Banh Ghoi
A banh ghoi is like a meat patty filled with pork, glassy noodles, mushroom and seasonings. A plate of three served piping hot in this fine little place is a tasty treat on a cold day. Tourists are starting to eat here but the friendly woman who runs the joint clearly values her regular patrons, and standards remain as high as ever.

Once you've experienced it you'll understand why some can't start their day without a bowl.

Pho Thin

Just be prepared for a down-home pho -eating experience: order yours on your way in, elbow your way into seats, and kick aside the little piles of tissues at your feet. Within seconds, the aromatic steam rising from your bowl will remind you why you came.
