"A better version can be found at the newer Banh Xeo An La Ghien. Its crisp, lacy edges break off with a satisfying crackle, complementing the moist and savory fillings. The key elements, however, are the pile of fresh herbs to tuck inside the crêpe and the giant mustard leaves to wrap the thing in."

"Enjoying rolling your own meal? Head to this local joint for lipsmackingly authentic banh xeo pancakes: grab some rice paper and make an envelope with a shrimp or beef pancake, salad leaves, green mango, sliced cucumber and a dash of chilli sauce, and savour the flavour."

"Mrs. Muoi Xiem’s restaurant now ranks among the most well known in Saigon. So if you are looking for a more adventurous spin to “Banh xeo”, this is a place you’ll not want to miss."

Good local dish, nice extras to make it even more interesting (rice paper, pineapple, secret sauce), excellent service.

"Kebaya Ban Xeo had the appearance of Mexican fish tacos. Crispy folded wafers brimmed with shredded chicken, juicy bean sprouts, crispy tofu, dried shrimp and stir-fried vegetables. A tamarind sauce added the finishing tang to these beauties."
