50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Bothell

“Ordered the Bun Cha, 2V, because I saw it on TV. It's pretty damn good, most Pho has beef broth which I cannot have and this is special in its own right. The banh mi are silencing, most of my friends would rather not ruin their experience by talking.“

“best customer service in town with a smile! 😍way to go! Cheers to Twang! Keep it up, we’ll keep coming back and recommend your place❣️“

“Visited Bamboo Restaurant on a quiet Tuesday afternoon ,not crowded, which gave the place a calm, almost unhurried atmosphere. Service was quick, and the food arrived without delay.

I ordered the #14 pho large. The broth leaned toward ginger and lime, with a light oil finish and a subtle hint of cinnamon, a nod to the traditional spice base. However, it lacked the depth and cohesion you’d expect from a properly slow-simmered pho.

Typically, spices like star anise, cloves, and cinnamon should come together in a balanced, layered way , here, they felt slightly disconnected.
The noodles were thin and cooked well, though fairly neutral in flavor. The meats were a strong point , well-seasoned and prepared correctly, adding needed substance to the bowl.

I also tried the chili oil (saté), and this is where things dropped a bit. It had a heavier, more generic profile — lacking the aromatic depth and freshness you’d expect from a well-crafted blend.

It felt closer to a pre-made, store-bought oil rather than something developed in-house, which took away from the overall experience.

The atmosphere was extremely quiet no music, minimal interaction which made the space feel slightly awkward rather than inviting. Small details were also missing, like basic table spices or salt.

That said, there’s a certain honesty to this place. It has a simple, home-style feel: casual, calm, and straightforward.

At around $20 per person, it sits in a range where a bit more refinement in both flavor and experience would elevate it significantly.
A decent spot if you’re looking for something quiet and uncomplicated — but not quite there if you’re after a deeply traditional pho experience.“

“I'm not too sure about the negative reviews but the girl at the counter was very nice to me. I got a blueberry bubble tea and it was one of the best bubble teas I have ever had. I'm sure the two reviews that are negative must have happened on a day everyone was stressed out that worked in the restaurant and maybe they did get a little snippy but there's no denying that they have very good food and the girl was very sweet to me at the counter. Some of You people act like you've never had a bad day. The dude probably has people try and get four and five bowls of soup at a time on him and with the way cost have gone up on everything I'm sure he is watching the soup like a hawk. I don't blame him.. that's money out of his pocket.“

“This is are favorite Pho place the best fresh vegetables added to the soup ,today was the first time for happy hour for us“

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“The food is so delicious 🫰I love it.If you come to seattle you must try it .“

“Love all of their food! They have a variety of different options for lunch and dinner. Highly recommend!“

“Do yourself a favor — EAT AT LOTUS POND. (1) Carpool to Lotus Pond. The more the merrier. (2) Appetizers: You can’t lose. Everything is good. Me? I eat the Imperial Rolls. Get two orders of the egg rolls aka Imperial Rolls — one order won’t be enough for 2 people. Start there, you’ll be very happy. Also order the pork belly on the skewers please, No regrets. It’s very good. (3) Noodle Soups. Every bowl Is a winner. Pho is great, no question there. However, you absolutely must eat the SEAFOOD with special Red Noodle. (4) Early enough during the day, drink the Viet Ice Coffee. (5) Too bad they don’t have enough staff/hands to make the BANH CUON but they make up for it in many ways. Try everything on the menu. I’m not a relative. I don’t get money or fame for recommending Lotus Pond. I just know authentic good food when I see and eat it. Try it. You will leave with a full, joyous stomach … you will be very satisfied. Happy eating!“

“My fiancée and I absolutely love visiting this spot every week. Pho Tic Tac has truly become one of our favorite rituals. Each visit feels like a small culinary adventure because the menu is so expansive and thoughtfully crafted that we make it a point to try something new every single time. From comforting, familiar classics to dishes that push us to explore new flavors, everything we’ve ordered has been consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. What really stands out is the balance of bold, authentic flavors and comforting warmth in every dish. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the recipes and the presentation. No matter what we choose, the food always arrives hot, aromatic, and satisfying, making it hard to believe we still haven’t made a dent in the full menu. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, perfect for both quick weeknight meals and lingering conversations over shared plates. The staff is kind, attentive, and always happy to answer questions or offer recommendations, which makes trying new dishes even more enjoyable. This place isn’t just somewhere we eat, it’s somewhere we look forward to being. If you’re looking for a Vietnamese restaurant with an incredible variety of dishes, consistent quality, and a welcoming vibe that keeps you coming back, this spot is absolutely worth making a regular part of your routine.“

