THIS SPOT IS SOOO GOOD AND WORTH THE HYPE 1000%! Ordered the Banh Xeo Spring Rolls, #1 Banh Canh Nam Pho (spicy udon soup with shrimp cake and pork), #5 Banh Canh Cua Dac Biet (specialty udon soup with crab, shrimp, and pork) and a side order of the Gio Chao Quay (chinese donut). Total was about $52 before tip which was a fantastic amount of food for two people. Banh Xeo Spring Rolls were really good! The rice paper they use is insanely chewy in the best way and the flavor of the banh xeo is heavier on the coconut and tumeric which I appreciated. Fish sauce was good too. I'd get it again but keep in mind it's $12.95 for just two spring rolls. Eat them right when it gets to your table to enjoy it as crispy as possible! The noodles here are insanely chewy, not overcooked and soaks up the slightly thick broth so perfectly. The bowls also come out PIPING hot so you KNOW it was cooked fresh. The #1 Banh Canh Nam Pho (spicy udon soup with shrimp cake and pork) is ACTUALLY SPICY! This will most definitely have your nose running but in the best way possible. The shrimp cakes were super tender balls of shrimp that were fried golden on the outside but still had a nice plump texture on the inside. The #1 also comes with two pieces of large shrimp that were bouncy and so delicious! I'm not a fan of seafood so this bowl was perfect, I would ask for extra lemon next time though to try to mellow out the spiciness. The difference between the #5 Banh Canh Cua Dac Biet (specialty udon soup with crab, shrimp, and pork and the #6 Banh Canh 3 Mien is that the #6 is a larger portion of the #5. This most definitely has that crabby taste, but it isn't muddled whatsoever and was incorporated into the broth perfectly. This also has fish cakes inside! Definitely order a side of the Gio Chao Quay (chinese donuts), so you can let them get soggy in your soup to soak up all that delicious broth. Super clean inside, service was good. Super authentic food, already looking forward to my next visit!

We went there a little late, around 7:30 p.m., and at first we were kinda worried they might be annoyed with late customers (iykyk 😭). But nope, they were sooo welcoming!! They even recommended dishes for us to eat before our drive back home, which was so thoughtful. We’re not from the Bay, so it honestly meant a lot to be treated that nicely. We got banh canh cha ca and banh canh cua dac biet, and the food was sooo good!! The fish cake actually tasted like real fish (not floury at all, which I loved). The portions were big too, definitely enough to fill us up and fuel the drive home. The lady owner and the lady server were both super friendly, which made the whole experience even more memorable :) I’ll definitely come back and recommend it to more of my friends!!

THE best spot for rare vietnamese udon aka banh canh. And one of the few noodle soup spots where each slurp conjures up magical unicorns and stars in my mouth. Faves: #5 specialty udon soup with crab, shrimp, and pork (I ask for just crab and shrimp) #10: specialty nha trang udon soup with fish cake Instagram: TianTianEats

One of our comfortable food spot, especially when no one is open in the afternoon. No 6 is just a bigger portion of no 5. The soup is thick but warm. Full of flavor. The only downside is probably yes you can see there are crab meats but no, you probably won’t be able to taste them anyway but the soup is strong flavored. Make sure you add Chinese donut to it too. We also love the hot crepe roll during the weekend. Perfect between the crunchiness, favor, and freshness. Cash only. Tips are appreciated.
