Our Vietnamese Sizzling Crepe (Bánh Xèo) is a showstopper at Pho Binh Minh Restaurant. A crispy, golden turmeric-infused rice flour crepe is stuffed with juicy shrimp, sliced pork, bean sprouts, and green onions. Served with a plate of fresh lettuce and herbs for wrapping, and nuoc cham for dipping, this dish is as fun to eat as it is delicious.
Bánh Xèo — meaning "sizzling cake" for the sound it makes when the batter hits the hot pan — is a beloved Vietnamese street food classic featured on our menu at Pho Binh Minh Restaurant. Our crepe batter is made with rice flour, coconut milk, and turmeric, poured into a sizzling hot pan to create an ultra-crispy, lacy shell that is golden in colour and irresistibly crunchy.
The filling features a generous combination of shrimp, sliced pork belly, bean sprouts, and green onions. To eat, you tear off a piece of the crepe, wrap it in a lettuce leaf with fresh herbs like mint and Vietnamese coriander, and dip it in nuoc cham. The result is an incredible combination of textures and flavours — crispy, savoury, fresh, and tangy all in one bite.

"One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Winnipeg. Fresh ingredients cooked by a Vietnamese mom that takes pride in her dishes. An extraordinary experience for very little money."

"Portion sizes were generous, service was great. The place has like a 170-item menu. Add wonderful service, what is not to like."
