Phở 10 Lý Quốc Sư
Hoàn Kiếm Ward, Hanoi, Vietnam
Phở 10 Lý Quốc Sư is the specific Hoàn Kiếm branch at 10 Lý Quốc Sư Street, a long-established central Hanoi address that the MICHELIN Guide distinguishes from other branches and from lookalike venues elsewhere in the city. MICHELIN lists this branch separately as “Phở 10 Lý Quốc Sư (Hoàn Kiếm)”, notes that it is one of three branches in Hanoi, and explicitly warns diners about imitations. That matters for visitors: this entry is not a vague reference to a broader brand, but a verified, operating noodle shop at a confirmed Old Quarter-area address. What earns it a place in this ranking is not ceremony but execution and usefulness. MICHELIN describes a compact corner kitchen visible through a glazed partition and a menu built around multiple phở options, including different cuts of beef. The venue’s appeal lies in how directly it presents one of Hanoi’s defining dishes: a focused, low-frills meal in a busy, accessible part of the city. The official site for the restaurant group also lists the 10 Lý Quốc Sư branch and gives daily opening hours of 06:00–22:00, while MICHELIN currently shows broadly similar daily service windows around early morning to late evening. For travellers wanting a recognised, central phở stop with a clearly established identity, this branch is a practical and culturally representative choice.
