Xin Chao
Description
Xin Chao is the family-run spot in An Bang that locals and returning travelers lean on for straightforward Vietnamese cooking without fuss. It suits anyone staying nearby who wants an easy, friendly place to eat daily rather than hunt for something new each night. Families with kids do well here, as the owners keep things relaxed and accommodating even when the heat is brutal.
Stick to the classics: grilled squid, banh xeo, pineapple fried rice, shrimp spring rolls, and the chicken with honey and garlic. The pho bo is generally tasty and mild, so you add your own chili and herbs to taste, though on an off night the broth can lean toward the bagged variety rather than a long simmer. Fresh coconut and fresh juices are worth ordering alongside a meal. It’s open every day of the week, sits across the road from several An Bang hotels, and works well for both lunch and dinner without much of a wait.
This isn’t fine dining and it doesn’t try to be – it’s a quiet street restaurant doing simple food well, and that’s exactly the appeal. Skip it if you want bold, punchy flavors, since a few dishes come out on the bland side. Go on a quieter afternoon or early evening if you want the full attention of the staff.
