50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Normandy Park

“Came to this place after a long day of traveling for some takeout. We walked in and immediately noticed the cozy and welcoming atmosphere. My boyfriend and I were the only two in the restaurant and the staff greeted us very kindly right away. The owner (I assume from reading other reviews) brought out our food and greeted us so kindly, she treated us like family, called us both by name and before leaving she prayed over us. It was such a genuine and beautiful gesture that I was not expecting. She packed up our food and hugged us both goodbye. The food was great and exactly what we needed after a long day. We are just visitors here but through that short interaction and tasty food it made us feel like it was home. Thank you Rose Pho, we will absolutely be coming back on our next visit!“

“❤ 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!“

“I visited this sandwich shop and really enjoyed it. The sandwiches were fresh, tasty, and made with good-quality ingredients. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was casual and clean. It’s a great place for a quick and satisfying meal. I would definitely come back again.“

“Amazing food and an amazing owner!
I ordered #7 this time and thought it would be the same as the #5 I had on my previous visit. When I asked the owner about it, he kindly explained the difference. To my surprise, he even gave us an extra bowl of beef, which was such a thoughtful gesture.

The food was delicious, and the owner was incredibly kind and generous. Great service, great food, and a wonderful dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The best Pho place in Kent WA and the Seattle WA area. The food is amazing. Other places that I have been have been mediocre. I have been to at least 6 places in the Kent Seattle area.“

“the waitstaff is very nice and my to go orders are always prepared pretty quickly. i also love the decor in this place and it’s a super chill place to hang out with my friends. the prices are pretty decent for seattle. i like the lychee smoothie, banh mi, and vietnamese coffee here.“

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

“I am a huge pho connoisseur and been to many spots around the great Seattle area (mostly south in federal way, Kent, Renton) and this is my new favorite spot. Service is always great, clean and modern interior, and the pho is 🔥🔥. Price is fair compared to other spots, and if you come with friends and family they have a variety of other options like phad thai and teriyaki. Highly recommend if you are in the kent-east hill area!!

To those bigger eaters like me (I go all out on pho) the large bowl is definitely a Large bowl with ample portions of everything: more noodles, meat, and soup. And again the service is always amazing and kitchen staff are always on point with timing and quality.“

“wow, traditional dishes are good, but fusion dishes are better in my opinion. Fusion dishes show the creativity and outside the box thinking. Tried my first sandwich today and will be returning to try others. If you love Binh Mi this is the spot.“

“Veggie pho! OMGoodness so good! Loved this meal!“

“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“

“My favorite pho spot so far. I love that there are vegetables in the soup base in addition to the veggies you can add on your own. Staff is friendly. I would try the steak pho either Korean noodles or glass noodles, both are good. I love extra bean sprouts, jalapeños,and spicy chilli sauce! Expect to pay $15-20 per person“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Best place for lunch in Georgetown hands down“

“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.“

“Food was great and service was amazing. We ordered two family style entrees and the portions were large. My husband and I took the rest home. Good place to go if you're craving Vietnamese food that isn't pho but I think they have that too!“

“5 star for the grilled pork Vietnamese sandwich. The meat was tender & perfectly marinated. They used Vietnamese bo (aoli) instead of mayonnaise. Veggies were fresh & bread was toasted.
I will come here for my Vietnamese sandwiches if I don’t have time to wait at Q bakery.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Had an amazing experience at Renton Bistro! I came specifically to try their Vietnamese food and ordered the grilled pork chop with broken rice (cơm tấm đặc biệt), and it did not disappoint.

The pork chop was perfectly grilled—juicy, flavorful, and slightly smoky with that authentic Vietnamese taste. The broken rice was soft and paired so well with the pickled veggies, fresh garnishes, and fish sauce. Every bite felt balanced and comforting, just like a true Vietnamese home-style meal.

Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe was clean and welcoming. If you’re craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine, Renton Bistro is definitely worth a visit. I’ll absolutely be back to try more dishes!“

“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!“

“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 😒“

“The peaceful atmosphere here combined with delicious food makes the meal memorable.“

“The pho was pretty good. Not the best I’ve ever had, but enjoyable. And the wait staff was very attentive and kind. When we’re in Burien we would go back again.“

“Yummy but overpriced. Asked for a 12oz plain black iced coffee and was given a coffee with loads of room and so much foam. Not even like a cold foam just lots of bubbles. The foam was literally like an 1” which was annoying since I asked for only black and no room and it $5. I’ve had iced Vietnamese coffee before and never had so much foam in it.
$5 for a 12oz coffee and to not be given 12oz was a bummer“

“Alway love banh beo chén , bánh xèo , canh chua cá kh to , many many good food here“

“This is a hole in the wall type place. Idk why people are expecting 5 star location-this isn't that. You want 5 star establishment with 1 star prices? Yall trippin. What it is-is a family establishment. Inflation is high so of course you gotta go with the times. The food is always on par, catering is amazing-prices are always lower than any other vietnamese shop. Banh mi is about $7-8 bucks which is nothing compared to some that charge upwards to $11-15. The pho hits at home when I add my chili oil to it. The vermicelli bowl is fresh, delicious and ginormous for under $20. Love My and her family!“

“Tung Kee Mi Gia holds a special place in my heart, even though I’ve moved away from South Park, Seattle. My sister and brother-in-law are devoted regulars, and today, for Mother’s Day, I took them back for a feast. We had their number 15 combination noodle soup, which was absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. They also served us Vietnamese coffee, which was good, though I wished it had a bit more condensed milk—still, a unique take on it.

