[9]
Morning, ladies and gents.
[15]
It's July 27th. The Remembrance Day.
[18]
Actually, our food review has nothing to do with that.
[23]
It's 7:00 AM so I'm trying to take advantage of my little spare time.
[27]
Before going to work, I rush to Go Vap District to show you this new place.
[33]
A very crowded Bun Bo Hue (Hue Spicy Beef Noodle Soup)
restaurant right at the crossroads.
[37]
It is located at 25 Nguyen Van Luong, Ward 17, Go Vap District.
[43]
But this is odd because there's no signs
whatsoever in front of the entrance.
[48]
Not sure if I come to the right place.
But there are lots of customers inside so let's aske.
[63]
We're running out of small bowls.
[65]
One well-done beef shanks.
[67]
We're at the right place guys.
[70]
Bun Bo everywhere.
[72]
There's no sign or name for this restaurant.
[76]
Hi, what's your order.
[77]
- Morning.
- Coming through.
[80]
We sell beef noodle soup here right?
[82]
- No, we sell human flesh.
- Oh dear.
[85]
I heard about this place and wanted to pay a visit
but I got lost because there's no signs at the front.
[89]
We only sell human flesh here.
[92]
Too girly.
[93]
Excuse me, are you an employee or the owner?
[96]
- She's the owner.
- Both.
[97]
Really ? You're the owner?
[99]
And you work with them, too?
[100]
Table on the right.
[102]
- This one is nearby.
- We already sent 2 for such tables.
[105]
You have to help them when it's too crowded.
[107]
Ask other stuffs.
[108]
One dish of boiled vegetables, no water spinach.
[110]
Wait a bit, this one's inside.
[113]
Pork bologna for 62.
[115]
Whoa, this smells so good.
[117]
So nice.
[122]
- Excuse me, what's your name again ?
- It's Truc.
[125]
- Ah, Ms. Truc.
- ... Gau. (Panda = Gau Truc)
[126]
How long have you been selling?
[129]
15 years here.
[131]
- For the inner tables ?
- That's right.
[135]
I may get scolded if I keep on asking.
[138]
They're busy.
[143]
2 pork bologna and more salt in here.
[145]
Just one sec.
[146]
Bring this to customer.
[150]
There, you see this?
[152]
In those little cups are beef shanks.
[155]
The red of fresh.
[159]
And here are the tendons.
[161]
- Will you add more broth, please?
- Yes, I'll add some more.
[165]
So fresh.
[168]
This place should hold about...
[172]
What's your order, Ms ?
[173]
at least 30 tables.
[175]
Sir, your 2 pork bologna is running after you here.
[177]
So this place's capacity alone...
[180]
in my opinion, each morning this place could hold up to...
[187]
the average number of guests arriving and departing is 100, I think.
[200]
- What time do you close ?
- Around 8:30.
[203]
3 small bowls?
[206]
- Table 40, eat here or takeaway dear?
- What are your opening times?
[209]
6:00 AM dear.
[213]
They open from 6:00 AM to 8:30 AM guys.
[217]
Remember this if you want to eat here.
[220]
Because there will be nothing left after 8:30 AM except your empty stomach.
[224]
Single guys are always welcomed.
[227]
From 6:00 AM to 8:30 AM.
[229]
- Do you sell in the afternoon ?
- No, we have things to do.
[233]
They have to prepare for tomorrow in the afternoon.
[236]
Soy sauce with no scallions.
[238]
- Whom is this order for?
- Table 2, bring it out, we didn't write it down.
[242]
There, this is the reason I have to come here early ladies and gents.
[248]
It's 7:30 AM. To be accurate it's 7:10 AM.
[251]
Statements need ground, judgements need proofs.
[254]
Not showing off my watch.
[256]
I have to come early because I heard that they'll close around 7:30 AM - 8:00 AM.
[260]
She said the close time is 8:30 AM but what if the food ran out before that?
[264]
I can't let that happen to me.
[272]
2 big bowls for that table and the next one is theirs too.
[275]
For one person?
[281]
I made it by mistake, but whatever.
[286]
So bustle here.
[288]
Anyone in your family come from Hue?
