50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Mercer Island

“An excellent out-of-the-way Vietnamese restaurant located next to where the old Rite Aid drug store used to be! I ordered the spicy chicken teriyaki and it was delicious! Service was very polite and prompt! For just under $20, the chicken was very flavorful and tender, and the spiciness was perfect! The portions were very generous,too! The two sides of steamed rice and a salad were excellent as well! If you have a craving for excellent teriyaki, this place is a must-try!🎸🌴👽🇺🇲🇸🇪🎵👻😎😃🤘“

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“We stumbled upon this little Cafe while waiting for a train to come in. we had the Bánh mi drip! Absolutly amazing,so much flavor!!! the broth to dip in was so yummy! I'd drive the 4 hrs to eat here again!“

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

“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.“

“10/9/2021 Recommend? Yes. I arrived right after they open with my luggage because I was starving from my long train ride in from Whitefish, MT. The server was super nice. He got me hot tea and banh cam to settle in with. I ordered bo bia (autumn rolls), vegan pho, and roasted pork banh mi (to go). The banh cam had a thick dough and it was huge. Two of those could've been a whole meal. Everything I ordered was delicious and they were so kind! My favorite was definitely the banh mi. It was even good after I had refridgerated it. The best part was the vegan butter and vegan pate. I absolutely loved it, best vegan banh mi I've had.“

“❤ Love this place, the food is beautiful and fresh and delicious, they are very careful and kind and conscientious about dietary needs, and the atmosphere in this lovely clean restaurant is cool and inviting and comfortable. Great service and staff, thank you for wonderful food and the Thai iced tea was delicious!“

“This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had.

We ordered the fresh summer rolls, fried spring rolls, special combination pho, fresh lemonade, and coconut water. Every single item was outstanding, but the pho was the star. The broth was rich, flavorful, and tasted like it had been simmering for hours. Everything was incredibly fresh.

As a first-generation Vietnamese American, this meal brought back so many memories. The fried spring rolls instantly reminded me of eating my grandma’s homemade spring rolls growing up in Hawaii. The pho and fresh lemonade, on the other hand, transported me back to Vietnam. For a moment, I felt like I was a kid again sitting at a table with family.

Pho Ba is definitely a hole-in-the-wall, and the surrounding area isn’t the prettiest, but don’t let that fool you. Sometimes the most authentic food comes from places exactly like this.

If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese food in Seattle, this is it. I’ll be thinking about this meal for a long time. It’s one of the best Vietnamese meals I’ve ever had.“

“fast service and kind staff. straight to the point. personally, i like my broth more flavorful and noodles a little softer but that’s personal taste and not reflective of their hard work.

recommend. may come again with friends. thank you.“

“friendly staff, great coffee. Will definitely be back for more.“

“We have come here for many years. It been awhile since we came back. We like their new menu looks like it been recently updated. We ordered our usual of: -Vietnamese Sweet & Sour Catfish Soup -Catfish in Clay Pot/Stew -Rice Today we also tried: -Crispy Oysters -Salted Fish Fried Rice -Three Color Dessert -Thai Dessert It wasn't too busy today, we got a table right away for a family of our. The servers were nice and friendly. Our desserts were bought out first, and soon after the main dishes. Our usual dishes is the tasty as usual. Our favorite as a family is the fried oysters. Our young kids liked it best with the sweet sauce (not spicy). The sizing of the oysters are large and it tasted excellent. Overall, it was a wonderful dining night with the whole family. We will be back as usual! We highly recommend this place! They got some of the dishes we love that keeps us coming back for more!“

“Order at the door and the seat you. Party of 6 or more they auto charge gratuity incase you aren’t anticipating it. Food is great. They don’t come to check on you but probably due to covid/social distancing. Easy atmosphere. Parking is very limited so be prepared.“

“every time my partner & i go on a vacation, she is in the search for the best matcha (for context, she works at a tea shop. so it’s not fully coming from a pretentious place). this place hits the S tier.
amazing matcha. phenomenal Vietnamese coffee. we will definitely be back next time we’re in town.
(also we got the black sesame matcha & black sesame coffee & they were both killer)“

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

“Ramie is such a beautiful and unique Vietnamese fusion restaurant in Seattle! I really love how they take traditional Vietnamese flavors and ingredients and give them a creative, modern twist without losing the comforting flavors that make Vietnamese cuisine so special 🥰

Everything we tried was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and had such a nice balance of flavors. The atmosphere is also warm, stylish, and intimate, making it a great spot for a date night, special occasion, or even just a nice dinner with friends.

One of my favorite things about Ramie is that their menu changes with the seasons. I think that’s such a fun concept because there’s always something new to look forward to and try. Even though we had a great experience this time, I already have a reason to come back and explore more of their new seasonal dishes!

Definitely recommend Ramie if you’re looking for Vietnamese food that feels familiar but also fresh, creative, and elevated. Can’t wait to come back and see what they have on the next seasonal menu! ❤“

“I don't claim to be a banh mi connoisseur, but this was the best banh mi I have ever had. Totally not expected from a little stall in a grocery food court.
I've also had their shrimp fresh rolls and fried fish balls before as well which were also tasty. I'll have to try the pho next.“

“Shattuck and Tristan were great!“

“The owners were so nice and welcoming. The food was delicious! I ordered the pad thai with chicken. I ordered the level 3 spicy and it was perfect if you want some spicy but not burning your mouth. The chicken is tender and not dry at all. The pho broth was delicious as well. It has so much flavor I could just sip the broth from a cup. Definitely recommend this place!“

“I visited for the first time this evening, and I got the pho brisket. I was really happy with how the broth flavor was as well as the portion and temperature of the food.

