OMFG. OXTAIL PHO?????? So good and GENEROUS portion of oxtail. And the wings were PHENOM. GREAT prices. Easy five star win. And open on Xmas Eve 🎄 it’s a Xmas miracle 🧑‍🎄

Prob one of the better Vietnamese places in Lake Forest area. Been coming here for years and they never disappoint. They always take good care of me and make sure I get extra onions and veggies and sprouts for my Pho. There is a reason this place has been here for so long and is still always busy. A classic place.

First and foremost... this place was near packed both times we've eaten there. And that was TWICE in two days! YES... this place is THAT GOOD! Now for my review of the food. As for the pho, the broth was delicious. NOT just salty; like many other places I've tried. And just the right hint of lemongrass (not overpowering). I tried the 2 item BUN today. Grilled pork and egg rolls. With a side of oxtail. Let me start with the grilled pork. It was not overcook (still tender). And I think the egg rolls had vermacelli and meat in it (VS. Just vegetables). It tasted more like a Korean man-doo. Now for the oxtail! I almost DON'T want to let you all know how dang good it is. I'm gonna leave it at that! I'm guessing this place is a family run establishment. The service is first class. The prices? You must come see for yourself. And the portions? Again, come see for yourself! My family and I have decided to try to dine here at LEAST once a week. Again, "YES, THIS PLACE IS THAT GOOD"..... 👍👍👍👍👍 + 💥💥💥💥💥

Our go to Vietnamese food, all meat fried rice, calamari rings and the oxtail soup always hits the spot. Mother and daughter brunch dates go to, service is always great too- friendliest worker, will check on you every empty plate they pass by. Ambience is homey

Excellent food, efficient service, and affordable prices! It’s so nice having this place east of I-5 when I don’t want to drive all the way to Little Saigon for good Vietnamese food. The bún riêu was amazing, and the portion size was generous. The waiter stopped by several times to check if we were ready to order or needed anything else. Look forward to coming here again!

Delicious pho! A bit expensive, but it's definitely worth it. The noodles were cooked perfectly and so chewy. The broth was flavourful and service was nice. Food came out really fast which I appreciate. Highly recommend the oxtail pho as it comes with a giant piece of tender, fall-off-the-bone oxtail meat. Got the fresh spring rolls as well--one beef and one shrimp. Loved the peanut sauce. Would recommend the shrimp one for sure. Cafe sua da was nice and creamy and strong. It was also a nice portion.

This is one of my favorite pho places. My family has been coming here since I was in elementary school. That’s 15 years plus! 😱They’ve gone through quite a few changes and maybe a few price increases and redone menus but the food has always tasted wonderful and we keep coming back. 🍜🍜🍜 The eggrolls are amazing. They also have huge portions so I’ve never left hungry.

The food came out super fast and really hot broth, I had the rare beef pho and was very good, I wish it came with more jalapeños. I sat outside with my dog. The servers and the manager were super friendly and attentive. The beer wasn’t super cold, i was a little bummed, but I will come back again for sure. The table next to me had the oxi tail and looked the bomb! Thank you for a great lunch!

I’ve been coming here with my family since I was a kid, the servers are super friendly and funny. The fried calamari is to die for, along with the other dishes such as the pho and plate bbq dish.

Had a medium rare beef phó. Among the best I've eaten. Worked in and around Little Saigon for 20 years. Thanh Binh II holds its own with the best of them. Best of all staff was super friendly.

I really don’t want to have to wait a long time to get a seat here, but when people find out that’s what is going to happen. The people here are nice, the food is great and overall it was truly a pleasure. I can’t be selfish and keep this to myself; we have to support places that are doing it right. Loved it!

Really good rice plates. They get super busy at lunch and parking is a battle. There might be a wait but the servers are quick. Worth it. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Excellent service! I had better service here than at some Michelin star restaurants. Very attentive waiters / greeters, continued to check in on us but didn’t feel like they were breathing down our necks the way some restaurants feel. The food was delicious. This is our new go-to pho place!

It's not easy to find really tasty vegan phō, but we found it here! The broth is yummy and the tofu cooking method gives it a great bite. Service is fast and friendly. The tofu spring rolls are great, too. They also have a couple more vegan dishes here.

