The one bowl to order

Phở bò tái nạm: rare beef and brisket in the clear, beefy broth, with quẩy (fried dough) to dunk

The line to expect: A line on the pavement from 6am; it moves fast because the menu is three bowls. Beat it: go before 7am or mid-morning.

The Hanoi bowl people cross the Old Quarter for: a deep, clean beef broth and nothing else on the menu worth asking about. You queue, pay, and carry your own bowl.

5 hr (40 min hands-on) · 6 bowls. Phở is all broth: beef bones simmered with charred onion and ginger and a few warm spices, then poured boiling over raw sliced beef so it cooks in the bowl.
