Phở Chào

We went around 2pm so there was no wait. I ordered the chicken pho and it did not disappoint. Despite its simplicity as a dish, the flavours were on point; the broth was clean and clear and noodles were very fresh. Would revisit whenever I get a chance to go back to Saigon.

these guys have hit michelin guide for 2023 and 2024! and well worth the accomplishment too! the owner lady is super nice, very accommodating too! we called ahead to see if they were open - of which they said theyll open longer just for us to arrive! one of the dishes you have to try is their Pho-tine its poutine! fried chips with cheese curd and a pho beefy broth gravy. winner winner!

Mama Dung started out in the northern city of Nam Dinh in 1986 armed with her grandmother's recipe for a light, clean and pure broth. Fast forward nearly 40 years and she has established herself amongst the elite as a pure genius in phở-novation with her small but powerful menu of signature dishes. I can confirm that the phởtine is a must try! Not poutine and not pho but a combination of the two, golden french fries are topped with melted cheese curds, carrots, cilantro, onions and a phở gravy that is moorish. The side serving of beef broth for dipping brings this dish to another level and together is nothing short of outstanding! The miến lươn niệu is rich and full of incredible flavour and the cơm rang dưa bò surpassed basic fried rice with beef expectations. But what surprised me was Mama Dung's own gà tắm mắm sốt that was unforgettable.. The fried chicken had a perfect crunchy and crisp skin with a juicy and tender centre and flavoured in a sweet and sour caramelised fish sauce that sets it apart in the world of VFC! With a bib gourmand under her belt two years in a row for good quality and good value cooking, one needs to include incredible hospitality too! Mama Dung is a queen of phở but she remains humble and genuine in her love for feeding the people - Vietnamese or Westerner, you are welcomed with a smile, fed like you're family and parted with a hug and for that she is phở-nomenal!

This might have been one of the best (value and taste) meals I've had in Vietnam. Highly recommend the Photine - such a unique and incredibly well executed dish. This restaurant is well deserved to be on the Michelin guide. The aunty who runs the shop puts so much love and care into the meals and you can really taste it. The single fried chicken was a massive piece, super juicy, crispy, light and with a magnificent sauce and herbs. Lovely ambiance, atmosphere and music. Highly recommend coming here.

Came here for dinner with my partner and enjoyed it very much. Great service, the guy who served us spoke amazing English and he was so funny. My partner originally ordered the beef noodle dish but they were out so we both ended up getting the pho bo nam. He got a large and I got a small - our server said the difference was really just in the amount of meat. Broth had such good flavor, beef was good. We both also ordered tra tac and it was soooooooo good. I love tra tac and this is definitely one of the better ones I’ve had - not too sweet. 50k for my small pho, 70k for the large, and 15k each for the tea. On a previous visit my partner tried the pho-tine and really liked it. Good take on poutine fries. I haven’t tried it but I will be back to try again another time.

Excellent food - nice and tasty!! Great service from Chau who explained all the sauces and condiments and made recommendations on the menu. On a cool dark side street full of activity. So good we came back again the next day - the beef stew was amazing thank you Chau!

One of the better Michelin-listed restos in Vietnam.  And unlike most of the others, it is not overpriced. Located just off a section of Binh Thanh ward where there are a lot of foreign restaurants. Picturesque place.  And the waiter serving us spoke good English (which made ordering easy). I read in some of the reviews that this is the best Vietnamese food in Saigon.  Well, it would be hard to argue against them. PRO TIP:  There Photine is must try!   French fries topped with Vietnames beef, cheese and herbs.  Yum!

I ordered a bunch of food. I went here after seeing it was a Michelin, and it turned to be disappointing. But i could feel they are doing the best they can and try and make up for their mistakes. The pho poutine is worth trying for once
