Playing on their claim to fame, this joint displays photos of its celebrity guests alongside the glass-encased “president table.” Ordering is straightforward, with most guests opting for the “Obama Combo”, which includes a fried seafood roll, a bowl of the special bún chả and a bia hà nội. The bún chả itself delivers a satisfying blend of rustic flavours, with smoky pork, meat patties, fragrant herbs and fresh salad leaves. Payment is made in cash at the entrance on departure.
