Love this place, best Vietnamese food I’ve ever had. I really like that there’s slightly more middle class Vietnamese places in this city now, gives me the opportunity to try new dishes. I’ve tried pretty much the whole menu, and I especially like the banh khot (small pancakes filled with shrimp), the Ba Rọi Sả Tắc (small rice cakes topped with pork belly). The coconut island dessert is also such a fun touch, yummy, and a great serving size for a party. What a gem!

I love it when I spend 30 minutes finding a restaurant I can eat at, 15 minutes driving there, 15 minutes parking… just to find out that they decided to close their kitchen 20 minutes early. *shakes fist*

So good! I'm first generation Vietnamese here and this place hits! Go here!
Banh Khot can be crispier but it was still good! Bo Ne should be sizzling on the cast iron but it was still delicious! The duck noodles was the best!
This restaurant serves the best pho I’ve had in Seattle (particularly the broth is rich and clean, not overly salted or MSG’d). The rest of the menu is also consistently tasty. The staff are kind and the decor/vibe inside is also awesome. I’ve come here about a dozen times, I tell friends and family about it, and plan to keep coming back.

Pho was average... The throbbing gay techo music was very annoying and had me wishing I wasn't there.

The food tastes good. However, tips are calculated based on the after tax amount. I usually tip 20-22%. But as a matter of principle, I avoid going back to restaurants that trick customers in this way.

I am vietnamese and i had high hopes for this place from my sister. When i was there i had a bad experience unfortunately. Not only did our drinks arrive after our food, the food was sub par. Very disappointed.

This place has absolutely fantastic food. Seriously try all the small plates. The mocktails were great and made fresh in front of us at the bar. Great little dinner spot.

Bahn kot, duck, and BBH were quite good. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Servers could be a bit more attentive, no water refill despite ordering multiple courses.

Absolutely fantastic Vietnamese restaurant. I was hesitant because of the price, but the experience was worth it. The restaurant feels like Vietnam, from the vintage scooter to the tile work in the bar. The service was great, a balance of attentive and giving space for conversation. But the best part, far and away, is the food. Everything we ate was fresh, perfectly cooked, beautifully plated, and tasted delicious.
Finally, there is a decent Vietnamese restaurant that offers more variety than just pho. Although it is really expensive per person, more restaurants must be encouraged to innovate and expand their dishes. How can our Asian cuisine be the same?
The appetizer is shrimp pancake - this is the kind of fusion dish I like. It is soft and glutinous, similar to a glutinous rice egg cake with shrimps on top. The dipping sauce is a traditional Vietnamese dipping sauce. The fusion of sweet, salty, sour and spicy tastes very Southeast Asian.
Shrimp taco - Mexican shape with the core of Vietnamese cuisine
Fried squid rings - The squid feels so fresh. It tastes sweet in the mouth. The paste is very thin and does not affect the taste. I didn’t taste the accompanying sauce. It seems to have a little salted egg yolk.
For my main course, I ordered their chef special, which is duck breast and okra noodles, which seem to be egg noodles because they are a bit fragrant in the mouth. Hahaha, the accompanying sauce is beyond my expectation. It tastes like our fermented bean curd. The duck breast is really amazing. Crispy, tender and delicious
I also ate a noodle soup. The soup was very rich and complex. There was even a piece of pig's trotter in it.

Tasted like “what if US won the Vietnam War?”
Kind of glad we didn’t. ?♂️
Ox tail is tough and hard to eat, needs more braising.
The “thicker noodles” that waitress claimed to be the regular original noodles were more like fettuccine version of rice noodles.
If they wanted Northern style pho, they could have at least had some fish sauce at the table.
Soup was good, and portion was more soup than noodle and meat.
I suggest getting something that’s not pho because it was just… alright yet expensive.
Also, very hard to get attention of host/waitress with restaurant more than half empty. Seems understaffed.

Nice space. Cocktail decent. Decent food, a little salty but herbs were super fresh and good portions. A service a little slow but friendly. A bit over priced.

I ordered Vịt Nướng Chao. Noodles were lukewarm. Only 3 okras, cut in half. The sauce that came with it was very salty, couldn't taste anything besides salty fish sauce, not sure if it was supposed to be peanut sauce. Meat was cooked perfectly though, service was great, atmosphere was nice too.
