I Found A Better Spot For Vietnamese Crepes 

I am Vietnamese and currently residing in Northern Virginia. I really enjoyed all of your shows. Your Vietnamese is amazing bro! Much love and respect.

That’s looks very good chef ‘ I’m going to Vietnam next week. I have to try it bánh xèo ‘ I from San Francisco area. We don’t have a bánh xèo I like that. Thanks for sharing 👍🇺🇸🇻🇳

the editing just keep getting better and better

peeled shrimps is A+++++++++++++++

hello Chad.you made me fell hungry, thanks for your show

you can find the middle style for 2.5-3 cents each in saigon, definitely is "must try" style, much smaller but crispier than the southern style

To see Anthony Bourdain still being mentioned now, is awesome. Man's a great chef all around and his visit to Vietnam definitely left a mark.

180k vnd for a single banh xeo? that banh xeo better make my day, do my taxes, tuck me in bed and kiss me goodnight cause it's overpriced af even for district 1.

Yoooo, that's good editing! There's definitely a hint of "Worth It" going on, and I love it. Keep doing this series!

Wow! Used to come here for Banh Xeo in the early 70’s (before the fall of Saigon - 1975!) Been away VN 45+ years, can’t believe it still exists!

8:29 Maybe it’s about the « Cống » minority ethnic group. 😅

I am still missing Anthony Bourdain. His friendly voice is so comforting. I always remember him saying, Vietnam grabs you and never lets you go -- R.I.P., sir.

The first place, the batter seems too thick and they drop a TON of beansprouts in one small area (gotta to spread it out for the perfect bite!) To me the batter has to be thin and crispy for maximum texture and flavor. The last place was really interesting and the use of the baby clams and rice paper for wrapping makes me think it's influenced by the Central region because don't they wrap everything in rice paper? LOL.

Banh xeo seems to be having a moment right now and this video really shows why. An all-time classic viet dish. Great stuff!

I flipping love eating banh xeo 🇻🇳 You should go try binh dinh style mate they are smaller and super delicious!

Another great video! I always liked bánh xèo in Vietnamese restaurants here in Seattle, but after I had it in Saigon I realized that I'd never really had bánh xèo... I never got to the places you visited but I kind of got hooked on a place more or less in "my" neighborhood, on Hẻm 335 off of Điện Biên Phủ, just west of the food street, Nguyễn Thượng Hiền. The constantly replenished pile of herbs had lots of unfamiliar plants in it; the most memorable was a crunchy narrow leaf with rounded ends, a bit curved crosswise, with a tart flavor. (Any idea?) I even learned to appreciate fish mint. Kind of (as long as it was just part of the mix). A far cry from the paltry little stack of romaine, basil and mint that you get at a restaurant in the US. The crepe was always really delicate and crispy.

i HATE DIEP CA TOO, if it touches other herbs I can smell it too. I am on HATE IT camp.

Controversial opinion: bánh xèo in central VN is better 😅 smaller crispier version in Danang with peanut sauce, super crispy version in Hue (bánh khoái), and more pale version sometimes with squid in Quảng Ngãi and Quy Nhơn

Shoutout to a nice editor. Looking forward for more content from you! Can you make a video of top places to eat in district 1, 2, 3 and so on? Or some more videos about famous places in Saigon that has been selling food for decades! Thanks and hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

No, not that touristy Bánh xèo. Try this place: Bánh xèo 335/2, 335/2 Đ. Điện Biên Phủ, Phường 4, Quận 3.

i literally got giddy with excitement when i saw a new upload. you are becoming my favorite creator on youtube, and you are absolutely killing it on here!!! looking forward to every new video you upload on here!

In nha Trang, there’s these small bank xeo with squid….find it. Best banh xeo in the world and it’s a long wait to get a table lol

Props to Mr Thang for including the laughing cuts at the end 😅

$8 for a banh xeo 😂... yea... ummm.. it's a trap... tourist trap

man! You make me homesick! I've been away from Vietnam (HCM) for almost 13 years now. Can't wait to be back to try all the spots you recommended! Been subscriber since the beginning! Keep up the good work Chef Chad!!!