“fast service and kind staff. straight to the point. personally, i like my broth more flavorful and noodles a little softer but that’s personal taste and not reflective of their hard work.

recommend. may come again with friends. thank you.“

“awesome food and great,very friendly service!“

“A friend recommended this place. Went to try it cause I love banh mis. This family is warm & inviting. Better than YeYes or Seattle Deli hands down.“

“every time my partner & i go on a vacation, she is in the search for the best matcha (for context, she works at a tea shop. so it’s not fully coming from a pretentious place). this place hits the S tier.
amazing matcha. phenomenal Vietnamese coffee. we will definitely be back next time we’re in town.
(also we got the black sesame matcha & black sesame coffee & they were both killer)“

“If you’re looking for a spot with both delicious food and friendly service, I highly recommend this place.😊“

“Shattuck and Tristan were great!“

“Great, deliciuos tasting, very affortable, authentic food to eat in or take out with friendly welcoming staff. Definitely on my favorite restaurant list close to my home.“

“The owners were so nice and welcoming. The food was delicious! I ordered the pad thai with chicken. I ordered the level 3 spicy and it was perfect if you want some spicy but not burning your mouth. The chicken is tender and not dry at all. The pho broth was delicious as well. It has so much flavor I could just sip the broth from a cup. Definitely recommend this place!“

“Best Pho in Everett, I highly recommended 😃“

“My ladies group went to dinner there last night and we had a great food and a wonderful time. The staff was attentive and accommodating to our needs. Highly recommended, we'll be back.“

“The Bun Bo Hue here is absolutely the best we've had in the US. We've eaten bun bo hue at many restaurants and this one shines.

We finish all of our broth every time!!!

This time we decided to get a rice dishbalojg with a bowl of Bun Bo Hue and OMG it did not disappoint!!!! This was our 4th time coming here!!!!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Just a great place fast yet calm!! Love it“

“His first time with Pho, his first time with chopsticks, highly recommend 👍“

“I don't recommend eating here. A coworker and myself tried the bahn mi and spring rolls one day and they were some of the worst I have eaten; ended up just tossing half my order. My wife tried the pho a day earlier and said it was not that good either. I do have an acquaintance that works close by and eats here often. he agress the bahn mi, spring rolls and pho are not good, but says the rice and noodles dishes are ok.“

“Best Vietnamese food OB the Eastside“

“Thank you Ba Bar for delivering lunch yesterday to Swedish Hospital healthcare workers!!!! It was so wonderful to take our masks off and enjoy amazing, healthy food. Thank you for thinking of us!“

“Literally amazing. One of the best banh mi’s I’ve had!!! I got the pork one and you can still taste the grilled char on it (in the best way). It’s incredible flavorful and just as good on day two!

Highly recommend CrackleMi! Can’t wait to try their other dishes.“

“I have so many memories here. This was the first restaurant I ever went to in Lynnwood, and it’s also where I had my first date. Their pho is absolutely delicious and always feels like the best comfort food. I love their drinks too! The cozy atmosphere keeps me coming back whether it’s hot or cold outside, and the customer service is always nice. This place will always have a special place in my heart especially back in college time!“

“We stopped for a quick lunch between errands, and I was blown away with how delicious the banh mi is here! With the most perfectly crisp baguette and phenominally flavorful pork, this is my new go-to spot. I am surprised with how quiet it was mid day on a Saturday! Check this place out so you don't miss out. Will be coming back in cooler weather for the pho!“

“Best tendon Pho ever. Great pho broth nice atmosphere , nice service. Great place to hang with folks or Alone. Yummy“

“Pho is one of the best I have had in Seattle. I personally doubt you will have anything bad here, Spring rolls are always fresh. One of my fav spots!

