“ Wow!!!! the banh cuon I can say it's the best in San Diego ”
“ One of the best banh cuon in San Diego! The menu options are straight forward just banh cuon, the topping options and 2-3 different kinds of soup limited time only, until they run out or if they even make it for that day. The place is not fancy, so just eat and go or take to go. They have party trays too, just call in advance. ”

“ A hole in the wall kinda place. Food is always fresh made and delicious. Owners are nice and friendly. This is one of my favorite place to go for Banh Cuon or Bun Rieu. ”
“ Authentic Vietnamese place serving only 4 dishes. But if you like made to order banh cuon (steamed rice rolls), cha lua (steamed pork loaf), or best of all, gio chien (fried pork paste), you really won’t be disappointed. These simple items are much better than what’s available elsewhere because of the ingredients and because of their freshness. Yum! Note: You can reheat the fried pork paste in an air fryer at home and it still tastes good, but when it just comes out, the smell of it is so irresistible! ”
“ My favorite banh cuon place. Love the meat that come with it. Always go for the Dac biet banh cuon. The bun rieu is ok, but I’ve had better else where in San Diego. I also would recommend the fried pork roll to take home. They sell those in the front. Taste great in bread when sliced, like a Vietnamese banh mi. ”
“ We happened to see this restaurant when go shopping for the first time at Vien Dong Super Market. So we decided to come in and buy some food to go. We are very happy with the friendly customer service. We ordered "bun rieu" and "banh uoc". Very traditional Vietnamese food. Very large portions and great taste. Because we ordered 4 items they even gave us a plastic tray to carry out and put on our car for free. Very nice place to come back. ”
“ Mix banh cuon banh uot is amazing and really affordable. The owner she is really nice! ”
