If you’re craving an authentic Vietnamese noodle experience in Nha Trang, look no further than Bún Cá Lễ Chi.
This hidden gem was introduced to me by a local friend—and once again, it proved that the best food finds always come from locals.
✅ First Impressions｜When Locals Know Best
During my stay in Nha Trang, a local friend suggested we grab breakfast at Bún Cá Lễ Chi—and I’m so glad I followed their lead.
The shop is popular with locals and opens early in the morning. I originally wanted to try their signature dish, Bánh Canh Gạo Hải Sản Hệ (Seafood Thick Noodles), but it was already sold out!
Instead, I ordered the Bún Cá Thập Cẩm (Mixed Fish Noodle Soup), which was still a delicious and satisfying choice. The broth was flavorful and the portion of noodles was generous.
