48 Hours In Nha Trang: Things To Do

NHA TRANG | Talk to travellers about Nha Trang, and you’ll get a variety of opinions about the city. It’s a resort town, and there’s no denying that the place is very touristy. Stick to the centre of town, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by Russian and South Korean tourists, and notice plenty of touristy restaurants, shops, and other places catered to these tourists.

You don’t need to walk far to bypass the touristy part of town, however. Half an hour walk in any direction out of the centre of Nha Trang, you’ll find the parts of the city where locals live, work, and shop. There’s amazing street food, historic sites, and further afield, beautiful unspoilt islands, beaches, and nature.

Below, you’ll find a list of the best things to do in Nha Trang. If it’s a short, city trip, or a nature focused break, you’ll find what you’re looking for in Nha Trang.

Dive And Snorkel

Nha Trang is one of the most popular places for diving in Vietnam. There’s around 25 dive sites, dotted around Nha Trang’s islands. There are several diving schools and tour operators that will take you out to any number of these dive sites.

All skill levels are catered to, so whether you’re an experienced deep sea diver, or just looking for a casual snorkel, there’s something for you.

Two of the best places to dive and snorkel in Nha Trang are Hon Mun Island and Whale Island. The former is Vietnam’s only protected marine reserve, and is stunning.

Enjoy Local Cuisine

Nha Trang is filled with gems catering to hungry locals, and those who seek these spots out will be rewarded with a diverse selection of delicious Vietnamese delicacies.

From Vietnamese favourites like pho and banh mi, to regional delights like bún sứa (jellyfish noodle soup), and nem nướng (grilled pork sausage), there’s no shortage of great stuff to eat in this city.

Check out my Nha Trang Food Guide, which is full of tips on what and where you should be eating in the city.

Go Island Hopping

Anywhere you look from Nha Trang’s coastline, you’ll notice islands in the distance. Nha Tang is situated on Ninh Van bay, which is home to 19 islands, and there are countless half day and full day activities that you can do where you’ll visit several of these islands.

Whether it’s fishing, snorkelling, partying, golfing, or anything else that you can think of, there’s probably a tour available for you. If you want to organise your own adventure, Hon Tre Island, Hon Mieu Island, and Hon Tam Island are just a short ferry ride away from the city centre.

Relax On A Beach

Leading on from the above, you’ll probably want to dedicate some of your time in Nha Trang to relaxing on a beach. While the main stretch of coastline in the heart of the city isn’t particularly special, the stunning coastline just outside of the city, and on Nha Trang’s surrounding islands, certainly is.

If you don’t want to travel too far out of town, visit Bai Duong Beach. It’s about an hour walk or 10 minute drive north of downtown Nha Trang and, while popular, much more beautiful and less crowded than the main beach. As a bonus, it’s located right next to the picturesque, Hong Chong Promontory, where the mountains meet the sea.

Visit A Temple

There are several places of worship that are worth a visit in Nha Trang. Po Nagar Cham Towers are four Cham towers built between the 7th and 12th centuries. Located atop a small hill, they are still active Buddhist temples to this day, and open to the public.

Also be sure to visit Long Son Pagoda. Originally built in 1886, the temple was destroyed by a cyclone and relocated to its current location in 1900. At the top of the temple, you’ll find a giant white Buddha, and panoramic views of the city and ocean.

For a Christian place of worship, visit Christ the King/Nha Trang Cathedral. Built in the Gothic Revival style in 1928, it’s the largest church in Nha Trang. It’s notable for its stained glass windows, which depict saints.

Unwind With A Mud Bath

Having a mud bath is one of the most popular things to do while in Nha Trang, and for good reason. Immerse yourself in a warm bath, filled with warm mud containing area’s mineral-rich clay, then take a herbal bath before washing off under cool waterfalls. Afterwards, take a dip in a mineral pool, and perhaps go for a massage.

One of the best and most popular places to have a mud bath, which I highly recommend, is at I-Resort.

