Bún Chả Hà Nội 26 — bún chả & sea-crab spring rolls in District 1

The shop sits at 8A/9C2 Thai Van Lung, District 1 — a fixed alley storefront, not a cart. Reviewers write that their families have eaten here since their mothers were in secondary school; at lunch today, the room fills with the neighborhood's office workers.
