Benjarong is a great place for a group meal. A solid location for bookclub, and the food is always delicious! If you’re lucky, the matriarch of the place will crack jokes and it feels like “dinner with a show.”
Great restaurant, friendly service and good food. My only complaint was the rice was slightly burnt but other than that everything else was great, especially the appitizers. Would definitely go back.
Beware the manager. Their hours are currently in flux, understandable considering the circumstances; yet she is very aggressive and was perfectly content with sending away a 3-top. I just ordered to go, instead to the tune of $95 and her comment was it’s not worth seating us. There was about 15-20 min till she said the kitchen closed and my two friends were en route, our business is 5 min away, and informed her they were on their way. Didn’t matter. My order will take 15-20 min to come up, and the restaurant still has 3 tables (I’m typing as I wait). It’s understandable that she needs to draw a line when to end service, I guess, but it seems to be the theme under the guise of Covid. Places are short-staffed, and raising prices; decreasing service and announcing their struggles about staying open. Another 2-top just walked in and was turned away! ~$200 worth of gross sales for 30-min is not enough apparently. I really hopeThe food is good. My friend wanted Thai House but they’re closed today. What a shame.
Great patio experience. Owner was friendly & helpful. Food was hot & tasty too! Cocktails were on point! Quiet & relaxing evening to celebrate!
I’m picky with Thai food which means there are only 3 places in all of Redlands that I love. Benjarong is one of them. I love their yellow curry. Their pad Thai is amazing. Spicy fried rice is also soooo good. I ask them to make everything super spicy and they nail it every time. I love that there are lots of vegan options along with non-vegan food as well so everyone can enjoy a nice dinner out. Plus, if dining in, super cute ambiance on the patio. ❤️
For as high end as this place looks the food was slightly bland. Although I enjoyed the smoky flavor of the chalmaine everything else needed a lot more seasoning and spice. The service was at least OK.
This place is a local gem! We came here hungry after a long drive home and it absolutely hit the spot. Tan and crew took great care of us and gave us some great suggestions on appetizers and entrees. We started the meal with the spicy liver and shrimp appetizers. The liver was nice and crispy, but also the sauce completed it with a perfect amount of sweetness. The shrimp was also great as it had a kick of spiciness, but the crunch you got from each bite made you wanting more and more. After we were about to finish the appetizers the entrees came out and we went to town. The dishes we ordered was the phad Thai, chicken larb, phad ka-pow, and pork panang. Each had great flavor and was really fresh, but our favorite was the phad ka-pow as we had never tried this before. Overall I would make it a point to stop here on our trips back from Palm Springs or Joshua Tree.
Amazing food and the staff was also amazing! We tipped everyone in the restaurant it was such an amazing experience. We both got the lychee martini and it was amazing! Will definitely be returning asap!
It is our first time to eat in this place and were pretty much excited about it. Food was great, tasty and good serving size but the service was very poor.. As soon as our food arrived and served to us, our server " she's caucasian by race, slim and got blond hair" never check on us. We ordered coffee and she serve it not even hot enough, no cream nor sugar, we thought she is coming back to bring it but none. Once we saw her, we ask for it and she said well because I dont know how you wanted your coffee. We ask her to warm the coffee but still when it came back the same cold coffee we got. She even put our spoon at the table without a napkin underneath the spoon. Very unhygienic. It breaks my heart to give 15% tip for a very poor service.. I will be our first and last time eating at this place or probably i will just order take out.
Good food! ??