Walk Through A Market

Nha Trang’s central market, Chợ Đầm, is a must visit. There’s three stories and a vendor-lined exterior of fresh produce and all of the other bits and bobs that you typically find at markets. It’s located just near the city’s main train station, inside a striking round structure that dates back to the 1980s (the market itself dates back to the 1960s). The structure is meant to evoke the undulating waves of the ocean.

Another market that’s worth visiting is the Xom Moi Market. It’s a covered, open market that’s filled with vendors selling fresh regional produce and delicacies, seafood, clothing, and more.

Kyiv Social, Chippendale

SYDNEY | Kyiv Social is a Ukrainian restaurant by Plate It Forward, a social enterprise headed by Shaun Christie-David, that employs, trains, and supports refugees and people from marginalised background. Expanding on the amazing work done at Colombo Social, Kabul Social, Kyiv Social sees newly arrived Ukrainian refugees cooking and serving up the food of their homeland.

Housed in a beautiful heritage building from 1930, that was once home to the English, Scottish and Australasian Bank, Kyiv Social has a special energy about it, adorned with Ukrainian livery, chandeliers, and high ceilings. The sound of Ukrainian and English fills the air. It’s a place of hope, resilience, and delicious food.

There’s the option of a set menu and a la carte. I opted for the set menu, which gives you a good selection of dishes on offer. As a bonus, for every set menu ordered, Plate It Forward donates two meals – one to someone in need in Sydney, and one to someone in Ukraine.

The menu is filled with recipes from the staff’s babusyas (grandmothers), and a great introduction to the food of Ukraine. Punchy seasonal pickles kick things off, followed by the wonderfully soft and fluffy garlic butter pampushky (pull-apart bread rolls). Hand made varenyky (dumplings), filled with potato, dill, and fried onions, and topped with Pepe Saya sour cream, also impress.

For mains, a non-traditional take on the chicken Kyiv is simple and outstanding. Thick sliced, golden-fried chicken schnitzel, doused with Pepe Saya garlic butter, and pickle slaw on the side. For vegetarians, an eggplant version also impresses. With sides of garlic butter mash and house lettuce, fennel, and apple salad, this is all food that’s comforting in the best possible way.

To finish, depending on the day, you’ll enjoy either sour cherry dumplings served with sweet cultured cream and cherry sauce, or traditional honey cake. Other dishes include things like herring on rye, borscht, and twice cooked pork knuckle.

The drinks menu features keenly priced bottles and glasses of local wines, along with Ukrainian inspired cocktails, and beers. Beloved Ukrainian Lager is a Ukrainian-style lager brewed by Young Henry’s, while vodka cocktails feature Blue Krane vodka from Little Marionette, made using traditional Ukrainian methods.

Talking to the staff at Kyiv Social, it’s clear that they’re passionate about what they’re doing, and are thankful for the opportunity to make a difference. Everybody at Kyiv Social has a story, and eating here is a joy.

Nha Trang Food Guide: Where To Eat

NHA TRANG | To most visitors, Nha Trang is a resort town. It’s a place to visit for sandy beaches, scuba diving, snorkelling, and island hopping. It’s not a place that pops up on foodie itineraries, with many deterred by the tourist-focused food spots that dominate the centre of town.

Like any city though, Nha Trang is filled with gems catering to hungry locals, and those who seek these spots out will be rewarded with a diverse selection of delicious Vietnamese delicacies.

Being a coastal city, Nha Trang excels in seafood. There are several markets in the city where fishermen sell their local bounty, which provide fresh produce for many of the best food spots in Nha Trang.

In this Nha Trang Food Guide, updated as at April 2005, I’ll tell you the places to visit if you want to experience the best food and drink in Nha Trang.

I’ve placed the tips in alphabetical order, and they’re all worth checking out. Are any of your favourites listed below? Are there any places that you think should be on my Nha Trang food guide?

