What's special about pho here: The special feature that has made the restaurant famous is its renowned "tai lan" pho
(stir-fried rare beef pho) with a characteristic and unique flavor that customers often call "burnt pho." This is because the fresh beef, after being marinated, is stir-fried quickly over a hot pan of sizzling fat and high heat, creating a fragrant aroma of garlic and ginger combined with a characteristic "burnt" touch from the flames.
Customers' reviews:
Thùy Dương (Facebook User): "70.000 VND/bowl, lots of onions, lots of meat, it must be said that it's crowded."
Duong Le (Google User): "75.000 VND/bowl with an extremely generous amount of meat, onions,... For someone who likes strong flavors like me, this is a quite suitable place, fragrant with garlic, stir-fried rare beef, and extremely rich broth. If you are used to eating pho with a light flavor, this might not be for you. The price for such a high-quality bowl of pho is worth it, I've eaten here twice already hehe."
