Again, it&#8217;s not the cheapie $1 dish you can find elsewhere and will set you back just over $3, but it is very decent &#8211; and yes, a hat tip to the chef for the tender, fat-free slices of beef that I had in my bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is touristy and can get very busy at times, but if you really want to try a decent Pho without facing some jail time on the ol&#8217; crapper, give this place a shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><figure><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d7838.985240040001!2d106.69444530687882!3d10.773531634984877!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x31752f3f234639e1%3A0x82e9aa6192f04de5!2zUGjhu58gMjAwMA!5e0!3m2!1sen!2s!4v1568180524378!5m2!1sen!2s\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"cb-alert cb-white\">If you&#8217;re in Ha Giang to do the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gogogovietnam.com\/ha-giang-loop-3-days-of-amazing-views-people-food\/\">Ha Giang Loop<\/a><\/strong>, check out <strong>Pho Maison<\/strong> on the outskirts of the city for a truly delicious Pho experience! <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/JwFQKYoN3o39Sb2H6\">Find it here on Google Maps<\/a>. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the must-try Vietnamese dishes is, of course, Pho.
