About Banh Cuon Ba Oanh The Original Store Marrickville

Locals crowd Illawarra Road for Northern Vietnamese rice rolls steamed to order. Banh Cuon Ba Oanh moves with raw sidewalk tempo—tight fold-up tables in the laneway, zero fuss, and a distinctive quán cóc rhythm. The kitchen sticks to its specialty: thin rice sheets rolled around minced pork and wood-ear mushrooms, landing tableside within minutes alongside charred grilled pork, herbs, and warm dipping broth. Diners do not linger for long chats—they eat fast and finish on a glass of iced Vietnamese coffee.

  • Made-to-Order Bánh Cuốn: Freshly steamed rice noodle sheets rolled to order with fillings like minced pork and wood-ear mushroom, grilled pork, prawn, or vegan options.
  • Sidewalk Laneway Seating: Compact fold-up tables set along the footpath and laneway capture the informal, high-turnover atmosphere of Hanoi street food stalls.
  • Classic Vietnamese Drinks: Traditional iced cà phê sữa đá and pressed sugar cane drink balance out the savory, quick-fire meal.

Why Diners Choose Banh Cuon Ba Oanh

Plan your visit to Marrickville for made-to-order Northern Vietnamese rice rolls and electric street-side dining.

  • Dedicated Bánh Cuốn Specialization

    Rice noodle rolls are steamed fresh to order rather than served from an expansive generalist menu, resulting in exceptionally delicate, silky wrappers.

    We came here specifically for the Rice Rolls (Banh Cuon) and they were perfect—silky, soft, and fresh.
