So how does a Latina know the best Vietnamese food? Well, growing up in LA, specifically an area called Monterey Park - just outside of East LA - my neighborhood is part of the San Gabriel Valley's amazing Asian cuisine landscape.... Moving to Charlotte with my husband, meant that we left behind some of the most awesome Asian cuisine.... just look up a place called "Golden Deli" in San Gabriel, CA and you'll know what I mean....
So we have been exploring Charlotte's food scene and looking for some of our favorite cuisines... We love Pho, the traditional Vietnamese rice-noodle soup, and Ben Thanh does not disappoint on this soup: the broth is fragrant and flavorful.... I also love their egg noodle soup with wontons... The only thing I would love to see is that they improve on their Imperial Rolls... Although their spring rolls are very fresh and my husband loves them.... We have gone back for their Pho and are glad we found this place! They are also great with kids - our two-year old loves the broth and we ask for the rice noodles on the side so he can enjoy too! They're always nice and have great service....
