Shopping Malls in Da Nang: Best Places to Shop, Eat and Have Fun

Da Nang has a growing selection of modern shopping malls, supermarkets and mixed-use shopping centers — everything from large retail complexes with international brands and cinemas to convenient hypermarkets stocked with groceries, imported goods and everyday essentials.

The best shopping mall for you really depends on what you're after. Vincom Plaza is the easy pick for fashion and international brands, AEON MALL Da Nang Thanh Khe is the newest and most talked-about mall in town, Lotte Mart is your practical choice for groceries and Korean products, and Indochina Riverside Mall is ideal if you want to pair shopping with a walk along the Han River. And if you're chasing local food, souvenirs, or a more traditional experience, Da Nang's markets are often the better call than any mall.

Best Shopping Malls in Da Nang at a Glance

1. Vincom Plaza Ngo Quyen

  • Address: 910A Ngo Quyen Street, An Hai Bac Ward, Son Tra District
  • Hours: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM (Monday–Friday); 9:30 AM – 10:00 PM (Saturday–Sunday)
Vincom Plaza is one of Da Nang's most established modern malls, and it's especially convenient if you're staying around Son Tra, the Han River, or My Khe Beach. It brings together fashion, beauty, lifestyle stores, dining, and entertainment under one roof — think H&M, Adidas, and Levi's, alongside a CGV cinema and dedicated kids' entertainment (TiniWorld).

What to shop for: fashion and sportswear, shoes and accessories, cosmetics and personal care, home and lifestyle goods, gifts and everyday items.

Entertainment and dining: Beyond the racks, you can catch a movie, drop the kids at the indoor play area, or grab a bite at the fourth-floor food court. The riverside location also makes it easy to fold a shopping stop into a day of sightseeing.

Best for: Travelers who want a convenient, air-conditioned mall with fashion brands, entertainment and dining all in one place.

2. AEON MALL Da Nang Thanh Khe

  • Address: 46 Dien Bien Phu Street, Thanh Khe District
  • Hours:
    • Specialty stores 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM (Monday–Friday), 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM (Saturday, Sunday & holidays)
    • The AEON supermarket and department store section opens earlier, from 8:00 AM
The newest big name in Da Nang shopping welcomed its first visitors on July 1, 2026, with a formal grand opening on July 3 — making it the city's largest mall to date. It occupies the first four floors (roughly 21,000 square meters of leasable space) inside the Nguyen Kim Complex Tower, an 18-story mixed-use building on Dien Bien Phu Street developed by TTC Group.

The mall brings a distinctly Japanese-style retail experience to central Da Nang, with AEON itself as the anchor and around 54 specialty stores alongside it — including the city's first UNIQLO and MUJI locations, plus JINS, KKV, Foot Locker, Lacoste, Tommy Hilfiger, Charles & Keith, PEDRO, Nike, Adidas, and Crocs. On the entertainment side, look for Timezone, Kid's Box Jumbo, Photoism, and a six-screen Galaxy Cinema — the first in Vietnam to combine Dolby Vision with Dolby Atmos.

What to shop for: Japanese lifestyle products, fashion and casual clothing, cosmetics and beauty, household goods, groceries and packaged foods, souvenirs and everyday essentials.

Dining and entertainment: The food court leans heavily into Japanese, Thai, Chinese and other Asian cuisines, alongside familiar names like Starbucks, Highlands Coffee, and KFC.

Best for: Visitors chasing Japanese brands, a genuinely modern shopping environment, groceries, and family-friendly entertainment.

3. Lotte Mart Da Nang

  • Address: 6 Nai Nam Street, Hoa Cuong Bac Ward, Hai Chau District
  • Hours: 7:30 AM – 10:00 PM daily (the 5th-floor cinema and entertainment area opens from 9:00 AM)
Lotte Mart is one of the most practical stops in the city, especially if you want to combine a supermarket run with fashion, dining and entertainment in one trip. The complex spans several floors, with a large supermarket section plus shops selling fashion, cosmetics, electronics, and household goods — it's a particularly strong choice for Korean food, snacks and beauty products.

What to shop for: Korean food and snacks, fresh food and groceries, cosmetics, clothes and accessories, household products, imported packaged foods.

Why travelers like it: It's the place to go when you need more than souvenirs — hotel snacks, Vietnamese coffee, packaged food, toiletries and other travel essentials, all in one stop, plus a Lotte Cinema and family entertainment for a longer visit.

