A Da Kao neighborhood staple — a high score for a two-shift pho shop.

Tips for your visit

  • Avoid 10:30–13:30 — the shop takes its midday break — you'll only find the door shut.
  • Late-night bowl — after 21:00 the shop quiets down — a rare calm night bowl in D1.
  • Order the evening-shift bowl — the end-of-day broth is the richest — every connoisseur picks this hour.

Two shifts, two kinds of light, one bowl of pho — in Da Kao for 30+ years.
