Bún Chả Cá — Da Nang's signature fish cake noodle soup — costs VND 25,000–40,000 ($1.00–1.60) at local restaurants. This iconic dish features rice noodles in a turmeric-tinted broth topped with fried fish cakes, fish balls, herbs, and chili. Bún Chả Cá Bà Sáu on Lê Hồng Phong street is widely considered the best in the city and has been serving since the 1970s — expect a queue at peak hours but prices stay at VND 30,000–35,000. Tourist restaurants in the Mỹ Khê beach area charge VND 40,000–70,000 for similar versions with less authentic flavour. The dish is best eaten in the morning (before 9am) when the broth is freshest and fish cakes are just fried. Some restaurants serve it only until early afternoon. The turmeric broth is what makes this distinctly Da Nang — you won't find this version in Hanoi or Saigon.
