Anchovies and Salt

The food, the restaurant, the staff, the ambiance 10/10! Prices are very reasonable and worth every bite! The Lakeview was breathtaking! Huge playground on the side of the building for kids to play afterwards. In summer they have water activities at the lake like pedal boat, etc. Highly Recommend this restaurant ♥️!

Highly recommend! The menu feels like a tour around Vietnam, featuring dishes you don’t typically see at a Vietnamese restaurant. I loved this culinary journey through northern, central, and southern flavors, with creative touches like the coconut milk geoduck that beautifully blends Vietnamese traditions with local ingredients. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly, and the waterfront setting adds to the charm. My only regret was dining alone—I wish I could have ordered everything I wanted to try!

We set on the patio. The view was beautiful. The food was ok did not resemble the photo on the menue and our service was a bit slow. We ordered rice with our food and that came out way later than all of our other food,we had to remind the waiter. We also had to wait a long time for our second round of drinks took over 15 minutes altough the bar was not busy.

Amazing food and ambience! Portion sizes are a bit small, but pretty sure everything is meant to be shared! The black cod is absolutely delicious and melted in mouth

I haven't been here in person but someone I know brought me some food from here and it was absolutely delicious. I was surprised at how good it was and had to ask him where he got it from. I dont know what the sauce on the beef was but it was magnificent. Can't wait to eat here in person.

This place is awful. Go to burien or white center and have MUCH better Vietnamese food. Soooo bad.

Our Seattle friends brought us to Anchovies & Salt on our last visit, and I can’t stop thinking about it. The convenience of being able to dock your boat right outside paired with the beautiful views makes it such a fun and alluring spot. Every plate highlighted Vietnamese flavors perfectly- truly authentic, thoughtfully presented, and worth every penny. Nothing was lacking; you can taste the love and hard work behind each dish. Meeting Quyen (owner) was such a highlight. His warmth and hospitality are unmatched and made the whole experience even more memorable. I’m already looking forward to our next visit!

As someone who is Vietnamese, I feel like there are so many other wonderful dishes that they could've highlighted and put on the menu. Along with that, for the price of what's on the menu, the portion sizes were very small, so you are definitely paying for the aesthetics and vibe, less so a top quality meal over all. For instance, the clay pot fish is something that most Vietnamese households have regularly, so charging $32 for a small clay pot you could hold in your hand is outrageous. I would've really liked to give a better review, but I just couldn't do it because the hype did not meet the expectations, especially as someone who has experienced this culture their whole life.

Happy to see some vegan options!
Tofu pho was very flavorful as well as the water fern cakes!

Food just not up to par. Lot of bees and bugs for the outdoor area.

Took the family here. The pho is different but in a good way. It was definitely memorable. The egg rice brought me back to when my grandma used to make that for me. Really classic dishes but in a beautiful location.

A great place with a good view! Authentic Vietnamese food with an interesting western twist. The food is very tasty and well prepared. The vibe is great and the location is convenient especially if you live in the Hyatt next door.

Only had a picture of the dessert (very unique and yummy!), because it's hard to remember taking picture when yummy food is in the table and I am hungry.

We have Marcus as our waiter and he is awesome! 😎
