Hủ tiếu gà cá Hà Ký
@travelwithvivxo
Order the dry egg noodles with chicken or try the special if you want both fish and chicken. They will ask if you want thighs or breast. Tip: they will leave Pate chaud pastries on your table for you to try. if you eat it, you must pay. ITS NOT FREE.

Order the combo with tumeric fish and fish intestines (long ca) if you are into that. This dish usually doesnt come with fish intestines in the states.

Bánh Mì Huynh Hoa
@travelwithvivxo
If it's your first time, you must try! This Banh Mi spot is packed with meat. its made for two maybe even three people in my opinion! There's only one kind, the special. Tip: if you dont want to wait in line, order it through Grab Food.
