Hello! This is JonesGo, a Google blogger specializing in travel. Today, I would like to visit the best banh xeo restaurant ‘Bánh Xèo Bà Dưỡng’ recommended by Da Nang locals and leave a review. This store is really famous. There is no need to introduce it separately. I usually enjoy exploring restaurants when I travel to Da Nang, and the place I'm introducing this time is a place where you can taste fresh food at really reasonable prices. Banh Xeo Ba Duong, which I visited following word of mouth from locals, did not disappoint my expectations.

Introduction to Bánh Xèo Bà Dưỡng

Banh Xeo Ba Duong is a banh xeo specialty restaurant located in the heart of Da Nang city. This place has been in business since 1975 and boasts a long history and reputation. It is popular not only among locals but also foreign tourists, so it is always crowded with customers.

I couldn't visit on the weekend, so I had to go on a weekday. This is because there are so many tourists and locals on weekends that you can't go in and you have to wait outside for a long time. And if it rains, I can't wait out here in the rain. If you refer to my YouTube video, it started raining right after we finished eating. Whenever I visit this place, it always rains, perhaps as a twist of fate. So, I recommend that you come early and avoid the weekend.

Attractive point of Banh Xeo Ba Duong

Crispy dough and rich fillings: The dough of Banh Xeo Ba Duong is fried in oil, making it very crispy and chewy. Even the very famous banh xeo restaurant I visited in Hanoi, Vietnam the other day (which was even featured on a TV show featuring Korean celebrities) did not use such fresh oil and filling ingredients. Since I visited this store in person, I will review this store later when I have the chance. The charm of Banh Xeo Ba Duong is so great that it can be said to be number one among all provinces in Vietnam.

The filling is rich in shrimp, pork, bean sprouts, bean sprouts, etc., making it delicious. The point we especially need to pay attention to is the pork, not the shrimp. No, it's not shrimp, it's pork? There may be some people who do it. I can fully understand. The characteristic of banh xeo is shrimp. Of course, the shrimp are large enough and fresh enough to impress you when you eat them. But what's even better is the pork here. Let’s check out the special sauce below.

Special sauce: Banh Xeo Ba Duong comes with a special sauce. You can enjoy the sauce even more deliciously when you eat it with the dough, which has a harmonious sweet and salty taste. The special sauce made here is made with pork. What happens when you first dip it in the sauce? What is this? Is it peanut sauce? mustard? But the color is close to black? You can do it. If you look closely, the sunken bottom may look a bit like tofu, but it is not tofu. Be sure to try our special sauce made with fresh pork. Really, you can only eat sauce like this here.

Low price: The price is low compared to other banh xeo restaurants in Da Nang. I know this because I have been to all the famous banh xeo restaurants in Hanoi, and this one is definitely cheaper. However, the downside is that I had to do 4 things, so I had to tell you about this. The price of one item is much cheaper than the price of the product. However, even if one or two people visit, you must order four. That's the only downside. When you visit the store, we recommend that you visit with a friend.

Friendly service: The staff is very friendly and the service is good. Just ask the waiter if you need anything. However, the waiter seems to be having a bit of a hard time because the store is crowded with people. However, if you need anything, we will bring it to you right away so you can experience the best service.

Actual visit reviews Banh Xeo at Ba Duong

This time, I ordered the most popular menu item at Bánh Xèo Ba Duong, ‘Bánh Xèo Bà Dưỡng Special’. The special banh xeo had a variety of fillings including shrimp, pork, bean sprouts, and bean sprouts.

Of course, there is also a special sauce that does not need to be ordered separately. If, like me, you are strongly attracted to this special sauce, you can ask for one more sauce, or after you finish eating, ask for another sauce and eat it with a lot of it. And when I took a bite of the banh xeo dipped in this sauce, my mouth was filled with the crispy dough, rich fillings, and sweet and salty sauce. It was truly the best!

And Nem Lụi (grilled pork skewers) is also one of the must-order items. I've also tried Malaysian grilled skewers (I'll cover this later in the Malaysian section), but the pork was grilled to perfection and the fantastic taste I got at a local restaurant here in Da Nang couldn't be compared.

I have yet to try the spring rolls and roasted pork vermicelli here. If I get a chance, I will visit again later and upload part 2. The reason why I couldn't order is because the amount I ordered was so large and the taste was perfect that I didn't need to order any more.

Banh Xeo Ba Duong also sells a variety of beers and drinks. I enjoyed cold corn drink and passion fruit drink, which are specialties here, along with banh xeo, and it was a really sweet combination. One thing you should know is that if you order the corn drink and passion fruit sold here, you will see Hoi An written on the bottle. I separately asked the waiter, “Is this drink a Hoi An specialty?” I asked him and he said yes.

If you don't have time to visit Hoi An separately, you can experience Hoi An indirectly through drinks here. So, this is Da Nang, but Hoi An? You can, but Hoi An is also a very famous tourist destination, so it is one of the must-visit courses when you come to Da Nang. I will cover a separate special feature on Hoi An later.
