This local snail restaurant in Da Nang is very much a neighborhood favorite, simple in style but excellent in quality. The snails are fresh, carefully cleaned, and well prepared. The standout dish is the garlic butter sauce, which is incredibly tasty, rich and fragrant without being too heavy. The sauce is flavorful and pairs perfectly with the snails, especially when eaten with bread. The space is casual and usually busy in the evening, with reasonable prices for the quality. Overall, it is a great place to enjoy delicious, authentic local snail dishes in Da Nang.
Staff are quite good and attentive, but the food really has no flavor. The snails seem not fresh, and the potatoes are not fragrant either :)
The food is okay in my opinion. Not really excellent.
The experience was quite bad. Our table arrived first and ordered the same dishes as a later table. However, our table didn't get served first; the other table got their food before us. When asked, they said our order had been skipped and was being prepared, but shortly after, the later table still received the same dishes we had ordered earlier before our table. My partner and I were unhappy and paid for the dishes that hadn't been served and left.
Food is okay, fresh octopus sauce. The strange claw is crushed, eating it doesn't feel anything.
Service was terribly slow, 30-40 minutes for the first dish, then waited a very long time for the next dish, many items were missing, the food was not tasty, and the portions were small.
The food is okay, the space is quite small and the dishes take a long time to be served. Because they don't cook according to each order but wait for all tables' orders to be placed at once, then cook everything together and serve all dishes at the same time, so the serving order is unreasonable. For example, when we finished eating the snails or the snails had already gone cold, the bread was just brought out. We have a small child, so we asked the restaurant to serve the rice and noodles first, but they finished all the snail dishes before bringing the rice and noodles. As a result, the kids were starving while watching the adults eat snails.
Delicious, reasonable price, fast serving
Spicy food. Small children won't be able to eat it. The seasoning is rich and quite delicious.
Expensive... sometimes more than the shops in Saigon and Hanoi in this budget segment, but the quality and deliciousness are not commensurate...
The seafood is not fresh, especially the plate of sea snails with salted egg sauce, which tastes like old snails and is quite fishy. The seafood is not cleaned thoroughly and still has sand. The portion size and quality of the dishes are not worth the price paid.
Delicious at affordable prices
Edible, known through the internet, should try once
Not as expected
I went on a rainy day, so the restaurant was quite empty, making it comfortable to chat. The food was decent. The dipping sauce was to my taste but a bit spicy (since I can't eat spicy food). The restaurant's location is easy to find, and the staff are friendly.
The worst experience during this trip to Da Nang. The food is both expensive and not tasty. The grilled oysters with scallion oil were cold and very fishy. The oysters were thin, and the grilled filling was pitifully small. Overall, the food is expensive and not tasty either.
I happened to eat during a batch where the snails weren't very fresh, so I wasn't satisfied.
Temporarily okay
The garlic butter sauce for the sea snails has changed recipe and is terrible. The grilled oysters are undercooked. The dishes took a long time; they had them ready but only served them after being reminded.
Ordered 5 dishes, the garlic butter scallops were okay, the rest were bad. The grilled scallops with scallion oil were served cold even though they just came out of the oven. The place is only good at PR through paid food reviews; going to Oc Xinh is both cheaper and much better. The clams were tiny, and the steamed Thai-style water was too bland.
The food has an average taste, a few dishes are sweet for my palate. The price is higher than other snail eateries. The bread with butter has little sauce, you only taste the bread. Overall, nothing special.
The snails are seasoned quite well. The shop is small but has quite a lot of seating. For takeout orders, it takes about 30 minutes to have all the dishes ready. The staff give good advice and work quickly. However, compared to other snail eateries, this place needs improvement in portion sizes and the quantity of snails sold. Coming several times and always finding the garlic snails sold out is a bit disappointing and not worth the trip. I hope next time I visit, the garlic snails will be available.
- Babylonia snails with salted egg sauce, sweet sauce full of butter flavor. Quite disappointing that this dish is the most expensive (120k) but I like it the least. - Fried chicken cartilage with fish sauce that I thought was fried onion with fish sauce, too much onion. - Razor clams I ate had a slight smell, the spicy sauce leans sour (?) - Steamed chip chip with pineapple, delicious broth - Oysters are not very good, the scallion oil flavor is not clear. - Prices are average except for babylonia snails, the eatery is not too spacious
The food is average, not very fresh, expensive
