Bánh Xèo 46A on Postcard

"The air-conditioned room may be tempting, but the al fresco seating by the open kitchen promises the most authentic experience. For over seven decades, regulars have been returning for its huge Vietnamese signature crêpes stuffed with mung beans, bean sprouts, pork and shrimp. Pair with pulled chicken salad, as well as chargrilled meat and seafood, among which pork, beef, squid and prawns. Be sure to arrive well before closing time." - Michelin Inspector

Food came out at a good pace. Customer service was quick. I came during lunch so it wasn’t as busy as dinner. Their spring and summer rolls are super good. The banh xeo is HUGE! Definitely something you want to share. It’s filled with protein.

I can not give it a five star. It was not bad. It could have more filling of mung beans and spouts for the price point. The crepe was large but hollow. There were 6-7 shrimps and fatty meats which I removed and did not bother to eat! Stick with the shrimp rolls wrapped in rice paper!

Great place that's been in existence since the 1950s as a small hole in the wall of 3rd district, and also close to the well known French cathedral. The price point of this establishment is adjusted for inflation, especially in the last 4 years. Also, notice many tour guides bringing their guests here. Very crispy, delicious tasting crepe sandwiches ($6.75). Definitely better than what any place in the Midwest states can do. Therefore, good job to the restaurant, staff. Hay qua!

My first experience to taste this rice pancakes with shrimp and pork to be eaten with lettuce, Thai basil , coriander with dipping sauce. I enjoyed this experience , figuring it out to be famous and they have a Michelin star that they earned for year 2024, an unforgettable culinary adventure

One of the best Banh xeo i had. The better is puffy and crunchy that i dont think i can imitate at home. Service also great, they are very attentive and gave me extra vegetables the moment i ran out. A must try if you want some banh xeo.

Excellent Banh Xeo (note special was huge). We loved this place, recommended by a number of friends - such a great night, service was excellent and food was fantastic - the spring rolls also great. Everything super fresh, best atmosphere.

Really good Banh Xeo, one of the best we had in our trip in HCM. Recommend the banh xeo and the shrimp sugar cane. The spring rolls are a bit on the heavier side of taste. Not a lot of English speaking staff but all was sorted. It was a bit more expensive than expected. 5 fried spring roll, 5 fresh spring roll, 1 banh xeo, 1 shrimp sugar cane, coke, coffee, mineral water. Totals up to almost 500k which is restaurant pricing. But the banh xeo taste was good so I wouldn’t complain, the spring rolls are also quite big.

Around 70 year olds institution, michelin bib gourmand and Anthony Bourdain also tried it. It was pretty good. Tons of seating they have another building with air conditioning.
