Noodles near Burien, WA

“The pho was pretty good. Not the best I’ve ever had, but enjoyable. And the wait staff was very attentive and kind. When we’re in Burien we would go back again.“

“This spot feels less like a restaurant and more like a community hub. Homey & welcoming.

Coming from the restaurant background, I grew to love food places that have no gimmicks and are true to their standard - Pho Liu is on top of that short list in Seattle.

I go here 3 times a week & they serve consistently high quality pho. The small bowl (pictured) is more than enough & leaves room to try their delicious apps. Fish-sauced wings, spring rolls, egg rolls are all phenomenal.

One way to tell they take care of their craft is how long the noodles can sit in the broth without releasing any starch. Fresh noodles, perfectly cooked, and well strained. Also their bean sprouts and herbs are extremely fresh. Never once have I had soggy or bitter bean sprouts here - which is more common at pho places than you’d think.

The owner family & servers here are great & kind people, as well. The subtle cues are how many regulars I’ve seen on random visits and how well the fish (in the fish tank) are taken care of.

This neighborhood place is truly one of the last pre-tech boom Seattle relics.“

“Great food! Very authentic! Owners were very personable and nice to talk to. Highly recommend!“

“BEST PHO iv ever had and iv tried from Lynwood to Seattle to Bellevue to everywhere and this place is so good and the customer service makes you feel like your at home i come here about 3 times a week and it’s always so amazing the people working and cooking are so king too. Even the shop just feels like home and in general this place is amazing.“

“I ordered takeout from here and all of the food was so delicious. I ordered the three shredded fried noodles, general tso’s chicken, dry fried green beans, cucumber salad with woodear mushroom. I was so happy to taste the spice! It’s a numbing almost sichuan style spice in the green beans, cucumber salad, and general tso’s chicken! Will definitely be coming back again :)“

“this place is awesome. good food, good drinks, good service. dang, Seattle , you got some good food.“

“🍜 Really yummy noodles!

Both Fisherman’s noodle and Phnom Penh Special had a nice amount of toppings. Add their chili oil for a kick. First time trying WIDE rice noodles, highly recommended!

Friendly staff and lots of parking available in the lot next to the restaurant.“

“Our first visit was yesterday for lunch and we had Chicken Xiao Long Bao, Chicken pan-fried potstickers, Chicken and Vegetable Won-tons in sweet and sour sauce and Spicy (Ma la) noodles.....all were very good! The service was excellent and we enjoyed the whole experience!!“

“We absolutely loved the food, the people, and the history - what an experience! Thank you for an unforgettable night!“

“Previously a 7 year resident of the community, I was tipped about this restaurant by an area resident 3 years into living in Seattle back in 2011. After the first time ordering, I later became a frequent customer. Definitely, a good place for Pho in Seattle!“

“Recommend booking in advance. Very good price and delicious steak! Beautiful presentation. 1 salad + multiple dressings and dinner rolls to start.“

“Order at the door and the seat you. Party of 6 or more they auto charge gratuity incase you aren’t anticipating it. Food is great. They don’t come to check on you but probably due to covid/social distancing. Easy atmosphere. Parking is very limited so be prepared.“

“พอดีรู้จักร้านจากการไปเที่ยว Tawa Thai fastival ที่ผ่านมา สั่งยำแซลม่อนมาทาน แล้วรู้สึกคิดถึงบ้านที่ไทยมากกก อร่อยมากๆเลยค่ะ ไว้ผ่านไปจะไปแวะทางอาหารนะคะ อร่อยๆจริงๆค่ะ“

“I don't know what kind of magic they got goin on in that kitchen, but their kalua pork is the best I've had. Even being to the islands multiple times and my husband being from there (who also agrees). I cannot recommend it enough! Friendly atmosphere and the island bangers playing on the stereo, really gives the restaurant the best vibe! Mahalo!“

“Menu is awesome, quick services and good food!“

“stumbled upon this place and it’s honestly a hidden gem. the broth is super clean but still has that deep beefy flavor without being too salty. i really like that there is no msg and they have gluten free options too, so it feels a lot healthier than other spots.
the beef was tender and they didn't skimp on the portions at all. noodles had a good chew and the herb plate they brought out was fresh and actually green, not wilted.
the owner is a gorgeous woman and the service is really good too. she makes you feel welcome and everything comes out fast. prices are totally fair for the bowl size. definitely a solid go-to spot if you're craving some comfort food“

“Whole in a wall Authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Not downtown Seattle kind of menus which u have to pay additional $ for extra meat ! 😂“

“So good! Food was served quickly & SO delicious. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Quick to clear our table of empty dishes. Highly recommend! We will be back very soon!“

