PHƯỢNG OXTAIL PHỞ

One dish made this name: slow-braised oxtail, glass-clear tendon, broth sweet from the bones. Two sisters cooking to their mother’s recipe — right on the corner of 25 Hoang Sa.

One house dish

Oxtail phở — not a side dish. It is the reason this shop exists.

Bones, not powder

Clear broth, honest sweetness — as the menu board says: sweet from the bones.

Open from 5:30

Every morning. Mondays close early at 2:00 PM.

The house dish

This shop’s craft is the oxtail

Anyone can cook phở. Braising an oxtail to exactly the right softness, tendon translucent but never falling apart — that is a craft.
