Binh Lê Restaurant

Waste of my money, I recomend you try Lisu Thai Kitchen accross the street i stead. I visited in early February of 2024. Its located accross street from mini mall 31. Has plenty of parking area and easy access from 31st and Lakewood ave. The couple that serve food here are not great at customer service the guy its not as bad as the lady though. We came in the evening and did not feel welcome. The moment we walked in the lady seem annoyed and bothered for having us. We did not really care thought still stayed and asked for our food. Of course the lady would get upset and frustrated about anything, like asking her for drinks with no ice, or asking for soy sauce etc. Service was very crappy. Food was ok, it was fresh, and warm but not super delicious. Food portions in my opinion were super small. We paid and average of 20 per person and they still seem unreasonably upset and just grumpy. Not worthed this is a place I will not ever come back. If you want to try good asian food , I recomend you try Lisu Thai Kitchen accross the street instead.

It saddens to give such a bad review because I know Binh Le has been a Tulsa treasure for so long, but I think it might be time for new management. The interior is clean but not well maintained, and the service is pretty... casual. Unfortunately, the food itself was not enjoyable and lacked any real flavor or seasonings. We both also got a little sick shortly after eating lunch, which could have just been a coincidence.... But ultimately it was not a good experience for the price and we won't be back.

I always order the Deluxe Bun Cha Gio It is a win every time. It’s a salad with beef, chicken,shrimp,pickled carrots (they are the best) lettuce,rice noodles and chopped egg roll on a day I have this I usually have it for lunch and can skip dinner it’s that filling. All for $16.50 it is a bargain!!

The owner recommended a Vietnam salad, the most popular item on menu. Was delicious. Forgot to take a photo of the dish before I finished.

Binh Le is the best Vietnamese food in town by far. I’ve been going here all my life since my mom and grandma took me here growing up. I’m a big fan, and I’m still convinced that they make the best peanut sauce for the imperial rolls I’ve ever had. Order the pepper chicken, and the imperial rolls in addition to anything that you already had your eye on.

Do not eat here. I ordered 3 dishes and egg rolls cost use 61 dollars. The soy sauce bottles were gross looking. The food wasn't good. I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Rudeness is the order of the day. Frightful treatment from that old woman and menu prices inaccurate. I refused to pay anything but the menu prices and walked out. I was threatened and told them to sue me if they wanted to make an issue. So far no law suit.

Food is exceptional. I’ve eaten here a handful of times. Today, I was charged a different price than was on the menu. When I asked about it, I was met with incredibly poor customer service. He became upset, started explaining the prices he pays for things and slamming what he was giving me (bill, receipt, etc.) I attempted to explain that I did not mind the price or think it was too expensive, only that it should be reflected on the menu accurately then. He did not listen and kept telling me how I’m the only one who complained and other people charge way more, how much more expensive it is to buy what he needs. I ignored his rudeness and asked if he planned to update his menu and he said no. It will change everyday. I do not feel I was asking something unfair. This has absolutely deterred me from wanting to return, there are many other exceptional places in Tulsa that I can eat, will treat me well and have accurate pricing. The woman who works with him seems miserable every time I go in, barely acknowledges you or says anything. And now I see only a glimpse of how he must treat her. I will not patronize this.

food - the food at the restaurant has been fresh and delicious every chance i've had to dine or get take-out food there. today, I ordered the chicken fried rice, with which my server offered soy sauce when he delivered the dish. i had water to drink, as that seems to be poured as a standard at the restaurant. the fried rice was good, as usual, with the experience today reminding me how much i like bean sprouts cooked as part of a fried rice meal. the dish was a little more expensive than i was anticipating, but i believe worthwhile for fresh and organic ingredients. service - as suggested before, the waiter was attentive and accommodating. i especially appreciate his waiving the order of spring rolls i originally requested with my meal to-go. and i'd also like to recognize here the work of the couple who owns and operates the restaurant, who consistently deliver high quality food and service. ambiance - the decor at the restaurant is superb, including several murals and wall hangings, with my favorite being the gold cat with a metronomic paw, though it did not seem appropriate to me to take a picture of it. i also like that the placemats on each table include information about lunar zodiac, but it confuses me slightly that the placemats say chinese zodiac, and the restaurant serves vietnamese food. either way, i like learning that i'm categorized by my birth year as a rabbit zodiac sign, with some associated traits.

