Restaurant in Da Nang, Vietnam
Contemporary Italian with Michelin recognition in Da Nang.
Si Dining has held a Michelin Plate for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025) and carries a 4.9 Google rating across 558 reviews — strong signals for a contemporary Italian kitchen in Da Nang. At ₫₫ pricing, it is one of the most accessible Michelin-recognized venues in Vietnam. Book in person; this is not a delivery proposition.
Si Dining is the right call if you are a food-focused traveler in Da Nang who wants something beyond pho and banh mi but is not ready to commit to the full-formal French experience at La Maison 1888. Two consecutive Michelin Plate recognitions (2024 and 2025) signal that this contemporary Italian kitchen is operating at a level that earns attention in any city, let alone a beach town on Vietnam's central coast. If your trip coincides with Da Nang's cooler, drier months between February and May, the city is at its most comfortable for evening dining out, and Si Dining's setting in the Ngu Hanh Son district gives you a quieter, less tourist-saturated base than the riverfront strip.
Si Dining sits on Giang Chau 2 in the Khu My ward, part of Da Nang's Ngu Hanh Son district, which places it closer to the Marble Mountains than to the central beach hotels. That location matters for your planning: it is not a walk-in-off-the-street kind of place. You are making a decision to come here, and the address alone filters out the casual foot traffic that defines the city's busier dining corridors. The visual experience begins before the food: contemporary Italian restaurants in this price tier, when done well, tend to prioritize clean plating and composed presentation over the rustic abundance you find at a trattoria. At the ₫₫ price point, Si Dining is not asking you to spend at the level of a European fine-dining room, which makes the Michelin Plate recognition land differently. This is Michelin-acknowledged cooking at a mid-range price, and that gap between recognition and cost is the core of the value argument.
With a Google rating of 4.9 across 558 reviews, the consistency signal is strong. A high rating over a large review sample is more meaningful than a 5.0 from 40 people, and 558 reviews in a mid-sized Vietnamese city represents genuine volume. The Michelin Plate designation, awarded in both 2024 and 2025, confirms that the kitchen is not coasting. For context on what a Michelin Plate means: it is not a star, but it is a deliberate inclusion in the guide, indicating food worth noting. In Vietnam's growing Michelin footprint, that carries weight. Compare this to CieL in Ho Chi Minh City or Hibana by Koki in Hanoi — both operating in larger, more competitive markets. Si Dining earns its recognition in a city where the dining scene is still developing, which suggests it would hold up well even by national standards.
Contemporary Italian in Southeast Asia can go in several directions. At its weakest, it is Europeanized pasta with local shortcuts. At its strongest, it uses the Italian framework of product-first cooking and applies it with discipline. The Michelin Plate, sustained across two consecutive years, suggests Si Dining is closer to the latter. The cuisine type listed as Italian Contemporary rather than simply Italian also signals intent: this is not a pizza-and-carbonara operation. For Da Nang visitors who have already worked through the city's Vietnamese staples , the noodle bowls at Ba Dieu or Ba Dong, the street food circuit that includes Banh Canh Yen and Banh Xeo 76 , Si Dining offers a genuine register shift without requiring a luxury budget.
The editorial angle worth addressing directly: is Si Dining worth it off-premise? The short answer is almost certainly no, and that is not a criticism of the kitchen. Contemporary Italian cooking at this level depends heavily on timing and temperature. Pasta served in a delivery container loses its texture within minutes. Composed plates that work visually and structurally in a dining room do not survive a 20-minute ride. The 4.9 Google rating reflects an in-room experience. If you are considering Si Dining, the decision is whether to go in person , not whether to order to your hotel. For Italian food that travels, Da Nang's more casual options will serve you better. Si Dining's value is entirely in the sit-down experience, and the ₫₫ price point means that experience is accessible enough that you should simply go.
For regional context, Cargo Club Cafe in Hoi An offers a more casual international menu that holds up better for off-site eating. If you are day-tripping from Hue, Saffron in Hue City is worth noting as a comparison point for mid-range dining with local character. Further afield, Italian Contemporary at a higher price tier is represented by L'Olivo in Anacapri and Agli Amici Rovinj , both useful benchmarks for understanding where Si Dining sits in the global Italian contemporary spectrum. Si Dining does not match that level of investment or setting, but it is also not trying to. It is a Michelin-recognized kitchen at Vietnamese mid-range pricing, and that is a specific and defensible value proposition.
Booking: Easy , walk-in availability is likely given the location outside the main tourist corridors, but contacting the venue directly before a special occasion visit is advisable. Budget: ₫₫, making this one of the more accessible Michelin Plate venues you will find anywhere in Vietnam. Location: Ngu Hanh Son district, Da Nang , plan for transport, as this is not central. Leading for: Food-focused travelers wanting a break from Vietnamese cuisine without moving into luxury spend territory. Skip if: You are looking for a quick meal or considering delivery , neither suits what Si Dining is built for.

