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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“We had the shrimp salad rolls, brisket pho, and chicken fried rice. The shrimp rolls were very fresh and refreshing, packed with crisp lettuce and served with a rich peanut sauce that paired well with them.

The highlight was definitely the brisket pho. It was one of the best pho I’ve had so far. The broth was exceptionally well balanced, with great depth of flavor and just the right richness. The portion was huge, and they were very generous with the brisket, which is something you don’t always see. One bowl was enough to leave me completely full.

The chicken fried rice was also well executed. Nothing particularly unique, but the flavors were balanced and everything was cooked properly.

Service was very fast, and our food arrived quickly. The restaurant was quite busy when we visited and we got the last available table, though it was a weekend. Overall, a very satisfying meal and a place I’d gladly return to.“

“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.“

“awesome food and great,very friendly service!“

“Shattuck and Tristan were great!“

“Wow. Hands-down one of the best meals I’ve had in Seattle.

Ramie is a perfect balance of sophistication, beauty, balance, and flavor. Every dish honors the Vietnamese cuisine in ways that are comforting and familiar, yet also elevated and unique. It’s truly an art!

Some fan favorites from their menu tonight includes:
- Scallop with salted egg yolk sauce
- Betel leaf beef
- Manila clams with milk toast

Pro Tip: you MUST get dessert. Chef Trinh is one of the best pastry chefs in town, and you don’t want to miss any of her creations.“

“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.“

“My ladies group went to dinner there last night and we had a great food and a wonderful time. The staff was attentive and accommodating to our needs. Highly recommended, we'll be back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“If you’re looking for a spot with both delicious food and friendly service, I highly recommend this place.😊“

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

“Best Pho in Everett, I highly recommended 😃“

“Strictly a pho place, no other Vietnamese dishes besides egg/spring rolls. Bare bones atmosphere.
Fried egg rolls pretty basic, I prefer when they are served w lettuce wrap, herbs and veggies.
Pho tai was delicious, very healthy portion of meat. Fast friendly service. Good price. Yum 🥣“

“The broth, oh the amazing broth! When we relocated from Austin to Seattle, we were bummed to leave our favorite pho spot behind, but alas, we got pretty close at Pho 4U. The *only* thing that would make this spot a weekly visit for me is if they offered egg noodles as a substitute, but again, the broth is *everything*“

“Aroom is the best Vietnamese coffee in Seattle! Even tho they are always busy and full of life they make sure to take care of all their customers! I messed up my online order today and they made my drinks again and didn’t charge me again. Their service is top notch and everyone should make sure to visit aroom when they’re around Seattle or their other location up north!“

“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!“

“Just a great place fast yet calm!! Love it“

“Oh, some excellent pho at this spot. Got a medium number 13 with the tripe and brisket and I mac’d on it greedily. Nothing like good pho! Sauce is a lighter/sweeter style, not as herbaceous as pho can be.

Service was fast and the guy was nice and a good server. Always happy to find a place I like! Atmosphere is aight. Nothing wrong, but a room of smudged mirrors with pop songs from 2007 blaring can be a little funny, but i liked it overall. 👍❤“

“Good Food and the attention is great“

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

“100% RECOMMENDED!

It was our first time dining here. The food was DELICIOUS, HEALTHY, and FAST. We are so amazed by the portion, too! We have enough to pack home for a second meal! The veggies were very fresh, the meat was full of flavors, and they had rice, noodles, and bread for different starch choices.

The staff were very friendly! No can complaint at all!

Oh right!! We love it so much that on their ordering machine, the tip suggestions were 3%, 5%, and 8%. Like, brothers and sisters. Can you recall the last time you saw that in an ordering machine? Last time I checked, the ice cream shop and coffee shops suggested 20%, 25%, and 30%. Ughhh, even for this reason only, I'm dead on supporting CrackleMi, not to mention that their food and people are so great“

“Best Vietnamese food OB the Eastside“

“Pho is one of the best I have had in Seattle. I personally doubt you will have anything bad here, Spring rolls are always fresh. One of my fav spots!

Quick, fast and delicious 🤤! Service is always amazing 🤩!“

“Literally amazing. One of the best banh mi’s I’ve had!!! I got the pork one and you can still taste the grilled char on it (in the best way). It’s incredible flavorful and just as good on day two!

Highly recommend CrackleMi! Can’t wait to try their other dishes.“

“We have seen firsthand that Pho 84 genuinely cares about people. Their kindness and support of Support 7 helps us serve families and first responders during difficult moments in our community. We are thankful for businesses that lead with generosity, compassion, and community spirit. Thank you for making a difference beyond your business walls.“

“this is the best pho in seattle. if you think it's not you're legitimately wrong. the meat is just okay but the BROTH is SO GOOD. i have dreams in which i am walking to Vietnam Cafe & Sandwich and i place my order and sit down and when my food arrives i wake up before i can eat. i wake up in fits of wrathful hysterics every night because of these dreams. Vietnam Cafe & Sandwich you haunt me. i love you. i miss you. please never change your broth.“

“food is amazing as always
i got the seafood lemongrass soups.
super punchy with the flavour and spicy. love it.
the chef always hits.

the male owner had a super bad attitude today that put several tables of customers and take out orders uncomfortable. if you’re having a bad day, stay at home.
he was rude, surly faced, and ignored people’s requests.

also the avocado smoothie is made more with powder than with real avocado. it didn’t taste bad… but it wasn’t real avocado. more perfumey“

“Best tendon Pho ever. Great pho broth nice atmosphere , nice service. Great place to hang with folks or Alone. Yummy“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Clearly marked and ample vegan options. The tofu for the tofu vermicelli seasoning I really enjoyed. The pho broth wasn’t very flavorful, but I was able to improve upon it with the available sauces. I’d definitely come back to try the bahnmi and some other items that looked tasty.“

“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!“

“Got their banh mis catered for an event, and not only did they taste great, but the service and price were excellent as well. Actually chose it because it was cheaper than some nearby alternatives but just as good! Will definitely come back to dine in!“

“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.“

“Such a great spot for pho! I got the Pho Dac Biet and it was genuinely delicious. The portion size was great for me and the broth actually reminded me of the authentic flavors back in Vietnam. The owners are also super sweet and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“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.“

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

“best customer service in town with a smile! 😍way to go! Cheers to Twang! Keep it up, we’ll keep coming back and recommend your place❣️“

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