Banh Cuon Tay Ho 2: A Delightful Vietnamese Culinary Experience in Westminster

I was craving banh xeo this morning but the rest of my family was asleep so I went solo to Bánh Cuốn Tây Hồ 2. When I first entered I thought it was interesting that they had pitchers of tea on every table. Then when I got my banh cuon and they didn’t give me any nuoc mam I realized the pitcher must be nuoc mam. Yes, I probably ordered too much but their name sake includes banh cuon so I figured I just had to have it and my banh xeo that originally brought me out here. Yummy place. They also tolerated my terribly accented Vietnamese ordering :-)

This restaurant is called Banh Cuon Tay Ho 2 and it has the same name on Google Map. But the Banh Cuon Tay Ho on Yelp is called Banh Cuon Tay Ho 4 on google map. They are selling the same food and same good quality, but I like this 2 than 4. The 4 has more fashion renovation, looks like a modern restaurant. But the 2 has more ethnic feelings. Compare the menus I took photos of from both restaurants, it looks the 4 is a little more expensive-0.25 dollars for each plate. Once I'm in little Saigon, this restaurant is always an option for me as well as Hui Oi and Brodard. I like the rolled cake, especially wrapped with the tropical leaves and mixed with the sweet chili fish sauce. The rolled cake is so soft and the flavor is that good. The fried shrimp tempura with yam is also good, but don't order the whole plate since it's already included in the rolled cake set. The whole plate will be too much to bite. I gave both 2 and 4 for 4-star or 85 in 100.

Banh Cuon Tay Ho 2 has been my family's go to place ever since I was a little kid. My parents will take me here when I crave banh xeo and banh cuon. I know they have other food on their menu but their banh xeo and banh cuon are delicious. Their banh xeo is nice and crispy. Their veggie platter they bring out with it are fresh and the banh cuon dat biet is delicious as well. Their restaurant has a nice ambience and their staff was friendly.

Very clean! Got the pork and rice. All the lettuce and veggies are well washed! Everything was nicely packaged. Food is good and create prices

Such a good hole in the wall spot for Viet food. Extremely fresh and affordable.

Good food , got my order wrong , hard to find parking.

I have been looking for a more authentic, reliable Vietnamese spot in Westminster and I'm excited to say this is probably my new spot. We got the bun thit nuong and the bun rieu. I love how they just give you a whole bottle of nuoc cham on the table. This is not a super fancy, Instagramy place, nor was the service spectacular. I would call this more of a "hole in the wall" place. But - the food was delicious and quickly prepared. It was also pretty reasonably priced, I think each dish was around $13-$14. I would definitely recommend the bun thit nuong if you are not super familiar with Viet food. I will definitely come back next time to try other things!

The food is so fresh and delicious. Customer service and ambiance is minimal but that's because they're working hard to make good food. I'm a freak for the spring rolls. Good sauce selection. Yummy drinks. I can't stop coming back.
