Nestled in the heart of the dynamic coastal city, Oi Nha Trang restaurant is a favored destination for domestic and international tourists, as well as local residents. From the outside, the restaurant stands out with its nostalgic earthy orange tones and a lush green garden courtyard. |

Oi Nha Trang's core philosophy is built on the concept of a fusion menu, reflecting the modern rhythm and cultural diversity of Nha Trang city – a place increasingly chosen by people from across Vietnam and the world to settle. The restaurant aims for diners to enjoy famous Vietnamese and global delicacies with familiar flavors reinterpreted in new ways, without having to travel far. |

A highlight of the restaurant is its team of experienced chefs, proficient in both asian and european cooking techniques. The selected chefs are adept at adjusting flavors and creating innovative presentations. |

"Our secret to success comes from combining the freshest ingredients from Nha Trang's coastal region, Vietnam's deltas, and mountains, with characteristic spices from many cultures. Vietnamese dishes are seasoned with famous fish sauces from Nha Trang, fermented fish paste from Da Nang and Thanh Hoa, or pepper, chili, and mac khen (a Vietnamese spice). Thai dishes maintain their authentic taste thanks to spices imported from Thailand. Meanwhile, european dishes are distinguished by the inclusion of cheese, wine, olive oil, and traditional herbs," a restaurant representative said. |
For those wishing to explore Vietnamese cuisine, diners should try the snakehead fish hotpot with bitter melon. The delicate sweetness of the tender, chewy snakehead fish blends with the mild bitterness of the bitter melon, offering a refreshing taste. Additionally, traditional breakfast items like bun bo Hue, mi Quang, pho bo, banh cuon, and banh my are served daily.
Notably, the three-striped crab salad (goi ba khia) is considered a "must-try" dish, featuring a blend of sour, spicy, salty, and sweet flavors from fresh ba khia and the crisp, refreshing crunch of various vegetables, leaving a tingling spicy aftertaste.

From Thai cuisine, the grilled pork jowl with tamarind sauce is meticulously prepared. Each piece of meat has an ideal lean-to-fat ratio and a fragrant charcoal aroma, which, when dipped in the characteristic sour and spicy tamarind sauce, can easily satisfy any palate. Additionally, creative dishes such as five-color grilled pomfret or grilled ethnic pork served with a sour and spicy salad also offer unique flavors. |

The pineapple fried rice is also an interesting highlight, with its golden, fluffy rice grains blended with the sweetness of fresh shrimp and the unique richness of raisins and cashews. |
 |
On the european menu, the charcoal-grilled steak, cooked to perfection and served with BBQ sauce, is a popular choice among diners. |

Every weekend, Oi Nha Trang's ambiance comes alive with live music performances.
"At our restaurant, each dish is not merely a flavor; it is a cultural story. We blend the vibrant rhythm of the coastal city with Vietnam's traditional culture, creating a unique space where flavors, memories, and experiences converge, making it unforgettable for anyone who visits," the restaurant representative stated.
