Pho Xua
Description
Pho Xua is the kind of small family-run spot where the food is better than the setting has any right to be. The pho is serious, the bún chả comes loaded with noodles, meat, and broth for around 70,000 VND, and the beef salad is the sleeper hit most people overlook on the first visit.
Staff will actually show you how to eat each dish properly, which sounds unnecessary until you realize it makes things taste better. The whole operation runs fast – no sitting around waiting while your food goes cold.
This place suits anyone watching their dong but not willing to compromise on flavor. Three visits in three days is not an unusual outcome (it happened, apparently more than once).