Bánh Căn – Bánh Xèo – Bánh Canh Tôm Hùm 7C Tô Hiến Thành

Bánh căn are the lesser known cousin (in the West) of Vietnam’s bánh xèo, and something that you have to try when you visit Vietnam. In Nha Trang, you can find great versions of both dishes at the rather lengthily named, Bánh căn – bánh xèo – Bánh canh tôm hùm 7C Tô Hiến Thành.

Bánh căn are little party pie sized pancake-like cakes made from rice flour, water, and turmeric. They’re cooked in a special cast-iron pan or traditional clay pan with round moulds and only a little oil. Common toppings include things like shrimp, pork, and eggs.

Bún Cá Sứa Năm Beo

As you’d expect given its location on Vietnam’s southern coast, Nha Trang is known for is seafood. One regional delicacy that you have to try when you visit, is bún sứa, or jellyfish noodle soup.

A light, semi-sweet, boiled fish-based broth, is served in a bowl with vermicelli noodles, sliced jellyfish, and fried fish paste. To the side, you’ll find raw vegetables, herbs, wedges of lime, and chili, allowing you to customise your bowl to your tastes.

The jellyfish is cleaned and washed, then soaked in an a acidic guava-based solution for a few hours before being cleaned again, and sliced. The result is a relatively flavourless, addition on its own, that takes on the flavour of the broth. Each bite adds a nice cucumber-like crunch to the bún sứa. It’s a healthy option too. Jellyfish is high in protein, collagen, essential amino acids, and antioxidants, and low in fat and carbohydrates.

At Bún Cá Sứa Năm Beo, I recommend ordering the signature bún cá sứa, which features the classic soup, with the addition of chunks of fresh fish.

Cơm Gà Giòn Da A Tài

If you’re in Nha Trang and craving fried chicken, it doesn’t get much better than the Vietnamese-style chicken rice at Cơm Gà Giòn Da A Tài.

Succulent, marinated, crispy fried chicken is the star of the dish. You can choose between a quarter, half, or full chicken, fried until golden brown. Quality, local breed free range chicken (gà ta) is used. Served with the chicken, you get delicious chicken fat cooked turmeric rice, chicken soup, salad, and sauces.

Đen Cá Nướng

At Nha Trang’s Đen Cá Nướn, there’s no English menu, and no English spoken. What you will encounter is friendly staff, and some of the best seafood in town, sourced from local fishermen and the nearby fresh produce market.

Đen Cá Nướng is the kind of place where you’ll want to over order. Sea snails are served with a wonderful peppery sauce; sweet, crunchy, wok-fried little prawns are served with a fiery hot sauce; while garlicy thin egg noodles with steamed squid, prawns, and greens are irresistible.

That’s more than a meal on its own, but you also have to order the whole fish (you get to choose from the fridge) wrapped in banana leaf and grilled over charcoal. It comes with an assortment of sides and sauces, and rice paper rolls so you can DIY spring rolls.

Little Armenia

Nha Trang is popular with Russian tourists, and there are many restaurants in the city catering to that crowd. If you’re looking for something different to Vietnamese food for one of you meals, I highly recommend Small Armenia. In the kitchen, you’ll find an Armenian chef cooking an assortment of Armenian and Georgian dishes.

It’s things like dolma, khachapuri, and khinkali, meat dishes like khorovats (Armenian barbeque), and delicious grilled vegetable dishes. Servings are generous, so come with a group and order a few things to share if you can.

Nem Nướng Đặng Văn Quyên

Nem nướng, Vietnam’s famed grilled pork sausage, originated in the town of Ninh Hoa, 30km north of Nha Trang. It’s a local delicacy that’s popular throughout Vietnam these days, and one of the best places to enjoy it in Nha Trang is at Nem Nướng Đặng Văn Quyên.

One look around the restaurant, and you’ll see that everyone’s ordering the same thing. Platters of nem nướng, served with long, fried “crackers”, fresh herbs, carrots, cucumber, and a spicy dipping sauce. Wet the provided rice paper rolls, layer each one with a bit of everything, and roll them into spring rolls and you’re in for a treat.

Also be sure to order some of the banana leaf-wrapped sausages, chả lụa and fermented pork sausages, nem chua.