[290]
- Pardon ?
- Anyone in your family come from Hue ?
[293]
- Hue ?
[294]
- Are these beef shanks ?
- I come from Hue.
[298]
Where's this Diem ?
[299]
- You're from Hue ?
- Yes.
[301]
- Really ?
- I'm not kidding.
[304]
Enough lemon leaves?
[306]
- Ms. Bich comes from Hue.
- Her name's Truc.
[307]
It's OK too.
[309]
- It's Truc?
- Truc.
[310]
I'm 100% Hue.
[312]
- Shouldn't have done it with 1 person.
- 100% Hue.
[316]
Big or small bowl with beef shanks?
[318]
Can you say something using Hue's accent?
[333]
- Is that enough?
- More than enough.
[335]
Is that enough?
[338]
Wow, how could you sing while doing other stuffs like that?
[343]
Now I know why this place is always crowded.
[346]
Because the owner is humorous.
[348]
Am I cute ?
[350]
Your husband must've fallen hard in love with you 15 years ago.
[355]
It's more important the way you choose to live your life.
[359]
- Where is he ?
- There.
[361]
I was busy collecting payments.
[368]
Hot stuff.
[368]
- I heard that this place attracted
many customers thanks to your charming wife.
[374]
It's me. Can't you see I'm smiling all the time?
[379]
What a cute couple we meet today.
[384]
You see, sometimes the taste of your food alone is not enough.
[390]
You also need to be humorous and caring to your customer to keep them coming to your place.
[396]
Let's go get our seats. We can't keep bothering them like that. They have business to do.
[400]
Get some more. 2 small bowls and 1 big bowl with extra soup.
[402]
They may run out of food while I'm chitchatting.
[407]
Lost 2 chairs over there again?
[410]
- Who calls for more pork bologna?
- Me.
[413]
- You want rice with pork bologna?
- Lets sit over there.
[420]
- Here's rice with pork bologna.
- I have 1 big bowl...
[423]
Here I put them in cup.
[430]
We're running out of time.
[445]
I'll have...
[447]
2 specials.
[456]
Guys , from here...
[459]
we can see the price board over there.
[465]
35,000 for 1 small bowl with beef shanks.
[468]
2 extra pork bologna.
[470]
Keep speaking.
[477]
35,000 for 1 small bowl
[478]
40,000 for 1 big bowl with beef shanks
or 1 bowl with beef shanks and tendons.
[482]
40,000 for 1 bowl with well-done beef shanks;
38,000 for 1 bowl with pork bologna. But we order special.
[487]
So we will have everything: beef shanks, tendons, etc.
We'll see later. And it's the highest price here: 45,000.
[495]
Remember the small cups containing beef shanks I've showed you before? They cost 25,000 each.
[501]
I'll have 2 of those for me and my cameraman.
[506]
Man, too crowded.
[508]
Crap! They might have a sell out before my order.
[512]
This is the outside yard.
[516]
When you first enter, there's an in-door zone with roof over your head.
[519]
Go further and you'll get to this spacious area.
[527]
Table 15 first, yeah?
[540]
Yes.
[541]
Our 2 specials.
[543]
2 specials, you hear me?
[546]
45,000 each.
[555]
- Vegetables for table 9.
- I forget.
[557]
Here, 2 cups of beef shanks.
[559]
Nice, thank you.
[562]
I get it right away. Doesn't they look delicious?
[565]
Let's try out this soup first.
[579]
Extremely rich in flavor.
[580]
Very delicious.
[583]
It's so crowded but they don't even have a sign.
[587]
We had a hard time finding this restaurant...
[589]
even though we knew it was at the crossroads
of Nguyen Van Luong St. and Nguyen Oanh St.
[595]
OK, I'll calculate your dishes for payment.
[597]
This soup is too good.
[599]
1 small bowl and 1 big bowl with pork bologna.
[602]
2 small bowls with extra rice?
[606]
Here.
[609]
Fish sauce, fish sauce.
[615]
That's enough.
[617]
Some chili paste for aroma.
[625]
Some chilies too.
[627]
This place doesn't have much chilies.
[633]
Let's put in here.
