Itinerary
Start the night with Nha Trang’s signature noodle soup. Choose from fresh fish, beef, or crab, served with plenty of herbs and crisp greens. This small, family-run spot is a true local favorite — simple, authentic, and full of coastal flavor.
Next, enjoy Bánh Xèo straight from the pan. You’ll hear it sizzling as it cooks — crispy on the outside, filled with shrimp, squid, mushrooms, and more (we can adjust the toppings to your preference). Wrap it with herbs and dip it in sauce for the perfect bite.
Try green papaya salad topped with homemade beef jerky, served with crunchy shrimp crackers and a refreshing fresh tofu drink. This is one of those places locals have been coming to for years.
You’ll also taste Vietnamese grilled sausage (nem nướng) wrapped in fresh spring rolls, or grilled beef wrapped in betel leaves — smoky, flavorful, and very typical of Central Vietnam.
Finish the evening with a local dessert: candied palm seeds in coconut milk, seasonal tropical fruits, or longan and lotus sweet soup — light, comforting, and the perfect way to end the night.

We had a great evening with guide LaLa, Bach, and Cong who guided us & transported us on the back of their motorbikes around Nha Trang to introduce us to delicious & authentic local Vietnamese food. We got to experience many delicious dishes while enjoying the company of vibrant locals. Thank you for your great hospitality, flexibility and care. Annette, Danny & Ricky
We had an amazing and local experience with Lala and Bach! We ate lots of amazing food over a number of stops. They also dropped us off at our preferred location which was very thoughtful.
I had an amazing time on this tour! Anna was my guide and she was the sweetest. We stopped at 5 different places to experience local food, all being very delicious. The Bánh Xèo was my favourite! Each stop, Anna explained the food and showed me how to eat it. We also talked about so many other things and she taught me a lot about Vietnamese culture and life. She was a great driver and made me feel safe and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want to eat like a local!
Really good food tour with local food expert Johnson.
I had a fantastic time on this food tour with Lala! As someone who isn't used to riding on a scooter, I really appreciated how safe and considerate she was. She rode carefully, adjusted her speed to make me comfortable, and made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. The food selections were excellent and clearly well thought out. In fact, I enjoyed several of the places so much that I went back to revisit them after the tour. It was a great introduction to authentic Vietnamese food beyond the usual tourist spots. Lala was also wonderful company. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and shared lots of interesting insights throughout the evening. I would highly recommend choosing Lala if you're looking for a fun, authentic, and delicious way to explore Vietnamese cuisine. Just one piece of advice: arrive with an empty stomach—you'll need the extra space!
We don’t usually do tours, but we thought we’d give this one a try—and we’re so glad we did. It was an excellent evening from start to finish. Johnson and Tee were fantastic guides and hosts. They contacted us earlier in the day to ask about allergies, food preferences, and any special requests, then tailored the cafés and food selections to suit our tastes perfectly. What stood out most was that this didn’t feel like a standard tour. It was clear they weren’t simply taking us to places because they knew the owners; the experience felt genuinely bespoke and thoughtfully curated. They were generous with their time, engaging, and happy to answer all of our questions—whether food-related or not. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Thank you for the wonderful memories and the very full bellies! Mardi & Dave
Fantastic! Brilliant evening: lovely company and excellent food. Our guides Claire, LaLa and Trang were so thoughtful, knowledgeable and fun. Their communication in arranging the trip was excellent, as was their safe and sensible scooter driving, which put us at ease. A lovely way to spend an evening in Nha Trang, highly recommended! Thank you 💕
Had the pleasure to do this food tour with my guide LaLa. She took me to some amazing places to try a wide range of delicious vietnamese food. This tour exceeded my expectations. I would gladly recommend this tour and LaLa to anyone visiting Nha Trang.
This tour was absolutely fabulous!! We did this as a family of 5 - 2 parents & our 3 sons aged 20, 18 & 15. We wanted our kids to eat some traditional Vietnamese cuisine from little local hideaways & this certainly delivered! Johnson, Tee, Trinh, Thao & Trang picked us up at our accommodation & we embarked on our evening of culinary delights! There were some dietary requirements in our group & this was all taken into account. We had Bun Bo Hue, Bahn Xeo , Papaya Salad, Beef jerky, Grilled Beef with buttery Baguette (with special sauce) & ended the feast with dessert options of fresh fruits, coconut icecream, creme brulee or fruit smoothies. So much delicious food & 5 very full bellies! (Even the 3 boys were full!!!) I can't recommend this tour enough! We felt safe on our motorbikes at all times, English speaking tour guides & a mix of history along with our food experience. Thanks Johnson, Tee, Trinh, Thao & Trang!! 😁❤️
We did a tour led by Johnson and loved every minute of it. Everyone was kind, professional, and safe, and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend.
