While other beef noodle shops in Hanoi often have clear broth, Au Trieu beef noodle shop is characterized by its fatty broth.

Michelin Guide highly appreciates the "daring" pho tai here. When customers order, the owner slices the meat and uses a knife to pound it hard, flattens it, and then places it on top of the blanched pho noodles, quickly ladling in the rich, fragrant broth.

This method retains the sweetness and freshness of the beef.
