50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Seattle

“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.“

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 .“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

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

“Good food affordable and friendly staff …“

“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“

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

“Shattuck and Tristan were 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.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

“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.“

“Amazing food and price and Vietnamese coffee 👍👍👍 at Seattle .
Sorry for the pictures …. We eat almost done and we recognize that take pictures and should let more Asian tourists who is struggling find a good pho …
Should come and try.“

“This was my first pho experience that I absolutely loved. Never been a fan of the noodles in lots of soup. But as a sick child I needed the hot soup. The spicy beef broth and the Crispy vegan roll were both out of this world. And I am quite the picky eater. I tried it with Chicken this time given I was not feeling well. I gotsto come back for the steak and the brisket.“

“Best place for lunch in Georgetown hands down“

“love this place! fresh and clean“

“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.“

“Best bahn mi in Seattle. I’m a big fan for bahn mi (thus have high standards for one) and I crave them a few times a month. Had tried a couple of places in Seattle, Belltown, UDstrict and west Seattle, but they rarely meet my expectations.

This place is my go to! The pork Vietnamese sandwich tasted just right with the traditional topping and paste. The baguette is also perfect. Everything is done the right way.

Also for $11, it was very affordable and easy to grab for lunch when working remotely (i used to live near the store)“

“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“

“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.“

“And great Vietnamese food.“

“Hidden Gem with the Best Phở in Seattle**

Phở Vietnam is the definition of a hole-in-the-wall treasure. Tucked away in Ballard, this unassuming little spot delivers *some of the most soul-warming phở you’ll find anywhere in Seattle*. The broth is rich, clear, and deeply flavorful—the kind that’s clearly been simmering for hours, maybe days. It’s comfort in a bowl.

The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the service is always quick and kind. It’s the kind of place where locals become regulars, and one visit is all it takes to understand why.

No frills, no gimmicks—just pure, perfect phở that hits the spot every single time. If you're a fan of Vietnamese cuisine (or just really, really good soup), this place is not to be missed.

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We regularly visit this spot for a pho lunch or dinner :) The owner is always very friendly and kind. The pho is very tasty. If you’re in the mood for extra veggies, try the “vegetarian pho” (which includes broccoli, cauliflower, carrots) & add meat for a couple bucks extra! Great value, taste, service & hospitality.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Ramie is Vietnamese cuisine, reimagined.

Not your typical pho, bánh mì, or vermicelli stop — this is heritage transformed into art. Chefs Trinh & Thai Nguyen spin tradition into something new: small plates with big personality, seasonal ingredients, and artistic plating that feels like storytelling on a plate.

✨ Atmosphere & Vibe
Modern yet intimate. Capitol Hill energy with warmth: chic décor, cozy lighting, curated cocktails, and plating that feels like fine art. Small enough to feel personal, upscale enough to feel special.

🍴 Food & Menu

Not a huge menu, but curated for different palates.

🌿 Vegetarian options are clearly available.

Bold flavors, innovative twists — this is Vietnamese food through a creative, elevated lens.

Happy Hour (5–8 PM) = oysters, bánh tiêu hollow bread, pickles, seasonal bites.

👨‍👩‍👧 Kid-Friendly? Best for adventurous eaters and teens. Small plates and creative plating may not hit with very young kids, but the vibe is welcoming.

♿ Wheelchair Accessibility Accessible entrance + seating, attentive staff.

🚗 Parking Capitol Hill = limited street parking. Paid lots or rideshare recommended.

✨ Insider Tip
Book a reservation. The menu is evolving, so try a new plate each visit — and don’t miss the cocktails, which are as refined as the food.

Ramie isn’t just dining — it’s Vietnamese culture redefined for Seattle’s future. A must-visit for anyone who wants to taste heritage with a modern edge.

“Oh my god! Where has this place been all this time?! Amazing food, huge portions, and great prices. On top of that, they don’t ask for tips, which I really appreciate. It instantly became one of my favorite spots in Seattle. I ordered twice in the same day! Thanks so much for the hard work.“

“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.)“

“Excellent. I got the combo vermicelli bowl, and it was full of fresh and pickled veggies and greens, the noodles were done just right, and the amount of meat was very generous. I'm happy, will be back!
I got takeout and I really liked their compostable cardboard round box, it kept the food well and looked like it was the least bad option for the environment. I was impressed!“

“I think Monkey Bridge has the best broth in Ballard it has all the right flavors…I like all the other offering that I’ve tried as well but will keep going back for the pho!!! I also really like the wonton soup. Don’t forget they have awesome bahn mi as well!!!“

“Vietnam House is one of those places that feels like a weekend family gathering — no frills, just the comfort of well-executed classics. Their specialty is Cơm Tấm (broken rice), and the menu gives you plenty of ways to experience it.

The go-to order is the Cơm Tấm Sườn Nướng ($11.99) — tender grilled pork chop over fluffy broken rice, simple and satisfying. For something richer, the Cơm Tấm Sườn Bì Chả ($13.25) adds shredded pork and steamed egg for a full trio of textures. If you’re hungry, the Cơm Tấm Đặc Biệt ($14.99) stacks pork chop, shrimp cake, egg, and meatloaf — a full Vietnamese sampler on one plate.

What makes this spot stand out is the portion size and value. Plates run $12–15, come loaded with rice, pickles, and sides, and leave you more than full.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Come here for hearty broken rice combos when you’re craving comfort food without any pretense. It’s not fancy, but it’s exactly what you want from a neighborhood Vietnamese joint.“

“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. 😊“

“This food was AMAZING! 10/10 recommend. Visiting from out of town and I’m so happy we came. The quality of food is stellar and I’m really picky about meat and it was all delicious! I recommend any of the fried rices and the beef & brisket pho! So good“
