I went there last week. The business was already closed. I wished they would have updated here.

This restaurant has some of the SHADIEST practices ever. AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS. Let me explain how, I ordered on a delivery app, my order was picked up normal, then the delivery driver took off with my order and never arrived. I never got my food, which wasn’t their fault. I contacted the delivery app support and got my refund back. I still need my dinner right? I RE-ORDERED from this restaurant through the app, then they refused to make my order even though I have paid on the app and everything. They absolutely refused to make it, told the next delivery driver to leave, and when I contacted them, they just told me we can’t make your order. An order I placed and paid via delivery app, absolutely shady practice. They didn’t even bother canceling the order, just didn’t want to make it.

I love this flipping place. It's an escargot lovers heaven. The other shellfish dishes are divine. I've had just about every snail about 5 different ways here. And surprisingly the salted egg was my favorite. It was slightly sweet and savory. Brought my parents here and we just went to town on razor clams and every snail they offered.

This Vietnamese restaurant specializes in snails and other mollusks--clans, oysters, mussels, and cockles--grilled or steamed and served in a variety of sauces. The spicy sauce is slightly sweet, oil-based, with crunchy fried garlic. The black pepper sauce is incredible--slightly sweet, slightly spicy, with a lot of rich umami from fried garlic or scallions or shallots (not sure which, or maybe a blend). The flower snails are eaten with your hands: grab the shell (careful, it's hot!) and pull out the meat with a skewer. Bite the meat off the "scale" (operculum) and toss the shell and scale into the shell bucket. Most of the snail and other mollusk dishes are appetizer-sized. Some reviewers suggested ordering a few at a time, as they can get chewier as they cool down. I had the flower snails with spicy sauce. They were a tad chewy but the sauce was amazing. The razor clams in garlic butter were good and the bloody clams in pepper sauce were incredible. The king scallops are about three small bites each; the cheese sauce was fine but I think they'd be even better with one of the other sauces. I finished my meal with a Vietnamese iced coffee, which was perfect.

My favorite seafood restaurant in Seattle! Fresh and tasty! I have brought so many friends here and all of them love it! Eat baked seafood to full only cost ~30-50 dollars

I guess they run as Omodo Teahouse when they're vendoring? I had their peach tea and it was really soothing in the 80s weather at Salmon Days. The drink came out really chilled and the wait was not long despite the consistent line of people. The peach tea, which comes in a choice of normal or large, had a refreshing peachy taste, similar to the canned peach juice drinks at East Asian markets. I'm not sure what tea is in it! Maybe oolong? It also came with lychee(?) toppings and slices of canned peaches. The large comes in a tall, narrow container. The downside is that the straws provided are not long enough, hence it won't reach the bottom by a couple of inches - this is only if you get the large version. The drink is immediately refreshing and hydrating, so I would recommend it to families who need a hydration break and like something sweet and calming. The peach tea could have been a little less sweet but overall a nice drink to have while chilling.

If you want to get your snail fix, this is the place to go. They have so many variety of snails and offers so many styels of cooking and suaces. Not better than some of the Bun and Oc style restaurants down in OC area. I really like the fern cake, the flower snail with lemongrass chili, and their green sauce. The baby scallop with cheese was a bit chewy and over cooked, but it did have a good flavor. The king scallops had a better texture not over cooked. However, they were not worth the price because you only get 2 for $15 and they were not even the big. They also did not have alot of items on the menu that we wanted to try. The grilled shrimp and the razor clams were also good. The grilled squid was okay, I think it was overcooked because of the rubbery texture. I know squid always has a rubbery texture, but if you over cook it, it gets worse and I think that's what happened in this case.

Hands down best Vietnamese restaurant I've ever tried. The razor clams, snails, and beef luc lac were all amazing! Will come again

Great place to try some exotic seafood such as snails and razor clams cooked in the Vietnamese way. I loved the clams in the spicy soup which was full of the flavor of lemongrass. Also, the rice cake was quite similar to the ones that I had in Vietnam. Tips for this restaurant: If you expect to fill your stomach up with seafood, be prepared to see an expensive bill. However, if you order regular Southeast Asian food such as pho and fried rice, it can be very affordable.

Great authentic Vietnamese cuisine, and warm-friendly customer service. It looks small from the outside but spacious and clean inside. We will definitely go back and try more yummy dishes! Highly recommend!
Nice place to eat oc beside Cali. Love their Oc Len xao dua. However, their bun oc is bland.

3rd time here, must-go place each time travel Seattle, Vietnam style seafood BBQ. They offer many flavors and if u don’t know which one to go, try the black pepper, it won’t be wrong.

Went to washroom 3 times the next day. Almost called an ambulance after throwing up. I think they probably changed the owner and chef during Covid. Not going back again.

Nice Vietnamese restaurant tucked away just outside of the ID that specializes in mainly seafood! The menu is vast but there are some popular choices like the signature snails in a creamy coconut sauce with a slight kick (I'm not a fan but my wife enjoys them and to me they're small for what you get, a bit slimy and snails would be my option). We had the fresh spring rolls with roasted pork patties (A6) and like that they came stuffed with lettuce and won ton strips to add a slight crunch plus the dipping sauce was a peanut style with a good kick. We had the shaken beef with black pepper sauce and rice (L9) and menu said on a sizzling platter but for some reason ours wasn't but all in all a good choice. The stir fry water spinach with garlic cloves (S1) was great and thin stems had a nice crunch. The last item we got were the grilled scallops with green onions (H3). Every item on the menu was priced right and these aren't huge portions but perfect for two or three people. Need to venture back again since the menu is so extensive and we only grazed what you can find!

Food wasn't that great. Understaffed so orders took a long time to arrive. Saw some people leave before a waiter took their order. Waited a good 20-30 minutes for an appetizer that waiter later said was sold out. Experience might be better if going at a time when it's not full.
