Cash only. Most authentic spot in 626 to get banh cuon. #banhcuon #vietnamesefood

This place closes at 3:30pm NOT 6pm. I came to this place a lot of times and it was always closed. THEY SHOULD open till atleast 6.

Hai Nam Saigon specializes in Banh Cuon, and it’s definitely worth trying—their signature dish is fresh, flavorful, and under $14 with tax, a solid deal these days. Heads-up: it’s cash only, so no credit card rewards or Franki cash back. Still, most diners come for the Banh Cuon, and it rarely disappoints. Simple spot, great value.

Hai Nam Saigon in Alhambra feels like dining with family—friendly service and a cozy, homey vibe. The space is small and can get packed, especially during peak hours. Food is solid, but note: it’s cash only! Still scratching my head over how to get that 5% cash back from Franki with no card option. Worth a visit if you’re nearby and craving Vietnamese comfort food.

The banh cuon was very delicious but the hu tieu (noodle soup) was a no. Each table gets their own pitcher of fish sauce. I like how the bean sprouts are boiled and not raw. Keep in mind that the restaurant only accept cash or Zelle.

Kids loved it. They don’t take cards here. It’s a cash only….
