Ben Thanh has long been a favorite. Their relocation to Windsor Square jus off Independence Blvd is in a larger, nicer space that's very accessible to South Charlotte. The food quality remains the same - very good - and service seems to be even better.
There is a very nice bar and they should have their license to sell wine, beer and sake' next week.
Ad added plus is a large room suitable for large groups.
It's still very affordable too!
