Thanh Linh Vietnamese Restaurant

Be careful with the waitress. They are not honest. I forgot my credit card there once, then I came back to get it. However, after 2 weeks, there was more than 1 transaction keep charging my card which I did not make it. The total was more than $ 300. I was really passed. I am sure it is from a person who work there. They should take the information of ny credit card before I get it. Now, I am reporting those transaction (shoe shopping, trying to pay the bill) to the police. I am sure the police will catch them because that person was trying to pay his/​her bill.

I ordered the spicy lemongrass shrimp (extra spicy) for my main meal and had the Vietnamese spicy beef jerky as an appetizer. Everything was wonderful; however, my daughter had the spicy lemongrass chicken and asked for it to be extra mild. Just a warning for those lacking the desire for spicy food, even the mild was to hot for her.

My favorite Bradley area restaurant. Very reasonably priced with very generous serving size that’s almost always good for leftovers. Always go for the noodle or rice dishes.

Great authentic Vietnamese food. Love going here for both the buffet and menu items! You can’t order something you won’t like!

I am a loyal diner here so I will finally leave my opinion regarding atmosphere and food quality. The restaurant was recently expanded from their much smaller spot. I love the décor and personal touches. They play music from the radio so it’s decent. The staff is super friendly, which is why I love coming here.
On to the food portion. Although, the restaurant is technically Vietnamese, it is far from authentic. Most of the dishes adopt Chinese and Thai flavors. The menu is a fusion of these kinds of dishes. Most of the stir fry dishes are very sweet (probably use the same sauce to make these with). I tried the hot pot once and the broth was equally sweet! That is a turn off right away. The sugary taste overpowered any spices or other flavors there. I was completely disappointed. The phở was decent. The portion was plenty! Their buffet is very reasonably priced ($ 7.95 plus tax) for the amount of options they had. Again, sugary taste with the stir fries and soup entrees. Their chicken egg roll is good, but the meat in the filling tasted very dry. Overall, if you don’t care about authenticity then definitely give them a try!

Great food! My favorites: pork dumplings, lemongrass chicken, phở –especially in the winter! I am not a fan of the buffet personally. I always feel that food is not too fresh under the heat. So stick to the menu! Pricing is excellent!

Best goons in the world – believe it. All their food is fantastic. When I return to Peoria, this is the only restaurant I make a point of visiting.

Definitely the best phở in town. Food is great. Service is sub par. Very reasonably priced. Whether busy or slow, the waitress hardly returns to the table. 4.5 stars for food. 3 for service.

This Vietnamese Restaurant is pretty good and popular. I think it’s genuine Vietnamese food, some is very similar to Chinese food. The noodle tastes good. Also lunch buffet has low price and good quality. I went there many times with my friends.

I had the spicy lemongrass chicken and rice with a side of egg rolls. The chicken was fairly sweet and not what I would call spicy, but it was pretty tasty. Their portion sizes are ridiculous and fairly ambitious, so order the smallest portion!

I’ve eaten here a few times and it has always been decent food. However, we had the buffet today (11a-​2p) and it was a little sad. The actual food on it was good but it was quite small. They do have fantastic soups though. The layout of the restaurant has a cafeteria feel to it, but the service is fast and friendly. It seems more Asian mix with Thai and some Chinese dishes, than actual Vietnamese and it sucks that they don’t have authentic Banh Mi sandwiches. However, I’m glad this place exists in P-​town cuz this town needs some more restaurant variety!

The food is so good and fresh. I always get the lemon grass beef which is my favorite. The spring rolls and Phở are always very fresh. It’s hard when I come here to choose what I want off the menu.

I love this place. The food is fresh and amazing. The flavors are vibrant, the prices are low and the portions are huge. I ate off of my green curry for 4 days! Everything I’ve had there has been an adventure. Try something new! Your won’t regret it.

Good food,
Buffet, not very good for vegetarians. They had one vegetarian dish and rice.
But al a cart food amazing taste, good presentation.
The place is packed most of the time. Obviously because of the good food.
Will go here often, but too bad I can only order al a cart. :(.

Great lunch buffet. Always busy at lunch so arrive early.
Lots of really good vegetarian options, which is why I go here often for lunch. They also have a menu with the best Phở in the Peoria area. On Saturdays only, they offer a special Saturday Phở which is excellent.
In the mood for something different, try their bubble tea. Very unique.
Arriving at 11:00am for lunch you’ll have a chance to park in front, otherwise there will be parking behind the building.

Best phở ever here! Hot, fresh and come with lots of herbs and veggies on the side. Flavor I great and you get a bunch for your money.
This is by far my favorite Thai place. Get there early for dinner, because otherwise you will have a wait. This place is well know in the area.

A solid choice for Vietnamese in Peoria.
Being from San Jose, I’m spoiled for choice and quality of Vietnamese food, given the large Vietnamese population out there. So coming out here to Peoria, where there’s literally 1 in a 50 mile radius, expectations have to be set accordingly. Let’s get the weirdness out of the way– this place has a (mostly panda-​express like) lunch buffet, which seems popular with the college kids. Not at all Vietnamese, but hey, this place is hopping, so who am I to judge?
The menu looks better, offering Phở, Bun, and rice plate you’d expect from a Vietnamese place. I was happy to see Bun Bo Hue on the menu as well (a spicy beef/​pork noodle soup that’s one of my favorites), though only offered on Saturdays.
I settled on the Bun– GF friendly rice noodle salad with grilled pork and egg rolls with pickled veggies and a sweet fish sauce drizzle. The portion was HUGE. So great value for the money. Quite tasty as well.
All in all, this place is busy (good sign), with huge portions at a decent price, and efficient service. If you’ve gotta get your Vietnamese on in Peoria, it’s not a bad choice!

Every time I go out of town I look for Vietnamese food and it never comes close to comparing.
This is THE BEST FOOD, hands down!
I love the thick rice noodles and spicy lemongrass chicken so much I never know what to order…
So I do both /​servings are large and leftovers are abundant and good the second day too!

Love this place! The phở here is just as good (if not better!) as some of the phở I had when I grew up in California near Little Saigon. It’s like a little taste of home right here in Peoria.
I always get the phở without meat and add vegetables to it. It’s definitely a different way of eating phở, but I really enjoy it. I actually initially just asked the waitress to get it with no meat and she suggested to get it with veggies as a substitute and I’m so glad I did. There’s really nothing better than a nice warm bowl of phở on a cold day… or really any other day!

My boyfriend and I went here today because One World Café was busy and we didn’t want to wait. We ended up being pretty happy with that decision. From the outside, Thanh Linh does not look that impressive, but its interior is — contemporary and clean. I was impressed.
The service was a little bit odd however. When we walked in and told the hostess how many were in our party, we followed her to what we thought was going to be our table, only to realize she was helping another group. Whoops. Then, there was an awkward dance between the hostess and one of the waiters about seating us which lasted for a few minutes, but we finally ended up with a booth. To be fair, they were pretty busy, but it was a little funny.
I had the Vermicelli w/​chicken which was super tasty. The portion was generous. My boyfriend had the special Saturday beef soup, and that was also very good. I enjoyed this place and would definitely come again next time I am in Peoria.
