50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Shoreline

“This was a hard spot to rate… The food was palatable, but the service really ruined it. Not to mention, it was over 80° out (late June) & no AC & flies swarming our faces. They did not check on us once, to see if we wanted a refreshment refill (which we wanted). Tried getting several people’s attention, by raising our hands, but they would divert their eyes & go back in the kitchen. They were very unfriendly, the whole time we were there. The food is GREAT, maybe just get some take out & have a better experience!?“

“If you have picky eater kids with you and you're looking for something delicious, healthy, yet lower calories then get the PLATTER tray of Banh Hoi. It's Vietnamese lettuce wraps with all of the houses major highlight proteins. Delicious!! And filling and a fair price for a large platter of food.

My kids ate all the noodle weaves and said it was delicious. The noodles are plain, steamed or boiled but they're completely mess free to eat and run around the restaurant with so it was the perfect toddler finger food.

I ate the lettuce, veggies, basil and grilled meats. Lunch for them, lower calorie meal for me. Under $30. Also the kids pho is good too! Like chicken noodle soup. My picky eaters loved it.

Service was very meh. They didn't come to check on us or give us water. You go upfront to pay, they don't deliver the check.“

“Soup so good it makes me want to cut my beard off! Seriously, the pho GA is amazing and I often bring a thermos to take the broth on winter hikes. The bahn mi are also very good. Best of all everyone here is really friendly and makes it feel like I'm catching a quick bite at a friend's place.“

“A very authentic Vietnamese restaurant with rich dishes and great taste. It is worth recommending“

“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.“

“Stateside was simply fun and excellent. A nice selection of cocktails, including a couple of nice NA cocktails. The food was innovative and delicious. We had the ribs, the sticky rice balls, and the trout. It was all excellent and and well presented. We will definitely go again our next time in Seattle!“

“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 .“

“Fantastic Vietnamese restaurant with weekly specials and some of the best banh mi and rice bowl.“

“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.“

“We ended up here at 5:20pm Sunday afternoon after we were at another place where the fire alarms went off before we ordered. This place was small but had 75% of their tables occupied. We were seated right away. The waitress was very prompt and friendly. The food was a little more expensive compared to the restaurant we left. $8.50 for two summer rolls cut into four pieces, $7.50 for two small eggrolls. But...the food was so good!! And it came out quickly. We ordered two noodle soups, one with the spicy broth, chicken curry with rice, two orders of rice dishes with beef short ribs, chicken wings, summer rolls and eggrolls. I can attest to my soup only, and it was perfect. My kids finished every last bit of their rice and short ribs. My 10 year old ate a good portion of the chicken curry but it might have been on the spicy side for him, and he's an adventurous eater. Hubby loved his spicy broth soup. Portions were good.“

“awesome food and great,very friendly service!“

“A friend recommended this place. Went to try it cause I love banh mis. This family is warm & inviting. Better than YeYes or Seattle Deli hands down.“

“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)“

“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.

“Shattuck and Tristan were great!“

“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.“

“I don’t know how I haven’t given this place a review yet. I’ve been coming here for over a decade. It’s very quiet and calm and the food is great. I always get a #10 Pho and the waiter knows my order by now. It feels great being treated like a local. Super friendly service and prices are great.“

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

“I don't recommend eating here. A coworker and myself tried the bahn mi and spring rolls one day and they were some of the worst I have eaten; ended up just tossing half my order. My wife tried the pho a day earlier and said it was not that good either. I do have an acquaintance that works close by and eats here often. he agress the bahn mi, spring rolls and pho are not good, but says the rice and noodles dishes are ok.“

“I have been here twice now and have tried the pork and chicken banh mi. As others have noted these are not typical banh mi portions. The meat was literally overflowing from the French bread. Not overly sweet which happens at other places.

