Da Nang street food: dishes to try, where to eat them and what they cost in 2025–2026

Advertisement

In 2026 the MICHELIN Guide gave 23 places in Da Nang a Bib Gourmand, and several of them are shops that take cash only. Da Nang street food also comes with unfamiliar dish names, so it helps to know what each dish is before you order.

This guide covers what the dishes cost in 2025–2026 news reports, what each one is and where to eat it. It also covers the markets, including the night markets, and the dishes to try in Hoi An (Hội An).

What Da Nang street food costs

Carry cash in small notes, because most of the MICHELIN-listed stalls below take cash only. In Da Nang, 2025–2026 news reports put a bowl of mì Quảng at about 35,000–40,000 VND (about US$1.5), and most dishes at Con Market (chợ Cồn) cost 30,000–50,000 VND (about US$1–2). About 200,000 VND (about US$8) covers mì Quảng, bún mắm, bánh xèo with nem lụi, and snacks such as avocado ice cream and salted yogurt.

Every price in the table except the avocado ice cream is above the "under $1" that a 2024 travel guide gave for most on-the-go food. The 2025–2026 reports used here give no price for bún chả cá, bánh canh, gỏi cá Nam Ô or cao lầu. For changing money, see currency exchange in Da Nang.

Dishes to try, and where the MICHELIN Guide sends you

Use the MICHELIN-listed stalls below as a shortlist, because each has a published address and serves a local dish. The 2026 guide, announced on June 4, 2026, lists 47 places in Da Nang, and 23 of them have a Bib Gourmand, which Michelin defines as good quality, good value cooking. New Bib Gourmands in 2026 include Bà Vui and Bánh Bèo – Bánh Đập, and Dì Hoa is newly listed as Selected.

Mì Quảng

Mì Quảng is a bowl of flat rice noodles about 1 cm wide with only a little broth, eaten with a toasted rice cracker. The folk knowledge of mì Quảng was listed as national intangible cultural heritage in 2024.

Go in the morning to Mỳ Quảng Sứa Hồng Vân, 59 Le Hong Phong Street, Hai Chau ward, a Bib Gourmand that Michelin lists as open 6:00 am–1:00 pm, where toppings include jellyfish. Quê Xưa, 165–167 Nui Thanh Street, Hoa Cuong ward, another Bib Gourmand, focuses on two dishes: mì Quảng and pork rice-paper rolls.

Bún chả cá

This fish cake noodle soup uses fish such as mackerel, lizardfish, flying fish and barracuda, in a broth with tomato, pineapple, pumpkin and bamboo shoots. Add shrimp paste, chili-garlic paste and pickled shallots at the table.

Bún Chả Cá 109, 109 Nguyen Chi Thanh Street, Hai Chau ward, is a Bib Gourmand that has been open for over five decades and is run by the third generation. Bún Chả Cá Bà Hoa, 27 Le Hong Phong Street, a MICHELIN Selected restaurant, serves only this dish, almost 300 bowls a day.

Bánh tráng cuốn thịt heo

You roll this one yourself: boiled pork sliced so each piece has skin at both ends, herbs and rice paper, dipped in mắm nêm, a fermented fish sauce mixed with chili, garlic and pineapple. Try it around Con Market, at Quê Xưa, or at Nam Hìn, 46 Phan Thanh Street, Thanh Khe ward, a Bib Gourmand that also serves bánh xèo.

Bánh xèo and nem lụi

Da Nang's bánh xèo is cooked in small cast-iron pans, so the pancake is thin. Wrap a piece in greens with a grilled nem lụi skewer and dip it. Bánh Xèo Bà Dưỡng, at the end of an alley at 280/23 Hoang Dieu Street, Hoa Cuong ward, has been open for over 30 years, and Michelin calls its pork and peanut dip a must.

Bún mắm

Bún mắm is rice vermicelli with boiled or roast pork, young jackfruit salad, roasted peanuts and fresh greens, mixed with mắm nêm. At Bà Đông, 145 Huynh Thuc Khang Street, Hai Chau ward, a Bib Gourmand, the most popular topping is crispy roast pork.

