Vietnamese Banh Cuon in Saigon at Bánh Cuốn Hải Nam

- Banh cuon is a Vietnamese dish of rice batter crepes, filled with a savory meat filling. More details coming soon: migrationology....
Before going to Saigon this trip, I had eaten it a number of times, and it had always been one of my personal favorite Vietnamese snacks or light meals / foods. Although it’s originally known to be a northern Vietnamese food, it’s widely available throughout Saigon as well, from street food stall to nearly every market. When I was in Saigon, I went to a restaurant called Bánh Cuốn Hải Nam a number of times, once with Kyle (), and a few other times as well. It was quite good, and though there are many other places to eat banh cuon in the city, this restaurant was very close to where I was staying, so it was very convenient.
So what is banh cuon? It is a Vietnamese means rolled cake, and it all begins with a thin batter that’s made from rice flour and is lightly fermented. On top of a pot that has water boiling below, there’s a cloth that’s pulled onto the top, in order to be the crepe steamer. The thin batter is poured on top of the steaming cloth, flattened into a thin crepe, then covered and steamed for just a few minutes. The wrapper really only takes about 1 minute to steam, and them it’s carefully removed with a wooden stick, and filled with a mixture of minced pork, garlic, wood ear mushrooms, and in this case I noticed some small dried shrimp in the mix as well. After the banh cuon is rolled up, it’s then put onto a plate, cut up into pieces, garnished with bean sprouts, lettuce, and the all important handful of crispy shallots. Sometimes you’ll find other toppings and the addition of Vietnamese sausage on top, but the version at Bánh Cuốn Hải Nam came with the sausage on the side.
In order to eat the rice crepe rolls, you must have the Vietnamese sweet fish sauce dipping sauce, which at this restaurant was sitting on every table in an inviting jar. After putting a scoop of the fish sauce into my bowl, I then added in a scoop of fresh crushed chili to give it even more flavor. I have to say that banh cuon is one of my favorite Vietnamese light foods or snacks. The outer crepe wrapper is thin, silky and just slightly sticky, while the inside filling is savory, meaty, and has a wonderful garlic flavor. The sweet fish was is salty and tangy, and the extra spoon of chilies also adds some marvelous flavor.
Along with my plate of rice crepe rolls, I also ordered a plate of something called banh beo, this version topped with minced pork. Banh beo are small steamed rice cakes, and the batter in this case had a wonderful coconut milk flavor to it - so I think they used coconut milk into the bottom pancake mixture? The banh beo was wiggly and creamy, and the same meaty pork mixture was placed on top along with what I think was a handful of yellow crushed shrimp… or coconut, I’m still not sure. Anyway, it was quite good, but overall I think I preferred the banh cuon over the banh beo.

#VietnameseFood #banhcuon
I really don't know how you find all these places. I've been to Ho Chi Minh City four times now, and I haven't found 1/5 of all the taste places you have found
Mark Wiens your camera is sick did you have a personal assistant to film for u in #saigon or is it your wife?
As always, it looks heavenly...
John L. Fjellstad Thanks John, many of the places were recommended to me when I asked on this video ua-cam.com/video/G6VhRn_mTrg/v-deo.html so it was really great to have some local suggestions.
Arran Gilligan Hey Arran, it's my wife!
Wow, you can handle the better than most vietnamese People. You didn't even break a sweat. Love your channel. Now I miss VN because of you
Bahn cuon is one of my favorites. I get mesmerized watching the woman making it. The timing and assembly line process has to be perfect. There is a square tray variation, but I prefer the circular one like what is eating. I just love watching them make it.
I'm kind of addicted to your videos. I find it puzzling how nobody has thought of it before. In depth food tasting etc... Your videos are original.
I like your videos so much. My sister and I were watching this and we were like ' how? How can he eat everything properly?? ' As a Vietnamese, I'm so proud and happy that you enjoyed the food there so much. I love how you describe every dish you have with the most flawless words and you look so passionate abt it too. I'm also impressed with your chopsticks skills lol. My fav youtuber!!
I ate at that exact some place! Its so good! I love watching people try our viet traditional foods! hope you enjoyed it! Love your videos
Tks for travelling to Vietnam and introuduce Vietnamese foods for your friends in the world Mark. Hope you comeback next time and enjoy more than. Nice to meet you !!
you know the foood is super duper amazing good is when mark tilt his head to the right 45 degree with closing eyes and that "hmm" humming. The food is good, not super duper is when he only tilts his head to the right at 45 degree but with no closing eyes
I was just here a week ago. it was very good and delicious. Thank you for your video, Mark?
