"A tomato based crab rice noodle soup, beef and sausages sometimes are added. Add fresh herbs and Khue (a fried doughnut) on top! You can get this at Bún riêu cua Hàng Bạc."

"For standard bun rieu, check out 11 Hang Bac, reputed to be among the best in the city. Pull up a stool at the bench, and your steaming bowl will arrive promptly, served from the simmering pot at the front. Pop in your fresh herbs, lettuce, chilli paste and lime."

"I just love eating authentic local dishes on the street. Noodle soup is a common breakfast item in Vietnam so we enjoyed this delicious bún riêu cua by the sidewalk on our last morning in Hanoi."

Penny Wong

"Freshwater paddy crab and shrimp paste that’s served in tomato broth. A breakfast staple amongst locals."

Jimmy Dau

"My mother always said that eating too much meat is not good for a healthy body so eating tofu, crabs and tomatoes could be considered a healthy alternative am I right? Bun Rieu Cua on 11 Hang Bac Street has been dishing out this colourful dish for over 50 years and has become one of the Old Quarter’s Bun Rieu institutions."

"I do like her little house, her bowl of soup and the fact that she does not promote her product at all. I will be back, again and again."

Thanis Lim

"Famous place for Bun Rieu Cua which uses crab paste to make their crab broth. It’s lovely to watch the lady scoop up the fragrant crab broth. Ahhh. Lovely, lovely stuff."

Marianne Rogerson

"It was fascinating to watch her hands swiftly dipping into each bowl, liberally sprinkling our soup bowls with various spices and embellishments. The resulting dish was a piping hot bowl of Bun Rieu Cua – a tomato noodle soup topped with crabmeat."

Andrea Chanman

"This was the perfect breakfast / early lunch dish. The lady wielding the ladle in this shop really knows what she’s doing. What you get is a bowl of thin rice noodles swimming in a broth made from tiny rice paddy crabs."

"If you are a big fan of seafood, don’t forget to try bún riêu when visiting Hanoi. Address – 11 Hàng Bạc Street."