Best for: Grocery runs, Korean products, family shopping, and practical travel purchases.

4. GO! Da Nang

  • Address: 255–257 Hung Vuong Street, Vinh Trung Ward, Thanh Khe District
  • Hours: 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM (Monday–Thursday); 8:00 AM – 10:30 PM (Friday–Sunday)
Formerly known as Big C, GO! Da Nang is one of the city's longest-running large-scale retail destinations. It's less about fashion and more about affordable everyday shopping — fresh food, household goods, and daily necessities in the main supermarket, plus a CGV cinema, karaoke rooms, a bookstore, and an indoor play area in the surrounding complex.

What to buy: fresh food, Vietnamese snacks, drinks and packaged food, household products, personal care items, affordable clothing.

Best for: Budget-conscious travelers and everyday grocery runs.

5. Indochina Riverside Mall

  • Address: 74 Bach Dang Street, Hai Chau 1 Ward, Hai Chau District
  • Hours: 9:00 AM – 9:30 PM daily
Indochina Riverside Mall has arguably the best location of any shopping center in the city — right on the Han River, near the Han Bridge, and an easy walk from the central tourist area. Rather than being a large hypermarket, it leans into fashion, accessories, cosmetics, dining and entertainment across three main levels, with brands like Pedro, Giordano, and Samsonite.

What makes it different: The setting is the real draw. Shop, grab coffee or a meal, then stroll along Bach Dang Street and the river. There's also a Pump Game arcade and a 500-seat food court for a break between stores.

Best for: Travelers who want to combine shopping with dining and sightseeing in central Da Nang.

6. Helio Center

  • Address: 01 Duong 2 Thang 9, Hoa Cuong Bac Ward, Hai Chau District
  • Hours:
    • Night market (B.Fair): approximately 5:00 PM – 11:00 PM daily
    • Metiz Cinema opens earlier, from around 9:30 AM daily — individual zones can run on slightly different schedules, so it's worth checking the official Helio page before heading over
Helio Center isn't quite a conventional shopping mall — it's better described as Da Nang's largest entertainment and lifestyle complex, spread across more than 35,000 square meters.

Worth knowing before you go: Helio closed in September 2025 for a major renovation, and reopened with a new look. The night market has been rebranded as B.Fair, marketed as a "next-generation lifestyle night market" and Vietnam's first "art mall" concept, and a newer addition called SODABAK has been rolling out as part of the relaunch. Throughout the renovation, Metiz Cinema — a five-screen theater with Dolby 7.1 sound — stayed open on the ground floor and remains one of the complex's steadiest draws.

Things to do at Helio: catch a film at Metiz Cinema, browse B.Fair's night-market stalls for food, fashion and souvenirs, check out SODABAK's newest offerings, and take in the occasional seasonal event.

Helio is especially worth visiting in the evening, when the night-market energy really kicks in — a good option after a day of sightseeing. Given the recent relaunch, it's worth double-checking current opening hours and which zones are active before building your evening around it.

Best for: Evening entertainment, food lovers, and younger travelers looking for something a bit different from a standard mall.

Travel Update:

You might spot a couple of familiar names missing from this list — Parkson (at Vinh Trung Plaza) and the old three-floor "Danang Square" at 35 Thai Phien. Both have moved on since many guides were last updated.

Parkson closed its doors across Vietnam back in 2023, save for one last outpost in Ho Chi Minh City, so the Danang branch is no longer around to visit. And the building at 35 Thai Phien has had a glow-up of its own: it's now Diamond Time Complex, a sleek mixed-use spot with offices and serviced apartments, where retail lives on the ground floor rather than spread across three.

Good to know before you build a whole afternoon around either one.

Warehouse-Style Supermarkets and Hypermarkets

For bulk shopping or wholesale-style pricing, Danang has several large-format supermarkets that function more like warehouses than boutique retail spaces.

MM Mega Market Danang
  • Address: 5 Cach Mang Thang 8 Street, Hoa Cuong Nam Ward, Cam Le District.
  • Hours: 6:00 AM – 10:30 PM daily.
Geared toward both wholesale and retail customers, with a strong reputation for fresh produce, dry goods, and imported items, plus a dedicated corner for Danang and central Vietnam specialty products.

