Bánh Xèo Gạo
Description
This is the spot near An Bang Beach for proper Vietnamese pancakes done well, and it suits anyone who wants a sit-down version of banh xeo rather than a street-stall grab. The pancakes come out crispy on the outside, generously filled with shrimp and pork or beef and seafood, and arrive on a big platter meant for wrapping in rice paper with fresh herbs and sprouts. It’s air-conditioned inside with large glass doors that keep the mosquitos and street noise out, which makes it a comfortable stop after a hot morning on the sand.
Order the Bánh Xèo Tôm Thịt for the classic shrimp and pork version, or the Banh Xeo Chay if you want a vegetarian take – both are favorites here. Banh mi and chicken skewers are also on the menu and worth trying if you want something lighter. The restaurant takes credit cards with no extra fee, which is a nice change from the cash-only norm around the beach area. Expect it to get busy around lunch, and with families or larger groups the kitchen can be slow since there’s often just one cook plating one order at a time.
The mango juice deserves a mention too, it’s a strong pairing with the pancakes. Skip it if you’re in a rush or traveling with a big group who all want to eat together, since dishes come out one at a time and the wait can stretch past 30 minutes at busier hours.
