    Special Dry Combination Noodles @ Le Quy

    Campbell Ave & San Tomas Aquino Campbell, Ca

    Their signature noodle is the dry hu tieu, but I think the clear broth pho is a better, albeit pretty muted flavorwise, choice.

    Hu Tieu Dac Biet @ Dalat Cafe

    408 East William Street San Jose, CA

    After pho, hu tieu is my 2nd favorite noodle soup. The version here has crab claws and large prawns, but is pricier than many ($10.95)

    740 Story Road San Jose, California

    After pho, hu tieu is my 2nd favorite noodle soup. The dry version here, served with soup on the side, is cheap ($5.50) and fantastic.
