16 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Issaquah

“I’ve been here quite a few times and usually go with the Jenny Pho Special or one of the vermicelli bowls. The portions are always generous, and the service has been really attentive every time I’ve gone. I really like the flavor of the pho broth, and the beef is always good quality.

I also like that you can make substitutions in the vermicelli bowls. I usually switch a few things around, and the staff has always been really accommodating. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I’m in the mood for pho or vermicelli.“

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

“High quality food that is priced very reasonably for what you get! I love their Viet coffee that was made fresh right in font of me. But what really earned that fifth star is the friendly staff that were super engaging and personable. A level that I find rare around here.“

“We come here often and we’re never disappointed by any of the pho’s. My favorite is the beef stew pho. The beef broth is super flavorful and its just rich enough. It’s packed with very generous amounts of beef, cooked to perfection. Love it!“

“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 found my go-to pho spot within 5 miles of my home !! Such a delicious broth and hearty serving sizes, more than dozen large pieces of tender beef with an aldente cooked pho, unlike so many other neighborhood Vietnamese restaurants that stingily give a few pieces of meat in a big bowl of over cooked noodles. The Garlic beef was just as tasty and sizable in portion, this little resturant is definitely going tobe among my weekly visit spots from now on. With several big TV screens hung on walla, we can even come here to eat while watching a sports game on TV !!“

“Banh Mi with pork is excellent. The vermicelli was actually pretty good but there was some floral scent in the veggies. It overpowered the taste. Otherwise nice decor and spacious seating. Multiple choice of sauces is nice.

Update
Returned after many years. Came back because I’d heard it changed to a Chipotle like service. That is absolutely not the case. It’s pretty much the same as before except you order at a kiosk and the food is prepped in to go containers. It’s basically switched from a sit down service restaurant to a self serve one. The food was overall ok. While the flavors were nice the meat was overcooked and the veggies had an odd flowery smell. The veggies were fresh though and the pho broth was good. I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here and the prices were a bit high. $15 for banh mi? That seems a high. It wasn’t busy but the food took a while.“

“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.“

“Very good restaurant. I've been coming here for years comma more than a decade. This place is really
Good if you're trying to get a quick PHO in the cold weather period when server says, thank you very much, see you, bye bye, every time you pay. It sets the mood for the rest of the day, let me tell you. Very good restaurant!“
