Năm Đảnh

Is Năm Đảnh worth booking for a special occasion in Da Nang?

Yes; and the Michelin Plate recognition it earned in both 2024 and 2025 tells you exactly why. For a seafood meal in Da Nang's Sơn Trà district that clears a verifiable quality threshold without the four-symbol price tag of a fine-dining room, Năm Đảnh is a sound choice. At a ₫₫ price point with consecutive Michelin recognition, it occupies a position few Da Nang seafood venues can match: credentialed cooking at an approachable spend.

The Case for Booking

Năm Đảnh has held its Michelin Plate two years running; 2024 and 2025. That consecutive recognition is not incidental. Michelin Plates are awarded specifically to kitchens with high-quality cooking, retaining one in back-to-back cycles signals consistency rather than a one-time spike in form. For a seafood-focused restaurant at the ₫₫ tier, that consistency is the core reason to book. You are getting a kitchen that has been assessed, passed, re-assessed, not just a locally well-regarded spot that happened to trend online.

At a venue level, a large review sample smooths out the noise of single visits and gives you a more reliable read on what to expect. For a special occasion, that reliability matters.

The address, 139/59/38 Trần Quang Khải, Sơn Trà, places Năm Đảnh in a residential lane format typical of Da Nang's leading local seafood spots. If you are staying near the beach corridor or in Sơn Trà itself, the location is genuinely convenient. If you are based elsewhere in the city, factor in travel time; Vietnam's address notation for lane-based venues can be disorienting the first time.

What This Kitchen Does Well

Cuisine type is listed as seafood, which in the Da Nang context means proximity to some of the freshest coastal sourcing in central Vietnam. Da Nang sits on the South China Sea, the city's seafood supply chain is one of its genuine competitive advantages over inland Vietnamese cities. A Michelin-recognised kitchen working in this category is in a strong position to translate that sourcing into technically sound cooking. The Plate designation specifically rewards cooking quality over ambiance or service, so the recognition here points to what happens on the plate rather than the room around it.

For diners comparing Năm Đảnh to other Michelin-recognised seafood venues in the region: venues like Alici Restaurant on the Amalfi Coast or Gambero Rosso in Marina di Gioiosa Ionica illustrate what focused, technically precise seafood cooking looks like when it earns consistent recognition. Năm Đảnh is operating in that tradition within the Vietnamese context, a narrowly focused kitchen where seafood craft is the entire proposition.

Practical Details

Booking difficulty is rated Easy, which means walk-ins are plausible, but for a special occasion or group meal, advance contact is still the sensible move. No booking platform or phone number is available in our current data, so arriving in person or asking your hotel concierge to assist with a reservation is the most reliable approach. Hours are not confirmed in our data, confirm locally before you go, particularly if you are planning an evening visit around other Sơn Trà activities.

Price range ₫₫ in Da Nang terms means you are spending meaningfully more than a street-food lunch but well below the top-end French Contemporary rooms. For context, see the comparison table below.

How Năm Đảnh Compares on Logistics

Who Should Book

Năm Đảnh is the right call if you want a Michelin-recognised seafood meal in Da Nang without committing to a ₫₫₫₫ fine-dining room. It is particularly well-suited to couples or small groups marking a special occasion who want credentialed cooking in a setting that does not require the formality of a hotel dining room. If technical cooking quality is your priority over white-tablecloth service, this is where the value sits in Da Nang's seafood category.

If the occasion demands maximum service polish and you have the budget, La Maison 1888 is the top-end alternative. If you want to compare Da Nang's seafood offer against Vietnam's wider dining scene, Anan Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City and Hibana by Koki in Hanoi provide useful reference points for what recognised Vietnamese cooking looks like at different price tiers.