For a contrasting dinner in the same trip, the mountain-adjacent location also puts you within reach of Mi Quang Ba Vi in Thanh Khe and Bau Troi Do in Son Tra for local Vietnamese alternatives on other nights.
The database does not list specific dishes, and fabricating menu items would be misleading. What the Michelin Plate designation (2024, 2025) does confirm is that the kitchen is producing Italian Contemporary food at a standard worth noting. Order based on the server's recommendation on the night , this is the right approach at any Michelin-recognized venue where the menu evolves with product availability.
Yes, and arguably one of the better choices for a solo food traveler in Da Nang. At ₫₫ pricing, the spend is manageable without a group to share across, and a Michelin Plate restaurant is a more rewarding solo experience than a tourist-facing multi-cuisine venue. The Ngu Hanh Son location means you will likely have a quieter room than you would at a riverfront restaurant.
Seat count is not listed in the available data, so the capacity for large groups is unconfirmed. For a group of six or more, contact the venue directly before committing. At ₫₫ pricing, a group dinner here is financially accessible, which makes it a reasonable choice if the kitchen can handle the table size.
Menu format and pricing tiers are not confirmed in the available data. What is confirmed: two consecutive Michelin Plate awards at a ₫₫ price point. If a tasting menu is offered, the price-to-recognition ratio is almost certainly favorable compared to equivalent menus in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi at the same Michelin tier.
Yes, with the caveat that you should plan transport. The Ngu Hanh Son address is not walkable from most central Da Nang hotels, so factor in a taxi or ride-share. Italian Contemporary with Michelin recognition at mid-range pricing is a strong proposition for a birthday or anniversary dinner where you want quality without a luxury budget. For a step up in formality and spend, La Maison 1888 at ₫₫₫₫ is the alternative.
For French at a lower price than La Maison 1888, Le Comptoir (₫₫₫) sits between the two in spend. For something at the same ₫₫ price with a different cuisine, Rang offers Indian cooking. For pure value and local flavor, the Vietnamese street food and noodle options around the city , including Banh Canh Yen and Banh Xeo 76 , are the right call. Si Dining is the pick when you want something beyond Vietnamese and want Michelin-level assurance without La Maison 1888 pricing.
At ₫₫ pricing with two consecutive Michelin Plate awards and a 4.9 Google rating across 558 reviews, Si Dining represents strong value within Da Nang's dining options. You are getting Michelin-recognized Italian Contemporary cooking at a price point well below what equivalent recognition costs in Vietnam's larger cities. The value case is clear.
Three things: first, it is not centrally located , plan your transport. Second, it is Michelin Plate-recognized for two consecutive years, so approach it with appropriate expectation: this is a serious kitchen, not a casual Italian drop-in. Third, at ₫₫ pricing, the financial risk of trying it is low. A first visit is a good test of whether you want to return.

What to weigh when choosing between Si Dining and alternatives.
Menu specifics are not published in advance, which is common for contemporary Italian venues at this level. Given the Michelin Plate recognition in both 2024 and 2025, the kitchen's strongest work is likely in composed pasta or protein-forward mains. Ask the front of house what is running that evening and let them guide you — at the ₫₫ price point, the value case holds whether you order à la carte or follow their lead.
Yes. A Michelin-recognised contemporary Italian at ₫₫ pricing is a low-commitment solo booking — you are not overcommitting on spend, and the format suits a single cover without awkwardness. The Giang Chau 2 address in Khu My puts it outside Da Nang's busiest tourist corridors, so the room is unlikely to feel overwhelming for solo visitors.
check the venue's official channels before arriving with a party of more than four. The Ngu Hanh Son district location suggests a smaller, quieter dining room rather than a large-format restaurant, so groups should confirm capacity and seating arrangements in advance. For larger gatherings in Da Nang, La Maison 1888 has more formal event infrastructure.
At ₫₫ pricing, the cost-of-entry is low enough that a tasting format, if offered, represents solid value for a Michelin Plate venue. Two consecutive Michelin Plate recognitions (2024 and 2025) indicate consistent kitchen output, which matters more for tasting menus than for à la carte visits. Confirm whether a tasting menu is available when booking.
For a mid-tier special occasion in Da Nang, yes. The Michelin Plate credential gives it credibility without the ceremony or cost of a full Michelin-starred experience. If you need a more formal setting with guaranteed prestige, La Maison 1888 inside the InterContinental Son Tra is the stronger choice — but it will cost considerably more.
La Maison 1888 is the comparison for a full fine-dining occasion with a higher price tag. Le Comptoir and Rang offer different cuisine directions at comparable or slightly higher price points. For local Vietnamese at strong value, Bún Chả Cá Hờn and Quán Nhân are entirely different formats but worth knowing if Italian is not the priority that evening.
At ₫₫, the price-to-credential ratio is strong. Two years of consecutive Michelin Plate recognition for contemporary Italian in a mid-tier price bracket is an unusual combination in Vietnam. You are paying for a kitchen that has been externally validated twice, not for a premium room or a tourist-facing setting.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
