Off from the main drag, this simple shop is run by the owner-chef, affectionately known as béo ơi or "fat boy" by regulars, who come in droves during lunch hours. The menu features generous portions of Hanoian home-style cooking, including bún riêu cua, a flavoursome tomato crab soup topped with crispy deep-fried tofu. Order a couple of sides for a complete meal. Or go with friends and opt for a hot pot dinner with the tasty soup as a base.
