Indulge in Golden and Crispy Goodness With the Top 7 Fish and Chips in Vietnam
They say too much fried food is a heart attack waiting to happen, especially when it’s a fish fried in flaky batter with a sloppy pile of hot fries. But really, who can resist the crunch of golden fish and chips so hot they burn the roof of your mouth? I can’t.
It just makes you want to forget all about that health shenanigans, and I know I’m not alone on this one. And it’s great knowing that fish and chips is one of the many things Vietnam knows how to do right.
So forget about your diet for now — I bet these fish and chips spots in Vietnam will spark your appetite.

If we talk about the most cited go-to spot for authentic British-style fish and chips in Vietnam, Union Jack is at the top of the list.
They offer two types of fish: local freshwater fish, such as Barramundi, and imported fish from New Zealand, including Ling Cod. Both of these options are great and coated in light batter that’s crunchy but not overwhelmingly greasy.
Their chips are also phenomenal, triple-fried for that perfect crispiness, and you can opt for additional seasoning or a different cut size.
Alongside this British classic are also a few Australian and Irish favorites, such as mash, sausages, and pies.
Pro tip:
You want some extra crunch? Ask for extra batter “scraps” with your order.

This place is not a full-blown fish & chips spot, but since it’s their signature dish and many diners love it, it was named after the restaurant.
Their fish depends on the catch of the day and is fried in traditional crispy beer batter. Then the chips are hand-cut, fried to perfection, and served with a dill mayonnaise on the side. Pair it with a draft beer and you’re in for a delightful meal!
Aside from the signature item, they also serve a wide array of Vietnamese and Western dishes. Prices are more moderate and local-friendly, which many guests appreciate.

Ms. Phuong started with a delivery service during the pandemic era, and later on opened their own space in Hội An due to the increasing popularity of their fish and chips.
They use mahi-mahi for the fish, which is served with a lemon wedge, tartar sauce, and your choice of ketchup or vinegar. The chips are double-fried for extra crispiness, and you can swap them for a half-and-half with a salad.
Aside from their signature item, Ms. Phuong also offers other seafood dishes such as popcorn shrimp, calamari, crab cakes, and more.
While mahi-mahi is their signature fish for most of their dishes, it all depends on its availability in the market since they source it daily. When the mahi-mahi is out of stock, they often use alternative fish like sea bass.

If you’re on a vegan/vegetarian diet, you can try their vegan option, which is the beer-battered vegan sausage and chips.

It might seem strange to see fish and chips in a pizza place, but that’s indeed the case with Crust Pizzeria. As such, it’s best known for its wide range of pizza flavors, pastas, and salads.
However, under the “other dish” section of their menu is a fish and chips item that features imported ocean fish and house made chips, served with garlic mayo on the side.
So, while fish and chips is not their signature dish, many visitors like to order it as a side for their pizza order.
Crust Pizzeria also has a great drink selection filled with refreshing beverages, which are perfect to pair with the fish and chips.
Pro tip:
The consistency of the fish and chips may vary depending on the time of the day or how busy the staff are. We suggest going there during off-peak hours (early afternoon) to enjoy a fresh and crisp batch.
