I went to this restaurant for lunch and enjoyed the food. I ordered the Bánh Khọt, which I had also tried in Vũng Tàu during my trip to Vietnam. Compared to the one I had in Vũng Tàu, I would say the Bánh Khọt here is very similar. The only difference is that the ones here weren't as warm as the ones in Vũng Tàu. The shrimp were fresh and tender, and there were plenty of vegetables in the dish. The fish sauce was perfectly balanced. The restaurant is small and a bit old looking/design, but it's clean, parking is easy to find, and has very simple menu. I also appreciated seeing elderly servers working, as it's great that they support older people in earning money at their age. I'll definitely return to try their Hủ Tiếu.
Nothing fancy but sweet service and delicious food 😋
Slightly tight space but otherwise fantastic. They have real Hu Tieu noodles, not the My Tho glass noodle or Pho noodles. The real one. Banh Khot is fantastic and their sauce is great. Really lovely place, highly recommend.
It doesn't compare to the competing banh khot places. The service is slow, the atmosphere is lacking, no music, and absolutely don't get the fried taro thing. It's a small mom and pop shop but they need improvement.

I will say.... for simple, straight to the point banh khot.... this place was good. The batter was good, and I liked the ratio of batter to topping. It was not too thick of a banh part. BUT - I will say I've had better banh khots that are a bit heartier and Maybe made with more attention, meaning ones that have the other Toppings on it. I was so surprised when the Shrimp one came out and it was basically just batter and shrimp. So basic. It was good!!! But basic is all. And it matched what we paid for it. So I'm not complaining. I'm just saying that be aware that it's that type of banh khot and not like others in more upscale restaurants. It's 5 stars based on the style of banh khot this place is known for. Service was ok. They were busy. There was a wait. I'd say it matched the ambiance and price point.

The bánh khọt was freshly made. Nice and crispy. The lettuce and mint leaves were also very fresh. I had a cup of passionfruit juice which was delicious.
Parking: Plenty of parking. The adjacent businesses don't need a lot of parking so that leaves a lot for this restaurant.

12 per dish? Great value. Personally taro dish isn't that great unless you like taro. Everything else is great, Banh Khot is crispy. Fried chicken is very crispy and even more flavorful inside. Fried rice is amazing! And I'm not easily impressed by fried rices!Update: Round 2 - passion fruit drink is good, the chicken was not overly fried this time and the flavor was even more excellent. Fried rice and banh khot are FIRE. Lots of viet cliente, this place is authentic/legit!!!

10:12 am Sun/8 Oct. They give tons of fresh veggies and the (in-house?) ground chili they provide to add to the fish sauce is nice. Small menu so easy to decide what to order.
Just a small place but cozy enough with great food and superbly friendly service. The best "banh khot" I have ever had in the US. Highly recommend if you are looking for something crispy served with fresh vegetables and mild fishsauce.

It’s very slow . You have to wait for hours to get food and drink
Not enough waitress and chef available . They should put the sign outside the door
Delicious banh khot, you should try stir-fried snails with coconut and tamarind ice!!! It's worth trying!!!??
