Iconic Lafayette Vietnamese Restaurant Pho Benny Hits the Market
Pho Benny, a well-known Vietnamese restaurant in downtown Lafayette, is now on the market. The business opened in 2021 and remains operational despite the sale listing. Its menu features traditional dishes like pho, spring rolls, and banh mi, making it a standout in the 925 area where few Vietnamese eateries exist. The restaurant spans 1,700 square feet and includes 50 indoor seats along with patio dining. It holds a beer-and-wine license, operates a walk-in cooler, and offers parking at the rear. Annual revenue is reported at around $900,000, with monthly rent—including NNN charges—set at $7,500.
Public listings show conflicting asking prices, with some sources stating $270,000 and others $280,000. In 2025, the alcoholic beverage license was transferred to Pho Benny LLC, a company where Thu Hoai Vo serves as an officer. The restaurant is also a member of the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce. While the business is for sale, such transactions do not always lead to operational changes. For now, Pho Benny continues serving customers in its current form.
The sale of Pho Benny presents an opportunity for new ownership while the restaurant remains active. Its location near shopping and its established menu could appeal to buyers looking for a turnkey operation. The business’s financial details and licensing status provide a clear picture for potential investors.
