It’s been a few years since I’ve been for a visit to Thanh Xuan Cafe. Not much has changed. We dropped in on a Thursday for lunch and it was busy. Most people were grabbing takeout banh cuon. Two ladies working, four tables (14 seats total). Service is on the slow side. ... Help yourself to the hot water/tea near the back. Menu is basically 4 dishes but the prices already include taxes. - Bun rieu cua ($12.00) - light, simple broth. It won’t blow you away but hits the spot. - Banh cuon nhan tom thit ($17.00 large) - this is the large option. Comes with two bowls of nuoc mam, herbs and sliced chili peppers. Fresh and delicious. Everyone gets it. Cash only. Read more
