Banh Cuon in Hanoi: Where to Eat Steamed Rice Rolls, Prices and Breakfast Tips

Updated on October 31, 2026

Banh cuon is a thin steamed rice-batter sheet rolled around minced pork and wood-ear mushroom, eaten at breakfast with pork roll slices, fried shallots and nuoc cham dipping sauce. The most-cited address in Hanoi is Banh Cuon Gia Truyen Thanh Van, 12-14 Hang Ga street, listed in the Michelin Bib Gourmand 2026 according to Vietnamese press (Vietnamnet, 2026). The menu runs from 45,000 to 100,000 VND a serving according to a recent Lao Dong article; older articles give 20,000 to 55,000 VND, and a 2026 guide quotes 50,000 VND for another "Gia Truyen" at 14 Hang Ga. Since neighbouring shops have similar names, check the street number and the menu on display.

Place	Why go	Indicative price
Thanh Van, 12-14 Hang Ga	Bib Gourmand 2026, sheets made to order	45,000 to 100,000 VND (2026 press)
"Gia Truyen", 14 Hang Ga	same street, cited in a 2026 guide	about 50,000 VND

Prices do not come from an official menu: the price shown on the spot is what counts.

How to eat it

Go early, between 7 and 9 am: the batter is spread to order and tables empty fast. One plate is enough for breakfast; add cha lua pork roll if you are hungry. Dip it in nuoc cham with a little chilli.

Banh cuon fits well into a breakfast food route: see street food in Hanoi, bun cha and banh mi. To eat safely, read street food and hygiene. To taste several dishes with a guide, see the "Hanoi Guided Food Tour with Train Street Visit" on GetYourGuide. The Hanoi Authority editorial team.
