Food: Varied food yet overpriced

Tan Cang Newport Seafood offers an extensive variety in its menu, however, it falls short when it comes to creativity, with many saying the restaurant lacks culinary magic.

The seafood, however, was consistently praised for its freshness and the portions were generous.

Vibe: Cramped and chaotic

The dining experience at the restaurant is very discomforting with an ambiance that is cramped and features outdated furniture. The restaurant's view, unfortunately, isn't appealing either with many guests seated by the parking lot or directly in view of the kitchen. The limited beer and wine selection, coupled with the excessively loud and crowded space, makes it an altogether unpleasant place to have a date.

  • Negative Buzz

    Outdated, chaotic, cramped and lacks visual appeal; not picturesque.

Perks: Inadequate perks

Perks at the restaurant are scarcely found, parking is limited and difficult, the noise levels are challenging, disrupting communication. The outdoor seating is crammed, noisy, and uncomfortably close to the parking lot. Service is slow, and rudeness seems standard. They could also add more variety to their vegetable dishes for those with dietary restrictions. Moreover, children seem to have a hard time navigating the restaurant leading to potentially dangerous situations.

  • Great For Groups

    Efficiently accommodates large parties with ample space and family style.

  • Okay For Kids

    Family meals are popular and a good deal; suitable for large parties.

  • Bad For Diets

    Few mixed vegetables, lacking variety and color in dishes.
