Không Gian Xưa – A Vietnamese meal inside a 5,000m² garden of old timber houses

Some places you go to for more than the food — you go to sit and look around. Không Gian Xưa on Điện Biên Phủ is one of them: step through the gate and you’re standing in a miniature Vietnamese village. The restaurant occupies roughly 5,000m² at 402 Điện Biên Phủ, Thanh Khê, laid out as a compound of wooden houses rebuilt from salvaged old timber — the owner says some of it is close to 200 years old. Inside are antiques and household objects collected from across the country; outside, ornamental trees and bonsai, stone carvings, old farm tools, and a recreated village scene complete with banyan tree, ferry landing and market. One cycad in the garden is said to be 600 years old. The menu blends Vietnamese and Chinese cooking: BBQ beef, tiger prawns steamed with glass noodles, Sichuan-style spicy beef, gà tiến vua (an imperial-style chicken dish served with sticky rice), seafood hotpot and abalone. Plates arrive beautifully composed — more than one guest has said it feels like dining as an emperor. ✨ Reasons why you should visit: 🏯 A compound of restored timber houses set in a shaded 5,000m² garden, cool all year round. 🍗 Gà tiến vua with sticky rice, BBQ beef and Sichuan spicy beef — the dishes people order most. 🦐 A wide Vietnamese–Chinese menu: tiger prawns with glass noodles, seafood hotpot, abalone. 🎎 Seats up to 500 plus six private rooms — ideal for company dinners, family gatherings and hosting guests, with free car parking. 📍 402 Điện Biên Phủ, Thanh Khê, Da Nang 📞 0236 3730 777 🕐 06:30 – 22:00 daily
