Chài Village

“Great spot for a seafood buffet in the heart of the city. The service was attentive, and the food was well-seasoned with a good variety of options like lobsters, crabs, and oysters. The rooftop setting offers a nice atmosphere, and it’s definitely a solid value for the price. Recommended for seafood lovers looking for a casual and fun dining experience!”

“Excellent experience! Unlimited lobsters and crabs in all kinds of flavours, as well as cockles, sea cucumber, snails, grilled prawns and oysters. It was such good value and the service was fantastic! Our waiter is always checking to see if we need to order more and how we are going! Definitely already planning our next dinner here.”

“I went here because of all the good reviews. Don't have too much expectations! Food tastes average. The mud crabs are too small. The shrimps are okay. The lobsters are best among all. When they asked me where I'm from, they put me in a private room with other strangers who they think I belong to. I felt uncomfortable in the room. They should have asked me if the seating was okay to me. I would rather be seated at the main dining place. They only served me what I ordered from the menu from the room. The waiters were attentive and helpful. With 2 beers the bill was charged over one million dong, which I felt over priced. Once is enough. Not going again.”

“DO NOT EAT HERE This restaurant is a total tourist trap and should be avoided at all costs. There are 2 menus available for the buffet, one is cheaper with fewer options and a “premium” one for more options on the types of seafood. I took the cheaper option as the premium one dint really appeal to me. The picture in the menu of the cheaper option shows adult sized lobsters as seen below. When i ordered the lobsters off the menu, they gave us crawfish instead that were smaller than regular prawns and tried to play it off as lobsters. We even asked one of the staff what the “lobster” dish was and initially they told us it was one of the black tiger prawns, after that i looked at the staff and asked if he was sure and he quickly changed his answer to the “lobster” instead. It was such a blatant and dishonest attempt to scam tourists. Not only that when we were presented with both menus before we entered, the staff did not mention the difference of the lobsters at all and felt like they knew about it and tried to quickly usher us in. Food was also served wrongly multiple times to our table and food that we ACTUALLY ordered did not arrive multiple times as well. All the food that we ate was way below average, the food tasted pre-cooked, bland and was served cold, which for their BBQ items were a joke. To anybody reading this please do not waste your money here. With the amount of 5 star and one sentence reviews, I suspect they are running a “rate 5 star campaign” for something in return. When we brought up these problems to the staff and requested to speak to a manager. As none of the staff spoke fluent english, they got somebody on the phone to speak to us. After telling the lady on the phone everything, all they said was “i will forward this to our team” was felt so insincere and just wanting to get it over with.”

“Came expecting a great meal and excellent seafood. Food was ok, but severely overpriced. At $50 a head was expecting a lot better due to positive reviews but the crab and lobster were very small and side dishes although free were not kept cold when should have been. Then was forced to leave a positive review to be able to get the check to pay. Half the items shown in images were not available.”
