tan thanh vietnamese

very busy vietnamese restaurant, selling authentic foods but the service wasn’t that good. try for once is enough for me. i would choose go to another restaurant in inala plaza there.

breakfast before the grocery run on sundays is the norm. so today i was with 1 child and went to tan thanh, the place wasnt busy as it was around 9am.

chose our own seating and we given menus, since we had pho yestersay, decided to have some rice. so went with combination broken rice and a serving of rice paper rolls (pork and prawn).

customer service is like most vietnamese restaurants, non existant. but what they lack there is good food at reasonable pricing.

i noticed that i had ordered before a few tables and they were getting their meals first, and what seemed like an eternity my meal came out. rice paper rolls with dipping sauce, the rolls were wrapped nicely. the sauce that goes with it was a little different, cant put my finger on it, but was not a fan.

the broken rice was on point, large serving, nice piece of grilled pork, egg, pickled salad, shredded pork and a pork cake. really enjoyed the rice dish.

awesome food, cheap and cheerful, friendly staff. well portioned size servings. highly recommended and we will return for sure! well done tan thanh vietnamese restaurant!

this is not a fancy looking restaurant but is always busy. for entree we ordered spring rolls which had just the right amount of crunch.
we generally get the pork diy rice paper rolls because it is such a novelty for the grandchildren. tonight we ordered the grilled chicken with broken rice and clear soup with crispy skin chicken.
the soups are definitely a popular dish for the locals.
our meals were great which is why we keep coming back.
we ordered a few milos but they only had enough for one. this is one of the kids do favourites. my sister ended up ordering the lychee tea which she said was so good she ordered a second.
the consensus was a four by all.

this is the best vietnamese place by far. awesome food for such a good price. i don’t think you can beat this. superb. absolutely loved this place.

i don’t have a photo sadly. but the only thing that i have only ordered is their cơm tấm sườn, or otherwise known as broken rice with ribs. they do not disappoint when it comes to rice dishes

this is one of our longstanding go-to places for vietnamese cuisine, particularly pho, in inala. we made another visit for a weekday dinner.

we ordered the combination rice vermicelli, my tho style egg noodles, combination broken rice and broken rice with pork chops. as well as sam bo luong.

the combination broken rice was very good - well-grilled and moist pork chops, good egg omelette and included all accompaniments of pickled vegies, runny egg, pork rind and cucumber.
the rice dishes also came with a side bowl of hot broth, which was a bit too salty.
the combination rice vermicelli was alright - with good combinations of spring rolls, sugar cane prawn, grilled pork, noodles and salad. i felt the grilled pork in this dish was a little too sweet though.
my companion thought the egg noodles were good albeit didn't contain enough protein.

the sam bo luongs were refreshingly cool, however were very sweet!

casual ambience. very quick and efficient service. prices very reasonable.

overall, despite the minor salty/sweet faults on this occasion, a staple of vietnamese cuisine (and cheap) - would recommend broken rice dishes and the pho.

our prawn rice paper rolls, grilled pork vermicelli salad and seafood noodle soup were freshly made and served in generous portions. their prices were reasonable. overall food was pleasant, yet average. the soup had way too much msg. the three colours drink was refreshing and not too sweet as we had asked. loved the clean venue and fast service.

food 6/10
service 2/10
i found a piece of sponge in my bowl of soup. didnt even offer to make another one or discount.
customer service is super bad. no smile, dont even thank or show any reaction when we placed our order.

*** this place has it up and down depend on the cashier of the day. most of them very rude! the waiter are ok.

great food and a great price. i ordered take-away and enjoyed my food at home. be sure to try the spring rolls.

we went when it was nearly closing time and the service was lovely. the food arrived quickly and the 2 noodle soups we ordered were delicious! however the fried rice was very average. the drinks were amazing and not too sweet like many other places.

pho (for or fuh)... however you say it. great tasting pho is really hard to find in brisbane. i've dined in lots of places between the city sunnybank and the surrounds... let me tell you this place is a hidden gem. yes probably a rough place to bring your date or anyone in that fact at night but when you're craving for some of the love you want from a beef noodle soup this place nails it! it's definitely in-pho-getable

i have been here a few times now and always find the food yummy. i have even taken grandchildren here and they liked the food even though they were nervous trying asian food. the only reason i didn't give this place 4.5 was i find it difficult to order as i don't understand what some of the dishes  are but do love trying new things

busy vietnamese restaurant hidden behind the markets in inala plaza. quick service and tasty food. enjoyed the pho tai and rice vermicelli with grilled pork and spring rolls.
