Banh cuon, Vietnam’s fermented rice rolls stuffed with pork or chicken mince, are the name of the game here. While Sunshine institution Xuan Banh Cuon has long championed the dish, this spot is the first to bring it to the city centre.

The namesake dish – thin, pliable and tender – is a must-try, but the noodle menu deserves equal attention. Banh da – thick, ribbon-like red rice noodles commonly eaten for breakfast in northern Vietnam – are served in a rich soup with house-made crab paste, meatballs and fish or squid cakes. For a dry noodle option, try the vermicelli with nem ran – crisp and hearty Hanoi-style spring rolls.
