We've been going to Banh's Cuisine for a while now, and everytime we go, the food is always great! The prices are very affordable and the food is authentic. I recommend the Chicken and Brocolli with Sate Sauce! My girlfriend usually gets the Vegetarian Plate which is a special available on Wednesdays or Saturdays.

Great food, friendly service, very affordable in a modest hole-in-the-wall place on disposable plates. The Ginger Chicken was a great recommendation heavy on the broccoli and light on the chicken but balanced, generous and delicious with a great sauce. The Imperial Roll was an interesting appetizer with a delicious lemony sauce. Not a typical menu but I truly enjoyed the food and hope to return when back in Durham. No effort was made on the atmosphere with the most simple tables, chairs and flooring, no decorations etc. None of those are not things are game changers for me personally, I was there for the food. They do accept credit cards but the machine is not set up for tips so take some cash, they’ll appreciate it.

Excellent! The sesame chicken comes with fried rice for no extra cost. It's delicious. Even the broccoli is good. Amazingly, this place is also cheaper than any other Chinese/etc. restaurant I've been to in Durham

This is the best deal in town! I just wish it was open on Sundays. Fast and friendly service with fair pricing and the ginger chicken is to die for, fresh veggies, ginger, delicious rice and not too sweet of sauce like a lot of Chinese places can be. The Vietnamese food on certain days is fabulous too. This is such a gem of a spot!

Talking about the food itself is good and tasty. However, vegetarian plate doesn't have vegetables: large tofu with lots of sauce, sticky rice and a huge rice roll. If you order vegetarian plate for eating healthy, this is not a good option.

Great value. You get a filling amount of food without spending a lot. The food is tasty and cooked well. Small, modest restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and plenty of seating. They do a lot of takeout orders too. Friendly, helpful staff. Uncomplicated menu with a decent amount of options.
