Restaurant in Da Nang, Vietnam
Two Michelin Plates. Pocket-change prices. Go.
Mì Quảng 1A holds consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) for Da Nang's signature turmeric noodle dish, at street-food prices (₫). With 1,883 Google reviews averaging 4.0, this is the city's most validated address for mì quảng. Walk in before noon, eat casually, and leave having had one of the most credible cheap meals in Central Vietnam.
Yes — and the Michelin Plate recognitions in both 2024 and 2025 make the case simply. For a bowl of mì quảng at street-food prices (₫), this is the address in Da Nang that has drawn the most credible outside validation the dish has ever received. If you are spending any time in the city and want to eat the regional noodle in its most recognised form, book here first.
Mì quảng is Da Nang's signature noodle: wide, turmeric-yellow rice noodles served in a small amount of rich broth — less soup than most Vietnamese noodle dishes , topped with protein, fresh herbs, peanuts, and a sesame rice cracker on the side. The format rewards attention. You eat it wet but not soupy, mixing the toppings through as you go. At Mì Quảng 1A on Hải Phòng Street in Thạch Thang, Hải Châu, that experience is delivered at a price point that makes it accessible to anyone passing through the city.
The address has 1,883 Google reviews averaging 4.0 , a volume of feedback that tells you this is not a hidden local spot but a well-trafficked destination that holds its quality under pressure. Two consecutive Michelin Plates confirm the kitchen is consistent enough to satisfy external scrutiny, not just neighbourhood loyalty. For a food-focused traveller who wants proof of quality before spending time on a meal, that combination of crowd volume and critical recognition is a strong signal.
Mì quảng restaurants in Vietnam typically operate with open, casual seating , low plastic stools, shared tables, and a front-of-house setup that faces the street or the kitchen. At 1A, that close-to-the-action seating is part of the appeal. Sitting near the preparation area lets you watch the bowl being built: the noodles layered first, broth ladled sparingly, toppings arranged in sequence. This is a dish where the visual composition tells you whether the kitchen is paying attention, and at a Michelin Plate venue, the assembly should reflect that. The experience is fast and informal , this is not a place for a two-hour lunch , but the proximity to the kitchen gives food enthusiasts the kind of transparency that slower, table-service restaurants rarely offer.
If you have eaten mì quảng elsewhere in the city or in Vietnam, the comparison is instructive. At less recognised spots, the broth can be thin or the toppings sparse. The Michelin recognition at 1A implies a kitchen that takes the proportions seriously. Pair that with the street-level energy of eating in central Da Nang and the low price, and this is close to the clearest value-for-time proposition in the city's noodle category.
Mì Quảng 1A sits at 5 Hải Phòng in the Hải Châu district , central Da Nang, accessible from most hotels near the Han River. Hours are not confirmed in our database, but Vietnamese noodle shops of this type typically run from early morning through early afternoon, often closing once the day's broth is exhausted. Arriving before noon is advisable. Walk-in seating is the norm at this price point and style; no reservation process is expected. Dress is entirely casual.
For context on what else the city offers in noodles and beyond, see our full Da Nang restaurants guide. If you are building a broader Vietnam itinerary, CieL in Ho Chi Minh City, Hibana by Koki in Hanoi, and Saffron in Hue City are worth anchoring into your schedule. For Central Vietnam day-trip planning, Cargo Club Cafe & Restaurant in Hoi An is a reliable multi-meal stop. Within Da Nang's noodle circuit, Mi Quang Ba Vi in Thanh Khe is the peer most worth comparing directly. Other noodle specialists worth adding to a Da Nang morning: Bà Diệu (Tran Tong Street), Bà Đông, Bún Bò Bà Rơi (Hai Chau), Bún Bò Huế Bà Thương, and Bún Chả Cá 109. For noodle lovers interested in regional comparisons across Asia, A Niang Mian Guan in Shanghai and A Xin Xian Lao (Gongnong Road) in Fuzhou offer useful counterpoints. For broader Da Nang planning: Da Nang hotels, Da Nang bars, Da Nang experiences, and Da Nang wineries.
See the comparison section below for how Mì Quảng 1A sits against other Da Nang dining options across price tiers.
