The story
A small, long-running fish cake noodle shop in an alley at 113/3 Nguyen Chi Thanh in Hai Chau. Bowls come with thick, chewy fish cake in a lightly sweet broth that suits local taste. Beyond bun cha ca, the menu covers bun rieu and mackerel and tuna noodle soups, and the small room gets packed and warm at lunch.
Open for more than 50 years across two generations, with origins before 1975. It sits in an alley off Nguyen Chi Thanh street and serves cha ca and bun ca.
Two generations; origins before 1975.
