Very friendly customer service. We tried the pandan and taro pastries and they were delicious. We also got the grilled pork and shrimp vermicelli, grilled pork and fried egg banh mi and fried rice. Everything was sooooo good. We don't live in the area but if we are ever out this way rise and shine will definitely be on our list of places to stop at.

Let me tell you the good things first. A year ago, I told you the truth. The food is fabulous. The hours are good. The bathroom is clean. There is parking if you go during **off peak** times. Most of the those things are still the same. Here is an update. Sadly, within the last 6 weeks, the owner must have gotten tired and very sad about certain things. She believes she must lecture to folks who can understand Vietnamese. Examples? [1] She became upset that some folks would make phone orders and not pick up their sandwiches. I got the lecture about "Please don't call in orders if you're *not* going to pick it up." I've never called in an order. I've come in; paid for my food. Ate it, cleaned up what I could, thanked them and left. [2] She has a high need to over explain and complain. She doesn't have adequate boundaries within her conversation. If I don't want to eat bean sprouts in this or that; or if I prefer something and not the other; none of which is a special request ... eventually, she will do what's asked but you must endure an earful before you get your food. English speakers & those who do not understand The Viet Language do not have to endure the lectures. Please, If you have it; sell it. I don't need a big lecture about how she makes the food; the fact that she can't make anything super fast; that I've possibly come at a bad time, etc. Your business hours are when you are "open for business." Let's do business more professionally. If you are the business owner; Offer an item. If you have it available, simply say "Yes, it's available." If you don't have the item in inventory, simply reply, "No we are out of stock." Please let the customer pay for the item and ask for whatever they wish -- if their wish is unreasonable, let them know that. Please MOVE ON from the lectures, complaining and unnecessary talk. You have a product; sell it. Let the customer order; take their money and let them eat. That's it. Please stop over-complicating things. Life is too short. Either you do have or do not have an item to sell. Please, if you have a need to lecture; please do so to your children. Please refrain from the same antics with your customers. Thank you.

The sweetest and kindest people who makes amazing food consistently! They just don't miss and you are safe with pretty much any dish you choose. The portions are big and the prices are reasonable. This is one of our favorite Vietnamese restaurant, and we've had a lot of Vietnamese food!! The atmosphere is casual and chill.

Absolutely love this place. Family owned, Banh Mi’s are great. Growing up in a Vietnamese household, we’d come up to Seattle from Olympia to get banh mi’s. Rise and shine is one of the restaurants that replicates that same taste I remember. Highly recommend.

For me, this is the top Banh Mi in the region. It’s the bread - it’s both flaky and soft, in just the right ways and right amounts. Perfect balance of all ingredients. The kindness and attentiveness of the staff is also next level. Absolutely amazing.

The grilled pork and pork belly sandwiches were incredible. The baugettes were soft with just the right amount of crunch, and were obviously freshly baked. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. This is a new favorite spot for us, and we cant wait to try everything on their menu!

Our favorite banh mi place! The grilled pork sandwich is our favorite! Staff are incredibly friendly, fast, and accommodated for our food allergies (thank you!!). The desserts are really yummy, everything is fresh. Space is clean and free parking in the back. We've come back a few times already, and always look forward to our next visit.Vegetarian options: You can ask about options or how menu items can be altered to fit dietary needs.Dietary restrictions: You can ask about options or how menu items can be altered to fit dietary needs.
Visited this family-style Vietnamese spot in Seattle multiple times, and it's hands-down my favorite.Tried almost everything on the menu, and everything is outstanding. They offer unique dishes not found in typical Vietnamese restaurants, with the banh mi and pho being particularly authentic and delicious. Don't skip the deep-fried spring and egg rolls - both are a must.Service is exceptional, with very friendly staff and sometimes the chef personally serving you, showing their dedication to quality and customer experience.Just a heads-up, they close early, so come in good time to enjoy the full menu.
This review is long overdue. I always forget to take a pic before I eat my sandwich so I never get the chance to leave a review with a pic lol. This is by far my all time favorite Bahn Mi spot! They seriously put love into what they make. I could eat the 5 spice tofu bahn mi every single day for the rest of my life, that's how good we're talking! And on top of that, their service is amazing! 10/10 for sure!
