Banh Cuon Thanh Truc

This Vietnamese place is amazing food-wise. The location is in a small commercial front, in the middle of a not-so-posh area, very unassuming and if you are not looking for it, will be extremely easy to miss it. The ambience is very casual and simple but clean and neat so if you want to impress your companion look elsewhere, unless your companion is a foodie and cares about quality food. Weekday evening, not busy, our order was taken by a nice lady who brought us hot tea right away. Condiments were very fresh which is always a sign of everything else to come. We got rare beef phó and chicken phó, plus spring rolls as appetizer. The ratio meat-broth-noodles was well balanced. Phó have a rich, subtle flavor that fills your nostrils as well as your mouth. We didn't even chat over meals, we were so busy keeping our mouths busy. I finished with Viet hot coffee: Strong and nicely sweetened. The bill was very affordable and we barely could walk with such a big tummy. Next time we'll go for small bowls instead. In summary as a non-Vietnamese patron, the flavor was top notch, fresh and highly satisfying. Service was prompt and friendly. Facilities were clean, neat and simple, location is a bit industrial but reachable, prices are affordable. If all you want it to have a nice, healthy meal, Bahn Cuon Thanh is worth a try and regret-proofed.

Great place for Banh Cuon! The rice rolls are nice and thin, something that a lot of places don't get right. I ordered BC4, the special that includes Cha Lua (pork sausage), Cha Muc (squid sausage), and biscuit and it was very good. We had an order of snails in coconut milk, which was like a Thai green curry with snails. I don't recommend the chicken wings though, as they were not marinated well and overcooked. Their Vietnamese coffee was also delicious, highly recommend it! Staff were very friendly and there's some parking spaces out front. Overall a great experience here.

We ordered pho with rare beef and beef ball, pho with shrimp and crab imitation sticks. Love their broth and fresh ingredients. They also offer various sauce on the table. Reasonable price and good portion of food.

We normally go to the other Banh Cuon place on St Clair but on Thursdays it’s closed so we tried this location for the first time. So this is where things get weird, where do I start because upon entering the restaurant you see a Mexican flag hanging out front with a banner for La Nayarita, and upon entry the server who was a Caucasian man told, us to sit on the right side of the restaurant for the Vietnamese menu, whereas the left side is for the Mexican menu, both my friend and my menu had slightly different prices on them. We ordered the Bánh Cuốn Đặc Biệt and Bánh Xèo which were big in portion size—however the bean sprout and veggies were lacking. The dishes were flavourful with a generous bowl of nước mắm and chopped chili. I’d wish they’d given me a wider variety of fresh herbs instead of just romaine lettuce and mint. Service was excruciatingly slow because it was only 2 cooks in the kitchen and the one man server. The bill with tax and tip came to $58 which is quite pricey. I’d come back again but maybe opt for take out instead.

This is the second time I come to this restaurant with my boyfriend. It is located on St Clair Ave W, that you can take Bus 71 from Runnymede Stn or just 10mins walk from intersection Weston and St Clair Ave. There are many parking lots right in front of the restaurant. As its name "Banh Cuon" (steamed rice rolls), Banh Cuon is a must-try here. We always order Banh Cuon to share because the portion is large. The rolls is cooked softly, well- seasoned with meat inside. They come with Vietnamese ham, some basils, bean sprouts on the side. On the second visit, we also try the Bun Bo Hue. It looks really attractive but the broth is a bit bland, not really tasty. We order the snails, but it seems like they were stored in Freezer for too long that makes them hard, chewy and losing taste. Staffs are middle aged man and woman but services come fast and attentively. Shortly, Steamed rice rolls is the most delicious dish that I would totally recommend. Will still come back for that.

So, we attempted to eat here before, but on the first night we went, they must have finished a big party because when we came in, they said they were out of most foods. So we came back a second time. Luckily this time not busy at all. After ordering our food, i could see why this place ran out of food the first time. Yummy! If your in the mood for Vietnamese food, this is a must try place!

Best restaurant I have ever tried in Toronto. The lady owner is so hospital, caring and friendly. Would come back here if have chance. Highly recommended 😘😘😘

The snails was cooked perfectly topped with sautéed spicy minched meat. This place is such a gem we also tried the Bun Mam which is a very traditional noodle soup dish (fermented paste in the broth) and it tasted like home definitely a dish recommended for those who want to try and venture out for different tastes! Banh xeo was very very crispy and the Banh cuong portions were on point. I have zero complaints.
