I think it's called Cocochine but a Google search came up with nothing.

I was in a hurry and could only glance quickly through the menu but what I saw I liked. There is this coconut milk crepe that I am going back for soon ! It does seem a little more upscale than most Viet. restaurants but the prices were decent. I had the shrimp potstickers and a beef pho . cost was 14. And the potstickers were a large shrimp, wrapped in shrimp paste then wonton then sauted. Yummy!

I'll have to drop in to try it out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A1nh_x%C3%A8o Thu Nov 05 13:54:07 -0800 2009 5157051 20489 marcopolo 3 5159898 Please do and let us know how it is. My favourite Banh Xeo in Calgary is the one at TNK in the NE. It comes with so much fresh herbs there. Although Cocochine is only a few blocks from me so probably worth the visit...