Quick, fast and delicious 🤤! Service is always amazing 🤩!“

“Just had the BBQ pork belly . Everything fresh and quality of the sandwich is outstanding, served with smiles. Lovely spot for delicious Banh mi (baguette with choice of meat and toppings) for a meal. Plus they have delicious Butterfly sunset tea,Black milk tea, Thai tea and fresh smoothies … All my favorite“

“we made an online order yesterday for pork, beef and meatball sandwiches plus 5 teas/smoothies. order was ready super fast and we had a great meal. the drinks are so refreshing in this beautiful sunny weather! service is always great here. they wear masks and gloves.“

“huge portions with lots and lots of meat, fresh bean sprouts, herbs and something that looked like thinly sliced scallions or leeks. I had bun bo hue, and the broth was super flavorful. Service was fast and unassuming. Overall, a very good and huge bowl of soup.“

“Such a great spot for pho! I got the Pho Dac Biet and it was genuinely delicious. The portion size was great for me and the broth actually reminded me of the authentic flavors back in Vietnam. The owners are also super sweet and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back!“

“We have lived in several places and have tried lots of places here and elsewhere that sold banh mi sandwiches but these are the best banh mi sandwiches we have had! We think they might make their own buns because they are so very tasty and just as good as the fresh baguettes we had when we lived in France! The sandwich ingredients are fresh and flavorful and we especially love the wonderful paté they include on them, unless you tell them you are vegetarian or vegan. They make the paté themselves and it is also as delicious as any we used to have in France! We like their rice bowls too. If you haven’t been to the “Toast Mi”…located in Lacey…we highly recommend seeking it out and giving it a try. If you like banh mi sandwiches, you will be happy that you did!“

“Got their banh mis catered for an event, and not only did they taste great, but the service and price were excellent as well. Actually chose it because it was cheaper than some nearby alternatives but just as good! Will definitely come back to dine in!“

“Soup so good it makes me want to cut my beard off! Seriously, the pho GA is amazing and I often bring a thermos to take the broth on winter hikes. The bahn mi are also very good. Best of all everyone here is really friendly and makes it feel like I'm catching a quick bite at a friend's place.“

“One of my favorite spots for a delicious bowl of pho! The broth is full of flavor, and all the ingredients come together perfectly. The owners are always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. If you're not in the mood for pho, the menu has plenty of other great options—I highly recommend the short ribs!“

“I recently visited this place and had an amazing experience! The coffee was delicious and made with high-quality beans, and the staff was friendly and welcoming.Their beef stew is delightful. The beef was incredibly tender and cooked to perfection, and the vegetables were soft and flavorful.Great experience overall! Highly rec!!“

“Meekong Kitchen is a casual Vietnamese restaurant that’s especially nice when you want something warm and comforting on a cold or rainy Seattle day. The menu includes pho and other Vietnamese dishes, and the portions are satisfying without the restaurant feeling overly expensive or formal.

It’s a convenient neighborhood option for lunch, dinner, or takeout when you’re around Belltown. I like places like this that don’t need to be fancy to provide a good meal. A comfortable local choice when you’re craving Vietnamese food, especially a hot bowl of pho.“

“food is very fresh and delicious. highly recommend this place.“

“A very authentic Vietnamese restaurant with rich dishes and great taste. It is worth recommending“

“This is the best Pho place so far for me. They have 4 sizes of the bowls which is perfect cause sometimes you wanna switch the amount of soup size and the price is from 14,15,16,17 bucks depends on the size. I don’t think you find any deals like this somewhere else. The ladies staff here are very sweet and try to serve you as soon as she can. Clean place!“

“Great place to get a quick and easy bite to eat! The banh mi was tasty (added an egg to mine - worth it), and I loved the spring rolls and sticky rice (not too sweet). I would definitely recommend checking it out if you are in the neighborhood. But beware, there is no seating available.“

“My husband and I have been living in this neighborhood for over a year and we couldn't believe it's taken us this long to discover BOL! After returning from a long trip, we ordered delivery and the driver went beyond the call of duty and dropped off our hot food directly in front of our third-floor apartment door. It arrived before we even got home and we were beyond amazed at the quality of vegetables and MSG-free broth!!!! I've been suffering bad reactions to MSG at many other restaurants nearby so finding BOL is such a game-changer for us and a new favorite staple.“

“The taste that you dont wanna miss!“

“Unbelievable Service, don't know where to start broth really good sandwiches excellent. I will definitely be coming back. Thank You for making my day Pam F.“

“Haven't been at this Than Brothers in ages so the new location was a surprise. It's nice to see that the cream puffs have returned. Easy parking on the south side of the building. Nice open dining room. Always a favorite fast lunch option.“
