The xóm rhythm

An old apartment block has its own rhythm: street cries, motorbikes, someone's kitchen smells — eating on the first floor, the mì quảng tastes even better.

Tips

Climb the stairs, find the signboard — The quán is on the first floor (lầu 1) — don't hesitate, just take the old block's staircase up.
Ask about today's herbs — The herbs come from the homeland — ask what's in today and eat it with your bowl, the proper way.
Come mid-afternoon for a calm bowl — Open all day 10:30–21:30 — mid-afternoon is quiet, the best time to sit, eat, and listen to the xóm.
