50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Burien

“❤ Love this place, the food is beautiful and fresh and delicious, they are very careful and kind and conscientious about dietary needs, and the atmosphere in this lovely clean restaurant is cool and inviting and comfortable. Great service and staff, thank you for wonderful food and the Thai iced tea was delicious!“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming for over 10 years, I started bringing my wife for over 5 years now and it’s her favorite teriyaki spot! This place delivers every time! Not a single miss for us, the best teriyaki we’ve ever tried. I’d send a picture of my plate but it’s clean and finished now 😋“

“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.“

“Descent atmosphere, just a bit sketchy with owner/services if you speak the language they are treated very differently than other cultures. Services are fresh, depending who served you. I notice the ladies treat their culture better than others. Only if you are acquainted with them, if you been with them before.“

“I just discovered this place this month and have already been back a second time. Excellent sandwiches, and quite affordable for West Seattle ($10 per sandwich with no additions). So far I've tried the pork, grilled chicken, and meat loaf bahn mi. All great. Will return!“

“10/9/2021 Recommend? Yes. I arrived right after they open with my luggage because I was starving from my long train ride in from Whitefish, MT. The server was super nice. He got me hot tea and banh cam to settle in with. I ordered bo bia (autumn rolls), vegan pho, and roasted pork banh mi (to go). The banh cam had a thick dough and it was huge. Two of those could've been a whole meal. Everything I ordered was delicious and they were so kind! My favorite was definitely the banh mi. It was even good after I had refridgerated it. The best part was the vegan butter and vegan pate. I absolutely loved it, best vegan banh mi I've had.“

“We stumbled upon this little Cafe while waiting for a train to come in. we had the Bánh mi drip! Absolutly amazing,so much flavor!!! the broth to dip in was so yummy! I'd drive the 4 hrs to eat here again!“

“First time at this place today. Gentleman server was very nice. Pho had wonderful flavor and portion. Quiet atmosphere. Some ideas that would make it even better would be a big glass of ice water next to the hot tea, the option of wood chopsticks and extra napkins on the tables, otherwise i would say its perfect. I really appreciated the hand sanitizer on the table.“

“The way pho restaurants are meant to be. Older interior with older women serving. Knows your order. Great price compared to a few blocks west.

Please dont retire. Keep it open!! Don't pass on to next generation. 2nd gen is never the same.

Great Chrstian owners 🙏 ✝“

“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.“

“friendly staff, great coffee. Will definitely be back for more.“

“A pho place with pool tables and a bar, or is it a bar with pool tables that serves pho? Either way, while the King county public health poster deems this place as only ok, I think it was great! Pho was great! Service was done with a smile. I asked for extra meat in my large pho but I don't think they put it in, but oh well. Still good noms.“

“We have come here for many years. It been awhile since we came back. We like their new menu looks like it been recently updated. We ordered our usual of: -Vietnamese Sweet & Sour Catfish Soup -Catfish in Clay Pot/Stew -Rice Today we also tried: -Crispy Oysters -Salted Fish Fried Rice -Three Color Dessert -Thai Dessert It wasn't too busy today, we got a table right away for a family of our. The servers were nice and friendly. Our desserts were bought out first, and soon after the main dishes. Our usual dishes is the tasty as usual. Our favorite as a family is the fried oysters. Our young kids liked it best with the sweet sauce (not spicy). The sizing of the oysters are large and it tasted excellent. Overall, it was a wonderful dining night with the whole family. We will be back as usual! We highly recommend this place! They got some of the dishes we love that keeps us coming back for more!“

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

“The best Pho place in Kent WA and the Seattle WA area. The food is amazing. Other places that I have been have been mediocre. I have been to at least 6 places in the Kent Seattle area.“

“I don't claim to be a banh mi connoisseur, but this was the best banh mi I have ever had. Totally not expected from a little stall in a grocery food court.
I've also had their shrimp fresh rolls and fried fish balls before as well which were also tasty. I'll have to try the pho next.“

“Delicious brisket pho for lunch today! Server was nice and service was great!“

“Absolutely Delicious!!! Very friendly service!“

“Stopped by for a casual Vietnamese meal, and everything hit the spot.
What We Ordered:
Beef Pho: Generous portions of steaming hot broth with tender cuts of beef, fresh onions, and cilantro. The broth was aromatic, savory, and perfectly seasoned.
Fresh Herb Plate: Plentiful fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, sliced jalapenos, and a lime wedge to customize the soup's flavor and added crunch.
Fresh Spring Rolls (Gỏi Cuốn): Neatly wrapped spring rolls featuring crisp lettuce, rice paper, and cured meat/sausage. Served with a delicious, savory peanut dipping sauce that paired perfectly.
Great comfort food, fresh ingredients, and satisfying portions. Highly recommended if you're craving authentic pho and fresh appetizers!“

“Best pho and Vietnamese food I’ve ever had! Super fun place with amazing food. Stopped in and was seated immediately. Every item we tried was outstanding. It’s rare to find a gem that has great service, food, and atmosphere and these people have it figured out. Also, met the owner and she talked to us about how these are her recipes. It just tastes like home cooking and not actual plug and play restaurant food. We’re lifers at this place now! I mean it’s so good we went back the next day.“

“I visited for the first time this evening, and I got the pho brisket. I was really happy with how the broth flavor was as well as the portion and temperature of the food.

