50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Seattle

“The food is so delicious 🫰I love it.If you come to seattle you must try it .“

“I just discovered this place this month and have already been back a second time. Excellent sandwiches, and quite affordable for West Seattle ($10 per sandwich with no additions). So far I've tried the pork, grilled chicken, and meat loaf bahn mi. All great. Will return!“

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“10/9/2021 Recommend? Yes. I arrived right after they open with my luggage because I was starving from my long train ride in from Whitefish, MT. The server was super nice. He got me hot tea and banh cam to settle in with. I ordered bo bia (autumn rolls), vegan pho, and roasted pork banh mi (to go). The banh cam had a thick dough and it was huge. Two of those could've been a whole meal. Everything I ordered was delicious and they were so kind! My favorite was definitely the banh mi. It was even good after I had refridgerated it. The best part was the vegan butter and vegan pate. I absolutely loved it, best vegan banh mi I've had.“

“We stumbled upon this little Cafe while waiting for a train to come in. we had the Bánh mi drip! Absolutly amazing,so much flavor!!! the broth to dip in was so yummy! I'd drive the 4 hrs to eat here again!“

“Hands down, the best pho you’ll find in Seattle! This place is killing it! I’m incredibly lucky to live in the neighborhood and I’ve been coming here since the day they opened. We were one of their first guests in those early days and eat here so much the owners know me by name! If I were qualified to give food awards, this place would win my 2024 Best of Seattle award! 🥇👏🏻✨ Ps. They do not accept reservations - it’s first come first serve. Around 6pm, they go on a waitlist and a line starts to form outside. Don’t bother calling to get on the waitlist - they won’t even do that for me! You have to show up in person to get on the list.“

“Do yourself a favor — EAT AT LOTUS POND. (1) Carpool to Lotus Pond. The more the merrier. (2) Appetizers: You can’t lose. Everything is good. Me? I eat the Imperial Rolls. Get two orders of the egg rolls aka Imperial Rolls — one order won’t be enough for 2 people. Start there, you’ll be very happy. Also order the pork belly on the skewers please, No regrets. It’s very good. (3) Noodle Soups. Every bowl Is a winner. Pho is great, no question there. However, you absolutely must eat the SEAFOOD with special Red Noodle. (4) Early enough during the day, drink the Viet Ice Coffee. (5) Too bad they don’t have enough staff/hands to make the BANH CUON but they make up for it in many ways. Try everything on the menu. I’m not a relative. I don’t get money or fame for recommending Lotus Pond. I just know authentic good food when I see and eat it. Try it. You will leave with a full, joyous stomach … you will be very satisfied. Happy eating!“

“Order at the door and the seat you. Party of 6 or more they auto charge gratuity incase you aren’t anticipating it. Food is great. They don’t come to check on you but probably due to covid/social distancing. Easy atmosphere. Parking is very limited so be prepared.“

“This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had.

We ordered the fresh summer rolls, fried spring rolls, special combination pho, fresh lemonade, and coconut water. Every single item was outstanding, but the pho was the star. The broth was rich, flavorful, and tasted like it had been simmering for hours. Everything was incredibly fresh.

As a first-generation Vietnamese American, this meal brought back so many memories. The fried spring rolls instantly reminded me of eating my grandma’s homemade spring rolls growing up in Hawaii. The pho and fresh lemonade, on the other hand, transported me back to Vietnam. For a moment, I felt like I was a kid again sitting at a table with family.

Pho Ba is definitely a hole-in-the-wall, and the surrounding area isn’t the prettiest, but don’t let that fool you. Sometimes the most authentic food comes from places exactly like this.

If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese food in Seattle, this is it. I’ll be thinking about this meal for a long time. It’s one of the best Vietnamese meals I’ve ever had.“

“awesome food and great,very friendly service!“

“We did the spicy beef pho and although it had a good flavor it did not taste like a Pho broth. Was missing the aromatics of the anise, cinnamon, etc.

Possibly due to the Spicy broth choice, tasted more like a BBH than Pho.

