Bánh Cuốn Hương Bắc

Very small restaurant ran by one person so the service isn’t the quickest but definitely freshly made. I really enjoyed the meal and happy to support this local small business

My friend and I stopped by Bánh Cuốn Hương Bắc and ordered the bánh cuốn đặc biệt, it instantly brought back memories of Bánh Cuốn Tây Hồ back in the ‘90s. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. You can really tell it’s made with care. The fish sauce is crack and I just poured the entire sauce on top of my Bánh Cuốn. The owners, a husband and wife team, were incredibly kind and welcoming. It’s the kind of mom-and-pop spot you just feel good supporting humble place, great people, and even better food. Heads up: it’s cash only and parking is limited to street parking, so be ready for a short walk. But it’s worth it. I’ll definitely be back.

Came on someone’s recommendation. My first impression was that they were understaffed and looked overwhelmed. There’s only a handful of full of tables in this modest restaurant. The wait was 30-45 minutes even though there weren’t that many customers. But we were invested after 15 minutes, so figured we’d rough it out. So glad we did because the food was sooooooo good. The portions are generous and everything tastes so fresh. The prices are also low compared to other places with less good food. They could easily raise their prices by $5 and I would still think it was worth it because it was so good. So come but be prepared to wait even when it’s not busy. Cash only. There’s street parking or if you can find the hidden side street that leads to their parking lot in the rear.

Huong Bac is a quintessential "hole-in-the-wall" eatery that surpassed our expectations during a recent out-of-state visit. Craving authentic Banh Cuon led us to this hidden gem. Despite our late arrival—merely 15 minutes before closing time— the lady welcomed us with open arms, allowing us to place our order. We opted for the #9 Banh Cuon Dac Biet and #12 Bun Rieu, eagerly anticipating our meal in the cozy ambiance of the small dining area. The kitchen was bustling, with the gentleman wrapping what seemed to be freshly made Gio Lua. The aroma of sweet and sour fish sauce wafted through the air, a hallmark of genuine Vietnamese cuisine. The wait was about 20 minutes, as the lady needed to boil water anew for our noodles and steam the Banh Cuon. She apologized for the delay, though we ins

The banh cuon and bun rieu was delicious but service was not so good. There was only one guy there when we were there and he seemed overwhelmed even though there were just 3 of us eating in the whole restaurant. As far as the food, the banh cuon is probably the best in the SGV and the Bun Rieu was one of the best I've ever had. Wish the service can get a little better.
