BEN THANH — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Ben Thanh Street

Ben Thanh Street food: A Little Slice of Vietnam. I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ben Thanh shop and it was truly a delightful experience from start to finish. Tucked away on a corner in Urban Marketplace at Exchange 106 building, this food shop offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at ease. We started with the fresh spring rolls, and they were absolutely perfect – the shrimp was plump, the vegetables crisp, and the peanut dipping sauce was rich and flavorful. For my main, I opted for the Special Beef Pho, and it lived up to its name. The broth was incredibly aromatic and deeply savory, clearly simmered for hours, and the thinly sliced beef was tender. It came with all the essential garnishes: spring onions, cilantros, and very delightful dipping sauce, allowing me to customize it to my liking. My dining companion raved about the Bun Cha Gio (vermicelli with fried spring rolls), the satisfying crunch of the spring rolls and the sauce made us feel like traveling to Vietnam. The service was attentive and friendly in their beautiful traditional costume name "Ao Dai" without being intrusive, and our food arrived promptly. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Whether you're a pho aficionado or new to Vietnamese cuisine, Ben Thanh is a must-visit place when you visit Tun Razak Exchange. I'm already planning my next trip back to try more of their...

This place is my go-to for Vietnamese food, and it truly is a hidden gem! I’ve been a regular customer, and every visit is just as satisfying as the last. The food is so good that I always forget to snap a picture and end up digging in right away!

The Banh Mi is crispy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with delicious fillings. The Pho has the perfect balance of flavors, rich and comforting. The Vietnamese rolls are fresh and light, making a great starter. And the coffee and avocado smoothie are a must-try!

The service is excellent, and even though there might be a bit of a wait, it’s definitely worth it. Trust me, you’ll never regret coming here. Definitely a spot worth visiting...

Service: full stars. A must try: Authentic De Gaz Dripped Vietnam Milk Coffee (RM13.09). According to the staff, the coffee bean was imported from Vietnam. Their coffee is sweet (come with condensed milk), so I’ll suggest for those doesn’t like too sweet, you may ask the staff to “adjust” the coffee 😆. By the way, their Organic Vietnam Lotus Tea (imported from vietname too) quite special. For the food, I’ve tried the Roasted Chicken with Banh Mi (RM14.85). It’s crunchy and chicken is sightly toward chewy texture. While the Fresh Spring Roll with Prawn Chicken (RM14.08), overall good taste but I highly suggest if you doesn’t like peppermint, put remark no peppermint. 🤭 Overall...
