Halal food in Da Nang: six restaurants, what halal means at each, and where to pray

Advertisement

Dozens of restaurants in Da Nang (Đà Nẵng) are listed as halal, so anyone looking for halal food in Da Nang has to work out what the word means at each one. It can mean a restaurant with a current certificate, a kitchen that keeps pork and alcohol out on its own say-so, or just a menu with some dishes you can eat.

The six restaurants below are grouped by cuisine, with opening hours, prices from their own menus where they publish any, and what each one shows about its halal status, checked on November 8, 2026. Practical parts follow: where to pray, and how to check halal at the table.

Which restaurants in Da Nang are halal-certified

A sign on the door is a claim, not proof. Of the six restaurants described here, only one publishes a halal certificate: the Pho Hub (Phở Hub) branch at 222 Do Ba street (Đỗ Bá), certified by Halal Vietnam from June 6, 2026 to June 5, 2027.

That certificate lists a certificate ID, the standard (OIC/SMIIC 6:2019), the branch address, and a phone number and email for checking it, and it names the Do Ba branch only. Thia Go (Thìa Gỗ) says in text hidden on its website that the halal certificate it held in 2019 expired before the pandemic, and that it still cooks with no pork, no lard and no pork seasoning and marks meat that is not zabihah (not slaughtered by Islamic rules) as "NO HALAL" on its menu. It also sells beer. The other four say halal on their signs, menus or social media pages without publishing a certificate.

Certification elsewhere in the city is thinly documented. The Vietnamese newspaper Bao Van Hoa reported in December 2025 that more than 10 places in Da Nang hold halal food certification, naming Sun World Ba Na Hills and Halal Indrapura, but it named no certifier for either and gave no certificate numbers. The halal directory Halal Navi lists 35 restaurants in Da Nang and says its halal status comes from what each restaurant tells it and from listings its team has checked.

The table lists the six restaurants in the order they appear below.

Vietnamese food: Pho Hub and Thia Go

Go to Pho Hub if you want pho and a certificate you can ask to see, and to Thia Go if you want a longer Vietnamese menu with a different halal arrangement. For more pho, see the guide to pho in Da Nang.

Pho Hub

Pho Hub has two branches under the same name on Google Maps: 222 Do Ba street in Ngu Hanh Son ward (phường Ngũ Hành Sơn), which the restaurant says seats up to 150 and which holds the certificate, and 181 Nguyen Chi Thanh street (Nguyễn Chí Thanh) in Hai Chau ward (phường Hải Châu), in the city center. The restaurant says in an April post that all its dishes are "100% Halal-certified," but the only certificate it has posted names the Do Ba branch, so this guide suggests asking at the city center branch to see its own. Its Facebook page also lists a Pho Hub Signature in An Bang, Hoi An, part of Da Nang city since July 1, 2025.

The menu, photographed in March 2026 according to its Google Maps listing, prints prices without a currency sign: rare beef pho is 95 for a regular bowl and 150 for a big one, jumbo beef rib pho 115 and 170, Hoi An chicken rice 125 and beef curry 195, before 8% VAT. This guide reads the figures as thousands of dong, since Coke is listed at 25. The menu says "All foods are Halal. No MSG.," and its drink list has coffee, smoothies and soft drinks but no alcohol.

The restaurant's Facebook post of August 13, 2026 gives 10:00 am–10:00 pm at the city center branch and 11:00 am–11:00 pm at Do Ba, where Google lists 10:30 pm. The Do Ba branch has a Google rating of 4.7 from 255 reviews and the city center branch 4.8 from 1,189, and pho is the dish its reviews are grouped under most at both.

Thia Go

Thia Go, at 53 Phan Thuc Duyen street (Phan Thúc Duyện) in Ngu Hanh Son ward, is a Vietnamese restaurant with a long menu and a Muslim-friendly menu, not a halal restaurant, and the Da Nang Muslim Community website lists it among its "Muslim Friendly Restaurants (Some Halal Options)." Text hidden on the restaurant's website says the halal certificate it held in 2019, issued by the Islamic Community Representative Committee of Ninh Thuan, expired before the pandemic, that it still cooks with no pork, no lard and no pork seasoning, and that meat that is not zabihah is marked "NO HALAL" on its menu. That is the restaurant's own statement, not a certificate, and the page does not say who checks the unmarked meat. The menu applies that mark to beef brisket, beef rib and mixed-beef pho, which costs 125,000 VND (about US$5), and to its duck and beef rib stews, so the medium-rare beef pho at 90,000 VND (about US$3.5) carries no mark. Its fresh spring rolls and chả lụi carry the note "Sauce has beef."

Beer is on the drinks menu at 30,000 VND (about US$1) for Larue and Saigon and 35,000 VND (about US$1.5) for Tiger. Banh xeo with shrimp costs 125,000 VND (about US$5) and beef spring rolls 90,000 VND (about US$3.5), and banh xeo is the dish its Google reviews mention most. It is open 10:00 am–10:00 pm every day, with last orders at 9:45 pm for dining in, and has a Google rating of 4.7 from 7,702 reviews.

Rice, noodles and a prayer room: Halal Food Karim

Come here for rice and noodle dishes in a restaurant that also has a space for prayer.

Halal Food Karim

Halal Food Karim, at 186 Tran Hung Dao street (Trần Hưng Đạo) in An Hai ward (phường An Hải), has beef pho and nasi goreng kampong, a Malaysian-style fried rice, among the highlights on its Google Maps listing. It calls itself a halal restaurant with space for prayer, and a June 2024 Facebook photo shows a round halal badge with small print on its sign, but it posts no certificate and the print does not make clear which body issued it. Prayer room is one of the topics its Google reviews are grouped under, with 18, next to nasi goreng with 15.

