About Thanh Ha 2

Thanh Ha 2 bypasses trend-chasing to dish out Richmond’s crispiest bánh xèo at neighborly prices. Victoria Street is crowded with pho shops, but regulars pack this compact dining room for large-format sharing. A steaming thermos of Chinese tea hits the table right away, followed quickly by plates of herb-packed rice paper rolls, comforting beef pho, and dropped crab noodles. The showstopper remains the skillet-fried pancake—cracking open with pork, prawns, and bean sprouts meant for tearing by hand and wrapping in crisp lettuce leaves. Deep sips of custard apple smoothie round out the table before the fast-moving staff clears room for the next round.

  • Crispy Bánh Xèo: Oversized, crackling rice-flour pancakes packed with pork and prawns, built for communal table sharing with heaps of fresh herbs.
  • Massive Portions: Hefty servings across noodles, rice platters, and shared dishes make group dining affordable and guarantee plenty to take home.
  • Table Thermos of Tea: Tables receive complimentary hot Chinese tea right away, setting an unpretentious, welcoming tone before orders land.
  • Broad Regional Specialties: An extensive menu covers rare finds like dropped crab noodle soup alongside custard apple smoothies and full vegetarian options.

  • Complimentary Hot Table Tea

    Every table receives a complimentary carafe of hot Chinese tea, creating a welcoming and relaxed start to the meal.

    It was also really nice to have the free thermos of tea, which I don’t think I’ve had at Vietnamese restaurants before but was very welcome!

  • Specialty Sweets and Tropical Smoothies

    The multi-page menu offers regional specialties and tropical fruit drinks like custard apple smoothies rarely found at standard venues.

    Side note, I really appreciate that they do have custard apple smoothie — it’s one of my favourite drinks but I’ve only found it — or soursop — at a handful of Vietnamese restaurants I’ve been to.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, group sharing, and bill payment for an effortless meal.

  • Beat the Peak Crowds

    The dining room is compact and can get very busy during peak lunch and dinner hours, occasionally leading to queues outside. Arrive early or visit between typical meal rushes for immediate seating.

  • Plan to Share Signature Pancakes

    Signature dishes like the crispy bánh xèo are massive and designed to be wrapped in lettuce and shared. Order family-style among your group or prepare to take generous leftovers home.

  • Prepare a Single Payment

    Staff cannot split bills at the counter, so organize your payment among your dining party ahead of time if sharing large family-style platters.
