Minh Phung

Banh hoi Minh Phung is my go to spot to get fresh banh hoi. My family has been eating the banh hoi from Minh Phung for a while now and it's our go to banh hoi. The price for the banh hoi is actually cheaper than if you buy it at supermarket or at the bbq place. The price for banh hoi now as of 11/3/25 is $3.50.

This is a small shop that sells fresh banh canh and banh hoi with 4 parking space. I always come for fresh banh canh, but this review is for banh tet. Customer service is always great here. They are always very friendly. This was the first time I got banh tet for Lunar New Year and it didn't disappoint. I got the banh tet man and it was delicious. I love the coconut milk in the rice. There was too much mung bean for me but overall, it was flavorful. Will definitely come back next lunar year.

The steamed rice cake is only available on weekends. It has a hint of coconut cream and the toppings on it are heavenly. They have a small parking lot in front and there are always people coming and going in the shop.

I've gone here a few times to pick up traditional foods such as Banh Tet and Banh Chung for the Lunar New Year/Tet. It's a bit of a hole in the wall place, on a rather commercial/industrial street in bustling Little Saigon. Parking is extremely limited here - there are four spots in front of the bakery that is supposed to be for the bakery, but during the days leading up to Tet, this place is nothing less than a zoo getting in and out, and usually people end up grabbing those spots anyway whether or not they are actually shopping at the bakery. In any case, Minh Phung offers a selection of Banh Tet and Banh Chung - the cylinder shaped rice cake, and the square shaped rice cake. The "man" (does not refer to gender) version has mung beans and pork belly as it's filling - while the "chay" version is vegetarian. This bakery also offers the "3 mau" version - which stands for three colors - and is quite aesthetically pleasant. I don't know whether it's traditional, but I do know that the 3 mau version is more tedious to make because it requires three layers of different colors - so it might be better for gift giving. Sadly, since Tet is just a few days away, all their "chay"/vegetarian options were sold out. For Banh Tet/Banh Chung, if you buy enough, they'll give you a nifty reusable shopping bag. Friendly clerk - I was helped by the owner's son. I usually pick up enough to hand to close family/friends - and save one for myself to indulge in. The little bakery offers other traditional food items such as cha bon (dried shredded pork that you can put in rice porridge/congee), dua chua (pickled veggies). They take both cash and card.

I just saw an Instagram Reel about someone making some bánh chưng and using a waffle iron to make it crispy. I was intrigued. I've never heard of bánh chưng nor had it before. But, it seems similar to a Chinese tamale (zongzi or doong). I Yelped and found Minh Phung as a place that sells bánh chưng. It's in an industrial strip mall tucked away in a residential area. I went in and the lady that helped me told me they only had one bánh chưng left since it was about a week past the Lunar New Year. So, she sold it to me for $15. She offered and I didn't even consider asking. Normally it's $26 so I got quite a deal. Such a nice lady. Thanks so much!

Im obsessed with Bánh Tầm so whenever my dad made Bì for me, Minh Phụng is my go to to pick up some banh tam. It's the cheapest in town. It's what you normally expected from a small Vietnamese store/shop. They sell most common items and yet they are all good valued.

Best banh tet with a perfect rice to filling ratio. It was still warm when I bought it! Location is slightly hidden, about a block behind the Asian Garden Mall, with a tiny parking lot of only a few spaces. They take credit card. Staff is friendly and fast!

Got their Banh Chung and Gio for Tet and they were delicious. The Banh Chung was moist, chewy, and packed with lots of stuffing! Love how they gave us a reusable bag!

Very disappointed. Order 4 boxes of the noodle early in the morning, they told me to come at 11:00 am and everything is ready for me to pick-up. About 11:00 am I stopped by to pick-up; guest what? My order had been sold to another person and nothing available for me to pick-up. At that moment I really pissed-off and wanted to yell at them; but I did not, just stepped out of the store and told myself that I will never come back to that store anymore. Why they treat their customer like that??? Very UN PROFFESIONAL MANNER.

Only tried the banh chung. Was very good. Friendly cashier serving up the goods and even came with a nice reusable bag.
