At sushi spots in Nha Trang, salmon nigiri is the safe bet — other options like shrimp and crab can smell muddy and disappoint. Meat options are very limited. Ice cream cones are a hit with kids.

Many travellers in Nha Trang skip lunch entirely — leftover shrimp and oysters from dinner, washed down with a beer, keep you full. Seafood portions are generous.
