Nam Gia Seafood Restaurant (Nhà hàng Năm Giã) is a family-run seafood restaurant right on the sand at Lot 2 (right side), An Bang Beach, Hoi An. It was opened in 2000 by Mrs. Trần Thị Giả, who was born in An Bang village – the village that gives the beach its name – and it is still run by her family today.
Our story
When Mrs. Giả opened the restaurant in 2000, the idea was simple: serve the seafood of her home beach the way local families eat it – chosen alive, cooked simply, eaten by the sea. More than 25 years later, that is still how we work.
How we serve seafood
- Choose from the tanks. Prawns, crab, lobster, fish, snails and shellfish are kept alive in saltwater tanks until you order.
- Weighed in front of you. Live seafood is sold by weight at the day’s price; we weigh it at your table and confirm the price before cooking.
- Cooked your way. Garlic butter, steamed with lemongrass, grilled with scallion oil, salt and chili, tamarind, cheese or salted egg sauce.
- Eaten by the sea. A covered beachfront terrace with an open sea view – shaded at lunch, breezy at dinner.
