If you're craving banh xeo, this place lives up to the name. The banh xeo comes out hot, crispy, and packed with flavor. Wrap it in the fresh herbs and lettuce, dip it in the fish sauce, and you're set. Portions are generous, ingredients taste fresh, and the crunch on the crepe is exactly what you're hoping for. The menu has plenty of other Vietnamese favorites, but it's hard not to order the banh xeo when that's literally what they do best. A solid East San Jose spot when you want authentic Vietnamese comfort food. read more

Had a friend bring me to Banh Xeo Ngon! I think I've had it before, but first time for a place that specialized in it! We ordered: BX dac biet 17.50 ea banh khot 13.99 I would have preferred more toppings/meat inside the Banh Xeo. The fresh veggies were nice. I think I did prefer the Banh Khot more because it had more carbs / substance. The food is quite light with the greens. Parking in this plaza is an absolute nightmare. Best to park down the street and just walk over. read more

Banh Xeos are a popular dish in Vietnamese cuisine, combing the crepe like style filled with veggies and meat. If it's something you're craving, this is the spot! It is located in Silver Creek Plaza, at the very corner. There's both inside and outdoor seating. The Banh Xeo is a large plate, so definitely getting your portions worth and will be filled. It comes with greens on the side and of course, nuoc Cham (fish sauce). Recommend eating the banh xeo wrapped in lettuce. It adds to the experience and taste. read more

Man it's been 6 years since I've come back. I had a random craving for banh xeo n thought this place. I dunno if I had built it up in my mind too much or something but when I came back it just wasn't as good. The fillings seemed really sparse. The style was the same tho a very thin shell which I do like. This time I got the specific pandan flavored banh xeo but couldn't taste the flavor maybe the original tamarind flavor is where it's at. I'll prob give it another chance when I get the craving again. Got the bun rieu, pho, and an order of egg rolls as well. They were ok. read more

We go here whenever we crave a crispy Vietnamese crepe. It's good overall but they are a little heavy on the bean sprout and less on the protein. I would recommend to add extra meat for better quality. Service is pretty fast. Besides the crepe, everything else is kinda mehh. read more

If you are following, I have been reuniting with ALL of my life long friends! My New Year's resolution. What an experience. Quality/Quantity - This place is known for their crepes, hence the name of the business. Cut and pasted from the internet: "Bánh Xèo (pronounced "bahn SAY-oh") is a popular Vietnamese savory crepe, also known as "sizzling cake" due to the sound the batter makes when it hits the hot pan." "To eat Bánh Xèo, tear off a piece, wrap it in lettuce and fresh herbs, and dip it in Vietnamese dipping sauce (Nước Chấm)." Well today's guest is on a HUGE health kick. This is his favorite restaurant, we actually come here EVERY time I visit him, lol. Basically like eating a plate of veggies. Today we got two crepes. Mine with pork, shrimp, and squid and his with beef, shrimp, and squid. Not much protein as mentioned above. But fresh and healthy. After dinner, we went back to the house to drink and hang out. We forgot to buy snacks; I left his house starving!! Good thing my wife saved half a sandwich from Duc Huong Sandwiches from earlier today. I scarfed that down! Atmosphere - Small local business. Plenty of mall parking. Open 7 days a week from 10am to 8pm. Service - Just okay. Not very personable. The waitress (owner?) did not say one word to us. When asking for a fork or anything else, she never responded?!?! But she did bring everything that we asked for to us. Interesting... Price - $38 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2014; we have been customers since then. Especially since this is my buddy's favorite crepe restaurant. read more

No frill, solid vietnamese food. Get the banh xeo- it was good and served with lettuce, perilla leaf, mint, etc. We also had the spring roll, egg roll, hainan chicken and the mini pancakes an all of them were pretty good. Highlight was still the banh xeo. The outdoor patio was cute and could accommodate larger groups. Service was busy and mediocre at best. read more