We have been going to Binh-Le's for 36 years. We absolutely love the food there. Going there tonight. Can't wait! The owners cannot ever retire! Never ever had a bad meal there! It's fabulous!

I absolutely love this place. We've been eating there for years. My two favorites are the Bun Cha Gio and the Vietnamese iced coffee.

This is the worst restaurant I've ever eaten in Tulsa. The food was horrible. The noodles were barely there, and it was hard. I didn't enjoy anything, even the service sucks. If they fixed the food and made it authentic Vietnamese and not Chinese, I would recommend this place. I am just being honest, and I am utterly disgusted with my meal. I am not going to finish my meal. It is a sad atmosphere, but I give them a star for being open during the holidays.

The food here is amazing! The service is great too. The gentleman who usually waits on us is funny, but his wife (?) seems shy and she doesn't talk as much. I recommend this place to all my friends and family.

This was one of the worst restaurant meals I've had, & was overpriced for the quality. First, I had 2 imperial rolls; the filling was only rice noodles & lettuce, 2 for $5. But even worse was the entree - vegetarian chow mein. It was a small bowl with a few veggies and only what seemed to be bottled soy sauce. The sauce was thin & very salty - not a prepared sauce, & about 1/4 cup of it was pooled in the bottom of the bowl. I couldn't eat it. Probably worst of all, when I went to pay for it, the menu listed the price as $9.99, but my bill listed it at $12.99. I questioned that, & the server said, "Oh, that's an old menu; it's $12.99 - & that's what I had to pay. I've eaten at Binh Le several times before & was fine with it, but I won't go back.

Consistently delicious! The deluxe bowl is the best in town!!! Ginger chicken is also very flavorful. My husband loves the pork chow mein. Food is so good and never ever greasy!!!

Bun cha gio was delicious the service was funny she didn't say much just carted the food out and handed it to us lol. It's clean place just a little too cluttered.

This place is not Vietnamese... It is a sad version of terrible american food topped with poorly made Vietnamese street food... IF THAT EVEN. Wet, dissolving, stringy iceberg lettuce, floating on some sort of creamy-watery vinegar mixture (due to the lettuce being stored in a tub with water in it for WAY too long and it not being strained) topped with overcooked rubbery seafood? No thanks. I gave it 3 tries before leaving this review. Every time it was a disaster, I even asked the owner what HE would have if he was eating there- and it was a terrible mixture of hot-dogs, battered & fried pork on top of chopped lettuce, bean-sprouts and again... iceberg lettuce that is just WAY TOO DAMN WET. On a positive note- The spring rolls are great; As well as the service. I don't know why everyone here is crazy about this place. It is NOT GOOD VIETNAMESE FOOD.

Delicious. Variable service -- from average to stunningly, indifferent; bring somebody to laugh it off with.

A true Tulsa gem. Binh-Le has been a long time favorite, not just mine, but my family loves it, too! We have come here for many occasions- birthdays, reunions, and just to spend time together over some amazing food. The owner taught me how to fold a napkin into a swan, and how to use chopsticks when I was a little girl. He also has an incredible memory- you will have to go and check it out for yourself! Their veggie egg rolls are the best in Tulsa. They are light but yummy, the perfect appetizer. I reccomend the Bun Cha Gio (pronounced Bun-Cha-Ya) salad, the cashew chicken, and ginger chicken! They usually aren't busy if you go during non-peak hours, so it's a great place to go for a quiet, intimate experience with loved ones or for a date! This is my best kept secret in Tulsa, and I hope they are around for many more years. They have contributed to so many special occasions and events with their delicious, authentic Vietnamese cuisine and their stellar service!

