An Thuong Night Market Food Tour: A Private Night by My Khe Beach

Fish-cake noodle soup, roast veal rolled in rice paper, roast pork with mam nem in the An Thuong food lanes, then sweet corn pudding by the sea at My Khe. It is a private tour: your own car, your own Da Nang guide, your own table. Your guide picks the kitchens, orders and explains each dish. Every dish, and a drink at every stop, is paid before you arrive.

The night, stop by stop

This is a sample night: add, skip or linger over any stop and we will adjust it. The times are the shape of the evening rather than a fixed clock; the night moves from the city towards the sea and ends a few streets from the beach.

Da Nang’s everyday noodle soup: rice vermicelli in a clear fish broth sweetened with pumpkin, tomato and pineapple, with slices of fried and steamed fish cake. You add the chilli, crushed garlic and pickled shallots yourself; your guide shows you how much, and how the broth gets its sweetness without sugar.

A dish from Cau Mong, a village in the former Quang Nam province, now part of Da Nang city, and a Da Nang favourite. A whole calf is roasted over fire until the skin turns golden, then sliced thin, so each piece shows a cooked edge and a pink centre. You lay it on rice paper with herbs, green banana and sour starfruit, roll it, and dip it in a fermented anchovy sauce with chilli and garlic. Your guide rolls the first one with you.

An Thuong is the beach quarter where most of Da Nang’s visitors stay, and its night food area fills from about 18:00 with grills, Vietnamese stalls and Western bars side by side. Your guide skips the obvious picks and sits you down for bun mam nem: cool rice noodles, crisp-skinned roast pork, herbs, shredded green papaya and peanuts, with mam nem stirred through at the end.

It is the most divisive dish in Da Nang and one of the most loved, and your guide will tell you why both are true. If the fermented sauce is a step too far, there is a milder way to eat it.

Short walk or drive · to the beach road

Dessert by the sea: che bap, sweet corn cooked down thick and finished with coconut cream, eaten on the promenade or on the sand. My Khe is the long city beach just past An Thuong; after dark it belongs to local families and evening walkers, and it is the quietest stop of the night.

Back at your hotel · around 21:30 · About 4 hours after pickup

Four stops between the city and the sea, for your group alone

No stops we did not tell you about, nothing to pay at any stall, and any part of the menu can be changed.

Is this the right night for you?

A good fit if

You are staying by the beach and want the night to end by the sea.

You like bold flavours and want someone to explain the fermented ones.

Your group mixes adventurous eaters with careful ones; every stop has a milder way in.

Someone has an allergy or a dish they won’t touch, and you want the menu rebuilt before the night.

Look elsewhere if

Your group is fully vegetarian. Part of this menu can be swapped, but other nights can be cooked meat-free from start to finish.

You want seafood chosen off the ice and the Dragon Bridge. That is the Son Tra night.

You are one person on a tight budget. A shared group food tour will suit you better.

Fermented fish sauce is a firm no for everyone in your group. Two of these dishes lean on it.

We would rather send you to the right night than sell you this one. For a first night of the city’s best-known dishes, or a fully vegetarian one, see the Helio Night Market & Da Nang classics tour. Or tell us what you want to eat, and we will plan a night around it.

Questions before you book

About the night

How long is the tour and when does it start?

It runs About 4 hours door to door, from a 5:30 pm pickup pickup at your hotel, and you are back around 21:30. The An Thuong stop falls when the food lanes are at their liveliest.

Where do you pick us up?

At your own hotel, anywhere in Da Nang, from the beach hotels to the city centre, in a private car with driver. There is no meeting point to find, and your guide waits in the lobby for 20 minutes. Staying in Hoi An? We can collect you there too, for a transfer surcharge shown at checkout, and you are back in Hoi An around 22:30.

How much food is there? Is it dinner?

Yes, treat it as dinner: three savoury stops and dessert by the sea, with one drink at each. Your guide sizes the orders to your group, so there is plenty without a pile of leftovers.

Can we change the menu, the route or the pace?

Yes. The menu on this page is a sample, not a set meal. Tell us what you can’t eat, what you won’t eat and what you would cross town for, and we rebuild the night around your answers before you arrive: no veal, no fermented sauce, grilled chicken instead of roast pork, a plain bowl of noodles for the children. You can also add a stop, skip one or start later. We confirm the plan and an all-inclusive price in writing before you book.

Does the guide speak good English?

Yes. Your guide is a licensed local guide, born and raised in Da Nang, who speaks fluent English and knows these markets stall by stall: who cooks well, who is worth walking past, how to order and what things should cost. They explain how each dish is rolled, dipped and eaten, and why Da Nang loves the sauces visitors find the strangest.

Can we do more than one night?

Yes, and that is how the four tours were built: four markets, four menus, and no dish served twice across them, so you can book one a night and eat something new each time. Pick from Son Tra Night Market & seafood for grilled scallops, squid and the Dragon Bridge, Helio Night Market & Da Nang classics for mi Quang, banh xeo and pork rolls, or Con Market to Le Duan Night Market for Con Market’s steamed rice cakes and an early, lighter evening. Booking two or more? Tell us on WhatsApp and we will put the nights in the best order for the days you have.

Booking and practicalities

Is the price per person or for the whole group?

For the whole group, from one to four guests. The figure shown for two people is the total for both, not each, so the cost per head falls as the group grows, and the car, the guide and the table stay yours alone. Children under 5 travel free and do not count towards the group size; from 5 a child counts as one guest. Five or more of you? Message us and we will quote for a larger vehicle.

How do I pay, and when?

Two ways: pay the full price online by card, or pay a 30% deposit online and the rest in cash on the day of the tour, in US dollars or Vietnamese dong. We can also send a secure payment link on WhatsApp. The booking is confirmed once the online payment goes through, and your pickup time and guide’s name arrive in writing.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Yes — free cancellation up to 3 days before departure for a full refund, and free rescheduling subject to availability. Within 3 days of departure, 30% of the tour price is charged because the car and guide are already committed. Date changes are arranged over WhatsApp.

What about vegetarian, halal or allergy needs?

Tell us when you book, and the menu is rebuilt before the night. Part of this route can be made vegetarian: the dessert already is, and we swap the noodle and veal stops for meat-free dishes; for a fully vegetarian night the Helio tour suits better. For halal diets, bun cha ca broth is often simmered with pork bones, so we check the soup for pork bones and change kitchen or dish if needed; the veal stays only for guests who eat non-certified meat. We swap the roast pork for grilled chicken or seafood, leave out alcohol, and tell you honestly that street kitchens are not halal-certified. The bun mam nem comes with peanuts, which we leave off with a nut allergy.

What happens if it rains?

The tour still runs. You travel between stops in a private car, and your guide moves you to covered stalls and indoor tables, keeping the menu as close to the sample as the night allows; a rainy night is not refunded in part. In heavy rain dessert is eaten under cover rather than on the sand. If you would rather not go, moving the date is free. If a storm or an official weather warning is issued, we move the date with you, and if no other night suits, you get a full refund.

What should I bring, and do I need cash?

Sandals or shoes you do not mind getting sandy, and a light layer for the sea breeze. You do not need cash at any stall: every dish and one drink at each stop are already paid for, and your guide settles every bill. Extra drinks are yours to buy. If you chose to pay the balance in cash, bring it for your guide.

Private car with driver, your own licensed local food guide, hotel pickup, and every dish already settled.
