50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Seattle

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“A great little spot to pick up a delicious Bahn Mi. I had the traditional cold cut Bahn Mi and it was excellent. The first thing I noticed was how the bread felt. It was perfect, crunchy on that outside and soft on the inside. And the amount of meat that they stuff it with is simply awesome! I do wish that it had more of the pickle veg to balance out all of that meat. The place itself is tiny with pretty much a counter to place your orders. There is also a self serve kiosk if you wish to place an order that way. There’s only two very small tables outside. Other than like you’ll have to take it to go.“

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

“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.“

“awesome food and great,very friendly service!“

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

“Shattuck and Tristan were great!“

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

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

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

“The black sesame foam for the Gloomy Matcha has me in a chokehold…. I tried recreating it at home, but it comes nowhere near as close to what you can get here. I came right at opening time before my flight took off because I just had to get another Gloomy Matcha 😂 it’s THAT good. Wish we had an Aroom on the east coast 😭

Right down the street is a bakery, which is so nice! Come to Aroom for your morning coffee/matcha, then head to Sea Wolf for some bread.“

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

“We ended up ordering take away since they are near closing and we didn’t like being rushed. Menu was extended. We had pho , grilled and teriyaki chicken. Big portions. Lots of veggies. Never missed the sauces. Recommended for a break in the usual western cuisine.“

“Such a fun place to grab a craft cocktail and some pho. The drinks were very unique and the pho was surprisingly very good. We also tried the Tofu Dip and the spring rolls. The dip was delicious but very rich and the spring rolls were very fresh. We definitely ordered too much food but it was delicious and a fun experience.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good food affordable and friendly staff …“

“A welcome addition to the South Seattle restaurant scene. Pho was delicious and generously proportioned; my partner was pleased with her fried rice. It took longer than expected to take our order, but then our meal arrived so fast I didn't even have time to enter the WiFi password. Nice bright setting was much improved when the rude parents who failed to quiet their screeching toddler finally left.“

“Very happy that we went to this restaurant for our pho cravings! The location is (sadly) a bit dodgy but once you are inside you will be greeted by the lovely staff. Pho tasted like my mom‘s: cooked with a lot of love. 💕 if you are around this area you should definitely try this place! Highly recommended 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Very kind hearted genuine people. They were very hospitable to my friends and I while we were getting their van fixed. The way we were treated; it's heart warming to know there's still good people like this in the world during these hard times.“

“I have been always wants to go back because of the great price and authentic Vietnamese food. But it is close most of the time in the weekday. I have talk to the owner while he was singing, he said he closes the store when the daylight is ended.“

“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“

“And great Vietnamese food.“

“I like to get a banh mi here for lunch sometimes. It's always good, I really like the pork. Decent amount of food too for the price. I tried the pho once, to-go, I'd recommend getting that if you're going to dine in. They package it really well though, so it's still decent to-go, but I feel like it'd be better dining in.“

“Try the Obama Noodle...it’s really good!“

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

“When you think of a solid, straightforward bowl of pho, this place has it. No tamarind-kumquat margaritas or lychi gin & tonics here. Just consistent, generous, fresh, fast, and affordable food. I’ve tried their spring rolls and banh mi, too - all solid. I was surprised today when the server brought out a free egg roll. I thought they had made a mistake, but the server told me that his mom (the owner) has insisted on keeping prices low despite inflation and tariffs and ADDED a complementary egg roll to every order. ❤️(She’s doing this in contrast to the sister location which has increased prices.)“

“The number 25 Chicken Pho (rice noodles with chicken in chicken broth) was the best thing I have ever had. It was flavorful while still being simple. It wasn't super filling, and my mom and I determined that the medium and large sizes are mainly a difference in broth, not noodles. So consider adding extra noodles to get more food. Our server was very nice and easy to talk to. The food came our fast and was hot and fresh without being too hit that you couldn't eat it. The atnosphere feels comforatble and similar to a hole in the wall place, though it was open and had plenty of room. 10/10 recommend, I wish I lived closer so I could go more often. I didn't get a photo before I ate it all, but here's my after to at least show the broth :)“