Staff was nice, cozy environment.“

“friendly staff, great coffee. Will definitely be back for more.“

“A pho place with pool tables and a bar, or is it a bar with pool tables that serves pho? Either way, while the King county public health poster deems this place as only ok, I think it was great! Pho was great! Service was done with a smile. I asked for extra meat in my large pho but I don't think they put it in, but oh well. Still good noms.“

“We have come here for many years. It been awhile since we came back. We like their new menu looks like it been recently updated. We ordered our usual of: -Vietnamese Sweet & Sour Catfish Soup -Catfish in Clay Pot/Stew -Rice Today we also tried: -Crispy Oysters -Salted Fish Fried Rice -Three Color Dessert -Thai Dessert It wasn't too busy today, we got a table right away for a family of our. The servers were nice and friendly. Our desserts were bought out first, and soon after the main dishes. Our usual dishes is the tasty as usual. Our favorite as a family is the fried oysters. Our young kids liked it best with the sweet sauce (not spicy). The sizing of the oysters are large and it tasted excellent. Overall, it was a wonderful dining night with the whole family. We will be back as usual! We highly recommend this place! They got some of the dishes we love that keeps us coming back for more!“

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

“service was excellent. food was superior. highly recommend“

“every time my partner & i go on a vacation, she is in the search for the best matcha (for context, she works at a tea shop. so it’s not fully coming from a pretentious place). this place hits the S tier.
amazing matcha. phenomenal Vietnamese coffee. we will definitely be back next time we’re in town.
(also we got the black sesame matcha & black sesame coffee & they were both killer)“

“Ramie is such a beautiful and unique Vietnamese fusion restaurant in Seattle! I really love how they take traditional Vietnamese flavors and ingredients and give them a creative, modern twist without losing the comforting flavors that make Vietnamese cuisine so special 🥰

Everything we tried was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and had such a nice balance of flavors. The atmosphere is also warm, stylish, and intimate, making it a great spot for a date night, special occasion, or even just a nice dinner with friends.

One of my favorite things about Ramie is that their menu changes with the seasons. I think that’s such a fun concept because there’s always something new to look forward to and try. Even though we had a great experience this time, I already have a reason to come back and explore more of their new seasonal dishes!

Definitely recommend Ramie if you’re looking for Vietnamese food that feels familiar but also fresh, creative, and elevated. Can’t wait to come back and see what they have on the next seasonal menu! ❤“

“I don't claim to be a banh mi connoisseur, but this was the best banh mi I have ever had. Totally not expected from a little stall in a grocery food court.
I've also had their shrimp fresh rolls and fried fish balls before as well which were also tasty. I'll have to try the pho next.“

“Shattuck and Tristan were great!“

“I visited for the first time this evening, and I got the pho brisket. I was really happy with how the broth flavor was as well as the portion and temperature of the food.

I live pretty close by so I look forward to visiting this place again soon.“

“The owners were so nice and welcoming. The food was delicious! I ordered the pad thai with chicken. I ordered the level 3 spicy and it was perfect if you want some spicy but not burning your mouth. The chicken is tender and not dry at all. The pho broth was delicious as well. It has so much flavor I could just sip the broth from a cup. Definitely recommend this place!“

“Menu is awesome, quick services and good food!“

“Best pho and Vietnamese food I’ve ever had! Super fun place with amazing food. Stopped in and was seated immediately. Every item we tried was outstanding. It’s rare to find a gem that has great service, food, and atmosphere and these people have it figured out. Also, met the owner and she talked to us about how these are her recipes. It just tastes like home cooking and not actual plug and play restaurant food. We’re lifers at this place now! I mean it’s so good we went back the next day.“

“Good foods. Will be back if I’m in town“

“I absolutely love this place! Total hole-in-the-wall (as the best places are) and incredible food. Family-owned! They have online ordering for pickup or delivery, AND btw if you’re vegetarian, they have a vegetarian broth for their pho so 💯 just saying. Pictured here are the 5-spice chicken banh mi, cole slaw salad, and some home-brewed Thai iced tea 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 Also, I normally get grandma le’s egg rolls and oh my god 🤤 highly recommended!“

“Best broth in the Rattle. Lemon grass chicken was perfect and the tea was great. No complaints. Cheap as chips“

“One of the best kept secrets in Seattle. Amazing food at good prices aren’t easy to find. This place nails it. And it’s always a happy experience going in!
Everything is so fresh, flavorful and ample. The sandos are obviously the crown jewel, but don’t forget the veg, rolls and shrimp on sugar cane. Can’t really mess up at Tan Dinh.“

“Whole in a wall Authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Not downtown Seattle kind of menus which u have to pay additional $ for extra meat ! 😂“

“It’s a place locked in time. There is no need for it to be anything other! It’s because they have mastered what they do and that is Pho. It’s a wonderful experience finding a place feels special and I am so glad I have found such a place. Just got get delicious Pho!“

