We share our favourite spots in Hong Kong for this hearty and steaming traditional dish just phở you
With its vibrant street food and diverse traditional specialties full of robust flavours and refreshing accents from its liberal use of herbs, Vietnamese cuisine is well-loved not only in its native country, but also abroad. Good news for anyone in Hong Kong: there’s no need to travel to Phú Quốc or Hanoi just to enjoy a good bowl of phở.
From hole-in-the-wall hidden gems to luxurious restaurants within a hotel, here are the spots where you can find the best phở in the city—according to our Tatler editors. Where will you for for your next bowl?

Le Soleil
I have a soft spot for Le Soleil in the Royal Garden Hotel. The restaurant takes its phở broth seriously—steeping the soup with its secret combination of spices and ingredients for hours before it’s served to the diner. The set and promotional menus get updated regularly, but the classics are always on the a la carte menu. If you’re headed that way, try the off-menu baked rice with crab and garlic in Ho Chi Min style as well, and make sure you top it off with a Vietnamese coffee before you leave.
