The story
Bánh Xèo Tôm Nhảy Năm Hiền, located on Phan Thanh Street in Da Nang’s Thanh Khe District, earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026 for its good quality, good value cooking. The restaurant’s name translates to “crispy pancake with jumping shrimp,” and that is exactly what draws locals and travelers alike.
The specialty is bánh xèo, the classic Vietnamese savory pancake made from rice flour, turmeric, and coconut milk, cooked until lacy and crisp. Here, the filling features fresh shrimp that are still lively – “nhảy” meaning jumping – ensuring a sweet, briny pop of flavor. The pancakes are served with a basket of herbs and a dipping sauce that balances fish sauce, lime, and chili.
This is straightforward, honest cooking that reflects the best of Da Nang’s street-food tradition. The Bib Gourmand recognition highlights the restaurant’s commitment to quality ingredients and technique at an accessible price point. For anyone seeking an authentic taste of Vietnamese cuisine in Da Nang, Bánh Xèo Tôm Nhảy Năm Hiền is a must-visit.
