Ngoc Suong Marina, Ho Chi Minh City

The fish and shellfish are particularly fresh at this popular restaurant. The majority of the dishes are Vietnamese specialties. Shrimp may come raw, steamed with beer or in coconut juice. There is also a smattering of Western preparations—lobster Thermidor and Coquilles St. Jacques (French style baked scallops). Beers and some wines are also available. You can sit in a pleasant air-conditioned room, lined with banquettes or in the covered garden outside.
