Where to go by the hour
Before 11 pm: the Ta Hien bia hoi junction is the easiest, with cheap draught beer and plastic stools. According to one source the police clear the pavement around 11 pm: crowds then move to the soup counters that stay open. The weekend night market extends the evening to about midnight.
After midnight: Tong Duy Tan and its stalls are said to serve until morning; a pho counter on Phu Doan street is described as one of the few serving after midnight. Hours quoted on blogs are of uneven quality: check on the spot.
