Sometimes you want home cooking, but you don't want to cook at home. You crave a wholesome meal, but all you have in your kitchen is ingredients. Sound familiar? If you're feeling like this, and yearning for traditional Vietnamese cuisine with a comfortable homestyle ambiance, try Chuồn Chuồn Kim in downtown Nha Trang.

As you approach the restaurant along Hoàng Hoa Thám street, the open concept dining room and kitchen seem to beckon you from the sidewalk with a brightly colored, yet subtly tasteful, decor. It feels like you’re walking off the street right into a Vietnamese village in the countryside. Step off the sidewalk into the cozy, welcoming dining area. A handful of darkly finished wooden tables with comfortable bench seating and exposed brick and cinder block walls reinforce the rustic homestyle impression. More seating is available on the second floor.

The restaurant is brimming over with plant life, like a village garden in miniature. The calming sound of running water from a small fountain combines soothingly with the sounds of cooking and dining.

The Menu is simple but varied, including traditional appetizers, as well as pork, beef, chicken, fish, and vegetarian dishes. The food arrives in generous bowls and wicker baskets, inviting you to dig in.

Our Recommendations

We tried the stir fried beef with crab claws (120k VND, $5), mixed vegetables with ground peanuts (45k, $2), and iced (cooling) tea (30k, $0.90). But the real star was the fried pork belly with salt and lemongrass (95k): The rich taste of the pork combined perfectly with the citrusy-gingery tang of the lemongrass. It’s no wonder this dish is at the top of their most recommended list!
