Review Nha Trang Vietnamese Restaurant - Frankston

Decor in this place is really out there and fun. We enjoyed looking at it all. The service was also friendly. However the food here was quite average and overpriced in my opinion. The spring rolls were delicious. But my BBQ beef was tough and a bit too salty and the portion was too small for $26. My partner's curry was apparently not that good. We ordered dessert and that was also very small and not very tasty.

This place is my favourite restaurant in Australia, it cannot be topped. The decorations are top tier, food fantastic & staff always so nice. I go here ~once a week. There is not a single other place that can top Nha Trang (Frankston) - not the place in Vietnam. My recommendation: satay vegetarian layer pork

I only like to eat Vietnamese occasionally ,but they definitely have a great selection to choose from ,my meal was average but that's because I was not familiar with the food

This a great Vietnamese restaurant. You should go here! The staff were very helpful, polite and attentive. The restaurant looks great, they've gone to great detail to decorate the space and really give it an atmosphere. The dishes we tried were really great, fresh and hot and brought out quickly. The menu is extensive and everything sounded good. We will be back to try other things for sure. Thanks a lot 👍

Rang at 7pm to place an order for pickup. They said it’d be ready in 10-15 minutes. Arrived at 7:20pm, paid for the order and was told it would be a few more minutes. Just before 8pm, we were finally told it would be an hours wait!! (Despite the fact we’d already waited for nearly 45minutes!). Not good enough. Never been here before but that is just terrible communication and customer service, not to mention a complete waste of time! Got a refund and won’t be returning.

The food was amazing! So many vegetarian options and the mock meat tasted so real! Service was great and very friendly staff. Great pricing for food and drinks too.

wonderful restaurant, absolutely beautifully decorated and always super clean. the food was delicious and i would definitely come back again! service was so friendly and quick. :)

Staff were great and for vegetarians there are amazing options. Something I don't experience too often going out to eat. It was also very fairly priced!

Horrible food. Bad quality meat. never again!!

The food was delicious, fresh and came out quickly and the staff were super friendly too! Would definitely visit here again and highly recommend!

Ate dinner here a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised.<br/>Thought the meal was good and staff were pleasant. Quick service and not too noisy.<br/>Would definitely go again.<br/>

We went last night , food was good ,service shocking, one person got their entree 15 minutes before anyone else same with main course they were served 10 to 15 minutes apart this also happen with desert.<br/><br/><br/>

We went here for dinner a while back as it had good reviews. It wasn't bad food but nothing special. I expected much better based on the reviews. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was good.

I booked via zomato but it booked us into the wrong restaurant so had to book by phone. Anyway we went on Saturday night and found it to be efficient and quick. Started off with a selection of rice paper vegetarian rolls & mixed spring rolls which were accompanied by sauces & Vietnamese mint which goes beautifully with the food. We shared mains of mock duck for our vegan, crispy skin duck, sizzling beef, special fried rice & beef stir fry. All delicious and went well with lotus tea. The desserts were stuck in the 70's, pineapple & banana fritters, ice cream sundaes with peanuts haha. I had coconut ice cream which was light & refreshing. Overall very good value and quite cheap.

Weird restaurant but mostly good food. Didn't like the spring rolls much but rice was great <br/>Staff didn't come to our table after seating us for 15 mins even though there was only 2 other tables with people on them. <br/><br/>

Great service, fantastic food, great atmosphere. Highly recommend the banquet. For our family of 4 with teenagers there was plenty and it was delicious

I am a vegetarian and I am always looking for restaurants that cater to that so as soon as I saw the vegetarian menu I had to try, especially cause they've given mock meats a go! <br/>The decor is gorgeous! A lot of people call it tacky but it really does make you feel happy about being out and not at boring old home. I have only ever gone on week nights so have yet to witness how they handle a busy Saturday night. <br/>The service is OK, I didn't have too much trouble but agree with other reviewers that they could be a bit more attentive especially if they want more drink sales. <br/>The menu is huge but most of it I had no idea what it was going to taste like so it is hard to decide, it would be nice if the waiters were interested in helping with pointing towards popular dishes. <br/>I went with the satay mock duck with a side of rice noodles. It is hands down the best satay dish I have ever had, and the duck meat was of perfect texture I couldn't believe it. I do recommend getting a side of rice or noodles because the 'meat' and veggies won't be completely filling for most. <br/>The drink prices are quite good as are the meals. I usually end up spending $20-25 for myself if I only get one drink. Overall I do suggest giving this place a go because if you select the correct meal you will be obsessed because their meals are of consistent quality!