I have been going here for years - since I was a kid to be exact! This was when their walls used to be a medium shade of pink lol. My dad was a huge pho enthusiast and this was one of his favorite spots. After my dad passed away when I was 10, we stopped going. We continued on with our lives and I eventually found myself living in LA for 3-4 years and moved back to OC in 2020. I drove by the shopping center soon afterwards and saw that it was still open! So, I went in and tried it again. Their fresh spring rolls are always* tasty. I LOVE their combo fried rice and their fresh coconut juice. I'm one of those customers that once you find your favorite dish, it is hard to try another one because you just can't get enough of it. I am not a big pho fan like my dad was, but whenever we went here it was like a trip to Disneyland for him LOL. They never changed anything about their food or service since I was a kid. To be exact, I must've been 6-8ish when we began going. I'm turning 27 this year. To say that about a restaurant shows how much they value quality.

Ronald Song (Old Boy)

Thanh Bin is one of the best Pho restaurants South of OC! Normally, I like going to Westminster/Garden Grove for my fix of Pho, but Lake Forest is way closer to me. Service is always on point and the soup comes out piping hot every time! Never been disappointed with any of their menu items like their Egg Rolls, Rice Dishes (Cơm tấm) and their Dry Noodle Dishes (Bún).

A
Aubrie Yocono

this place is gas. prices, flavor, customer service, speed in food being ready, ALL OF IT is better than any of the vietnamese restaurants in the area. I would pick this place every time. never skimps on freshness, flavor, or quality, but is still cheap. the customer service is so welcoming and sweet. they’ve never messed up my order which is rare because i’ve ordered there so many times. love this place, go here.

A
Abigail Eats

A local favorite! Beyond the ever-popular pho, they do an array of other dishes that are very much worth trying - the vermicelli bowls with grilled meat is so refreshing when it's hot out (I always get the chicken and beef - both come perfectly seasoned and grilled with just the right amount of char), the deep fried calamari is a great starter to share, and I love their spicy chicken wings with rice. Service is quick and cheerful.

We showed up with a party of 20+ people, without a reservation. This is about half of their total capacity. They provided excellent service and were super kind to us. Food and drinks arrived very quickly. Oxtail pho was very good. I would visit regularly if I lived here.

The food is amazing. This is another hole in the wall place. You can eat inside or outside. There is so much to try from soups, Pho, to stir fries. Love the fresh spring rolls!

Doctor Bo

The calamari is one of a kind to what we have tried! We get it every time. Shrimp summer rolls are great. And love the bo luc lac as well as the vermicelli noodles with 3 meats :) Super high quality, very potent flavors (in the best way possible) We drive out of our way, past many other Vietnamese places for the quality of these guys. And it's usually packed which is a good sign!

E
Elaine

My husband and I have come here for years and we love the phó as well as their other dishes. It is the only restaurant we haven’t gotten tired of but have now been regulars for 17 years! The staff is great and the food is affordable. Our favorite Vietnamese place and favorite restaurant in general!!!

A
Aaron Canaday

We go here quite a bit. The waiters are always super nice and helpful even when we have the kids. We love to get the egg rolls and they provide lots of lettuce, mint, and carrots to wrap them. You can tell they have a lot of pride in what they do.

Casey Palacios

This place is soo good. Had the oxtail pho and it was amazing. The food tastes fresh and good portion sizes. I am definitely coming back here and can't wait to try something new. The staff is soo nice and friendly, they were more than willing to show us how to eat the food and just the best service I have had in a while. The friendliness of the staff made the food taste that much better. This is definitely a gem that I have found in Lake Forest.

I visited in 2019, and it's just as delicious now as it was back then. The fried calamari is always tasty, no matter when I have it! The only downside was that I felt a bit rushed when paying, as they had me settle the bill right in front of them. It caught me off guard, and I couldn’t tip as comfortably as I would have liked.

The food was delicious. The pho had such a good flavor in the broth. I also had the shrimp spring rolls. Very pleased to have had lunch there today. Not too busy even though they did have plenty of guests. Went early. Around 11am. The service was very good, they checked on us twice to see if we were pleased with our selection. Fair price for a lot of food.

