TL;DR
For everyday shopping in Da Nang, travelers point to GO!/Lotte Mart and the newly reopened Aeon Mall; WinMart is much smaller, while MM Mega Market is farther out. For a more local experience, try the Cho Dam night market or the market near GO!, which gets busy around 5 pm.
If you plan to shop at small local Vietnamese stores, note that some can be surprisingly expensive; shoppers reported that a late-night visit did not feel budget-friendly.
For a more convenient shopping trip, people recommended the Cho Dam night market or Aeon Mall, which had just reopened after renovation. Aeon Mall was running discounts through the end of the month, making it a good indoor shopping option.
Among chain stores, WinMart was described as much smaller in selection. Lotte Mart and GO! were seen as more convenient to reach, while MM Mega Market is farther away and better for a dedicated shopping run.
There is also a local market near GO!, said to look somewhat like the Cho Dam market in Nha Trang from the outside. Even without checking it in detail, shoppers noticed that locals start heading there in large numbers around 5 pm, so that is a practical time to visit.
