Hot and cold snacks make for quick appetising meals, snacks or starters in Vietnam are packed with fragrant herbs and marinades. Nha Trang offers some of those best loved from across the country.

Thin slightly translucent rice-flour sheets, called banh trang, wrap around your choice of chopped ingredients and rice-flour vermicelli, making a tasty roll. The roll can be enjoyed with accompanying lettuce leaves and fragrant leafy herbs. Try dipping into our house fish sauce.

With hot average temperatures, cooling light salads are popular across Vietnam. Chicken and seafood are frequently used, combined with finely cut vegetables, crunchy bean sprouts, tomato, cucumber and fruit, dressed with crushed peanuts, fish sauce, vinegar and lime juice.

Presenting dishes selected from across Vietnam, we bring a handful of signature recommendations that are very popular with our diners. Vietnamese Sticky Rice is a meal in itself and quite different from the Cantonese variety. Sizzling Saigon crepe is another of our lesser-known specialties.

Ideal for sharing and big on flavour, try our main courses. Oven-Roasted Chicken is a tasty East-meets-West combination. Slow-cooked Braised Pork Belly in Coconut Juice is a house favourite. For something with a little spice, our Stir-Fried Cabbage with Shrimp Sambal hits the spot.

Vietnamese pho is a national dish and an institution. Enjoyed at any time of day from breakfast to dinner, the fragrant broth base is simmered for hours to achieve layers of flavour. At Nha Trang, our base ingredients include beef bone and brisket, chicken bone, ginger and onion. A distinctive blend of spices features star anise, cinnamon, dried fruit peel, and our chefs’ secret seasonings. Noodles are added and topped with a choice of sliced or shredded meat and a pinch of bean sprouts. A squirt of lime juice and a sprinkling of chopped chives or spring onion, fresh cilantro (coriander) and thin slices of crispy deep-fried shallot and garlic complete it.

A bowl of rice vermicelli – called bun – is often enjoyed at room temperature, with a choice of cooked meat or prawn topping. Also in the serving is chopped lettuce, herbs that include aromatic mint and cilantro (coriander), bean sprouts, and grated carrot, cucumber and radish, all tossed with fish sauce.

Vietnamese drinks complete the dining experience – indigenous coffee beans and lotus tea from the highlands have memorable flavours. Or try our specialty soda mixes or Vietnamese beers.