Kelsey Ries

One of the best Phos I've found in OC! The broth has so much flavor and the beef is great quality. It's reasonably priced and definitely worth going. The service is great and everyone is so nice. It's near my work so I end up getting it at least once a week to feed my addiction. I can't get enough! So good!

This place is great. The food was refreshing. I’ve never had pho before, they had plane option which allowed me to have the experience without having to have meat or tofu. I am picky. I finished everything I could fit in my stomach. We got there late right before closing but they served us with a smile and never made us feel rushed. The ac had an issue but they resolved and accommodated us with grace and efficiency. I feel like I’m definitely going to be looking for that bowl of pho again until I find a place that will provide the same authentic quality. 9.5 overall because of the ac issue but I wouldn’t let that hold you back. 10/10 recommend the food and service.

This is a solid Vietnamese restaurant in South OC. Everything about it is very traditional, the menu and food would be just the same in Vietnam. Got the Pho Tai and Oxtail Pho. Oxtail was nicely braised, the Pho Tai beef a bit overdone. Broth was good. Get the large for $1 more, the portions are huge. To some previous posters that reflected on the higher prices, or humble furniture, welcome to South OC, the rent is too damn high.

The Vietnamese food at Thanh Binh 2 is reasonably priced, diverse, and delicious. Unlike other places, the portion sizes come in three options: S, M, and L, which is great. However, it was a bit uncomfortable when they brought the card machine directly to the table for payment, including tipping. On the positive side, they provided ample napkins on the table.

Mark Crystal

Really recommend this place for their Pho with Beef Ox Tail. Meat is very good and tender. Soup base was good today also. 1 star kept it from being a 5 Star was because noodles arrived uncooked and hard. They literally just dropped them in the soup.

Where can I go for great pho in the Irvine/ Lake Forest area? Thanh Binh!! I am so glad I found this place, because previous I going to the horrible Pho 99 just down the street. Pho 99 has horrible service and food quality, but I went because I was desperate for some pho, but now when ever I have cravings Thanh Binh! I love their Large number 1 Pho special, but the thing that I enjoy the most is the egg rolls. Vietnamese egg rolls can vary extremely from restaurant to restaurant. Some places are crisp others taste old and soggy. Thanh Binh has the freshest tasting viet egg rolls I have ever tasted. I would recommend wrapping it in lettuce and the other veggies provided and dip in the vinegary type sauce. The Pho has a delicious soup base. I'm still unsure if they use MSG or not. The soup is very flavorful on its own, but you can always spice it up or add mint, lime, hot sauce or jalapenos to taste. The Large is enough for two people, but if you are a hungry man like me you won't be let down. The pho includes a lot of meat.. I wish they would slice it thinner, but still delicious. The service is very friendly and attentive, which is a shocker, because I don't expect good service when I eat a Vietnamese restaurant. I am glad that Thanh Binh changed pho experience. Highly recommended. Pho- shizzzle! See you there.

The Pho is really good. The service is fast. Parking can be hard during lunch rush and friday/Saturday nite but well worth the effort to get good pho this side of Westminster

V
Victor Soto

Price are a little to steep I’ve only have gotten the pho from there so far and garlic calamari pho first time I went was a little bland and the cup of water they give out was tasting bad. I thought I’d give it another try Went ahead got the garlic calamari that was beyond amazing also got pho and it was beyond full of flavor. Glad I gave it another try people working there are so nice. But price point is steep I paid 76$ for 2 bowls of pho 1 garlic calamari and 2 drinks When I’ve gone to other places I typically pay between 30-45$ But I do recommend this place

D
David Manseop Kim

Good tasty pho, but soup of Combo pho is a bit bland. Spring roll is good

B
Bret

quite good. The #24, fried rice with shrimp, chicken, and beef is only $12 and can feed 2. The calamari on "appetizer" menu is more like an entree for 2, or an actual appetizer for a party of 6-12 people. a lot of calamari for $15, though you can't taste the garlic in it. when i got the calamari, it was not over done (rubbery) or under done. it was soft and done just right.

Bryan Abshear

I've been coming here for 10+ years. Based on where I live/work, it's my go to spot for Pho. They have really solid food and everything here is good. Nothing will blow your mind, but it's still good. The staff is usually really friendly and there is almost always a crowd for lunch and dinner.

