Madam lau
Description
A family-run spot that locals actually eat at, which tells you everything. The pho is serious, the banh xeo are mandatory, and the prices are low enough that you’ll find yourself wandering back for a third meal in the same day (this is not hypothetical – reviewers do exactly this).
The setup is simple: outdoor seating, quick service, no fuss. When your banh xeo arrives, the staff will show you how to wrap everything in the accompanying leaves – pay attention, because doing it properly makes a real difference.
Card payments are accepted, but they add a 4% surcharge. Bring cash and skip the math.
