addicted to the bun! and spring rolls! best restaurant in chicago! soo tasty

Every place pho place i go, i look for bun bo hue. This time I came here specifically for the bun bo hue. This is as close my perfect bun bo hue, but sadly it wasn't I prefer mine to have more lemongrass flavor and it was absent here. What was here though was the pork blood and pork feet, only the most authentic places actually serve these.

The spring roll here wasn't anything special. It's a spring roll, same as it is everywhere else. On the other hand the durian shake was surprisingly good as i dont even like durian all that much.

Definitely come here for the best bun bo hue I've had in chicago so far.

Hue is a city located central Vietnam. Bun Bo Hue means Beef Rice Noodle Soup that is specific to Hue city. Why am I telling you this? My father is from Hue and  I'm familiar with what a bowl of Bun Bo Hue looks like. I came in today and ordered in Vietnamese. The old man responded with Hue accent. His wife is also from Hue! Onto the noodles, this place is superior to Hai Yen in the bun bo dept. Check it out! Pho is overrated any way.

Btw for those if you who want spicier taste, there is a container with chopped chilis. I don't know if they have different spicy levels, at least the old man never asked me any way.
