Customers can rest assured they won't have to worry about their car being stolen.

Inheriting their mother's "legacy," Ms. Vuong (53 years old) and her sisters still regularly serve customers from near and far every day.

6 types of meatballs in one bowl of vermicelli soup with meatballs.

I woke up early and went to Ba Chieu's vermicelli soup restaurant, a familiar spot for many people living in the Bac Hai area (Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City). The restaurant has a relatively spacious ground floor and an upper floor, and at times, the tables downstairs are completely full of customers.

Customers who come to eat can drive their cars straight into the building to park.

On the ground floor of the house, customers were still seated and eating on both sides. The owner had left a relatively wide walkway in the middle so that customers could drive their cars straight into the back of the house and park there, instead of parking in front like many other restaurants.

Regular customers here seem quite used to this situation. "Parking like this is so secure, no need to worry about losing your bike. Since you're parking inside the building and there's even someone watching over it, how could it possibly get stolen? You can eat comfortably," one customer laughed, jokingly saying that this is the restaurant where he feels most secure eating in Ho Chi Minh City.

With customers coming and going in a steady stream, Mrs. Vuong's three sisters, along with their children, grandchildren, and staff, each busy with their own tasks, served customers dining in, those buying takeout, and those taking orders for delivery.

Each serving of vermicelli soup with meatballs here costs between 35,000 and 45,000 VND.

The sisters in Mrs. Vuong's family inherited their mother's restaurant.

The owner explained that each bowl of bun moc (vermicelli soup with meatballs) here costs between 35,000 and 45,000 VND, depending on the type. What's special is that the restaurant offers six different types of meatballs, including pork sausage, cinnamon sausage, lean pork sausage, fatty pork sausage, head cheese, and meatballs… All are homemade by the owner's family, as she mentioned that before selling bun moc, her family had a tradition of making meatballs.

If customers order the special bowl for 50,000 VND, it will include all kinds of meatballs. Or customers can choose their own types of meatballs; the restaurant always accommodates customers. The secret to the delicious meatball noodle soup lies in these meatballs, and that's what has made this eatery so popular for over half a century.

Ms. Vuong, the owner of the restaurant.

Having eaten nothing all morning and feeling hungry, I ordered a 50,000 VND portion to enjoy all the different types of meatballs in the bowl of vermicelli soup. The combination of meatballs with vermicelli, rich and hot broth, along with a little onion, chives, pepper, and fragrant shrimp paste, was fantastic to start a new day. In terms of taste, I give the restaurant an 8.5/10; it's definitely worth a visit when you're craving it.

Deeply attached to my mother's "legacy".

Sharing her story with us, Mrs. Vuong said that this eatery is older than her. Back then, her family had a business making meatballs, so her mother decided to sell vermicelli soup with meatballs to support her children. Although called a restaurant, it was initially just a mobile stall run by the elderly woman throughout the Bac Hai residential area.

“When my mother went out to sell, my siblings stayed home to look after me. I am the sixth child in the family. Thanks to this noodle soup stall, my mother raised eight of us siblings to adulthood, some of whom are now doctors and engineers. It’s also thanks to this stall that I raised three of my own children. I cherish my mother’s eatery so much!” she said emotionally.

Ms. Dao has been helping her sister sell things for almost a year now.

All the types of sausages are homemade by her family.

After many ups and downs, for about 10 years now, the shop has moved to this new address, which is Mrs. Vuong's family home, also on Bac Hai Street. Her mother, now 88 years old, is no longer able to run the shop due to poor health and stays home to help her children make the sausages. Currently, the shop is managed by Mrs. Vuong and her two sisters, with her eldest daughter also helping out.

Ms. Dao (50 years old, Ms. Vuong's younger sister) used to sell food with the family, but after getting married, she switched to another profession. However, by chance, she returned to the family's old eatery a year ago to help her sister with the business.

This eatery belongs to my mother, it's her legacy, so my sisters and I must preserve and develop it. We always strive to bring the most heartfelt bowls of noodle soup to our customers, so as not to disappoint my mother's trust and the trust of all the customers who have supported us for decades.

Mr. Nhut (34 years old), who also lives on Bac Hai Street, said that he has been eating bun moc (vermicelli soup with meatballs) here since he was a child, during his school days. Now that he's grown up and has a wife and children, he still eats there. Partly because the bun moc is delicious and suits his taste, and partly because this is a familiar eatery that has been associated with his childhood and youth.

The restaurant continues to operate daily from 5:30 AM to 7 or 8 PM, carrying on the passion for cooking passed down from mother to daughter…