“Best broth in the Rattle. Lemon grass chicken was perfect and the tea was great. No complaints. Cheap as chips“

“Try the Obama Noodle...it’s really good!“

“Beef Holy Basil! I am Thai, when I say this Thai food is good.... I mean it!“

“Best dumplings outside of china.“

“I'm totally hooked to this place to the point I come by almost once a week. The food is absolutely freaking delicious and not only the that the owner is sweet as the sauce glazing the spam Katsu Masubi! You can tell she loves what she does and the rest of the people working behind the scene to make this all happen! 5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“We visited the restaurant on a Wednesday afternoon, and it wasn’t very busy. The service was excellent, even though we kept changing our minds while ordering. The food came out fairly quickly. We ordered fish cakes as an appetizer, Pad Thai and crispy garlic fried chicken as our main dishes, and Thai tea for drinks. Everything was delicious. The staff were very friendly and thoughtfully packed up our leftover drinks to take home. We would definitely come back if we have the chance. 🥰“

“love this place! fresh and clean“

“Best place for lunch in Georgetown hands down“

“Creative, fresh, addictive and very cool hipster vibe. My favorite was the horchata boba. Can’t wait to come back and try all of the other flavors. They all look so pretty. Also saw that they have cool board games and places to chill. Will have to take my date here. #drinkboga. 🧋“

“Low key and authentic. Good spring rolls, pho, and rice dishes.“

“My office ordered here for a big to-go order on a cozy, rainy day, and they were so accommodating! An order for 7 people was ready in 20 minutes and packaged securely. We ordered Pho Tai and Pho Nam, grilled pork Bahn mi, a bunch of egg rolls, and the sweet and sour pho, which was amazing if you like to explore flavors, dont shy away from it! All of our food was great, there were no complaints from anyone. 10/10 for these guys, a true hidden gem in Tukwila, WA! Fair warning: their chili oil is no joke. I would buy jars of this stuff. Edit: this place is under new management so this review is no longer accurate“

“im vietnamese was craving viet rice dishes and been looking for a good viet restaurant. Found Pho My Chau 2; one of the most legit and best vietnamese places in fedway.“

“First visit here and I ordered regular spring rolls, wonton soup and a coke. No complaints, price is fair. As far as service goes, hospitality was there and I found them to be professional, courteous and friendly. The turn around was quick from walking in to completion of my order. The flavor of the foods are unique and i typically get similar dishes at comparable establishments to establish a base line of good, not good. This place is not only good, its flavor is unique to this establishment. Overall I was pleased with everything and look forward to a return visit to try the pad thai!“

“My absolute favorite! I have a slight obsession with bahn mi sandwiches and Pho Aroma has my favorite - perfect ratio of meat to bread to veggies. I also love their rice dishes and recently tried the crispy noodle stir fry which is my current obsession! The owners are also the absolute kindest people and it’s just a really cozy places to have a meal.“

“This feels like a hidden gem? The food and service were good. We had complimentary hot tea, hard to enjoy on a warm day but welcomed. I ordered the garlic eggplant, water boiled fish, and one of the lamb dish that had onions. Everything came out so delicious and as I expected from previous sichuanese restaurant experiences. The food is served family style on a large plate with one serving spoon. It can be difficult to eat the food with chopsticks as it gets oily real quick but they provide a spoon upon request. I would love to come back as often as possible if I were closer. It's also pretty affordable for the amount of food received.“

“Yummy original Thai noodle, Foods & Thai Milk Tea.“

“And great Vietnamese food.“

“My first time in and really didn’t have many expectations but was blown away by the friendly staff. Ordered papaya salad w/ tofu. Tofu came fried to perfection in my book. Requested some fish sauce, the server asked if I would prefer fish dressing, big smile on my face :). Ordered a (banh-mi) sandwich w/ tofu, tofu was a little soft for my liking but had great flavor and a overly fair amount of ingredients, two thumbs up 👍. I received a side of fish dressing I used some chilly paste in it, the other server asked if I would like to have the chilly oil… ohh man was I happy with that suggestion!! Loved it!! Would recommend for an authentic flavor and palates. Will return and try more. Super excited to have a very good pho place here at the beach!! Thanks for doing what y’all doing there!!“

“I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE!! i tried their pork buns and matcha sesame ball.

the pork was nicely tender and had a good flavor to it.

the matcha sesame ball was delicious and my fav. the dough was good amount of greasy. it's filled with black sesame filling which was u expecting considering it being matcha, so it didn't really give matcha. but i love it and would absolutely recommend it!“

“I was craaaaving congee with liver (lived in China for years and missing that taste of my second home!) and this was an absolutely wonderful meal. My sisters and I devoured our dishes and shared veggies. Such a familiar dish and so flavorful.“

“I recently stopped by Seattle Dumpling Co at Pike Street, and honestly this place turned out to be one of the hidden gems of the area. With so many food spots around Pike Place, it can be hard deciding where to eat, but I am glad we ended up here.

