Pho Mien Ga Ky Dong – A Hidden Gem for Chicken Noodle Lovers in Ho Chi Minh

If you're craving a comforting bowl of chicken noodle soup in Ho Chi Minh, Pho Mien Ga Ky Dong is a must-visit. Tucked away in a bustling part of the city, this humble eatery specializes in phở gà (chicken pho) and mì gà (chicken egg noodles), delivering rich, aromatic flavors that keep locals and travelers coming back.

 

The Food - Phở Gà (Chicken Pho): The broth is the star—clear, fragrant, and deeply savory, simmered with chicken bones, ginger, and subtle spices. The tender slices of chicken are perfectly cooked, and the rice noodles soak up the broth beautifully. A squeeze of lime and a dash of chili elevate each bite.

Mì Gà (Chicken Egg Noodles): For something different, try their egg noodles, which have a delightful chewiness. The broth is lighter than the pho but equally flavorful, topped with shredded chicken, scallions, and crispy fried shallots.

Side Dishes: Don’t miss their trứng non (young egg) or extra chicken parts like liver and gizzards for added texture.

The Experience: The place is no-frills—plastic stools, shared tables, and the constant hum of slurping noodles. Service is quick, and the staff is friendly, though English is limited (pointing at other diners’ bowls works just fine!). Prices are very reasonable (around 30,000–60,000 VND per bowl), making it a great spot for a quick, satisfying meal.

Final Verdict: Pho Mien Ga Ky Dong excels in simplicity and authenticity. If you love chicken-based noodle soups, this spot is a standout. It may not have the fame of beef pho joints, but it’s a local favorite for good reason—hearty, flavorful, and deeply satisfying.