I've been here many times and consider it a local favourite. It is a bit of a weird experience and when compared with the vietnamese on Victoria Street comes in second on both taste and price - but first for novelty. The decor looks like it was installed in 1973 directly over the that of a greek restaurant. Think tacky asian over vine leaf wrapped columns.<br/>Food is good and the menu has an amazing 'vegetarian meats' section of which some is good and some to be avoided. Do NOT order the vegetarian abalone hotpot unless you're doing it out of interest - it is weird. As is the side salad - iceberg lettuce, curled carrot and chilli. Totally out of place on an asian plate (and be careful as you might be tricked into thinking the chilli is red capsicum. It's not).<br/>I give this the high rating because I find dining here entertaining on so many levels. It can get busy, service is friendly but can be slow at times.

Nice Vietnamese food in Frankston. The staff are helpful and the food is delicious. I've visited Nha Trang multiple times and have never been disappointed, however, I think you do have to know what to order here. We order the spring rolls, the sugar prawns and get the Vietnamese pancakes if they're available!!!

Slowwwwwwww as service. Got there at 7:45pm and didn't get out until 10:15pm. Entree of spring rolls were good, but the pork rissoles were a bit bland compared to other ones I've had. We had Vietnamese curry and BBQ beef for main. Curry was average. The BBQ beef was very dry. As for dessert.. I believe the kitchen closed at 10pm (that's when the restaurant closes) so they cooked our fritters and left it on the bench until the waiters had time to clear our table and serve it. The result was a sad, soggy banana fritter. Would I return or recommend? No, probably not.

The place is tacky inside, sometimes the waiter or waitresses struggle with their English but the food? The food Is divine!! By far the best place for Viet in Frankston. The food is always amazing, dine in or take away.

Well worth visiting. We booked on a Saturday night. The place was about 80% full. With the number of staff working I doubt they could have catered for too many more patrons. Service was slow, meals came out staggered so don't wait for others to receive theirs or you will be eating cold food. With that said the food was good. We settled on the pork rissoles for starters and followed up with the steam boat. I would rate the steam boat as good as anything I have had in overseas. If I can pass on one piece of advice and that is when ordering drinks order two, no make that 3 at a time. Service at the table is slow in the drinks department. If you are looking for a personal dinning experience then this place might not be for you.

After looking around for something to fulfill our Asian food desires, we found this place. The decor was a little bit tacky, but very inviting and the staff were lovely. <br/><br/>The food however, was very average. The portion sizes were small for the price and rather unsatisfying. At $15 for the lemongrass chicken, I expected some rice or noodles for carbs, but only received meat and veg. <br/><br/>2/5 for food<br/>4/5 for restaurant experience

Another favourite of ours in Frankston, this Vietnamese food is absolutely delicious. We have eaten in Victoria Street Richmond too and this would be right up there with the best of them.<br/>Yep sometimes the service is a bit slow, we don't let that bother us!

This place is not terrible. It has a good atmosphere, albeit a slightly outdated, but wonderfully tacky decor. <br/>They cater to their audience and stick to what is safe - which means that they would choose NOT to put certain typical Vietnamese dishes because they feel that locals will not order it, this includes drinks too. <br/>The dishes that I did try, did not taste bad. <br/>It's just unfortunate that they feel like locals won't have a more open palate.

Return customers. We were introduced to this restaurant by friends who have been patrons for some time. Not our usual type of cuisine so we inspected the detailed menu for some time. We found the service very friendly but a little slow. when we received the food it was wonderful and went down a treat. We have been back several times since and would happily take friends of our own in confidence.

Very, very average. Not appalling, just average. wont bother returning.

Dreadful experience. Wont go back.. Service very poor and language a problem when ordering meals. We had overseas Asian visitors with us. They were also unimpressed by lack of service and quality of meal. Fortunately they had been to some very good restaurants in Victoria. Requested banquet for four people with no seafood as one of our guests does not eat. Meal arrived with seafood in soup and main meal platter. Staff wouldn't do anything about their mistake. Our dirty dishes just kept stacking up on our table. We moved our dirty dishes to an adjoining table as we had no room to eat. When ordering drinks it was necessary to prompt staff we had not received them after a 15-30 minute wait. One staff member had to ask the other had we received what we had ordered. Friends had eaten there a couple of years ago and couldn't believe the decline. Final insult was when they were trying to close at 10pm pushing us out the door. Had service been efficient we would have been finished by then. Rating 2/10. Restaurant did not have many customers and we know why. Our bill was over $500. Will be advising anyone who asks good restaurants in Frankston not to go there

Nice restsurant. Good service. Had rice paper duck rolls for entree. Came out very quick. Then stir fried squid with vegetables. Enjoyed immensely. Service was quick and efficient. Will be back.