The first thing I noticed was how fresh everything tasted. The dumplings came out hot, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You could tell they were made with care and not just rushed out. Every bite had a good balance of flavor, and the texture was exactly what you want from good dumplings. The sauces paired really well with them too and added even more flavor without overpowering the food itself.

One thing that surprised me was the pricing. For being right around Pike Street and in such a busy tourist area, I honestly expected the prices to be much higher. Instead, it felt fair for the portion sizes and the quality of the food. That made the experience even better because it did not feel like one of those places charging extra just because of the location.

The atmosphere was simple but welcoming. It did not try too hard to be fancy, and honestly that worked in its favor. Sometimes the best food spots are the ones that focus more on the food than everything else around it. The staff was friendly, helpful, and kept things moving quickly even with people constantly coming in.

This is the kind of spot that you almost do not want too many people finding out about because it feels like a hidden gem in the middle of a busy area. It is easy to walk right past it without realizing how good the food actually is.

Overall, I had a really good experience here. Great food, fair prices, friendly service, and a good location made it worth the stop. I would definitely come back again the next time I am in Seattle and would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid meal around Pike Street.“

“Good place to eat, clean, and great looking menu“

“Great value for the price and very generous portions. We came a bit late and many dishes were already sold out, so I’d recommend going earlier. No dine-in, takeout only. Although the place looks a bit worn down, the food was delicious and very authentic.“

“A delightful and soothing place right at the intersection of the harbor steps and the Seattle waterfront, a lovely symbol of the ongoing revitalization of the waterfront region in downtown Seattle. There is a lot of great Chinese food in Seattle, but relatively little of it is directly downtown, so it was quite lovely to see this place that offers very savory and sumptuous fare for a very reasonable price by Seattle standards. I have a very close Chinese friend and if she ever comes to visit me, I will make sure to take her to this place. After entering the sophisticated yet not pretentious restaurant, I sat down and ordered a milk tea and some steamed pork dumplings, both of which were delightful. The milk tea was large and sweet, the perfect contrast to the dumplings. I am not sure I would call this place exceptional by the standards of Chinese restaurants, as it doesn't really have a special flair to it, but it is solid and reliable and located in a promising place here in downtown Seattle. There is very little to complain about, aside maybe from how I felt like the staff were rushing me a little while I was eating. These are minor nitpicks, and I would absolutely go here again if I am in the area and feel a desire for some delicious dumplings. The harbor steps region feels so elegant and picturesque, a true testament to Seattle's effort to revitalize public space, and this is one of many very delicious restaurants that have taken advantage of that newly revitalized space.“

“Always good service, very friendly. Food is hot and tasty. It’s a treat to eat here.“

“What a wonderful spot and a perfect stop after visiting Kubota Garden. The dining room was clean and spacious, and the service prompt and friendly. The bun bo hue was delicious and a welcome change from the salt bomb broths I’ve become accustomed to from Vietnamese noodle soups in Seattle. The flavors were nuanced and not too heavy or salty. I especially enjoyed the tender pork knuckle and the (homemade?) small meatballs flecked with what tasted and appeared to be makrut lime leaves. An easy place for kids - my 5 year old slurped up his plain pho.“

“This is hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Renton. The food is consistently delicious — every bowl, every plate, every time. Whether it’s pho, vermicelli, rice dishes, or their house specialties, everything tastes fresh and full of flavor. You can really tell they care about quality and keeping the recipes authentic.

One thing to know: this place gets busy. If you want a smooth experience with no wait, go early or aim for off-peak hours. It’s popular for a reason, and once the rush hits, the line can get long.

Parking is another plus — free and easy, which is rare these days and makes the visit stress-free.

Overall, if you’re craving comforting, reliable, and genuinely tasty Vietnamese food, this restaurant never disappoints. It’s always a satisfying meal and one of the spots I keep coming back to.“

“The best teriyaki in town and the customer service is amazing“

“I have been coming to Pho T&L 1/wk for almost two months now. Never fails that they are packed. Even at 12 am!!

The pho is very delicious, and I never need to put extra sauce in there. The sate is very flavorful. Little goes a long way.

Highly recommend this place for your late night cravings.“

“Great food and the best service .“
