Passion Restaurant & Bar
Description
Passion sits at An Bang Beach and does Vietnamese food well – the grilled fish served on banana leaf is the move here, and multiple people have gone back specifically for it. Portions are large, prices are fair, and they actually bring both people’s food out at the same time (rare enough in Vietnam that reviewers mention it).
The staff are friendly in a way that feels genuine rather than performative – you might get complimentary fruit at the end of your meal. They accept credit cards, which An Bang beach restaurants don’t always do (there’s a 3% surcharge, so now you know).
The coconut clay pot eggplant is worth ordering if you want something vegetable-forward. Draft beer at beach-town prices rounds things out.