Been here many, times since my first review. I've come to really enjoy the crepe dish. And I've never seen it anywhere else. Perhaps they could add a tad more meat ands less bean sprouts to improve the dish. But I still feel healthy eating the huge lattice and veggies basket that comes with it. Spring rolls are ok, Shaking beef of very good but pricey. Pho hits the spot but it's not legendary. But I added a star to make it 4. The service is quick, just know the waitress' English is pretty poor. They like to push drinks in you too. Food s out relatively quick. Order at the table and get up and pay at the counter type of place. read more

My favorite place to get bánh xèo! They get it so perfectly thin and crispy and I love the options for fillings. I usually get the squid, shrimp, and mushrooms, but my boyfriend gets the pork, shrimp, and squid which is #1 on their menu. The service is great here too. read more

Banh Xeo Ngon - bánh xèo - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Located on the far corner inside a strip mall (with mostly Vietnamese restaurant and an exotic food and a matcha hot spot), there is ample parking Not your typical Pho place (though they have it) but they're known for their Banh Xeo (felt more like a build your own Banh Xeo). Very crispy and tasty that brings back memories of the time in Vietnam. Another flavorful is their duck salad. Their spring rolls are good but it can be a filler. I suggest go straight for the Banh Xeo and Banh Kot and get an order of their beef porridge. read more

I loveeee banh xeo and this is place specializes in it. It is kind of pricey for the amount you get because I wasn't fully full, but hey this plaza is full of boba shops to satisfy my needs. The veggies here are always fresh and taste of the banh xeo is yummy. I just wished the banh xeo was bigger or had more protein filling because there was a lot of bean sprouts. I also got to try the flan here which was pretty good because of the coffee flavor in the caramelized syrup. This was a nice treat and I would get this again. The only thing I wouldn't get again is the banh khot. It's not bad, but for the price and other competitors, I think its okay. read more

Banh Xeo Ngon - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

This place is #1 to have one of those rainy days craving. Banh Xèo created with a crisp flaky batter, wonder if they put beer in it. A family member does that I know of. You'll get a heap of veggies and if you know you know! Use your hands of course and place your veggies then a piece of your banh xèo and dip it in the fish sauce, add some hot sauce in it too. The bean sprouts are cooked and I like it that way. Today was my son's first time eating it, he's picky so it was this or a rice plate. Service is up to par. The ladies here take your order by memory. Just the four of us and she repeated the order in English. Amazing. It's always crowded here, either home made or come out here to give it a try. Just one side note since we were finishing up as they were cleaning. I want to minus one start but their food is good. The minus one star is don't mop the floor while you still have customers eating, the bleach is gonna harm everyone inside. Just wait till your customers clear the restaurant. Being in health care myself, it's harmful to inhale and it's a slip hazard which I did see a gentleman almost slipped as he was waiting for the restroom. Slippery and the smell of bleach don't go hand in hand at all. That's all I've got to add for now. read more

Banh Xeo Ngon - Chicken and shrimp - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Very bad customer service. My friends took me here to celebrate my birthday lunch. We ordered Bánh Xèo and Bánh Khọt, and the dish of lettuce ran out before we could finish our food. We politely asked for extra lettuce, and the server paused and said, "Looks like you still have some left." It was disappointing and made us feel uncomfortable, especially during a birthday celebration. A little kindness and better customer service would have made a big difference. read more

Randomly decided to try this spot to eat banh xeo in san jose. We got the one with shrimp, pork, and squid. But the skin was a little bit soft and slightly wet, not very crispy. Also they gave us very little lettuce and it was super wet. It's alright overall, but seems like you can find better banh xeo elsewhere read more

This place needs more love. I give 5 star for consistency with their Banh Xeo and their surprisingly tasty bun Bo hue (bbh). This plaza has several spots for bbh, but I think this is one of the better ones. I've already raved about their Banh Xeo and I stand by my words years later. If anything, they could refill my water and their landlord to clean the stinky trash. Other than that, this is my go to Vietnamese savory crepe place. read more

