Banh's Cuisine
If you're in Durham, NC, and searching for a delightful dining experience that gets you the best of both Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine, look no further than Banh's Cuisine. Nestled at 750 9th St, this charming little cafe captures the essence of authentic flavors while offering wallet-friendly prices that make it a must-visit.
Banh's Cuisine specializes in Vietnamese dishes, particularly on their dedicated days of Wednesday and Saturday, where the tantalizing aromas of Chicken Vegetables, Chicken Curry, and Sate Chicken on Stick vibrate through the air. Not just limited to Vietnamese offerings, they also serve popular Chinese dishes like Kung Pao Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken that have earned rave reviews from locals. Imagine sinking your teeth into crispy Fried Wontons or savoring a heartwarming bowl of Soup of the Day, all while basking in the cozy, bustling atmosphere of this family-owned establishment.
Among the standout dishes, customers have particularly raved about the Chicken Curry, though some have found it a tad lacking in flavor. But don’t worry if you don’t find your first choice to be perfect; the vast menu ensures plenty of options to please every palate, and many are eager to return for a second chance – just as Art Than mentioned in his review about his experience.
The welcoming vibe at Banh's is equally as enticing as their menu. Visitors consistently commend the warmth of the staff who treat each customer like family. Whether you are grabbing a quick bite during lunch or settling in for a comforting dinner, you can expect generous portions and a friendly smile. Summer had shared a delightful experience of sharing Kung Pao and Sweet and Sour chicken, calling it “the best value in town.” It’s clear that Banh's is more than just a meal; it’s an experience that cultivates community and care.
While parking can be tricky in downtown Durham, your efforts will be amply rewarded with dishes that not only satisfy your hunger but also your craving for authentic flavors. Customers love the fact that Banh's Cuisine is now card-friendly, as Andrew Dye noted, making it even more accessible to all. Indra Chapman succinctly captured the essence of what to expect with his mention of “good options for budget-friendly meals.”
So next time you're in the area, make sure to stop by Banh's Cuisine, where every plate is served with a side of hearty hospitality. With its charming ambiance, mouth-watering menu, and incredible value, you might just find it hard to leave without planning your next visit!
