Bánh Cuốn Nóng Kim Thoa

Cheap, quick, hot, authentic Bánh cuốn. For any Anthony Bordain fan, this place is a must visit in Hanoi. In my opinion, out of all food houses introduced in the show, this is the only one that successfully preserved the authenticity. And remembering that the show was on TV in 2011, an applause for the owners. Note that there is not many parking lots, so walk or book a bike ride.

This was one of the best meals I’ve had in Vietnam! There’s no menu, but that’s part of the experience—each dish is cooked right in front of you (if you sit at the right table) The sweet and welcoming owner guided me through every dish, showing me exactly how to eat it, what spices to add and what to dip it in. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine literally just across the street from Old Quarter

Perfectly made and cooked. We were a bit worried that there wasn't a price posted, but we saw some of the reviews earlier mention the price and we were charged the same amount (40,000 for one plate) which was nice to see. The banh cuon was delicious, freshly made, and the filling was generous too.

Good snack to eat. The seller is a very nice and kind lady with full of smile. The soup is uniquely delicious and you won’t find it anywhere else outside Vietnam I think. It’s totally a traditional food of Vietnam / Hanoi, so you will feel like a local when you eat here.

The lady making the pancakes was very nice and showed us how we should eat them. The dipping sauce was absolutely delicious and every pancake was made fresh in front of us. One of my favourite street foods in hanoi

They only make one dish, which I love. Authentic. The man taught us how to eat it through signs. It was delicious. The woman is also nice and smiling. We liked the location too, a bit out of the way from the touristy part of Hanoi. We were the only foreigners there.

Yes, this where Bourdain ate. They serve just one dish - pancakes with a soup. Such a simple thing, yet so delicious! Highly recommend if you're looking for a local and authentic experience.

Have been here numerous times; the owner is so kind and remembered me after each visit. I highly recommend this place to anyone who travels to Hanoi, her smile and genuine kindness are enough reason to return...but the Banh Cuon is absolutely delicious. Try an egg, too!
