Xeo Yum

"Hidden in the middle of Midtown’s Conservatory food hall is Xeo Yum, a food stall specializing in bánh xèo. Even better than the delicious little savory rice crepes and puffy pancakes happening here is sitting at the small bar and watching those little works of art materialize right in front of you. Frying pans get doused with golden batter, layered with pork belly and shrimp, and the crepes fry up until the edges get slick and crispy, transforming into a hot bánh xèo. Ah, the magic of food chemistry. What to order: bánh xèo or bánh khọt" - chelsea thomas

"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