Love love LOVE your videos of my favourit food and country! Thank u so much
LOVEstoriiii Thank you very much!
Mark! You are the best observer of different food!
Роман Володин Thank you very much
Mark, I've just discovered you today, but I'm hooked. You are truly living the life man!
***** Thank you very much Franciscus
I live in Sai Gon and I definitely don't know all these places you visted. Great videos.
There he is again, Mr.Mark, the best food blogger and food reviewer on UA-cam! Thanks for another awesome food review Mark, ! With respect Mr.Molina San Diego California!
Linzey Molina Thank you, hope you're doing well.

Thank you honeypiesweet03
Yet another awesome food video, keep it up Mark and Ying!!!!
Thank you JSKA980405
Nice video. I don’t know how to eat this stuff so I looked here and found this video.
I get this stuff at THH Sandwiches and Coffee in Tustin, Ca. They have it ready to go at the register in a plastic wrapped plate. Comes with around 6 rice paper & ground pork pouches, dipping sauce, crispy onion & garlic sprinkles, and a side of sprouts.
They have spring rolls with peanut sauce and other ready to go dishes too.
The sandwiches there are the bomb.
Gooood goood goood! 😋😋😋😋
you are killing me, man. I just had a green salad for lunch...I will look for a recipe to cook this over the weekend. I am sure I can get the wrapper or something close in an asian food store. thanks for the inspiration! ty, chris
Yes you can find the bag of flour at any asian store, itll show the picture n the name on the bag. It's very easy to make and very delicious! If youve made crepes before, thats how you would make the rice flour wrapper.
DailyBread2007 thanks a lot. the weekend is reserved! ty, chris
Thank you for watching TheLicewine Chris, sounds like a great plan for the weekend!
Did you make Banh Cuon yet?
Mark Wiens I like all the vedio that you have share coz I love all kinds of food you try. but the only thing I don't like is the way you act your face with open big big eye and your neck is moving around . just act like a normal people don't act.... too much . thanks for let me tell you something that I desapointed from you.
hi mark, man all the dishes looked so good. I have really enjoyed this Vietnam series very much thx again :)
Hi Mark, believe it or not, I always waiting for your food review. Since i have no idea where should i travel this year and since i went to thailand 3 times and try most of your food recommendation, i think i'll go to vietnam this year. Also, this banh cuon make my mouth watering. Thanks for your effort Mark. Looking forward for your next videos. Dont forget to come to Indonesia as well. Cheers.
I'm a sucker for a rice batter crepe, so darn crispy! Nice one fellow Tastemaker!
Mark, that was a lot of chili that you put into the sauce....lol. This dish looks really good and yet light!!! I would love this, and as always I love to watch your facial expressions...its so cute!!!
I've been to VN so many times, but I've never tried this. I'm definitely going to this restaurant after seeing you eat this and Kyle and Ole Boy recommending this place. Thanks for the video!
Nikki Herrera Good to hear that Nikki, I think you're going to enjoy it!
Every Food story is beautiful but ours is my favourite.
I went to Saigon in December last year and had Banh Cuon. Great dish! Love your videos, Mark!
gupsphoo Thank you, glad you enjoyed the food in Saigon too!
a great suggestion even for a Vietnamese person like me, who's living in Vietnam, but never been to HCM city. Thank you!
Every time i watch your vids.i get so hungry the food you eat there is look so good.
joyfullyorganic Thank you!
Love it when you're in Vietnam! it might be easier to eat it in a bowl including the vegetables and the fish sauce mixed together
Thank you very much defjamblade, that's a good idea.
Hi Mark love your videos. Probably my favourite travel channel on youtube. One thing about the fish sauce for the banh cuon is generally you pour it over your banh cuon and eat it that way, adding more according to taste. Regardless the way you were eating it wouldn't have deterred from how it was meant to taste. But I'm sure plenty of people would have mentioned that already in the comments. There is also a lovely banh cuon place that do an egg variation of the banh cuon - they add in beaten egg to your rice flour crepe to give it a bright yellow colour and slight egg taste. It is one of my favourite places, at Banh Cuon Thien Huong, 179A 3 Tháng 2 (or Ba Thang Hai) street, Ward 11, District 10.
.Love your reactions. We are heading back to HCMC next week. Sending love from Australia
The Banh Cuốn THiên Hương is my favorite breakfast spot. I ate this every morning since i was 5. In my opinion, it's better than Mark Wiens' place.
