Do you know that President Obama and Anthony Bourdain ate Bún chả together in a restaurant called Bun Cha Huong Lien?
Inside the restaurant, there are many pictures of President Obama. Although the walls are now covered with Obama’s pictures, the cuisine remains the same – local, authentic and delicious. This is one of the best bún chả restaurants in Hanoi.
