If you’re craving authentic Korean cuisine in Da Nang, Meok Ssam is a must-visit. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere gives you the feeling of a homely Korean dining hall, complete with attentive service and an impressive spread of dishes.
We ordered a variety of mains including grilled pork belly, bulgogi beef, and fried mackerel, and everything was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The pork belly was tender and juicy, the bulgogi had that classic balance of sweet and savory with perfectly sautéed mushrooms and garlic, and the fish was crispy on the outside while staying moist inside.
What really stood out was the sheer variety of banchan (side dishes) — there must have been over a dozen! From classic kimchi, pickled vegetables, seasoned spinach, and soy-marinated quail eggs to unique bites like stir-fried anchovies and savory Korean pancakes. The spread truly elevated the meal, giving every bite a new combination of flavors.
The kimchi stew was hearty with just the right amount of spice, and the presentation of the meal felt authentic and generous. Even the smallest details, like fresh garlic slices and green chilies to pair with grilled meats, showed the restaurant’s attention to a true Korean dining experience.
Service was smooth and friendly, and the staff ensured everything was replenished promptly. The portions were generous, making it a great place to come with friends or family to share a feast.
Overall, Meok Ssam offers both quality and authenticity at a reasonable price. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a full Korean meal in Da Nang — come hungry and ready to explore a wide range of delicious flavors!

Read moreThe location is a bit tricky to find, and the restaurant’s decor felt a little unusual. The staff don’t stay in the dining area— the service counter is actually outside of it. Only one female staff member could speak English. The atmosphere wasn’t ideal either, as other diners were speaking quite loudly, and the air conditioning wasn’t turned on until midway through the meal.
We ordered a fish set meal, the fish was overcooked and quite dry. On the bright side, the table was filled with a good variety of side dishes.
It was an acceptable dining experience, though not one that...
