STORY
The proclamation outside the door
Do Phu is an alley broken-rice shop at 339 Le Van Sy, District 3 — honey-marinated ribs, unblended broken rice, and a proclamation board the owner posted after the 1001st recipe question (kenh14, 2018).

The proclamation board
Asked for the rib-marinade secret once too often, the Do Phu owner posted a board outside to answer everyone at once (kenh14, 2018). The recipe stays in the kitchen — diners just eat.
ALLEY 339
The retro shophouse in the alley
The shop sits in 339 Le Van Sy alley — a unique retro space with photogenic corners, per diner reviews. Slightly tricky to find (tunaucom123).
BROKEN RICE
Unblended, honey-marinated
Rare in Saigon: broken rice cooked from unblended grains — fluffy yet soft, never dry. Lean ribs with a touch of tendon, brushed with honey, grilled just right — golden and fragrant (mytour.vn, hcmtoplist.com).