Biggest nightmare I've ever experienced at a restaurant! When we first walked in, the server (an older woman) had no smile, people skills, and didn't even greet us (her and the owner were very rude and uninviting, seemed like they didn't want to be there). They were out of certain items on the menu that were not available. The server never came and checked on us during our entire time dining. When we got the bill, I went to the owner at check out and kindly showed him that the menu prices were lower than what we were charged (menu prices were 20% lower). He aggressively and rudely answered, "Give me your credit card!! Food is going up all the time!! Have you seen the prices at a grocery store??" I've never seen such an angry reaction before from restaurant staff, I thought he was going to attack me! Didn't even want to acknowledge that they have not updated menu prices in a long time. Food was average at best. Despite being called a Vietnamese restaurant, they only served Chinese food. Beats me how this place is still in business. This place should be shut down for good! Why even own a restaurant when your customer service skills are terrible, and belligerent to your own paying customers?? Should get 0/5 stars!!

It was good it was fresh. It didn't not have enough space for me. No ginger, no wow factor the service was great. The owner and helpers was very nice and helpful It was good that I like more wow to my flavor. We will try it again.

The absolute worst experience. Went early. No one there. Took forever. Hair in egg roll. They replaced them. Sweet and sour chicken absolutely not sweet no sour. Super bland. When we got the bill the prices were completely different. When I asked him he got super offended and said have you seen the prices of groceries? Of course I have I'm in the food business. However you can't just go and put what you want on the bill without informing the guest!!!! It was about an $18.00 dollar difference. The coffees alone were changed to 1.74 more. Completely rude. Never go back never recommend. Also who puts hot dogs in lumpia rolls?

This is our favorite Vietnamese restaurant and has been for years. The pho, the spring rolls and the bun go (salad bowl) deluxe are the best we've had in town. The spring rolls and peanut sauce are phenomenal. Furthermore, the prices are very reasonable. I told my sister about Binh-Le after she moved here 14 years ago. She is also a repeat diner. YUM

Great Vietnamese food. Imperial rolls were excellent and also enjoyed the bun cha gio. Staff was very friendly and take-out was ready very quickly. I look forward to going back and dining in person soon.

This place has the most delicious Pho and egg rolls I've ever tried. I recommend the beef pho! I absolutely love giving this place my business. If you're considering trying this place PLEASE do it!

I love this restaurant! It was my first time coming here and I ordered the deluxe bun cha gio. It was delicious, it reminds me of my mom's so that's a bonus. The veggies were very fresh, the spring rolls were crispy and the meat was well seasoned. This restaurant is very authentic and I definitely recommend this place to everybody!

This Vietnamese restaurant is worst experience we had in Tulsa, we traveling from Texas we don't live around here . food is old nasty test , the meat was too fried , I don't know how people eat this food they should shut down this restaurant, i called the restaurant to tell them about how was the food owner was start casting bad words ( dum a) Vietnamese mean fuck your mama, he said he had been cook 39 years but food was like shit, very very bad food, pho is not cooked , never never try this place, will let Tulsa department know this place should checked very dirty , I will give 0 star

How have I not reviewed this place?! This was my families first introduction to Vietnamese cuisine and boy were we spoiled. This quickly became a popular choice on our rotation of restaurants. The service is wonderful and the owners always remembered us. The food here sets the standard for Vietnamese food everywhere I go, and every time I come to Tulsa I 100% have to visit. My standards are: -Imperial Rolls (the clear wrapper, mint, and the peanut sauce is so good) -Shrimp fried rice and PINEAPPLE SAUCE! -The bung chai ya......that was my white girl way of spelling that. Basically the big bowl with everything good combined inside (noodles, beef, lettuce, and top it with a chopped up egg roll, wha!?) Also the clear sauce is seriously bangin. I am soo happy this restaurant has stood the test of time. In fact I am going home next week and this will be very high on my list of visits.

Jeffery's review was spot on! I can't wait to have the "deluxe" next time as the Bun Cha Gao was awesome. We also enjoyed the spring rolls! What a pleasant surprise this hidden gem is. From the friendly fast service to the great food. Reasonable price! $10 a person. Highly recommend!!

All way awasome can't say enough about the place fresh food every time. My favorite place to eat.

