A lot of meat
Nice spot to grab Pho and other Vietnamese fare in Pioneer Square. A little pricey compared to other Pho in the area, but tasty.

Food was amazing (Chicken curry) but service was sadly just not. My server seemed to not want me there and was totally put off when I asked for more rice (which I would understand if someone was just trying to get more for free, but he was happy to charge me another $2.50 for a partially filled second rice bowl.) I'd go back for the food, but I'd hope that I just caught him on a bad day or that the other servers are better.

Large menu with many options, including meat, fish, and vegetarian. The banh mi is huge and filled to the brim. Lovely area inside to sit and eat also. Good, central location.

So bummed about my experience. I’ve gotten takeout/delivery from here plenty and it was fine. Went to dine in today and the fish was old and “fishy” tasting. I used to work foodservice and I get fish at restaurants all the time, this is what improperly stored/handled fish tastes like. I barely ate anything, just some of the rice and veggies that were on the side. Such a disappointment. No one asked about it. I left 90% of my food on my plate and adamantly didn’t want to take it with me. Not even a question asked. Accidents happen I guess, but checking your product stock is important. It can make people really sick. Won’t come back or order again, too worried at this point

Very inattentive service and just okay food. Better Vietnamese food nearby. Sadly most of the bad service was the male waiter.

Friendly service and a good selection of healthy and tasty food. We had both tofu/vegetarian and a chicken curry, which was pretty spicy without any indication. This could probably have been expected, but that is precisely why air conditioning in the store would have been appropriate. Overall, it's really tasty and worth the visit.

First meal in Seattle for a short vacation, and this was a fantastic start!
We ordered the Lemongrass Chicken Wings for an appetizer, and Yangzhou fried rice and the Beef Bahn Mi for entrees. The wings had great flavor and a slight crisp to them. Paired with sweet chili sauce, they were very good. The Yangzhou fried rice really impressed me for the different flavors together and how the rice wasn’t at all mushy. It seemed like it needed a little sauce for that last bit of flavor (which we requested), but it was a very well made dish overall. There was shrimp and sausage with vegetables in it, and even though it was very simple, I liked it a lot. The Bahn Mi was the star of the show, and an amazing price for what you get. The lemongrass beef with the crispy French baguette was an incredible bite and so juicy. Pickled veggies inside made for a good crisp accompaniment, and there was a little bowl of chicken & rice congee, I believe. It was great to dip the sandwich in, and also good by itself to balance the big flavors of the bahn mi.
The location was great and we sat at the window bar seating to watch people go by. Great service as well, highly recommended!!

Excellent vegetarian banh mi! I'm not usually a fan of fried tofu, but this was really well done--not at all greasy, lots of flavor, fresh veg. Also these are massive banh mi for the price
