Bánh Xèo, translating to 'sizzling pancake', is a signature dish in Vietnamese cuisine. This crispy, stuffed rice pancake is celebrated for the unique sound it makes when the batter hits the hot skillet.

Our Bánh Xèo is a savory delight, crafted with rice flour, water, and a hint of turmeric powder, giving it a distinctive yellow hue.

Our chef at Anh Anh Vietnamese Restaurant has perfected the Bánh Xèo batter, combining fresh ingredients that ensures a crispy texture with a soft, flavorful interior. Fried in a large wok, the batter transforms into a golden-brown pancake with lacey edges, embodying the perfect balance of crunch and tenderness.
