Ong Gia's Eatery

Crowd

• In the evening many islanders come to eat and drink. Midday and early afternoon are usually quiet, and busy at peak hours. The listing says the place suits tourists and groups.

Planning

• The restaurant has moved. The old Google Maps listing at the end of Lý Thường Kiệt street now says 'Permanently closed' (Bị đóng vĩnh viễn); the current location is plus code GW6X+GJH, near Minh Hậu villa. When it is busy, dishes can be slow, and many customers report waiting from 30 minutes to over an hour. Cua huỳnh đế (king crab) is only available in season, and opening hours currently have no verified source.

Atmosphere

• A seafood restaurant in a newly built two-storey house on a subdivided plot on Phú Quý island, with a lot of empty land around. The restaurant moved here from its old spot right by the sea at the end of Lý Thường Kiệt street, so it no longer looks out over the sea. There is a spacious, airy indoor room with long rows of tables, plus an outdoor seating area under string lights.

Popular for

• People come here for island seafood at modest prices, commonly around 100,000–200,000 VND per person. Mực xào chao (squid stir-fried with fermented tofu) and cá nóc xào sả ớt (pufferfish stir-fried with lemongrass and chilli) are the two dishes customers order most.

Dining options

• The two dishes customers mention most are mực xào chao and cá nóc nhím xào sả ớt (porcupine pufferfish stir-fried with lemongrass and chilli). The newspaper Dân Việt on 12 Aug 2024 called the pufferfish the restaurant's signature dish, but that article dates from when the restaurant was still at the old location. A self-posted review dated 12 Jun 2026 lists sea urchin at 40,000 VND each and grilled cobia (cá bớp nướng) at 150,000 VND for two slices; prawns, squid, crab and swimming crab are priced at the going rate. The seafood is bought at the market the same day and kept chilled; the restaurant has no live seafood tank.

Service options

• Table service, dine-in or takeaway, with beer and spirits, and free parking on the empty land around the restaurant. The listing for the new location does not yet have a phone number or opening hours.
