"Mythic diaspora restaurant cliche bingo. Unassuming exterior? Check. One woman cooking? Check. A few stools. Check. Small blackboard menu and odd opening hours? Double check. The biggest check is that Thewner Phuong’s bun bo hue puts almost everyone else’s to shame, a deep fiery broth with a marine funk from fermented shrimp past, it’s herbal, citrus, spicy, umami all in harmony, with well cooked beef meat and Hue sausage. Chilli oil status: Ask for more shrimp paste." - Jonathan Nunn
