Ba Hanh (the owner) serves the modern adapted Pho version with chicken. This shop only opens when the sky is dark (after 6pm). All tables and chairs are set up on the pavement. You can have the traditional soup type but this place is most famous for its dry Pho where the broth is separated from the noodle. They have a special mixing sauce that is secretly hidden under a good serving of Pho and chicken. The price is about 45,000VND (~$2)

Their spot is very easy to neglect, just a roadside one-person stand and three small tables with stools right next to it, but their banh mìs are incredible. The bread is indeed fresh and perfectly baked, the veggies crispy, and the pâté and meats fantastic. The best thing is each customer gets a free glass of delicious iced Vietnamese tea (tra da).

Shopping

Dong Xuan Market is the largest market in Hanoi and has a wide array of products for sale over four floors. It is a rough-and-ready type of market (some might even say ‘dirty’). However, head up the stairs and you will find cheap printed tees, bolts of fabric, school uniforms, luggage stalls and much more, all available at wholesale prices. It is quite an experience, even if you only leave with a pair of cheap sunglasses and a Vietnamese conical hat
