At 176Bis Co Giang hangs a red sign with gold letters: PHÁT KÝ — Hủ Tiếu Mì. Inside is a proper Chinese-style eatery: steel tables, a glass topping cabinet, the smell of bone broth rising from a big pot. Open 11 AM to 10 PM, every day.

The core is egg noodles — golden strands, blanched just to springy. Hand-folded wontons with pork-and-shrimp filling, thin skins. Broth simmered from bones, clean and sweet. The house menu card lists some thirty items: combination noodles 67k/74k, wonton noodles 64k, dry special noodles 64k — the three best sellers — then the rib-stew line: plain ribs 92k/112k, rib wonton noodles 105k/110k, the fullest bowl 110k/120k.

Regulars at Phat Ky usually order the dry bowl — noodles tossed with cracklings and soy, a separate bowl of broth for sipping. Lunch is busy, evenings are easy. Every photo on this page was taken by a guest.
