Benley Vietnamese Kitchen Long Beach Reviews
Excellent food, a little more unique than the usual pho places
The best food the friendliest staff and I will not eat anywhere else
Dismiss all the less-than-5 star reviews. This is some of the best food I've ever had. The pork banh mi ruled, the green beans are a must (the most unique thing I've had in a while) and the pho (steak this time) was also fresh, perfectly portioned and paired with a special mixed sauce. We also got the veggie spring rolls and big surprise: they were fresh, tasty and surprisingly good. I'd suggest this over almost any other Vietnamese spot I've been to and that's saying something.
Benley is great! Best Bun Thit Nuong around. Delicious cha gio as well. Will be back!
If you are looking for excellent Vietnamese food you can find it at Benley. My wife and I have been here a few times. We came here with another couple a week or two ago. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The other couple does not eat Gluten because one of them has Chron's disease. The very friendly waitress at Benley was able to provide safely handled, gluten-free, and reportedly great tasting food to both of them, while not limiting the options of those of us who do eat gluten. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Soo good environment is very peaceful thanks again new security guard -Dylan
Amazing food and service. The waitress remembers us from the last time we went and is the most friendly and attentive server ever. The green beans and the pho are amazing and always super hot and fresh. The curry is bomb too.
Best pho I have had fir awhile. Nice that one can order small portions. They do serve beer and wine.
i’ve never left a review, but benley deserves it!! ❤️❤️❤️ everything is delicious and everyone that works there is amazing!! i usually get the taste of vegan pho or lemongrass pork spring rolls. their spicy green beans will also rock your world
The food is always delicious, restaurant is always clean and staff is always pleasant.
We got food to go, so not much about dinning in. We have in the past, but not for a long time.
Benley is one of my favorite restaurants in the area, they have phenomenal vegan and non vegan options. It's tucked back in the corner of the center, doesn't look like much from the outside, but looks can be deceiving. My favorites are the Curry with Vermicelli, and the House vegetables with fried tofu. The owners and employees are so friendly, attentive and fast. Everything I have tried there is delicious.
It is a great place, you will not find it, unless you go looking for it, it is tucked away in a corner. They serve Gluten Free Options and completely aware of the dietary restrictions. We ordered the Pho (Chicken, Beef and Vegan), and they were excellent. The pan seared Salmon was also perfect. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. They have a very regular clientele and were very full during lunch, most of the customers did not even need to look at the menu, they already knew what they wanted. I will definitely recommend this place and be back again.
Fantastic Bahn Mi. Good roll ...flavorful filling. Briana was server....personable and helpful. Ill b back!
This place is amazing. We made it in time for the lunch special and it was incredible. I ordered the brisket pho and the Bahn mi. Usually at other places the proportions are way too much but this place had the right proportions. The pho wasn't big or small it was perfect and so was the Bahn mi. I highly recommend this place. The taste was incredible.
The spicy green bean appetizer is everything former customers said it was only better. I had the rare beef pho and my wife had the chicken bun meal. Both of these dishes tasted great and were filling. We have been to a lot of Vietnamese restaurants and this one is the gold standard. Thanks for a great meal and relaxing evening.
Very good service. Super friendly and explained all the specials. I liked it more that you could have a mix of banh mi and pho. The bahn mi was exceptional. Crispy toasted French baguette with benley ham.
This is one of my favorite places to eat when I want a quick healthy meal during my work week. Excellent food, excellent service, quiet, clean atmosphere. Dine in or take out. My favorite go to meals are the Lemongrass Spring Rolls and Chicken Pho! Yummy!
The prices fit the location, but the food is more Beverly Hills than Bellflower (actually Long Beach). The simple room is comfortable. We wanted to sample the offerings, so we ordered only from the small plates. The spicy green beans were a perfect starter followed by the house salad. The beef "Taste of Pho" was all we could manage after the pork spring rolls. Everything was excellent.
My favorite restaurant for Pho!
The owner greeted us immediately and made us feel at home. The service was quick. The pho, vermicelli, chicken cabbage salad, and Vietnamese iced tea were all excellent.
Pretty great place! Not like the traditional fast pho restaurants, but I appreciate the gluten-free menu at Benley. The servers seem to be very knowledgable about gluten ingredients in the sides also, a major plus! Of course the pho is great here and the vermicelli bowls. I also like the spring rolls. The best part: they're located right next to a gluten free bakery. So you can get a GF-safe meal and dessert!
Cold night and didn’t want to cook so we picked up dinner from Benley Vietnamese Kitchen. The pho was delicious as it always is and the green beans amazing. This time I requested and they kindly did it and gave me the sauce on the side so we dressed the beans with the yummy spicy, sweet and garlicky sauce so they stayed crunchy but will say they are perfectly crunchy every time but we knew they would be sitting longer before we ate. They also make shrimp with the same sauce, both to die for.
Our favorite local Vietnamese place. Great value on lunch combos. FYI they are open 11-8 from Monday to Saturday 6 days a week. Somehow Google’s info is messed up and thinks they are only open 3 days a week and that is completely wrong. We are enjoying a nice Saturday lunch.
