"90% takeaway and 10% restaurant—four fold-out chairs, a small table, and a counter are doing some heavy lifting at Hoa Phuong. But the flavours coming out of the kitchen of this tiny Vietnamese spot speak for themselves. Every order—be it bún salads with sizzling lemongrass-infused meats or slurping portions of bún bò huế—is taken, prepared, and cooked by Hoa Phuong’s sole owner and chef. Patience is of the utmost importance in this little cash-only space and, once you taste that bún bò huế, you’ll understand why the people quietly waiting inside are so reverential." - jake missing, sinead cranna