M

Only for the garlic calamari makes this restaurant worth coming back for. Plenty of meats and delicious morsels within the house pho. Expect it to be busy at dinner times and weekends. Very helpful service.

M
Michael Shea

Consistently good on every dining occasion. Everyone is happy to serve you and grateful you came. Personally, I like the being remembered and the hospitality as much as the food. My wife and I prefer this restaurant over competing vietnamese restaurants. Reasonably priced casual dining. I give five stars for the food and hospitality, and four for the atmosphere, as the emphasis is on casual.

E
Eileen Tien (田艾茹)

This is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in South OC. The food is delicious. Their pho is great. The broth is tasty. A large pho can easily fed two people. Their vermicelli and rice dishes are equally good. Our favorite is the BBQ pork + egg roll vermicelli and pork chop combo rice. The service is always courteous and friendly. The staff always have smile on their faces. I came in with the 10% off coupon. The waiter took 10% off the bill, and told me to keep the coupon so I can use it again next time. I gladly added the 10% off amount on top of his tips for his good service. The price is unbeatable. You can get very full with leftover to take home for under $10!

This is my go to spot in Lake Forest. It gives me the old school vietnamese restaurant vibe with the not so rude staff. Staff is super friendly, and they're attentive. The place is always packed whenever I come here, so that's always a good sign.

Pretty generic for Vietnamese food wasn’t impressed. To be honest. Ordered the shaken beef and it was pretty much bland. I had shaken beef many times before and mine was a little bit off. The spring rolls were somewhat dry so I had to rewet it with water to revive the wrapper so I ended up just eating the inside and tossing the wrapper. Came here for lunch from work so decided to stop by the service was great don’t get me wrong. But disappointed because of the reviews ordered my partner some pho because he wanted some for lunch on our break and even the pho was bland. Their wasn’t any flavor no anise, black pepper cardamom where is the seasoning. Disappointed because we paid about 70$ bucks and some boba on the side. I wouldn’t mind giving it a try again but for the price I’m better off going to garden grove for some amazing Vietnamese food

Limited seats, service is fast. Their Calamari is delicious.

The pho didn't really taste like pho. It was a good soup but bland. The egg rolls were ok. The service was nice and the place looked chill.

Quick service. Not the best atmosphere. I did have some great food for lunch. It was definitely somewhere I'd go if I work nearby, but I wouldn't travel to eat there.

Nice Standard pho place, MSG created this great tasting broth and delicious pho. Some people do mit react to it, some as I get des mouth from it and need to drin lotsen if water. Place Nerds sind TLC but the family Run Workshop Hardware to keep you happy.

i have been coming here 2 years mostly on lunch time, i cant say its the best pho i have ever had but pretty consistent, I usually order brisket & rare steak combo i wish there is more meat in it but its ok. I understand they are busy but i always feel im rushed every time i dine here.

This is the most regretful review I've written. My wife and I had been eating at this restaurant since the mid 1990s and during the 30 years we lived in Ca. it was our favorite Vietnamese place. The old menu was full of great combinations. My favorite was the charbroiled pork, shredded pork, meat cake, and rice combo. The nước chấm sauce was always flavorful. The chả giò were fresh, crisp, and flaky and were served with a pile of lettuce, jalapeño, sprouts, fennel, and mint. So, when we came back to Ca. after two years on the East Coast, we were really looking forward to visiting Thanh Binh again. Something had gone wrong during the last two or three years. The menu is now reduced from what it used to be. The rice combinations no longer include shredded pork or meat cake. In the combination that was available, charbroiled pork and shrimp, both the pork and the shrimp were dry and tasteless. The nước chấm sauce was watery and over salted. The chả giò were almost inedible, and served with only a couple of lettuce leaves, mint, and shredded carrots. The reason this is three stars instead of two or one is because the chicken curry stew that my wife ordered is delicious. The service was friendly and efficient as always, but somehow the people cooking the food have lost interest in making it tasty and memorable. We'll always remember the many very good meals we've eaten here over the years but, this is not the same restaurant anymore and we won't be back.

