best pho bo at pho lien 

it’s the second morning after our arrival in hoi an.

the night before we had very good dinner at morning glory, where we also had pho. 🙂

that was good but hardly the best.

this morning we had pho too at hotel buffet breakfast. passable not morning glory standard.

pho lien 

the night before, i googled the nice places to eat pho in hoi an & saw pho lien, pho tung, pho xua & hoi an market.

we took the free hotel shuttle bus to tran hung dao outside the ancient city & walked down le loi past phan  chau trinh. found pho lien easily.

it was off hours & we were the only customers. place was clean but looked a bit squalor, i guess most local stalls looked that.

we ordered 2 bowls 40k dong each to try.

it was very good. so we ordered 2 more.

soup was light & clear yet sweet & well scented with the herbs.

it was much better than morning glory & the pho in singapore. beef were fresh & tasty.

we ate many other things afterwards, including com ga, cao lau, banh mi & later the grilled meat (like satay) on the streets.

pho xua

so though we passed pho xua we were not able to try it. but it should be same as pho lien. thus far pho lien remains the best pho we have tried in vietnam.