Woah! So many options for banh xeo!! I have never seen so many. I did get the beef and shrimp one. It was good, oh, and the mound of veggies it came with was phenomenally good and fresh! Mint, lettuce, and giant leaves! It was straightforward, and they take contactless payments too - perfect! There were already lots of people eating there for early meals. There is plenty of parking. read more

The most authentic Vietnamese restaurant anywhere in the USA!! We drive over 100 miles just to eat here. The Banh Xeo is an omelette style meal with some of the best ingredients found in the South Bay Area. A must visit place if you like Vietnamese food. The area where the restaurant is located is nick named "little Saigon" and their menu is extensive and varied with favorites. We are often the only ones who are or Vietnamese decent! Amazing food and friendly people who have been serving there traditional dishes. Visit the restaurant and see what the rage is for this place. read more

Their banh xeo is crispy, flavorful, and packed with fresh ingredients, just like my mama's cooking--and we all know mama's cooking is the best! Each bite took me back to the comforting, authentic flavors I grew up with. The dipping sauce was spot-on, and the cozy atmosphere, combined with the friendly staff, made the experience even better. If you're looking for a place that serves up authentic Vietnamese flavors with a home-cooked feel, this is it! read more

They specialize in banh xeo so if I'm craving this dish, it's the only place I'll go! You can create your own by choosing the proteins. Very thin and crispy. Comes with an abundance of greens. The banh khot is also very good. The downside is the parking lot is terrible and there is no AC in here so it's a literal sweat box. Service is hit or miss. But food comes out quickly. Credit cards are accepted. read more

Corner restaurant within a plaza with parking. This is one of the plaza that is always hard to find a parking spot. Always packed on weekends. Ordered the Bánh Xeo with pork and shrimp. It comes with veggies fixings and side dipping sauce. It was very crispy and delicious. Duck noodles soup with a side cabbage salad. Duck is tender and good but noodles is very plain. Shaking beef with rice. It was alright. Had better from other locations. Overall food is good but service is not attentive but i would come back for the food. read more

Very nice restaurant. Love everything we ordered. We came right after they opened. This is the 4th or 5th time I come. Usually I come around noon time and they are very busy. This time since it is early, it is just us and another table. We ordered 2 entrees and 2 appetizers. All are yummy. I like the porridge with duck salad. The duck is yummy and not gimmy. Banh khotvis yummy. Grill pork roll is yummy but I have better sauce at different restaurant. Banh Xeo is their signature dish and it was yummy and crunchy. It is good to come early as the food came fast. read more

I was hesitant to try this spot at first since it only had a 3.5-star rating, but I decided to give it a shot for lunch and ordered a variety of dishes to share. The Banh Khot (mini pancakes) were nicely crispy and flavorful. The Banh Xeo--both the pandan (La Dua) and original turmeric (Bot Nghe) versions--were incredibly crispy and definitely the highlight of the meal. The pandan crepe added a nice twist. They were very generous with the fresh herbs and vegetables, so much so that we ended up taking the extras home. The Mi Quang was decent--something different--but didn't stand out too much. The Com Bo Luc Lac (shaking beef with rice) was just okay; I've had better versions elsewhere. We had some leftover Banh Xeo and asked for an extra small container of fish sauce to take home. At first, they said one was enough, which felt a bit unnecessary--but in the end, they gave us the extra sauce, which was appreciated. Overall, I'm glad I gave this place a try. I'd definitely return, especially for their Banh Xeo--worth the visit on its own. read more

My mom's absolute favorite place for bánh xèo, so I always pay a visit when I'm home. The bánh xèo always comes out so thin and crispy - I need to learn how to replicate that at home! They always provide lettuce and herbs and we add on an order of rice paper to wrap. Not sure I can comment much on cleanliness but the lady was swatting flies during our meal lol. The reason I'm giving two stars is that last time we got charged $6 for "large veggies" which completely blindsided me. I didn't notice because she didn't provide an itemized receipt until after I paid. Veggies are generally included. Clearly haven't learned my lesson from years ago, oops read more

