 Many people said happily, going to eat “pho suffering”, “pho pho” because the restaurant did not have a table, only chairs when eating a bowl of hot pho.

To enjoy this special bowl of pho, diners have to go deep into an alley and go to the terrace.

Come here, do not expect to have a high table to put the bowl of pho on, then enjoy the best, but one hand holds the bowl, the other hand holds the chopsticks, the noodle soup is sobbing.

That is the style of eating “pho bung” in accordance with Ha Thanh style, many diners say happily, even though they have to “hunchback, tired of pillows” because they sit low, but it is fair.

Diners have to bring the bowl of pho while eating and sagging because the restaurant doesn’t have a table

Eating pho here is very “miserable” because having to carry a bowl of pho hot, tired from beginning to end because there is no table … but the guests coming here are very happy to “enjoy” that suffering.

Because the pho here has a delicious, rich taste, the broth is sweet, clear as “spring water”, fragrant. Plastic noodle cake, beef is both lean and fat, thin, very soft. When eating, diners often order more yellowish, crunchy, eating with pho water is second to none.

Perhaps because of these advantages, diners do not care about the “minus points” of the space and seats of the restaurant, not afraid of difficulties, afraid of climbing on the terrace to sit and sag pho.
