From Le Van Sy bridge, turn left to Hoang Sa (District 3, HCMC), the aroma of shrimp paste spreads everywhere, leading diners to the crowded beef noodle shop.

Each bowl of hot, steaming beef noodle soup is quickly brought out by the staff, attracting even those who just stop by.

Don't forget the bowl of pork fat.

With such "weird" opening hours, many office workers complain that they just finished work and already have... nothing to eat.

Bun bo bo Hoang Sa is basically the same as most other bun bo shops in Saigon. When coming to the shop, almost everyone immediately orders a 'full' bowl of bun bo. Such a bowl includes crab cakes, pork rolls, brisket, tendons, beef balls, pork leg, and no toppings are missing.

The ham here is diverse with all kinds: boneless ham, tendon ham, hoof ham, lean ham - whatever type you like, just order and we'll have it.

Before picking up chopsticks to enjoy, diners should not forget to ask for the bowl of pork fat. The pork fat is crispy and golden, adding a bit of richness to the bowl of noodles, making it very attractive. While picking up noodles, picking up meat, and biting into the pork fat, all worries seem to disappear.

Open from 5pm, close at 2am

The restaurant opens from 5pm to 7pm. From 4:30pm, some people try to come early to enjoy the famous bowl of beef noodle soup.

Ms. Huyen Chi (District 8) shared: "This was my favorite restaurant when I was a student. The broth here is very rich, the meat is tender and especially the crispy pork fat pieces, giving an interesting feeling when eating. It is really worth trying!"

Despite the crowds, the staff still greeted the diners warmly. They were always busy meeting the needs of customers, both for dine-in and take-out.

The online community has been praising this noodle shop for the warm and attentive attitude of its staff, making every diner feel welcome.

"The staff is friendly, quick, and attentive to customers. For example, I didn't know there was pork fat, so my tablemate asked for it. The staff saw that and brought it to me. I'm so happy!"

"The restaurant is very fast, it takes 1-2 minutes to order even though it's very crowded", some "winged" comments on Google Maps.

On Foody, Ngan Cao said: "I have eaten at many beef noodle shops in Saigon but I still like the taste here the most."

Sang Le praised it as wonderful and shared: "The noodles are delicious, especially the spring rolls are much better than many other places I've eaten. The space is quite airy, motorbikes can easily park in. The staff is extremely cute, just visit once and you'll be satisfied right away!".

It's not hard to find a delicious beef noodle shop in Saigon, but to make it special like here requires sophistication in every step of preparation.

From the rich broth, fresh meat to crispy pork rinds, everything is carefully selected. It is these small details that make Hoang Sa beef noodle soup an "unmissable" destination for food lovers.