I recently visited Banh Xeo Ngon, but the experience was disappointing. The food was acceptable, but the customer service made it difficult to enjoy the meal. The staff kept rushing us throughout our visit, making the atmosphere uncomfortable. At one point, I requested a bowl to hold my food, but they refused. They also kept taking my plate away while I was still eating, which seemed rushed and inconsiderate. It made the entire dining experience feel stressful rather than relaxing. I hope the restaurant can improve its service and pay more attention to customers so that they can enjoy their meals without feeling rushed to finish read more

If you are craving banh xeo in San Jose, this is about as close as you can get. Still a long way from the streets of Vietnam, but I will take it and happily come back. The banh xeo is crispy and fragrant with a good balance of filling and herbs. It gives you that familiar crunch and savoriness that makes you smile a little after the first bite. The greens are fresh, the dipping sauce has the right sweet and tangy kick, and everything comes together nicely. Service is friendly, the space is simple, and the food feels made with care. It is not quite Saigon or Hanoi level, but for the Bay Area, this spot does a solid job and scratches the itch when the craving hits. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy. This place specializes in the Viet egg pancakes. They have a lot of different choices of what's inside so you can pick what you prefer. Overall it was decent. The filling was good. They also give you some lettuce you can use to wrap the egg with. I just wish the egg had a bit more taste to it. read more

Dropped by this place for banh xeo and it was definitely worth it! This is a great place to get bang xeo. The Service was fast and the ambiance was nice. It's in the corner in Vietnamese town where there is a bunch of other snacks. The bun Bo hue was not worth it. I don't recommend getting. I think there are other places better for bun Bo hue. But the banh xeo was absolutely delicious. Definitely would come here just to get the banh xeo. They have so many different options for inside too. The grilled pork egg rolls are really yummy too! It comes with the crispy roll inside the spring roll and it was great. read more

A great place to try various Vietnamese dishes. read more

We stopped by Bánh Xèo Ngon for lunch with two young kids and four adults, hoping for a satisfying Vietnamese meal -- and in terms of flavor, the food absolutely delivered. The bánh xèo was crispy, flavorful, and everything you'd want in this dish. Each bite was packed with that perfect savory crunch. Truly phenomenal food that brought us back to the flavors of Vũng Tàu. Unfortunately, the overall experience was dampened by a few issues. Service was lackluster at best. One of the staff members seemed annoyed by our presence and served us begrudgingly, which made us feel unwelcome from the start. We also found an ant in one of the lettuce leaves, which was unsettling, especially when dining with little ones. To top it off, there were quite a few flies buzzing around -- definitely not what you want while trying to enjoy your meal. We'd come back for the food, but would really hope to see improvements in cleanliness and customer service. There's so much potential here -- the kitchen is clearly doing their job right -- but the front of house and atmosphere need some attention. read more

4 for food - although the amount of meat in the banh xeo isn't that great. Shrimp isn't whole but split into small pieces. We order banh xeo with pork/ squid/ mushroom but didn't get any mushroom in it. We love the crunch and how big their banh xeo looks. Fried rice was alright. Almost $15 for whatever fried rice. Portion was small, not enough protein for the price. 1 for the servers! Unfriendly attitude. They don't bring us water up front. We had to remind them a couple times. Their booth had crumbs and some veggie pieces; my mom who doesn't speak Vietnamese tried to have our server clean that but she gave her a look and attitude. Mom cleaned that herself. Server was mumbling something under her breath and gave our mom some staring. From there the service quality went downhill. We had to break our neck for her attention even though the restaurant isn't that big. Please inform us next time that extra veggies cost more. And please let us pack that home since we paid for it. Another worker was behind us when we paid and peeped our tips for them.... Uncomfortable. Oh and please don't sweep so hard while the customers were eating! If your servers would like to clock out at exactly the time that the restaurant closes; please just don't take us in an hour before closing time. We don't appreciate the attitude. This is our favorite place for banh xeo. Will not come back for a long time due to the service quality. read more

The ambiance and service are OK. The servers were friendly but not super attentive. You would need to flag them down if you want their attentions. The banh xeo with pork and shrimp was pretty good.
