Banh Cuon Phuong Nga - S San Diego

One of the best banh cuon place in San Diego. The bun rieu here is also amazing. This place is to go only and sometimes there's an hour wait.

Been missing banh cuon and stumbled across this place. They have a limited menu and specialize in banh cuon dishes. I ordered the special order banh cuon plate which comes with three different types of meat, side of veges (bean sprouts, cucumbers, and herbs) and sauce. The banh cuon was good but a bit too peppery. The restaurant was hard to find but its located in the corner plaza with a supermarket. Service was quick and my food was ready in less than 10 minutes.

Love their banh cuon!! This establishment is a local favorite and conveniently next to a great Vietnamese grocery store. I will say sometimes there's a bit too much pepper for my taste that it overpowers the other flavors going on. I love how much wood ear mushroom they use and they really load on the toppings. Their bun rieu is nice too! Overall, great experience and you can always call ahead to lower your wait time.

Been eating their banh cuon here for years thanks for to amazing in-laws who are regular and loyal customers here! They've recently increased their variety banh cuon tray from $45 to $50 but still tastes as delicious as ever! I love their basic plain rice paper noodlePros:-Very delicious and thin rice paper noodle-also serve with minced pork and mushroom options-fish sauce dipping is delicious-banh cong is also superb! -also can buy sticks of Vietnamese ham on the side -also have a variety of other Vietnamese munchies on their menu-fast and efficient service-food wrapped efficiently and neatly-greens included with order is always fresh -party trays are convenient and good prices -shared parking lot Cons:-no longer dine in option Tip: Must call to order in advance and they will also give you an estimated pick up time (due to their increased popularity and many orders)

I am not Vietnamese but I LOVE Vietnamese cuisine. My friends who are Viet though recommended this place and we all went to try their Banh Cuon. This location was tucked away in this plaza that was hard to see from the street. Even though there were no in house dining, I noticed that this establishment had a constant influx of takeout orders from Vietnamese people so it must be quite good and authentic!The Banh Cuon was delicious, we ordered the combos. It's basically this light rice noodle paper wrapped around various meat/vegetable fillings!So yummy and comes with vegetables and spicy fish sauce.Would definitely recommend this place !! 5/5
