TL;DR

In Nha Trang, try local staples like phở, bánh mì, and smoothie stands, plus bigger spots like the Greek restaurant Mix Greek (note: closed on Wednesdays). Many hotel breakfasts are so filling that dinner can wait until late.

What the community said

Before heading to Bai Dai beach, a quick stop for bánh mì and a smoothie to-go is a popular combo for a beach day.

Even a regular office canteen can surprise you — one traveler found decent phở bò there, though without the smoothie or sea view you'd get at a beachside café.

Hotel breakfasts in Nha Trang are often so generous that many travelers skip a proper dinner or push it very late in the evening.

Be cautious with unfamiliar street food or new restaurants — stomach upset after trying local dishes isn't uncommon, especially in the first days.

Mix Greek restaurant has a somewhat worn, basic interior, but the food is decent — worth visiting for the cuisine rather than the ambiance.

Important: Mix Greek restaurant is closed on Wednesdays — several travelers showed up and found this out the hard way.
