Banh Xeo Bar

Miss dining out so much.. Finally back to this delicious local joint, after a long three months hiatus due to the lockdown. Everything were as good if not better than the last time we ate there. The Banh Xeo was crunchy, full of flavour, and perfection when eat with the accompanied wrapping condiments. It is fresh, texture and joyful taste in your mouth. The side dish of pig head nugget and deep fried pig trotters just naughty, yet irresistible. So glad to be dining out again, can't wait for next visit for the bo bun cha and other banh xeo special…. Banh Xeo Bar where Vietnamese fusion done in perfection!

No offence guys but this was the worst Banh Mi I’ve ever had. Tasteless pulled pork-esque, mushy and imbalanced flavours! How did it not taste like the classic crusty bread rolls smeared with pate, mayo, suspicious looking Asian ham, pickled vegetables, green onion, coriander, a mighty hit of chilli and drizzle of seasoning of old? I had one on high st. in Penrith yesterday for $5.50 made in seconds that easily surpassed this bourgeois mess that (in an otherwise empty restaurant) was told 10-15mins wait. Oh! And to charge $16? Get stuffed. Banh Mi is cheapo food for the people. Get it right. (Nothing against the staff)

Banh Xeo Bar was a really lovely experience. Service was welcoming and friendly and the seating was very clean. Their Vietnamese pancakes are a must-try (light, crispy and full of fresh herbs and filling) and accompanied by their freshly made pickles. I loved their Pig Head Nuggets - deep fried nuggets of slow cooked pork goodness. It is pricier than the cheap and cheerful fare you get in Marrickville, but the quality of their ingredients and the atmosphere of the Cannery makes it a special treat! Can't wait to go back to try the rest of their menu.
