Why it matters
Why Huong Bien Restaurant is worth your time
Crab from Ham Ninh is one of the foods people associate with Phu Quoc, and a restaurant that serves it steamed lets visitors taste it without a boat trip to the village. For many families, one good shellfish dinner is the culinary highlight of the island stay.
Because the restaurant is on Tran Hung Dao, close to other places named in this guide, it fits easily into a day in Duong Dong. Vegetarian and Jain guests should eat elsewhere, but can still join the table for company.

How to experience it
Kampatour lists Huong Bien at 127 Tran Hung Dao, with steamed Ham Ninh crab and garlic shrimp as its recommended dishes and hours of 10 am to 10 pm. A separate Phu Quoc search result gives the same address and dishes. Treat the hours as approximate.
Ham Ninh is a fishing village on the east coast, and its crab is a local name to look for. Ask whether crab is priced by weight, and have it weighed in front of you. Steamed crab is simple to eat but messy, so ask for extra napkins and a bowl for shells.
Garlic shrimp makes a gentler option for children or older diners who do not want to crack shells. Add rice or a vegetable side, and keep the meal early if the family tires in the evening.
