Amazing bun bo hue. The broth was very rich and flavorful. I will say: the short rib is unnecessary and I wouldn’t have it added next time. The meat was just hard to chew off the bone. Other than that, I loved the soup. As someone from Houston where Vietnamese food is hard to beat, this place did it well.

Try those shrimp spring rolls. Ask for extra peanut sauce.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while because of the high ratings and good reviews. I was surprised to find the prices are pretty much the same as Ba Bar's (Ba Bar's only around 50 cents more usually). We ordered the fried spring rolls, crispy garlic butter chicken wings, and lemongrass beef vermicelli.The first thing I noticed was that I couldn't taste any fish sauce with the fried spring rolls or vermicelli. I even got another round of fish sauce for the vermicelli, but still couldn't taste any fishiness. I could smell some fishy smell wafting through the restaurant, though, before my food arrived. The fried spring rolls at Ba Bar are slightly over $1 more because they come with vermicelli.The menu says the wings would be in savory garlic butter, but the garlic (burnt pieces) was just spread on top and fell off because they had nothing to stick to. I felt the wings were too dry compared to the description, and I had to keep drenching them in the sweet and sour sauce. I could only taste garlic when I ate the garlic pieces that were sprinkled around.The lemongrass beef vermicelli was the most disappointing because I expected the beef to be in lemongrass sauce. I could barely taste the lemongrass and already couldn't taste any fish sauce. I'm used to the meats being cooked in lemongrass sauce wherever I've ordered lemongrass vermicelli before. The beef was also chewy, but that usually happens whenever I order beef.Another thing I noticed was when people ordered pho, the bean sprouts provided were only a handful - way less than I'm used to seeing. Perhaps people could ask for more, though, and this way it prevents people wasting them.

The vermicelli noodles were wonderful, but the pad thai had nothing special, the stew was very delicious but it was also very common, the food is very good, the dishes are beautiful but I was missing something that might impress me, the place is very good But nothing from the other

Quick service and authentic food in North Seattle. Broth is clean and sides are well matched. Good for large and small groups. Will come back to eat again.

Stopped in for take out because my barista recommended the place. Bahn mi was fresh and phó broth had a rich flavor. Will visit again.

When we showed up, we were the only ones in there and it was lunch time. The place was clean and inviting, but the service wasn't as friendly as we would have expected considering they weren't busy. The food was great.... But a smile goes a long way. I will say, 2 people waited on us throughout. One was great, the other not so much. I would go again.
A lot of (good) food!