What keeps me coming back—or at least sending my family there—is the outstanding service. As soon as we sat down, the staff brought us water and tea, and we barely had to wait before our food arrived. The team is quick, attentive, and genuinely warm—something that elevates every visit. It’s a classic example of a neighborhood gem with a big heart.

In addition to the amazing food, Tung Kee Mi Gia is super convenient, with plenty of parking, so it’s easy to get in and out. Despite the small adjustments I might make to the coffee, I still give them five stars—this place is a true standout. If you haven’t been yet, it’s definitely worth the visit!“

“Came for lunch, was seated right away and brought water. Ordered Bun dac biet, and spring rolls. Amazing food, and great service. I highly recommend. (A little sad I didn't order the pho, everyone was getting that and it looked and smelled great!)“

“I recently dined at Anchovies and Salt, and I must say, it was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, showcasing the best of Vietnamese cuisine with a unique twist. Each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented, making it hard to choose a favorite. The environment of the restaurant was inviting and cozy, with a vibrant atmosphere that made for a perfect dining experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. If you're in Seattle and craving some incredible Vietnamese food, I highly recommend checking out Anchovies and Salt. You won't be disappointed!“

“Banh mi was great not what i ordered but still good, got a lychee slush i could tell it was not the real deal. Not bad but not great. Banh mi for sure legit. Maybe their other drink would be better. Will try again next time. No rr for customer a cute tiny hole in the wall. Good vibe and energy.“

“Always clean always good!“

“First time trying Vietnamese food, loved it! The gỏi cuốn chicken spring rolls were fresh and excellent, and the bánh mì chicken sandwiches were really delicious with great flavors and crunch. Food overall was top notch. Thanks for an awesome meal.“

“Highly recommend Hot Pho! Fast friendly service and good size portions!“

“My partner and I came in and was impressed by the taste of their pho broth. If you've been to Vietnam or remember mom's homemade pho, this is exactly what I got from this place. Easily my personal favorite restaurant to indulge when I want pho and amazing spring rolls.

Don't let the exterior or interior intimidate you, because their food is amazing. The interior atmosphere is reminiscent to how older Vietnamese restaurants looked like pre-2008 and made me remember fond memories.“

“As a preface, im a fatty with a love hate relationship with bahn mi. Grandma used to make it for me as a kid but everytime ive gone out for it, its just not the same. Usually the bread Explodes on contact, and I wear the sandwich.

Not the case here. Not only is the bread softer (not soggy, soft), its Way richer in taste than I EVER get 😭

Not only that, but usually I order 2. Im currently staring down the barrel that is my second bahn mi, and although I have the strength to finish, im absolutely going to need a nap. These puppies are Yuge.

Also, generally I just skip reading the menu and order as there's not much variation. Here, I got EGG IN MY BAHN MI!!! And its PHENOMENAL. Literally ruined every other spot ive ever been to.“

“They have the best pho in the world! I have had it many places but their broth is second to none.“

“Pho Lam is currently my fav pho spot in the kent area and ive tried almost every vietnamese restaurant within a 10 minute drive from Willis st exit. They make spring rolls with chicken which I like. I've had better pho broth, but only because I've been to like 50 pho restaurants. The server was very nice as always, and i quite enjoyed my meal :)“

“Rainier valley staple! Their teriyaki is perfectly balanced, not too sour, not too salty, not too sweet. (& have spicy too 🥵) We try to make it here at least once a month. Owners/managers are sweet folks, & great with our kiddos. Vegan/veg options are delicious, always fresh. Highly recommend.“

“Had the Pho, Veggie w/ beef broth and it was excellent. While it may be a couple dollars more than the cheaper places, it is fresh, flavorful, and it's my new go-to.

Service was very nice and the flavors were wonderful.“

“The owners are stand-up human beings. My loved one was homeless in the Auburn area one winter, and they consistently treated him with kindness and genuine concern. I have never forgotten their compassion. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant.“

“I’m so dumbfounded by how delicious their Pho is (I’m literally eating and typing this review). What a gem! Hole in the wall. I am a pick Pho eater and always drive long distance to get Pho. Randomly discovered this place as I drove past, made a U-turn thinking why not?! Felt like I just hit the jackpot. Service can be better but I’m here for this bowl of Pho. Meat is sliced thin and tender. Veggies are fresh. Great broth. And the price is absolutely reasonable. You can’t find a large bowl anywhere for less than $14.“

“Had garlic and asian zhing wings both delicious, crunchy and not too spicy. Perfect! Will be back again to try other items, but have already found my go to wings!!!“

“Food super good , so much interesting“
