Hàng Chiếu Night Pho Stall
The quaint night pho stall at the intersection of Hàng Đường and Hàng Chiếu has long been a beloved destination for Hanoi’s night owls. Operating from 3 AM to 7 AM, it thrives during the city’s quietest hours. While the streets slumber, this corner buzzes with life as the stall sets up for the night’s feast.
Night pho is a quintessential Hanoi experience.
The stall attracts a diverse crowd: early workers savoring a hearty bowl, night shifters combating hunger, and groups of friends exploring Hanoi’s nocturnal charm. The star here is the beef stew pho, a twist on tradition with tender, flavorful beef stew paired perfectly with the noodles. A bowl costs just 40,000 VND and comes generously portioned. Crispy fried dough, fresh orange juice, and iced tea are also available.
Trần Nhật Duật Night Pho
The name “Phở Thật” (Real Pho) alone is enough to pique curiosity. Open from dusk till 4 AM, it caters to both late-night cravings and early risers. The menu is simple yet sublime: well-done pho, rare beef pho, and beef stew pho—each a masterpiece in its own right.
A bowl of perfection at Phở Thật.
Despite its small size, the stall has been a crowd-puller for 40 years, serving up to 300 bowls nightly. Three large pots of broth simmer continuously, filling the air with aromatic steam. The noodles are tender, the beef slices generous, and the broth rich and golden. Add scallions, lime, chili, and crispy dough for an unforgettable experience.
Hàng Ngang Night Pho
No list of Hanoi’s best night pho is complete without this stall, famous for its exquisite well-done and rare beef pho.
Once a street-side stall, its reputation for flavor drew such crowds that space became a luxury. Night pho culture thrives on taste, not ambiance. Patrons squeeze in, bowls in hand, savoring every bite in blissful ignorance of time passing.
Don’t miss night pho when in Hanoi.
Connoisseurs rave about its authentic Hanoi flavor. The broth, crafted from beef bones and pork marrow, is a delicate balance of spices. The noodles are silky, the beef thinly sliced to perfection. The beef stew pho is equally divine, rich and hearty.
Đường Tàu Night Pho
Since 1968, this stall has preserved the essence of traditional Hanoi pho. Located on a spacious sidewalk, it’s a favorite among regulars, many of whom are served without a word. Open from 6 PM to 2 AM, it offers more than just food—it’s an experience.
Đường Tàu is always bustling.
Originally unnamed, it earned its title from its location beside the railway tracks. Diners enjoy not only the steaming bowls of traditional pho but also the sight of trains passing by—a nostalgic Hanoi scene. The broth is sweet and clear, the portions modest yet satisfying. The rare beef is tender and never dry, making every bite memorable.
Hàng Hòm Chicken Pho
For night owls, the chicken pho at 15 Hàng Hòm is a must-try. Despite its street-side setting, it’s a hotspot for Old Quarter explorers, open from 9 PM to 2 AM.
Chicken pho is another Hanoi delight.
The star here is the chicken, boiled whole to perfection—tender, juicy, and visually appealing. The broth, paired with scallions, giblets, and soft noodles, creates a harmonious blend. Accompanying options include chicken giblets, chopped chicken, and chicken sticky rice, though these often sell out quickly.
