“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.“

“Bambu in Edmonds is an absolute gem and easily one of the best spots for authentic Vietnamese chè and Asian-inspired desserts north of Seattle. Everything here is made with incredible care and the freshest ingredients—fresh young coconuts cracked daily for that perfect coconut meat and water, house-made pandan jelly, and real fruit in every drink.
The Bambu Special is perfection: a delightful mix of pandan jelly, longan, basil seeds, red tapioca, and coconut that’s refreshing, textured, and not overly sweet (customize your sugar level—I love it at 50%). The Fruit Addict is bursting with fresh fruits, and their smoothies (like taro or avocado) are thick, creamy, and made with real ingredients—no powders here.
Don’t sleep on the pandan waffles—they’re the standout, crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, with that fragrant pandan flavor shining through. Hands down the best I’ve had at any Bambu location. The Vietnamese iced coffee is bold, smooth, and brewed the traditional way.
Service is always warm, friendly, and knowledgeable—staff happily explain the menu, offer samples, and make recommendations. The place is clean, vibrant, and welcoming, with generous portions at fair prices ($6-10 for most items). So many options are gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan-friendly too.
Right now, they’re running an exciting Labubu contest drawing with the winner announced at the end of January/early February—stop by for details on how to enter!
This is my go-to for unique, refreshing desserts that go way beyond typical boba shops. Bambu Edmonds never disappoints—pure bliss in every visit!“

“This place is PHENOMENAL. I go here a few times a month. They open at 9:30am sharp so it is very convenient for when I want pho for breakfast and all the other restaurants open at 11am. They have the fastest service I’ve ever experienced. You walk in, choose where you want to sit, and order right off the menu that is already on the table. Once you order, the food is out within a minute or 2. The menu small only offering pho and spring rolls or egg rolls but a variety of tea/drinks. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick bite and a chill environment.“

“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!“

“Hands down, the best pho you’ll find in Seattle! This place is killing it! I’m incredibly lucky to live in the neighborhood and I’ve been coming here since the day they opened. We were one of their first guests in those early days and eat here so much the owners know me by name! If I were qualified to give food awards, this place would win my 2024 Best of Seattle award! 🥇👏🏻✨ Ps. They do not accept reservations - it’s first come first serve. Around 6pm, they go on a waitlist and a line starts to form outside. Don’t bother calling to get on the waitlist - they won’t even do that for me! You have to show up in person to get on the list.“

“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.“

“Pho Vietnam deserves to be a contender for one of the best pho cafes in North Seattle. After spending the entirety of my life eating pho around the greater Seattle area; this is the most consistent, no-nonsense, soul-affirming bowl of soup I've found, by a large margin.
The nuoc cham that arrives with their egg rolls is made in house with pepper flake and grated carrot. They do not add corn syrup. It should also be noted, the carrot is an extremely well thought out way to balance the fishy-acidic sauce.
Their chili paste at the table is also house made with what seems to be palm sugar. It is delicious. Use one of the small sauce dishes they provide table side and pair it with their hoisin.“

“I absolutely love this place! Total hole-in-the-wall (as the best places are) and incredible food. Family-owned! They have online ordering for pickup or delivery, AND btw if you’re vegetarian, they have a vegetarian broth for their pho so 💯 just saying. Pictured here are the 5-spice chicken banh mi, cole slaw salad, and some home-brewed Thai iced tea 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 Also, I normally get grandma le’s egg rolls and oh my god 🤤 highly recommended!“

“The bun bo hue was THE BEST I ever had. The broth was complex and flavorful. The noodles was the right level of softness but not falling apart. Meat was tender and so much variety of different cuts. I will definitely come back for more. I didn't have pictures because I was too busy enjoying it!“

“We regularly visit this spot for a pho lunch or dinner :) The owner is always very friendly and kind. The pho is very tasty. If you’re in the mood for extra veggies, try the “vegetarian pho” (which includes broccoli, cauliflower, carrots) & add meat for a couple bucks extra! Great value, taste, service & hospitality.“

“If you're looking for a delightful Vietnamese dining experience, this restaurant is a must-visit. The flavors here are incredibly authentic and satisfying. • Macaroni with Beef: The macaroni with beef is a standout dish. The beef is tender and well-seasoned, complementing the perfectly cooked macaroni. Every bite is a burst of flavor that leaves you craving more. • Fried Rice: Their fried rice offerings are exceptional, with the salty fish fried rice being a particular highlight. The rice is cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of seasoning and a generous portion of salty fish that adds a unique and delicious twist. Overall, the restaurant provides a wonderful blend of traditional Vietnamese flavors that are sure to please your palate. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Vietnamese cuisine or is looking to try something new and delicious!“

“Oh my god! Where has this place been all this time?! Amazing food, huge portions, and great prices. On top of that, they don’t ask for tips, which I really appreciate. It instantly became one of my favorite spots in Seattle. I ordered twice in the same day! Thanks so much for the hard work.“

“I’m a bit of a pho snob (shout out to SF’s Kevin’s Noodle House #2 - iykyk) and this is hands down the best pho I had had in Seattle. Broth was robust. Noodles were the best consistency. Extras were fresh. And the staff was incredibly welcoming. I made the mistake of going to A Nam Pho on 35th. Never again!! You can feel the care that goes into a plate of food here. 10/10 recommend.“

“Solid choice of authentic Vietnamese food. The crepe is delicious and big portioned. The bun mam noodle soup is very well flavored. The grilled shrimp is excellent.
The parking lot is very small. There ia another one downstairs that you can park from the back of the building, then work upstairs to the restaurant.“

“I can’t believe I’m only discovering this place now in Lynnwood!
The food doesn’t come out super fast like some other spots, but once it arrives, you immediately understand why everything is made with real care and intention.
Every dish we tried was delicious. You can really taste the quality and thought put into the food. Nothing felt rushed or sloppy.
We actually ended up here by accident because our usual pho place was closed for construction, and honestly… what a lucky find. This place is now a new favorite. Definitely worth the wait, and I’ll 100% be coming back.“

“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.“

“I think Monkey Bridge has the best broth in Ballard it has all the right flavors…I like all the other offering that I’ve tried as well but will keep going back for the pho!!! I also really like the wonton soup. Don’t forget they have awesome bahn mi as well!!!“

“Authentic Pho, and one of the best Banh Mi sandwiches in the city, rivaling Yeh Yeh's for first place. You can see immediately that the family operating this restaurant deeply care about the quality of their cuisine, maintaining tradition, and welcoming their neighborhood to share it.
I have nothing but praise!
Located in a relatively quiet plaza behind Washington Burrito; absolutely worth regular visits.“

“Great pho and fresh spring rolls! I ordered takeout and I appreciate that the broth was kept separate from the other ingredients and that the thin-sliced beef was still raw so it could be properly cooked in the broth itself. The broth has lots of flavor!“
“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I come here for the consistently great bánh mì. While I've mostly ordered sandwiches, I've tried their beef short rib and their pho, and I enjoyed both. This isn't my favorite place for phở, but it's still good, and the báhn mì absolutely steal the site by virtue of their own.
Don't miss this little hole in the wall!“

“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!“

“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.“
