Banh Canh Phung at 27 Bach Dang Street is a family noodle shop now in its third generation. It specialises in banh canh cha ca: thick, chewy noodles (made from rice and tapioca) in a clear, gently sweet broth, topped with fish cake.
Locals and tour groups alike stop here, and the most popular bowls sometimes sell out early. It is a good choice if you want a mild, non-spicy local dish.

Visiting
Go early if you want to be sure of the signature bowl. Bach Dang Street is also home to Bun Quay Kien Xay, so you can try two local noodle dishes on one walk. It is in central Duong Dong, within walking distance of Dinh Cau; from the Long Beach resorts take a Grab or taxi (roughly 15–30 minutes depending on where you stay).
