Nha Trang Travel: Top Restaurant Picks
1. Cơm tấm Trịnh Phong
No Air Conditioning
📍 Cơm tấm Trịnh Phong
82 Trịnh Phong, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa 650000 Vietnam
📍Address
82 Trịnh Phong, Nha Trang,
Khánh Hòa 650000 Vietnam
⏰Opening Hours
Daily 07:00 ~ 13:00
(Closes once ingredients run out)
This spot is a famous *Cơm Tấm* restaurant right in the heart of Nha Trang city.
Just a 3-minute walk from Siesta Hotel!
It's a flavor combination that everyone, not just Koreans, will adore:
Sweet marinated ribs + smoky charcoal-grilled goodness!
Even though it's a local spot, it was incredibly clean.
The tables and even the sauce bowls were spotless.
✅What We Ordered
Pork + Fried Egg 40,000 VND
Chicken Leg + Fried Egg 52,000 VND
Extra Pork Belly 40,000 VND
The portions aren't overly huge,
so two of us easily finished all three dishes we ordered.
While all three were absolutely delicious,
I personally preferred the pork over the chicken.
(Don't worry, a *Cơm Tấm* spot famous for its chicken leg is coming up next!)
Just pour on the sauce and mix it with the rice,
and you'll devour a whole bowl in no time!
The sauce has a delightful kick, so you can keep eating without getting bored.
The accompanying pickled vegetables are also
perfect to enjoy alongside, just like pickles.
2. Trọng Đồng Cơm Tấm
No Air Conditioning
📍 Trọng Đồng Cơm Tấm
100 Đ. 23 Tháng 10, Tây Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa 650000 Vietnam
📍Address
100 Đ. 23 Tháng 10, Tây Nha Trang,
Khánh Hòa 650000 Vietnam
⏰Opening Hours
09 : 30 ~ 19 : 30
This is actually the place where I first fell in love with *Cơm Tấm*!
The prices have gone up a little since I first visited 3-4 years ago,
but it's still incredibly affordable.
The inside of the restaurant is remarkably clean,
and unlike the first *Cơm Tấm* spot which is mostly open-air,
this one is indoors, so even without air conditioning,
it feels a bit cooler and more comfortable.
✅What We Ordered
Chicken Leg *Cơm Tấm* 42,000 VND
Pork *Cơm Tấm* 35,000 VND
I wholeheartedly recommend the Chicken Leg *Cơm Tấm* here!
It's incredibly tender and juicy.
Be warned, if you go too late, it often sells out!
Its location isn't right in the city center,
but it's conveniently close to Long Son Pagoda, so it's a great spot to visit if you have plans in that area.
3. Phở Hạnh Phúc
No Air Conditioning
📍 Phở Hạnh Phúc
19 Ngô Gia Tự, P, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa 650000 Vietnam
📍Address
19 Ngô Gia Tự, P, Nha Trang,
Khánh Hòa 650000 Vietnam
⏰Opening Hours
Daily 06:00 ~ 21:00
Though it's already a well-known spot among Korean travelers,
this is where you'll find truly delicious Hot Pot Pho.
✅ What We Ordered
Hot Pot Pho 75.000 dong
Served bubbling hot in a clay pot, with meat and rice noodles,
and you can add vegetables to your heart's content.
The rice noodles here are noticeably thicker and,
with a softer texture than what I'm used to back home. It felt a bit unfamiliar at first,
but the more I ate, the more I craved it!
About halfway through, try adding some pickled garlic and chili sauce,
and it completely transforms the flavor into something new and exciting!
Just a heads-up: you might need to be a bit forgiving on the hygiene front.
4. Nem Nuong Dang Van Quyen
Air conditioning available on the 2nd floor
📍 Nem Nuong Dang Van Quyen
16A Lãn Ông, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa 650000 Vietnam
📍Address
16A Lãn Ông, Nha Trang,
Khánh Hòa 650000 Vietnam
⏰Operating Hours
Daily 07:30 ~ 20:30
When my husband and I first visited Nha Trang,
this was hands down our top restaurant pick!
We're both quite forgiving when it comes to hygiene,
so our judgment was purely based on taste.
Nem Nuong is a delicious dish where you take rice paper,
savory grilled pork patties (think Korean Tteokgalbi flavor), crispy fried rice paper,
and an assortment of fresh vegetables, and wrap them all up to eat.
✅ What We Ordered
Nem Nuong (2 servings) 110.000 dong
You don't dip the rice paper in water here, you eat it dry,
which gives it a truly unique texture I'd never experienced before!