I look your smile get i happy . I love your travel in the world. I very happy you have been come Viet Nam. Thank you alot
I always love your videos! Cheers to this yummy Vietnamese dish! :)
this is my favourite place for bánh cuốn before going vegetarian. The fish sauce that goes with it has added water, sugar, lime juice, chili and sometimes minced garlic. Looking forward to recreate vegan fish sauce !!
It is coconut milk, and there is a variant that may well be Lao since it was at a Laotian Market I used to get it that is the coconut batter cooked with green onions on the top. Sweet, coconut with onion sounded strange to me, so I tried it and fell in love.
Oh man those cakes look soo good, good stuff as usual Mark
JackGeezy85 Thank you!
I can't make it to Vietnam but I can definitely check out a Vietnamese restaurant this weekend. Great video as always.
I know I'm a little late in commenting, but better late than never, right? I think this is one of the most delicious looking dishes you have ever eaten. I've never heard of either, before. I only hope, one day, I'm able to experience these dishes! Thank you for sharing this with us! I would have never known about it. Hopefully, I can find this in a restaurant near me!
literally one of my childhood food, I literally grow up eating this, right in the nostalgia
Yuuuuum makes me want to drive to my mom house for some homecooked Vietnamese food 🤤
You made the fish sauce so wonderful. The fish sauce is watered down a little bit bit for these dishes in order to make it less salty. So, you need to pour the fish sauce into the dish to get the full effect. The Banh Beo you eat is a dry version. There is also another version with some kind of paste on top rather than the dry toppings and it is more common I guess. So wonderful to see you enjoy Vietnamese cuisine.
You should travel to St. Paul MN the next time you are in the US again. We have an Asian market called Hmong Village that features most of the food that you have been eating. They have a mixture of Thai, Laotion, and Vietnamese food all at this market. Plus, they are mostly made by people who use to live in Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. So it's pretty authentic food.
Yummm! This is my favorite. I make it at home all the time, it is such a crowd pleaser!
DailyBread2007 Great to hear that, sounds delicious.
When I was a child my grandma used to give me every morning few coins to have my banh cuon breakfast at the next door restaurant. My favorite breakfast dish then
Love your food reviews. Keep it up Mark!
you knw what mark... when i don't fell like eating OR when i hve to eat the food that i don't like ..i just look into ur food videos and i eat more than i thought.....thank u
kwal basu Thank you very much Kwal, that's very encouraging to hear.
I made Banh Cuon for dinner one night, found a good recipe on YT, the family loved the different taste, might have to make this again, cheers from New Zealand
Really?? I must try
Pretty much everyone I know loves banh cuon, including me. I can eat this by the boat load. Usually, we pile some into a bowl, toss in all the veggies, thinly sliced ham, and fish sauce and eat it. Like a noodle bowl of sorts. Yum, yum, yum!!
I just stumbled across your channel and love your videos! You should really have a series on Tastemade! Banh Cuon is one of my favorite dishes and I am very lucky to live in LA where we have restaurants that serve this!
jackdollybears Thank you very much, glad you have access to it in LA!
In Chinese cooking there is a dish that is a You Tiao (an oily deep fried stick of savoury dough usually served with congee) that is wrapped in this kind of rice noodle creep. It's yummy!!
Locut0s Ok, yah I know the deep fried dough, but have never had it with the wrapper, would love to try.
Look like coffee shop very clean and fresh healthy foods thank you for sharing your beautiful video love your video thanks.
We like to see your wife & your boy , Mark !

The Banh Cuon looks so yummy, The chillie and fish sauce makes my mouth water. the other dish also looks great have to try and find it here in so. Cal. You did a wonderful job as always Mark. You represent the Vietnamese food very well. Keep up your wonderful gastronomical adventure. I hope if you go the Philippines you let me show you the world I know in Manila and places.

Thanks for sharing. Next time try the banh cuon place inside Ben Thanh Market.
Your awesome man,love all your vids..
Mark, You are Great !!! Best Wishes from Poland :)
I just subscribed and i can easily say this is the best decision ive ever made
Bánh-cuốn is my fav dish of foods that made from rice flour. And You should have dipped the Bánh-bèo in mixed fish sauce, Mark. That how the dish should be eaten. But it’s good that you have tried our foods.
The best sauce for this dish is a chili dip that consists of fresh Thai Chili pepper, cilantro, green onion, dry, roasted chili powder, roasted, ground peanuts, MSG, fish sauce, a little bit of water and lime juice. You can add toasted sticky rice too if you want. This sauce tastes better than that one.
This is making me feel so hungry despite the fact that I've just eaten
One of my most fav Vietnamese dish T_T!