MM Supercenter Danang
  • Address:167 Nguyen Sinh Sac Street, Lien Chieu District.
Notable for the Furama Culinary Hub inside, which brings together dining concepts like a dedicated steakhouse and a Chao Shan-style beef hotpot restaurant. (Hours weren't consistently confirmed across sources at the time of writing — call ahead or check Google Maps before a special trip.)

K-Mart Danang
  • Multiple branches, including Lo B01-02-03 Pham Van Dong Street (Son Tra District), 104 Bach Dang Street (Hai Chau District), and 5–7 An Thuong 2 (Ngu Hanh Son District).
The chain markets itself as open 24/7, though individual branch listings vary (commonly 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM), so it's worth confirming the specific branch's hours if you're planning a late-night run.

Co.opmart Danang
Locations on Dien Bien Phu Street and Binh Than Street, each combining grocery shopping with a small food court, bookstore, and children's play area. Standard Co.opmart hours nationwide typically run around 7:30 AM – 9:30 PM daily; confirm locally as hours can vary by branch.

Specialty and Neighborhood Supermarkets

If you're staying in Danang longer, or simply prefer smaller, more curated stores, these local chains are worth knowing. Exact addresses and hours can vary slightly by branch, so a quick map check before heading out is worthwhile:

Danavi Mart
Three locations (Phan Dinh Phung, Le Dinh Ly, and Le Thanh Nghi streets). Popular with residents for clearly sourced products and competitive pricing, even though the stores themselves are modest in size.

Joly Mart
Branches at 31 Yen Bai Street and 465 Tran Hung Dao Street, specializing in health-focused and organic food along with in-store consultation.

Q-Mart
Known for a clean, well-organized shopping environment and attentive staff.

Lstore Danang
A smaller retail option that has picked up strong reviews from travelers on Tripadvisor.

Traditional Markets: Danang's Cultural Shopping Experience

No shopping guide to Danang is complete without its traditional markets. They offer something malls can't replicate — direct contact with local food culture, handmade goods, and prices that reward a bit of friendly bargaining. Most day markets wind down well before dinner, so arrive earlier rather than later for the full selection.

Han Market

  • Address: 119 Tran Phu Street, Hai Chau 1 Ward, Hai Chau District (near the corner of Bach Dang and the Han River)
  • Hours: 6:00 AM – 7:00 PM daily, though stalls thin out noticeably after around 7:00 PM
A blend of traditional and modern retail, Han Market is the go-to spot for handicrafts, silk, and souvenirs across its roughly 600 stalls, and it's centrally located enough to fit into almost any sightseeing route. A smaller vendor-stall complex known as Han Shopping Complex opened nearby in 2017 with a similar handicraft-and-souvenir focus; its current operating status is less consistently reported than the main market, so it's best treated as a secondary stop rather than a primary destination.

Con Market

  • Address: 290 Hung Vuong Street, Hai Chau District
  • Hours: 6:00/7:00 AM – 7:00/7:30 PM daily
Often described as a food lover's paradise, Con Market is packed with regional specialties, dried goods, fish sauce, and the city's well-known beef jerky (cha bo), spread across roughly 2,000 stalls in a mix of multi-floor buildings and open-air sections.

Son Tra Night Market

  • Address: Near the intersection of Ly Nam De and Mai Hac De streets, An Hai Tay Ward, Son Tra District (at the foot of the Dragon Bridge)
  • Hours: 6:00 PM – midnight daily (some vendors extend later on weekends and during peak season)
Located steps from the Dragon Bridge, this market comes alive after dark with souvenir stalls, handicrafts, and a lively street-food scene — a good option for travelers who prefer evening shopping over daytime heat. Entry is free; expect a small parking fee for motorbikes.

Bac My An Market

  • Address: 25 Nguyen Ba Lan Street, Bac My An Ward, Ngu Hanh Son District
  • Hours: 6:00 AM – 7:00 PM daily; the food-stall section is liveliest from mid-afternoon onward
A smaller, more local market near Danang University of Economics, Bac My An gives visitors a glimpse of everyday life in the city, along with regional dishes such as avocado ice cream (kem bo) and sea snails (oc hut).

Beyond the City: Nearby Options

Travelers heading south of Danang can also find convenient shopping stops at mini go! Dien Ban and Co.opmart Tam Ky, both of which combine grocery shopping with basic entertainment facilities. As these sit outside Danang proper, confirm current hours locally before planning a special trip.