[636]
2 big bowls.
[644]
- Got it? 2 small and 2 big bowls.
- Hot stuff coming through.
[647]
Hot stuff, hot stuff.
[650]
Right.
[652]
Ladies and gentlemen.
[658]
More chilies please.
[659]
More chilies here.
[661]
The sliced ones.
[662]
OK.
[667]
Vegetables here are a little different too.
[670]
We have...
[672]
cabbage?
[674]
- Salad.
- Lemon grass?
[677]
There's little to no water spinach here.
[685]
Smells good.
[689]
Where's the money ?
[693]
- There's only 1 cup left.
- 2 small bowls here.
[696]
Here, 2 small bowls.
[697]
- Get me a cup please.
- OK.
[701]
My favorite.
[703]
Beef tendon.
[704]
That's 120,000.
[706]
I'll tell you this: Beef tendons...
[710]
contain lots of collagen.
[714]
It helps rejuvenate your body.
[717]
That's something you should remember.
[719]
Especially the ladies, you should have more tendons in your meal.
[725]
Lots of collagen.
[726]
It's 80,000!
[730]
Over here.
[749]
Something's missing.
[760]
Let's call it Bun Bo Ms. Truc...
[764]
or the unnamed restaurant.
[769]
Only open from 6:00 AM to 8:30 AM and that's it.
Not selling for the rest of the day.
[777]
But I understand seeing the customers coming.
[780]
That's 85,000.
[781]
Too much customers, leading to
such overwhelming orders for them to handle.
[786]
Ingredients preparation take whole afternoon.
[788]
Everything must be ready for tomorrow.
[791]
It's not that simple.
[798]
There.
[800]
I'm too full now.
[803]
This is one of the best Bun Bo restaurant I've been to.
[806]
One of the best Bun Bo dish I've ever had my hands on.
[810]
- 2 big bowls...
- That 2 belongs to the guy in Table 14 and that Ms.
[816]
Almost everyone have this when they come here.
[819]
2 small bowls and 1 cup.
[821]
A 25,000 cup of beef shanks.
[822]
Here's your, 1 small bowl is on the way.
[825]
See this ?
[837]
It's soft.
[839]
Soft but still have the crunch.
[841]
And the toughness remains.
[847]
The fish sauce here is special.
[850]
The taste is so nice.
[857]
Because most restaurant will use blended fish sauce.
[861]
But this one in my opinion...
[864]
has high protein.
[868]
OK, 1 extra rice vermicelli.
[874]
To be honest, for old people who are about to hit their 50s like me.
[880]
A cup of beef shanks is enough for breakfast.
[883]
Enough nutrition and you don't have to eat too much.
[886]
This bowl is actually quite big for me.
[889]
I agree that this is a quality dish,
but it's quite big for me.
[893]
This is acceptable for young people.
[896]
But it's too much for me.
[900]
It's huge.
[903]
There's not enough to get it done.
[913]
Get this table's orders now. They've been waiting for too long.
[915]
They have killer soup.
[921]
Tastes like how it is supposed to be.
[928]
That's 2 big and 2 small bowls.
[932]
Ladies and gents.
[936]
So on this morning.
[938]
At 7:00 AM on the Remembrance Day.
[941]
I continue to bring you to this
interesting small restaurant at Go Vap District.
[947]
25 Nguyen Van Luong St., Ward 17, Go Vap District.
[951]
The name of this restaurant is unknown.
[953]
The only name I got from the owner is her name, Ms. Truc.
[956]
And this place has been on business for 15 years.
[959]
Same as before. Same address, same space but lots of customers.
[963]
And please remember that...
[965]
it's not simple to have your dish here.
[968]
You have to get up early because they only open from 6:00 AM to 8:30 AM.
[972]
But they might close off early,
around 7:30 AM - 8:00 AM, if they ran out ingredients.
[981]
So to be able to have breakfast from Ms. Truc
at this unnamed restaurant, try to get here at 7:00 AM as I did.
[987]
Only then you'll be guaranteed with the finest and the tastiest beef shanks.
[993]
Goodbye for now and see you again in my other food review videos.

Bye bye.
