The exemplar of the Hue school
Song Anh at 28A Ban Co is named in the “3 truong phai” write-up as the exemplar of the Hue-style school: broth with little ruoc, clear; fatty crab cake with the red-smear face; big gio, generous meat. Branch 2 (36 Nguyen Thuong Hien) closed per the owner’s notice — the main branch at 28A Ban Co serves daily.
