Pho Real
Pho Gia Truyen
49 Bat Dan | Old Quarter, Hano
Pho, the fragrant dish of rice noodles topped with thinly sliced meat and anchored in a rich broth, is Vietnam’s answer to soul food, and nowhere is it more beloved than Hanoi. You’ll see locals on every corner, slurping it for breakfast lunch and dinner, from makeshift cafes and roadside stands. But if it’s the city’s best you’re after, find your way to Pho Gia Truyen, a plain storefront in the old quarter that’s known for its delicious brisket and voluptuous stock.