Food is just OK. Nothing special. Had the garlic calamari and I had much better. Spring roll was good. Little over priced for the quality of food and atmosphere.

I ordered Bun Bo Hue to go. The broth was good. The garnish... I didn't use it. The bean sprout looks like it's deteriorating. The lemon wedge is yellow around the edges. Terrible...

D
Davin

Overall a three star. The pho was filled with MSG, and the egg rolls had basically no meat. The beef chicken noodle bowl was good, but not worth the price. Customer service was okay… the waiters were really rushing the customers. The water also smells.

A bit pricey but a good place to get your Vietnamese food fix without having to go to Westminster/ Fv area. Expext to pay $3 a piece for egg rolls.

Than Binh is a long-standing local Vietnamese spot that’s clearly been around for years; and it shows! The first thing you’ll notice is how worn and grimy everything feels. The outdoor seating consists of old Costco plastic tables and chairs, darkened with age and use. Inside, the furniture is so dated that the tables seem permanently coated in a layer of grease; they’re sticky to the touch no matter how many times they’re wiped. I’ll spare you the details about the bathroom: it’s not a pleasant sight. As you can see in the photos, presentation isn’t their strong suit; the dishes often look hastily thrown together. Yet, surprisingly, the food tastes good... if you can get past the overall cleanliness issues. What really bothered me, was the extra charge for an additional lettuce leaf! Bottom line: Until this place gets a serious cleaning and renovation, you’re better off ordering takeout.

They open at 9 am. That's a plus. Pho is bland and expensive for the quality.

To be frank, this place has you paying a premium price for below average food. The reviews and ratings are from what I ended up experiencing this evening. We had a table of 6 with varied dishes ordered. Both my husband and I had some variation of the vermecelli bowl and shared a plate of their every si popular calamari. Calamari was raved, and honestly, just fried battered calamari with a vinegar-pepper dipping sauce. Nothing special? But with a price tag of $21, it's definitely not worth it. The $17 vermecelli bowl was the worst entree I've had in a while. Chose to go with pork and an eggroll, immediately smelling and tasting the old oil from the fry of the eggroll. Leaving a disgusting greasy aftertaste in the whole bowl. The pork slices were scarce and flavorless. Also very skimpy on how much nuoc mam was given. As terrible as the food was, the service was fast and friendly. I can't tell if we came on an off night, but the space was pretty busy the whole time we were there. Wouldn't come again, don't recommend.

Way overpriced for what you get. The portions are average at best. Flavor lacking. No soup, no egg roll. Definitely would not eat here again. Waste of money.

I am a regular customer here. But now I feel betrayed. Yesterday (5/19) I also went away with my wife and kid. I ordered this and the price was $59.5. 1 noodle small 1 noodle large 1 fried rice 1 egg roll Later, I looked at my card payment history and saw that $76.46 had been paid. It seems like the server or the owner overcharged. If you see this post, please correct the payment details properly.

Something has gone terribly wrong. I ordered bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup), extra spicy. I received a bowl of noodles and fat. There was no beef in my beef noodle soup, and the broth was nearly entirely oily fat. Usually bun bo hue is very flavorful and one of my favorite dishes, but this was just melted fat with hardly anything else. I have no idea what went wrong, but this was disgusting. And of course, it wasn't spicy at all, totally plain. I tried to salvage this with extra spice, but it was just too revolting. It went in the trash.

Sadly no flavor to the PHO I ordered a large steak and brisket. Where was the meat? Minimal Where was the flavor to the broth? Missing Unfortunately they lost this hungry girl, i will drive up to Santa Ana to my regualr spot from now on. The spring rolls were cool they blackened the shrimp so that was a nice surprise but my main meal sucked. Like NO MEAT for a large PHO. Wow. But what sucked the most was the bland broth 😔

Terrible service. We ordered the vegan entrees from a menu category that explicitly says vegan. They gave us fish sauce with the noodle dish and when I asked the owner about it, he basically put up his hands and said I don't know. He disappears, and then someone comes and picks up my dish, and 10 minutes later I have a new one. No apologies, no discussion, nothing. Terrible service and avoid this place as clearly they didn't care.

