Story.

Welcome to PHO THIN

The “Phở Thìn Lò Đúc”, or Pho Thin, is a renowned family-run “Phở” restaurant at 13 Lo Duc Street, in the southern fringe of Hanoi’s French Quarter. Opened since 1979 by Nguyễn Trọng Thìn, his place serves only one dish – pho bo tai lan, or half-done stir-fried beef noodle soup.

Though most pho shops in the city offer variant beef parts to put into a bowl of pho: from rare to well-done, boiled shank to tail, or tendon to fatty brisket, Pho Thin sticks to its specialty for the last 40 years. Thus it witnesses endless lines of choosy and fastidious dinners queuing up to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday.

Each day, the aroma from the broth cauldron wafting in the air, the green onions, the sizzling of beef being stir-fried at the kitchen of Pho Thin are the smell, color, and sound tempting both Vietnamese and all pho lovers.
