Xeo Yum

Vietnamese restaurant · Midtown

"There are a few Vietnamese dishes that can be hard to find outside of Chinatown, like bánh xèo (Thien An makes a great one and Dinette makes a small one), bánh khọt, or nem nướng. So when a spot opens specializing in those things, we start salivating at a Pavlovian rate. Xeo Yum, an open-kitchen food stall in Midtown’s Conservatory food hall serves all of those and more. Sit at the bar and watch as bright yellow crepes stuffed with pork belly materialize in frying pans o as each little bánh khọt gets topped with perfectly pink shrimp. Each eventual crunchy, soft, oily bite tastes like a fluffy little turmeric heaven, especially once repeatedly dunked in fish sauce." - Gianni Greene, Chelsea Thomas