Nijuusan, Carlton

Nijuusan, Carlton

MELBOURNE | A new Japanese cafe has popped up around the corner from the University of Melbourne in Carlton. It’s called Nijuusan, and I recently went in to grab some shots for What’s on Melbourne.

The owners hail from Japan and opened Nijuusan with the aim of offering Melburnians a taste of some of the things that they miss most from the cafes back home. The casual space is filled with Japanese artwork, photos, and pop culture references, eschewing the sleek architecture and interior design focused aesthetic of similar Melbourne spots, for something a more “real”.

The star of the menu is the water based Japanese shaved ice dessert, kakigori. A pile of finely shaved ice is filled with different ingredients, and topped with assorted toppings. It’s a light, and refreshing treat, that’s become popular in Melbourne over the past year, but still isn’t super common, especially compared to its milk-based Korean cousin, bingsu.

Flavours include things like black sesame, tiramisu, and chinpi azuki matcha. The latter sees whisked to order matcha, combined with sun-dried mandarin peel, and red beans. It’s a unique flavour for those looking for something that’s purposefully bitter and not particularly sweet. My favourite is the black sesame, with red dates and black sesame ice-cream.

You’ll also find a Japanese take on the Basque cheesecake, Basuku cheesecake, with your choice of an original, matcha, or black sesame molten filling. You can also get an assortment of milk-based alternative lattes, tea-based drinks, and smoothies. An imported Japanese vending machine at the front offers an assortment of canned Japanese drinks. Just like in Japan, part of the vending machine will hold hot drinks when the weather cools down.

Currently, the menu is all about desserts, but you can expect to find a selection of savoury noodle dishes, and things like oden as Nijuusan settles into its groove, and winter approaches.

Geprek, Melbourne CBD

Geprek, Melbourne CBD

MELBOURNE | There’s a new spot in Chinatown, specialising in Indonesian-style smashed sambal fried chicken, ayam geprek. It’s called Geprek, and I recently popped in and met up with owners Anthony Sandoval and Vivian Veronica, for What’s on Melbourne.

Anthony and Vivian, who hail from Indonesia, started Geprek as a pop-up in Sydney’s Burwood Chinatown Night Markets in 2022, before opening a bricks and mortar store in Sydney’s Chinatown in 2023. It’s been a huge success, and the couple didn’t want Melburnians to miss out on the fun.

Fried chicken might evoke simplicity in your mind, but the dishes at Geprek are anything but basic. Chicken is marinated in a garlic and chilli-based marinade before being deep-fried to order and smashed with a pestle and mortar. Compared to ayam penyet, which smashes Javanese-style fried chicken, ayam geprek smashes American-style fried chicken. The chicken is served on rice, with your choice of sambal, and optional sides.

It’s the sambal that really elevates each plate at Geprek. Anthony and Vivian are passionate about showcasing the breadth of variety in Indonesia’s regional sambals, and offer five of them. They range from the fragrant, spicy, chilli, lemongrass, ginger, and lime juice based Balinese sambal matah, through to popular medium-heat sambal terasi (what most Aussies think of when they think of sambal), and fiery Javanese sambal bawang. The latter features a lot more chilli, garlic, shallots, shrimp paste, and lemon juice.

My personal favourite is the Sumatran sambal ijo. It uses green chilli, stir-fried with dried shrimp, red shallots, garlic, and assorted spices. The result is a medium heat sambal that balances the heat and freshness in a way that goes well with the ayam geprek.

If you don’t want spice, you can choose from toppings like chicken rendang, salted egg sauce, and satay sauce.

Toppings include things like fried egg, mozzarella, and extra sauce, and there’s also the option of swapping out white rice for coconut rice or Indomie noodles. You can also choose from a few sides like satay chicken skewers.

To drink, it’s a small selection of sodas and Indonesian drinks like Teh Kotak.

