Bun Cha
20 Ta Hien St.
Hanoi
From the From the May 2008 Food & Wine Go List
This downscale spot in the tourist-friendly Old Quarter is the cult favorite for <em>bun cha</em>, a lunchtime dish that consists of barbecued minced-pork balls in fish sauce. Diners receive an array of extra ingredients to throw in, from cold vermicelli noodles to lettuce, mint, bean sprouts, coriander and morning glory (<em>rau muong</em>). The chef will often yell to the vendor on the other side of the street for the perfect finishing touch—ice-cold beer brewed daily.
We loved: Signature .
Insider tip: It's best to get here before noon; food regularly runs out soon after.
