Phở Hằng Nam Định
Nam Dinh beef pho in the heart of District 10 — open 7:00–21:00 daily.
Tai lan, high flame
The two most-ordered bowls — 55k tai lan is the star, 50k beef shank the second signature.
Wok-seared beef pho
Beef flash-seared over high flame, ladled over hot pho — a Northern way of cooking rarely seen in Saigon.
Beef-shank pho
Springy beef shank with tendon — the shop's second most-ordered bowl.
Properly Northern
Diners note: free extra noodles/blanched bean sprouts, a cheerful owner, a Northern crowd — "unmistakably Northern".
Seared over high flame
Beef tossed fast in a hot wok, then ladled over the bowl — tai lan, a Northern technique few Saigon shops do.
The second signature
After tai lan comes beef shank — springy tendon, exactly the Northern taste.
A properly Northern joint
An old joint in alley 252 Ly Thuong Kiet — diners note free extra noodles/blanched bean sprouts, a cheerful owner, and a Northern crowd.
Open 7:00–21:00
Every day, morning to night — never miss a bowl.