Pecks Road, Melbourne CBD

MELBOURNE | Chef and personal trainer Albin Lawang, and his brothers, Arbi, and AJ, started Pecks Road as a side hustle during COVID lockdowns in 2021. It didn’t take long for their light and fluffy artisan doughnuts, which take three days to make, from fermenting to baking, to become a hit. You can read all about that original venture here.

A bricks and mortar location opened in Caroline Springs in 2023, followed by a second physical location, in the CBD. The new space opened just a few weeks ago, and I went in for What’s On Melbourne to check it out.

The CBD store is located down a laneway that’s now home to three Filipino businesses. It features an expanded menu, including not just doughnuts and pastries, but sandwiches, coffee, and other drinks. Like the doughnuts, there’s a focus on creations and flavours inspired by the Lawang brothers’ Filipino heritage, and other Asian flavours. You’ll also find a few classic favourites on offer.

Core range and rotating seasonal doughnut flavours include things like the popular ube cake doughnut, which is now better than ever, with house-made ube halaya replacing the ube cream filling; crunchy Granny smith apple fritter with vanilla bean glaze, and Vietnamese coffee crueller with dulce de leche glaze.

There’s savoury pastries too, like the puff pastry cheese twist, filled with XO chilli jam, mozzarella, spring onion, and sesame seeds, topped with crustacean oil, honey lime fish sauce glaze, and whipped chive cream cheese.

If it’s a sandwich that you’re after, the longanisa banh mi, is a must try. It’s a wonderful Filipino-Vietnamese hybrid of airy banh mi filled with pâté, egg butter, pickled carrots, slow-cooked Filipino BBQ pork with sweet marinade, hoisin sauce, honey lime fish sauce, pork crackling and pork floss. The Reuben, served with a side of sinigang-powdered crisps, is also top tier.

To drink, it’s excellent coffee, tea, and alt lattes like ube coconut cloud, matcha coconut cloud, and Vietnamese iced coffee with coconut cream.

Dong Dae Moon, Melbourne CBD

MELBOURNE | Dong Dae Moon opened in Melbourne’s Korea Town earlier this year, adding another option to the burgeoning area for fans of Korean food. I paid them a visit to grab some photos for What’s on Melbourne.

Named for the vibrant and historic Seoul neighbourhood, Dongdaemun, Dong Dae Moon is a simply decorated space, with large floor to ceiling windows that open up the space to airy laneway dining on Brights Place. Open from lunch until 10pm each night, you’ll find an assortment of Korean favourites on the menu, at wallet-friendly prices.

The most popular item during lunch is the gimbap. There’s eight options of the seaweed rice roll on the menu, including bulgogi, tofu, and the popular house ham and seafood special. Gimbap is made fresh on site each day, rolled by hand and cut using special machinery.

Other menu options include things like spicy pork belly with vegetables and rice, kimchi bokkeumbap, and kimchi pancakes. The fried chicken, which comes with a variety of flavours and sauces, is great. If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll also find a few different bingsu options on offer.

Dong Dae Moon isn’t licensed, but if you’re thirsty there’s a selection of Korean sodas, juices, and other drinks on offer.

Hoppy Dumpling, Melbourne CBD

MELBOURNE | Known as Lucky Dumpling until early this year, Hoppy Dumpling has had a refresh. One known exclusively for the dumplings, you’ll now find an expanded menu, in a brighter, fresher looking space. I popped in recently for What’s on Melbourne to grab some shots of the new offering.

Dumplings remain the main focus at Hoppy Dumpling, as you’d expect from a place with the word in its name. There’s different varieties of boiled dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, and wontons on offer, with fillings like prawn and Kurobuta pork; prawn, garlic chive, and egg; and chicken and mushroom. The crispy pan-fried pot stickers are particularly good.

Beyond dumplings, there’s an extensive selection of appetisers, along with noodle and soup dishes. The soy milk dan dan noodles are particularly good, with a punchy and creamy soy milk chilli oil broth and springy noodles. For starters, try the sliced sesame chill chicken, and chilled wood ear mushroom salad.

