Banh Xeo Tacos Have Arrived As 5ive Spice Opens Today

Owner Mike Khuu and his staff were putting the finishing touches on 5ive Spice (52 5th Avenue at Bergen Street) when we spoke with him on Sunday, October 25.

The Vietnamese restaurant will be opening Monday, October 26 at 11am.

“People have been looking in the windows, and telling us they’re looking forward to coming in,” said Khuu.

You’ll now be able to sample the Banh Xeo tacos, one specialty the new restaurant will be offering. The dish consists of a traditional Vietnamese pancake stuffed with a variety of meats and veggies. “We’re going back to our roots,” says Khuu. “It’s traditional to eat them with your hands.” Banh mi will also be on the menu.

Khuu says he’s looking forward to the opening. “We’re going to offer organic, high end spices, and some amazing fish sauce.”

So get ready for some banh mi, Banh Xeo tacos, pho, and dumplings. We’ll be sampling the new restaurant and getting back to you soon.
