We have come to eat several times over the past few years and haver had the complete opposite experience to the past reviewer.

The food has always been excellent and original, the staff extremely polite and helpful and the owner a lovely charming woman. Service is always prompt and efficient, and it is great value too!

Last month we were seeing a show nearby and went when the staff were eating before opening (630) and she (the owner) invited us in and interrupted her own dinner to serve us herself. That is hardly what I would call bad service!

I agree it was unnecessary to move the other reviewer partway through their meal, but completely disagree on the service, food and cost.

We went to Thanh Binh and the service was really, really bad. The food was so bland that we had to ask for soy sauce. And the service was not good too as we had a waiter who looked like he couldn't care less about the world. The boss asked us to move from a four seat table to a two seated table halfway through our meal, which I thought was very rude.


And she justified herself by saying we did not order enough to make up 10 pounds per person. Unfortunately we did not read the small print in the menu and we just felt our entire dinner was very disrupted and we had the worst service we ever had. I am never going back to Thanh Binh again.

Thanh Binh has authentic Vietnamese cuisine, healthier & less stodgy/greasey than Chinese. Excellent value for money, restaurant food at take away prices. Very good lunchbox set meals, take away too. Book for evenings, gets busy. Pleasant efficient, quick waiters; exciting, volatile owner!
