A wonderful family-owned restaurant with the nicest aunty and uncle running the place. Great service and our food comes out fast. It's a hole in the wall place but they keep it very clean. Their banh beo chen is my favorite, and the banh hoi combo is also excellent. Prices are fair, and the food is truly authentic Vietnamese. This area doesn't get enough support, and they're doing their best to keep going--I really want to see them thrive!

Family owned restaurant with casual ambiance seating. Food is great quality all around. Sugarcane juice is freshly pressed and the thit nuong (grilled meat/pork) is especially good. Highly recommend this gem to anyone in the area.

The food and value here outweigh what's going on out side by a mile. I got the bun thit nuong and it was delicious! I really can't overstate this I think it is my favorite in the city right now. It's definitely a bit of a hole in the wall vibe, but it's everything you would want from that. Good food and low prices. Give this place a try.

I almost don't want to review this place because I wanna gate-keep. The vermicelli noodle bowl with barbecued pork is excellent. It is a generous pile of meat on top of fresh noodles and veggies, lettuce, and herbs. You cannot find a more perfect summer day meal.

The food here was so good at such a great price! I had the vermicelli with pork skewers and the meat was seasoned so well! The sauce that came with the noodles was so fresh tasting and it filled me up without making me feel heavy! I came here with a friend and the owner was very nice, even though there was a limited staff he still made sure we were taken care of! The interior is very nice looking and clean, and overall a great spot to hang out! I'll come here on my next visit to Little Saigon!

Unassuming Vietnamese restaurant in little Saigon. Has a little parking lot and some street parking. I parked in a nearby lot across the street from pho bac which was convenient. I'm not sure if I was allowed to, but nothing happened at least lol I ordered banh beo and chao long. The banh beo dough was thicker than I'm used to, but nice and chewy which was nice. The dried shrimp and pork toppings were super flavorful, and as always, the fish sauce is the most perfect topping. Chao long (congee and duck) was super flavorful as well. The congee was pretty watery, but had really good umami flavor. The poached duck didn't have a ton of meat, but it was still nice and tender. Dipping it in the fish sauce is even better. Overall, would definitely come again! The restaurant is a little on the dirtier side? Everything felt a little sticky.. but the people were nice and efficient, food was delicious, and the price to portion size ratio is amazing.

Food was pretty decent and service was great! Staff were attentive and fast. The man who seated my friend and I took our order made sure we had all the condiments we'd need. He was friendly and made us feel very welcomed. We caught him during his early dinner and observed him stopping to serve customers multiple times including us. We had the Bun Bo Hue (BBH) and spring rolls. The portions were generous, they did not skimp out on the protein in the spring rolls. The BBH came out piping hot, however, my friend and I did agree the soup could've used a bit more flavor but we still enjoyed it! For two bowls of BBH and spring rolls we paid about $42 including tip, which we thought was more than fair! Definitely would visit again to try other dishes!

Before going back to San Diego, I wanted to find a restaurant that had banh beo to eat with my boyfriend. And we found a place in Little Saigon! It's located next to Ebisu Bento and Pho So 1 in the Ding How Center on S Jackson St in Little Saigon. There is a small parking lot with narrow stalls. Very narrow stalls. Be careful when parking and exiting/entering your cars! My boyfriend and I ordered quite a bit of food. Besides Banh Beo Chen, I also noticed they had Banh Bot Loc! SO EXCITED. So of course, we order those two as appetizers. The banh bot loc had a nice mochi bounciness but without much protein. I felt like there wasn't much shrimp and pork in it. There was more "skin" than anything. The fish sauce made it delicious tho! The banh beo chen was really good! So much flavor in this dish with a lot of proteins and the fish sauce amplified the flavor. Sooooo good. It wasn't in a sauce dish like the traditional way but portion-wise, there was a lot more in one dish/saucer compared to other restaurants. I got their Bun Bo Hue. It was not a favorite of mine. There wasn't much flavor in the dish. It didn't have much of the "hearty" flavor that I'm used to. However, there was lots of protein. A lot more than I expected which made it a little better. My boyfriend got their Mi Quang soup noodle dish. It was both our first time trying it soup noodle dish. It had a sweetish flavor with wide egg noodles. It was quite good; maybe a bit sweeter than I liked (not a bad thing). Quite impressed by the flavor balance in this dish. The shrimp and pork gave the soup a really nice umami, salty flavor balancing the sweetness of the broth. Overall, small hole-in-the-wall restaurant that definitely deserves a little more praise! They serve different soup noodle dishes outside of pho and also rice dishes.

An usually sunny, warm April day seemed like the perfect excuse to have an adventure in areas I don't typically frequent, and Huong Binh was the perfect place to end up! I love when I end up at restaurants where I've never heard of the dishes being offered. We had to take advantage of this and ordered the following: - Banh Beo Chen: This is described on the menu as "steamed rice pancakes", but I'd really say texturally it's more of a cross between a rice cake and a jelly. I love all things savory and this did the trick! The fish sauce that accompanied it was also delicious and delivered a kick I was not anticipating! - Banh Hoi Thap Cam: This was delicious! Both the pork meatball and grilled pork were absolutely exceptional truly stood out. I've honestly never met a ground shrimp on sugar cane I didn't love, and Huong Binh's was the same. My least favorite was the shrimp, but only if you pressed me to nitpick. Really, it's a slam dunk all around, the pork is just what really shines. I also loved that all of the accompanying veggies were very fresh. - Com Tam Bi Suon Cha Huong Binh: The pork chop was perfect, albeit a bit too high on the bone to meat ratio (but def no fault of the place, just the nature of the cut). The egg meatleaf was also super unique and yummy! Honestly everything we ate here was absolutely fantastic, and all three dishes were things we would love to re-order.
