Bún bò Huế Chimôtê (chính gốc thành nội)

Bún bò Huế Chimôtê (chính gốc thành nội) is a Vietnamese noodle restaurant on Thảo Điền, Thủ Đức, Ho Chi Minh City. The eatery sits inside the 28 Thảo Điền garden courtyard near Oishi Town. The kitchen specializes in regional soups and Central Vietnamese snacks from the ancient imperial capital of Huế. Cooks simmer beef bones for hours to create a clear, aromatic broth.

The signature bún bò Huế features thick rice noodles in a lemongrass and fermented shrimp paste broth. Standard bowls contain tender beef flank, beef shank, pork knuckle, and congealed pork blood cake. Special variations include savory crab patties, pork rolls, and rich beef ribs. Plates of shredded banana blossoms, bean sprouts, and fresh herbs accompany every bowl of noodle soup. Tables hold house-made chili satay and fermented shrimp dip for diners wanting extra heat.

The menu also offers classic Central Vietnamese street delicacies such as steamed bánh nậm and bánh bột lọc. These tapioca cakes hold savory fillings of minced pork and wild shrimp. Sweet corn milk, iced green tea, and traditional herbal beverages round out the drink offerings. The shop sources key spices directly from Central Vietnam to preserve traditional Huế flavors.

The restaurant provides an indoor dining room and outdoor terrace tables. Tall trees and potted plants surround the open garden seating area. Simple wooden tables accommodate solo diners, families, and neighborhood expatriates. The casual venue serves guests from breakfast through late evening throughout the week.
