A noodle shop on Trần Quốc Toản

A scalloped glass bowl, two ways to eat it, and a table that is always full — a family noodle shop where the bowl is the identity.

Style: A District 3 noodle shop at 90D Trần Quốc Toản — scalloped glass bowls, red plates, wood tables, and an open front under a wood-slat ceiling.

Story: Hủ Tiếu Nam Vang Liên Hua is the Trần Quốc Toản branch of a family noodle shop: every bowl arrives in scalloped glass, soup or dry, with dim-sum items on the table charged only if eaten. Visitors note a framed photo of singer Gil Lê inside.

Menu: No published menu — ask at the counter when you arrive.

Hours: Open daily 06:00–21:00.

The bowl first

Every bowl here arrives in the same scalloped glass: clear broth or dry noodles, shrimp, liver, quail egg, minced pork, herbs, fried garlic — everything visible before the first spoonful.

Two ways, one bowl

Nước: clear broth, herbs piled high, everything floating up where you can see it. Khô: fine, loose noodles in a seasoned sauce, always with a hot bowl of broth alongside. The decision is the visit.

The tray at the door

Fried breads and dumplings sit ready in the entrance case and on trays — visitors note they are charged only if eaten. The table set is fixed: red plates of greens and fried breads, the shop-branded chopstick wrapper, wood tables.

The room, last

The shop opens straight onto Trần Quốc Toản street: wood-slat ceiling, wood tables, the cake case right at the door, an airy upstairs. Visitors note a framed photo of singer Gil Lê inside — the shop is presented as the singer's family's shop, as visitors tell it.
