Hien's Eatery - Hot Steamed Rice Rolls - Tran Binh Trong

Quán Hiền - Bánh Cuốn Nóng, located at 52 Trần Bình Trọng Street, Hải Châu District, is a familiar and humble breakfast spot loved by many locals. The restaurant stands out for its bánh cuốn, steamed by hand right on the spot as soon as customers order, ensuring every roll arrives at your table piping hot and steaming. A thin, soft, silky-smooth wrapper hugs a filling of minced pork stir-fried with crunchy wood ear mushrooms, rich in flavor and fragrant with the aroma of black pepper. The plate of bánh is served with rich, fragrant chả lụa (Vietnamese pork sausage), sprinkled with golden, crispy fried shallots and fresh, cooling herbs. The highlight that creates its irresistible appeal is the bowl of skillfully mixed, rich sweet-and-sour fish sauce; dipping the cake generously into it gives you a perfectly balanced taste and a warm, satisfying feeling in your belly. The prices at the eatery are very affordable, and the rustic sidewalk setting along with the owner's quick, cheerful service always bring a warm, familiar feeling to every breakfast that starts a new day.
