Pho, a particular gift of Hanoi, Vietnam is as austere as a classic Burgundy. With only $2, you can taste the complex flavor of Pho. Coming to Hanoi, you may find Pho in every street corner of this city but you may not know exactly some most famous brand names of Pho Hanoi.
Pho Thin
Pho Thin has been opening for over 50 years and has become one of the most popular phoshops in Hanoi where innumerable Hanoians come for their breakfast.
This eatery only serves one dish: sautéed beef noodle soup. The most astounding character of this dish lies in the fat of the broth. Thin slices of meat after being blended with ginger then sautéed in a hot pan will have a sweet, greasy taste and redolent smell.
Customers may worry about greasiness of the broth at first but after the first sip of the broth, they could not resist enjoying it. The broth is aromatic with mushy noodles, meat, and ginger.

Pho Vui
Pho Vui, located in the Old Quarter, serves sautéed noodle, beef stew noodle, noodle soup with eye round steak and well-done flank, etc.
If it weren’t for the tables full of people and the kitchen that starts inside and spills out onto the sidewalk, this Old Quarter spot, with white walls, stainless-steel surfaces, and excellent beef, could be confused with a butcher shop. The broth is simple, elegant and clear. A bowl of pho is topped with a lot of meat, scallions, and onions.

Pho Bat Dan
The irresistible flavor and traditional cooking process are the reasons for Pho Bat Dan being an authentic Pho in Hanoi. A bowl of pho is filled with beef and clear broth. You can’t either find lemons, or thai basils, or bean sprouts; you can only find vinegar since the owner explained that Hanoi ancient pho used vinegar to keep the taste of pho. Vinegar must have no garlic because garlic will decrease the taste of the broth.
The broth of pho Bat Dan is somewhat saltier than other kinds of noodles but that taste lures visitors since it is blended with elegance of bone broth, sweetness of slices of meat and acidity of vinegar.
Coming to this place, you need to pay first then take a bowl, wait in a long queue and serve yourself. You need to wait for a while and come early since it’s sold out by 10:00 am but it’s really worth.

Pho Hang Trong (Beef fresh noodles on Hang Trong pavement)
Pho Hang Trong is one of the most special noodle eateries in Hanoi since there are no tables, just small stools. You need to hold the bowl on your hand or in case it’s too hot, you can place the bowl on the other stool. The price is quite cheap ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 VND. Selling only from 17:00 to 22:00, this street vendor is always crowded.
A bowl of Pho tastes really amazing with sweet and redolent broth, soft slices of meat and rice noodles. Fried breadsticks served with broth is really good.
