Bếp Mẹ Ỉn Lê Thánh Tôn

Excellent extra large banh xeo lettuce wrap style. Had the banh xeo thom thit 139k vnd. The taste was great, shell was crispy. Higher price due to size, michelin bib gourmand status, and location is tourist area. Overall 5/5 even though I prefer rice paper wrap banh xeo.

Located in small alley, owned super attractive Vietnam theme which served local Vietnamese cuisine. Friendly staff here communicate in English with no issue, superb food that should make a visit at here. Might take some time to wait for your turn, as super crowded any time i reached after lunch time as well) and small space which easily filled with customers. Found out most of customer was Koreans, i think might super famous for this restaurant among Koreans. Will make my next visit !

Street food. Felt tweaked to suit the foreigner palate. Average at best. A big plus point would be fresh vegetables. Home made Vietnamese drinks were unavailable. As well as any desserts.

We came here around 12:15pm and sat down right away near the entrance. The put the tables next to each other, so essentially you can overhear anything what other guests are saying. After 30 minutes of waiting, one of the waitresses noticed us and apologized for missing our orders and asked us to reorder. We got two complimentary iced jasmine green tea for the inconvenience. Our food came right after, which was one bun xeo (pancake) and a beef skewer. The food was delicious, but it was our first time eating this kind of food in Vietnam, so there's nothing to compare with. The Korean tourists sitting next to us were saying the food tasted good nonstop. As far as I can see, it's super popular among Korean tourists as most of the customers were Korean when I was eating there. The two dishes came up to be 378k, which is considered high in Vietnam. I thought the food was good, but it was hot eating there without an AC.

We did enjoy dining here. The food was great with generous portion of food and leaves. This is a must visit when you want try local Vietnamese cusine! But giving it a 4 star only because the chopsticks were not washed properly and got smell.
