NU ĐỒ Kitchen - MasterChef Noodle — Restaurant in Đà Nẵng

At NU ĐỒ Kitchen, Chef Carol Pham reimagines Mi Quang, Da Nang’s signature noodle dish, infusing it with global flavors and personal history. Drawing from her upbringing in Điện Bàn and culinary experiences in Malaysia and India, she introduces subtle twists—like a hint of cinnamon in the beef broth or Malaysian curry spices in the fish version—that elevate tradition without overshadowing it.

The menu is concise yet impactful. Standouts include the Fish Noodle ($3.80), rich with turmeric and a gentle heat; the Chicken Noodle ($3.80), featuring tender meat and aromatic shallots; and the Beef Noodle ($4), hearty with a peppery kick. Vegetarians will appreciate the macrobiotic bowl ($3.60), loaded with seasonal vegetables and a savory soy-based sauce.

Enhance your meal with crispy rice crackers, a soft-boiled egg, or a side of fried spring rolls. Pair it with their signature iced Vietnamese coffee (~$2) for a refreshing finish.

Set in a traditional Vietnamese-style house with yellow walls and a leafy courtyard, NU ĐỒ offers a tranquil escape from the city’s hustle. It’s more than a meal; it’s a journey through Central Vietnam’s culinary landscape, seen through the eyes of a chef who honors her roots while embracing innovation.

Food: 3/5 I ordered the special chicken noodle, but it was nothing exceptional. Comparable Mỳ Quảng dishes can be found throughout Đà Nẵng at a fraction of the cost, even though the portion size was the same. While the noodles were thick and smooth, as shown in the photo, they needed to be separated. The chicken was well-cooked, yet the quantity felt insufficient, resembling a 20k noodle dish.

Atmosphere: 2/5 The establishment boasts a pleasant setting with excellent facilities and design. However, the decision to direct the misting system towards the noodle seems counterproductive to enhancing the taste. As someone who even isn't a chef, I found this to be a definite drawback.

Service: 1/5 I waited 45 minutes for my noodle during a non-busy period. The staff were amicable and apologetic for the delay, but the professionalism didn't match the price point. One young staff member's noisy motorbike arrival and departure were quite disruptive and unpleasant. He seemed to be in quite a hurry for no apparent reason. Interestingly, once he got off the motorbike, he casually adjusted his hair, almost like a TikTok idol. It definitely added a humorous touch to...

I tried the beef noodle with an extra fish on the side, and it was a unique and enjoyable experience. Their beef noodle dish resembles a Chinese-style noodle with aromatic oil gravy, served with wide, flat noodles similar to biang biang mien. The sauce is distinct, not overly spicy, with a strong turmeric note that sets it apart.

One standout feature is that they provide eating directions to help you get the most out of the dish—definitely follow them for the best experience! The fish was soft and flavorful, with no unpleasant fishy smell.

I’ve had mi Quang at other local restaurants, and while this version differs quite a bit (some might debate whether it qualifies as mi Quang), I personally prefer it. The flavors were well-balanced and satisfying.

One tip: avoid sitting outside. The mosquitos are relentless and will enjoy their meal as much as you enjoy yours!

Overall, a solid spot for flavorful noodles with a twist. Would recommend...
