Rice rolls, paper-thin, since 1961
Bánh Cuốn Tây Hồ 127 at 127 Dinh Tien Hoang, Da Kao, District 1 — a Hanoi bánh cuốn house in the heart of Tan Dinh: each batch hand-steamed paper-thin, pork and wood-ear filling, finished with the famed tinh dầu cà cuống. The owners serve in áo dài. Open daily 05:30–21:30.
Half a century by hand
No machines, no rush — Tây Hồ 127 keeps the 1961 way: thin batter, steam, and the steamer’s hand.

Tây Hồ rice rolls
No published price board — the most-ordered rolls described here, prices never invented.
Pork & Wood-Ear Rolls
The classic: paper-thin sheet, pork and wood-ear filling, crisp fried shallots.
Egg Rolls
Steamed with an egg layer — rich, soft, served hot.
Shrimp & Pork Rolls
Sweet shrimp-pork filling — a morning favorite.
The Cà Cuống Drop
The cà cuống oil drop in the dipping sauce — the house’s famed aroma since 1961.
Áo dài by <em>the steamer</em>
Since 1961, the hand-steamed sheets and the servers’ áo dài have stayed the same — the story of a Tan Dinh family.
A Hanoi house in Tan Dinh
In 1961, a Hanoi-style bánh cuốn house opened at 127 Dinh Tien Hoang — in Saigon’s Tan Dinh quarter.
Hand and steam
No machines: rice batter spread thin on cloth over the steamer, lidded, left to the steam — then rolled hot on the spot.
The two house signatures
The owners serve in áo dài; the tinh dầu cà cuống drop seasons the dipping sauce — the two things that make Tây Hồ 127.
