Cho Dam Market & Seafood Streets
Chợ Đầm Quy Nhơn

Cho Dam Market is the largest general market in the city center. Inside the building you'll find dried goods, fish sauce, fabric, and household items, while the surrounding streets have fresh seafood stalls in the morning. After dark, the seafood stalls and snack vendors around the market, along Xuan Dieu and Ngo Van So streets, are at their liveliest. Grilled scallops, steamed crabs, sea urchin, and oysters are sold by the kilo and cooked to order. Signature snacks include jumping shrimp pancakes (bánh xèo tôm nhảy), fish cake rice noodles (bún chả cá), and Binh Dinh rice paper rolls. Before ordering seafood, be sure to ask about the price and how it is charged (by the kilo) to avoid being overcharged. The market is open roughly 06:00 to 18:00, and the seafood stalls stay open late into the night.
