In addition to the bridges, Da Nang has many famous markets. Let’s explore Da Nang street food market to make your trip more interesting.
Here we go again – me, your Da Nang-obsessed tour leader with 6 years of guiding, tasting, and bargaining – back to walk you through the city where ocean air salts your cheeks and every aisle of a da nang street food market hides one more bite worth remembering.
Last time I shared a hand-picked list of 15 Da Nang street food stops. Have you hunted them down yet? If not, don’t sleep on them – their spots were earned after countless side-by-side tastings, so you can spend your limited travel time eating the good stuff instead of guessing. This round, we’re leveling up: not just “what to eat,” but “where to wander,” so the market itself becomes part of the meal.
You’ve probably already googled the big names like: Con Market, Han Market, Bac My An Market, and that’s a solid start. But each Da Nang street food market has its own rhythm: different vendors calling out deals, different family recipes behind the same dish, different little rituals that make a bowl, a cup, or a skewer feel special. Drift through one Da Nang street food market or three in a day, let the markets set the tempo and turn your time in Da Nang into a string of simple, unforgettable bites.
Now let’s get started, let’s explore together!!

Da Nang Local Markets – Eat And Explore Street Food During The Day
Below are the must-visit street food markets around the city – each with its own flavor and atmosphere.
Bac My An Market – Best Street Food Near the Beach
Address: 25 Nguyen Ba Lan, Da Nang
Bac My An is the Da Nang street food market closest to most hotels. It’s a good place to start eating street food.
Getting There
- Take a Grab or Xanh SM ride.
- If you ride a motorbike, bring 3,000 – 5,000 VND cash for parking
When you walk into the market, you’ll see real Da Nang life: food sellers shouting about their daily specials, cooking pots bubbling slowly, and many local people eating. This shows you which food is the freshest.
Must-Try #1: Ốc Hút Cô Luân (Co Luan’s Snail Stall)
Go to Co Luan’s snail shop first. She keeps her cooking pots hot all day, so the snails are always fresh, clean, and smell really good. They taste spicy with lemongrass and are very delicious – you’ll want more! Get a mixed plate with different types of snails. Start with small shells, then try the bigger ones. The big snails are soft but a little crunchy, with a rich, buttery taste.
Must-Try #2: Bún Mắm Nêm Cô Sim (Co Sim’s Rice Noodles with Fermented Fish Sauce)
This is a famous Da Nang dish with pork, sour sausage, jackfruit pieces, and fresh herbs. The special thing about this dish is the “Mắm Nêm” – a thick, rich fermented fish sauce that makes it incredibly delicious. Don’t worry about the strong smell – when you taste it, it’s salty and spicy at first, then becomes very balanced and amazing.
Other Popular Foods to Try
- Bánh Căn (Vietnamese Mini Pancake)
- Bún Thịt Nướng (Vietnamese Grilled Pork & Rice Noodles)
- Bánh Canh (Vietnamese Thick Noodle Soup)
- Mít Trộn (Jackfruit Salad)
Perfect Ending: Kem Bơ Cô Vân (Co Van’s Avocado Ice Cream)
End your visit with Kem Bơ Cô Vân. This is very popular in Da Nang – almost everyone tries it! You might wait in line because many people want it, but the creamy, green ice cream is the perfect way to finish eating at the market.
What to Expect: Prices are cheap, portions are good size, and most food tastes very good at this market.
Con Market – Da Nang’s Biggest and Most Famous Market
Address: 90 Hung Vuong, Da Nang
Con Market is Da Nang’s most important market. It’s big, well-known, and has many food choices. For many local people (including me), this is the best market in the city.
This market is like a huge supermarket with many small shops: dozens of meat sellers, many fish sellers, and more fruit stands than you can count. Restaurants and home cooks all shop here. It’s loud, busy, and full of life.
Good to Know:
- Prices are higher than Bac My An Market (no cheap student prices)
- Look for food stalls that show their prices clearly before you sit down
- Bring small money bills
- Order food from busy stalls (this means the food is fresh and good)
Getting There:
- Take a Grab or Xanh SM ride.
