Bếp Mẹ Ỉn - Authentic Traditional Vietanamese Cuisine

Excellent Vietnamese cuisine ala home cooked style. Our waiter made an excellent recommendation of the omelette pancake, local vegetables, sour shrimp, stewed pork, and fish wrapped in pumpkin flower— all of which we enjoyed. Portions are a little small but that allowed us to order more dishes to enjoy the variety. Price is also quite reasonable. 🙂

Hidden in an alleyway opposite the back of ben thanh market, this was a surprise find as I did not expect anything hidden away so thoroughly. Food prices are reasonable for tourists, and most service staff are able to converse in English. Food portion is just nice for one person and taste great as well! Do make this a stop after walking at the central market to enjoy some peace and a relaxing meal.

Absolute best Vietnamese comfort food, delicious and the flavored iced teas were great as well. We got two meals and two iced teas for under $10 USD so were happy. Very cute ambiance too. For the people complaining about value...then don’t go to places with an English menu and elevated decor and AC...then you’ll get the $1 pho that you apparently think you should get here. We did see locals and foreigners alike. Right by the market and do recommend!
