1. Pho Thin
CallPho Thin, although quite far from the city center and a bit small and old, still attracts many customers. The highlight of this famous pho restaurant is its beef preparation method. Unlike other pho places where beef is usually blanched and then added to the final bowl of pho, giving a light broth, Pho Thin has a rich, fatty taste without being greasy.
A bowl of Pho Thin is rich and flavorful, with tender beef, fragrant garlic, ginger, and just the right amount of sweetness, impressing even those who are cautious of fat. Pho Thin has been in Hanoi for over 30 years, and to this day, it still only serves one dish: rare beef pho cooked in a pan. The richness of Pho Thin's broth sets it apart from others. While it may have more fat and less clarity than some other pho establishments, its delicious aroma and flavor are unmatched.
