Kiwami

Top choice in Nha Trang


One of the best Japanese restaurants in coastal Vietnam, this is an intimate affair with a specialist sushi chef: perch on a bar stool and watch the master at work, or sit in one of the side alcoves. The sashimi and sushi sets are divine, or try some meats from the roaster grill. Sake and Sapporo beer available. Book ahead.
