TÝ NỰ Seafood Restaurant

A beachside seafood spot that trades on its Cham Island (Cù Lao Chàm) sourcing – when the fish is fresh and simply prepared, it delivers. The oceanfront setting is the main draw, and Vietnamese families seem to agree, filling it up on weekends for exactly that reason.

The cooking is inconsistent. Several reviewers flag oversalting and dishes that lose their natural seafood flavor entirely (the oysters apparently taste like nothing at all). The menu pricing also requires attention – displayed prices are for standard portions, and if staff offer you a larger specimen from the tank, ask the price before you nod yes. That lesson has cost people four times what they expected to pay.

Service runs slow regardless of how busy the place is, and the outdoor seating gets full afternoon sun with no shade. Go early, sit inside, and order what the owner recommends directly.
