Bánh Cuốn Tây Hồ 127
A rice-roll shop founded in 1961 and run by the founder's family, now a Bib Gourmand.
The Restaurant
Bánh Cuốn Tây Hồ 127 was opened in 1961 by Tran Thi Ca, who came from Ha Nam in the north. Customers named it after a nearby temple honouring the reformer Phan Chau Trinh, whose pen name was Tay Ho. The shop moved to Dinh Tien Hoang Street in 1978, and a 1965 photograph of its founder still hangs in the kitchen, according to VnExpress.
Her daughter-in-law, Tran Thuy Loan, has worked here for more than 30 years and now runs it. The rice is soaked overnight, ground and steamed on site, and the rolls are cut into pieces and topped with fried shallots, with bean sprouts and a sweet-and-sour fish sauce. Pork sausage and fermented pork rolls are available, as are vegetarian options.
Good to Know
The shop earned a Bib Gourmand in the MICHELIN Guide Vietnam 2026. See the Ho Chi Minh City page for more places to eat.
