2023-09-06 19:07:26I 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 its 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!

2023-03-01 04:57:17I found this place from a Google review! I had to try the crispy fried crepe they are known for. When I stepped in I was greeted by one of the owners, a woman, who asked me if Id been there before. I told her that it was my first time. She informed me that they are famous for the Banh Xeo, which are the fried crepes. I ordered the first one on the menu, which comes with shrimp, pork, mushrooms, beansprouts, eggs and onion all sautéed into what looks like an omelette; the crunchy crust is colored by the turmeric. She told me the proper way to eat them: you eat them with your hands. Start with a leaf of lettuce, add some mint leaves, then some of the banh xeo, then some vinegar sauce. If you like it spicy, add some chili sauce too. It was fantastic. It was like comfort food but not too heavy. I ate all of it, every bite, and left feeling great! Comfort food you can overeat! They offer tea, boba, and vietnamese coffee.I loved the ambiance. There was quite a few happy customers in but still the service was attentive and fast! I felt very welcome here and I enjoyed the conversation with the friendly owners. They do take credit cards. FYI the owners are taking a month off for a late New Year celebration and the place will be closed Feb 19, 2023 to March 19, 2023. Mark your calendar for March 20 and try the Banh Xeo!

2022-11-24 04:09:26Quality food and service ! Such a welcoming and cozy environment. Staff is kind and attentive. We had their signature savory crepe, tomato rice hen and their duck egg noodle soup. So satisfying, tasty and refreshing. I love their ice,I feel like it compliments the drinks. Must go to in SGV . Hidden Gem .

2021-03-22 04:15:34Run don’t walk! Got the pork and shrimp banh xeo and the owners and staff were so friendly and helpful. The crepe was crispy, and we ate it in the to go box in our car. Wow! I’ve had this dish at a lot of places in OC and SGV and this one is great, and not one to miss.Also, this business is totally the type you wanna support. Good people deserve our support!!! Plus incredible food, so cmon!A few years ago they shot a Steve Carrell film here, and the owner told us some great stories about him. If they aren’t busy, maybe she’ll share the stories with you too?;)

2018-12-23 11:28:22Menu here is not as big as other Vietnamese restaurants but what they serve is quite good. Crispy pancakes are very good and also the hotpot set served on a gel burner is a good deal. A portion of herbs and vegetables for making wraps are provided for each dish. Owner is very friendly and helpful in explaining the dishes.

2021-07-17 18:43:54Banh Xeo Special... Get 4 for only $46. The banh Xeo here has a really nice skin, but Ive never had it made with mushrooms. Its not bad, just different.

2022-01-08 21:53:29Brought Mom here for lunch and it was a lot of fun. The food is so different from everything else in Los Angeles. I had the dry noodle plate and she had the crepe. I will definitely come back again! I hope this place never closes or moves. To the restaurant, thank you and we wish you a HAPPY 2022!!

2021-08-11 03:04:14The famous crepe was very very crispy and combination of bean sprouts, shrimp and pork along with fresh fragrant herbs and sweet sauce was very delicious! The gentleman who served the food and the lady who greeted were so friendly and kind. Small place with limited dining but the whole vibe felt like we were transported to Asia :)Want to try their new item, duck porridge, next time!
