“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.“

“Unbelievable Service, don't know where to start broth really good sandwiches excellent. I will definitely be coming back. Thank You for making my day Pam F.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food and service!“

“First time at Aroom Coffee and I tried the Gloomy Matcha — black sesame matcha. It was sooo good! The flavor was really good and well balanced. I honestly loved it.

The place was pretty busy when I went, but the service was still really organized and everything moved pretty quickly. I was impressed with how well they handled the crowd.

Definitely coming back to try more drinks!“

“Soild vietnamese spot for large soups.

We got the crab soup, and hot and sour pho with some spring rolls.

Spring rolls are what you would expect, nothing surprising there but probably didn't need with how much they give you in these soups.

Crab soup was very rich and had a ton of meat. My girlfriend who is very particular with her soups enjoyed it. The hot sour soup was also very good. Balance between the sour flavor was perfect, and the overall amount of food was worth the money. Everything was cooked correctly and had good variety in it.

If you want large bowls of soup with a depth of flavor the check this place out.“

“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!“

“I have so many memories here. This was the first restaurant I ever went to in Lynnwood, and it’s also where I had my first date. Their pho is absolutely delicious and always feels like the best comfort food. I love their drinks too! The cozy atmosphere keeps me coming back whether it’s hot or cold outside, and the customer service is always nice. This place will always have a special place in my heart especially back in college time!“

“Best Pho in Everett, I highly recommended 😃“

“Good Food and the attention is great“

“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.“

“Ordered the Bun Cha, 2V, because I saw it on TV. It's pretty damn good, most Pho has beef broth which I cannot have and this is special in its own right. The banh mi are silencing, most of my friends would rather not ruin their experience by talking.“

“Came on a Saturday afternoon after running errands. There were a few tables, but it was a very quiet and nice atmosphere. Really reasonable prices. I got a small pho with meatballs and rare steak. The broth was delicious on its own. I kind of regret adding anything to it because it was so tasty.

The chili crisp oil is delicious. Generous portions of basil and bean sprouts. They have real and to-go chopsticks. Food came out quickly. Looking forward to next visit.“

“Really enjoyed our meal here! We had the shrimp rolls, beef pho, and stir-fried egg noodles. Everything was flavorful and fresh, especially the pho. The broth was comforting and delicious. The shrimp rolls were light and refreshing. The egg noodles were nicely seasoned and had a great “wok hei” flavor. Overall, a great spot for a satisfying Vietnamese meal!“

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

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

“LOVE BASIL 😍 THE BEST PHO 😍“

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

“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!“

“I've been to many Vietnamese restaurants, but this one gotta be one of the best ones I've been to! Yesterday was my first time here, and I ordered a Bahn Mi sandwich and fresh Spring Roll to go. The sandwich wass the biggest Bahn Mi I've ever had and so was the fresh Spring Roll! I've been to other places where they're skimpy on the proteins, but not this place! I couldn't even finish them in one sitting! Ate half for dinner and half for breakfast! My new favorite Vietnamese food place!“

“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 🤩!“

“Food was really good and had a lot of flavor. It also felt pretty authentic and actually showcased Vietnamese food well. The restaurant itself looks really nice too, especially the fountains around the place. They add a lot to the atmosphere and make it feel more unique. Service was good overall, although it could have been a little better. Definitely a place I’d recommend and come back to.“

“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“

“Came in and was sat down right away. Good was great and service was quick. Server was kind and able to give her best judgement for food. Good tasted great! Even the small bowl was a lot and personally I think could be shared with 2. My friend got spring rolls and enjoyed them“

“We stopped for a quick lunch between errands, and I was blown away with how delicious the banh mi is here! With the most perfectly crisp baguette and phenominally flavorful pork, this is my new go-to spot. I am surprised with how quiet it was mid day on a Saturday! Check this place out so you don't miss out. Will be coming back in cooler weather for the pho!“

“I discovered this place maybe about a year ago and it is so good I sometimes go through phases of eating it even a few times a week! The staff is always very friendly, almost feels like family. They have a really cool fish tank with a bunch of fish right out front , and then there is the most important thing, the food! I have never had a bad thing on the menu here. I am on a mission to try every type of banh mi that they have, but I'm not there yet. I have had a good amount of their appetizers, most of their varieties of banh me sandwiches and have never been disappointed. Excellent, attentive staff, cozy atmosphere, delicious food, all at a reasonable price! 5 stars, would highly recommend.“

“While visiting the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle recently, I stopped for lunch at Market Pho. Located along a busy section of Market Street, Market Pho is surrounded by many other shops and restaurants. Arriving for an early lunch, we found the restaurant to be comfortable and quiet. The menu is small but varied, offering a wide selection of pho and sandwiches. My friend and I both had the grilled pork banh mi, which was quite tasty. I would recommend Market Pho to anyone looking for a quick, affordable lunch option in Ballard.“

“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.“

“Nice to have a pho place near home. Broth is clearly homemade, light and filling. Fresh chicken meat. Staff checked on customers needs and likes. Friendly! I even saw in the kitchen which was exceptionally clean, a huge plus obviously! I would recommend.“

“Delicious. Very very good“

“We had such a lovely experience at Pho Smile! The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the service was warm and friendly. I especially appreciate that they’re open until midnight, so I can enjoy a good meal after work.
I was worried my little one might get restless, so I asked if they could put something on the TV and said even music videos would be fine. They kindly put on cartoons for her instead, and she absolutely loved them! It was such a thoughtful gesture and made our meal even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“THE FOOD IS THE BEST! I LOVE HOW THEY PUT YOUR FOOD ON A SHELL QUALITY TRAY AND THE DESIGNS INSIDE THE PLACE. THERE IS ALSO A BATHROOM IN THE PLACE TOO. THE RESTAURANT IS HECKA SMALL BUT I HAVE TO SAY THE CONDITION IN THE BATHROOM IS ALRIGHT, NOT THE BEST AND SMALL. ORDER A BANH MI FROM THE LARGE SELECTION IN THE MENU.“

“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❣️“

“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!“

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

“THAT WAS SO GOOD! I had shrimp spring rolls and chicken banh mi. I'm so full I can't stand it!! Pricing was very reasonable.“

“The food was amazing. Cooked perfect and fresh“

“Nice to get some authentic Vietnamese while on a work trip. I had the short ribs and rice which was great. My staff had the shrimp rice vermicelli bowl and the chicken rice vermicelli bowl. All were very tasty. I want to try the banh mi next! Thank you to the friendly owner and the staff. Worth a visit.

Edit: I came back and tried the grilled chicken banh mi. I would describe Sydney Banh Mi as being loud and in your face. This banh mi was subtle like French fine dining. The grilled chicken marinade shone through. Different to what I am used to but lovely. The highlight was the bread. It was SPOT ON! Good Banh Mi starts with good bread. It was perfect. Thank you. 🙏“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is my absolutely favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Seattle! I order from here every single week, and it hasn't lost its charm.

The broth is the clear style that reminds me of northern Vietnamese pho, the kind where you can actually see to the bottom of the bowl. It's deeply flavourful, the kind of broth that tells you someone cared enough to do it properly and didn't take shortcuts. It's comforting in a way that's hard to explain until you try it.

And the owners! They are genuinely some of the kindest, loveliest people. You can feel that warmth in every order, and it makes supporting them feel even better.

If you're in the U District and craving authentic Vietnamese food made with real heart, please give Time Bistro a try. It's a little gem and it deserves all the love. 🍜💛“
