我的酒店与水疗中心

Dripping in lush greenery, this simple shop feels like an indoor garden. Its signature dish is a crispy bánh xèo pancake filled with beef, squid or shrimp, alongside herbs and veggies, wrapped in rice paper and dipped in a peanut sauce. Another speciality from Da Nang is bánh tráng thịt heo – rice paper roll filled with sliced pork belly, ribbon rice noodles and fresh herbs. But its umami-loaded fermented anchovy sauce is what delivers the oomph!

The 70+-year-old owner inherited the heirloom fish sauce recipe from her family. With chilli, garlic and fruit, the pungent seasoning is the heart and soul of her búm mam, cold rice vermicelli dressed in fish sauce and topped with meat, veggies and peanuts. The most popular topping is crispy roast pork; the thập cẩm version includes pork, beef sausage and cured raw pork balls. Fresh sugar cane juice makes a perfect companion to the noodle dish.

This humble shop, open daily from mid-afternoon, has been trading for over 40 years. It focuses on just two affordable dishes: bánh bèo and bánh đập. The steamed rice cakes arrive in sets of five, the tender bases topped with a rich pork and wood ear sauce, finished with shallots and peanuts. Made to order, the subtly tangy bánh đập pairs crisp rice crackers with a soft rice wrapper; the accompanying sauce strikes a balance of sweet, salty and fermented notes.

Open from 6am-1pm, this no-frills shop is packed with people craving their fix of mì quảng. The flavoursome orange-red broth is made with shrimps, and you can top your noodles with a choice of quail egg, pork, shrimp, meatball or springy jelly fish.

The bright-red lettering looks smart against the artificial turf on a wall. For over 10 years, this small family business has been serving crispy bánh xèo pancakes alongside snacks. Try their bánh xèo tôm nhảy – the wafer-thin crispy crust is done in the style of Binh Dinh province, topped with fresh shrimps. Dip in fish sauce or peanut sauce for complementary flavours. Nem nướng is deep-fried pork sausage with a great peppery taste.

Operated for over 40 years by Bà Vui, whose name it bears, this enduring local favourite keeps a tight focus, serving just two items: bún gà and xôi gà. The deeply flavoured clear chicken broth is lifted by light, refreshing acidity and a subtle touch of black pepper. Served warm, the sticky rice is topped with a mix of tender pulled chicken, pickled onions and a generous handful of fried shallots – and portion sizes are hearty and satisfying.

The family, who hails from Huế, opened this shop in 2014 to sell Huế’s version of bún bò, or beef noodle soup. The umami-loaded broth with beef meat and bones simmers overnight, building balanced, big-boned flavours. They use medium thick rice noodles. Popular toppings include beef tendon, rib, brisket and tongue, as well as pork trotters and crab balls. If you want to sample all the toppings, opt for the đặc biệt version.
