Not Bad

Competitively priced meals and soups, but once we located the large institution near the market, we didn't return.

Pros: good food, competitive prices, no 'white tax'

Cons: owner seems quite unhappy

Very average

Don't rate this place personally. A basic rate plate may only be 20,000 (or possibly a little more depending on who serves you) but even so, I wasnt particularly impressed.

On my second visit, I tried to request some tea, but after the woman picked up a glass that had just been left by a customer to refill, I declined. At least they could pretend to wash the glasses!

There aren't enough of these places in Nha Trang for my liking, but even so, I would recommend the others above this one.

Pros: Inexpensive

Cons: Uninteresting food

Simple and tasty

Tasty food at good prices. Staff doesn't speak english, but menu has english and you can just point at it.

The rice with portion dish will require you to choose some items from the buffet - just point at stuff and they will hook you up. On the menu it says 40k for this dish, but they may just charge you 20k instead. The buffet items are not always hot; if you are needing something hot go for one of the noodle soups.

Pros: Excellent Value, Tasty Food

Cons: No Air Conditioning, Food not always hot

great variety! yummy!

Easy to find, really nice people. I had the rice with portion which was amazing! The portions are so big I had to get half to go. Definitely recommend if you want something different.

Pros: cheap, yummy

Cheap, fast and consistent

Came here 5 times, ordered the "rice with miscellaneous" for 20 000VND and every time consistently got a good mix of vegetables, mock meats, spring roll served with rice and a small soup. Fresh limes, chillis and homemade chilli sauce on all the tables and free cold green tea. Really fast and delicious. Its always luke warm but for the price and quality I can't complain.

Good but nothing special

I had the rice with portion, which means a little bit of everything, for 40.000 D. It was ok but nothing special and unfortunately it was cold.

We liked it!

ok, don't expect a cosy restaurant, it is not much more than street food. But the food was delicious and it looked very clean.
Dishes in Dec 15 were 20 - 25.000 Dong.
No english spoken, but we had the reception of the hotel writing in Vietnamese that we would like a mix of their specialities...made them laugh and we got a wonderful plate!

great place

Uses less MSG and sugar than some of the other Chay places in Nha Trang. Most dishes are 15000 vnd in December 2014.
Also the mock meats felt more mock, and homemade than meat.

Pros: nice spicy food, cheap

Cons: not so friendly staff, no free ice tea served

Not worth the visit

This restaurant is virtually a street stall with a few dishes served with rice (about 2 dishes). Not worth the taxi fare.

Cons: Street stall, Limited choice

Clean little place with ok cheap food

After reading the two bad reviews we were not expecting much of this place. But it was fine. We had rice with veg and a fake meat which was average but palatable. The selection is quite limited but I loved the filled steamed buns/dumplings which were delicious. It is a cheap meal, nothing special but ok. We found the place to be spotlessly clean.
Meals are about 10,000

Pros: Cheap, Quick, Steamed buns

Cons: food is nothing special, limited choice

have to agree

I found this joint pretty dirty for Vietnam, just no one had swept for a while I think, but its not like you'd contract hep C from a dirty floor. the food was as noted above, cold greasy mock meats, some good tastes, some that tasted like chunks of soy protein had been left on the floor of the fish market. friendly service though and pretty cheap- 10.000VND

Pros: cheap, friendly

Cons: dirty, unhealthy
