Nam Lợi Fish Noodle Soup - A Saigon Culinary Treasure
A Century of Flavor at 43 Tôn Thất Đạm, District 1
This place, Nam Lợi, has been serving up amazing fish noodle soup for nearly a century! If you've been in Saigon a while, chances are you've already experienced this iconic spot. If not, you're missing out on something truly special.
Now, let's be honest, it's not the cheapest bowl of noodles around. Expect to pay around 100k for a portion that might leave a hungry person wanting more. But trust me, the flavor is worth it! The noodles themselves are unique, resembling wider pho noodles or the kind you find in mì Quảng. Absolutely delicious!
And don't forget to try their Pate Chaud – it's seriously good. They have perfected this dish.
If you haven't already, give it a try. It's a unique glimpse into the flavors of Chinese culinary culture, where tradition reigns supreme. They just keep doing what they do best, regardless of how the world changes.
Pro tip: It gets pretty crowded in the mornings. For a more relaxed experience and VIP-level service, aim to go between 1 PM and 4 PM. Just a heads up: they only accept cash, so be sure to bring some along!
