Set on a bustling street corner, this modest eatery with indoor and outdoor seating has a lively atmosphere. The star of the show is bún riêu: rice noodles (thin, thick or flat) in a tomato and crab broth. The mildly spicy, naturally sweet broth has good depth and pairs well with generous toppings of fresh whelk meat and minced pork that soaks up the broth. Do like the locals and add condiments – but start with a modest dab of the pungent shrimp paste.

Since the 1990s, this unassuming stall has been serving what many locals consider to be the best cơm tấm (broken rice dish) in town. Their most popular version is steamed broken rice topped with pork chop marinated in a secret sauce and perfectly grilled over charcoal, along with pickled radish and sweet and sour fish sauce. There is a chicken version as well.

At this true gem in the bustling city, the chicken phở is nothing short of amazing. The essence of its deliciousness lies in the rich, aromatic broth, made by slow-cooking chicken and pork bones for 3-4 hours. The tender chicken slices and rice vermicelli are also divine.

This phở shop has been around since 2008 and the owner Mr Hoang is justly proud of his clear beef broth that takes over 12 hours to make. Feel free to customise your beef noodle soup by ordering tendon, flank, minced beef or even a raw egg on the side. Every bowl comes with garnishes like coriander, basil, lime wedges and onions. For drinks, try their monk fruit herbal tea made with over 10 different herbs.

Bún Thịt Nướng Hoàng Văn

Noodles

₫

At this family-run spot, the modest interior is neat and orderly. The one dish on the menu is bún thịt nướng: with cold rice noodles, grilled pork, meatballs and crisp spring rolls, lifted by a light yet flavourful, tangy dressing, it is an antidote to the city's humid climate.

Phở Bò Phú Gia (Nhiêu Lộc)

Noodles

₫

This shop specialises in beef noodle soup – choose between sliced beef, brisket, or both. As opposed to raw beef instantly blanched in the hot broth, its signature phở tái lăn is topped with wok-seared garlic beef, alongside heaps of chopped scallion, onion and coriander that impart rich aromas. If you fancy the brisket, we recommend the phở dặc biệt. For a different texture, dip the fried dough sticks into the broth before sampling.

Esta

Asian Contemporary

₫₫₫

Featuring a bar where guests can observe every step of the culinary process and interact with the chefs, Esta promises an elevated dining experience. The menu draws on fusion Asian influences and the chef's Vietnamese heritage. One dish stands out: the local mallard duck, air-dried for seven days and char-grilled to achieve crispy skin and tender meat. Served with a house-made duck jus, it is packed with meaty notes and has a subtle hint of lavender.
