50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Mountlake Terrace

“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.“

“Pho Trans is under new ownership, and I couldn't be more impressed! The pho here is absolutely fantastic. The broth is rich and flavorful, with just the right balance of spices. You can tell they put a lot of care into it. The herbs are also fresh and crisp.

The service is also top-notch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and quick to make sure you have everything you need.

Oh, and the Vietnamese coffee? It's fresh brewed and so smooth, definitely a must-try if you're a fan of Ca Phe Sua Da.

The new owners are super sweet and you can tell they're passionate about what they do. Pho Trans has become my go-to spot for pho, and I highly recommend checking it out. If you've previously been here under the old ownership, I implore you to check the spot out again--it's so much better.“

“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 .“

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

“If you have picky eater kids with you and you're looking for something delicious, healthy, yet lower calories then get the PLATTER tray of Banh Hoi. It's Vietnamese lettuce wraps with all of the houses major highlight proteins. Delicious!! And filling and a fair price for a large platter of food.

My kids ate all the noodle weaves and said it was delicious. The noodles are plain, steamed or boiled but they're completely mess free to eat and run around the restaurant with so it was the perfect toddler finger food.

I ate the lettuce, veggies, basil and grilled meats. Lunch for them, lower calorie meal for me. Under $30. Also the kids pho is good too! Like chicken noodle soup. My picky eaters loved it.

Service was very meh. They didn't come to check on us or give us water. You go upfront to pay, they don't deliver the check.“

“The black sesame foam for the Gloomy Matcha has me in a chokehold…. I tried recreating it at home, but it comes nowhere near as close to what you can get here. I came right at opening time before my flight took off because I just had to get another Gloomy Matcha 😂 it’s THAT good. Wish we had an Aroom on the east coast 😭

Right down the street is a bakery, which is so nice! Come to Aroom for your morning coffee/matcha, then head to Sea Wolf for some bread.“

“awesome food and great,very friendly service!“

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

“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.

“I don’t know how I haven’t given this place a review yet. I’ve been coming here for over a decade. It’s very quiet and calm and the food is great. I always get a #10 Pho and the waiter knows my order by now. It feels great being treated like a local. Super friendly service and prices are great.“

“LOVE BASIL 😍 THE BEST PHO 😍“

“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.“

“I have been here twice now and have tried the pork and chicken banh mi. As others have noted these are not typical banh mi portions. The meat was literally overflowing from the French bread. Not overly sweet which happens at other places.

The first time I went the place was pretty busy with a lot of eat in and take out orders. The second time it was pretty quiet with just a few other customers. Looking forward to visiting again.“

“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!“

“Excellent. I got the combo vermicelli bowl, and it was full of fresh and pickled veggies and greens, the noodles were done just right, and the amount of meat was very generous. I'm happy, will be back!
I got takeout and I really liked their compostable cardboard round box, it kept the food well and looked like it was the least bad option for the environment. I was impressed!“

“This was a hard spot to rate… The food was palatable, but the service really ruined it. Not to mention, it was over 80° out (late June) & no AC & flies swarming our faces. They did not check on us once, to see if we wanted a refreshment refill (which we wanted). Tried getting several people’s attention, by raising our hands, but they would divert their eyes & go back in the kitchen. They were very unfriendly, the whole time we were there. The food is GREAT, maybe just get some take out & have a better experience!?“

“Good Food and the attention is great“

“the bun bo hue is very good. The portion and different cuts of the meat also as the noodles and veggies are generous and tasty. The broth is spicy but sweet with the flavor of the lemongrass made you feel so eager to eat it all of the whole bowl. 👍🤗“

“It was good. The broth was tasty and the tendon was really savory. I was sick for the past few days and this pho along with some chili oil really made me feel better.

The food was good, but everything else was just okay. When your waiter is watching videos loudly without headphones a couple tables over, it really interrupts the meal.“

“I did LOVE this place as my go to place for Pho is no longer around. The very first time I ordered I asked for hoisin sauce on the side and got no hoisin sauce at all. I called and asked they said to put it in the notes that I wanted it on the side. I said okay fine. So I put it in the notes on the side the next time I ordered from this place. still got no hoisin sauce. Figured I'd give it one more try so I tried it today wrote it on the side and got no Hoisin sauce. So I called the place and explained the situation and they said that that was their bad and they misunderstood. No rectifying no nothing I hung up out of complete disappointment. I'm done trying this place now. Which super sucks.“

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

“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!“

“I had the pork banh mi. Great value and super fresh and delicious. Nice people here. It even came with a rice soup which I’ve never seen paired with banh mi before.

