18 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Issaquah

“I’ve been going here since I was around 7 and have seen it go through so many different managements to build it up to what it is today and it’s so impressive! From plastic, white chairs and tables under harsh white lights to a comforting environment with fish tanks and water as well as booth seating. The food never disappoints (i’m a regular), the employees are very attentive and polite, and the wait for food is never long even on really busy days. I wanted to write this review to thank the restaurant for all the great years of dining!!“

“We have been customers for over a decade. Always odering the same thing: steak and meatball pho, extra meatballs, 2 orders of eggrolls, and a side of leaf lettuce. One of our favorite Pho restaurants. Service is quick and the food is delicious! Today, we were seated at the same table 7 years ago. I was still pregnant then. We also dined here with my infant daughter when she was still in her car seat carrier/basket. My parents from the Philippines also dined here when they visited us. This place holds a lot of memories for us. Will be back again and again.“

“Ate dinner with friends and our families. The food was delicious and came quickly. Tried new plates and drinks based on their recommendations. We will definitely be back.“

“Love the food here, service is great and easy modify foods“

“The best Vietnamese food ever. It is so authentic. You have to check this place out.“

“We ordered beef pho and bun. Both were well made and flavorful. The pho was a little on the salty side but otherwise tasty. The presentation of the food was excellent. They have a very large menu so I hope to return to try a few more things. Service was fast and friendly. Interior get a bit dated but otherwise clean.“

“The atmosphere is great, they’re very courteous as you walk in the door. Big Ben, is what I call. The owner, absolutely amazing person and the oxtail is outstanding! Two thumbs up.“

“Food is always fresh and cooked perfectly. Owners are very friendly, especially with kids. Prices are very reasonable and portions are huge. We keep coming over and over, and they deliver consistently.“

“When in Rome as they say.. if you come here for some Pho you picked the right place. Nice quiet decent service, even give you good amount of pho. However, Thai food was not so great. So stick with Pho everyone, otherwise you might be disappointed.“

“Just pulled up to Pho Rolls and got myself a classic pho - bro, it felt like coming home after a long-ass day. The broth? Rich as hell, deep flavor, like it’s been simmering for hours. Noodles are on point, not mushy, and the meat? Tender, juicy, and they don’t hold back with the portions.“

“Are you into great food, clean ambience, and dare to take on their spicy sauce? The humble and friendly owners of Pho In & Out suggested I try their 'nuclear sauce', which elevated the pho experience. If you think you can handle spicy food... think again. The pho is clean, made with care and hits the spot. Keep small business and the Maple Valley community thriving by dining locally. Also, grab a Viet sandwich to go 😀“

“My favorite phoody place in Seattle/Renton area, super friendly staff, amazing food & clean“

“In search of warm comfort food after the storm, we went to Papaya. Fortunately they were open and had very delicious food. Many Sammamish and Issaquah residents visited with the same purpose.

Ordered the beef short rib pho, beef luc lac, and shrimp spring rolls. Everything was very good. The luc lac was very comforting and to me, a fusion - fries, gravy, fried egg, rice, very succulent tender beef. Yum!“

“Love this place and these people! The food is always amazing, great flavor, generous portions. Take out is just as good as dine in. Support this great business!!“

“I recently tried Papaya Vietnamese Cuisine and I was impressed by the freshness of their ingredients! One standout dish was the Grilled Coconut Chicken on Rice- the chicken was perfectly cooked, tender, and had a delicious creamy coconut flavor. The accompanying vinegar sauce paired wonderfully with the sticky rice, adding a nice tangy contrast.

I also ordered their Iced Coffee, which was rich, sweet, and almost dessert-like—ideal for a hot day. I actually got it for a picnic, and it was the perfect refreshing treat!

Overall, a great spot for authentic Vietnamese flavors with fresh, well-prepared dishes.“

“I have ordered take out from here several times. I typically order the steak pho. The pho has good flavor and clean broth. This is not my favorite pho place but the flavor on the steak pho is good enough that I give it a four star. I wish they offered a large size pho, but the regular pho is already pricey, so who knows how much they would charge for a large pho.“

“I was in the area craving bahn mi, this was the only place that had it so we came here. My fiance ordered the mongolian beef and we were pleasantly surprised by a gorgeous and huge plate that included a lovely salad too. We also got eggrolls and everything was delicious. Staff was also very kind, i even saw one move to hold the door unpromted when they saw a wheelchair user heading out. Everything was reasonably priced as well. Overall a great find, so glad we came!“

“The best pho broth in the east side. Balanced and flavorful. I could sip it everyday. Have been coming here for years. Used to dine in for pho once a week in “before COVID” times with my now fiancé.

I like to get #45 the brisket, fatty flank and tendon. The tendon is really good and melts in your mouth. Docked a star because the pho meat portions seem to have gotten smaller since the pandemic started.“
