Thìa Gỗ Restaurant Da Nang

The restaurant has quite a Vietnamese atmosphere, with warm decor and a comfortable dining ambiance, making it a place that tourists can easily visit.

When entering the restaurant, they are very welcoming, but I found the design of the overhead ceiling fans not very friendly; the local weather is hot, and having a sudden gust of wind from above can actually make one feel uncomfortable, potentially catching a cold!

Now, about the food, we ordered pho, spring rolls, and turmeric cakes.

❤️ The spring rolls performed quite well, with a chewy outer skin and fresh vegetables and herbs inside. They tasted refreshing and went well with the dipping sauce, making it the best dish of the meal for me.

❤️ The turmeric cakes have a subtle turmeric aroma, with a slightly crispy exterior. The flavor is quite unique; it's distinctive but not astonishing. After having tasted some amazing ones at other places before, this one feels a bit overshadowed!

❤️ The pho was more ordinary. The broth was sweet, but overall the flavor was rather mild, lacking depth. To be honest, compared to the pho I’ve had in Taiwan, I find the Taiwanese version more to my taste. However, the noodles had a decent texture, and overall it was just average.

In general, it’s a restaurant with a nice ambiance and stable food offerings, but nothing particularly impressive. If it's on your way, you could give it a try, but I wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way to revisit.