Bánh bèo, bánh đập and bánh canh

Bánh bèo are small steamed rice cakes, and bánh đập pairs a crisp rice cracker with a soft rice wrapper. Bánh Bèo – Bánh Đập, 251 Phan Chau Trinh Street, Hai Chau ward, is named for these two dishes, opens daily from mid-afternoon, and has traded for over 40 years. Its bánh bèo come in sets of five with a pork and wood-ear topping. For bánh canh, thick and chewy noodles in a snakehead fish and pork broth, go to Bánh Canh Yến, 253 Nguyen Hoang Street, Hai Chau ward, a MICHELIN Selected restaurant.

Snacks, sweets and gỏi cá

Dì Hoa, 62/2A Nui Thanh Street, Hoa Cuong ward, makes Da Nang-style rice-paper snacks, including khô trứng, an egg version often called "Vietnamese pizza". It has a photo menu. Its online listing showed it closed on Sundays as of October 2, 2026, so check before a Sunday visit.

For something sweet, central Da Nang and Hoi An have chè, sweet soups such as corn, mung bean and black sesame, and Con, Han and Bac My An markets sell avocado ice cream. Gỏi cá Nam Ô, a raw fish salad, comes from Nam O fishing village at the foot of the Hai Van Pass (đèo Hải Vân), where only about 10 households specialize in it.

Markets and night markets

Go to Con Market to try several dishes in one place. It stands at the corner of Hung Vuong and Ong Ich Khiem streets and dates back to 1940. Its food is sold in an indoor food court with two rows of stalls and an outdoor area. The city's tourism website gives 6:00 am–7:00 pm as reference hours, and a news report from April 2026 found no touting or overcharging there.

Han Market (chợ Hàn), at 119 Tran Phu, Hai Chau ward, has the same reference hours, and the city's tourism website suggests a bowl of bún chả cá there. In the evening, the Son Tra Night Market (chợ đêm Sơn Trà) on Vo Van Kiet Street, An Hai ward, at the foot of the Dragon Bridge (Cầu Rồng), is open from 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm according to the city's tourism website, though a 2025 news report gives 5:30 pm to midnight. The website suggests going between 7:00 and 9:00 pm, and you can combine it with other things to do in Da Nang.

The Helio Night Market closed temporarily for renovation on September 5, 2025, and visitors' reviews show it open again by early March 2026, under the names B. Night Market and B.Fair, as a smaller, family-friendly market. For its hours and for Son Tra Night Market, see the Da Nang night market guide.

Hoi An dishes

Save cao lầu for Hoi An, which has been part of Da Nang city since July 1, 2025. For the noodles, rice is soaked in lye water made from the ashes of trees from the Cham Islands, and the dough is made with water from the Ba Le well. The bowl is topped with char siu pork and comes with no broth, only two or three spoonfuls of sauce. The city's tourism website says cao lầu is found only in Hoi An.

Hoi An chicken rice is rice cooked in chicken stock with shredded chicken, papaya salad and chili. Cơm Gà Bà Buội, 22 Phan Chau Trinh, opens for lunch from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm and again in the late afternoon. Madam Khánh, 115 Tran Cao Van, charged 25,000–30,000 VND (about US$1) for a bánh mì in 2024.

Hoi An Market, 19 Tran Phu, Hoi An ward, is open from about 6:00 am to 6:00 pm, by the city's tourism website, and sells cao lầu, chicken rice, bánh đập and white rose dumplings. See Hoi An Ancient Town for the night market and the walking streets.

Food tours and festivals

Book a food tour with a private operator if you want a guide, because the city's published food program is a festival and self-guided routes, not guided tours. The Danang Food Tour festival ran May 20–24, 2026, with more than 200 food booths, and the city's tourism promotion center runs foodtourdanang.vn, with sample food routes and a map of about 400 places.

Sources and how we checked

We used dish descriptions from Danang Fantasticity (the city's tourism website) and the MICHELIN Guide's own pages, and prices from Vietnamese news reports dated 2025–2026, plus one 2024 report for Madam Khánh's bánh mì, checked on October 1–2, 2026. We checked each stall named in the dish sections on Google Maps on October 2, 2026, and none was marked as permanently or temporarily closed. The Helio Night Market's reopening comes from its Google Maps listings and visitors' reviews, read on October 3, 2026. Where Michelin and another source disagreed on a stall's address or hours, we used Michelin. US dollar amounts use Vietcombank's transfer rate of 25,800 VND per US$ on October 1, 2026, rounded to the nearest cent below US$1, US$0.5 up to US$100, US$1 up to US$10,000 and US$1,000 above that.
