Pho, one of the most popular traditional dishes in Vietnam, can be found everywhere - from humble street stalls to classy hotels. Rice noodles are served in a bowl of beef or chicken broth, with thin slices of beef or chicken and herbs or green onions. Pho is often accompanied by sliced lime, fresh red chilies, bean sprouts, and chili sauce. There is a saying "Don't say you have been to Hanoi if you haven't tried Pho".

Here are some standout places to taste Pho in Hanoi.

Pho Thin (13 Lo Duc Street)

The restaurant only serves one dish: Pho Bo Tai Lan (Phở Bò Tái Lăn) but it is always full of people. The special thing of Pho here is that the beef is stir-fried quickly with garlic and it is added to the noodles before the broth is poured over the top. One bowl of Pho costs 50,000 dong and you have to pay in advance.

Pho Ganh (Hang Chieu Street)

Pho Ganh is sold by a street vendor from about 3:30 a.m. to 6 a.m. at the intersection of Hang Duong Street and Hang Chieu Street. The seats for customers are just small stools beside slightly higher plastic tables. Pho Ganh is so delicious; its broth looks like pure water, but it has bold flavor of soft sliced beef. Pho Ganh is sold with quay (quẩy) and iced tea.

Beef and chicken in a bowl of pho are cut into thin slices.

Viet Nam is famous for many delicious kinds of food such as spring rolls, seafood, Pho and Che as well. Of all, I like Pho the most. Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup, usually served with beef or chicken. The soup includes noodles made from rice and is often served with Vietnamese basil, mint leaves, lime, and bean sprouts that are added to the soup by the person who is dining.

            Vietnamese people love Pho and so do foreigners. I have a friend from England. Her name is Anna. She has come to Viet Nam for three years. Anna works as an English teacher in Ha Noi.
