Bếp Mẹ Ỉn - Lê Thánh Tôn

What a delightful find tucked away in a cozy alleyway! My dinner experience at this charming restaurant was simply wonderful. While I can’t quite remember the names of the dishes I savored, each bite was a delightful surprise, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. I left feeling completely satisfied and eager to return on my next visit to the city. If you’re in the mood for a memorable culinary adventure, be sure to stop by this hidden gem. You won’t be disappointed!

This was the best authentic Vietnamese experience we had in HCM. It’s hidden down an alley way, and is quite small. Often a line waiting to be seated for lunch, full of locals and tourists, but moves quickly. Offers a great range of noodles, rice and meats to share. The drinks aren’t overly cold at a lot of these places, so I always ask for ice in a glass too. Price point is good, however the same plates would be offered on the street much cheaper if you’re willing to buy from local carts.

The place was hidden in an alley, but Google Maps can show you the right place. Michelin recommends this place.

I ordered two dishes and one drink, obviously it was too much for one person. The taste was great, egg pancake was very crunchy and mushroom inside was juicy. The meat was also super good, one is pork and not sure about the other one.

The paintings on the wall are beautiful and bright, adds more lively vibes to the great food.

The place was very popular, I went there before 12pm and luckily got the last seat. Better go early for lunch.

Have to wait a bit to be seated. Foods come out quick and the quality is just amazing, well worth the price. A bit more expensive than your local restaurant but the foods taste good, so it’s okay I guess 😅😅😅

This place was delicious! Definitely a spot you don’t want to miss before or after your shopping at Ben Thanh Market. I would highly recommend the beef skewers, spring rolls, and pancake. They also have a wide range of tasty drinks! The workers here were friendly and provided great service.

Amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were pretty big. It all felt very fresh, which was what I was hoping for. The staff was nice and service was fast. Well priced too.
Definitely recommend checking it out!

Excellent food. Incredibly efficient service. There is very often a lineup, but their efficiency means you won't be waiting long, and they give you a menu when you're near the end of the line, so you're ready to go.

It's definitely worth the wait and the hype

Hidden in an alleyway near Ben Thanh market this spot is so good even Michelin recommends it!

Seriously tho, for the price you cannot beat the quality of this food, the atmosphere is just a bonus. You get to enjoy communal tables either in a packed and narrow restaurant or just in the alleyway at a low table with stools amongst a few other businesses. The bánh xèo was the best we've ever enjoyed and was crispy on the outside but full of flavor inside with juicy shrimp and pork.
The signature drinks are also tasty - the kumquat was a favorite for us!

Don't miss this place - it's worth a wait, I swear!

In addition to its enchanting atmosphere, Bep Me In surprised and delighted my taste buds with an abundance of flavors and impeccable execution. The pancake was a delightful revelation, overflowing with a generous medley of ingredients that created a symphony of textures and tastes. The beef skewers, grilled to perfection, were a testament to the chef's mastery over the grill. Our choice to indulge in both types of fried rice served in coconut - shrimp, and mushroom & tofu, was a wise one; each coconut boasted a delightful blend of flavors that left us thoroughly satisfied. The pork platter, a highlight of our culinary adventure, proved to be irresistibly yummy, adding another layer of gastronomic excellence to our dining experience at Bep Me In.

The location is kinda inside an alley. If i don’t see it on gmaps maybe i will not go there.
But turns out it really a hidden gem. The foods are all delicious, especially the pancake. All seats are full.
The service is good and food comes quickly.
Overall good, definitely will come again.

We tried Bep Me In after reading all the great reviews, and it lived up to the hype. Although we had to wait 20 minutes for a table because it was busy, all the dishes were fresh and delicious. I enjoyed all the dishes but my favourite was the fish in a clay pot. We loved the mango smoothie a lot too.

Their food is so freshly made and their veges and herbs are very tasty and very refreshing!
We came twice dinner in a row as we wanted to try more of their food.

Their service are nice, staff recognised us coming back for the second time, and the interior decoration is very cute and nostalgic

We came here especially for the Bánh xèo (seafood pancake with fresh vegetables). Highly recommended. We also had the Chả Cá Lã Vọng (grilled snakefish). The sauce was great. Good service. Most waiters spoke English. There are actually three sections to the restaurants. The middle section serves only Bánh mì. The right section has the toilets. Lots of fans. I did not see any Air Con. Nice decor. Credit cards accepted. Note: for the lobster Bánh mì, call one day ahead.

I was excited to try this as it was featured in the Michelin guide and it did not disappoint. The best dish we had was the fried rice in coconut which was very fragrant. Expect tourist prices. Please do make a reservation in advance if you wish to avoid the queue.

Service was quick, not many seating available so expect to queue. But the service and food prep are quite fast. It taste so good and the portion is pretty big. You can have 1 dish for 2 people.

The waiter at our hotel recommended this place and said the food here is very good. He wasn’t wrong, the food was delicious. I recommend the Banh Xeo Tom Thit, Vietnamese pancake with shrimp and pork. The Goi Cuon Bi Thit Nuong, Fresh spring rolls with grilled pork. It’s best to book at table in advance because this place is very popular.

Food is absolutely delicious here. Their banh xeo is the best we had in Vietnam. We had plenty of other dishes and they were all made to perfection.

Popular place well worth the Michelin star. Their food was amazing and a must visit for anyone in Ho Chi Minh. Their menu recommendations were spot on. Come early to get on the waiting list as it gets pretty busy at night.

The staff speaks good English and they are so friendly. Food is simply yummy. We ordered 5 dishes for the 2 of us and managed to emptied all plates.

A small queue to start with, decent size menu with lots to offer. We loved 😍 the fried spring rolls (came back for that), coconut friend rice, beef skewers. The dishes come with lots of fresh herbs and leaves 🍃.
