Quán nhậu 35 Bia Sệt still open in 2026?
The bia sệt is best treated as a starter, not the whole night. Order the đậu hũ chiên and a few grilled items early, since the kitchen slows down once the tables fill up.
Corner of Nguyễn Trãi, near the roundabout.
Weekday lunchtimes, mostly locals.
Lunchtime means 11:30 sharp, by noon the office crowd from Bùi Thị Xuân fills every table.
that tracks. the local crowd thins out hard after 1:30 or so, so the bia sệt keeps flowing longer than it would at dinner. mon or tue if you want the quietest tables.

is Quán Bạch Tuộc Nướng Nha Trang worth a stop in 2026?
I went last year and it's not a tourist trap, mostly Vietnamese families grilling at the table. Book ahead for Saturday, walk-ins get squeezed after 7pm. Beyond octopus they do scallops, shrimp, and a decent bò nướng you cook yourself. Prices sit around 200k to 300k per person with drinks. It's on a side street in District 3, a short Grab ride from the center, so worth it if you're nearby rather than a special trip.
Scallops sell out by 8pm, go early.
Agreed, and the ốc hương (babylonia snails) go even faster, so order those the moment you sit down.
Book by phone rather than Facebook since the owner rarely checks messages during service.
Gozleme stand nearby, cash only.
the goi cuon too, easy to miss on the menu
Their mắm nêm dipping sauce is the real reason to go, funky and worth asking for extra.
weekday lunch is way calmer tbh
Lunch sets run cheaper too, around 150k.
Yeah midweek midday is a totally different vibe, no queue and the grill stays yours. Just check they're actually open, some of these spots only fire up for dinner on slow days.
