Heard great things about Banh Khot Lady on Instagram and Tiktok so we had to try it. After watching one of the videos, we were craving bad and decided to spontaneously drive down from LA to try their banh khot on a late Tuesday afternoon. The storefront is small with minimal seating and no public restrooms. The cashier dude is so cool, genuine, & happy. Since it was our first time here, he told us what they specialized in and checked in with us on how the food tasted after our meal. He also grabbed us bowls, napkins, & utensils even though it was a self-serving station set-up. I noticed him doing the same for other guests and just provided amazing customer service.

Now for the food. The price is a bit steep but the banh khot is worth it!!! We got the 20 piece banh khot which was $34 and the perfect for two hungry people. The banh khot was thick and super crispy. They have a good amount of filling. They gave the right amount of veggies too. Surprisingly the daikon radish they provided went really well with the banh khot. The nuoc mam was so good we bought a bowl ($7) to take home. It has a lot more substance in it like green onions than other nuoc mam.

We checked into Yelp for a free rocket shrimp egg roll which was nothing compared to the banh khot. They nailed the frying part but I thought the filling was a bit too soft/mushy. It also tasted better with Sriracha than the nuoc mam which gives it...

They have been in business for three years during the pandemic and this is their first brick and mortar early this year. Banh Khot and egg rolls are all that they sell.

Banh Khot is best described as Vietnamese savory pancake. Cooked over medium heat in a skillet similar to the Danish aebleskiver or Japanese Takoyaki in little wells. The batter’s main ingredients are rice flour, coconut cream, mung bean and corn starch which makes the center rich and creamy not to confused with it being glutinous because it’s not. The corn starch gives it the pancake fluff texture and skillet produces the crispy edges with the shrimp on top.

Banh Khot lady specializes in these and it tastes just like how I remember growing up. What she does differently was the added minced pork. We placed the order on line for the party tray with 30 banh khot and 20 pork shrimp egg rolls as take out. You’re given time slots to pick up. If you don’t see the time you want then that means, they are filling an order already. It came with a large bag of lettuce, pickled veggies and fish sauce to wrap and dip.

When we got home, we air fried it for a few minutes before serving. These little delicacies are so yummy and addicting. I had a total of 10 and could totally eat more.

If you dine in, there are two miniature tables inside and two outside. Similar to street...
