Hi everyone, it’s Trip with Kim!
When visiting Nha Trang, indulging in a seafood buffet is an experience you shouldn’t miss. This coastal city is famous for fresh seafood at affordable prices, making it the perfect place to enjoy a buffet-style feast. During my recent trip, I visited Ngon Gallery, a highly-rated seafood buffet located in Citadines Bayfront Hotel.
Ngon Gallery stands out for its wide selection of fresh seafood, sushi, and even unlimited lobster options. Whether you’re a seafood lover or just looking for a great dining experience, this restaurant is an excellent choice. The convenient location in downtown Nha Trang makes it an easy stop before heading to the night market or other attractions.
Ngon Gallery is centrally located, making it easily accessible from most hotels in the area. Situated on the second floor of the Citadines Bayfront Hotel, it offers a prime location right along Tran Phu Street, one of Nha Trang’s busiest areas.
📍 Address: 62 Trần Phú, Lộc Thọ, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa, Vietnam
⏰ Opening Hours:
Since the restaurant is extremely popular among tourists, securing a reservation in advance is highly recommended. I arrived at 5:00 PM sharp when the restaurant opened for dinner. Initially, the place was relatively empty, but within an hour, every seat was occupied. If you prefer a quieter dining experience, arriving early is the best option.
Ngon Gallery offers four buffet options, allowing guests to choose the level of indulgence that suits them best:
| Buffet Option | Lobster Quantity | Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Buffet | No lobster | Most affordable |
| Buffet + Half Lobster | ½ lobster per person | Mid-range |
| Buffet + One Lobster | 1 whole lobster per person | Premium |
| Unlimited Lobster Buffet | Unlimited lobster | Best for seafood lovers |
I opted for the unlimited lobster option, which turned out to be a fantastic choice. Compared to seafood buffets in other countries, this one was surprisingly affordable, especially considering the high-quality ingredients. If you’re a lobster lover, this is definitely the best value option.
Before indulging in lobster, I explored the sushi and sashimi section. There was an impressive variety, including salmon, tuna, and assorted sushi rolls. Everything was fresh, making it a great way to start the meal.
One of the best features of the buffet was the live cooking station. The chefs prepared lobsters on demand, ensuring the best taste and texture. Guests could choose from four flavors:
✔ Chili Lobster – Slightly spicy with a bold kick
✔ Garlic Butter Lobster – Rich and aromatic
✔ Cheese Lobster – Creamy and indulgent
✔ Black Pepper Lobster – Savory with a peppery twist
Since I visited with friends, we tried all four flavors, and the black pepper lobster stood out as my personal favorite.
Beyond lobster, the buffet featured an extensive seafood selection, including:
For those wanting a break from seafood, there were also grilled beef steaks, roast duck, pasta, and pizza. Additionally, a fresh salad bar provided lighter options for balance.
To finish the meal, an impressive dessert selection included cakes, Vietnamese sweets, fresh fruit, and ice cream. While non-alcoholic drinks were included in the buffet, alcoholic beverages such as wine and cocktails were available for an extra charge.
Overall, Ngon Gallery exceeded expectations. The seafood quality was excellent, and the unlimited lobster option was well worth it. Each dish was prepared fresh, enhancing the dining experience.
The restaurant’s modern and spacious interior added to the overall ambiance, making it a great place for both couples and larger groups. Despite its high-end appearance, the pricing remained reasonable for the quality offered.
If you’re planning a trip to Nha Trang and love seafood, this buffet is a must-visit. With its diverse menu, fresh ingredients, and excellent service, it’s easily one of the best dining experiences in the city.
✔ Make a reservation in advance, especially for dinner.
✔ Arrive early (around 5:00 PM) to avoid the crowds.
✔ If you don’t eat a lot, consider the half-lobster option instead of unlimited.
✔ Try all four lobster flavors—Black Pepper was my personal favorite!
✔ Bring extra cash if you plan to order alcoholic beverages, as they are not included in the buffet price.
Ngon Gallery is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality seafood buffet in Nha Trang. Whether you go for the standard buffet or splurge on unlimited lobster, you’re guaranteed a fantastic meal.