I live pretty close by so I look forward to visiting this place again soon.“

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

“Good foods. Will be back if I’m in town“

“Best place for lunch in Georgetown hands down“

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

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

“One of the best kept secrets in Seattle. Amazing food at good prices aren’t easy to find. This place nails it. And it’s always a happy experience going in!
Everything is so fresh, flavorful and ample. The sandos are obviously the crown jewel, but don’t forget the veg, rolls and shrimp on sugar cane. Can’t really mess up at Tan Dinh.“

“Edit: Makes sense! I appreciate the response!

Tried the Jackfruit Latte & the Iced Coco Phin Latte. Jackfruit latte was good and I enjoyed the fun flavor. Iced Coco Phin latte was just okay.

The interaction with the employee was odd. I just wanted extra ice, which I often request at cafes with no issue. They explained I ordered an 8 oz Jackfruit latte which is why it looks like “less”, which I replied respectfully that I know, I just like extra ice lol. She again told me what I ordered (I KNOW I ordered 8 oz, I get it; I wasn’t asking for more coffee) and she pointed out where the drink stopped at 8 oz line and looked at me like I had three heads. She put 3 pieces of ice, stared at me, and then finally put more. I said thank you but I don’t think she said anything back. Let a girl have some ice in the summer, dang 😅“

“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!“

“We found this gem in a strip mall. Excellent food!!! We arrived for lunch and Grace was kind enough to explain the menu and show us sizes of the pho. We had the shrimp pho, Grace showed me where to get the accompanying garnishes for the soup, everything was so fresh! Food was brought to us and Grace bussed the table. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and would recommend.“

“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“

“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.“

“And great Vietnamese food.“

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

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in all of King County.

I have been coming here pretty regularly with my family, friends, partner, for years and the quality is always exceptional.

The pho broth is rich and comforting. While I got steak pho this time, I highly recommend trying their veggie pho (it also comes with beef broth). It has mushrooms, beans, and soft sweet carrots.

While it is speedy, it is worth it. The interior has not changed one bit and it is nice to be in a literal home-style restaurant. Sitting in the back room with friends gossiping with the company of the large old jade plant in the window.

If you enjoy the richness of the broth order Nuoc Beo on the side. It is the fat skimmed off the top of the broth. It has plenty of green onions, and will make you sink deeper into the butteriness of the dish.“

“I had the beef teriyaki and my husband had kaee Mao dinner soo delicious! Very kind people who are invested in your experience and making sure you enjoy the food they put their heart into. If you enjoy this type of food at all, this is a must to try!“

“We've had a number of meals here now and, Saigon Gardens has been a model consistency. The plate dishes have been very good, and their Pho-Tai has been exceptional. Not sure why some reviews complain about a flavorless broth.

Now the real test will be how good will their food be 18months from now. Common habit for some south Seattle Vietnamese restaurants is the food quality drops off about a year or two of operation.

But, so far so good!“

“Food was great and service was amazing. We ordered two family style entrees and the portions were large. My husband and I took the rest home. Good place to go if you're craving Vietnamese food that isn't pho but I think they have that too!“

“I loved this small place on Beacon Hill. I was visiting from Detroit and saw it as I walked from the train to where I was staying. I went in an hour before they opened without realizing it, and the friendly owner invited me to come back at lunchtime. I'm glad I did. The owner greeted me again warmly. I had veggie pho with tofu and a Vietnamese coffee, both absolutely delicious. The servers were friendly as well. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Not much atmosphere, but very friendly, satisfying food, and reasonable price. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely go back.“

“Delicious food and friendly service“

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

“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.“

“Great with allergies. Very good service and reasonable prices!“

“Alway love banh beo chén , bánh xèo , canh chua cá kh to , many many good food here“

“Authentic Pho. Pickled onion or bowl of lard and green knionsnavailable on request. Also has Specialty cuts like crunchy and fatty brisket if you want. Unfortunately, it may be permanently closed. Went there middle of day on a Saturday and was not open 😒“

“Delicious pho. Extra noodles is $2.50, but I think it's a waste of money - I ordered a large bowl with extra noodles and the noodle serving definitely wasn't much.

I think if you already have a large bowl, they don't add extra noodles even if you ask and pay for the extra charge. That was really lame, and I feel scammed. but the food is good enough to be 4/5 anyway.“

“I had one of the best bowls of pho I’ve ever had last night.

I went with the classic, rare beef pho, and it was fantastic. The broth was really rich, the toppings were fresh, and I was so happy we went.

The staff were also really friendly, and the food came out very quickly.

Can’t wait to go back!“

“I've passed this restaurant on the way to work every day for MONTHS, telling myself I'm going to stop by one day. That day was today and I could not be more pleased. Definitely recommend the chicken of course, the mandu (fried dumplings), and the spring rolls. For drinks definitely try the Honey Citron Tea; AH-mazing! I was so upset for not coming in sooner but I will definitely be back. Customer service was top tier!“
