"A no-frills, family-run institution, Banh Xeo 46A is the go-to place for one of southern Vietnam's most cherished culinary creations: banh xeo - a crispy pancake made with rice flour, coconut milk, and a smidgen of turmeric, and filled with bean sprouts, onion, shrimp, and pork."

Lonely Planet

"This renowned spot serves some of the best banh xeo in town. These Vietnamese rice-flour pancakes stuffed with bean sprouts, prawns and pork (vegetarian versions available) are legendary."

Robert Upe

"Banh xeo 46A is the place to try the Vietnamese savoury pancakes called banh xeo."

Jodi Ettenberg

"There are many recommendations in town for banh xeo, most famously Banh Xeo 46A, which is on the ‘Bourdain trail’ (he visited the place during his Saigon episode). Banh xeo, crispy and delicious."

Heidi Apples

"It was lovely. A beautifully crisp and super light pancake, filled with with bright, bursting prawns, corn kernals and bean shoots. The soft yellow tinge to the pancake (thanks to the tumeric) was particularly pleasing, aesthetically."

Austin Bush

"I reckon Bánh Xèo 46A do the best version of the dish I’ve had. The dish here is pleasantly eggy, hearty and relatively thick. The filling was also slightly different than bánh xèo I’ve had previously, and in addition to the usual shrimp, sliced shallots and bean sprouts, included thin slices of fatty pork belly."

Angela Schonberg

"The most popular spot in HCMC to get banh xeo is from the aptly named and famous Banh Xeo 46A in District 3, down an alley off Dinh Cong Trang. A good place to try your first — tours also frequent it."

Miso Peckish

"The Banh Xeo is not as oily as other places and has a lot of fillings which include pork, prawn and bean sprouts. The pancake itself was nice and crunchy."

Benjamin Hoffman

"This little street has several other good Bánh Xèo places but none of them match the 46A."

Luc Gougeon

"The banh xeo itself was crunchy, burning hot and served with fresh lettuce and herbs. Simple and delicious!"
