Nha Trang Vietnamese Restaurant     芽莊越式料理  

I used to come here regularly for lunch when I used to work in Wanchai.
There is guaranteed quality, although it's abit pricey since they don't have lunch sets, and you will have to pay for a drink separately! The moment you eat, it all tastes and smells good, however after you will need to drink alot of water because of the MSG. Anyhow, I still go to their Central branch when I pass by

My friend passed by wanchai and visited me in office, since she was exhausted, we decided to settle down nearby. As she likes Asian food, we eventually went to Nha Trang..

It was the start of the nightmare! After waiting in the chaos for some time, we were treated by a black face, david cheung at the front door, no smile, no greetings, just grab 2 menu, and walk his own away... not even lead our path! Has he ever been trained before?? Does he know a little bit of manner???

The restaurant has nice decor, neat and clean, nonetheless, it is very noisy!
Once there was an arguement between the staff and the customer, it was just so noisy and drew everyone's attention..... There came the so-called Senior person... huh.... that black face!! But, he just stood there, said nothing..!? The customer was expecting him to handle the issue, but nothing done! And the funny face on him make the customer even more angry, and shouted - What so funny??? He dared to show the card, and said - You can make your complaint here!....................

Is he supposed to settle the dispute?? If he is so incapable of controlling the whole floor, at least, he should manage that particular customer, and don't let that irritating and noisy environment affect other customers, right?

Thinking about this, really lost appetite! I just ordered a beef pho... wanted to escape asap!

As for the food, just like the whole setting -> outlook ok, but inside so-so... I've got sooooo thirsty after the beef pho.. must have MSG in it.

The food and service does not deserve the price... I could get better food at lower price elsewhere...

All in all, a disappointing restaurant. Poor service! I will not come again nor recommend to any of my friends.

One of my favorite spots for vietnamese beef noodle soup! The soup at Nha Trang is one of the best I've tasted and the fish sauce is delish! Beef is not bad, and quantity is okay, however if you get the extra side of beef (+$25), you actually get a huge amount more of beef.

Overall, the dining experience is pretty good - the decor is modern, and the place is clean. Other dishes are also good (although some are definitely hit and miss). For example, the tomato soup is good, however, the crepe is really no good.

Happy dining!

We arrived at 9:30pm on a Friday evening.

The decor is nice, however the layout doesn't allow for privacy and the restaurant appears quite noisy. My wife visited a few weeks ago and said it was noisy on that occasion too.

We ordered Soft crab spring rolls, pomelo and prawn salad, and sizzling crepes Saigon (item 801). The crepes weren't available, so we ordered the Hanoi tomato and crab noodle soup (item 401).

The soft crab spring rolls were average but good. The pomelo and prawn salad is mainly pomelo with 2 reasonably large prawns. I'll probably skip this particular salad next time. The highlight was the tomato and crab noodle soup which i highly recommend.

It's the 4th Day of the Lunar New Year - a fine sunny Sunday. My Sydney friend & her family were in town. So we decided to meet for lunch nearby Hopewell Center. We passed by this Vietnamese Restaurant and were attracted by the neat & tidy white decor.

It was 5 mins to noon & the restaurant was supposed to open at noon. As my friend had done a great shopping so would really want to settle down with the heavy bags first. So I knocked on the door and was received by a man (Later known as the manager of the named David Cheung).

The man received the door with a pocker face, saying that they were not open yet. I said we would just like to sit down 1st and would not need any service before noon. He still insisted that we should wait outside the door. I claimed that this is Chinese New Year and everybody want to have a good start and solicited for a convenience.

We finally were "permitted" in and we picked a window seat to enjoy the beautiful sunshine. The table settings in the window side were with 3 small tables for 2. As there will be 6 of us so we asked the waiter to align the 3 tables to accomodate our gathering.

This seems to be a very reasonable request to me but the waiter's response was "this couldn't be done on Sunday" ??!!!

As such, my friend & I had to give up the window view & struggled our way with all the shopping bags to a round table inside the shop.

We hadn't really got our butt on the chair, another waiter asked rudely, "when will all 6 persons be ready ?" As the daughters are still shopping in Wing On I explained that they weren't gonna be a moment late.

The waiter didn't even to serve us water, started preaching their house rule : "all visitors must leave within 1 hours 15 minis!!! So you'd better be hurry !" At that moment, there was only another table occupied.

I asked for the manager to expressed my concern on their customer service. The pocker-face man apeared again. Not only had he recognised the problem, he recited the same "house rule"' when the restaurant were almost empty.

All the good mood were gone. I was supposed to treat my friend & family with a good meal and was ready to spend arround 600 to 800 on this meal. We ended up leaving the restaurant with nothing but fury !

I browsed OpenRice & leant that this is a chain shop but this particular shop in Wu Chong got the most crying faces. No wonder why !