What to Buy in Da Nang

Shopping here isn't just about clothes and electronics — a lot of travelers come home with a suitcase of things you can only really find (or find this good) in Vietnam.

Vietnamese coffee. Vietnam is famous for its robusta, and packaged beans or ground coffee travel well and make an easy gift.

Dried seafood. Dried squid, shrimp, and similar products are widely available at local markets — just check airline and destination-country customs rules before buying.

Dried fruit and snacks. Dried mango, jackfruit, banana, and other Vietnamese snacks are lightweight, cheap, and popular as gifts.

Fish sauce and local sauces. A staple of Vietnamese cuisine, though liquids need a check against airline baggage rules and your home country's import restrictions.

Silk and textiles. Markets and specialty stores carry scarves, clothing, and other textile pieces.

Handicrafts. Bamboo products, small decorative items, and locally made souvenirs are an easy, lightweight alternative if you're watching your luggage space.

Tips for Shopping in Da Nang

A little local know-how goes a long way here. Whether you're chasing air conditioning, a good bargain, or just trying to figure out where to go with kids in tow, these tips should save you some guesswork.

Malls vs. markets: know which game you're playing

Malls and supermarkets run on fixed prices, so what you see on the tag is what you pay — no haggling required, which is a relief if that's not your thing. Traditional markets are the opposite: prices are often negotiable, especially for souvenirs and clothing, so it's worth peeking at a few stalls before settling on one and keeping any back-and-forth friendly rather than aggressive. Either way, mornings tend to be calmer than afternoons — locals shop early, while most tourists start filtering into the markets after 10 AM.

Plan around the weather

Danang's heat and humidity are no joke, particularly between late morning and mid-afternoon. When you need a break from the sun, an air-conditioned mall doubles as a genuinely nice place to cool off — you can shop, grab lunch, or catch a movie without the sweat. It's less about needing something to buy and more about having somewhere pleasant to be for a couple of hours.

Match the mall to where you're staying

Danang looks compact on a map, but it's more spread out in practice than first-time visitors expect. If you're based near My Khe Beach, Vincom Plaza Ngo Quyen is going to save you a lot more time than trekking across town for a supermarket. If you're closer to the airport or city center, GO! Danang, AEON MALL, or Indochina Riverside Mall are the easier options. Worth factoring in before you commit to a plan.

Choose the right shopping spot for your trip

Traveling with kids? Helio Center for entertainment and family-friendly food, or Vincom Plaza and AEON MALL if you'd rather stay closer to fashion and dining.

First time in Danang? Vincom Plaza Ngo Quyen gives you the fullest one-stop experience — brands, food, entertainment, all in one place.

After Japanese brands? AEON MALL Da Nang Thanh Khe is the clear pick, with UNIQLO, MUJI and a genuinely modern mall layout.

Need Korean products and groceries? Lotte Mart covers Korean food, imported goods, and everyday essentials in one stop.

Watching the budget? GO! Danang and Lotte Mart offer the best value for everyday essentials and souvenirs.

Want river views with your shopping? Indochina Riverside Mall pairs retail with genuinely nice Han River dining.

Chasing local souvenirs and food? Skip the mall — Han Market or Con Market will serve you better for Vietnamese specialties, snacks, and traditional products.

Looking for something upscale? Vincom Plaza is your best local option, though it's worth setting expectations — Danang isn't a major luxury shopping destination the way Ho Chi Minh City or Bangkok are.

For most visitors, the winning combination is simple: use a modern mall for convenient, fixed-price shopping, then head to a traditional market for local food, souvenirs, and a more authentic slice of Da Nang life.

Payment and paperwork

Cards and digital wallets like MoMo or ZaloPay are widely accepted at the bigger malls and supermarkets, so you don't need to carry much cash there. Traditional markets are a different story — bring Vietnamese dong, since that's what gets you the best prices and, frankly, is sometimes the only option accepted. If you're planning to claim a VAT refund at Danang International Airport, hold onto your receipts and keep your passport handy when shopping at larger stores such as Vincom Plaza or AEON MALL — refund eligibility and paperwork requirements can change, so it's worth double-checking current rules before you rely on this.

A few small things that make a real difference

Double-check hours before you go. Mall hours, cinema schedules, and even which stores or zones are open can shift — this is especially true right now for Helio Center, which is still settling into its post-renovation lineup. A quick look at the official website or social page beats showing up to a surprise.

