If you’re looking to try something uniquely Vietnamese while in Đà Nẵng, bánh mì thính is a hidden gem worth seeking out. This local specialty puts a flavorful twist on the classic bánh mì, infusing it with textures and aromas that truly stand out.
Bánh mì thính is essentially a grilled pork or pork skin sandwich filled with thính—a fragrant powder made from roasted rice that’s finely ground. This roasted rice powder adds a nutty, toasty flavor and a slight crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft pork and fresh herbs. Inside the crusty French baguette, you’ll usually find slices of tender pork, cucumber, pickled vegetables, and a generous sprinkle of thính, all tied together with chili, fish sauce, and fresh herbs like cilantro or Vietnamese perilla.
What makes this sandwich special in Đà Nẵng is the attention to freshness and balance. The bread is always crispy on the outside and warm on the inside, and every bite gives you a mix of savory, sweet, sour, and spicy notes. It’s not just street food—it’s a sensory experience.
Many locals enjoy bánh mì thính as a light breakfast or midday snack, often paired with a cup of iced coffee or soy milk. It’s affordable, filling, and delivers bold flavors in a compact, handheld form.

The owner graciously assembled my requested sandwich and hot ginger tea. The warm bread was light and crispy to bite into. I also love that the sandwich included a fried egg and jalapenos to add to the tastiness of the sandwich... Luckily, I go to acupuncture in the neighborhood so will plan to eat there...
