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!🎸🌴👽🇺🇲🇸🇪🎵👻😎😃🤘“

“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!“

“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 .“

Great service and staff, thank you for wonderful food and the Thai iced tea was delicious!“

“Previously a 7 year resident of the community, I was tipped about this restaurant by an area resident 3 years into living in Seattle back in 2011. After the first time ordering, I later became a frequent customer. Definitely, a good place for Pho in Seattle!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ramie offers a modern take on Vietnamese cuisine that really stands out from the usual spots. As Vietnamese ourselves, we were extremely impressed by the quality of the ingredients, the craftsmanship behind the dishes, and the attentive service.

The bánh tiêu was a pleasant surprise—served with butter and packed with rich sesame flavor. The balut duck egg dish was creative and beautifully executed, while still keeping the traditional flavors intact. The garlic noodles were another highlight: freshly made in-house and cooked perfectly al dente. The chicken dish was also fantastic, super flavorful and paired nicely with grilled kale.

Overall, a really memorable dining experience. Ramie does a great job blending tradition with a modern approach, and it’s definitely a place we’d recommend checking out.“

“I stopped by here for some quick food before a Seahawks game, and I was incredibly surprised by how good this place was
I got the Grilled Pork Bahn Mi, and what surprised me the most was how cheap it was. Compared to how expensive everything around me was, the fact that I could get this for as low as $10 instantly drew my eye. Considering this price, I honestly wasn't expecting much, but this actually turned out very good

I've had a bunch of pork bahn mi's in the past, and this definitely ranks up there as one of the best.
The baguette is super crispy on the outside, yet it didn't feel chewy or hard to get through like you'd often feel with bread that is too hard. Despite the crispiness it was still not too difficult to bite through and get through both sides of the sandwich
I loved the amount of mayo slathered across both sides of this. When making a sandwich like this, sauce is exceedingly important because the risk of making the sandwich feel dry is high. However, in this case, it added to the flavor a lot

The vegetables as a part of this were really good too
The highlight of this sandwich was the pork. It was in relatively large circular pieces scattered throughout, and was abundant throughut the sandwich. This pork was cooked really well, super fatty and flavorful, and you could tell it was recently grilled because of the char marks on the outside - which just added to that grill flavor. It was fantastic

For the price, you really can't beat how good this was, and it was pretty filling as well

Overall, a tiny place that offers an incredibly good version of this classic sandwich. 9/10“

“Shattuck and Tristan were great!“

“To-go Pho $20 (steak + brisket). Super fresh, clean, and lots of meat. I hate when pho comes with hardly any meat but Pho Viet Anh has LARGE portions. The pho broth is on the sweeter side if you prefer that style. Everything is clean and nicely packaged - One size pho.“

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

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

“Love it here! Great neighborhood spot. Service is quick, everyone is really friendly, great casual vibe. The food is good value for the price and they have the best wings I’ve had in Seattle (fish sauce wings specifically).
We have liked everything we have tried on the menu“

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

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

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

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

“OBSESSED with the fish sauce wings here. Whenever we bring them to a party, people ask where they’re from cuz they’re so good! Perfectly fried, with the satisfying crunch of a crispy wing coated in a sweet sticky garlic sauce. Call ahead to place your order (same day seems to be ok). Also the shop keeper is super friendly and full of jokes.“

“love this place! fresh and clean“

“Try the Obama Noodle...it’s really good!“

“Best place for lunch in Georgetown hands down“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“This was the perfect stop after picking up my folks from the airport. It was a chilly day and pho sounded good. Their broth was clean and good, not too salty or oily. Noodles were cooked well, not overdone and mushy. They have a fresh veggie bar that you could pick your veggies to go into your pho. This was a huge plus for me. The place was clean, well lit, and service was great, with staff being kind and friendly.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“And great Vietnamese food.“

“i am so glad they reopen literally just across where they were originally!!! they have the ABSOLUTE BEST Veggie Pho. my partner and my friends would get the non-veggie ones and they always say its the best pho around Seattle. We all always finish our order, soup and everything. trust, theyre that girl for sure.“

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

“My absolute favorite! I have a slight obsession with bahn mi sandwiches and Pho Aroma has my favorite - perfect ratio of meat to bread to veggies. I also love their rice dishes and recently tried the crispy noodle stir fry which is my current obsession! The owners are also the absolute kindest people and it’s just a really cozy places to have a meal.“

“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.“

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

“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 👍“

“Best Vietnamese food OB the Eastside“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Renton. The food is consistently delicious — every bowl, every plate, every time. Whether it’s pho, vermicelli, rice dishes, or their house specialties, everything tastes fresh and full of flavor. You can really tell they care about quality and keeping the recipes authentic.

One thing to know: this place gets busy. If you want a smooth experience with no wait, go early or aim for off-peak hours. It’s popular for a reason, and once the rush hits, the line can get long.

Parking is another plus — free and easy, which is rare these days and makes the visit stress-free.

Overall, if you’re craving comforting, reliable, and genuinely tasty Vietnamese food, this restaurant never disappoints. It’s always a satisfying meal and one of the spots I keep coming back to.“

“I was going to buy a teriyaki next door but it was closed so I decided to check this place out. I ordered the grilled chicken with rice and it was delicious. I also ordered the tofu banh mi and it was better than Saigon deli in my opinion. I will go back again to try other food.“

“I live close to here and come here often. Everything I’ve ever had has been really good to great. The calamari is fantastic. Dont expect them to wait on you hand and foot. They give you the menu take you oder after a few minutes and will fill your water if they see its low. They are not gonna ask you if everything is good every 5 minutes. Great place to come eat in a very chill environment“

“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!“

“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.“

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