Best Bánh Xèo in Chicago

Bánh xèo — Vietnamese sizzling crepes — are a sensory experience. The name comes from the sizzling sound (xèo) the rice batter makes when it hits the hot pan. These crispy, golden crepes are filled with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts, then served with a massive pile of fresh herbs and nước chấm (fish sauce dip). In Chicago, bánh xèo can be found at several Vietnamese restaurants on Argyle Street, where theyre served as a shareable dish for groups or a satisfying meal on their own.
