Needless to say, it’s impossible to meander a block in Hanoi’s old quarter without bumping into a ‘pho’ counter. However, Pho Thin has probably enjoyed an unparalleled reputation throughout the city over the past 30 years. The restaurant is a tribute to classic design with whitewashed floors and shared tables. More interestingly, to increase storage space and serve guests at peak hours, the owner equips a stone table with a wall. From pho noodles to slices of beef sautéed with garlic, rich broth and assorted herbs, Pho Thin is one of the few places today that can preserve the authenticity of this breakfast staple. Slurping a steaming hot bowl of pho won’t cost too much for hungry diners (from 60,000 to 80,000 VND).