Great restaurant it's a little small but very cozy they're very very nice The Waitresses very attentive the atmosphere is very cool I would say that if you like Pho or you like noodles this is the place to come for sure. Today it was a little hot outside so I hadn't rice vermicelli and it's kind of like a spring roll inside out and it was absolutely delicious I got the chicken and several other people got it you can get that in large or small. Also for the table we got fried green beans and they were just delicious with a nice hot sauce on it I can't say enough how good the food is if you have an opportunity to check it out check it out.
Delicious food! We arrived at the tail end of lunch time and I ordered the small pho with half a banh mi combo along with some egg rolls. Everything was tasty and the service was great! We were never left for wanting and our waitress was very kind.
If you are ever craving excellent Pho and would like some vegetable spring rolls, you must come to Benley Vietnamese kitchen! It is so refreshing.
What a great little gem. Very cozy restaurant hidden at the end of a strip mall. The ownership and staff have always been very friendly and attentive. They have an interesting variety of foods on the menu. While they have different Pho, this this is not just a place to grab Pho. If you don't want a full portion, you can grab a Taste of Pho (pictured), which is a 2/3 portion of their regular Pho. I also recommend trying the Cabbage Chicken Salad with Blanched Shallots. It has a crunchy oh, that slightly sweet and sour dressing that goes along with it. It's one of my favorites items to order. Their Rice Vermicellis are also good and I definitely their Spicy Green Beans which are very addictive. If you are vegetarian, they also have a few vegetarian dishes or I'm sure they can make some of the other dishes into vegetarian if you ask. If you're in the mood for Vietnamese cuisine with a slightly unique flare, I recommend coming here.
Everything here is fantastic. I could eat here everyday. Great Pho and Vermicelli. Get the green beans! Friendly service and no nonsense. Just great food.

Everything was delicious. Very fresh. We got take out. My husband mentioned that the vibe was super enjoyable so I gave that 5 stars too.
The broth here is beyond delicious. When we pulled up we thought we were going to get just your run of the mill basic pho with nothing special to it. We were proven wrong IMMEDIATELY. The flavor is so rich but also light. I could just drink the broth on its own. Their spicy green beans are also a great app to order before the soup arrives and they are very addicting.
the perfect rainy day spot! server/cashier/waiter was doing so so much and she was so kind and undeterred in the process. my partner and I were thoroughly impressed by her composure hahah she deserves a raise ! I loved how cozy the whole spot felt and it was clear care and joy went into making the meal from hearing the laughter and smells in the kitchen :) great food and truly wonderful place
Benley always hits the spot! We love their egg rolls, rice vermicelli, pho, bahn mi, and their shaken beef is bomb! 10/10 done in or get it to go it’s the best! Oh and The employees are the sweetest!
Brianna is the best waitress ever. No matter if she is waiting every table in the restaurant or if she is waiting on one table alone you will have an equally lovely experience! We will keep coming back for the service and delicious food.
Inreally love your food and this place but this woukd be the second time in a month that our order was pciked up incomplete. I hope the communication with the kitchen improves! Looking forward to coming in soon!!
We really enjoyed our lunch here! Brianna was amazing, and very informative. Will definitely return when we want Vietnamese favorites!
We love their pho but have also tried many other items and always enjoyed everything. The fried green beans are killer but much better when you eat in.
The food is always super fresh and delicious. The customer service is amazing! I absolutely love this place. I’ve been coming with my sister every chance we get since I had it! Love love love this restaurant!
Whether you dine in or takeout, you're going to get delicious food and impeccable service. Best pho in long beach with a lot of vegan/vegetarian options. I also love the spring rolls!
Been going here for years. Nice smaller place. Usually 1 server working. Good Vietnamese- focused food.
The food was delicious. The veggies were fresh and crisp, I will be coming back for the vegan pho and vegetarian spring rolls!
The food was delivered quickly and tasted so good. Just what we love on a rainy day!

The chicken Pho was excellent and the rare beef Pho was standard but nothing to write home about. I would have rated 5 stars because we were happy with our experience, but it took the server 10+ minutes to bring us a menu after we sat down with only a few customers in the restaurant.
I've only tried the pho here so can't speak for anything else. While the broth and the noodle seemed good, there was way too little meat. The bowl looked very sad... Felt like 95% noodle and soup, 5% meat. With the similar price, other places give much more meat. We went to eat at 7pm and I finished my bowl, but before 11pm I was hungry again. The service was very good and this place is close to me, but unfortunately without improvement we won't be returning.
Pho soup is salty and asked for hot water, but never brought it. The tables for two people are too close, so seating uncomfortable !
Restaurant was very nice. I ordered the Garlic Chicken wings and they were overcooked. The noodles in the shrimp and pork springrolls were overcooked. The beef and meatball pho was excellent. Appetizers not so great. I would go back again but only for the pho.
Great service but foods were mid. Came there thinking 4.6 was excellent but very mid. Should gone back to our other spot.
Loved their curry soup always…tonight new server and perhaps new cooks…normally curry broth is loaded with spices and herbs and is almost thick and rich! I told server not same soup I won’t finish it! She offered nothing not a word! It was watered down!
Great service but foods were mid. Came there thinking 4.6 was excellent but very mid. Should gone back to our other spot.
The inside is nicely designed and small. However, there was a fly in my soup which turned off my appetite. I fished it out onto a plate and I notified the server and they took the plate and came back played it off as a leaf. I don’t think leaves have wings or legs, wanted to like this place but I just can’t when it’s like this. Also for two bowls of pho it was very pricey.
