All Seasons Da Nang Restaurant: Lobster & Seafood All-You-Can-Eat

Da Nang’s lobster buffet comes with an important wrinkle: lobster is not included in the base seafood package. Choose the no-lobster option, or pay more for half a lobster, one lobster, or unlimited lobster, alongside crab, shrimp, oysters, sashimi, and other dishes.

I like two things about the setup: staff bring food to your table instead of sending you around with a plate, and they may peel crab and shrimp for you. The dining room is near My Khe Beach and Son Tra Peninsula, so it can fit neatly after a day out. One catch: drinks cost extra, and the seafood menu has drawn mixed opinions on freshness and flavor.

Key points before you book

• Lobster is an upgrade: The lowest-priced package includes seafood but no lobster. Unlimited lobster costs more than twice as much.
• You order at the table: This is not a conventional walk-up buffet. Staff take orders, and dishes arrive in portions.
• Shelling help can make the meal easier: Staff often assist with crab and shrimp, though the level of help may vary by floor.
• Plan for extra drink costs: The packages exclude beverages, and the menu can change with seasonal availability.
• Choose your time carefully: Listed sessions include lunch, an early dinner, and a later dinner. The restaurant’s general hours are listed as 5:30 pm to 10 pm, so check the timing on your selected voucher.
• Think about raw seafood: Oysters and sashimi are part of the advertised spread. If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, contact the restaurant before booking.

A seafood feast, served to your table

All Seasons Restaurant is at 193 Nguyen Van Thoai in Son Tra District, a practical address if you are staying near My Khe Beach or heading back from the Son Tra Peninsula. Its draw is a seafood meal with several price levels, rather than a simple set menu or a plate piled up at a self-serve counter.

The dining room is described as luxury and seaside-inspired, with a comfortable setting suited to families, groups, and celebrations. The three-story building has different seating areas, but the floor you get may matter. Some diners have been seated upstairs, and there is no elevator according to one account. If stairs are a concern, ask about ground-floor seating when you arrive.

Expect a restaurant meal with staff service, not a free-for-all buffet line. You place orders with a server, then eat and request more. One useful feature of this approach is that you can try a few dishes without loading up a plate, and the kitchen can prepare additional orders as you go. It also means you may wait for items during a busy period, so this is not necessarily the fastest dinner choice if you have a tight schedule.

The restaurant’s service is one of its clearest strengths. Staff are often praised for being friendly and attentive, and some help peel crab and shrimp at the table. Names that have received personal thanks include Sam, Hoa, Sunny, Hao, and Ly Ly. That is a welcome touch when you want to enjoy shellfish without turning dinner into a hand-cleaning project. Still, service can vary: ask your server what help is available, especially if you are seated upstairs.

Pick the right package for your appetite

The package choice is the key decision. Listed prices start at US$29.65 per person for all-you-can-eat seafood without lobster. Adding half a lobster starts at US$37.09, one lobster at US$45.80, and unlimited lobster at US$64.39. The same package prices are listed for lunch and dinner, though your selected booking time determines when you can eat.

The no-lobster package can make sense if your priority is variety rather than lobster itself. The spread includes seafood such as oysters, crab, shrimp, sashimi, and grilled dishes, along with seasonal specialties and non-seafood options. If lobster is the reason you are coming, do not assume it is part of the basic buffet. Choose the package that names it.

The half-lobster option is a middle ground if you want to try lobster without committing to the highest price. One lobster costs more, while unlimited lobster is best suited to people who genuinely plan to order it repeatedly. If you are unsure, remember that crab, prawns, and the rest of the seafood selection can fill you up quickly. One diner who chose a lobster package said the lobster left little room to sample the rest of the menu.

There are reports of different lobster preparations, including cheese and garlic-butter styles, as well as chili and sesame-garlic flavors. The exact choices can vary. Ask what is available that day before settling on a flavor, and save space for other seafood if you want a fuller picture of the menu.

At roughly US$30 to US$64 per person before drinks, this is not a bargain meal by local street-food standards. The value depends on what you order. Seafood lovers with a large appetite may find the higher package worthwhile, especially if lobster is a priority. If you eat modestly, or mainly want a good Da Nang dinner, the no-lobster option or a regular seafood restaurant may be the more sensible spend.

What arrives at the table

You can expect a broad mix of seafood and other dishes, but do not mistake a long menu for a guarantee that every item will be available. The menu changes with the season and ingredient supply. Several diners liked the freshness of the seafood, especially lobster, crab, and large prawns. Others found some dishes ordinary, salty, bland, or unavailable during their visit.

