Good food, friendly service, seating outside, and decent prices. I asked for pork and shrimp vermicelli while they only had either one on the menu. They did it for me for the same price.

Updated review 6/19/2025: 2025 update. We came by to have some trued and tried good noodle soups. Thanh Thanh Cafe is always solid for that. They re-opened after a few weeks of being closed for summer vacation. Last time, it was pretty disappointing to see the closed sign and the outdoor chairs gone. It was nice to see they were opened today. We had the wonton noodles L $16.50, pho combo w/egg noodles M $15, pho combo L $17 and shrimp spring rolls $10.25. Everything tasted fine. Service remains excellent. Updated review 2/5/2022: We love coming to Thanh Thanh Cafe because they open early at 9:30am. That's cool because we tend to ride our bicycles early and we don't have to ride down to the lower avenues on Clement to get a hot bowl of noodles for breakfast. Indoor dining is finally re-opened! No more sitting out in the cold at their single sidewalk table. For breakfast, we had the beef noodles $12, sate pho $12 and imperial rolls $8. Everything tasted great. The staff is friendly and gave the children candy after our meals. The bonus is, there's a popcorn chicken place next door with boba/fruit drinks. 23rd avenue is closed off to car traffic and Thanh Thanh is right there. Their noodles are something we look forward to during our ride. I'm so full now, I need to take a nap. Updated review 10/2/2021: There was a crowd in front of Thanh Thanh Cafe around noon today. It took them about 15 minutes to make my combo sandwich. We were going to eat at their single table outside like usual but it was too crowded. We ended up biking to the Marina Greens and enjoyed our sandwich there. The bread was soft with a crispy crust. Plenty of meats and Vietnamese vegetables inside. Too bad we were too far from Thanh Thanh Cafe at that point, because I really would have loved to get another sandwich. Original review: Brunch at Thanh Thanh is always a treat. They used to open earlier at 9am. Now they are open at 9:30am. Indoor dining is still not available yet. The young waiter does not anticipate opening for indoor dining anytime soon. They did add one single table for outdoor dining. We had a Vietnamese coffee, spring rolls and pho. The only drawback is they served it in to-go containers even though we were dining there. At least this time we didn't have to resort to eating at a neighbor restaurant's parklet. I still love the food and service here.

House Special Noodle Soup with ground pork, chicken and seafood, clean broth and a nice mix of proteins. Chicken (Ga) Pho, broth is deeply savory, but...Read More

This spot is the definition of hospitality. There are lots of great Vietnamese and Asian options nearby and I'm so glad I stopped by. The restaurant has lots of signs saying they're vegan friendly, and the menu posted on the window confirms it. Not busy on...Read More

Food is authentic and good. The same level I usually get in my hometown in Dallas, Texas. Would recommend if you're craving for Vietnamese food. I ordered special beef noodle soup, crab noodle soup, and egg rolls.