- If you ride a motorbike, bring 3,000 – 5,000 VND cash for parking
- You can also walk if you are around Tran Phu or Bach Dang street.
Best Time to Visit: After 2 PM, many food sellers set up their stalls outside the market. This is when you’ll see the most food options and it’s very exciting!
Must-Try #1: Bánh Tráng Cuốn Thịt Heo Bi Mỹ (Pork Rice Paper Roll at Bi My Stall)
This is rice paper rolls with pork and fresh herbs. Bi My’s stall is very famous for this dish. It might be crowded and tight because many people want to eat there.
Must-Try #2: Bánh Bèo, Nậm, Lọc
These are small steamed rice cakes that are very popular in Da Nang. They’re light, tasty, and perfect to start with. Each small cake has different toppings and flavors.
Must-Try #3: Bánh Bột Lọc (Rice Dumpling Cake)
These are clear, chewy dumplings made from tapioca starch. They’re filled with shrimp and pork, and have a unique texture that’s very satisfying.
Other Popular Foods to Try
- Bánh Xèo (Crispy Vietnamese Pancake)
- Bánh Canh (Vietnamese Thick Noodle Soup)
- Ram Cuốn Cải (Fried Spring Roll)
Perfect Ending: Co Thu’s Avocado Ice Cream
Co Thu’s ice cream is here
End your visit with Kem Bơ Cô Thu (Co Thu’s Avocado Ice Cream). I think it tastes better than Cô Vân’s at Bac My An market, even though Cô Vân is more famous. Here, the ice cream is smooth and creamy, and the avocado is fresh and bright green. The staff can be a little unfriendly and quick, but the taste is amazing.
Han Market – Souvenir Hub & Easy Snacking
Address: 119 Tran Phu, Da Nang
Han Market is the place to wander when you want energy and options in one stop. It’s busy and touristy (you’ll hear plenty of Korean), packed with dried seafood, local coffee, fabrics, and quirky gifts. As a Da Nang street food market, it’s lighter on full meals than Con or Bac My An, but perfect for “graze while you shop” eats – small plates you can enjoy between stalls while people-watching.
Good to Know:
- You should be a little careful because you might be overcharged when buying things here, so you should ask for the price first.
Getting There
- You’ll just take an easy stroll from the Tran Phu / Bach Dang riverside area.
- The simplest way to get here is by Grab or Xanh SM ride.
- If you’re coming by motorbike, just bring along 3,000 – 5,000 VND in cash for parking
Best Time to Visit: Stroll Trần Phú for calm streets and cheap sidewalk coffee in early morning; grab a warm bánh mì and enjoy a very Vietnamese café moment. Then walk into Han Market to shop for gifts and have lunch.
Must-Try #1: Nem Lụi & Bò Lá Lốt (Vietnamese Pork Lemongrass Skewer & Grilled Beef in Lolot Leaf)
Often sold near bánh xèo counters. At Han Market, you can eat nem lụi (Vietnamese Pork Lemongrass Skewer) straight off the skewer or roll it with herbs and rice paper. Try Bò Lá Lốt (Grilled Beef in Lolot Leaf) for smoky, herb-bright flavors and a satisfying crunch from fresh greens.
Must-Try #2: Bánh Cuốn (Steamed Rolled Rice Pancake )
Soft rice sheets topped with fried shallots, slices of ham, quick-pickled carrot/kohlrabi or papaya, and herbs. The star is the dipping sauce – a sweet-sour fish sauce with garlic and chili. Each stall has its own blend, which is why this simple dish tastes different (and memorable) from place to place.
Other Popular Foods to Try
- Bánh Mì (Vietnamese Bread)
- Bánh Xèo (Crispy Vietnamese Pancake)
- Ốc Hút (Stir-Fried Snails)
- Mì Quảng (Quang Styled Noodle)
Perfect Ending: Chè Sâm (Ching Bo Leung)
A humble but nutrient-packed dessert made with Chinese herbs. It’s gently sweet, cool, and refreshing, great after salty or spicy snacks, especially on hot days.
