A small mom and pop-like ran restaurant with about six tables and 6-7 food options. There’s a notepad outside where you can add your name and number of guests onto while you wait. With it being small, the wait can get lengthy.
You should already know what you want to order upon seating, as they’ll be ready to take your order right when the menus are placed on the table. There’s a menu taped on the window for your viewing while you wait, too.
We ordered two banh khots, one with meat and the other with shrimp, and one bot chien. They took a while to arrive to the table, and one after another. The banh khots were thin and crispy, served with a plate of fresh herbs and nuoc cham to compliment them. I liked how crispy they were but flavors lacked for my liking. As for the bot chien, it was extremely disappointing. Not only did it not look appetizing but it wasn’t good either. Over fried with egg shells present. Definitely waste of money for that dish.
Service was pretty much nonexistent, too. You’d have to try and wave someone down for some assistance, as needed. 3% service charge if using a credit card to pay and no AMEX. So of course, they prefer cash if possibly. Overall, not worth the wait for me.

I got the banh khot tom and they were so gooood! Light and crispy, goes so well with the sweet and sour fish sauce, remember me of the banh khot I had in Vung Tau a long time ago. A reminder to tell the cashier how much you want to tip as they can only add it before coming to the total bill, unless you do it in cash.

Tiny quaint restaurant. Service is slow, and there was a bit of a wait. They were really nice but customer service isn’t their forte. They accept credit card, Zelle and cash. Only 5 items on their menu, and we ordered one of each dish (except not the fried rice with shrimp). It was good but didn’t exceed my expectations. I did really like their fried chicken wings- yes they were tiny but delicious! And the sauce was good too! The banh khot was nice and crispy, but done differently than what I was used to. I prefer more filling and it was just okay in my honest opinion… I loved the bot chien, though! It’s a must.. there was purple potato/yam? In it… And they also have papaya salad with our meal.

It doesn’t compare to the competing banh khot places. The service is slow, the atmosphere is lacking, no music, and absolutely don’t get the fried taro thing. It’s a small mom and pop shop but they need improvement.

12 per dish? Great value. Personally taro dish isn’t that great unless you like taro. Everything else is great, Banh Khot is crispy. Fried chicken is very crispy and even more flavorful inside. Fried rice is amazing! And I’m not easily impressed by fried rices!
Update: Round 2 – passion fruit drink is good, the chicken was not overly fried this time and the flavor was even more excellent. Fried rice and banh khot are FIRE. Lots of viet cliente, this place is authentic/legit!!!

I went to this restaurant for lunch and enjoyed the food. I ordered the Bánh Khọt, which I had also tried in Vũng Tàu during my trip to Vietnam. Compared to the one I had in Vũng Tàu, I would say the Bánh Khọt here is very similar. The only difference is that the ones here weren’t as warm as the ones in Vũng Tàu. The shrimp were fresh and tender, and there were plenty of vegetables in the dish. The fish sauce was perfectly balanced. The restaurant is small and a bit old looking/design, but it’s clean, parking is easy to find, and has very simple menu. I also appreciated seeing elderly servers working, as it’s great that they support older people in earning money at their age. I’ll definitely return to try their Hủ Tiếu.

Of the various hole in the walls, this restaurant specializes in what’s in the title, Banh Khot. The Bánh Khot was crispy and delicious. It definitely was crowded and the food came out fairly fast. Will come again to try the other dishes and hopefully get a table pretty quickly.

Slightly tight space but otherwise fantastic. They have real Hu Tieu noodles, not the My Tho glass noodle or Pho noodles. The real one. Banh Khot is fantastic and their sauce is great. Really lovely place, highly recommend.

10:12 am Sun/8 Oct. They give tons of fresh veggies and the (in-house?) ground chili they provide to add to the fish sauce is nice. Small menu so easy to decide what to order.
