Korean customers have been visiting the restaurant for 40 years in Da Nang, praising the famous noodle dish.

The first time tasting the Michelin-recommended noodle dish in Da Nang , two Korean guests commented that the flavor was both strange and familiar but delicious, the most impressive being the rich fish cake.

During a trip to Da Nang a few months ago, Yozzzuum (from South Korea) and her husband Jo Bong-dal spent a lot of time exploring local cuisine , from popular dishes to dishes recommended by the Michelin Guide.

Among them, there is a dish that the couple quite likes, finds it to be to the taste of most Koreans and highly praises it as delicious. That is fish noodle soup.

The place that Yozzzuum and his wife visited was a fish noodle shop located on Nguyen Chi Thanh street, Hai Chau district.

The restaurant received the Bib Gourmand title (good restaurant, affordable price) voted by Michelin in June 2024.

Fish noodle soup is a familiar dish loved by both locals and foreigners when traveling to Da Nang.

At the restaurant, two Korean guests ordered a bowl of noodles with lots of fish cakes for 40,000 VND and a special bowl with extra crab cakes and sour soup for 50,000 VND.

These are two outstanding dishes on the menu, loved and chosen by many diners.

When the food was served, Yozzzuum expressed her impression of the prompt and attentive service. She also commented on the generous portion.

Female tourist tasted the broth and commented that the taste was similar to fish cake soup in Korea.

The Korean female tourist excitedly tasted the first spoonful of broth and was surprised by the strange yet familiar flavor and pleasant aroma.

“The broth is quite clear, mild and you can clearly taste each flavor. I feel like this dish is a bit like odeng (Korean hot soup with fish cake broth),” Yozzzuum commented.

The young customer also said that the reason why the fish noodle soup here has a more distinctive and richer flavor than Korean odeng is probably due to the way Vietnamese people use and season the spices.

“When I added lemon juice, I found the flavor of the dish even more impressive,” she added.

While enjoying it, Bong-dal also exclaimed "so delicious" and praised the fish cake for its firm meat, rich flavor, and aroma.

“This dish goes well with soju. That’s why the restaurant also has small glasses for drinking on the side,” he said humorously.

To make the dining experience more enjoyable and complete, the couple also ordered canned beer, praising it as the best drink they had ever had.

The couple gave many compliments to the noodle dish in Da Nang.

Sharing with VietNamNet reporter, the representative of the fish noodle shop that Yozzzuum and his wife visited said that the shop has been open for more than 40 years.

The highlight of the fish noodle soup here is the broth with a mildly sweet and sour taste, prepared according to a secret recipe by boiling crab shells, fish bones and fresh vegetables and fruits (pineapple, cabbage, bamboo shoots, tomatoes...).

Fish noodle soup is made from rustic ingredients but requires elaborate preparation.

In addition, the restaurant's fish cakes are made from fresh fish and not mixed with much flour and are highly appreciated by diners because they are firm, fragrant, and rich in flavor.

When eating, diners can add some typical Central spices such as chili, shrimp paste, fish sauce, pickled shallots, green chili and raw vegetables, etc. to increase the freshness or prevent boredom.

Price of each serving of fish noodle soup ranges from 40,000 - 60,000 VND, depending on ingredients.

In addition to fish noodle soup, the restaurant also serves a number of other dishes such as tuna noodle soup, mackerel noodle soup, crab soup, fried and steamed fish cakes, meeting the diverse enjoyment needs of diners.
