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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I visited this sandwich shop and really enjoyed it. The sandwiches were fresh, tasty, and made with good-quality ingredients. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was casual and clean. It’s a great place for a quick and satisfying meal. I would definitely come back again.“

“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!“

“Amazing food and an amazing owner!
I ordered #7 this time and thought it would be the same as the #5 I had on my previous visit. When I asked the owner about it, he kindly explained the difference. To my surprise, he even gave us an extra bowl of beef, which was such a thoughtful gesture.

The food was delicious, and the owner was incredibly kind and generous. Great service, great food, and a wonderful dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“the waitstaff is very nice and my to go orders are always prepared pretty quickly. i also love the decor in this place and it’s a super chill place to hang out with my friends. the prices are pretty decent for seattle. i like the lychee smoothie, banh mi, and vietnamese coffee here.“

“Came to this place after a long day of traveling for some takeout. We walked in and immediately noticed the cozy and welcoming atmosphere. My boyfriend and I were the only two in the restaurant and the staff greeted us very kindly right away. The owner (I assume from reading other reviews) brought out our food and greeted us so kindly, she treated us like family, called us both by name and before leaving she prayed over us. It was such a genuine and beautiful gesture that I was not expecting. She packed up our food and hugged us both goodbye. The food was great and exactly what we needed after a long day. We are just visitors here but through that short interaction and tasty food it made us feel like it was home. Thank you Rose Pho, we will absolutely be coming back on our next visit!“

“I am a huge pho connoisseur and been to many spots around the great Seattle area (mostly south in federal way, Kent, Renton) and this is my new favorite spot. Service is always great, clean and modern interior, and the pho is 🔥🔥. Price is fair compared to other spots, and if you come with friends and family they have a variety of other options like phad thai and teriyaki. Highly recommend if you are in the kent-east hill area!!

To those bigger eaters like me (I go all out on pho) the large bowl is definitely a Large bowl with ample portions of everything: more noodles, meat, and soup. And again the service is always amazing and kitchen staff are always on point with timing and quality.“

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

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

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

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

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

“Went here for the first time a couple days ago and it won’t be my last!! I only got a couple Banh Mis and some spring rolls, but they had so many other yummy foods that I want to try. The best part is that the prices are SO affordable, please go try it out for yourself!“

“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“

“My favorite pho spot so far. I love that there are vegetables in the soup base in addition to the veggies you can add on your own. Staff is friendly. I would try the steak pho either Korean noodles or glass noodles, both are good. I love extra bean sprouts, jalapeños,and spicy chilli sauce! Expect to pay $15-20 per person“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“And great Vietnamese food.“

“Best place for lunch in Georgetown hands down“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“5 star for the grilled pork Vietnamese sandwich. The meat was tender & perfectly marinated. They used Vietnamese bo (aoli) instead of mayonnaise. Veggies were fresh & bread was toasted.
I will come here for my Vietnamese sandwiches if I don’t have time to wait at Q bakery.“

“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.“

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

“Went to Thein Phat on Rainer ave south for the second time and wasn't disappointed at all.

The pho broth was very good and the spring rolls were just right.

When you have the chance please go and support this local restaurant which is run by a mom and daughter team.“

“Had an amazing experience at Renton Bistro! I came specifically to try their Vietnamese food and ordered the grilled pork chop with broken rice (cơm tấm đặc biệt), and it did not disappoint.

The pork chop was perfectly grilled—juicy, flavorful, and slightly smoky with that authentic Vietnamese taste. The broken rice was soft and paired so well with the pickled veggies, fresh garnishes, and fish sauce. Every bite felt balanced and comforting, just like a true Vietnamese home-style meal.

Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe was clean and welcoming. If you’re craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine, Renton Bistro is definitely worth a visit. I’ll absolutely be back to try more dishes!“

“I live close to here and come here often. Everything I’ve ever had has been really good to great. The calamari is fantastic. Dont expect them to wait on you hand and foot. They give you the menu take you oder after a few minutes and will fill your water if they see its low. They are not gonna ask you if everything is good every 5 minutes. Great place to come eat in a very chill environment“

“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!“

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

“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 😒“

“The peaceful atmosphere here combined with delicious food makes the meal memorable.“

“Delicious food and friendly service“

“Yummy but overpriced. Asked for a 12oz plain black iced coffee and was given a coffee with loads of room and so much foam. Not even like a cold foam just lots of bubbles. The foam was literally like an 1” which was annoying since I asked for only black and no room and it $5. I’ve had iced Vietnamese coffee before and never had so much foam in it.
$5 for a 12oz coffee and to not be given 12oz was a bummer“

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

“This is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Seattle! They also have wonderful coffee. They are fast, the restaurant is always clean, and the food is great. I have posted a copy of the menu as the prices are excellent for the middle of the city.“

“Vietnam House is one of those places that feels like a weekend family gathering — no frills, just the comfort of well-executed classics. Their specialty is Cơm Tấm (broken rice), and the menu gives you plenty of ways to experience it.

The go-to order is the Cơm Tấm Sườn Nướng ($11.99) — tender grilled pork chop over fluffy broken rice, simple and satisfying. For something richer, the Cơm Tấm Sườn Bì Chả ($13.25) adds shredded pork and steamed egg for a full trio of textures. If you’re hungry, the Cơm Tấm Đặc Biệt ($14.99) stacks pork chop, shrimp cake, egg, and meatloaf — a full Vietnamese sampler on one plate.

What makes this spot stand out is the portion size and value. Plates run $12–15, come loaded with rice, pickles, and sides, and leave you more than full.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Come here for hearty broken rice combos when you’re craving comfort food without any pretense. It’s not fancy, but it’s exactly what you want from a neighborhood Vietnamese joint.“
