TL;DR
Prices vary a lot by venue: a bowl of pho can run from roughly 40,000 to 80,000+ VND, and seafood like lobster can range from tens to hundreds of dollars depending on the restaurant. A budget of around $650 for 10 days covering food and entertainment is usually enough for one person.

In some spots in Nha Trang, pho starts at around 80,000 VND — roughly double the typical price elsewhere in the city, so it's worth checking prices at a few different places before ordering.

Seafood prices, including lobster, vary drastically by venue: one traveler paid around $35 for lobster at a cheap diner, while another paid up to $300 at an upscale restaurant abroad — so in Nha Trang it's also worth confirming seafood prices before ordering.
