The restaurant "Original Hue beef noodle soup" (Cau Giay, Hanoi) is one of the restaurants that retains almost the original flavor of Hue beef noodle soup.
Mr. Tran Quang Ky (Cau Giay, Hanoi), the restaurant owner, said he has been open for more than 8 years.
“I went to Hue to find a teacher who was originally from Hue to learn how to cook beef noodle soup. He guided me for a year, that’s why I’m very confident in my restaurant’s recipe for Hue beef noodle soup,” Quang Ky shared.
The owner said that the biggest difference between authentic Hue beef noodle soup and Northern beef noodle soup is the broth. The broth of authentic Hue beef noodle soup is usually spicy and sweet, while the broth of Northern beef noodle soup is lighter. Although he adjusted the flavor to better suit Hanoi diners, he still tried to cook according to the recipe as close to the original version as possible, to preserve the flavor of authentic Hue beef noodle soup.
A full bowl of Hue beef noodle soup includes beef and crab meatballs, beef, sliced blood and a piece of pork leg. The broth at the restaurant is simmered from beef and pork bones along with pineapple, lemongrass and many other spices. In particular, the highlight of the broth is the characteristic shrimp floss flavor. The broth is simmered for at least 18 - 24 hours.
On average, Quang Ky's "Original Hue Beef Noodle Soup" restaurant sells more than 200 bowls per day. The restaurant serves a variety of dishes such as: special Hue beef noodle soup, full bowl, crab cake bowl, well-cooked beef bowl... In addition, there is also clay pot fish noodle soup. The price of Hue beef noodle soup at the restaurant ranges from 35,000 - 55,000 VND/bowl.
The owner said that, besides focusing on the flavor of the Hue beef noodle soup, he also always pays attention to customer service attitude and food safety and hygiene issues.
Ms. Phan Thi Anh (Dong Da, Hanoi) - a customer who came to enjoy Hue beef noodle soup at Quang Ky's restaurant, said: "This is the first time I have come to the restaurant but I am very satisfied because I see that the bowls here are blanched in clean boiling water, so I feel much more secure when eating."
Mr. Tran Duc Manh (Cau Giay, Hanoi) is a long-time customer at the restaurant and said: “I have been eating here since the first days of opening the restaurant. What impressed me most was the fragrant broth with the smell of shrimp paste, the sweetness from pineapple and stewed bones. A bowl of Hue beef noodle soup is very filling and the price is also reasonable.”
