Local Pricing Context
Mì Quảng — Da Nang's iconic turmeric noodle dish — costs VND 25,000–40,000 ($1.00–1.60) at local restaurants. This Central Vietnamese specialty features wide rice noodles tinted with turmeric in a small amount of rich, concentrated broth, topped with pork, shrimp, peanuts, rice crackers, and fresh herbs. Unlike phở (which has lots of broth), Mì Quảng uses minimal broth that concentrates flavour. Mì Quảng Bà Vị on Trần Bình Trọng street is widely considered the best in Da Nang. The pork and shrimp version is classic, though chicken and quail egg variations exist. Tourist restaurants charge VND 40,000–65,000 for the same dish with an English menu. Da Nang is the true home of Mì Quảng — versions elsewhere in Vietnam don't compare in authenticity. The dish is best at breakfast or lunch; many dedicated Mì Quảng shops close by 2pm.
