Lonely Planet review for Binh Soup Shop

It might seem strange to introduce a noodle-soup restaurant as a sight, but there is more to Binh Soup Shop than meets the eye. The Binh Soup Shop was the secret headquarters of the VC in Saigon. It was from here that the VC planned its attack on the US embassy and other places in Saigon during the Tet Offensive of 1968. One has to wonder how many US soldiers ate here, completely unaware that the staff were all VC infiltrators. By the way, the pho makes it a worthwhile stop for lunch or breakfast.