I live pretty close by so I look forward to visiting this place again soon.“

“Menu is awesome, quick services and good food!“

“Good foods. Will be back if I’m in town“

“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!“

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

“Best broth in the Rattle. Lemon grass chicken was perfect and the tea was great. No complaints. Cheap as chips“

“Whole in a wall Authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Not downtown Seattle kind of menus which u have to pay additional $ for extra meat ! 😂“

“Best place for lunch in Georgetown hands down“

“One of the best kept secrets in Seattle. Amazing food at good prices aren’t easy to find. This place nails it. And it’s always a happy experience going in!
Everything is so fresh, flavorful and ample. The sandos are obviously the crown jewel, but don’t forget the veg, rolls and shrimp on sugar cane. Can’t really mess up at Tan Dinh.“

“Recently tried it cause it was close to my home and it is quickly become a stable of my diet. Good for for very reasonable prices“

“We found this gem in a strip mall. Excellent food!!! We arrived for lunch and Grace was kind enough to explain the menu and show us sizes of the pho. We had the shrimp pho, Grace showed me where to get the accompanying garnishes for the soup, everything was so fresh! Food was brought to us and Grace bussed the table. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and would recommend.“

“My office ordered here for a big to-go order on a cozy, rainy day, and they were so accommodating! An order for 7 people was ready in 20 minutes and packaged securely. We ordered Pho Tai and Pho Nam, grilled pork Bahn mi, a bunch of egg rolls, and the sweet and sour pho, which was amazing if you like to explore flavors, dont shy away from it! All of our food was great, there were no complaints from anyone. 10/10 for these guys, a true hidden gem in Tukwila, WA! Fair warning: their chili oil is no joke. I would buy jars of this stuff. Edit: this place is under new management so this review is no longer accurate“

“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*“

“Delicious brisket pho for lunch today! Server was nice and service was great!“

“DELICIOUS. Had the grilled chicken banh mi (delicious) and tried the strawberry matcha cream soda!! Was surprisingly light and refreshing; it was so good i loved it :) (They have a few other specialty drinks too if you want to try something unique !)

No cash, just a windowed storefront but has benches nearby and a water station outside while you wait. If you've never had phin coffee before be aware it is very strong! XD“

“Order at the door and the seat you. Party of 6 or more they auto charge gratuity incase you aren’t anticipating it. Food is great. They don’t come to check on you but probably due to covid/social distancing. Easy atmosphere. Parking is very limited so be prepared.“

“Best pho and Vietnamese food I’ve ever had! Super fun place with amazing food. Stopped in and was seated immediately. Every item we tried was outstanding. It’s rare to find a gem that has great service, food, and atmosphere and these people have it figured out. Also, met the owner and she talked to us about how these are her recipes. It just tastes like home cooking and not actual plug and play restaurant food. We’re lifers at this place now! I mean it’s so good we went back the next day.“

“And great Vietnamese food.“

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

“We've had a number of meals here now and, Saigon Gardens has been a model consistency. The plate dishes have been very good, and their Pho-Tai has been exceptional. Not sure why some reviews complain about a flavorless broth.

Now the real test will be how good will their food be 18months from now. Common habit for some south Seattle Vietnamese restaurants is the food quality drops off about a year or two of operation.

But, so far so good!“

“Always good service, very friendly. Food is hot and tasty. It’s a treat to eat here.“

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

“I loved this small place on Beacon Hill. I was visiting from Detroit and saw it as I walked from the train to where I was staying. I went in an hour before they opened without realizing it, and the friendly owner invited me to come back at lunchtime. I'm glad I did. The owner greeted me again warmly. I had veggie pho with tofu and a Vietnamese coffee, both absolutely delicious. The servers were friendly as well. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Not much atmosphere, but very friendly, satisfying food, and reasonable price. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely go back.“

“Thank you Ba Bar for delivering lunch yesterday to Swedish Hospital healthcare workers!!!! It was so wonderful to take our masks off and enjoy amazing, healthy food. Thank you for thinking of us!“

“Stable vietnamese restaurant, with a good selection of vegetarian dishes. My go to for vegetarian pho and vegetarian bamboo noodle soup, vermicelli bowl also delicious. My husband love their special Pho. Their vietnamese is on the strong side so be careful. Quick service and plenty of parking. Lunch time can be really busy.“

“Best Vietnamese food OB the Eastside“

“im vietnamese was craving viet rice dishes and been looking for a good viet restaurant. Found Pho My Chau 2; one of the most legit and best vietnamese places in fedway.“

“Went to Thein Phat on Rainer ave south for the second time and wasn't disappointed at all.

The pho broth was very good and the spring rolls were just right.

When you have the chance please go and support this local restaurant which is run by a mom and daughter team.“

“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.“

“I had the beef teriyaki and my husband had kaee Mao dinner soo delicious! Very kind people who are invested in your experience and making sure you enjoy the food they put their heart into. If you enjoy this type of food at all, this is a must to try!“

“Low key and authentic. Good spring rolls, pho, and rice dishes.“

“Authentic Pho. Pickled onion or bowl of lard and green knionsnavailable on request. Also has Specialty cuts like crunchy and fatty brisket if you want. Unfortunately, it may be permanently closed. Went there middle of day on a Saturday and was not open 😒“
