Central Vietnamese fare featuring signature mì quảng & crispy chicken
"Danang Kitchen specializes in central Vietnamese food and there are a lot of things to like about this casual spot. But it’s the mì quảng that keeps bringing us back all the time. Mì Quảng consists of chewy, turmeric-based rice noodle and a handful of fresh herbs (basil, banana flower, cilantro, perilla, and Vietnamese coriander, to name just a few) sitting in a shallow, strong broth. It's then topped with shrimp, pork, quail eggs, peanuts, and a crunchy, black and white speckled sesame rice cracker that brings the whole thing together. Go order a bowl immediately." - adrian kane, courtney sprewer, veda kilaru, john ringor
"Danang Kitchen has many reasons to visit, like savory rice cakes or bánh mì chảo served on a sizzling skillet with bread and bone marrow. But it’s their mì quảng, a central Vietnamese staple, that made us a regular at this small Uptown restaurant. Each bowl has chewy, turmeric-based rice noodles and fresh herbs (banana flower, cilantro, and Vietnamese coriander are just a few members of the all-star lineup), sitting in a shallow broth. It’s topped with shrimp, pork, quail eggs, peanuts, plus a sesame rice cracker that gives it a little crunch." - john ringor
"What To Order: Mì Quảng Bold flavors, vibrant colors, and numerous textures define this staple dish that originated in the Quảng Nam Province (hence the name). Mì quảng consists of chewy, turmeric-based rice noodles and a handful of fresh herbs (basil, banana flower, cilantro, perilla, and Vietnamese coriander to name just a few) sitting in a shallow, strong broth. Everything is then topped with shrimp, pork, quail eggs, peanuts, and a crunchy, black and white speckled sesame rice cracker that brings the whole thing together." - celebrate argyle, hac tran
"“Growing up, every weekend my parents and I would stop by Argyle after church. One of my favorite spots on Argyle is Danang Kitchen. They have a short rib pho that’s so good. It has Vietnamese meatballs, and they put a giant beef bone in there. The short rib just falls off the bone, and the broth is a nice mixture of lean and fatty. Plus they have really good classic rice dishes and noodle dishes, the whole menu is great.”" - adrian kane
"Mì Quảng There are lots of fantastic Vietnamese restaurants in Uptown just begging to comfort you during this week’s bitter cold. For example, Danang Kitchen. This place’s mì quảng consists of strong broth, chewy turmeric-based rice noodles, and a bunch of fresh herbs (basil, banana flower, cilantro, perilla, and Vietnamese coriander to name just a few) that are guaranteed to add some much-needed brightness to your week. Everything is topped with shrimp, pork, quail eggs, peanuts, and a crunchy black-and-white-speckled sesame rice cracker." - adrian kane, courtney sprewer