“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!“

“TLDR: strong plate of food inside a dark plaza with friendly serviceWe ordered a pork rice plate to share and though the piece of pork was a bit thin, it was well cooked and flavorful. The broken rice helped absorb the flavors of the meat and the fish sauce. The small soup was great on a cold day as well.“

“Decent broth (does have MSG) , they do jave other MSG free options ok the menu. The friend rice can use some help bit overall it's decent.“

“This is by far the best coffee I have had in Seattle! Their drinks are so good and unique, it’s always hard to decide what to get but I love the cinnamon phin. The staff is extremely nice and welcoming, this place should be on a Michelin guide!“

“So we rolled up at this place at like 9:30 and it was confusing because one sign said open and one sign said closed. The guy explained to us that after a certain time at night they are focused more on karaoke that on food but if you don't mind the super loud karaoke music you can still order. Which is what we did. The food is really good and the music was good.“

“pretty good food and first experience“

“As soon as you walk in, the smell of freshly baked baguettes hits you immediately. There’s no other bakery in the area that has this effect.

There’s not a lot of hype around this place, but there’s always a line here, even on a random weekday. The banh mi is so worth it., and ingredients are always fresh. One of my favorite spots for banh mi.“

“Authentic Vietnamese Food that’s delicious. Trek over to West Seattle and order some to enjoy with friends. It’s take out only, no dining inside but well worth your trip.“

“Tony’s Bakery is my new go to place. A fun and happy place one stop shopping for your appetite. We were having a birthday party and this is what I ordered: Decorated chocolate fillings cake wings(fish sauce glazed vegetarian fried spring rolls shrimp fried rice fresh shrimp rolls chicken pan fried noodles Everything was delicious and the owner made sure everything was perfect! Thank you I will be back again and again and again!“

“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!“

“THAT WAS SO GOOD! I had shrimp spring rolls and chicken banh mi. I'm so full I can't stand it!! Pricing was very reasonable.“

“This is a Cap hill neighborhood classic, no frills no thrills, just good pho. Ive been to this location many times and t never disappoints:) ! Great service , quick food, tasty broth! As a sweet treat girly, I appreciate the cream puff you get.“

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

“Definitely recommend the best Pho I’ve ever had! I’ll definitely come back and awesome service! Thank you!“

“I stopped by here for some quick food before a Seahawks game, and I was incredibly surprised by how good this place was
I got the Grilled Pork Bahn Mi, and what surprised me the most was how cheap it was. Compared to how expensive everything around me was, the fact that I could get this for as low as $10 instantly drew my eye. Considering this price, I honestly wasn't expecting much, but this actually turned out very good

I've had a bunch of pork bahn mi's in the past, and this definitely ranks up there as one of the best.
The baguette is super crispy on the outside, yet it didn't feel chewy or hard to get through like you'd often feel with bread that is too hard. Despite the crispiness it was still not too difficult to bite through and get through both sides of the sandwich
I loved the amount of mayo slathered across both sides of this. When making a sandwich like this, sauce is exceedingly important because the risk of making the sandwich feel dry is high. However, in this case, it added to the flavor a lot

The vegetables as a part of this were really good too
The highlight of this sandwich was the pork. It was in relatively large circular pieces scattered throughout, and was abundant throughut the sandwich. This pork was cooked really well, super fatty and flavorful, and you could tell it was recently grilled because of the char marks on the outside - which just added to that grill flavor. It was fantastic

For the price, you really can't beat how good this was, and it was pretty filling as well

Overall, a tiny place that offers an incredibly good version of this classic sandwich. 9/10“

“Best Pho in Cap Hill! You can taste the love in the broth. Have been going to this place for years since it was a cross the street. So excited that they re-opened in this new space. The atmosphere is great and always wonderful service run by the family.
You must try the pork fresh rolls, they are incredible! Relativity inexpensive prices for Seattle. Can't speak highly enough about this place!“
