Looking for pho near My Khe Beach? Check out Pho Cuon in the An Thuong area!

Standing at the beach access point and opening your map to find a pho spot, you'll see dozens of pins pop up simultaneously within a few hundred meters. They're scattered throughout a small neighborhood right behind you, where streets intersect in a grid, and at first glance, they all look quite similar. That area is called An Thượng.

Quick Answer: Phố Cuốn is located in the An Thượng area, on the 1st floor of Furama Dining House — a four-story building, with a different restaurant on each floor. It's a short distance from Mỹ Khê beach, but that distance varies depending on where you access the beach, so please measure from your actual location rather than relying on a general number. The full address and map link are on the restaurant's page.

Why "near Mỹ Khê" is a poor way to give directions

Mỹ Khê isn't a single point; it's a long stretch of coastline. "Near Mỹ Khê" measured from one end of the beach versus the other can differ so much that it's the difference between a walkable distance and needing a taxi. Therefore, any general walking time estimates for the entire beach aren't useful for a specific person — even if that number is accurate for the person who wrote it.

A more reliable way to navigate is to change your reference point. Don't use the beach as your reference; instead, use the An Thượng area as your landmark, then measure from your current location to that area on your own map. An Thượng is a small and dense area, so once you're inside, everything is within walking distance; the only remaining task is to get from your current spot to the edge of the area.

An Thượng from a map's perspective

The most important thing to remember, and useful even when your phone battery dies: the sea is to the east. Head towards the open light and the sound of waves to reach the beach; go the opposite way to delve deeper into the area. Just knowing whether you're heading in or out will eliminate half of the potentially wrong turns.

The rest is about the area's layout. An Thượng is situated between the coastal road and the main inner thoroughfares, directly behind the beach strip; most streets in the area are named An Thượng followed by a number, intersecting almost perpendicularly to form a grid. This is both an advantage and a challenge: easy because you can't get lost for long in a grid, difficult because street corners look very similar, and names only differ by a number.

This area is usually busier with vehicles in the evening than in the morning, so if you're driving, it's worth asking about parking beforehand. This type of information changes seasonally and hourly, and the restaurant itself is the most reliable source for accurate answers, more so than any article.

How to recognize it once you arrive

This is where people often miss a step: having the correct address doesn't guarantee you've found the right restaurant. Furama Dining House isn't one restaurant; it's four restaurants stacked on top of each other — each floor featuring a distinct brand, a separate kitchen, and a unique menu. If you go to the wrong floor, you're still at the correct address, but you'll be looking at an entirely different menu.

The floor directory, worth a quick glance before heading up:

• 1st Floor — Phố Cuốn, Vietnamese cuisine. This is the floor with pho bowls, and the one you need if you're reading this article.
• 2nd Floor — Thai Siam Kitchen, Thai cuisine.
• 3rd Floor — Steakhouse The Fan, steak.
• 4th Floor — Hura Izakaya, Japanese izakaya-style dishes.

Practical implication: when meeting friends, making a reservation, or asking for directions from someone there, always mention both the restaurant name and the floor number, not just the building name — all four names above are behind the same door. Four Flavors, One Address tells you more about the entire building.

Once you reach the 1st floor, the signs are quite clear: wooden tables and chairs, a menu board on the wall, and a pho section at the beginning of the menu. If you want to be sure you're in the right place, two names to cross-reference in that section are Phở Bò Bắp Hoa 80,000đ and Phở Gà 80,000đ.

If you want to see what the restaurant looks like beforehand, along with the full address and map link, the Phố Cuốn restaurant page has it all. If you've arrived but aren't sure what to order, the 1st floor menu lists each dish category. If you're visiting early in the morning, Breakfast after a Swim is written for that time frame, and if this is your first time ordering a bowl of pho, How to Order and Customize guides you step-by-step.

Ask for directions before you go

Is it far to walk from the beach?

The honest answer is, it depends on where you access the beach. Mỹ Khê beach stretches for a long distance, and two people both saying "I'm at Mỹ Khê" could be kilometers apart. The only reliable way is to open your map from your exact location — it takes a few seconds and gives you your own specific number, rather than an average that doesn't apply to anyone.

What name should I type on the map to find the right place?

Typing either the restaurant name or the building name will work, but double-check the results by area: the correct spot must be within the An Thượng neighborhood. There are many similarly named locations in Đà Nẵng, and a pin outside this area is almost certainly a different place. The map link on the restaurant's page is the most reliable route as it points directly to the confirmed coordinates.

Are the restaurants in the same building considered one place?

No, and this has a very practical consequence when going with a group: meeting "at the building" isn't a specific meeting at all. Each floor has its own tables and staff, so the first person to arrive might be seated on one floor while the later arrival is searching on another. Be sure to confirm the floor number in your meeting message. As for whether you can order dishes from one floor to a table on another, please ask the restaurant, as that depends on each establishment's policy.
