Top 10 Irresistible Late-Night Eats in Nha Trang

The final late-night dish Mytour wants to introduce to you is Wonton Noodles. A full bowl isn’t large, but it’s enough to satisfy your hunger. The vendors here are meticulous in preparing the broth, which allows you to savor the sweet, savory flavor alongside the tender char siu and aromatic, juicy dumplings. Many of the shops selling wonton noodles also offer a delicious dry noodle dish that's equally mouthwatering. Enjoying the tender char siu, flavorful dumplings, and a spoonful of rich, clear broth is simply wonderful, don’t you think?

On cold and rainy days in Nha Trang, when you're hungry but feeling too lazy to go to a full restaurant, don’t worry because Bao Buns are here to the rescue.

If you’re hungry, head to the famous bao bun shop located at the intersection of Nguyễn Trãi and Nguyễn Hữu Huân Street in Nha Trang.

They offer a variety of buns, from traditional steamed bao to sweet mung bean buns, and the prices are incredibly affordable. The bao buns usually range from 12k to 15k, while the mung bean cakes are only 3k each, piping hot and full of fragrant goodness.

Crab Noodle Soup is a beloved, humble dish commonly enjoyed by the people of Nha Trang, particularly after a long day’s work. Picture a bowl of flavorful broth, with the rich golden hue of crab paste, complemented by the soft red of tomatoes, alongside noodles, fresh herbs, fish cakes, chili, and lime. All these ingredients come together to form a truly irresistible bowl of crab noodle soup.

Mytour has compiled a list of great spots for you to try these delicious bowls of crab noodle soup. Whenever hunger strikes, these places are ready to serve:

• Crab Soup at Xương Huân, near the end of Nguyễn Công Trứ Street, after Chợ Đầm
• Crab Soup at Lốp Xe, Thái Nguyên Street

Crushed Rice Cake is a great option for those who enjoy late-night snacks. The name might sound unusual, but the 'crushing' refers to the process of smashing the cake to enjoy it. It consists of crispy grilled rice paper on the outside, with soft wet rice cakes inside, drizzled with scallion oil, and served with shrimp, boiled pork, or grilled meat, depending on the restaurant.

If you’re in the mood to try it, be sure to visit Hồng Lĩnh Crushed Rice Cake Shop (16 Hồng Lĩnh Street, Nha Trang City), but go early as the place gets very busy. The price for one serving usually ranges from 30,000 to 40,000 VND.

If you're at the beach, you definitely can't miss out on the seafood, right? Nha Trang is famous for its seafood, and one of the most popular dishes is grilled fish, which has its own unique style. In the late afternoon, the grilled fish spots are bustling with both casual and upscale patrons. Along with other dishes like shrimp, blood cockles, and stuffed snails, make sure you don’t miss out on this specialty, especially the highly favored grilled fish such as skin-on fish and red-edge fish, served with a spicy salt dip.

Being located near the coast, Nha Trang boasts a rich variety of seafood, and snails are a popular dish among locals and tourists alike. The snails here come in various types and can be prepared in many different ways.

Forget about pho or noodle soup for a moment and head to the street food stalls where you can enjoy a few balut or fried quail eggs, paired with a cold beer for some casual conversation. If you're not into beer, you can opt for a few bottles of Da Dang Thanh, which is also great for your health.

• Balut at the Western Street area (Corner of Hung Vuong - Tran Quang Khai)

Porridge is a popular late-night dish chosen by many to satisfy their hunger. It's light, easy to digest, and won't leave you feeling overly full in the middle of the night.

Many places here offer a variety of flavors to please every palate. You can enjoy plain porridge with green onions, century eggs, salted duck eggs, fried salty pork, braised mackerel, or even shredded pork. Some spots even offer pickled radish for free. Recommended places include 46 Thong Nhat (open from 6 PM to 3 AM), alley 14 Dang Tat (open from 6:30 PM to 11 PM), and along Le Loi and Phan Chu Trinh streets.

As the night falls and the temperature drops, anyone feeling hungry will crave hot, comforting dishes. That's when bánh canh (thick noodle soup) shops come into play.

Even though it's late, a bowl of bánh canh here still comes packed with tender pork leg slices, crispy meatball dumplings, golden fish cakes, topped with chili, sweet and salty fish sauces. The broth is rich and flavorful, with a deep sweetness from the bones. A few must-visit spots include the corner of Le Thanh Ton street, open from 10 PM to 2 AM. Sipping on a warm bowl of bánh canh on a cool Nha Trang night is an unforgettable experience.

It’s no surprise that you can easily find vendors selling xôi (sticky rice) late at night in Nha Trang. A hot pack of xôi, filled with tasty fillings, will easily satisfy your hunger in the middle of the night.

The Mã Vòng area and near the train station are home to many xôi vendors. You can enjoy a variety of flavors, such as sticky rice with black beans, pandan leaves, gac fruit, and more. You can also have savory fillings, including meats, braised pork, Chinese sausage, or quail eggs. Prices vary, but a portion typically starts from just 5,000 VND.
