About Xuan Banh Cuon

Sunshine regulars bypass standard menus for Xuan Banh Cuon’s ultra-thin steamed rice sheets, made from scratch in the back kitchen. Expect delicate wrappers packed with minced pork and wood ear mushrooms, served piping hot alongside herbs and punchy dipping sauce. The kitchen specializes in rare northern street fare—notably Hai Phong red noodle soup (bánh đa cua) and rolled phở cuốn stuffed with smoky grilled beef. The room is straightforward and chaotic, with minimal English spoken at the counter, but the swift bowls of bún riêu and northern-style chả nem make ordering by number well worth the trip.

  • Artisan Rice Rolls: Delicate, ultra-thin rice sheets rolled to order with minced pork, wood ear mushrooms, and crispy sides.
  • Regional Northern Fare: Rare Northern specialties include red noodle soup (bánh đa cua) and fragrant crab bún riêu.
  • Budget Street Eats: Generous plates of freshly rolled noodles and crispy spring rolls mostly sit under $20.

  • Specialty Northern Menu Highlights

    Features rare northern street dishes like fresh-steamed phở wraps and distinctive northern spring rolls seldom served elsewhere.

    gladly travel to Sunshine for their freshly steamed rice paper roll "Pho Wrap" $12 because we can't find this dish in Footscray, Richmond or Springvale!

  • Bánh cuốn

    For first timers order their specialty 'Banh Cuon' - fresh rice rolls with minced prawn, pork and black fungus mushroom served with a side of green herbs and fish sauce.

  • Phở cuốn

    The steamed rice paper is smooth, almost see through thin and melts in your mouth! The filling has lettuce, usual Viet herbs and a choice of smoky grilled pork or beef, we've tried both and both are yummy.

Before you head over

Practical advice on ordering, menu choices, and transit for visiting this casual Northern Vietnamese eatery.

  • Order by Menu Numbers

    Staff primarily communicate in Vietnamese and English can be limited; you can easily point to dish numbers on the printed menu when placing your order.

  • Opt for Rolled Beef to Avoid Raw Side Greens

    If you prefer not to eat raw herbs and mixed vegetables separately on the side, choose the beef rice rolls (phở cuốn) where the meat and greens are rolled inside hot wrappers.

  • Transit and Parking Logistics

    Conveniently situated next to Sunshine Station, the venue has limited immediate street parking, though a larger parking area is situated down the road.
