When eating seafood in Da Nang, the seafood restaurants lining My Khe Beach are usually the first candidates. At many of them, you pick your seafood from a tank, tell the staff how you'd like it cooked, and pay by weight — which can be confusing for first-timers when it comes to ordering and paying.
In this article, we've organized 9 Da Nang seafood restaurants bookable through the restaurant reservation service "AutoReserve" by map and area. Beyond AutoReserve's own listings, we checked each restaurant's official website and social media, the 2026 Michelin Guide, Google Maps, and review sites, and noted the source for each restaurant's entry (as of September 2026).

How to order seafood sold by weight without surprises
At restaurants where you pick seafood from a tank, the menu often lists prices by weight rather than by plate. Knowing how the ordering process works will save you from a surprise at the bill.
Prices are often written “per kg”
Shrimp, crab, and shellfish are often priced by “/kg” or “/100g.” Before ordering, it's safest to ask staff roughly how much a portion will weigh and agree on the quantity before it's cooked.
| Example listings | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1kg 900.000đ | 900,000 dong per kg. 500g would be 450,000 dong |
| 100g 120.000đ | 120,000 dong per 100g — 1,200,000 dong if converted to 1kg |
| thời giá / theo giá thị trường | Market price. Always ask the price before ordering |
Vietnamese dong amounts have a lot of digits, so converting to yen on your phone's calculator as you order helps avoid mistakes.
Ordering the cooking method in Vietnamese speeds things up
The same ingredient can taste very different depending on how it's cooked. Even at restaurants with no English on the menu, showing the words below will get your order across.
| Preparation | Vietnamese | Good with |
|---|---|---|
| Steamed | hấp | Shrimp, shellfish, crab |
| Grilled | nướng | Squid, fish, shrimp |
| Grilled with scallion oil | nướng mỡ hành | Scallops, oysters |
| Stir-fried with garlic | xào tỏi | Shellfish, water spinach |
| Salt-fried | rang muối | Crab, shrimp |
| Stir-fried with tamarind | rang me | Crab, shrimp |
| Boiled | luộc | Shrimp, crab |
If you can't handle spice, adding “không cay” (not spicy) will get the message across.
What to check before paying the bill
- The weight and unit price of the seafood you ordered (whether it's written on the receipt)
- Whether the bill includes dishes or drinks you didn't order
- Whether the wet towel and peanuts placed on the table are charged for
- Whether a service charge or VAT is added separately
- Whether cards are accepted or it's cash only
For how to think about tipping, seeour article on tipping in Vietnam: typical amounts and how to hand it over, and for cash on hand, seeour article on how to exchange money in VietnamThis is covered in more detail here. If table manners during the meal are a concern, seeVietnamese dining etiquetteis also worth a look.
Which restaurant to pick, depending on the occasion
Even among seafood restaurants, the right choice depends on when in your trip you're going. Based on opening hours and area, here are three examples of how to pick.
Arriving in the evening, or wanting to eat late
Da Nang Airport is close to the city center, so you can still go for seafood even after arriving on a night flight. Choosing a restaurant that stays open late means you can make it even after dropping your bags at the hotel.
- ③ Hải Sản Bé Ni 2: Open 24 hours (per the Michelin Guide)
- ⑧ Lão Đại Seafood: Open 24 hours (per Google Maps)
- ① Hải Sản Bé Mặn: Open until midnight (per the Michelin Guide)
Wanting a relaxed meal with family or a group
For a large party, a restaurant with a private room or a spacious floor will feel more comfortable. When booking, state your group size and note if you'd like a private room.
- ② Brilliant Seafood Restaurant: VIP private rooms on floors 2–4 (up to 40 guests, per the official site)
- ⑨ Nhà hàng Chân Trời Góc Bể: Has a garden and private rooms (Hello Đà Nẵng, updated December 2025)
- ⑤ Nhà hàng Hải Sản Biển Việt: Multiple floors, with live-seafood tanks on the ground floor and seating upstairs (per the official site)
Celebrating an anniversary, or going for lobster
If lobster is the main event, a specialist restaurant or one that publishes its by-weight prices is the easier choice.
- ⑦ Canadian Lobster: Known for Canadian lobster (1,000,000–3,000,000 dong per person, per Foody)
- ④ Thèm Hải Sản: Lobster sashimi and more, with prices per 100g listed on the official menu
- ① Hải Sản Bé Mặn: Lobster is also featured in the Michelin Guide entry
A ride-hailing app is convenient for getting around. For how to use one, seeour article on how to use ride-hailing apps in Vietnamwhich walks through the steps.
How booking through AutoReserve works
AutoReserve is a service that lets you search for and book restaurants around the world in Japanese. Many of Da Nang's seafood restaurants are booked through AutoReserve's “reservation proxy” service, where AutoReserve contacts the restaurant on your behalf to hold a table.
The difference between an instant booking and a booking on request
| Method | How it works | When it's confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Instant booking | For restaurants connected to AutoReserve, you book instantly by checking available seats | Confirmed the moment you book |
| Booking on request | For restaurants that mainly take phone reservations, AutoReserve contacts them on your behalf to check availability | You're notified of confirmation by email or in-app notification once the restaurant replies |
This proxy reservation service takes time while waiting for the restaurant's reply. Once you know the date you want to go, it's safest to submit the request by the day before.
4 steps from booking to your visit
- Open the restaurant on AutoReserve and request a booking with your date, time, and party size
- For a booking on request, AutoReserve contacts the restaurant to check availability (not yet confirmed at this point)
- You'll receive a "booking confirmed" notice by email or app notification
- Show up at the restaurant on your reserved date and time
A reservation isn't always guaranteed
- A booking may not go through if the restaurant is fully booked, among other reasons
- Due to relocations or multiple branches, the address listed on AutoReserve may differ from the actual one. Please check the address in your booking confirmation
- Business hours and closing days may change, so please check the restaurant's page for the latest information
Frequently asked questions
Here are answers to questions travelers often ask before visiting Da Nang's seafood restaurants.
Summary
Da Nang's seafood restaurants are easiest to choose from three areas: north Mỹ Khê Beach, south Mỹ Khê Beach and around An Thượng, and around the Dragon Bridge and along Thuận Phước Bay. At restaurants selling by weight, the basic rule is to confirm the weight and unit price before having it cooked.
All nine restaurants featured in this article are listed on AutoReserve. Where a restaurant's address needs extra attention due to relocation, a note has been added in its section.
