Personal Note: This is my absolute favorite banh mi spot in Da Nang! The banh mi with brie is exceptional - you simply must try it. The way they combine the creamy, rich brie with fresh vegetables and their homemade pâté creates something truly special that I keep coming back for.

This family-run shop brings a 60-year-old Hanoi brand to Da Nang, offering an authentic traditional flavor that’s been perfected over generations. Despite being open in Da Nang for less than a year, they’ve quickly become a local favorite - and it’s easy to see why.

  • Homemade chả lụa (Vietnamese pork sausage) and patê made from family recipes
  • French-style banh mi with a clean, refined preparation
  • Specialty banh mi with brie - an absolute must-try!
  • Also serves beverages like kombucha and iced coffee

Why It’s Special: This is your break from traditional banh mi styles. The French influence is stronger here, with carefully crafted ingredients and attention to cleanliness. The banh mi with brie is a standout - creamy, indulgent, and perfectly balanced. The homemade ham is made with love and you can truly taste the difference. The family’s positive energy and authentic hospitality make every visit memorable.

Insider Tip: Customers from Hong Kong have been known to return for a second visit during their trip because it’s just that good!

What Makes Da Nang Banh Mi Special

Da Nang’s banh mi scene stands out for several reasons:

Variety of Styles: From traditional pork belly and pâté to modern fusion creations, Da Nang offers something for every taste preference.

Quality Ingredients: Local vendors take pride in their homemade components - from freshly baked baguettes to homemade pâté and perfectly marinated meats.

Affordability: Most banh mi cost between 20,000-50,000 VND (less than $2-3 USD), making them an accessible and delicious meal option.

Fresh Baguettes: The French-Vietnamese fusion is evident in the quality of the bread - crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, baked fresh throughout the day.

Local Innovation: Da Nang’s banh mi makers aren’t afraid to experiment, leading to unique variations you won’t find elsewhere, from clay pot roasted pork belly to French-inspired artisanal preparations.

Planning Your Banh Mi Tour

Best Time to Visit: Most banh mi shops are busiest during lunch hours (11 AM - 2 PM) and early evening (5 PM - 7 PM). For shorter wait times, visit during mid-morning or mid-afternoon.

How to Order: At most traditional shops, you point to what you want and pay immediately. At modern cafes like Ùmm, you order at the counter and receive a number.

Dietary Considerations: While traditional banh mi contain meat, some shops offer vegetarian options. Ask for “bánh mì chay” for vegetarian versions.

Have you tried any of these banh mi stores? Each offers a unique experience that showcases different aspects of Da Nang’s vibrant food scene. Whether you prefer traditional preparation methods or modern fusion, these three shops represent the best of what the city has to offer.
