I don’t know why the score is only 4.4, for me it should be at least 4.8. We came here twice in 2 weeks. Really nice! Worth to try!

Easily one of the best Bún bò Huế I’ve had in a long time. The broth hits that perfect spot - deep, aromatic, but still light with a subtle sweetness. Not overly greasy, just clean and satisfying. The bowl was loaded: pork blood, meatballs, beef, and some house-made meat patties. Generous portion too - I was stuffed, but kept going. Low-key incredible.

We ordered Bún Bò Huế and an assorted grilled meat plate with greens and flat noodles. These were both first-time dishes for me, as I haven’t seen them offered at other Vietnamese restaurants in Seattle. I was really excited to try them — and they turned out to be absolutely amazing.

The soup wasn’t spicy at all, but it had a rich, deep beef flavor. It came with generous portions of meat, including large meatballs and beef ribs. The noodles were round and soft, not chewy.

The grilled meat dish was full of smoky, fire-grilled flavor. The marinated meat was tender and tasty, although the slices were paper-thin. Still, it worked well with the noodles and fresh greens. I do wish they had served a bit more fish sauce on the side. I couldn’t finish everything, so I took the leftovers home — and they were just as good the next day!

Portions are large, the food looks beautiful, and the taste is even better.

The only downside was the service. None of the servers came to check on our table until I asked for the check and a to-go box. We didn’t get any water refills. Since the meat came in large pieces, we needed a knife, but didn’t receive one until my husband went up front and asked for it. Hopefully, they’ll offer more attentive and friendly service on our next visit.

Overall, I highly recommend this place for the food — it’s worth it!

Love the food here. The Pho is very solid although a little on the oily side. There are many delicious stir fry and noodle dishes on the menu though, so definitely not limit yourself to their soup!

Summary: decent place to hit up if you’re craving viet food.

Food: good portions but taste wise can be interesting. Some of the dishes were either hella salty (fish), lacking (pho), or just not what you’d expect (bun Bo hue). But other dishes like Com Tam and Bo Ne were good so we’d recommend those.

Price: expensive considering where we’re from but as it’s WA, reasonable pricing.

Service: the server was kind and patient with us. They were also attentive.

Atmosphere: cute decor and ample seating. Would recommend as a fun family outing or date. Reasonable table spacing as well

Location: interesting parking situation that can be limited. And ngl, from the outside, the restaurant looks kinda sad and uninteresting.

Relaxed eatery with plenty of delicious options. Service is top notch! We both ordered pho and got fried spring rolls. They came out quickly and at the right temp. My pho had huge pieces of tendon that melted in your mouth. Can’t wait to try their other soups and rice dishes.
