Make sure you know what’s tai, tai nam and chin (different cuts of beef) before you order. The store owners don’t speak English so communication may be an issue. Each bowl of pho is priced between 40,000-50,000VND which is really affordable. We read/ heard many good reviews of this place, especially how it offers the authentic taste of pho. The food was not too disappointing, however the broth was a little bland and the beef was not particularly tender. Honestly, it was not our favorite pho that we tried in Hanoi. Try to come by for dinner before 7pm, because that’s when the queues start! There are several tables, but it might be hard to find seating during peak periods. People eat and leave quickly though, and the tables are cleared fast. We visited on a hot evening, which may have made our experience slightly less enjoyable.

The best pho my wife or I have ever had, even after a week in Hanoi. I recommend western foreigners going early in the trip when they're waking up super early as when we went at 630am it was crowded but we could order pretty much right away and get a seat but by the time we finished a queue had built up. Generally the pho broth in Hanoi tastes much beefier and has a lot more fat in it than we are used to but it's so good and this was the definitive version we had in Hanoi. I made mine spicy but my wife kept hers as-is and we both agreed this was the best. Oh and definitely get the little fried dough things, they're amazing and were better here than anywhere else we had (although morning freshness might be the reason there). Basically a churro with no cinnamon or sugar - great as-is or dipped in broth.

For non Vietnamese speaking tourists, go for the Gia Nam at 60,000vnd. It's inexpensive (around £2/$2) and gives you the full experience. Don't forget to ask for 'gway' to dip into your broth. It's super cheap and worth adding to your meal. Let it soak up the broth and get soft before biting into it. The reason why locals love this is because of the meat. You get a lot of the 'nam', which is softer and has a distinctive taste. It's a pleasant taste that isn't gamey in my opinion. I did really enjoy the meat and the broth, but as a spoilt tourist I wasn't keen on the cleanliness and safety of the eating area. I was sat just a metre away from pots of raw meat that was getting an occasional stir with a big wooden rod. The rod was then placed on the floor and reused again and again. So the food is worth trying, but the eating experience is at the very limit of what I'm willing to put up with. Having said that, it's not even the most unhygienic place I've visited in Vietnam! Someone else's review mentioned that it's a place you go in and out of, not a place to hang around in and I totally agree with that. Worth visiting for the food, but temper your expectations.

thursday 9:00am - no wait - dine in - cash saw this pho spot is on the michelin guide and has very high reviews so decided to try it out. the restaurant was full at 9:00am but people eat very fast so we got a shared table. // service // give the order to the man at the counter and pay. they call you when your order is ready. the menu is in vietnamese but there's like four items. our order was ready in under 10 minutes. my only complaint is i'm pretty sure the man gave me a total of 5k more than it should have, but i didn't say anything at the time... // pho tai (55k) // small/medium bowl but more than enough for breakfast. good portion of noodles and meat. i felt the broth/overall dish lacked flavor though. i guess i am used to putting hoisin sauce / sriracha in my pho though. we also got the fried dough sticks (5k) -- like you tiao, you can soak them in the broth. not much flavor on their own but tastes good and was not too oily. this is the only pho place i've tried in vietnam so far so i can't compare, but i'd say the flavor was average, and i was slightly underwhelmed given the high reviews.

I came here around 10am on a Sat morning and the place was packed. Long queue expected at peak hour for sure. Menu is quite simple with either Tái (medium rare sliced beef), nạm (well cooked fatty beef) or mix of the two. I ordered a bowl of mix and had to wait only few minutes in front of the preparation station. It came out as a bowl of fragrance and lively presentation. As traditional northern style, the broth is simply rich, nutritious and clear, a bit sweeter than I thought. Beef is tender and full of earthy aroma. I was a bit unlucky to get the Nạm with lots of fat tho. Anyway, I finished the last drop of soup with satisfation. The place is a bit dark and noisy with self-service style. Clealiness is another downside. In peak hour, it's a bit hard to get a seat, esp you have a big group.

Happiness in a bowl. The amount is enough to feed you for breakfast and lunch. They offer two options of pho: pho tai nam (steak strips and flank strips), pho tai (only steak strips). They also offer Chin which is a deep fried pastry you can dip into the soup (good choice). My personal recommendation is to also get an egg into the soup. Just say with egg... They get it. While you're in line for this delicious bowl of soup and you approach the counter you should already scout a seat. You will certainly share a table with locals. Some people also seem to go for refills cutting the line with their bowls in hand. I don't know if you have to pay for the refill or not. I didn't need it - so meaty. At around 10 am they intend to close until the evening.
