50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Kenmore

“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.“

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“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.“

“The food is so delicious 🫰I love it.If you come to seattle you must try it .“

“awesome food and great,very friendly service!“

“Love all of their food! They have a variety of different options for lunch and dinner. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Great, deliciuos tasting, very affortable, authentic food to eat in or take out with friendly welcoming staff. Definitely on my favorite restaurant list close to my home.“

“Shattuck and Tristan were great!“

“This place is amazing with good food and drink. and live music every Saturday 🎶 owner and his team are super nice 😊“

“A friend recommended this place. Went to try it cause I love banh mis. This family is warm & inviting. Better than YeYes or Seattle Deli hands down.“

“This was my first pho experience that I absolutely loved. Never been a fan of the noodles in lots of soup. But as a sick child I needed the hot soup. The spicy beef broth and the Crispy vegan roll were both out of this world. And I am quite the picky eater. I tried it with Chicken this time given I was not feeling well. I gotsto come back for the steak and the brisket.“

“A very interesting blend of flavors. Ive tried about 1/4th of the menu now, and theres a lot of things ive had here ive never seen or tasted anywhere else.

I honestly couldnt define the genre here, other than to say its a fusion of American and Asian items, in the most delicious of ways.“

“Best Pho in Cap Hill! You can taste the love in the broth. Have been going to this place for years since it was a cross the street. So excited that they re-opened in this new space. The atmosphere is great and always wonderful service run by the family.
You must try the pork fresh rolls, they are incredible! Relativity inexpensive prices for Seattle. Can't speak highly enough about this place!“

“Best Vietnamese food OB the Eastside“

“Pho is excellent, comparable to the Than Brothers.
We’ve been going here for over 10 years, and it is easily our favorite Pho place in the Seattle area. Everything is delicious! The spicy chicken wings, the spring rolls, the pho. Everything we have ever tried has been amazing.“

“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 visited Aroom with our family and absolutely loved the experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the coffee is excellent, and the interior is very stylish and thoughtfully designed.

The service truly stands out attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming, which makes you want to come back again. A special thank you to the team: our little son accidentally spilled his hot coffee, and they immediately made a new one for him. That level of care really touched us.

Wishing you great success and continued growth in your business. We will definitely be coming back - Aroom has become one of our favorite coffee shops.“

“Hidden Gem with the Best Phở in Seattle**

Phở Vietnam is the definition of a hole-in-the-wall treasure. Tucked away in Ballard, this unassuming little spot delivers *some of the most soul-warming phở you’ll find anywhere in Seattle*. The broth is rich, clear, and deeply flavorful—the kind that’s clearly been simmering for hours, maybe days. It’s comfort in a bowl.

The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the service is always quick and kind. It’s the kind of place where locals become regulars, and one visit is all it takes to understand why.

No frills, no gimmicks—just pure, perfect phở that hits the spot every single time. If you're a fan of Vietnamese cuisine (or just really, really good soup), this place is not to be missed.

“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.“

“service was excellent. food was superior. highly recommend“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Ramie is Vietnamese cuisine, reimagined.

Not your typical pho, bánh mì, or vermicelli stop — this is heritage transformed into art. Chefs Trinh & Thai Nguyen spin tradition into something new: small plates with big personality, seasonal ingredients, and artistic plating that feels like storytelling on a plate.

✨ Atmosphere & Vibe
Modern yet intimate. Capitol Hill energy with warmth: chic décor, cozy lighting, curated cocktails, and plating that feels like fine art. Small enough to feel personal, upscale enough to feel special.

🍴 Food & Menu

Not a huge menu, but curated for different palates.

🌿 Vegetarian options are clearly available.

Bold flavors, innovative twists — this is Vietnamese food through a creative, elevated lens.

Happy Hour (5–8 PM) = oysters, bánh tiêu hollow bread, pickles, seasonal bites.

👨‍👩‍👧 Kid-Friendly? Best for adventurous eaters and teens. Small plates and creative plating may not hit with very young kids, but the vibe is welcoming.

♿ Wheelchair Accessibility Accessible entrance + seating, attentive staff.

🚗 Parking Capitol Hill = limited street parking. Paid lots or rideshare recommended.

✨ Insider Tip
Book a reservation. The menu is evolving, so try a new plate each visit — and don’t miss the cocktails, which are as refined as the food.

Ramie isn’t just dining — it’s Vietnamese culture redefined for Seattle’s future. A must-visit for anyone who wants to taste heritage with a modern edge.

“His first time with Pho, his first time with chopsticks, highly recommend 👍“

“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.“

“Just had the BBQ pork belly . Everything fresh and quality of the sandwich is outstanding, served with smiles. Lovely spot for delicious Banh mi (baguette with choice of meat and toppings) for a meal. Plus they have delicious Butterfly sunset tea,Black milk tea, Thai tea and fresh smoothies … All my favorite“

“Good banh mi

Bread and quality of meat were both good. My only complaint was that there's too much meat, but most people probably like that.
It's got a typical low-key Asian restaurant atmosphere. In other words, it's not polished nor pretty. But the food is good.

The coffee was good, though a bit heavy on the condensed milk.
There's free jasmine tea and chili oil set out.“

“Good Food and the attention is great“

“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!!!“

“I come here for all the Vege/Pesca options! But, more than that, I come for the service! The owner (I think she is the owner) is the nicest person! Always ready for a quick chat. She really cares about the community, too! Thankful to have some good veggie options for a good price and always super tasty!“

“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.“

“pretty good food and first experience“

“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!“

“As soon as you walk into the place you can smell the food quality and you just KNOW it’s going to hit. Phó was delicious - perfect textured noodles and flavorful broth. Service was vague and to the point, nothing special. But, the food was the main purpose so no complaints“

“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!“

“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!“

“we made an online order yesterday for pork, beef and meatball sandwiches plus 5 teas/smoothies. order was ready super fast and we had a great meal. the drinks are so refreshing in this beautiful sunny weather! service is always great here. they wear masks and gloves.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Such a fun place to grab a craft cocktail and some pho. The drinks were very unique and the pho was surprisingly very good. We also tried the Tofu Dip and the spring rolls. The dip was delicious but very rich and the spring rolls were very fresh. We definitely ordered too much food but it was delicious and a fun experience.“

“Pretty simple interior with specific kitchen smell but great soup pho in a large bowl (even small one) for good price and with fast serving. Ordered small seafood pho and 2 pork/shrimp spring rolls for only $30. Unfortunately, there was no hot tea which I prefer eith any Asian food. But hot soup worked too. Great place for hungry passers by.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“My absolute favorite pho in all Seattle- affordable, generous portions and most of all, delicious 😋“

“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!“

“everything I eat there is amazing!! love their peach challah bread and their recent chocolate cake with almond butter cream!! keep it up!!“

“My go to Pho place in Lynnwood. Always great soup and excellent service.“

“Pho w/ beef.
The broth leaned more on the savory side with a nice touch of oil leftover. The prices were the cheapest I’ve seen compared to any other pho place but it only came with brisket slices. I did miss the tendons and tripe parts. Asked for extra thai basil and apparently I took the last one. The noodles were so clean I didn’t see any starch come from them when I broke it apart which is a great sign. Got the large size- large pho typically gouges me if I eat it all but I cleaned my bowl and didn’t feel gouges. It was the right amount but a tad smaller than expected but enough to satisfy after a 6 mi run

I think I’ll be back to try their banh mi since the plate that they serve it on is a vibe and possibly the banh canh since it’s irregular“