Just when you thought with the cold weather lets eat something healthy mmmmm how about a hearty warm soup. I had a to go order thank God we didn't eat at restaurant lighting was very dim. I won't be able to notice there because of dim lights once we came home after we ate ,and what we saw was horrible.I went back talked to the manager and managers response "yeah they forgot to wash the vegetables and sorry but these are not cockroaches." If you see the picture it clearly shows more than one. I will never ever eat here again. I wonder how many people gotten sick after eating here. I contacted health department already, I am pretty sure they will be paying a visit to this filthy restaurant.If you are going to serve baby cockroach at least have the courtesy to put it on the menu so people know what they are eating. To top it off the romantic ambiance and dim light keeps you from guessing what you are eating.

# Un Viaje Culinario a Vietnam en el Corazón de Lake Forest: Explorando Thanh Binh Cuisine y la Riqueza de su Gastronomía

Lake Forest, una joya residencial en el soleado condado de Orange, California, es un crisol de culturas y experiencias. En medio de este vibrante tapiz, Thanh Binh Cuisine se erige como un faro de la auténtica gastronomía vietnamita. Ubicado estratégicamente en El Toro Road, este establecimiento no es solo un restaurante, sino una puerta de entrada a una de las cocinas más veneradas del mundo, ofreciendo a sus comensales un viaje sensorial que trasciende las fronteras geográficas. A través de este artículo, profundizaremos en la esencia de la cocina vietnamita, su rica historia, sus sabores distintivos y cómo un lugar como Thanh Binh Cuisine contribuye a la diversidad culinaria de Lake Forest, invitando a residentes y visitantes a descubrir sus encantos.

Lake Forest: Un Entorno de Bienvenida para la Diversidad Culinaria

Lake Forest es una ciudad que encarna el estilo de vida del sur de California: comunidades planificadas, espacios verdes abundantes y una atmósfera familiar. Situada en el centro-sur del condado de Orange, la ciudad ha experimentado un crecimiento significativo desde su incorporación en 1991, atrayendo a una población diversa que valora la calidad de vida y las oportunidades que ofrece la región. Su desarrollo se ha caracterizado por la creación de vecindarios tranquilos y bien mantenidos, con un énfasis en parques, senderos y lagos artificiales que le dan nombre a la ciudad.

Esta diversidad demográfica y el deseo de una vida equilibrada se reflejan en su oferta gastronómica, donde cocinas de todo el mundo encuentran su hogar. La presencia de restaurantes como Thanh Binh Cuisine subraya la apertura de Lake Forest a las tradiciones culinarias internacionales y su capacidad para integrar sabores auténticos en el tejido de la vida local. La ubicación en El Toro Road, una de las principales arterias de la ciudad, asegura que Thanh Binh Cuisine sea accesible tanto para residentes como para visitantes, invitándolos a explorar una experiencia gastronómica única que enriquece la paleta cultural de la comunidad.

La Historia y Filosofía de la Cocina Vietnamita: Un Legado de Frescura y Equilibrio

La cocina vietnamita es el resultado de siglos de historia, influencias culturales y una profunda conexión con la tierra y el mar. Con raíces que se remontan a la antigua China, que dominó Vietnam durante mil años, y un período significativo bajo el dominio colonial francés en el siglo XIX y principios del XX, la gastronomía de Vietnam es un testimonio de adaptación y creatividad. Los vietnamitas han tomado elementos de estas culturas, como los fideos de arroz y el wok chino, o el pan (baguette) y el café francés, y los han transformado en algo intrínsecamente propio, caracterizado por su ligereza, frescura y un equilibrio armonioso de sabores.

La filosofía culinaria vietnamita se centra en el concepto de "yin y yang" o "ngũ hành" (cinco elementos), buscando un equilibrio entre los cinco sabores fundamentales: dulce, salado, ácido, picante y amargo. Este equilibrio no solo se aplica a los sabores, sino también a la temperatura y la textura de los ingredientes, y se logra a través de la cuidadosa selección de productos frescos y de temporada, y el uso experto de hierbas aromáticas y especias. A diferencia de muchas cocinas asiáticas que pueden ser pesadas en aceite o salsas ricas, la cocina vietnamita se distingue por su enfoque en la frescura de los productos, la cocción al vapor