The chicken soup is magic! Seriously the best soup in town. Nicest people! Easy to get takeout from.

This place is my favorite place of all time. I could only eat form here for the rest of my life. I highly recommend the chicken fried rice and a tai iced coffee. Binh is the nicest person you will ever meet. He always is quick with a Joke and always has a smile in his face. Don't let the outside of the restraint fool you. If you aren't a regular it can seem like a bit of a gamble but trust me it is so worth it.

This place has great food for what it is. It's nothing fancy but everything we ordered was fresh and tasted really good. The service was quick but I have to admit the lady co owner wanted to rush us along which I found annoying and offensive at times. We had never been there before so we took our time reading the menu, in about a 10 minute span she came to the table 3 times and scurried off the last time obviously annoyed, she came back a 4th time and just stood next to my friend while we finished deciding, it was rude and just unprofessional. We were nowhere near closing time, for the record. Once the order was in she left us alone then the food started coming out, we got one of the family dinners so there were multiple courses which was nice. The food was very good, everything had great flavor and tasted like real food, I can't say enough about how good it all was. If you're looking for something super authentic or really fancy this isn't that type of place, but if you don't require those then you will absolutely enjoy the food. When the check came we were still finishing up the very last of the food and our fortune cookies, which is fine but clearly she was sending a message. Then after 10 minutes or so (we were still eating the last pieces) she walked up to the table, didn't look at us or say anything, and lifted up the check to see if we had laid a card or money down which we hadn't, then hurried off with a slightly annoyed energy about her. Finally I went up and paid and everything was smiles and than yous. I feel the food and the atmosphere of the place deserve a high rating but the co owner really needs to relax a bit with the customers, I see other reviews saying the same types of things. I think 3 would probably be a more accurate all around rating but the food was that good and she was nice most of the time other than her rushing. So note to the owner, back off your customers and don't lose business because you want to rush people out, we don't like it and just want to enjoy our meal on our timeline.

The customer service is great when they get to know you but at first it seems rude. I think it's probably because they pay so much attention to their delicious recipes! special dinners on the back of the menu are our go to orders. Always order for an extra person and get the deluxe. Pick up is second best to having dinner in person

I love the food & the atmosphere. One of Tulsa's best kept secrets. I hope to return as soon as it's safe to do so. Going to try their carry out too!

The service is so poor in this restaurant. I went during my break while in school at 9pm. The lady that owns or runs it, came over and hurried me to order, didn't talk at all and her and her husband or business partner sat across the room and just stared at me while I ate because they were in a hurry to close up. Sorry I chose to spend money in your establishment . I get it, I'm in the service industry and I know it's annoying when people come around closing time, but service industry is about the service and that definitely wasn't the focus at my visit. Won't be going back.

This has to be the worst experience I have ever had at any restaurant EVER! ON VALENTINE'S DAY TOO! The man took a good minute or two just to get to the front counter when we arrived, was offended that I requested chili sauce instead of chili paste and corrected me "chili paste chili paste chili paste" verbatim with a very dude tone. The service was nonexistent once the food came out and we had to call the single waitress (who was apparently also the other cook other than this waiter who appeared to be the owner) over to request takeout boxes. Even worse, the 2 Asian families seated adjacent to us were treated like royalty and given smiles and offered extra items on the menu, as if Caucasians are unwanted. F this place I will never spend another dime or minute of my time here again.

I was in town for work. Not being familiar with the area I didn't want to drive to far from my hotel, because I might get lost. If it wasn't for YELP, I wouldn't have any clue to what types of food was in the area besides, fast food & pricy hotel foods. I enjoy vietnamese food so I wanted to try this restaurant due to the convenience of the location between work & the hotel. =) When I arrived there there was only one couple there and myself. Not knowing what to order, had to take a quick glance at yelp pics to see what most people ordered. I was surprised with my order. Being from the bay area your use to seeing a lot of green, (veggies) If you'd like to see pics i'd posted a few of my order. Taste was um...ok no rich flavors, I think it could have been better. It wasn't a wow effect or anything. It did get the job done. Tummy is full. I did't go back for a second try. I think I had hotel food & mexican food which was more flavorful. As for customer service there isn't any in this establishment.