At ₫ pricing, this is one of the easiest value calls in Da Nang. Two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) applied to a street-food-priced bowl of noodles means the kitchen is producing something that clears a credible quality bar. You are paying very little for a dish the city is genuinely proud of, at the address that has earned the most formal recognition for it.
Mi Quang Ba Vi in Thanh Khe is the direct same-dish comparison. For a different noodle format at a similar price point, Bún Chả Cá Hờn (₫) offers Da Nang's fish cake noodle soup. If you want to step up to French Contemporary at the high end, La Maison 1888 (₫₫₫₫) is the city's most formal dining option. Bún Chả Cá Hờn and Quán Nhân round out the ₫-tier street food circuit.
Go before noon. Vietnamese noodle shops at this price point typically run until the broth is finished, not until a posted closing time. Walk in, expect casual seating, and eat quickly , turnover is fast. The dish itself is served with less liquid than most Vietnamese noodle soups, so if you are expecting a pho-style bowl, adjust expectations: mì quảng is more noodle than soup. Mix in the herbs, peanuts, and cracker as you eat.
Specific seating configurations are not confirmed in our data, but venues of this style in Vietnam typically offer open bench or counter seating close to the kitchen. There is no formal bar in the Western sense. The appeal of sitting near the preparation area is watching the bowl being assembled , a useful way to understand what a well-made version of the dish looks like before yours arrives.
Completely casual. This is a street-food-tier noodle restaurant with Michelin recognition for its food, not its formality. Shorts, sandals, and a t-shirt are standard. There is no dress expectation beyond being dressed for the Da Nang heat.
Not in the traditional sense. The setting is informal, the meal is quick, and the price point is street level. If you are marking a celebration, La Maison 1888 at ₫₫₫₫ is the city's answer to a formal occasion dinner. Mì Quảng 1A is better framed as a high-quality food moment rather than a destination event , the kind of meal a serious food traveller calls a highlight precisely because it costs almost nothing and delivers something worth remembering.
There is no tasting menu here. This is a single-dish specialist at street-food prices. You come for mì quảng. The question of value is answered by the bowl itself: at ₫ pricing with back-to-back Michelin Plate recognition, the cost-to-quality ratio is hard to argue against.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
Yes, without reservation. At ₫ pricing — street-food level — a Michelin Plate two years running (2024 and 2025) is an unusually strong credential for the spend. You are getting a recognised bowl of Da Nang's signature noodle for a few dollars. There is no value argument against going.
For the same dish at a similar price point, Bún Chả Cá Hờn offers a different local noodle format worth comparing. If you want to step up in formality and price, Rang and Le Comptoir represent Da Nang's more polished dining tier. La Maison 1888 sits in a different category entirely — resort fine dining, not a mì quảng alternative.
The restaurant is at 5 Hải Phòng in Hải Châu district, central Da Nang and reachable from most Han River hotels without much effort. Mì quảng is served with a small amount of broth — less than a standard noodle soup — so expect a drier, richer bowl than phở or bún bò. Come early; Michelin recognition has made it a known stop and seating fills.
There is no bar at Mì Quảng 1A. Like most Vietnamese noodle shops in its category, seating is casual — low stools, shared tables, open setup. Sit wherever there is space; counter-style dining is the norm, not a separate option to request.
Whatever you are already wearing. This is a street-food-format noodle restaurant priced at ₫ — there is no dress expectation beyond basic appropriateness for being out in Da Nang. Shorts, sandals, and a t-shirt are standard for the neighbourhood and the format.
Not in the conventional sense — there is no private dining, no wine list, and no formal service format. That said, if the occasion is food-focused and the group appreciates eating something genuinely good rather than somewhere impressive, two consecutive Michelin Plates give it a story worth telling. For a celebration requiring atmosphere and service, Rang or La Maison 1888 are more appropriate choices.
Mì Quảng 1A does not operate a tasting menu — it is a noodle shop. The format is order, eat, leave. The question here is simply whether to go, and the answer is yes: Michelin Plate recognition at ₫ pricing makes it one of the clearest value decisions in Da Nang dining.