It is open 7:30 am–9:00 pm every day, has a Google rating of 4.5 from 497 reviews, and users put a meal at 100,000–200,000 VND (about US$4–8) a person. Its Facebook page shows no menu. Its Facebook page has no post since January 29, 2025, but it was listed as open on November 8, 2026, with reviews posted in 2026.

Turkish kebab and grills: Istanbul Gourmet and Öztürk

Both Turkish restaurants call their food halal, and neither publishes a certificate.

Istanbul Gourmet

Istanbul Gourmet, at 75 Tran Bach Dang street (Trần Bạch Đằng) in Ngu Hanh Son ward, puts a halal badge on its menu pages and calls itself "Halal Turkish Kebab & Steak" on Instagram, while the visible text of its website does not use the word and names no certifier. Its prices include tax and service: Adana kebab is 295,000 VND (about US$11.5), chicken shish kebab 215,000 VND (about US$8.5), hummus 85,000 VND (about US$3.5), lahmacun 135,000 VND (about US$5.5) and Turkish tea 10,000 VND (about US$0.39). The menu lists soft drinks, juices, tea and coffee. Its sister restaurant Sultan Istanbul Kebab, at 250 Tran Phu street (Trần Phú) in Hai Chau ward, says "100% HALAL CERTIFIED" on its website and "Halal-friendly" on the same page, again with no certifier.

It is open 10:45 am–11:45 pm every day, and its website says the kitchen closes at 11:45 pm. Its Google rating is 4.9 from 1,552 reviews, and users put a meal at 200,000–700,000 VND (about US$8–27.5) a person, though structured data in its website code lists 200,000–300,000 VND (about US$8–12).

Öztürk

Öztürk Halal Turkish Restaurant, at 254 Ho Nghinh street (Hồ Nghinh) in An Hai ward, describes itself on Instagram as "Turkish HALAL food in Da Nang" with kebab, tandır and Turkish tea, and a post of September 1, 2026 ends "Turkish Cuisine • HALAL." The page shows no certificate and no prices. Its Google rating is 4.7 from 588 reviews, users put a meal at 100,000–200,000 VND (about US$4–8) a person, and its reviews are grouped most under doner and Turkish food, with 36 each.

Halal Indian food: Lazeez

Lazeez is the restaurant here that puts "Halal 100%" in its Google Maps name; for the other Indian restaurants and what they say about halal, see the guide to Indian restaurants in Da Nang.

Lazeez

Lazeez Indian Restaurant, at Lot I-09 Pham Van Dong street (Phạm Văn Đồng) in An Hai ward, calls itself a "traditional Indian halal restaurant" on Facebook, posts a "100% HALAL" poster and says chefs from India lead its kitchen. A July 2025 photo on Google Maps shows a badge reading "100% Halal Certified" on its sign, but the restaurant names no certifier and posts no certificate. It publishes no menu with prices, and users put a meal at 100,000–200,000 VND (about US$4–8) a person.

It is open 11:30 am–10:30 pm every day and has a Google rating of 4.6 from 1,407 reviews, and halal food is one of the topics its reviews are grouped under, with 47. Its Facebook page has no post since March 8, 2026.

Where to pray in Da Nang

Two prayer spaces are listed for Da Nang, one at Halal Food Karim and one at the airport. The Da Nang Muslim Community website lists one prayer room in the city, on the second floor of Halal Food Karim at 186 Tran Hung Dao street, and gives Friday congregational prayer (Jumu'ah) at 12:00, on a page that carries no date and no opening hours for the room. The airport has one too: a listing called Muslim Prayer Room, on Google Maps inside Da Nang International Airport, rated 4.9 from 29 reviews, with no opening hours; see the Da Nang airport guide.

How to check halal before you order

Ask before you sit down, because a sign cannot tell you what the kitchen does. This guide suggests asking to see the certificate and reading four things on it: who issued it, the certificate ID, the dates, and the address it covers. Pho Hub's certificate shows all four and names one branch, and an expired certificate such as Thia Go's no longer certifies anything.

Ask about alcohol and pork too, and about sauces, since a sauce can contain meat even when the dish looks safe: Thia Go's menu carries the note "Sauce has beef" on two of its dishes. Confirm the hours before a long trip, because the restaurants' own pages and Google Maps give different closing times for Pho Hub. If you are also choosing where to sleep, see where to stay in Da Nang.

Sources and how we checked

We chose six restaurants that were open on Google Maps on November 8, 2026, came up in Google Maps searches for halal restaurants in Da Nang or in Google's answer box for "halal food da nang", had at least 250 Google reviews, and have a website, Facebook page or Instagram account of their own that we could read. This is not every halal restaurant in Da Nang. A Google Maps search for "mosque Da Nang" on November 8, 2026 found no mosque other than the airport prayer room. Kababish was left out because its own Facebook page gives two different addresses, and TOI Central Asian Restaurant because its Instagram page does not use the word halal. We checked hours, addresses, ratings and reviews on Google Maps on November 8, 2026, and menus, halal statements and certificates on each restaurant's own pages the same day. Google reviews were used only for the topics Google Maps groups them under, and the price ranges marked "per Google users" are what Google Maps users reported. No photo of Pho Hub, Halal Food Karim or Öztürk met this guide's standard, so those sections have none. US dollar amounts use Vietcombank's transfer rate of 25,400 VND per US$ on November 8, 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.
