Just out of an appt, but needing something before errands, I glanced at the menu online from the Shoreline Goodwill parking lot, and figured I'd go have some soup. Well, I got some soup, the dining room IS appealing, and the restroom was clean enough (save grimy doorhandle and light switch) but that's about all I can recommend at this time. There was one party sitting by the door, seemingly waiting for takeout. I asked to sit near the back of the dining room, and though I was RIGHT under the minisplit unit, it never came on. I realized the staff was working in his jacket. Not sure the health department approves of having the public in an unheated venue. It seems the staff member, busy with set up including vacuuming and opening a shipment of boxes, is not adept at English, or quite shy. I awkwardly learned one orders via app. Well, ok. No opportunity to ask about the menu. I decided against ordering tea, but then, no refills on water were offered. No one checked on me to see if I wanted anything else, much less a container for remaining food: I decided it wasn't worth it. I think I sat at least :10 realizing this, while clearing some email. Despite leaving my credit card visible, the staff member loitered at the desk, waiting for me. Very unfortunately, the credit card service failed during check out, and I had no cash. First the manager was called in, and then a telephone call was placed for me to speak to another party, who asked if I'd send him the balance (huh?) Then I was asked to send it via the same app I used to order: that would have been fine, but it wants me to register my credit card. I'm not interested in registering my credit card for more than one-off purchases. One other party, also keeping coat on, had a simple order of noodles, hot and sour soup I guess, and a soda. She clued in on the card reader problem, handed them cash and jetted. I decided I'd wait this out. Either the credit card service would aright itself, or they'd see their way to waving me off from a $15 purchase, $8 of it sitting cold on the table. The latter happened. Took maybe :10. I cleared some email. The menu here IS the same as the Lin dumpling restaurant of Greenlake. The signage outside does NOT indicate this, and the menu I saw online was different, so there's some significant continuity/coordination concerns. I'll be hopeful for them, as a business, but that's just a lot of concerns for what should have been a pretty quick and easy lunch.

Underrated spot. Food was great, we got fried buns, green beans, short ribs, and won ton soup with chicken. Name is a bit of a misnomer, there’s no pho, just Chinese food.

Trust me on this, one of the worst Pho's I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and get anything else but this. I ordered the beef pho. Broth tasted like straight up water with bullion flavoring, noodles were very soft and soggy, the beef was meat you use for stews - very rough and chewy. Bao's was alright tho

The general tso's chicken was very good, great flavor and crispy crunchy texture. Ratio of meat to batter. 10/10 The soup dumplings were also very good! 10/10 The pho would honestly get a 4/10 from me, the broth was pretty good, but the meat was not done with restaurant quality in my opinion, the aromatics were also not looking the freshest and the noodles were a bit soggy. Although the quantity of noodles, aromatics and meat was fair. The seared beef bun was not crispy enough in my opinion, but it wasn't terrible perhaps a 6.25/10
