Comments:

  • This was my favourite soup dish of my quick 2 day trip to Saigon; it’s got no frills, they only serve 1 dish, and it’s always busy with locals

  • I loved having the experience of sitting on a small stool and crushing some noodles on the side of the road

  • The balls of meat were quite large and there was a nice pork blood cube in my soup as well - a pretty harmonious dish when you eat it with fresh herbs

  • I would definitely come back especially because of the price being so cheap
