Do your self a favor and get out of the backpacker area and come to this restaurant! The food is amazing the prices are very good all in all an extremely good restaurant. The only downside is having a boiling hot barbecue about 2 feet from you in this kind of weather

We were recommended to this back street BBQ restaurant, and we have no hesitation in passing on the recommendation. No frills, but great service, wide range of local dishes all freshly made or, even better, ready for you to BBQ at your table. It was packed with tourists and locals, and you won't believe how little it costs. We are... More

I pulled up to this place with a group of friends who live in Nha Trang. They all raved and said this place was a must-try! I agree. We opted for the do-it-yourself BBQ and got chicken, beef, seafood mix, fried rice, noodles, veggies etc. Everyone's bill came to about $6 (we split it all including several beers) and I... More

Everyone agrees to say it's the real "do it yourself" BBQ! We took a taxi from the tourist district to arrive to a very busy place, packed with locals, to us it sounds perfect! We BYO'd, they brought us an ice bucket to keep our white chill, the service was fast and efficient. The menu is in english, easy to... More

Amazing food you can barbecue yourself. Our San Miguel beers were opened for us as we sat down. Definitely my food highlight during my qucik Vietnam trip. Skip lunch before you go here.

This restaurant is famous for its BBQ beef and the dish is a must-try. I was recommended by a local to this restaurant, which was stuffed with tourists and locals who patron for the BBQ beef. We ordered a large shared plate and the dish came with a small stove (with charcoal) and a grill net. So basically you have... More

Was recommended to visit here by a local. The setting was off the beaten track but when we found it what a gem! You can order off the menu or do your own BBQ! We opted for that and a selection of meat and fish brought for us to BBQ after it had been marinating in sauces. It was a... More

Excellent food at very cheap prices. Packed with both locals and tourists, this has to be one of the best in Nha Trang. Definitely no frills, the menu has lots of choices the specialty being the bbq, the beer is cold and the staff attentive. Ate here twice and enjoyed it immensely.

Delicious barbecue, cheap prices. However, the atmosphere is not quite good enough. Too crowded from 5pm to 8pm. Lac Canh restaurant should be considerably enlarged to provide more space. Generally, it is a great place to have dinner with friends. Love it.
