A dedicated one-dish specialist, Banh Xeo 46A fries its crepes to order on large flat pans visible from the street, producing a crispy, turmeric-colored shell packed with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts. Diners wrap pieces of the crepe in rice paper or lettuce leaves with fresh herbs before dipping in a sweet-sour fish sauce (nuoc cham). The narrow shophouse setting and open kitchen give it an authentic, unpretentious atmosphere.
