Bun Rieu Hai Beo

Hanoi


This no-fuss restaurant’s name refers to the ‘fat’ (beo) owner Hai who serves delicious hot bowls of bun rieu (crab noodle soup). Choose your protein – meat, blood jelly or tofu ­– to go with the herbs, rice noodles and dissolving cakes of crushed crab (shell and all) in tomato broth. Dunk in a Chinese donut for 5000d.

By night the restaurant becomes a Korean barbecue.
