Mr Bảy Miền Tây - Bánh Xèo

Loved it so much my husband and I came back to eat three times. With no end of options in Hanoi it says a lot that we returned as often as we did during our relatively short stay in the city. The staff is warm, friendly and welcoming, and remembered us and our orders. If you don't know how to eat banh xeo they have instructions at each table and the server will also ask if you need directions. The food itself was consistently delicious. I stuck to the seafood banh xeo but my husband tried a few different noodle items and loved them all. You can probably find cheaper places to have a meal (our average bill ranged from 450k - 500k with two drinks, two mains and one "starter" to share between us) but why should you when good food and good people are a guarantee here? I really cannot recommend them enough.

Table service was quick, staff spoke good English and place is clean and well ventilated. The famous Banh Xeo was a little underwhelming, since we had high expectations. The texture was a bit chewy(to me the crispy ones are tastier) and the taste a bit bland. It was very oily as well compared to the other Banh Xeo that we tried. Price is reasonable.

Came here because of so many glowing reviews from food bloggers, and it truly lived up to my expectations. As a Vietnamese pancake lover, I was amazed by the authentic texture and flavor. What made it even better was that they taught me the right way to eat it — such a simple but eye-opening detail that made the experience unforgettable. Just note: payment is cash or transfer only.

Absolutely amazing. You must eat here. There was like a 15-20 minute wait but it was so worth it and I popped into the mart next door to get some beers while we waited in line (you are allowed to drink in public here). This was so amazing that even when we were full we ordered more because the food was excellent. We got the pork mint skewers, and the beef banh xeo (pancake) AND the pork and shrimp. They were both incredible.

Was very happy to find somewhere to eat vegetarian bánh xèo. Atmosphere was lovely as an escape from the rain. Staff were very helpful and there were handy instructions for assembling each bite. Very tourist-friendly and reasonable prices

I was really disappointed with this Michelin-rated bánh xèo place in Hà Nội. The food came out cold and bland. The bánh khọt tasted old and hard, like it had been sitting out for a while — definitely not fresh. The bánh xèo was overrated and too oily; the meat was barely warm and mostly just beansprouts. The nem lụi was the worst dish — it tasted undercooked and we couldn’t even finish it. I honestly don’t understand the hype or the long line. The quality doesn’t match the price or the Michelin recognition at all. Definitely won’t be coming back

This place definitely lives up to its Michelin Guide recommendation! We loved it so much that we visited again to have our last meal in Vietnam here. The Grilled Squid, and Pork with Mint Rice Paper Roll were our favourites. The staff is very warm and welcoming. They seated and served us quite promptly. Pricing is very affordable. The restaurant accepts cash only.

Summer rolls were good. Mekong fish noodles weren’t rly up our street. Ban xeo was crispy but actually found it abit bland & cakey? Wasn’t bad though but think my expectation was too high
