Lẩu Cua Ông Định – A golden crab hotpot, naturally sweet, on Tố Hữu street

When the wind turns in Da Nang and the family wants something hot to gather around — but nothing heavy — Lẩu Cua Ông Định on Tố Hữu is where locals head. The restaurant sits at 170 Tố Hữu, Hòa Cường: a roomy, airy family-style spot, casual but well kept, better suited to a big table than a quiet date. As the name promises, the star is the crab hotpot. The broth glows a deep golden colour from the crab roe and carries a clean, natural sweetness from the crab and seafood rather than a heavy hit of MSG — you taste the difference in the first spoonful. The crab comes from regular suppliers, so the meat is firm and sweet. Beyond the hotpot the kitchen handles seafood well: sea snails in garlic butter or cheese, oysters, big fresh prawns, plus beer-friendly plates like fried pork trotters and spicy stir-fried offal. Staff are warm, and portions are generous — one spread comfortably feeds two. ✨ Reasons why you should visit: 🦀 The signature crab hotpot – a golden, roe-rich broth that’s clean and naturally sweet, never over-seasoned. 🧈 Sea snails in garlic butter or cheese, the dish regulars single out most often. 🍤 Fresh seafood across the board: oysters, large prawns, plus fried pork trotters and spicy stir-fried offal. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Spacious and airy, friendly service, generous portions and fair prices — made for families and groups. 📍 170 Tố Hữu, Hòa Cường, Da Nang 📞 0905 825 895 🕐 10:00 – 22:30 daily
