Cô Ba Phở bò

Visited COBA and tried the pho, banh xeo, and seafood stir-fried noodles. Everything was fresh and flavorful, especially the broth of the pho — light but rich in taste. The banh xeo was crispy and paired really well with the fresh vegetables and sauce. The seafood stir-fried noodles were also delicious, with a nice smoky flavor and generous seafood portions. The restaurant atmosphere was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly. Great place for a casual meal in Da Nang. Would definitely visit again!

This is by far the best restaurant I’ve tried in Da Nang. The price-performance ratio is outstanding – you get excellent quality for a very reasonable price. I visited several times during my stay and made a point of trying different dishes each time, and I was never disappointed. Everything I ordered was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The service is also excellent – the staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel very welcome. Both the starters and desserts were just as impressive as the main courses. Overall, I can highly recommend this place. It’s definitely worth visiting more than once!

The pho didn’t feel taste authentic, and the soup wasn’t served hot—just lukewarm, which took away from the experience. The flavor overall was pretty underwhelming too. We just cut the meat to try out but didn’t really eat much the food because of this. Most of the signage and menu were in Korean, so it seems like they mainly cater to a Korean crowd. We actually came because of the high rating, but later found out they offer free ice cream and a 10% discount if you leave a review, which probably explains the inflated scores.

I visited this place with high expectations due to its great rating, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the hype. We ordered two dishes: Pho Bo and Nem Lui. The beef in the Pho was quite unpleasant, and the broth felt watered down—it lacked the deep, rich flavor that a traditional recipe requires. To make matters worse, there was very little beef and almost no noodles in the bowl. As for the Nem Lui, it was clear they had been prepared way in advance; they were dry and "weathered," which made for a very disappointing texture. To top it off, most of the drinks on the menu were unavailable, including basic bottled water. It’s a shame because I really wanted to like this place, but the quality just wasn't there.

This Bánh Xèo was so crispy and packed with fillings. It was so satisfying to eat, especially with all the side toppings and dipping sauce. We also tried the chicken pho and the rib and fish cake thick noodle soup. The chicken pho had a very clear broth while I loved the rib and fish cake noodle soup because the broth was more flavorful. They served a generous amount of meat. However, the noodles were overcooked and stuck together.

It’s unclear why everyone stays silent about this being a terrible place, both in terms of service and food. The waiter greeted us terribly and wouldn’t let us go to the second floor without even asking how many people we were or how long we’d stay, even though we only came for 15 minutes to eat soup. They refused the second floor to create the appearance of a full dining room for passing tourists, even though we wanted to sit with a view of the river. The soup is very expensive, they add too much oil, use strange non-standard meat, and include few vegetables compared to other places. This establishment only succeeds because of its location close to Han Market, where Korean and Chinese tourists come from the market or are brought here by bus. Service 0, food 1. This was my second visit. It only got worse.

The seafood Pho was absolutely delicious! The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, and the seafood was fresh and generously served. One of the best bowls of Pho I’ve had. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back!

Excellent pho with a rich, flavorful broth and tender beef. The ingredients tasted fresh, the service was friendly, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. One of the best bowls of pho I’ve had in Da Nang. Highly recommended!
