Reflecting Saigon's historical ties with Cambodia, hu tieu Nam Vang (Phnom Penh-style noodle soup) is a lighter, clearer alternative to pho, built on a pork-and-seafood broth with thin rice noodles, minced pork, shrimp, and quail eggs. This long-running spot is well regarded among noodle-soup enthusiasts for a well-balanced, not-too-heavy broth, and makes a good breakfast or light lunch option.
