Ms Ly's Hanoi corner
Bún chả Hà Thành by Hanoi Corner — a neighborhood spot in a District 1 alley. Everything below comes from the venue's Google Maps listing.
Bún chả Hà Thành
Charcoal-grilled pork patties and pork belly in sweet-sour fish-sauce broth with green papaya — eaten the Hanoi way: dip each bite into the bowl.
Phở gà, sa sùng sweet
The chicken broth is sweetened with dried sa sùng — the kitchen's signature touch that Hanoian diners recognize at once.
Ms Ly, a Hanoi native
This is a selective budget mom-and-pop spot: fixed alley premises (not a cart), owner-run — Ms Ly cooks and serves herself, and shares the venue's everyday stories. Her no-MSG traditional recipes go back to her childhood, and Hanoian expats in Saigon love this place as the best bún chả in town.
18B/17 Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai
Fixed premises in a District 1 alley — the lacquer-red sign, Vietnamese flags, woven rattan lamps and yellow walls. Follow the red sign and you're there.
