50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Seattle

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“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.“

“Came for Happy Hour alone and decided to order each item from the bar menu and had myself a tasting menu. It was plenty of food... I really should have stopped at 3 or 4 HH portions. I highly recommend the garlic prawns, the chili cumin pork ribs, the duck spring rolls, and the tomato salad (with the salted egg). The bartender also poured me two exquisite cocktails... a sidecar and then a paloma. Yum!“

“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!“

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

“Great coffee spot in Wallingford! I got the coconut coffee with and sesame latte less sweetness, and both were AMAZING. The sesame cream is rich and flavorful, no wonder it is their most popular drink. The coconut coffee was so fresh and unique and I instantly fell in love. Remember to go with less sugar for better flavor. Highly recommend!“

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

“Shattuck and Tristan were great!“

“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.“

“*Update, I came back and order my normal two specials, and am very happy with my decision. The quantity now matches with the quality.

It looks like they change owner/name? The sandwiches is still good but it doesn’t overflow with meat/pate/condiment like before, and it’s noticeable. I normally drive 30 minutes out of my way for these but now I think I’ll only get it if I’m in the area.“

“Good food affordable and friendly staff …“

“awesome food and great,very friendly service!“

“Hands-down the best Vietnamese spot I’ve come across in years. The food is excellent, the portions are big, prices are fair, the vibe inside is nice, and their customer service is as good as it gets.

I recently grabbed someone else’s to go order (my fault) and they straightened everything out quickly without a hassle and made sure I got my correct order.“

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

“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.“

“The entire staff is a joy to have been served by! I especially enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere and ambiance of the location. All I know is the bar is also a whole vibe🥰🥰 Jon is my favorite bartender in the world. You guys please go and check it out!!! You will not regret!!!! Period👏🏿“

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

“Finally a place that serves more unique Vietnamese dishes beyond the more commonly known pho, rice noodle bowls and fresh rolls! Love that I can get Bun cha Ha Noi, Bahn Beo and Banh Cuon! Atmosphere is simple and I wouldn’t give the service 5 stars, but I didn’t go there expecting perfection in these areas. I went for the food, and it is solid! Definitely a place to come if you’re wanting to try some new Vietnamese dishes you can’t find elsewhere.“

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

“The only place in Seattle to get Banh Mi and Banh Cuon. I plan my cycling routes to ensure I can stop here to pick up a banh mi or two, and spare myself from eating bars or gels. Service is courteous and quick. Most people I see there seem like regulars. Incredible range of food and ingredients offered here. I also love the building they are in - reminisce the time when the city had more character.“

“They are known for their Bun Bo Hue which is amazing but my favorite is the #6 The dry pho with minced pork.“

“And great Vietnamese food.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Do you need quality banh mi for a reasonable price? Q has it and they have a variety of fillings. I almost always get the grilled pork. They also have decent hum bao and it's all incredibly affordable. They do sell a lot of baguettes and a few other baked goods that I havent tried but their banh mi is what keeps me coming back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Edit- adding prices from Cap Hill location as of 11/2024.
Oh and they included a cannoli with the order! It was delicious!!

Consistent and good across locations (I’ve been to Cap Hill and Ballard). A sweetness to the broth that is good plain or doctored up with hoisin and sriracha. I usually get #2 Tai Chin and the meat is great for the portion size.

It’s just getting a tad expensive (~$14 for a medium to go before tip)“

“Just great food. Fantastic food. Great service“

“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“

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

“This place is so freaking cute and the owners are amazing. There is a story about the owner on the table which is an awesome read. They make everything by scratch and homemade. They're food and service was excellent 👌 I highly recommend them!!!“

“I like everything I ordered ranged from a bao, pho and others (see photos).

The bao (with a piece of stew pork belly inside) is surprising good. I think I will copy.. hahaha.. never saw this dish before. The bun is really soft. The spring onion and cilantro and a slice of green apple make it very refreshing.

Spring roll is quite good.“

“Pho Aroma was fantastic. Their pho was delicious (love the option for a small vs large size), the sandwiches quite tasty, and the rolls were a knock out. The experience is no frills for sure, but there is an outside patio and card is accepted. Will absolutely be back!“

“This place has my favorite veggie pho. It's so good, so fast, so nourishing. Super reasonably priced. Their chili oil is AMAZING. Can't recommend enough. The owner is super nice as well.

Vegetarian options: Veggie pho and tofu banh mi both excellent, this is the spot :+)“

“Ah-MAZING! We are visiting Seattle and staying at an AirBNB nearby, we found this place on a whim and it did not disappoint. The pho broth was flavorful and delicious. All fresh, crisp vegetables. Our kids LOVED the potstickers and teriyaki chicken. It was all sooooo good. Family run, so glad to support this family. Do not be turned off by the decor, it is very busy inside the restaurant, but food is fantastic. Recommend for take out!!“

“I ordered rare steak and meatball along with crispy shrimp and pork rolls for take out. The atmosphere looked super nice- so maybe next time I will eat it there.

The only "suggestions" I have are online ordering if possible and less sauce on the side for the rolls (save some money for your business)

The woman that took my order and handled the pickup is super sweet and friendly!“

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

“I get the spicy tofu bahn mi regularly, and there's also a dark soy bahn mi I haven't tried. The tofu is marinated so well and the sandwich is not dry without mayo (and not soggy). The sign at the counter says the tofu bahn mis are vegan if you get them without mayo, so their bread must be vegan. The spring rolls are pretty good too but leave a little to be desired.“

“Fav pho in Seattle! The most homey pho that is the only place I’ve found so far that comes close enough to my mom’s cooking! The aunties working are the sweetest and will remember your order too. 10/10. More than reasonable price and the portion sizes are huge.“

“Went to Tammy's Deli & Bakery. Ordered the grilled pork Vietnamese sandwich. Super delicious and very fresh tasting. The atmosphere was very pleasant and cozy! Also, outstanding customer service!!! Highly recommended!!! Love love love it 😍!!“
