Hello, I'm Lisa, your travel blogger!
If you're traveling to Nha Trang, Vietnam,
exploring the best value-for-money, authentic restaurants
in the city center is an absolute must..!!
In today's post,
I've carefully selected 5 places
from a list of Nha Trang restaurants I've personally visited.
✔️ Nha Trang Banh Mi Must-Try
✔️ Recommended Local Fish Cake Pho
✔️ Nha Trang All-You-Can-Eat Seafood Buffet
✔️ Nha Trang Lobster & Korean Food Must-Try
✔️ Restaurants with Great Night Views & Scenery
Let's break them down!
1. Banh Mi Phan: Your Nha Trang Banh Mi Must-Try
Bánh Mì Phan
📍 Location 164 Bạch Đằng, Tân Tiến, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa 650000 Vietnam
⏰ Business Hours 07:00 - 21:30
☑️ Closed Open all year round
The first restaurant I recommend as a Nha Trang must-try
is none other than
Banh Mi Phan!

If you've come to Nha Trang, Vietnam,
trying banh mi, the local delicacy, is an absolute must!
Among them, Banh Mi Phan is a famous spot
not only among locals but also tourists,
making it a highly recommended Nha Trang restaurant.
Banh mi sandwiches are incredibly popular locally
in Vietnam, so much so that Subway even came in,
failed, and left.

Especially popular with Korean tourists,
Banh Mi Phan offers not only authentic local styles packed with spices
but also popular options like cheese banh mi and beef banh mi
that appeal to everyone.
Because it's such a popular spot,
if you visit early, you can enjoy your meal without waiting.
However, banh mi inherently has a quick turnover rate,
so even if there's a line, it moves quickly.

I visited around 8 AM and was able to enjoy my meal comfortably
because, despite being small, there were indoor air-conditioned seats available.
The rice baguette is wonderfully chewy, which is a signature characteristic!

Banh Mi Phan!
This was the first Nha Trang city center must-try restaurant
that everyone, young and old, can enjoy without any strong preferences.
Banh Mi Phan Recommended Menu | |
Egg & Mozzarella Cheese | 40,000동 |
King Prawn & Cheese | 65,000동 |
Vietnamese-style Pork Fish Cake & Spicy Chili | 25,000동 |

💡TIP. SKT membership discounts are available~!
2. Bun Ca Hai Ca: Nha Trang City Center Must-Try for Squid Pho
Bún Cá Hai Cá
📍 Location 156 Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai, Phước Hoà, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa 650000 Vietnam
⏰ Business Hours 06:00 - 21:30
☑️ Closed Open all year round

An essential food for any trip to Vietnam!
None other than pho.
During this trip to Vietnam,
I visited Bun Ca Hai Ca, famous as a local Nha Trang must-try restaurant.
This is such a unique local restaurant that even an acquaintance in Korea
said they would come to Nha Trang just to eat here.

The homemade squid fish cakes are especially delicious!
A bowl of pho is only around ~$2,
making it truly affordable.
Bun Ca Hai Ca is also famous as a Nha Trang city center must-try restaurant,
offering great accessibility!

It's a small and warm place inside,
but definitely a unique local restaurant
worth visiting.
Banh Mi Pan Recommended Menu | |
Squid Fish Cake Rice Noodles | 60,000동 |
Squid Fish Cake | 50,000동 |
3. Ngon Gallery: All-You-Can-Eat Lobster & Seafood Buffet

and sashimi assortment, prepared fresh right before your eyes!
Ngon Gallery's seafood buffet is a popular dinner spot in Nha Trang,

4. K.HOUSE Restaurant: Nha Trang's Korean Restaurant with Amazing Lobster
K.HOUSE Restaurant
📍 Location 86 Trần Phú, Lộc Thọ, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa 650000 베트남
⏰ Operating Hours 11:00 - 02:00
☑️ Closed Open daily

If you're looking for a great lobster restaurant in Nha Trang city,
K.HOUSE is highly recommended.
What's more, it also doubles as a Korean restaurant,
making it the perfect spot to visit when you're craving a change from Vietnamese food.

With the beach right in front, and staying open late as a Nha Trang bar,
it's perfectly fine to visit even late at night!
You can enjoy the romance of the night sea.
What's special about this place is that it specializes in genuine lobster,
not the cheaper crayfish often found in Vietnam!

Beyond that, you can also enjoy juicy steaks
and a variety of other seafood, which is why it scored so high
on our list of Nha Trang's best restaurants.
K.HOUSE Recommended Menu | |
Lobster | 2,200,000동 |

5. Skylight: Nha Trang's Best Night View Spot
Skylight
📍 Location: 38 Trần Phú, Phường, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa 650000 Vietnam
⏰ Operating Hours: 5:00 PM - 12:45 AM
☑️ Closed: Every Monday
✅ Every Wednesday: Girls' Night - Free admission for women
Truth be told, this isn't exactly a 'restaurant' in Nha Trang in the traditional sense,
but it's absolutely a 'must-visit' spot for incredible night views.

Kids can enter before 9 PM,
making it the perfect spot to take in the Nha Trang city night view.

The entrance can get quite lively, feeling a bit like a bar,
but venture further in and you'll find
terrace seating perfect for groups,
and a rooftop area ideal for quieter conversations.
You can choose your seating based on your preference.

Right next to the rooftop seating,
you'll find Skylight's photo zone with a transparent floor!
If you're with kids, definitely don't miss snapping some pictures here!
