Cafe Hoang

Cafe Hoang in the West Argyle Historic District serves a lot of great dishes, but it’s their bún bò Huế that keeps us coming back here all the time. This spicy, flavorful beef noodle soup has strong notes of lemongrass and chili that help mellow out the beefy richness of the broth. The rice noodles are thick and round, and slippery, yet firm. The variety of cuts of beef and pork in the dish also adds a ton of depth.