At Banh Xeo 46A, they do charge about 60,000 more if they peel the shrimp for you (no tail, no shell, no legs, no head). I wonder if the other places you went will as easily do that. 46A serves a lot of foreigners so they're used to taking care of that. Places catering to locals are used to serving it with tails, shell and legs, so you'd have to make sure they'll do that for you. Me, no way will I eat shell, legs and tail. Sorry.

The legend of street food- Anthony Michael Bourdain. If he could live in Vietnam, I think he's still in with us until now... He loves Vietnam so much and Vietnam loves him too! Respect for him- Anthony Michael Bourdain!

Hey dude. I think “cống” is the equipment that make the bánh.

Banh xèo nhìn thèm ngon quá chúc anh ăn ngon miệng nhé

From the look and how well you described them, 3rd one for me as well (it seems to be a bit of central style w hến and no mung bean), 1st one looks too thick and overpriced.

Vietnamese banh xeo, none of the Asian Korean crepes or Japanese pancakes come even anywhere close to the type of dough use in banh xeo, makes it so delicious. Especially when you wrap it with salads and eat it with nuoc mam diluted sauce. At one time, I made it with 4 burners going at home. The right banh xeo does not have a pancake taste to it, suppose to be light and crispy.

3rd one is likely the best one. The first one IS a tourist trap. High priced and peeled shrimp??? WTF? the crunch and flavor of the shell of the shrimp matter as much as the batter. For me 3rd one would win for those 2 factors alone.

really miss bourdain's voice. great video... I also can't eat rao dap ca

RIP anthony bourdain , you will always be missed

banh xeo rau rung’s crispy secret is they added beer into their batter.

Cá nhân tôi came thấy Món Banh xèo tại cửa hàng này bán quá mắc so với mặt bằng chung. X4 lần thực tế của nó 😂 bạn nên thử những nơi khác. Ý của tôi chỉ là cửa hàng Thứ 1 trogn videos😅😂

The Banh Xeo is overrated and expensive. Batter was too thick throwing off the balance between crispyness of the shell and its filling. Had better Banh Xeo at the backpackers' foodcourt in D1, but unfortunately the old food court has been replaced with high end eateries and a night club.

banh cong ( cong is mean the one is around mental make to the cake may be ) love your video

46A is definitely not a tourist trap, and arguably has the best banh xeo. BUT, the price is 100% over-inflated thanks to its fame brought by Anthony. The average banh xeo shouldn't cost that much, even factoring in the filling

180k for 1 bánh xèo :O that s crazy! way too expensive for what it is

You should stay in Vietnam to live for the rest time of your life.

Hi Everyone!Chào mọi người❤👍

Most food reviewer missed him, Anthony!!!!

I love Anthony Bourdain. He inspired me to travel 😭

0:30 "Bánh xèo miền Tây" means "Southwestern style Vietnamese pancake"

Not bad :)

... hãy ăn rau có mùi chúng kích thích tiêu hoá cực mạnh! " Việt nam nơi lưu giữ những thứ đã mất của các quốc gia phát truyển, nơi không có một quy định trật tự cụ thể nào, lộn xộn, ồn ào.... nhưng là nơi tất cả tôn giáo, sắc tộc , màu da đều bình đẳng như nhau, và đặc biệt là nơi yêu chuộng hoà bình!"

I can never get tired of eating Banh Xeo.

Tôi nghĩ anh trai nên đến xã Kiến Giang huyện Chợ Mới tĩnh An Giang từ ngày 7-9 tháng 4 âm lịch để thưởng thức miễn phí các món ăn của người dân miền nam Việt Nam.

I was dissapointed with 46A. It was amazingly crispy but just lacked flavour. It just needed salt more than anything!

awesome

my favorite but no bean sprouts for me.

You got me craving for some banh xeo. My favorite is here in Orange County is at Quán Mii. It's comes with rice paper for wrapping. Its more on the crispy side and very tasty. Runner up would be the Banh Xeo at Thien An in Houston

Is it bad that I always eat like 4 Banh Xeo every time I eat them? LOL. I also hate that fish herb it's called Tiá Tô. Just watching your video I definitely would choose the 3rd one as well. For extra crispy add corn starch and you rest batter overnight the rested batter will separate to the thick batter and liquid watery top. You then do a 1 for 1 swap of the top water separation with sparkling/soda/carbonated water or beer.