To drink, there’s soda, premium loose leaf tees, and lattes like creamy butterfly pea with coconut water and creamy milk foam. There’s also a decent alcoholic drinks list, featuring a surprisingly good selection of local craft beers from the likes of Rocky Ridge, Hop Nation, and Moon Dog.

Castlerose, South Melbourne

Castlerose, South Melbourne

MELBOURNE | We all know that I don’t get southside often enough. When I do, it’s usually a matter of convenience, or for somewhere that holds particular appeal. Castlerose, a wine bar that’s been on my list since it opened early last year, ticked both boxes a few weeks ago, when I was looking for a post-comedy festival drink and feed.

Housed in the basement of a new office building down a South Melbourne side street, Castlerose (along with upstairs cafe, Clementine), is run by a team of hospo veterans, including co-owner Glen Bagnara. They’ve created a dimly lit, intimate space, evocative of the supper clubs you might find in continental Europe. “Hidden gem” might well be an over-used term, but in this case, it’s apt.

The menu is inspired by 20th century English dining, and is designed for guests to be able to put together a full menu, or to grab a snack or two to go with their drink. It’s a high quality selection of pickles, olives, and charcuterie at the top, moving on to snacks, and larger plates. The menu is quite compact, and if you had a group of six and a big appetite, you could conceivably try it all.

Snacks include things like crispy confit duck cigars with orange zest, olive dust, and aioli; a sublime éclair filled with duck liver parfait and cranberry jam; and assorted cheeses, presented tableside to choose from on a vintage cheese cart.

Larger dishes include things like mac and cheese with parmesan crumble and optional lobster; steak tartare with egg yolk and potato crisps; and a fall off the bone tender 48 hour slow braised beef short rib marinated in Asian spices with mushroom sauce and mash potato. Special mention goes to the medium cut chips, fluffy, crispy, and some of the best chips you’ll find in town.

To drink, there’s house and classic cocktails, and an extensive selection of quality wine, spirits, and local beers. Try the house sour, Spitfire. It’s a blend of cognac, crème de peach, lemon, vanilla, egg white, white wine, and demerara, served over ice.

Shusai Mijo, Fitzroy

Shusai Mijo, Fitzroy

MELBOURNE | Behind an easy to miss door on Johnston Street, you’ll find one of Melbourne’s top omakase experiences, Shusai Mijo. I was recently invited in by head chef Takuro Abe to pop in for a visit and experience what he and the team are doing.

Shusai Mijo is a small, intimate space, centred around an eight seat chef’s counter. Tue-Thu, it’s a seafood-focused sushi omakase that’s offered, for $180pp. On Friday and Saturday, it’s a kappo-style menu for $275pp. The kappo-style menu casts a wider net, featuring both sushi, and a variety of luxurious traditional dishes.

I visited on a Thursday, and was treated to an exceptional selection of sushi. Both menus feature premium ingredients sourced from Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, and are heavily seasonal. The menu can change daily depending on what’s best at the time. Everything is prepared in front of you, with Takuro and the team expertly explaining each dish and ingredient for you.

The night that I visited, the meal began with snow crab mozuku, tuna tartare, gyoku castella, and black cod yu-an. A delicate and delightful selection that increased anticipation for what was to come, with its skilful balance of flavour and texture. Sashimi of bass grouper from New Zealand, and hamachi from Japan, comes next, followed by some of the best sushi in town.

New Zealand Ora king salmon topped with French caviar is a salty bite of luxury, while thinly sliced A5 Yamagata wagyu with yuzu-ginger sauce glides down the throat. All of the other sushi impressed as did the chawan-mushi, and agemno of lobster tempura with uni sauce. If you want to go even more luxurious, there’s seasonal upgrades. In this case, a selection of Tasmanian and Hokkaido uni sushi.

To drink, there’s sake, wine, and cocktails, Japanese beer, and non-alc options. You can choose from a wine or (coming soon) sake pairing, or order by the glass. The sake menu is particularly impressive, featuring rare and interesting drops from Japan. Have a chat with the sommelier, and they’ll find exactly the right drink for you.
