1Overview of Nha Chung banh can shop
• Address: 13 Nha Chung, Da Lat, Lam Dong
• Opening hours: 14:00 – 21:00
The reason Banh Can Nha Chung is called that is because it is named after the street where the shop is located. The location is very easy to find because it is right on the street front so you won’t have to worry about getting lost. And if you get lost, just find a crowded place with lots of people going in and out, then you’ve come to the right place! However, you need to pay attention to opening times! Nha Chung is only open from 2pm onwards, so don’t keep this place as a “breakfast place” or you’ll make a big mistake.
In the past, Nha Chung banh can had not yet been repaired so it looked quite old. However, if you come to Banh Can Nha Chung now, you will be surprised by the “transformation” of the restaurant. The space is cleaner and more spacious with tiled floors and brightly painted walls.
Because the restaurant’s parking space is very small, there is always no space left. If you come by car, you can park your car on the side of the road. Because it is always crowded, Vietnamtravelio recommends that you ride a motorbike or walk if you live near Nha Chung, do not take a car because it will be difficult to find a parking space!
Most people appreciate the service at Nha Chung. Being used to the bustling flow of customers, everyone is very focused on working so that the hot banh can can reach the customers as quickly as possible. The owner and staff here are very friendly and hospitable. Even though it’s always crowded, Banh Can is always served quickly so you don’t have to wait. The shop offers door-to-door delivery and free shipping of 5 portions or more. Therefore, if you are afraid of crowds, you can call Nha Chung to place an order.
2Is Banh Can at Nha Chung delicious? What do people say about banh can here?
Banh Can is a very simple cake with an uncomplicated process but the taste is “no joke”. To make this cake, you need a banh can oven made from terracotta to retain heat for a long time and make the crust thin, crispy, and fragrant with the smell of baking.
First, the owner will put the prepared rice flour into the mold, make a pleasant sizzling sound, and then add quail eggs or chicken eggs depending on whether you order them. If quail eggs will be added straight in, chicken eggs will be mixed separately with a little seasoning before being added. Each type will have its own deliciousness. If you want to eat a cake with a layer of fatty, rich eggs, you can choose to eat quail eggs, while chicken eggs will have a milder smell, the texture is almost the same as when you eat grilled chicken eggs, suitable for those who do not like the fishy smell of eggs. . After that, just close the lid and wait until the cake surface is hot and crispy, the owner will take it out, put it on a plate and you can enjoy a famous Da Lat delicacy.
The owner here is a player of the “soft-boiled egg” system, so the grilled can cakes are also baked in that style. Unlike other banh can shops with evenly cooked eggs, at Nha Chung the banh can still retains the soft egg filling. Taking a bite, you will feel the fatty taste of the egg flowing in your mouth, mixed with the sweetness and saltiness of the fish sauce. The crust is crispy, fragrant with the burnt smell of baked bread, the inside is soft, spongy, and with the added fat of the egg yolk, it’s truly “burnt”. One piece of cake is 40,000 with 5 pairs of cakes – Not a cheap price.
There are two types of dipping sauce at Nha Chung: seasoned fish sauce and fish sauce. Nha Chung’s fish sauce is mainly diluted fish sauce, sweet and salty like many other places. However, the point that makes the brand is that there are countless types of toppings – Young mango, shumai, fried onions, minced chili, onion fat… Listening to this makes my mouth water. The sausage is seasoned to taste very well. A very large piece of shumai, with one bite you can feel the taste of meat filling your mouth, eat it with fish sauce, a piece of mango and feel “heartwarming”. However, you also need to note that the dipping sauce will be charged separately, 10,000 VND/cup!
In the cold weather of Da Lat, drinking a sip of hot soy milk and eating a piece of banh can will warm your stomach! Soy milk is mildly fragrant, less sweet and is served hot. Don’t drink it too quickly because it’s delicious or you’ll get burned!

Therefore, it becomes my overall choice when I crave a simple breakfast. Furthermore, this place has succeeded in investing a little in a clean and airy seating area.” Ben – a local guide reviewed about 1 year ago.
“Delicious Banh Can in a typical Vietnamese restaurant. There is no English menu, but we only ordered “two portions” and received 5 (10 halves) of banh can and a bowl of sweet broth for 35k. Definitely a dish worth trying in Da Lat and will definitely come here again.”