The lobster is the headline item. Some diners have found it fresh and flavorful, with the garlic preparations a favorite. Others thought the portion was smaller than expected, particularly with the half-lobster package. That makes the package distinction important: the word lobster may set a grander expectation than a half portion delivers. If a particular size or cooking style matters to you, confirm it before ordering.

Crab and shrimp also draw praise, and shelling help can make them easier to enjoy. A seafood tower or starter platter may be served to introduce the available choices, after which you can order more of your favorites. Portions can be modest, which is helpful for sampling, but it may take several rounds to build a full meal.

There are non-seafood choices, including meat dishes, vegetables, and desserts. The spread is useful if you are dining with someone who is less keen on shellfish, but seafood is the safer bet for setting expectations. Some diners found the meat less successful than the seafood, with beef described as overcooked or tough. Desserts, including coconut ice cream, have earned praise, so leave a little room rather than ending the meal after the last prawn.

A practical note about raw items: the menu includes sashimi and oysters, and one diner reported becoming ill after eating raw seafood. That account cannot establish what caused the illness, but it is reason to use your own judgment with uncooked shellfish. If you prefer to avoid raw food, ask staff which items are cooked. The restaurant does not guarantee that dishes are free of allergens, so anyone with allergies or dietary needs should contact the restaurant before booking.

Timing, crowds, and comfort

The listed meal slots are lunch from 11 am to 2:30 pm, early dinner from 5 pm to 7:15 pm, and late dinner from 8 pm to 10 pm. General opening hours are also listed as 5:30 pm to 10 pm daily. Because the published session times and general hours do not line up perfectly, use the time shown for your selected package and confirm it with the restaurant if needed.

The early dinner can work well after sightseeing, particularly if you are spending the day around My Khe Beach or Son Tra. The later sitting gives you more time for an afternoon activity, but leaves less room for an unhurried evening afterward. In either case, this is a meal to schedule as an event, not a quick stop between plans.

The atmosphere is generally described as clean and comfortable, but the room can get busy when tour groups arrive. Some diners found the first floor quieter or easier for individual bookings, while others were assigned to upper floors. Seating arrangements can differ, and a floor requested in advance may not be available. If you are meeting a group, arrive with enough time to get everyone seated together.

Families and celebration groups are a natural fit for the format. The restaurant has been used for birthdays, and one party received a cake and a staff birthday song. That is a thoughtful possibility, not something to count on without asking ahead. Children 130 cm or taller are charged the adult rate; children 109 cm or shorter eat free. The supplied information does not specify the charge for children between those heights, so check before booking.

Getting good value from the meal

Start by choosing your package with a clear idea of what matters most. If you want lobster, pay for the lobster tier you intend to use. If you mostly want crab, shrimp, oysters, and cooked seafood, the base package avoids paying extra for lobster you may not eat.

Order in manageable rounds. Since staff bring dishes to your table, you can sample a few things, then ask for more of the items you like. This reduces waste and leaves room to try different preparations. It also lets you pace the meal rather than ordering too much at the start.

Ask for help with shells when you sit down. Staff have peeled shrimp and crab for some diners, but the service has not been consistent across every floor or table. A quick question avoids expecting a service that may not be available in the same way for everyone.

Include drinks in your budget. Beverages are excluded from the package, and cocktails can be purchased separately. If you are comparing the total cost with another dinner option, the package price alone is not the final bill.

Finally, go for the seafood rather than expecting every dish to shine equally. The strongest case for All Seasons is the chance to order seafood repeatedly in a comfortable room, with attentive service and optional lobster. The weaker case is value for diners who eat lightly or expect every item to feel exceptional. The menu’s range and quality can also shift with seasonal supply.

Should you book All Seasons Da Nang?

Book it if you enjoy seafood, want a sit-down all-you-can-eat format, and like the idea of adding lobster to a meal near My Khe Beach and Son Tra. The table service and shelling assistance can make a long seafood dinner more relaxing, and the package tiers let you control how much you spend on lobster.

Think twice if you are mainly seeking the lowest-cost dinner in Da Nang, have little appetite, or expect a self-serve buffet with every dish consistently available. I would choose the no-lobster package for general seafood sampling, half lobster for a taste, and unlimited lobster only if lobster is the main event. Check the selected time, budget for drinks, and contact the restaurant about allergies or seating needs before you go.
