50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Seattle

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“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.“

“Really good sandwiches. They take a bit of time to make so order a bit more ahead of time than you'd think, assume the pickup time listed on delivery apps will be at least 5 min too soon, or visit on a nice day when you won't mind the wait.“

“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!“

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

“Previously a 7 year resident of the community, I was tipped about this restaurant by an area resident 3 years into living in Seattle back in 2011. After the first time ordering, I later became a frequent customer. Definitely, a good place for Pho in Seattle!“

“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.“

“awesome food and great,very friendly service!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Ramie offers a modern take on Vietnamese cuisine that really stands out from the usual spots. As Vietnamese ourselves, we were extremely impressed by the quality of the ingredients, the craftsmanship behind the dishes, and the attentive service.

The bánh tiêu was a pleasant surprise—served with butter and packed with rich sesame flavor. The balut duck egg dish was creative and beautifully executed, while still keeping the traditional flavors intact. The garlic noodles were another highlight: freshly made in-house and cooked perfectly al dente. The chicken dish was also fantastic, super flavorful and paired nicely with grilled kale.

Overall, a really memorable dining experience. Ramie does a great job blending tradition with a modern approach, and it’s definitely a place we’d recommend checking out.“

“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“

“Shattuck and Tristan were great!“

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

“To-go Pho $20 (steak + brisket). Super fresh, clean, and lots of meat. I hate when pho comes with hardly any meat but Pho Viet Anh has LARGE portions. The pho broth is on the sweeter side if you prefer that style. Everything is clean and nicely packaged - One size pho.“

“Love it here! Great neighborhood spot. Service is quick, everyone is really friendly, great casual vibe. The food is good value for the price and they have the best wings I’ve had in Seattle (fish sauce wings specifically).
We have liked everything we have tried on the menu“

“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!“

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

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

“OBSESSED with the fish sauce wings here. Whenever we bring them to a party, people ask where they’re from cuz they’re so good! Perfectly fried, with the satisfying crunch of a crispy wing coated in a sweet sticky garlic sauce. Call ahead to place your order (same day seems to be ok). Also the shop keeper is super friendly and full of jokes.“

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

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

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

“A very interesting blend of flavors. Ive tried about 1/4th of the menu now, and theres a lot of things ive had here ive never seen or tasted anywhere else.

I honestly couldnt define the genre here, other than to say its a fusion of American and Asian items, in the most delicious of ways.“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“i am so glad they reopen literally just across where they were originally!!! they have the ABSOLUTE BEST Veggie Pho. my partner and my friends would get the non-veggie ones and they always say its the best pho around Seattle. We all always finish our order, soup and everything. trust, theyre that girl for sure.“

“And great Vietnamese food.“

“My absolute favorite! I have a slight obsession with bahn mi sandwiches and Pho Aroma has my favorite - perfect ratio of meat to bread to veggies. I also love their rice dishes and recently tried the crispy noodle stir fry which is my current obsession! The owners are also the absolute kindest people and it’s just a really cozy places to have a meal.“

“We visited Aroom with our family and absolutely loved the experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the coffee is excellent, and the interior is very stylish and thoughtfully designed.

The service truly stands out attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming, which makes you want to come back again. A special thank you to the team: our little son accidentally spilled his hot coffee, and they immediately made a new one for him. That level of care really touched us.

Wishing you great success and continued growth in your business. We will definitely be coming back - Aroom has become one of our favorite coffee shops.“

“Pho Vietnam deserves to be a contender for one of the best pho cafes in North Seattle. After spending the entirety of my life eating pho around the greater Seattle area; this is the most consistent, no-nonsense, soul-affirming bowl of soup I've found, by a large margin.

The nuoc cham that arrives with their egg rolls is made in house with pepper flake and grated carrot. They do not add corn syrup. It should also be noted, the carrot is an extremely well thought out way to balance the fishy-acidic sauce.

Their chili paste at the table is also house made with what seems to be palm sugar. It is delicious. Use one of the small sauce dishes they provide table side and pair it with their hoisin.“

“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.“

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

“My party ordered tofu spring rolls, veggie broth pho and bun bo hue. Both phos were exceptional - perfectly salted+fatted. BBH had a bright balance of lemongrass and shrimp paste. Wish the spring rolls had more herbs in them (either cilantro mint or basil)“

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

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

“100% RECOMMENDED!

It was our first time dining here. The food was DELICIOUS, HEALTHY, and FAST. We are so amazed by the portion, too! We have enough to pack home for a second meal! The veggies were very fresh, the meat was full of flavors, and they had rice, noodles, and bread for different starch choices.

The staff were very friendly! No can complaint at all!

Oh right!! We love it so much that on their ordering machine, the tip suggestions were 3%, 5%, and 8%. Like, brothers and sisters. Can you recall the last time you saw that in an ordering machine? Last time I checked, the ice cream shop and coffee shops suggested 20%, 25%, and 30%. Ughhh, even for this reason only, I'm dead on supporting CrackleMi, not to mention that their food and people are so great“

“I was going to buy a teriyaki next door but it was closed so I decided to check this place out. I ordered the grilled chicken with rice and it was delicious. I also ordered the tofu banh mi and it was better than Saigon deli in my opinion. I will go back again to try other food.“

“I’m a bit of a pho snob (shout out to SF’s Kevin’s Noodle House #2 - iykyk) and this is hands down the best pho I had had in Seattle. Broth was robust. Noodles were the best consistency. Extras were fresh. And the staff was incredibly welcoming. I made the mistake of going to A Nam Pho on 35th. Never again!! You can feel the care that goes into a plate of food here. 10/10 recommend.“

“Broth is always great and fresh ingredients always used, never ever disappointed here. The outside isnt the most inviting looking (barred for safety I assume) however don’t be shy. Inside is clean, fully equipped with all your soup needs lol. Owner is a really kind Uncle. Recommend for sure. 😊“

“I live close to here and come here often. Everything I’ve ever had has been really good to great. The calamari is fantastic. Dont expect them to wait on you hand and foot. They give you the menu take you oder after a few minutes and will fill your water if they see its low. They are not gonna ask you if everything is good every 5 minutes. Great place to come eat in a very chill environment“

“Good banh mi

Bread and quality of meat were both good. My only complaint was that there's too much meat, but most people probably like that.
It's got a typical low-key Asian restaurant atmosphere. In other words, it's not polished nor pretty. But the food is good.

The coffee was good, though a bit heavy on the condensed milk.
There's free jasmine tea and chili oil set out.“

“What a wonderful spot and a perfect stop after visiting Kubota Garden. The dining room was clean and spacious, and the service prompt and friendly. The bun bo hue was delicious and a welcome change from the salt bomb broths I’ve become accustomed to from Vietnamese noodle soups in Seattle. The flavors were nuanced and not too heavy or salty. I especially enjoyed the tender pork knuckle and the (homemade?) small meatballs flecked with what tasted and appeared to be makrut lime leaves. An easy place for kids - my 5 year old slurped up his plain pho.“

“Delicious food and friendly service“

“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!“

“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 :)“
