Seashell by Nu Eatery
Description
Seashell by Nu Eatery sits in a quiet lane in the old town, small plates Vietnamese done with enough care that people keep calling it the best meal of their entire trip. The kitchen is visible from the street through a glass window, which tells you something about their confidence in what’s happening back there.
The bao buns and crispy chicken get name-checked constantly, but the fish tacos have their own fanbase too. Order broadly – this is a menu where spreading out rewards you more than committing to one or two dishes.
The place is small and fills up fast (the queue at peak hours is real, not the performative kind). One reviewer noted service can feel rushed on busy nights, so if a leisurely pace matters to you, aim for an off-peak slot.