“Best place for lunch in Georgetown hands down“

“Recently tried it cause it was close to my home and it is quickly become a stable of my diet. Good for for very reasonable prices“

“The broth, oh the amazing broth! When we relocated from Austin to Seattle, we were bummed to leave our favorite pho spot behind, but alas, we got pretty close at Pho 4U. The *only* thing that would make this spot a weekly visit for me is if they offered egg noodles as a substitute, but again, the broth is *everything*“

“Delicious brisket pho for lunch today! Server was nice and service was great!“

“Order at the door and the seat you. Party of 6 or more they auto charge gratuity incase you aren’t anticipating it. Food is great. They don’t come to check on you but probably due to covid/social distancing. Easy atmosphere. Parking is very limited so be prepared.“

“DELICIOUS. Had the grilled chicken banh mi (delicious) and tried the strawberry matcha cream soda!! Was surprisingly light and refreshing; it was so good i loved it :) (They have a few other specialty drinks too if you want to try something unique !)

No cash, just a windowed storefront but has benches nearby and a water station outside while you wait. If you've never had phin coffee before be aware it is very strong! XD“

“And great Vietnamese food.“

“We've had a number of meals here now and, Saigon Gardens has been a model consistency. The plate dishes have been very good, and their Pho-Tai has been exceptional. Not sure why some reviews complain about a flavorless broth.

Now the real test will be how good will their food be 18months from now. Common habit for some south Seattle Vietnamese restaurants is the food quality drops off about a year or two of operation.

But, so far so good!“

“I've been to many Vietnamese restaurants, but this one gotta be one of the best ones I've been to! Yesterday was my first time here, and I ordered a Bahn Mi sandwich and fresh Spring Roll to go. The sandwich wass the biggest Bahn Mi I've ever had and so was the fresh Spring Roll! I've been to other places where they're skimpy on the proteins, but not this place! I couldn't even finish them in one sitting! Ate half for dinner and half for breakfast! My new favorite Vietnamese food place!“

“Low key and authentic. Good spring rolls, pho, and rice dishes.“

“Always good service, very friendly. Food is hot and tasty. It’s a treat to eat here.“

“im vietnamese was craving viet rice dishes and been looking for a good viet restaurant. Found Pho My Chau 2; one of the most legit and best vietnamese places in fedway.“

“I loved this small place on Beacon Hill. I was visiting from Detroit and saw it as I walked from the train to where I was staying. I went in an hour before they opened without realizing it, and the friendly owner invited me to come back at lunchtime. I'm glad I did. The owner greeted me again warmly. I had veggie pho with tofu and a Vietnamese coffee, both absolutely delicious. The servers were friendly as well. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Not much atmosphere, but very friendly, satisfying food, and reasonable price. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely go back.“

“While visiting the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle recently, I stopped for lunch at Market Pho. Located along a busy section of Market Street, Market Pho is surrounded by many other shops and restaurants. Arriving for an early lunch, we found the restaurant to be comfortable and quiet. The menu is small but varied, offering a wide selection of pho and sandwiches. My friend and I both had the grilled pork banh mi, which was quite tasty. I would recommend Market Pho to anyone looking for a quick, affordable lunch option in Ballard.“

“Thank you Ba Bar for delivering lunch yesterday to Swedish Hospital healthcare workers!!!! It was so wonderful to take our masks off and enjoy amazing, healthy food. Thank you for thinking of us!“

“Literally amazing. One of the best banh mi’s I’ve had!!! I got the pork one and you can still taste the grilled char on it (in the best way). It’s incredible flavorful and just as good on day two!

Highly recommend CrackleMi! Can’t wait to try their other dishes.“

“Great with allergies. Very good service and reasonable prices!“

“Authentic Pho. Pickled onion or bowl of lard and green knionsnavailable on request. Also has Specialty cuts like crunchy and fatty brisket if you want. Unfortunately, it may be permanently closed. Went there middle of day on a Saturday and was not open 😒“

“The prettiest Jell-O shots ever, well crafted cocktails and delicious snacks. Crab nachos and very cute cup of pho cups were excellent. Recommend early evening/not a weekend and a small group as the space is not large-- you enter through a stairway inside pho bac. Restrooms are on the first floor.“

“Really enjoyed our meal here! We had the shrimp rolls, beef pho, and stir-fried egg noodles. Everything was flavorful and fresh, especially the pho. The broth was comforting and delicious. The shrimp rolls were light and refreshing. The egg noodles were nicely seasoned and had a great “wok hei” flavor. Overall, a great spot for a satisfying Vietnamese meal!“
