The story
On Le Hong Phong Street in Da Nang, Bún Riêu Cua 39 is a straightforward, family-run eatery that has earned its place on the Michelin Recommended list for 2026. This is a place driven by a single, focused purpose: serving a deeply flavorful bowl of bún riêu cua, the classic Vietnamese crab noodle soup.
The specialty here is a rich, tangy broth made from freshwater crab, tomatoes, and fermented shrimp paste. It’s a labor-intensive dish that requires patience, from extracting the crab meat to achieving the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. The bowl is traditionally topped with tender crab cakes, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of annatto oil for color.
There are no elaborate decorations or complex menus. The atmosphere is purely about the food—a busy, local spot where the focus is on the craft of the soup. For those seeking an authentic taste of central Vietnam, recognized for its quality by one of the world’s most respected dining guides, Bún Riêu Cua 39 offers a genuine and memorable meal.
