The story
A no-frills eatery on Dinh Cong Trang street famous for oversized Saigon-style banh xeo, turmeric rice-flour crepes fried in well-seasoned pans until golden and crackly. Wrap pieces in mustard leaves and herbs, dunk in nuoc cham, repeat. Expect shared metal tables and fast, brusque, efficient service.
This is the banh xeo most Saigon families grew up on — huge, shatteringly crispy, stuffed with shrimp and pork. Anthony Bourdain ate here and locals still outnumber tourists.
What to order
Special banh xeo (shrimp and pork)
The giant house special — one easily feeds two people.
120,000₫Fresh spring rolls
Good lighter starter while you wait for the crepe.
40,000₫Local tips
Wrap a shard of crepe in a mustard leaf with herbs before dipping — eating it with a fork and knife marks you as a first-timer.
Go for a late lunch around 14:00 for the shortest wait. Cash is safest.
