"It's cheap, tasty, and widely available at all hours. Just look out for a mass of people on plastic stools -- or try a tried and tested favorite: Pho Thin."

Lonely Planet

"Negotiate your way to the rear of this narrow, rustic establishment and sit down to some excellent pho bo (beef noodle soup). A classic Hanoi experience that hasn't changed in decades."

Graham Holliday

"After my first bite (slurp?), I knew this was not just any pho. It tasted entirely different from any I’d ever tried: the beef was lean and tender, the broth flavourful and aromatic."

Elisabeth Rosen

"Pho Thin, on tree-lined Lo Duc in the historic French Quarter, offers an unusual take on the ubiquitous noodle soup. Its reputation stems from an innovation owner Nguyen Trong Thin made when he opened the cafe in 1979. Thin, however, decided to stir-fry the meat with garlic before adding it to the soup. This seemingly minor change completely transforms the flavor."

Dung Phan

"The broth may end up being a little greasier than the standard pho but a topping of dedicate green onion creates a subtle dialogue between these ingredients. And even if you dine at a counter barely wide enough to hold your bowl, you’ll feel implausibly happy."

"And let’s not forget eating pho with a few sticks of Chinese cruller, then you will definitely understand the way Hanoians eat pho as a culture."

"One of the best pho in Hanoi."

Piumi Rajapaksha

"Do not forget to order yourself some 'quay' dough sticks to dip into the broth and eat along with the noodles."

"Please do not forget 'quẩy' – a accompanied indispensable dish that brings a touch of refinement to your meal."

"Famous for over 30 years, the noodle soup of Pho Thin still occupies the hearts of many Hanoians. In addition to delicious noodle soup, the beef is fried on a high-temperature furnace, so it brings fresh medium flavor combined with the fragrance of the ginger."