Best Vietnamese food that I have food in Tulsa. We love the Pho and the Deluxe Bun bowl.

Charges more for tofu than meat ( didn't know until the bill came) and was rude when our order was messed up :/ Portion size was okay. We loved this place when we came to Tulsa last year but this experience left me sad. The veggies are not fresh but canned. The sauce was amazing. Just didn't sell me this time.

We just moved into the neighborhood and this place is fantastic!!! Dine in or take-our everything is fresh and delicious! We had the combo and extra spring rolls. Will definitely be back soon!

A brilliantly tasty menu and an enjoyable atmosphere. Highly highly recommend for anyone who enjoys asian cuisine in general. The deluxe bun cha gao (deluxe vermicelli salad) may be my favorite dish in the world. The egg rolls are also the best I've had throughout the world. Sauces are incredible. Pineapple beef...I could go on forever. Must try. Dine in or take out.

Don't go in a hurry and stick with authentic Vietnamese (not sweet & sour). The chicken soup is OUTSTANDING.

A friend of mine introduced me to this place. And I must say the food is delicious! If you haven't try, I would recommend you do. This will be my new spot.

Been wanting to try this place for a while now: FOOD WAS AMAZING. I tried the deluxe bun cha gio and an iced coffee, both tasted b e a u t i f u l. The bun, was super fresh and full of flavor. Portions will satisfy you without leaving u feeling over stuffed. The iced coffee was strong, sweet, creamy, and PERFECT. Can't wait to visit again (:

They have the BEST Phō in town! Imperial rolls are amazing and veggie soy dish is addictive! They have tons of options for vegetarians

Fair warning: I am Vietnamese and I was born and raised in areas of California that are notorious for their delicious Vietnamese food. In other words, my standards for Vietnamese food are very high. I realize that the Vietnamese food here in Tulsa can in no way be compared to the food that I've had before, so I will not be overly critical. I got the beef pho. There are two sizes - small and large. The small bowl cost about $4 and the large cost $9. I got the large, and once the pho was brought out, I started to wonder how teeny tiny the small actually is. The large was the smallest bowl of pho I have ever seen. It is smaller than usual child size pho bowls that I've seen before. Very overpriced (but again, I don't know how the market for Vietnamese food runs here in Oklahoma). The pho itself was interesting. The broth was decent and the noodles were good, but the meat was very odd to me. The broth was a little fatty, but it wasn't completely MSG laden and had good flavor, so I was pleased with that. The noodles were overall cooked well - some of my noodles clumped together, but that's okay. I'm used to pho coming with many different cuts of meat, but here, it was only one and I'm not sure what it was. It seemed like a chopped up beef - kind of like bulgolgi. Really odd texture to me. No tripe, tendon, meatballs, or rare meat like all of the other pho bowls that I've ever eaten. My overall impression of this place is that if I'm really craving pho for my remaining time in Tulsa, I'll be back. But, if this place were to open up near my home in California, I would not come here.

I won't returned. Husband and I moved into Tulsa and saw that this place was close to us. Went in and wanted to order a bowl of pho....I wanted small and the waitress said, "oh no, too small. You need to order large." I asked how big is large and she walked over to another customer's table and picked up a bowl and said loudly, "this is large." The customers looked at her weird. Wow! I said nevermind. That large bowl was the size of a small in regular pho restaurant and I definitely was not paying $9. For her to pick up another customer's bowl to show me and said this is large, was very rude. We ended up ordering a plate of fried rice and stir fry noodle. Definitely not coming back.

Price is too high for the serving size of the pho and the owner too arrogant about his restaurant being in busy business for 37 years.No bean sprouts or basil leaves given unless asked for.Soup base does not taste like authentic pho broth.Try elsewhere next time you want authentic pho.

