Pho Thin is considered as one of the oldest restaurants serving Pho in Hanoi. With a distinctive savory stemming from secret recipes, a bowl of Pho Thin can awake your taste. Travelers are likely to be impressed by the broth which is redolent of smoky ginger and the noodles absorb its flavor without becoming mushy. Chef Thin, who founded this brand, once shared: “Some people think preparing Pho is simple. They start a business with a few kilos of beef, noodles, a small pot and gas stove, but they have no idea about the intricacies behind a tasty dish. In fact, a bowl of Pho requires much more. You need meat from at least five or six different parts of the cow: flank for tái (medium- done), haunch for chín (well-done), shoulder for tái gầu (a mixture of medium and well- done beef, where the well-done beef has veins of fat), thigh for tái nạm. You must cut and clean the meat the right way. If you want a tasty broth, you must use the correct proportion of different kinds of bones and then add salt and fish sauce at just the right time. Pho Thin opened in 1949 and always appears in the rankings of Pho restaurants. This gourmet is now run by the founder’s eldest son, who closely guards the family recipe.
