Why gỏi cuốn—and why the name “Roly Poly”?
We love the balance and portability of gỏi cuốn—fresh herbs, vegetables, noodles and protein in one tidy roll. “Roly Poly” is a playful nod to the rolling technique and to keeping things simple and fun.
About Roly Poly Da Nang — Our Story & Values
A small, independent Vietnamese restaurant & café in An Thuong — steps from My Khe Beach
We opened Roly Poly to make fresh, feel-good food you can enjoy at the coffee shop or on the beach. Our rolls are hand-rolled to order with local herbs and seasonal produce, and our drinks menu reflects what we love: Vietnamese phin coffee, fresh juices and matcha lattes. It’s a relaxed, laptop-friendly space with Wi-Fi and friendly faces.
Our Story
Roly Poly Fresh Spring Rolls & Coffee Da Nang is a neighborhood spot built around a simple idea: great ingredients, prepared with care.
We fell in love with Vietnamese street-food traditions—especially gỏi cuốn—for their balance, freshness and portability. We started small in An Thuong, close to the sea, and kept things personal: rolls made to order, polite service, and a space that invites you to slow down and stay awhile.
Every roll begins with crisp herbs and greens, rice vermicelli and our house touches— then we add your preferred filling and roll everything in soft rice paper. On the drinks side, we brew phin coffee in the Vietnamese style and whisk ceremonial-grade matcha sourced directly from Japan.
- Made-to-order: We hand-roll so everything tastes bright and fresh.
- Thoughtful sourcing: We buy herbs and vegetables locally whenever possible.
- Clear, kind hospitality: Friendly staff, Wi-Fi, and a calm place to recharge.
“Roly Poly is a great example of simple done right. Thoughtfully made, honest food with a cozy, local charm — no gimmicks, just really solid food that speaks for itself.”
Whether you’re dropping in after a swim, meeting friends, or grabbing something to go, we’re here to make choosing lunch simple—and delicious.
