What to Eat in An Thuong Da Nang? From Morning Pho to Late-Night Izakaya

WHAT TO EAT IN AN THUONG? A DAY FROM MORNING PHO TO A HIGHBALL AFTER MIDNIGHT

Just back from the beach in the morning, a hot bowl of pho sounds perfectly reasonable. At lunchtime, if you're looking for a change, Tom Yum starts to beckon. As An Thuong lights up, steak and wine bring a different rhythm. And if 10 PM isn't the end of your day yet, a few skewers of yakitori with a highball might be the answer.

The hardest question in An Thuong isn't "what is there to eat?" but "what should I eat today?" Within just a few streets around My Khe Beach, choices range from Vietnamese, Thai, and Japanese dishes to steak, coffee, bars, and pubs. Instead of making a long list, let's explore the neighborhood through the lens of a single day.

06:30 — After My Khe Beach, start with Vietnamese cuisine

Mornings in Da Nang often start early: the sun rises, joggers run along the beach, and families bring their children to play in the sand. Upon returning from the beach, Vietnamese dishes naturally exert their charm.

On the 1st floor of Furama Dining House, Phố Cuốn opens in the morning with pho, spring rolls (món cuốn), and other Vietnamese dishes. A hot bowl of pho has a delightful structure: broth, rice noodles, meat, onions, herbs, with lime and chili served on the side. If you're dining as a pair, you can each order a main dish and then add a shared plate of spring rolls for the table. The rice paper wrappers encourage everyone to start sharing right from the beginning of the meal.

10:00 — Coffee and time without a rush

Don't overschedule your meals. Part of An Thuong's charm lies in its open spaces: walking, sitting at a cafe, and observing the neighborhood. Vietnamese phin coffee is especially suited to this pace. There's no "skip" button; you have to wait for each drop, and those few minutes of waiting become part of the experience.

12:00 — Head to the 2nd floor, switch to Thai flavors

By lunchtime, taste buds often need a wake-up call. Tom Yum offers a sour and spicy kick, with the aroma of lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves; Som Tam provides a fresh crispness; curry adds warmth and richness. At Thai Siam Kitchen, the dining spirit is different from the first floor: order many dishes, place them in the center of the table, and share. The Ban Khun Mae concept — 'Mother's House' — brings the experience closer to family-style dining.

18:30 — As An Thuong begins to light up

Guests return from the beach, restaurant lights turn on, and the question "what to eat?" transforms into "what mood are we in tonight?" Gentle Vietnamese dishes on the 1st floor; lively Thai tables on the 2nd floor; and if it's a date or a special occasion, head up to the 3rd floor.

19:00 — Steak, wine, and an unhurried evening

Steakhouse The Fan sets a different pace: choose your cut of meat, doneness, side dishes, and a bottle of wine. The menu offers a wide selection of beef, Chef's Signature Board, pasta, pizza, fish, and desserts. This makes it easy for groups with diverse tastes to still share a table. For couples, a steak each and a bottle of wine create a slow, refined evening.

22:00 — No need to rush home

Ten PM doesn't necessarily mean the end of the day. On the 4th floor, Hura Izakaya shifts the rhythm from dinner to a night out with yakitori, robata, sake, and highballs. No need to order a big meal: a few skewers first, a drink, some conversation, then order more if you're enjoying yourselves. That's the Izakaya spirit.

A day can start with a bowl of pho and end with a highball. But what people remember after a trip is sometimes not exactly which dish they ate, but who they ate with, where they sat, and how much fun they had that evening. An interesting culinary neighborhood doesn't just need many restaurants; it needs many moods. An Thuong has just that.
