A trip to the Tien Thanh coast and NovaWorld Phan Thiet isn't complete without fresh seafood. First-time visitors, though, often worry about being overcharged or getting served seafood that's been frozen. Below is a list of 10 seafood spots rated highly by locals and villa guests alike.
1. Hai San Cay Bang Tien Thanh
One of the longest-running seafood spots along the coastal road ĐT719. Known for its live-seafood tanks — you pick your own seafood and it's weighed right at your table.
- Address: ĐT719, Tien Thanh ward, Phan Thiet (a 5-minute drive from NovaWorld).
- Signature dishes: one-sun-dried squid grilled with salt and chili, steamed crab with lemongrass, Phan Thiet-style seafood hotpot.
- Price range: 150,000–300,000₫ per person.
2. Quan Hai San Lang Chai Tien Thanh
Right on the water's edge with an open-air setup that catches the natural sea breeze. Well suited to large families or team dinners.
- What sets it apart: clearly posted per-kilo pricing, fast preparation, a bold Binh Thuan coastal flavor.
- Worth trying: cheese-grilled lobster, scallops with scallion oil, honey-glazed sea snails.
3. Hai San Thuan Phat — tile-grilling specialist
If you want something different, Thuan Phat's tile-grilling style is worth the visit. Seafood keeps its natural sweetness when cooked on a heated clay tile.
4. Quan Gio Bien Tien Thanh — sunset views
The best time to visit is 4:30–6:00pm. Enjoy a plate of oysters grilled with scallion oil while the sun goes down over the Tien Thanh coast.
5. Hai San Bien Dong — delivers to your villa lobby
If your group is renting a NovaWorld villa and wants a garden BBQ without going out, Hai San Bien Dong will prep and pre-season the seafood and deliver it straight to your villa door along with a charcoal grill. The delivery hotline is in the MH Travel housekeeper's guide.
6. Ordering tips & how to avoid overcharging
- Always ask to see the posted per-kilo price list before ordering.
- Watch your seafood get weighed at the tank before it goes to the kitchen.
- Ask about the preparation fee directly (most places don't charge for it).
- Don't follow taxi or motorbike-taxi drivers to unnamed spots they recommend.
- Don't buy seafood from unlicensed vendors selling on the beach.