I hope the management of this restaurant could do something about this.... such a nicely-decor place, such a terrible service !!!

This is the second time I have been here for lunch.
The lunch menu is very basic which means not much choice, which I guess makes business sense to get people in and out as fast as possible.
I had the Pho tai chin, the soup base lack in flavour, noodles were average and meat was nothing special either.
I left Nha Trang somewhat unsatisfied.
And its not worth the $50.

Love this place.

I am not sure if the food's authentic, but everything taste delicious to me.

I love their pho (with generous serving of herbs, lime and chilli on the side), the fried water spinach with lots of garlic, and the soft shell crab rolls. We tried the Vietnamese crepe/omelette filled with pork...it was delicious! The deep fried spring rolls were decent, but I won't miss it.

The braised pork belly in coconut juice (not coconut milk) is especially delicious...the sweetness of coconut juice compliments the tender stewed pork perfectly...and the broth is fantastic for dipping...their non greasy prawn toasts

Surely, I'll go back for more soon.

The four of us came for a late supper. There is normally a queue outside this restaurant during normal meal times. There were tables free but unfortunately the waiter told us they were already out of Pho, soup hor fun. Well, that is a great disappointment as Pho is a must for a Vietnam meal. Nevertheless, there is usually enough of other dishes we like.

We have been to this branch a few times and found it to be not half as good as the one in Central, but we were lazy and we live nearer Wanchai and there is easy parking at Hopewell Centre. We ordered, spring roll, steamed rice sheet wraps, vegetarian rolls, broken rice with pork chop, tomato and crab soup vermicelli, roast pork cold rice noodles.

Apart from vegetable rolls and spring rolls being OK, the other dishes were all below standard. The crab vermicelli had no crab to be found and there were cold pieces of egg pieces in soup which the waiter said was meant to be, the roast pork were big pieces of chewy pork not roasted, the broken rice tasted wet.

So next time, we can't be lazy, we have to go to the Central branch which serves wonderful food.

restaurant under french colonial setting, so that they can charge a premium

featuring the English name nha trang to lure in innocent gweilo patrons, and "positioning" themselves to be of higher class >.<

高檔? 低脂? 好鬼多味精就真, 出邊平一半好食過佢! 改個英文名代表識飛!? 個menu睇完我冇嘢揀倒, 揀jor嗰啲都唔得, 咁你話點啦!

順化牛肉檬, the speciality of this dish is extra tough beef brisket with no flavour, the 檬粉was actually 米線, other than that, it tasted exactly the same as the PHO

PHO, tasted ok actually, until I got extra thirsty afterwards.

香茅牛肉撈l檬 咩事! 啲牛肉打獻嘅?! but honestly speaking, disregarding the gravy flooded beef, the rice noodle itself tasted pretty good with generous amounts of condiments, including letteuce, cucumber, fried garlic etc.

Spring rolls, ok, along with the spring rolls came letteuce, and surprisingly, mint leaves, basil and cucumber slices, guess that's why they can charge you double here.

Prawn toast, they emphasise low fat cuisine, guess that was why theprawn toast was baked, not deep fried. Sorry to say, it don't work!

Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk, nope, nothing worth raving about.

ps. there is this obnoxious waiter who thinks the customer should be very familiar with the menu. I didn't even bother correcting his attitude

Just had dinner there one night to celebrate my birthday with 8 friends. Brought a cake and a few bottles of wine. The restaurant said they have to charge us corkage, $100 per bottle. Fair enough, most restaurants in HK do. The restuarant then said they will also need to charge us a cake cutting charge of $10 per person, which we thought was ridiculous. If the restuarant had cake as one of their dessert selection in their menu, then fine. But they didn't have cake on their menu. It's not like we chose not to order their desserts and brought out own, but they simply didn't have what we wanted. The manager (male) was not very pleasant and didn't agree to waive the cake cutting charge even when we told him we were celebrating someone's birthday. It didn't seem to matter to him that we were one of the big tables (if not the only big table) that night. We didn't like the charge and didn't feel it was reasonable (to be honest, we didn't really like the manager's attitude). We didn't open our wines nor had the cake at the restaurant in the end.

The food was so-so. The portions were small. Given the bad experience (and rigid way of they are doing business), I don't think I'll ever go back to this restaurant again.

Dinner here before watching movie. We ordered:

1. steamed egg: ok delicious and sweet, but just a small portion needs $45, expensive!!!
2. chicken wings with pork inside (no bones): there were four pieces ($45) and couldn't compared with the one i ate before at Thai restaurant. The 皮was hard.
3. curry steak: very oily!!! Oil float on the top and can't be cleaned!
4. rice
5. sweet potato: Good, very soft and sweet.

I think it is not worthwhile eating Vietnam food at this cost!
