Nha Trang Beach
Chef Dat and student drivers will come to pick you up from your hotel by motorbike scooter. You hold on behind them as they weave through a sea of fellow riders. Scooters – ubiquitous in Vietnam – are by far the best way to get around, especially on our model, made famous by actress Audrey Hepburn in the 1953 film Roman Holiday. We head away from the busy streets into quieter local neighbourhoods, well off the beaten track, where a low roadside table under an awning is staffed by smiling ladies. First come banh can– soft and fluffy rice flour mini pancakes, carefully cooked in small terracotta pans before being topped with a quail egg or served with toppings of minced pork ball, squid or shrimp. The little domes are ridiculously moreish, a delicious sponge for the kaleidoscope of flavours and textures after being dunked in a bowl containing nuoc mam pha, the heady, pungent fish sauce made from fermented anchovies, mixed with your choice of fried spring onion. Then there’s banh xeo, a crisp pancake – again made from rice flour, but golden with turmeric powder – and filled with bean sprouts, scallions and local squid. You wrap them in your choice of greens and dunk them in the same sauce you made earlier. Next is Fresh rice paper rolls, pick up different herbs and pickled carrot, white radish together with BBQ minced pork wrapped around bamboo stick. Get all of this on a soft rice-paper then make a roll for yourself, dip into a special sauce made from sticky rice, minced pork, fish sauce...and enjoy. Another try would be the famous dish for Nha Trang is Bun Ca (noodle soup with tuna). That is a well combined of onion, tomato, with tuna will give a delicious broth served with different sliced herbs, season to have 4 different flavors of sweet, sour, salty and spicy. The highlight of the street food tour is a dessert of Che Chuoi Nuong, that is a banana wrapped in sticky rice and banana leaf outside then grilled on a low char-coal fire till it gets crispy. Served in a plate topping with sweet coconut milk, sprinkle with some ground peanut. Wow, it is so Yummy! let try it out!

Do not miss this one …
We had no idea what to expect, so this was one of life’s great surprises!! Chef Dat and his colleague were fantastic. Very knowledgable and sharing lots of information about the food and the culture. The food, the experience and the people were first class.

An excellent way to experience Nha Trang's local food and culture!
Chef Dat's tour combined a selection of Nha Trang's best local food with interesting stories of the town's history and culture! We went to several locations that we never would have found on our own, and we really felt like we were able to sample the real local culture in a manageable amount of time. Chef Dat is very knowledgeable about the food and the local people, and he's a skilled driver of the motorbike that gets you from place to place throughout the tour. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to find the best local food in Nha Trang and get away from the crowded tourist areas!

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Street Food Tour With Chef Dat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nha Trang.
How much does Street Food Tour With Chef Dat cost?
+
Prices start at $67 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nha Trang usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Street Food Tour With Chef Dat take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nha Trang is not rushed.
Is Street Food Tour With Chef Dat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nha Trang, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Street Food Tour With Chef Dat?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Street Food Tour With Chef Dat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Street Food Tour With Chef Dat?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nha Trang can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nha Trang and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Street Food Tour With Chef Dat start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nha Trang within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nha Trang?
+
On Outty we rank every Nha Trang experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coral Reef Snorkeling and Floating Bar Party from Nha Trang, Ba Ho Waterfall Discovery - Half Day Tour, Nha Trang Half Day Motorbike Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nha Trang?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nha Trang?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