Mark you should have seen that Banh Trang Re in Vietnam. Banh trang Re is a spider netted egg roll wrapper it is made there.
Awesome foods you are enjoyed there .....so yummy !!
Barnali's Kitchen Thank you!
Thank you so much for continuing to share. I learn so much from you. How would you say food differs in general from Thai food?
Everytime I watch your video's, my mouth waters and I want to go to my closest Asian / Thai, Viet place to eat. only problem is the food isn't near as good here.
That looks so good!! we need to have that type of authentic in U.S.
Great video!!
Authentic food*
Authentic food*
ask my gf where to find this ^_^
Keep up the good work.
I love your facial expressions when you eat! 😄
I love Banh Cuon, especially when prepared fresh! Yummy:) Your vietnam videos are all good, I am Viet and have been to Vietnam. You did a great job showcasing our food. What is your background Mark?
That sweet fish sauce is sooooooooo goooooood.
My mouth is watering watching you eat. Banh cuon is one my favorite VN dishes, I grew up eating them in Saigon. No one can make them like that in Canada. :(
That Bánh Béo looks soooo good.
i love viet foods! that is one of my favorites besides pho and springroll
Ty mark you eat so Good made me hungry
It's nice to see how you love it :D it also my favourite one =)) btw, the orange one on the top of rice cake could be crushed dried shrimp !!!
Hey Mark! Love your videos by the way. If u absolutely want the best banh cuon in the world then you must go to Hai Phong city up in the north. Once you had it there you won't ever want it anywhere else. Trust me.
I need to stop watching these videos so early in the morning >.< I can hear my stomach lmfao
Hah, thank you ***** that means it's time for breakfast.
I like your after food expression ..."ummm.............. very nice .
Hi Ying. & Mark,
Both types looked delicous. I've had the Chinese style ones with sharsui pork in them, but never had the Vietnamese type. Hope you two are doing well.
Jim.
evogardens Thank you Jim
My favorite dishes
Hi Mark... Are you back in Vietnam or is this vid from your last visit? The food over there looks amazing!!
When I'm back in Thailand I can't wait to check out some of the joints you've recommended and hopefully you'll be in town to come along.
I think all your food loving fans owe you a lunch or dinner for making such great vids. You make my mouth water every time !
Think I might have to consider hopping over to Saigon to try some of that great looking food when I'm in that part of the world.
Keep up the great work !!
Jonathan Peaker Huge thank you Jonathan. No this video is from a couple months back, now I'm back in Thailand. Do you come to Thailand often?
Hey Mark... Thanks for the reply.
Yea, I visit Thailand very often and I'll be back in July. Hopefully you'll be around as it would be great to meet (and eat with) you one day...
I love the vid you did with the street cart ' The Ultimate Thai Chicken Recipe'.... Very hard to choose but I think that's my fave. Amazing !!
Keep it up dude !!!
I love banh cuon Hai Nam! I go there really often! Surprisingly, I like the banh cuon at Ben Thanh market better. But the best banh cuon in the world? That one is in California at Pho Tau Bay in Santa Ana.
Good job, I enjoy your videos.
Susan W. Thank you Susan
Thanks for posting all the yummy Vietnamese food.
Have you had a chance to try My Quang noodle?
You're welcome, thank you for watching Tieu O'Brien, that's a dish I didn't have a chance to try. Is it one of your favorites?
Yes, it's one of my favorite noodle dishes of Vietnamese cuisine.
I will travel there just to eat! Omg, I'm so hungry now. hehehe
You earned yourself a sub :)
One of my favorite! ❤
It's like one of those rice noodle rolls that we see when I go out for dim sum. The method is the same, but just different fillings that's all.
It's just that this is a Vietnamese take on a Chinese influence, since Vietnamese cuisine is a cross between Thai and Chinese, leaning on the Chinese side for the most part.
he is good with those sticks
Total FAV! My mouth is watering!
It's easier to eat when you pour the sauce and chili directly into the plate with the Banh Cuon so that it doesn't get too messy. That what I do to prevent the stuffing from coming out as much so that I can eat more! XD
Im serious u gotta make a trip to Vung Tau. So much good food
I just love this! I need to get my mom to make this for me.
SolOtis Glad you love it too, homemade will be delicious.
We water down both of the dishes with the fish sauce using a big spoon. Just scoop the fish sauce with a big spoon and pour all over the two dishes.
Looks so good.
subscribe for that gesture. And Banh cuon tatse best when the sauce is hot and cold weather
woww..that look very delicious.....
