Bếp Mẹ Ỉn - Vietnamese Restaurant

Authentic Vietnamese comfort food! Nothing on the menu will disappoint. I’ve been twice already and could easily eat here every day. The ingredients are fresh and perfectly prepared. The pancake is definitely something you can’t miss—an absolute must-try! And the lime juice is super refreshing. They accept card payments, and it’s a good idea to book a table in advance

Went for an early dinner and the server greeted and accommodated me well even with my request for a chili sauce. But when I was paying, the person in the cashier wasn't really happy with what see was doing and it was taking a bit of time to process the bill for some reason when I just ordered 2 dishes. I ordered the coconut rice and this appetizer (forgot the name but its a rice paper w toppings) both are good and very filling. Good for sharing with another person. Price is a bit on the pricier side but to be expected since they are now also a Michelin rated restaurant.

This was the best tasting food that I've eaten at during my trip to Vietnam. I liked it so much that I came back 2 other times, and brought a friend the second time. My first experience at this place, I ordered the Beef Skewers with Rice Vermicelli and an order Fried Spring Rolls and Pickled Plum Juice. These were all recommended by my waiter, and I gave everything a 10/10, and the portions were huge and I completely devoured it. The second time I ordered the recommended Stir-Fried Beef Fillet with Beef Sauce and Vegetable and Salted Lemon Drink and didn't like it as much, as it didn't taste as good and the portion was a lot smaller. The waiter also forgot the Spring rolls we ordered. The place seems to have a lot of foreigners (which is often a red flag for me), and it does seem a bit commercial (it is a franchise), so I questioned its authenticity as Vietnamese cuisine. However, despite all this, I still highly recommend this place as it's still my go-to when I want a full hearty and tasty meal that seems reasonably authentic. It also seems like a good place to bring a date.

This is a small and charming restaurant serving delightful Vietnamese food. The setting and ambience are pleasant and inviting. The coconut fried rice has a lovely hint of coconut flavor and is well-prepared. The beef skewers are soft and tender, while the crispy pork pairs nicely with the flavorful sesame sauce. However, the pork knuckle was rather ordinary and did not meet expectations. Overall, the presentation of the dishes and the restaurant’s setting are very nice. It’s a good spot for a casual and satisfying meal.

The service was fast. Although poor signal for card payment but the servers were always smiling and polite. Food was served fast and hot. We love the skewers and pancakes. Really filling to the tummy. The servings were really good for sharing. The ambiance is very soothing to the mood.

Recommend to book in advance as the line can get long specially when raining. They respond very quickly via whatsapp. Food is great and service is quick. Particularly liked their pumpkin veggie and pork belly.

Ahoy there, food adventurers! Hidden in a whimsical alley of Little Saigon is the legendary Bếp Mẹ Ỉn — and WOW, what a dazzling, yummilicious explosion of Vietnamese magic! From the moment we were greeted by the sweetest traditionally dressed hostess, it felt like stepping into a fairytale garden of flavor and charm 💚✨. Every dish BURST with bold, authentic, soul-hugging taste — it’s like grandma’s cooking on turbo mode! The vibe? Pure joy. The food? Mind-blowingly divine. If I could give it 100 stars, I would. I'm OBSESSED. One visit is NEVER enough. I want more, more, MORE!!! 🥹🔥🇻🇳

In 3 words, super good and delicious. My only complaint is that we didn't have enough. When I think about Vietnamese food, this might be exactly what I'm thinking about. There was juicy barbecued meat, fresh vegetables, and flavourful sauces. I do regret to inform that the rice paper didn't come with water nor did the staff give any instructions on how to make it malleable/foldable, so we had like some cave people who never seen a Vietnamese spring roll before in their lives. Not halal 😢😭, no coriander 🌿🍃🌱, minimal seafood 🦞🐟🐠
