Hi,

Not alot of restaurants in the US serve mi quang. This is among one of my fav noodle dish that my mom makes, whose from DaLat. She learn to make this dish when she was young, from a woman down an alley selling mi quang. Does anyone know where I can get some decent mi quang in Saigon??

Thanks!

I’ve had Mi Quang at 1A and at other places around Vietnam. However, I find the best mi quang is in Dalat. There’s a woman in the alley next to Doan Thi Diem Elementary School that sells it from 7-8AM ish. If you get there after 8;30AM, most of the time it’s gone. There’s an afternoon place at Ap Anh Sang, Ba` Xi (Madam Xi) but it’s deep within alleys and alleys so will be extremely difficult to give directions. Everyone around there knows where it is so just ask around. She opens around 2PM, don’t bother coming after 4PM because she’ll be sold out.

If you’re ever in the southbay area (redondo beach, torrance) go to a spot called Van Ha. They have good mi quang.

Dear friends,

I spent most of my youth in Danang. I appreciate your interest in Mi Quang, the most popular dish of my countrymen. But 1A HaiPhong is not the right place to know what MiQuang is to be like. In short, if you haven’t been to MiQuang Ba Ngan ( Madam Ngan )on Dong Da st., and Nui Thanh st.,, you will never know the meaning of Mi Quang of Quang Nam.

Youn can also find it out in Saigon at Phu Chiem restaurant and Madam Hoa ’s inn in Tan Binh distrist, or Hoang Cung restaurant in Cantho city, Mekong Delta.

Only sesame rice cracker can accompanize Mi Quang, never shrimp chip. He who interests in Mi Quang can contact me for the long winding story of Mi Quang.

Hey folks, i have been to this place and i would say that it s the best spot for Mi Quang in Da Nang. They have been running this business for many generations. My grandma house is about 10 minutes walking to there!!!

Maybe we went on an off day, but the Mi Quang here was just okay. Funny thing is we’ve had better in the states! Da Nang wasn’t the treasure trove of good eats that we thought we would encounter, but there were some gems in the alley ways. Just a couple of blocks down the street in an alley is a place that serves up one of the better bowls of bun bo hue. Very generic sounding name though – Bun Ba Dao. It’s close to the bridge. We were told by locals that there were some good bun ca places in the alley’s too, but we didn’t get a chance to check them out unfortunately. Hopefully on your next visit you’ll get a chance to try the alleyway goods and blog about them. I would love to see the pictures to remember the experiences we had in vietnam.

great blog, keep up the fantastic work! =)

Mi Quang is one of the strangest dishes in the Vietnamese repertoire — half noodle soup, half noodle salad. The broth functions like a dressing for the other ingredients.

Sorry that you didn’t get toasted banh trang nuong (sesame rice cracker) to round things out. The banh phong tom shrimp chip is a decent stand in.