Bourdain help a lot of people in Vietnam. Tired of these nobody going to Vietnam doing eating show. These nobody’s do this type of show cause it’s cheap. Damn home cooks comparing to Bourdain taste bud.

The best banh xeo should be Central style banh xeo. Southern style banh xeo is literally overrated. Too big and too soft. Hard to eat since it's a mess. The rice paper is either too hard and thick or become so wet. And the sauce lacks the sour flavor from vinegar. Just pure salty and sweet. Meanwhile the Central style is small enough to be rolled, stays crunchy till it reaches your mouth. The thin ricepaper is perfect to roll, no need to put into water. And the fish sauce is perfectly balanced between sour, salty and sweet. I can eat the dish everyday without getting sick of it.

Disrespecting Anthony Bourdain, for clicks…that’s a no no.

6:17 yeah, fish herb. The downfall of Vietnamese and Cambodian food. Everything else there is so delicious. That fish herb tastes like you are eating the trash after cleaning out an aquarium. It is the only thing I cannot stomach in SE Asia.

The quality of the video is crazy, man 🔥🔥🔥 straight fire, hope to see you in other cities soon. All the best to you and the crew ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥 and 3:09 looks wonderful indeed

Your videos have insane production value dude! Keep it up, I'm sure your channel will blow up in no time

Vietnamese "Taco" is a better word. Crunchy wrap, filling inside.

Shameless. Stop trying to use Bourdain's name to get clicks, the man's dead! Just focus on making good content.

I like you but I'm glad you are not the chief cook in my frequent order restaurants I'm a big fan of food hygiene. I know you don't believe in clean.

I dont why , but for me , the fish herb vegetable thing tastes and smells like shit to me. Not good , 0.5/10 not recommended

Completely relate to all the things you miss from home- been here for 3 years, don't know much Vietnamese

Well, I grew up from here and my old house just a few steps to this place ,, now is the second generation run over this bussiness.

"A little bit of jackhammering in the morning is good" sir that's how my daughter was made.

I love Banh Xeo Dinh Cong Trang!!!

Some people uses the same name of the restaurant without consents. Hoping to make profit off the name. So that is why many restaurants put that on the bill board (no branches)

actually first!

I am vietnamese and I remember seeing banhxeo that big when I was kid. since when banhxeo become smaller I wonder. =/

Not sure if I’m just getting old but the “sizzling” noise you get from cooking makes me so happy and hungry. Lol. 😂😂😂

14:20 the man behind you looks upset when you exposing their business

Bánh xèo từng ấy mà 180k =)))) đắt dữ ta

First video I’ve watched from your channel and I like how you explained our Banh Xeo. You’ve definitely done your research as well

I just wonder if the coffee sellers and chefs use tap water ,boiled water or purified water to make ice and when they cook food. please answer me.

I cook my banh xeo once and it stays crispy. The Man U use and the amount of oil I use matters

That spring roll and fresh spring roll is quite pricey

Hi from Can Tho. 🤗🇻🇳

Eat anywhere except Vietnamese restaurants, you won't need to look at the price

Definitely shouldn’t have watched this in the middle of the night.

Are you from Philly? Your accent sounds like home to me! ❤

Mountain banh xeo is probably the best and trickiest to find

The first banh xeo is pretty expensive for Vietnam's price

vietnamese food is the best , you make me homesick haha. Look forward to see your new videos

Eat your green that smell like fish. It tastes pretty good. You get used to it.

I could listen to AB describe anything

The best Banh Xeo is on Le Van Luong Street in D7......Quan Mien Trung is the name of it......they are the mini style Banh Xeo, not the big ones like this.....super crispy, hands down the best I have ever had after living here in HCMC for 7 years.

Too much oil Chad. Not enough love. Moms was the best!

Expensive...only 50 cents or $1.00 in Phnom Penh

The Filthy Frank moment at the end 😭 love you even more now hahaha

Any plan for the central part of Vietnam Chad ?

Some place there fish sauce is not good, that lead to taste of crepe is down
