Decent Banh Xeo — nothing more, nothing less

Banh Xeo at this place was fine. The subtly sweet and spiced flavour was there but not distinguished. star anise broth was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Vietnamese cuisine shows French colonial influence alongside traditional Southeast Asian techniques. The a Hoi An restaurant setting was generic rather than immersive. fresh sugarcane juice was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Banh Xeo it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
