(No one ever says I do, maybe a lil, but definitely not fully) Owner: "No, but I can tell you are by the amount of fish sauce you're pouring all over your plate." Me: "Oh, haha. Yes, I like me some nuoc mam (fish sauce in Vietnamese)" -------------------------------------------------------------- 3.5 stars The owner was pretty nice and engaged in small talk with me. As much as I enjoyed chatting with him, the food just didn't cut it for me to rate it higher. I had the grilled pork chop rice and it was just so-so. Even the Vietnamese establishments in the USA taste better. On the plus side, they have specials here ranging throughout the day from breakfast to dinner that are VERY generous for the price (starting at just 19hkd!). + 3hkd&up to add a drink. Heads up for those that are a fan: They're opening another Soo Viet in Kennedy Town in about a month, so business must be pretty good.

This is one of my favourite pho joints in all of HK. The soup is fresh yet flavoursome and very…read moretasty! They have their noodles right (not the dehydrated then rehydrated type) and be sure to ask for the brown sauce with chilli to dip your meats! Their bun bo hue aka spicy beef noodle soup is out of the world, no where else in HK have I been able to find another that's similar. Must go and try their bun bo hue if nothing else. Their other dishes might be a little hit and miss, but for my favs on the menu, always 5 stars!

Besides donburi and teishoku, you can also order ala carte like an izakaya. I had the tofu salad and the cold soba and they are both delicious. The soba was cooked perfectly (al dente).

Ordered a bunch of dishes to share. baby shrimp - tastes great with the accompanying sauce Egg whites faux crabs - interesting dish. egg white that is made to somehow have the same consistency as crab. Steamed stinky tofu - not as stinky as normal fried tofu but similar taste albeit much softer when you bite into it Braised beef - beef is so tender and they cut it into bite size pieces for us XLB - great consistency with plenty of juice and a thin, chewy skin. Pan Fried buns - not much juice inside at all. salted pork and steamed cabbage - the salted pork tasted like prosciutto and the steamed cabbage helps balance out the flavor Overall, I really liked this restaurant. Lots of uncommon Zhejiang style dishes to try here which really widened my appreciation for chinese food.

The fresh spring rolls were actually okay (had a nice fresh crunch to it) and it started off promising until I got delivered the pho. Disappointing, flavourless and watered down soup stock. Where were the bean sprouts, fresh herbs, chilli and lime? Noodles were fresh and there was a winter melon in my soup (what???) and which made me think that this place is more influenced by Cantonese than Vietnamese. Did I just order the wrong dishes? How does this restaurant even get a high rating? Am I just spoilt that I've had amazing Vietnamese restaurants up to the point I moved to Hong Kong. Gah! I really wanted to like this.

This is probably one of the last standing, affordable Vietnamese restaurants in Central. Although a…read morelittle bit hidden down an alley way, it's worth the trek if you're looking to fill your pho craving. I've had this place twice now, once for pho and once for curry beef brisket. I really enjoyed both. Although the pho wasn't anything spectacular or wow-ing, it was definitely enough to settle my craving for warm, beefy pho. The beef brisket in the curry was tender and soft, and curry itself was creamy. If you're looking for a quick, dirty, and affordable Vietnamese spot in Central, this is the place to go.

Coming from southern cali where there are a lot of good Vietnamese cuisine, I was kinda reluctant to try this place as my first meal. However, this place was Amazing! If you appreciate Vietnam cuisine this place is a must try!!

It comes with pictures so you kinda know what you are getting. The food comes out pretty fast and they are appropriately seasoned with Vietnamese spices. I didn't find a need to add fish sauce for my bun (vermicelli).

I am currently based in Hong Kong for the spring semester for a business school exchange. I love…read moreCantonese food to my heart, but I definitely was afraid I wouldn't be able to find semi-authentic Vietnamese food if I had the cravings. I was wrong when I found Nha Trang in Tsim Sha Tsui. Nha Trang is surprising a local favorite as the queue times can be to upwards of 25-30 minutes for a two person table. When we were given our seats, I reviewed the beautiful menu and saw the fish sauce bottle and know that this was truly a Vietnamese restaurants. There were many dishes that I do not typically see offered when I am in the states such as Hanoi skewer and imported Saigon beer. The prices for the dishes are standard of TST and on par with U.S. We ordered the pho tai ga, bun thit nuong, crispy banh xeo, Hanoi skewer, and two imported Saigon beers. For the most part, these dishes were decent and definitely a step above other Vietnamese Hong Kong based chains. I love the broth of the pho. It reminded me of home and definitely satisfied me with the clear and simple flavor. The bun was interesting as it is not the noodles that I typically see in this dish. It was good nonetheless. The banh xeo was okay... a bit expensive as it was $7 USD for one banh xeo. And lastly, the hanoi skewers were very delicious when wrapped with the herbs and dipped into the fish sauce. Overall, I agree with other Yelpers that Nha Trang Restaurant is the closest thing to Vietnamese food in Hong Kong. Enjoy!

It took 15 mins to get seats from Pizza express (we cancelled), instead continued to wait for Nha Trang until 30 mins. If you are first time visitor to HK, this is good place that you can shop and eat inside Harbour City. About the food, frankly, this is a beautiful fast food, you will be asked to check within 1.5 hour or less. It seems all food are ready in Kitchen, then, order, reheat, deliver, and check. If you don't have much expectation on food, the sea view is amazing! You should come and see but I will go pizza express next time. Thank you for reading:)

Their big delicious bowl of rare steak pho is $68 (I think... wow I am sucking at this review already!!). And get this -- the rare steak is FILET MINON. Ooooohhhh my goodness it is so tender it practically melts in your mouth, and they do not skimp on it!! In addition to rare steak they offer the other usual pho offerings -- beef balls, tripe, tendon, etc. I opted for rare steak and beef ball with cilantro and onion, and a yummy ice lemon tea that came in a cute mason jar. The service was great, and after the owner or manager saw that had waited for my food what apparently to him was too long, he took the drink off my bill. How nice! I hadn't complained -- or to be honest, really been sitting there THAT long -- so I thought that was really nice! Next time I go I am definitely trying their spring rolls. They looked delightfully crispy. They also had chicken wings and garlic fries -- both looked amazing! I concentrated on the pho for this trip :) Hidden up Li Yuen St behind the stalls, so keep an eye out!