Binh Le has good Pho, while it may not win the title, best pho in Tulsa. It is very good. Just a little different; once you get in the swing of eating it, you start to crave theirs in particular. The specialty at Binh Le, would be the Deluxe Bun Cha Gao. Best in Town. The spin they put on this dish, is chopped pieces of Shrimp Potato, in addition to the standard chopped egg roll. This really is the best menu Item. Pro Tip: You can just order the "Deluxe", and they'll know what you mean. The Imperial Rolls are highly recommended as well. They're basically un-fried spring rolls, with shrimp and vermicelli, wrapped in rice paper. With peanut dipping sauce, you can't go wrong. Summation: Pho, Bun Cha Gao, Imperial rolls. You'll be happy camper with any combination of these. I wouldn't waste my time, or calorie intake with any other menu items, other than the Vietnamese Coffee(Rich, Iced Coffee). It's delicious. Don't be deterred by what some may consider a rather "sullen" demeanor with the service. I think it's worth it, and probably somewhat a cultural difference. I wouldn't suggest getting too offended. Just laugh on the inside. They really are nice folks. Just become a regular, you'll see. Final note; The soundtrack for your meal will most likely be super authentic music. Enjoy!

Honestly the quality is top tier. The soy meat is where it's at. I wish there menu was organized more like Ri Les (the sister restaurant, I believe), but everything is so freaking fresh- the quality can't be missed. Honestly if you're upset about the pho just order anything but that. Pineapple soys is what I've had both times.

Oh my goodness the food is so good here and the owner is friendly and Funny. His story is amazing, too. What more could you want?! I'm going back right now for the delish bun cha giao!

It was so......................... quiet in there! Certainly not sparing any extra fundage on ambiance, Binh Le says, "It is what it is." I ordered the egg rolls and cashew chicken (after reading about Beau R. going on and on and on about it) and I'm so glad I did! It was so delicious. The egg rolls are the perfect size and really tasty. They come with some awesome dipping sauce that was a perfect complement to the appetizer. The "sweet soy sauce" (what was that called, Jeff?) was so good- I poured it in excess over my rice and was quite pleased with the results. I will definitely go back. Soon. They had a strawberry beef on the menu that certainly piqued my interest...

Binh Le was okay. The food was not bad, but it's not a destination stop. I came in for lunch on a Saturday, and the place was pretty empty. There were two other tables dining, and a family came in as we were leaving, so it was fairly slow. We got pho (listed on the menu as beef soup) and the special fried rice. The pho was a decent portion (we got the large, which is similar in size to the small at Pho Hoa in OKC. Our server said there was also an extra large size, which wasn't listed on the menu.) The broth was kind of lackluster; it wasn't bad, but it wasn't memorable. The noodles were a little firmer than I would have liked, but that's personal preference. It came with the standard plate of bean sprouts and herbs, and some sriracha and hoisin on the side. The special fried rice was also not particularly fantastic or terrible. It came with Vietnamese sausage, chicken, and shrimp, and generous amounts of them. There was some char on the meat, so you know it's actually fried. The sausage was the best thing about the dish - it was similar to lap cheong, but on the leaner side and still very flavorful. We were given a dish of nuoc cham for the table, and it was a good accompaniment for the fried rice. The service was good. Our water never went empty, and our menu questions were answered politely. Really, the most memorable thing about this restaurant was the music. Some Vietnamese music was playing over the sound system, and it was legit. It varied between what sounded like marching music , 80s synth pop, or a computer MIDI file, all sung in Vietnamese.

Very good, authentic Vietnamese food at a reasonable price. Deluxe bun cha gio is delicious.

While the service is not effusive, it is quietly efficient. And the food is wonderful. Not overly sauced and wonderfully balanced. Will definitely be back The Vietnamese coffee was the best iced coffee you'll ever have.

Every time I am in Tulsa, I make this vietnamese restaurant a priority to visit at least once. We get the deluxe bin gao (sp.?) with extra shrimp toast. The imperial roll appetizers are a must; they come with the best peanut sauce I have ever had. So good I could eat it with a spoon if propriety didn't get in the way. The lumpia dogs are a fun novelty, but if you like peanut sauce even mildly, definitely go with the imperial rolls.