Great Experience. Had a lovely first visit to Nha Trang last week - great food and wonderful service. Just wanted to point out that the prices listed on their website are old/incorrect, for most of the mains add $3-$5 on to the price of each meat as a guide. Nonetheless, great value for money and a very enjoyable time...will definitely return!

Nha Trang Vietnamese Restaurant - Spring Rolls & Fried Egg Noodles & Coconut Prawns. Great dinner value $66 for 3 people - had the Spring Rolls, Fried Egg Noodles with Chicken and Coconut Prawns.<br/><br/>The drawback for the Spring Rolls is that they don't have enough lettuce to go with the Spring Rolls.<br/><br/>Overall, all three dishes were delicious. We will come back again.

Fantastic service and all our dishes were amazing. Surprised to find such a great place to eat right on our front door step. Will definitely be returning soon.

Nothing to rave about. This place is ok but nothing to rave about. We eat out rarely but when we do we expect good quality and good value, otherwise what's the point?? They are not happy to split bills, be aware if going in a large group.

Get the Vietnamese coleslaw. I've eaten here a few times and found the dishes can be hit and miss - eg I love the Vietnamese coleslaw - so much flavour and really fresh light ingredients - I will go back to the restaurant many times just for this dish! On the other hand their salt and pepper tofu was very disappointing - tough and dry tofu with almost no flavour. So my advice is to try a variety of dishes and don't expect it to be like eating out in Springvale.

So good. My parents have been taking me since I was younger and now my husband and I go and it is still just as good! I love it! The service can be very slow. but it is always busy and it's worth the wait.

Ate there 18 April. Welcoming atmosphere. Friendly and helpful waiting staff. Prompt service. Food excellent, and waiter helped us to decide. Prices very reasonable. Will definitely go back. Helpful with our young granddaughter.

Service was excellent and the nha trang soup is so delicious. It's not highbrow but you always get a good meal.

Has dropped off unfortunately. We have eaten at Nha Trang for many years and of late have been very disappointed. We ordered take away, waited over an hour and when home it was so awful that for the very first time ever we could not eat it. The last 2 visits we have been disappointed in the food. Bland, watery and luke warm.<br/>I won't be returning after many years of frequenting this restaurant.

Plenty of other options around. We went for a quick family Friday night dinner having been told about it by friends. My husband was disappointed not to see his favourite Vietnamese soup on the menu - Pho. The food we had was good but the service was terrible. Our mains all came out at different times with at least 20minutes between the first and the last main and very little interaction from staff.

Pretty Reliable. Good food, good service. We come here a lot. Usually has consistently tasty meals but occasionally we will get something that has been done differently to the way we were used to. Asked if there was a new chef once because the meal was not as good as usual and was told that the Aunty who made the sauce had not done it this time. So get back to making that tasty sauce, Aunty!

Yum! I recommend if you are there with a group to order a few mains, an share. I tried a little of each from five mains and enjoyed them all. Good service from staff as well.

Nha Trang fish soup AMAZING! Was so impressed! My stomach is so satisfied, but I can't wait to eat here again!!!! Take Away menu is cheaper so will even be perfect for a romantic night in with some wine! Must try!

4 stars. Loved everything we ordered, food was hot, service was fantastic and the atmosphere was very nice.<br/>By far my new favorite place in Frankston :)

Food ok. Service shocking. Waited over an hour between entree and main. Wont be coming back.

Me and my girlfriend were here about a week ago. Very friendly and efficient service. Excellent food and very tasty.<br/>Deffinetly recommend two mains they were awesome!!!! The lemongrass chicken with squid or chicken was lovely and the duck with plum sauce and coconut rice!!! <br/>Have recommended this place to all friends and family. Will be back for sure

Like an old holden. Just good decent, always reliable Vietnamese place for dinner. Service is efficient, prices good. Hard to fault really.

Great Food and Friendly Service as well as Value for Money.

Food is good, very fresh. Very gaudy decor, watch out the the flashing coconut palm! But the food is good

Love this place!. This place is amazing! The food is delish, especially the rice paper rolls and the sizzling plate!!! Great service and great vibe!

