Da Nang

Ancient Homeland

Translated from Vietnamese

Que Xua on Nui Thanh Street is the ideal place to try the most unforgettable Da Nang specialty: rice paper rolls with double-skin pork. The piece of meat is boiled and sliced so that both edges have a thin rim of skin, giving it a texture that's both tender and pleasantly chewy — it's wrapped up with a whole basket of vegetables including lettuce, basil, green banana, and cucumber. The secret lies in the bowl of fermented anchovy sauce (mắm nêm) — its bold aroma is strange to foreign visitors at first, but just one bite of a fresh spring roll dipped in it is enough to understand why the people of Đà Nẵng love it so much. The restaurant still cooks Quang noodles very authentically, so you can order an extra bowl to compare it with the one from the morning place. Spacious, clean space with air conditioning, and staff who are familiar with serving tourists — a great fit for families or groups of friends. The MICHELIN Guide has included the restaurant in its Bib Gourmand list, a trustworthy endorsement.
