Phở, phở, phở! Selection of Hanoi's Legendary Phở stalls

🏅 Ranked second on the list of 20 best soups in the world by CNN, phở is simply a must try while in Vietnam. 🍜 For some, it is an everyday breakfast. For others a quick and easy-to-grab meal at any place and any time of the day. 🤤 For me, also a hangover cure. Hehe. 🕵️ Since there are countless variations and recipes across the country, it is truly difficult to find the best phở. 💯 However, in Hanoi, these are definitely the top spots thanks to their unique flavors and perfect ingredients.

Phở Gia truyền Bát Đàn

@vietnamuncovered

This spot, which has been selling beef phở for over 100 years, is the Old Quarter's legend. There's not much to say other than, "Go try it!" The broth is a little sweeter and more heavily seasoned than other phở places, and the phở noodles are really tender. Served in small bowls, it makes a perfect breakfast. Join along with hundreds of others who queue here since early morning every single day. Opening hours: Morning & lunchtime.

Phở Gà Nguyệt

@vietnamuncovered

If you are looking for phở gà (chicken phở), this is the place to go. Their dishes are balanced in taste and light on the stomach. In the end, you may end up eating 2 portions because it's just so good. Try the more popular dry version "Phở Trộn" here for a unique and truly Hanoian dish.

Phở 10 Lý Quốc Sư

@vietnamuncovered

This place is so famous and popular that its brand has been replicated nationwide in thousands of locations. However, officially, the branch has only 3 restaurants, and this one is the original. Clean broth and wide variations of beef meat make this place special. It's such a small place packed with both locals and tourists. Expect waiting lines to get in during peak hours!

Phở Thìn

@vietnamuncovered

The sound of Phở Thìn is mouth watering enough for many locals. The restaurant first opened in 1979 and since then, has branched out both domestically and internationally to Tokyo and Melbourne. These days, it has become a legend and a proud representative of Hanoi-style phở. Their original recipe, unlike any other, definitely makes this place worth a visit. Opening hours: 6 AM - 9 PM

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Vietnam Uncovered

Available for hire

🇻🇳 Hi, my name is Viet, and I have dedicated the last 9 years of my life to an extremely intense exploration of my homeland - Vietnam. 🏙️🏞️ I have traveled the whole country several times, starting with the main cities and common routes, and ending up exploring countless off-the-beaten-path trails and ethnic villages in remote mountainous areas. 🏍️ As a passionate motorcyclist, I have done all of my trips on 2 wheels, giving me the opportunity to truly experience and be connected with both the surroundings and the people in the present moment. My records show that during the last years, I have spent over 80,000 kilometers and 550 days just on the road, not counting living in several different places across the country or working with the ethnic minorities in the Northwestern region, contributing to a sustainable community-based tourism projects. 💫 I can proudly and with great confidence say that I've seen and experienced a lot in Vietnam and have truly been living my passion - exploring and understanding Vietnam as much as possible - to the fullest, ultimately turning into a destination expert. 🙋🏻‍♂️ 🫴 Now I'm here on a mission to uncover the most authentic travel experiences in this breathtakingly rich country, which is absolutely worth visiting but can be quite challenging for first-time visitors to truly experience its real beauty. My goal is not to produce as many guides as possible, yet to create truly in-depth and trustable source of information. ℹ️ I have years of experience with tour guiding, custom itinerary planning, and consulting for hundreds of travelers, explorers, and adventurers. My maps, guides, and services here on Thatch are mainly focused on those who use cars, buses, trains, and planes as a form of transportation and are planning for "beyond general exploration of Vietnam" in a truly authentic way. If you are interested in motorcycle travel, overland trips, or deep focused expeditions, please schedule a consultation call with me!
