I Like Buffet Нячанг

This is the largest and most talked-about seafood buffet in Nha Trang. Ninety dishes laid out by counter: steamed, raw seafood, BBQ, salads, fried, sashimi and sushi, with the menu printed in Vietnamese, English, Chinese and Korean.

The board at the door: 280,000₫ for an adult, 150,000₫ for a child, and the shop's own banner promises free draught beer with the sitting. For a seafood dinner that includes crab, oysters, sashimi and beer, that is cheap. A single plate ordered à la carte at a waterfront restaurant already runs 150,000–200,000₫.

It suits two specific cases: travelling with young children or older relatives who want a roof and a proper chair rather than a plastic stool on the pavement; and a group that wants to try many things without arguing over the order. In exchange, it is a buffet. No single dish matches an à la carte kitchen, but nothing matches the range.

There are two branches, printed on the menu itself: 61 Dang Tat in the north and 1210 Le Hong Phong in the south. Dang Tat is the large one and the one to go to. A third, similarly named address exists: "Nhà hàng I Like Buffet - Trần Phú" at 86 Tran Phu, and if the map sends you there, it is not the place described here; use the map button on the card. Closes at 22:00, and book ahead at a weekend: 088 6838 000.

Other buffets and group meals: Chinese restaurants, Korean restaurants, Mộc Quán. On a wet day, see the rainy-day list.