Slow service but amazing food

Loved the set up and service, friendly staff. Food not authentic Vietnamese but very close, yummy all the same

'Truly a great restaurant'. I went out on a Friday night for my girlfriends birthday dinner to Nha Trang. When we arrived we were placed at the front of the restaurant right near the entrance and when the door opened we could definitely feel the cold. When we ordered the food we were greeting by a friendly waiter who apologized for the lack of chopsticks at the table. We didn't have to wait long for the appetizer which went down a treat. When our mains arrived we were quite impressed by the presentation of my main which was the 'Traditional Vietnamese curry'. Both dishes were great quality and really filled both of us up and so we didn't feel the need to order any deserts. It was truly a great restaurant and I would recommend in to couples. <br/><br/>+ Great quality food<br/>+ Impressive presentation<br/>+ Large drink sizes<br/>+ Happy and friendly staff<br/><br/>- Positioned at front and therefore cold<br/>- No splitting the bill<br/>- Unable to bring me chopsticks when requested<br/><br/>9/10

I have been to Nha Trang a number of times with family and friends. Every time I go there the food is always excellent and the service is also good. If I have one thing to say against the resterant is the last few times I've been there, the card fpos machine doesn't work..

We liked it. We all like Asian food very much and didn't get disappointed here.<br/>The servigs were on the smaller side, but nothing to really complain about.<br/>We sat in the back part of the restaurant, as they were busy that night. Some of the lights didn't seem to work, which made it somewhat cosier than we wished for ;)

Dined here last. Food was excellent, probably the best Vietnamese I've had. Unfortunately the service was a shambles... We were seated and 15 minutes on no drink orders taken and we had to seek out the waiter to place our orders. The food was delicious when it did arrive which was in dribs and drabs. After waiting 25 minutes and still no mains, we had to settle the bill as we had a show to go to. Entrees were tasty and fresh and highly recommend the rice paper rolls. If they could get their service right it would have been awesome...

Highly recommend. This place was buzzing with families and friends enjoying the food and relaxed atmosphere.and service was good considering the place was packed. Started with spring rolls we wrapped with lettuce and two types of mint yum...main was a curry fish very tasty small serves but this left room for dessert...dessert menu was limited to banana fritter or ice cream...ordered the fritter and it was the second best banana fritter I ever had!! Left feeling content and not overfed...walked past the indian restaurant next door and it was absolutely empty.

Nha Trang top notch. We brought my vietnamese auntie here when she came to visit Melbourne last week.... she gave it 10/10 and us well 11/10 .... we brought the kids also, service was grt, although a crayon and paper would of been good ... food wise - Fab, really lovely and I digged the funky decor ... defo be back, generous dish sizes and very well priced , 5 stars from us ..

Would definitely agree with the hit and miss. still happy but service was poor and food only comes out in dribs and drabs

Best Vietnamese restaurant everr. Quality of food, attentive service ,valuable and beautiful decor for me they make foods to die for , especially steam boat.

More hits!. Love the kitschy décor! I have always had really great food here - once I've had an ordinary meal, but this was bland rather than awful. But that one strike is after many thoroughly awesome meals. The rice paper and spring rolls are really good - for mains my favourites would have to be the lemongrass chicken and tamarind pork. I love that you get crispy rolls with the jungle curry. We'll definitely be returning (hopefully without any other misses!).

Surprisingly good. I did not expect much from a Vietnamese restaurant in Frankston, but was pleasantly surprised with Nha Trang. The decor is kind of tacky, but the service and the food is well worth the visit. Recommended.

Surprising. I've read the other reviews of Nha Trang, and agree that sometimes the dish quality can vary but in the main our experience has been that it is excellent, so good in fact that most of the dishes we've tried from here are as good as (probably better than) any Vietnamese we've eaten in Melbourne and better than some we ate in Vietnam. Rice paper rolls are lovely, chicken curry good, BBQ beef excellent and the Vegetarian coleslaw beautiful.

Great food and service. Lots to choose from on the menu and the steamboat is a great way to feed a family cheaply

Rice paper rolls are to die for. Entrees are the highlights. Pick your mains carefully & the curly red things are NOT radishes!

Nichef. Definately hit and miss. Entree's are reliably good but mains can be off for example, their cashew nut dishes are sometimes so sweet they are ruined, the crispy fried dishes can be dried out, the curry beef can lack flavour and heat and not be braised long enough so it is chewy. Other times these dishes are fine. It seems to go in waves, at the moment is is on the down side. Order two entree's and you will have a nice meal.

A bit hit and miss. Too easy to be disappointed
