- Rice vermicelli with grilled fish and jellyfish (Bun cha ca)
Your trip to Nha Trang would be incomplete unless you tried this type of noodle soup. Although bun cha ca is processed simply, it has brought the natural flavor of the sea to diners.
The bouillon for the dish is made entirely of fish with only a few spices. Parboil the rice vermicelli and place it in the bowl, then top with jellyfish slices and grilled chopped fish. Then pour the bouillon into the bowl. Rice vermicelli with grilled fish and jellyfish tastes best when it is hot. The combination of crunchy jellyfish and the natural sweetness of the bouillon creates a delicious dish. When you enjoy this dish, make sure to include raw vegetables, chili, and lemon.
- Jellyfish vermicelli (Bun Sua)
The jellyfish vermicelli of Nha Trang is a signature dish of this coastal city. It is popular among both locals and tourists.

Thanks to this, the jellyfish vermicelli has a sweet and delicious flavor that you will fall in love with.
Jellyfish vermicelli is especially delicious in the summer because jellyfish helps to cool down the inner body heat. You can easily enjoy a delicious bowl of jellyfish vermicelli at 170 Bach Dang, 6 Han Thuyen, Ninh Hoa Rice Noodles on Yet Kieu Street, and so on.
