Holy moly this place is good. There’s a lot of Banh Mi Xui Mai places in the city but this one I guess is one of the most famous. Make sure it says 47 in the name if you take a grab - thats the address too. The meatballs come with the most flavorful broth and are tender and delicious. Two meatballs per bowl of soup. I also ordered the Banh Mi with egg and shaken beef. Basically a deconstructed Banh mi. It was great but the “meatball” order was what blew my mind. Also they tend to run out by 10am i heard so come early in the morning. They open at 6am. And it’s lovely to have this in the cool mountain air. Clean area with napkins and hand spray. Service is lovely too. They placed my bag on a chair for me when they noticed it on the ground. ❤️

With two soft drinks it came to 110,000. Staff were really nice and the setting is the typical local tiny stools and tables type. All good fun. Highly...

The broth is rich and aromatic, with just the right balance of seasoning, making it perfect for dipping the crusty baguette. The meatballs are tender and pair beautifully with the warm, savory broth. The people running the place were so kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you’re craving a hearty and satisfying meal, this spot is definitely...
