Best seafood restaurants in Nha Trang with good value for money

Poseidon offers a seafood buffet. Dishes are taken quickly and replenished often, which generally keeps the selection fresh.

Past Amiana Hotel, where the line of hotels ends along the shore, there is a public beach with Vietnamese food stalls. They sell grilled shrimp, coconuts, smoothies, and fruit by weight.

Near the start of the beach there are many Vietnamese cafes serving seafood and beer. Sunbeds at these cafes are free — just order from them and you can lounge as long as you like.

Two neighboring cafes — run by Ten and Katya — both offer fresh seafood at honest prices. The decor is basic, but quality is consistently maintained. Scallops with cheese and onion are a must-try dish.

Buying fresh fish at the market and cooking it yourself in an apartment is a popular budget option in Nha Trang. Some tourists even boil lobsters in their hotel rooms.

Sturgeon and eel are available in Nha Trang but tend to be pricier options aimed at Russian-speaking tourists. Local Vietnamese rarely eat at such places due to the cost.
