Bún chả cá 109 — Attraction in Đà Nẵng

"Extremely disappointed and appalled!”

I visited this restaurant with high expectations, but unfortunately, they were completely shattered. From the moment I arrived, the staff ignored me, and I had to repeatedly try to place my order. After four attempts, they finally brought out my dish.

When it finally arrived, I was shocked: the bowl was mostly filled with noodles and broth, with just a couple of fish balls floating in it. The broth wasn’t bad, but as I soon found out, those fish balls contained meat. As a pescatarian for over nine years, I tried to ask the staff about the dish’s ingredients, but it took so long to get any answers that I was close to giving up. When they eventually confirmed that there was meat in it, I realized I couldn’t eat it.

I ended up leaving the restaurant hungry and, unfortunately, with unpleasant side effects from trying the dish. To pay, I placed money on the table, but one of the staff quickly grabbed it and then yelled at me, accusing me of not paying! When I explained that the money was already on the table and they had taken it themselves, the situation calmed down slightly, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Extremely rude service, complete disregard for requests, and no respect for dietary restrictions. If you are a pescatarian or simply value polite service, avoid this restaurant...

We ate bun Cha CA here today and ordered the #1 bun cha ca+ can hoi ( tuna) and #5 ( bun Cha CA + rieu + Cha cua) but instead they gave us #5 and #6. Totally messed up the order badly on both bowls. I told them where the tuna is and they stunned so I said that's alright I'll keep this bowl just give me the extra tuna on the side. They ended up charging me extra for the tuna ( their mistake) when I checked out. I complained and they argued back and said they put rieu in that bowl which I don't think they did. Customer service is so bad. There are people coming to the shop and trying to sell us snacks, trinkets, and lottery tickets so it's super weird to tell them no and they kept pushing us to buy stuff from them. Guilt trip...

Delicious Vietnamese fish soup noodles that deserves the recommendation from Michelin. The soup tastes sweet and sour quite like tom yum but without the spicy part. Cooking the soup with pineapples probably contributed to its soury taste. The handmade crab meat balls are tasty and soft. Fishcakes are a bit rough and tough but the sweet taste of the fish paste is strong. I ordered the crabmeat, fishballs option (60kVND) on the first visit and tried the mackerel option (60kVND) on my next visit. Both are equally good. The mackerel tastes fresh even after cooked till very soft. They are quite accustomed to foreigner customers therefore placing orders is...
