Pho Chua Lang Son, Hanoi's Bun Oc, Hai Phong's Banh Da Cua, and more — these intriguing and mouth-watering dishes have received a flood of praise on international travel forums when talking about Northern Vietnam's cuisine.
Beef Pho
Taste Atlas – a renowned and reputable website dedicated to cuisine, containing information on nearly 10,000 dishes, 9,000 restaurants, as well as documents and research from culinary critics around the world – offers an authentic review of Hanoi's Pho. In Northern Vietnam, Pho Bo is a ubiquitous dish. In Hanoi, you can enjoy delicious Pho from street vendors, casual eateries, upscale restaurants, and even from mobile carts. Pho is typically consumed as breakfast, though it can be enjoyed at any time of the day, and it never gets old thanks to its uniquely irresistible flavor.
Indeed, not only has Pho Bo captured the hearts of Vietnamese people, but it also easily wins over international visitors. With its fragrant and sweet broth, thin, chewy noodles, fresh and tender beef, topped with aromatic herbs, blanched onions, chili vinegar, and fresh greens, it creates a perfect flavor profile that can’t be found anywhere else.
Today, Hanoi’s Pho has gained worldwide recognition, becoming famous and appearing in countries such as Japan, the United States, Australia, and anywhere else with a Vietnamese community.
Hanoi Snail Vermicelli
After Pho Bo, Hanoi Snail Vermicelli is the second broth-based dish to earn recognition from Taste Atlas.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that Hanoi Snail Vermicelli is the pinnacle of Hanoi’s culinary artistry. This dish captures the essence of simple, everyday flavors while showcasing the care, skill, and creativity of the chef behind it.
The delicate charm of Hanoi Snail Vermicelli is evident in the sweet aroma wafting from the small kitchen. When you take a bite, you’re momentarily stunned by the light, tangy broth that touches your tongue, followed by the spicy kick of chili oil. This is perfectly complemented by the rich flavor of the snails, the smooth tofu, and the fragrant herbs... it truly creates a dish that excites the taste buds. Hanoi Snail Vermicelli comes in many variations: cold snail vermicelli, crab vermicelli with snails, banana and tofu vermicelli, crispy vermicelli... all are easy to eat and can satisfy hunger at any time of the day.
Lang Son Sour Pho
Once a dish enjoyed only during holidays and special occasions as a unique appetizer, Lang Son Sour Pho has now become a widely promoted and beloved dish due to its distinct flavor. With the rise of the tourism industry, it has captured the hearts of food enthusiasts far and wide.
Breaking away completely from traditional Hanoi Pho, Lang Son Sour Pho features thicker noodles paired with char siu pork, crispy fried pig's stomach and liver, roasted duck, thinly sliced sausage, roasted peanuts, fried onions, fragrant herbs, and a tangy sauce, all mixed together like a salad.
Hai Phong Crab Noodles
In Hai Phong, the bustling port city, you can enjoy Crab Noodles at any time of the day, all year round. It’s the perfect meal whether it’s morning, noon, afternoon, or night.
Hai Phong Crab Noodles is a vibrant dish that brings together color, aroma, and flavor. The deep brown of the noodles mixes with the fresh green of herbs, the golden hue of fish cake, crispy fried onions, crab roe, peeled shrimp, the red of tomatoes and chili oil, and the dark color of leaf-wrapped meat rolls. When you take a bite, the hot broth ignites your taste buds with a perfect blend of sweetness, creaminess, sourness, spiciness, and umami, creating an unforgettable sensory experience.
In addition to the aforementioned dishes, the hot pot cuisine from Northern Vietnam is also highly praised by Taste Atlas for its skillful blend of various spices, creating a unique and delicious flavor that can’t be found anywhere else in the country.