It was so slow on a Friday night. Give these lovely people some business!“

“This place has the best pho in Seattle!! Hands down. I have tried many other places closer to me, but I keep coming back to An Nam. The broth is to die for!
Friendly staff, peaceful atmosphere with big tables. I am never hurried out. There is never a rush to get out. Their iced coffee is delicious.
Totally a great experience!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“The taste that you dont wanna miss!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Best spring roll and peanut sauce!! Wrapper isnt hard, everything tastes so fresh and they don't fill it w unnecessary mint leaves or cilantro. Great ratio of everything. Go too spot for spring rolls, chicken wings, and basically everything!“

“Not only is the food here absolutely incredible, but it is AMAZINGLY portioned for the cost. I’ve formerly been a person that’s always had a hard time finishing my pho because I never found it good enough to not be able to put down. Boy is that NOT the case at this restaurant!!! I finished every single little bite of noodle and meat (Beef brisket and beef rare is my go to) and raved about the food with my friend who joined me for dinner. The service is also amazing, the staff is very professional, patient, and well mannered. The atmosphere is great, very relaxed vibe for the restaurant, you don’t feel like you have to look a certain way to eat there, just come as you are and be prepared for delicious food for a great price with equally great service.“

“Delicious. Very very good“

“Vietnamese Cafe is a Vietnamese restaurant a block up from Market on 15th. Parking around here is always terrible, so be prepared to park up the block to walk to it and up their stairs (since they're on the 2nd floor). Inside, they probably have a dozen tables or so. Their menu is a good size and easy to navigate. Prices per portion are pretty good as their sandwiches are pretty big. The staff are so friendly here, always happy and usually will strike up a conversation with you. Overall it's a solid Vietnamese place with good food at a good price.“

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

“I ordered bun tom thit nuong for dinner tonight, and it was so fresh, beautiful, and delicious! The meat was seasoned and cooked perfectly, the homemade fish sauce was delicious, and the veggies were plentiful. Perfect proportions of veggie to noodle/meat. Highly recommend! I would definitely come here again to try something different or have the same dish again.“

“So good, stop in here...On a whim, I saw this place because the burrito line was long af. I wanted something, saw bahn mi changed my tune! I grabbed a pork bahn mi, it was so good, so juicy and tender. The bread was delicious, the toppings were so good.“

“A Hidden Gem for Authentic Vietnamese Flavor. This is a no nonsense, counter service deli. The space is small with limited seating. The decor is minimal, but the focus here is on the food. The beef noodle soup was equally impressive, aromatic broth simmered for hours, silky rice noodles, and thinly sliced beef that melted in my mouth.“

“Good Spicy noodles pho! ❤️❤️“

“My husband and I have been living in this neighborhood for over a year and we couldn't believe it's taken us this long to discover BOL! After returning from a long trip, we ordered delivery and the driver went beyond the call of duty and dropped off our hot food directly in front of our third-floor apartment door. It arrived before we even got home and we were beyond amazed at the quality of vegetables and MSG-free broth!!!! I've been suffering bad reactions to MSG at many other restaurants nearby so finding BOL is such a game-changer for us and a new favorite staple.“

“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❣️“

“It’s in the university district, so they cater to a lot of veg/vegans. A wide variety of options here: curry, fried rice, pho, stir fry, bahn mi, pad thai, etc with vegan beef/chicken or tofu. Portion sizes are more Asian than American. There’s a boba shop inside too that has non-dairy milks.“

“Good quality, good price, good food at a food court! Real dishes are used if you eat in so you have to clear your own dishes after eating. From Oshima we had chirashi bowl, udon with sashimi/spicy tuna roll, baked scallop roll, rainbow roll - better than restaurant quality; from bbq, we tried the garlic chicken rice bowl - pretty good; from Malri Hyang, we had the sweet and sour pork with saucy noodles and the shrimp fried noodles - tasty; from Thai Dragon, we tried the Thai drink - one with condensed milk - taste like grass jelly and one without - taste like dried prune. We will be back!“

“Best Pho I’ve had in a long time! Love the menu!! Can’t wait to be hungry again and go back! Excellent food! Excellent service, convenient and lots of parking. Excited there here in Kirkland Urban!“

“A very authentic Vietnamese restaurant with rich dishes and great taste. It is worth recommending“

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