Bun Sua (Jellyfish Noodle Soup)

Post on : 05 August, 2025

Bun Sua is a unique Nha Trang specialty made with jellyfish and fish cake in a light, savory broth. It’s especially popular among adventurous eaters. The dish is known for its refreshing, bouncy texture and ocean flavor.

Unlike other noodle soups, Bun Sua uses freshly caught jellyfish, giving the dish a special coastal identity. It is light, healthy, and often eaten in the morning.

The jellyfish is slightly crunchy, complementing the soft rice noodles and rich fish cake. The broth is clear and sweet from fish bones, finished with a hint of fresh herbs and chili.

Eating jellyfish may sound unusual, but in Nha Trang, it's a must-try local treasure. Many vendors prepare it early in the day, so it’s best to arrive before noon.
