About us

Rooted in the rich culinary heritage of Southern Vietnam's Binh Dai district, our story is not just about food; it's about family, tradition, and resilience. In 1993, our Vietnamese immigrant family embarked on a courageous journey to the Bay Area, seeking new opportunities and a place to call home. Settling in the historic Tenderloin district of San Francisco, we faced challenges head-on, drawing strength from our shared values and traditions.

With unwavering dedication and a dash of serendipity, we navigated the bustling streets of San Francisco, driven by a dream to share our love for authentic Vietnamese cuisine with our adopted community. In 2008, that dream became a reality as we proudly opened our first restaurant in South San Francisco. Through the years, we've cherished every moment spent serving our loyal patrons, creating a welcoming space where everyone feels like family.

From overcoming language barriers to mastering the art of balancing flavors, each step of our journey has been filled with love, laughter, and learning. As we expanded our reach to Millbrae in 2011, we remained true to our roots, embracing the spirit of community and hospitality that defines us.

We're grateful for the unwavering support of our customers, who have become an integral part of our story. It's your continued patronage that fuels our passion and inspires us to keep pushing the boundaries of flavor and tradition.

At Ben Tre, our commitment goes beyond the kitchen; it's a celebration of family, culture, and the shared joy of good food. We invite you to join us on this journey, as we continue to create memorable experiences, one delicious dish at a time.