Keep receipts for anything valuable. For branded goods, electronics, or higher-priced items, hang on to the receipt and give the packaging a once-over before you leave the store.

Bring a reusable bag, especially if you're picking up groceries or packaged local specialties.

Check baggage rules before flying home if you're planning to bring back fish sauce, fresh food, or other liquids — airline restrictions catch a lot of travelers off guard.

Time your food-court visits. Popular malls get busy fast; going before lunch or after the dinner rush usually means a quieter, more relaxed meal.

Keep some small notes on hand for markets and street-food stalls, where breaking a large bill can be a hassle for vendors.

Use Grab or a taxi for bigger shopping trips, particularly with kids or heavy bags in tow — most malls are easy to reach this way, and many are on local bus routes too.

Compare prices before buying branded items, cosmetics, or electronics — a little cross-checking between stores can save you more than you'd expect.

Most malls also have the basics covered: free or low-cost parking, ATMs, and clean restrooms, so you're rarely far from a place to regroup mid-trip.

Frequently Asked Questions About Famous Shopping Malls in Danang

Is shopping in Da Nang good for tourists?

Yes, especially if you mix it up. Modern malls are convenient for branded goods, groceries and fixed prices, while markets offer local food, souvenirs and a more traditional Vietnamese shopping experience.

Are shopping malls in Da Nang expensive?

Not necessarily. Large malls carry both international brands and affordable everyday products. For cheaper local goods, though, traditional markets and local shops usually give you more options.

What is the best shopping mall in Da Nang?

Vincom Plaza, AEON MALL Da Nang Thanh Khe, and Lotte Mart are among the most useful choices. Which one's "best" really depends on whether you want fashion, Japanese products, groceries, or family entertainment.

What is the biggest shopping mall in Danang?

AEON MALL Da Nang Thanh Khe is now the largest, following its July 2026 opening. Vincom Plaza Ngo Quyen remains one of the most complete options for retail, dining, and entertainment combined.

Is Parkson still open in Danang?

No. Parkson's Vietnam operator filed for bankruptcy in April 2023 and had exited every location outside Ho Chi Minh City by that time, including the Vinh Trung Plaza branch in Danang. Some older listings online haven't been updated to reflect this.

Where can I find Korean products in Danang?

Lotte Mart Danang and the K-Mart branches (Pham Van Dong, Bach Dang, and An Thuong 2) are the most reliable spots for imported Korean cosmetics, food, and household items.

Is it better to shop at a mall or a traditional market in Danang?

Malls offer fixed prices, air conditioning, and international brands, while traditional markets like Han Market and Con Market offer lower prices, local specialties, and a more authentic cultural experience. Many visitors do both — malls for specific items, markets for souvenirs and food. Just note that markets generally close by early evening, while malls stay open until around 10 PM.

Are Danang's malls open late?

Most major malls, including Vincom Plaza, Lotte Mart, GO! Danang, and AEON MALL, stay open until around 10 PM daily, making them convenient after-dinner options. Traditional markets keep much earlier hours, typically closing by 7–7:30 PM.

Where can I take children shopping in Danang?

Vincom Plaza Ngo Quyen (TiniWorld), Lotte Mart, GO! Danang, AEON MALL, and Helio Center all have dedicated play areas or entertainment options for children.

Which mall is best for groceries in Da Nang?

Lotte Mart, GO!, AEON MALL, and MM Mega Market are the practical choices. For larger grocery hauls, MM Mega Market is particularly useful.

Final Takeaway

Da Nang's shopping scene is more diverse than its handful of big-name malls might suggest. Modern centers like Vincom Plaza, AEON MALL Da Nang Thanh Khe, and Lotte Mart are great for branded products, groceries, and indoor entertainment, while GO! and MM Mega Market are better suited to practical, everyday shopping.

For something more local, head to Han Market, Con Market, Son Tra Night Market, or Bac My An Market — these offer what no mall really can: local food, informal shopping, and a closer look at everyday life in Da Nang.

Honestly, the best approach isn't choosing between malls and markets — it's using both. Malls for convenience and fixed-price shopping, markets for souvenirs, local food, and the cultural experience that makes Da Nang worth visiting in the first place.

_________

Opening hours at malls, markets, and independent stores in Vietnam can shift with holidays, renovations, or ownership changes, so it's worth a quick map check before a special trip — especially for the smaller specialty stores, out-of-town options, and Helio Center, which is still finding its footing after its 2025–2026 renovation.