And to my taste buds, it was absolutely delicious.
The key is to generously dip everything into their special sauce.
Honestly, I think anything would taste amazing dipped in that sauce! Haha.
If you're not a fan of fragrant herbs, feel free to remove them,
but for me, eating it with them made it twice as delicious!
Team Cilantro, reporting for duty! 😂
Plus, there's air conditioning on the second floor,
so you can enjoy your meal in cool comfort.
But for the hygiene... let's just say bring your own wet wipes,
and maybe start eating the rice paper from the second sheet! 😉
5. Bun Cha Hanoi
No air conditioning
📍 Bun Cha Hanoi
9 Hùng Vương, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa 650000 Vietnam
📍Address
9 Hùng Vương, Nha Trang,
Khánh Hòa 650000 Vietnam
⏰Operating Hours
Daily 07:30 ~ 22:30
✅ What We Ordered
Bun Cha 65.000 dong
Spring Rolls 20.000 dong
During my trip to Nha Trang,
I tried Bun Cha at several places,
and this one was my personal number one!
The quality of the meat was outstanding,
and the vegetables were incredibly fresh.
The restaurant itself was also generally clean,
making it a place anyone can enjoy without a second thought.
And I highly recommend adding the spring rolls to your order.
They are incredibly crispy and absolutely delicious!! ★
First, savor the original flavor as it is,
then add garlic and chili to customize it to your preference! :)
6. Pizza 4P's
Air conditioning available
📍 Pizza 4P's Nha Trang
26, Sheraton Hotel, 28 Trần Phú, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa 57000 Vietnam
📍Address
Sheraton Hotel, 28 Trần Phú, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa 57000 Vietnam
⏰Operating Hours
Daily 11:00 AM ~ 10:30 PM
When you're starting to get a little tired of Vietnamese food,
this is a fantastic pizza spot to check out.
It tends to get busy in the evenings with a bit of a wait,
so it’s a good idea to make a reservation on Google beforehand.
The indoor area is cool thanks to the AC,
but I highly recommend grabbing an outdoor seat in the evening
as the weather is wonderfully breezy.
The atmosphere of enjoying pizza while gazing at the Nha Trang sea
is truly better than you might imagine, trust me! 😉
✅ What We Ordered
Half & Half Pizza (Burrata / Camembert Cheese)
Carbonara Pasta
I don't remember the exact price for each item,
but for those two dishes, plus one glass of wine and four beers,
it came out to be about ~$41.
The Burrata Pizza is my top recommendation –
if you love wood-fired pizza, you'll absolutely adore this one.
It's super close to Lotte Mart, so we grabbed dinner
and then even squeezed in some shopping before heading back to our accommodation.
7. Greek Kitchen
Air conditioning available
📍 Greek Kitchen
172/2 Bạch Đằng, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa 65000 Vietnam
📍 Address
172/2 Bạch Đằng, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa 65000 Vietnam
⏰ Opening Hours
Daily 09:00 AM ~ 11:00 PM
This is a great spot in Nha Trang for a light meal.
Whenever I go, I always order the Chicken Wrap.
(55,000 VND)
The bread is wonderfully fluffy yet chewy,
and personally, I found it even more to my liking than Banh Mi!
It's delicious on its own,
but if you find it a little rich,
just add some chili sauce, and you'll enjoy every last bite!
Since they're open late,
it's perfect for a late-night snack
or even to grab as a takeaway on your way to the airport.
(Many people actually do take it to go!)
The shop isn't huge,
but it has air conditioning inside,
so you can enjoy your meal comfortably.
Just a heads-up: they only accept cash payments.
Out of all the Nha Trang eateries I introduced today,
I'm sure there's at least one that caught your eye, right? 😉
Enjoy your time there!
Cơm tấm Trịnh Phong offers pork + fried egg (40,000 VND) and chicken leg + fried egg (52,000 VND). The article specifically recommends the pork Cơm tấm as being more delicious.
Trọng Đồng Cơm tấm is not located in the Nha Trang city center area but rather close to Long Sơn Pagoda. It's a good place to visit if you have plans near Long Sơn Pagoda.
Nem nướng Đặng Văn Quyên is recommended for its taste, but its hygiene is mentioned as not being very good. It is advised to bring wet wipes when visiting and to eat the rice paper from the second sheet onwards.
4P's Pizza highly recommends the Burrata Pizza. It is described as a taste that anyone who loves wood-fired pizza will enjoy.
Yes, the article states that only cash payments are accepted at Greek Kitchen. Please keep this in mind and prepare cash when you visit.
