BÚN BÒ HUẾ ĐÔNG BA - Since 1998

BÚN BÒ HUẾ ĐÔNG BA is a local restaurant near the Korean consulate in Ho Chi Minh City that serves bun bo Hue and Hue-style side dishes. The typical order is thick, round udon-like noodles with beef, pig's trotter, and crab meatballs, eaten with lime, herbs, and satay. It has operated since 1998, and at lunch local office workers crowd in. Portions are large even in small bowls and food comes out quickly after ordering, but the broth and dishes are heavily seasoned, so they are hard to handle for anyone sensitive to salt.
