“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“We had the shrimp salad rolls, brisket pho, and chicken fried rice. The shrimp rolls were very fresh and refreshing, packed with crisp lettuce and served with a rich peanut sauce that paired well with them.

The highlight was definitely the brisket pho. It was one of the best pho I’ve had so far. The broth was exceptionally well balanced, with great depth of flavor and just the right richness. The portion was huge, and they were very generous with the brisket, which is something you don’t always see. One bowl was enough to leave me completely full.

The chicken fried rice was also well executed. Nothing particularly unique, but the flavors were balanced and everything was cooked properly.

Service was very fast, and our food arrived quickly. The restaurant was quite busy when we visited and we got the last available table, though it was a weekend. Overall, a very satisfying meal and a place I’d gladly return to.“

“awesome food and great,very friendly service!“

“Shattuck and Tristan were great!“

“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.“

“A very interesting blend of flavors. Ive tried about 1/4th of the menu now, and theres a lot of things ive had here ive never seen or tasted anywhere else.

I honestly couldnt define the genre here, other than to say its a fusion of American and Asian items, in the most delicious of ways.“

“Best Pho in Everett, I highly recommended 😃“

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

“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.“

“Aroom is the best Vietnamese coffee in Seattle! Even tho they are always busy and full of life they make sure to take care of all their customers! I messed up my online order today and they made my drinks again and didn’t charge me again. Their service is top notch and everyone should make sure to visit aroom when they’re around Seattle or their other location up north!“

“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!!!!“

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

“Good Food and the attention is great“

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

“Best Vietnamese food OB the Eastside“

“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 🤩!“

“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.“

“We have seen firsthand that Pho 84 genuinely cares about people. Their kindness and support of Support 7 helps us serve families and first responders during difficult moments in our community. We are thankful for businesses that lead with generosity, compassion, and community spirit. Thank you for making a difference beyond your business walls.“

“food is amazing as always
i got the seafood lemongrass soups.
super punchy with the flavour and spicy. love it.
the chef always hits.

the male owner had a super bad attitude today that put several tables of customers and take out orders uncomfortable. if you’re having a bad day, stay at home.
he was rude, surly faced, and ignored people’s requests.

also the avocado smoothie is made more with powder than with real avocado. it didn’t taste bad… but it wasn’t real avocado. more perfumey“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Excellent food and service!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“pretty good food and first experience“

“My favorite place 4 delicious pho! Never disappoint!“

“I’ve tried pho from four places in the area and Basil Kitchen is on top. I always get the small vegetarian pho, and the portions are so generous. Even in the small there is plenty of tofu and veggies! I hate when I order pho and there’s only like 3 cubes of tofu on top. So I love coming here. The broth is so good, and I genuinely feel rejuvenated after eating their pho. Like I’m convinced it can cure any illness. I only gave 4 stars for atmosphere because the spray they use to clean the tables has a strong smell, and recently the door sometimes gets stuck open, letting the cold air inside. But the pho is so amazing I don’t really care, I will go anyways. They also do take-out orders!! Also it’s a family business so I love supporting them. Highly recommend!!“
