Love this place! Best Banh Xeo around with a uniquely crunchy outer shell and the most beautiful assortment of perfectly fresh and delicious greens. Costs more, but it's definitely worth it. The atmosphere is exactly as it should be... you know you're paying for tasty, authentic food, not fancy decor. Will definitely be back!

FIVE STAR for the food & service. It's the ambiance I didn't care for. The place looks old and dark... and the restroom looks like it belongs in a 3rd world country.Food is soooo good... so definitely worth going.

Banh xeo is good but I always ask for no bean sprouts because it makes the crepe soggy. Wrapping the banh xeo with rice paper is a game changer. The vegetables are always fresh here and the crispy chicken is also a good dish

I was in New noodle city and fresh from HCMC when I realized I never had a bahn Xeo when I was in Viet Nam . Then I found out it's pretty hard to find on Valley Boulevard. So I did some research and found this place. I begged The Worm to take me and we chatted our way over there. The look of the place from the outside was not promising -- I thought it was closed -- but inside in was super cool, an old shotgun donut diner. Half the tables were filled and the owner, James, seated us and gave us the simple menu. I was going to get the vegan one because gout but he sensibly intervened and suggested we get the fish. We did. It arrived huge and with a big plastic bag of greens -- he told us to wrap it and drip it in fish sauce, and further suggested that if I liked spicy I could put siracha or Chile sauce IN THE FISH SAUCE. I cannot believe I got this far without knowing about, much less thinking of, this genius step. It tastes so, so good, god knows how James got all that flavor in there. So very satisfying in ways I was not expecting. The Worm was well impressed that Thai Tea was only $2.50, and it was very good. The iced sue da was full of flavor too. New addition to my top five. Thanks James!Vegetarian options: Vegan B X! But don't order unless you have to, the fish is good

This is like our 3rd time here to eat banh xeo. Their band xeo is crispy & given generous fresh vegetables to complement with the banh xeo. The service was great & nice. I would recommend this place & would always come here again.

One of the best I've had in the local area of San Gabriel bakery and I love how it comes in a pizza box! How cool is that?

I Love Banh xeo (Vietnamese's pizza) here. It tastes the same as a local food in Vietnam. I think the price is a little expensive compared to other foods. One thing I don't like is they close too soon at 3pm. It's hard to buy it at around that time.

If you are looking for authentic delicious Banh Xeo, this is the place! They specialize in the Vietnamese crispy crepe stuffed with shrimp/pork/mushrooms/beansprout. They give you an abundance of leafy greens on the side too - to make sure you're getting enough daily fiber! I love the variety of mixed leafy greens (lettuce, mints, basils and many more). We normally order the Tom (shrimp), Thit (pork), Nam (mushroom), Trung (bean sprouts), Gia va Hanh Tay (eggs with onions). If I'm dining there, I also order the Banh Trang (rice paper) to roll everything up neatly before dipping it into the fish sauce. I've been going here for years for their banh xeo and so glad they are still around. The cashier was really nice and their to-go packaging is immaculate. One banh xeo order is enough portion for one person; however, it can be split into two if you are ordering something else. Please keep this place alive, there is no other better banh xeo place in the area.

Delish and on-spot every single time! Highly recommended! Hands down, the best banh xeo and duck noodle soup ice ever had (and I've tried many)!
Crispy from start to finish. I'd eat here to enjoy the best quality. I think my only reserve is that I wish I had cilantro. Even then, really nice people, no frills and worth the drive.

As the name of the restaurant indicates, you should 100% order the Banh Xeo. The Banh Xeo here is delicious!!! Crispy, crunchy crepe filled with fried shrimp, pork, mushrooms, onion, and plenty of bean sprouts! The dipping fish sauce perfectly complements the Banh Xeo after you have wrapped it in lettuce. Great service and we could hear the sizzling of the batter hitting the pan to make our crepe after we ordered. Came for lunch because they close at 3PM. Highly recommend checking this place out if you are craving an authentic Vietnamese classic executed perfectly well!

This is a hole in the wall Vietnamese restaurant that specializes in bánh xèo (Vietnamese crepe). Their menu is limited and I have not tried anything else except the bx. It is so good and so crunchy. And I like to wrap it in the lettuce and dip it in the fish sauce - yummy!

I only came here to try the banh xeo because friends who live in the area told me about this place. I must say this restaurant makes the best BX in town and better than any places down in Orange County. The crush is just perfect and crunchy. Everything is just right but not enough meat in my opinion. I would go here weekly if I live close by, sadly I am too far.They put the togo order in the small pizza box and the veggies are in a clear plastic bag which is so clever. For togo only you can buy 4 for $52.