For a quick reference, here are other markets I often recommend:
Hoa Khanh Market (Chợ Hòa Khánh) – Biggest Market in West Da Nang
Address: Au Co, Da Nang
Hoa Khanh Market is the biggest market in west Da Nang, far from the tourist center. This market has many different foods at very cheap prices, mainly for students and workers.
Hoa Cuong Wholesale (Chợ Đầu Mối Hòa Cường)
Address: Le Thanh Nghi, Da Nang
Hoa Cuong Wholesale Market is Da Nang’s main hub for fresh produce and seafood. Every morning, vendors buy in bulk here before reselling at smaller markets across the city
Nguyen Tri Phuong (Chợ Nguyễn Tri Phương)
Address: Nguyen Quang Bich, Da Nang
There is a lot of breakfast foods around here like: xôi gà (chicken sticky rice), bánh mì, bún thịt heo (vermicelli with fish sauce), mì Quảng, and bánh xèo (pancake),.. It’s lively, affordable, and wonderfully local.
Dong Da Market (Chợ Đống Đa)
Address: 42 Luong Ngoc Quyen, Da Nang
Dong Da isn’t curated for visitors; it’s a home-cook’s hub with low prices and straight-to-the-point vendors. If you like everyday scenes over staged experiences, this compact market delivers a quiet slice of real Da Nang.
Cam Le Market (Chợ Cẩm Lệ)
Address: Hoang Xuan Han, Da Nang
Neat, well-managed, and divided into clear zones, Cam Lê makes market grazing simple. Goods are varied and fresh, and there’s a notably good seafood area tucked behind.
Night Markets – Best Da Nang Street Food Markets After Dark
Da Nang street food markets don’t stop at daytime – the city also lights up with night markets full of seafood, snacks, and local vibes.
An Thuong Night Market (Chợ đêm An Thượng)
Address: 29 An Thuong 29, Da Nang
Compact and steps from the sea, An Thượng caters to foreigners with lots of easy seafood and café options. It’s a one-lap kind of market: fun, quick, and light, so I often suggest saving it for your last night and spending earlier evenings at bigger food hubs.
Son Tra Night Market (Chợ đêm Sơn Trà)
Address: An Hai, Da Nang
Right by the Dragon Bridge, this market spreads out with grilled rice paper, snails, chè, milk tea, mì Quảng, bánh bèo, bánh xèo, and pork rolls, plenty to build a casual dinner. Aim for Fri-Sun so you can eat, stroll, and then catch the fire-breathing show around 9:00 PM. It’s the easiest “snack-and-spectacle” combo in the city.
Bach Dang Night Market (Chợ đêm Bạch Đằng)
Address: Bach Dang, Da Nang
More promenade than market: clean sidewalks, plenty of coffee shops and restaurants, easy parking, and a long river view. Come for a gentle stroll, grab a drink or dessert, and watch the lights dance on the water.
Le Duan Night Market (Chợ đêm Lê Duẩn)
Address: Le Duan, Da Nang
Super small and retail-focused, with just a few food stalls at the gate. The good news: Le Duan Street itself is lined with local eats, soy milk stands, chè, balut, and more, so a quick loop easily turns into a low-key street-snack crawl.
How to Use This Guide Like a Local
Here are a few tips to help you have a smoother trip like a local:
- Carry small cash so you can order fast.
- Watch where locals queue, that line is better than any online rating.
- If a dish leans salty (like bún mắm), sip tea afterward and keep going.
- When you ride a motorbike to beach-area markets, expect a small parking fee (around 3,000 VND).
- And above all, treat vendors with patience: a smile and a “cảm ơn” stretch further than you think.
Start where the sea breeze is close at Bac My An, climb into the city’s heartbeat, pick souvenirs between sips at Han, and let the night markets light your way back to the river.
