It’s a good life
This pho place is one of the highest recommendation both online and word of mouth.
Lines are long so be sure to be there early to avoid disappointments as it usually sells out by late morning. I was in Hanoi for 4 days and only managed to make it during the 3rd as i woke up late during the first two days! Eat and go place so be sure to finish up your meal and leave as there is a long line of people waiting behind.
The pho is great and is different if you are used to the southern taste. However, it has its own distinct taste. Pair it up with some fried crullers (quay) and you’re good to go for the day. Caution, the chilis are spicy!
PS. Not sure if you can order drinks there because i dont see anyone ordering drinks though. Went to the roadside stall opposite the restaurant to cool down with a glass of cha da after breakfast. It’s a good life.
