Phở Dậu
Open at 5 AM, shutter down at 1 PM
The shop’s teal shutter is both the storefront and the clock: up before dawn, down at 1 PM. Nearly 70 years, a single shift.
One alley, one shift
Since 1958 — the teal shutter, the red sign, and the northern bowl with no raw herbs.
An alley awake at 5 AM
Since 1958, alley 288 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia has been packed from 5 AM: the teal shutter + red "QUÁN PHỞ DẬU" sign, plastic stools spilling into the alley.
Northern roots: the pickled-onion plate
Pho Dau keeps the northern custom: NO raw herbs — only the signature pickled-onion plate. Clean taste, none of the southern sweetness.
Shutter down at 1 PM — done
Nearly 70 years, a single shift: up before dawn, down at 1 PM. Come late and it’s gone — there is no afternoon shift.
Come in the morning — not the afternoon
Mornings only. After 13:00 the shutter is down — don’t come in the afternoon.
