I went here with no idea what "banh xeo" was and no idea this place existed. I left smiling.
First of all, the service: wow. Some of the best service I've received in a long time.
The guy serving was incredibly attentive and SO friendly to the point I wondered if he was the owner. His disposition set the tone for the meal - we let him know we were in a rush and he wasted no time getting us seated and getting menus in our hands. Now to be clear: I'm into women. But if this guy had asked if I wanted to hold hands and skip down Kensington Ave with him, I wouldn't have refused him. He was just that nice.
Funky decor, nice and bright and very, very clean. A simple layout with big windows.
I'd never had a vietnamese crepe before, but I figure if you're going out for something like that you'd better order the original. They have some "western" options, but I went straight for the legit experience and I was NOT disappointed. Big servings, delicious crepes, fresh ingredients - and all the hot sauce I could ever need. It's not the neatest meal - you'll probably get something on your face/clothes/the table. But it's delicious.
Unfortunately as I mentioned we were in a rush, so we were in and out fast - and left big tips.
I'll definitely be back when I'm in the mood for something a little different in Kensington!