The first time I went the place was pretty busy with a lot of eat in and take out orders. The second time it was pretty quiet with just a few other customers. Looking forward to visiting again.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Good Food and the attention is great“

“the bun bo hue is very good. The portion and different cuts of the meat also as the noodles and veggies are generous and tasty. The broth is spicy but sweet with the flavor of the lemongrass made you feel so eager to eat it all of the whole bowl. 👍🤗“

“We have lived in several places and have tried lots of places here and elsewhere that sold banh mi sandwiches but these are the best banh mi sandwiches we have had! We think they might make their own buns because they are so very tasty and just as good as the fresh baguettes we had when we lived in France! The sandwich ingredients are fresh and flavorful and we especially love the wonderful paté they include on them, unless you tell them you are vegetarian or vegan. They make the paté themselves and it is also as delicious as any we used to have in France! We like their rice bowls too. If you haven’t been to the “Toast Mi”…located in Lacey…we highly recommend seeking it out and giving it a try. If you like banh mi sandwiches, you will be happy that you did!“

“I had the pork banh mi. Great value and super fresh and delicious. Nice people here. It even came with a rice soup which I’ve never seen paired with banh mi before.

It was so slow on a Friday night. Give these lovely people some business!“

“This place has the best pho in Seattle!! Hands down. I have tried many other places closer to me, but I keep coming back to An Nam. The broth is to die for!
Friendly staff, peaceful atmosphere with big tables. I am never hurried out. There is never a rush to get out. Their iced coffee is delicious.
Totally a great experience!“

“we made an online order yesterday for pork, beef and meatball sandwiches plus 5 teas/smoothies. order was ready super fast and we had a great meal. the drinks are so refreshing in this beautiful sunny weather! service is always great here. they wear masks and gloves.“

“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.“

“The vegan lemongrass soup is the best you can get in the city. It’s herbaceous, flavorful, perfectly savory, and healing all at the same time! The tofu is perfectly crispy and the veggies have life in them unlike most vegan pho-like soups that nuke them into mushy oblivion. The service and vibe are always impeccable as well. If this Xom were in my neighborhood I’d be eating here multiple times per week!“

“The taste that you dont wanna miss!“

“I come here for all the Vege/Pesca options! But, more than that, I come for the service! The owner (I think she is the owner) is the nicest person! Always ready for a quick chat. She really cares about the community, too! Thankful to have some good veggie options for a good price and always super tasty!“

“I recently visited this place and had an amazing experience! The coffee was delicious and made with high-quality beans, and the staff was friendly and welcoming.Their beef stew is delightful. The beef was incredibly tender and cooked to perfection, and the vegetables were soft and flavorful.Great experience overall! Highly rec!!“

“One of my favorite spots for a delicious bowl of pho! The broth is full of flavor, and all the ingredients come together perfectly. The owners are always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. If you're not in the mood for pho, the menu has plenty of other great options—I highly recommend the short ribs!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Best spring roll and peanut sauce!! Wrapper isnt hard, everything tastes so fresh and they don't fill it w unnecessary mint leaves or cilantro. Great ratio of everything. Go too spot for spring rolls, chicken wings, and basically everything!“

“My absolute favorite pho in all Seattle- affordable, generous portions and most of all, delicious 😋“

“Vietnamese Cafe is a Vietnamese restaurant a block up from Market on 15th. Parking around here is always terrible, so be prepared to park up the block to walk to it and up their stairs (since they're on the 2nd floor). Inside, they probably have a dozen tables or so. Their menu is a good size and easy to navigate. Prices per portion are pretty good as their sandwiches are pretty big. The staff are so friendly here, always happy and usually will strike up a conversation with you. Overall it's a solid Vietnamese place with good food at a good price.“

“This place has the best bahn mi in the area. The pho is great as well. We live 15 minutes away and while we have tried other pho restaurants, this is the only one whose broth isn’t like watered down chicken broth.The pork on the bahn mi sandwich is tender and delicious!“

“So good, stop in here...On a whim, I saw this place because the burrito line was long af. I wanted something, saw bahn mi changed my tune! I grabbed a pork bahn mi, it was so good, so juicy and tender. The bread was delicious, the toppings were so good.“

“everything I eat there is amazing!! love their peach challah bread and their recent chocolate cake with almond butter cream!! keep it up!!“

“A Hidden Gem for Authentic Vietnamese Flavor. This is a no nonsense, counter service deli. The space is small with limited seating. The decor is minimal, but the focus here is on the food. The beef noodle soup was equally impressive, aromatic broth simmered for hours, silky rice noodles, and thinly sliced beef that melted in my mouth.“

“My go to Pho place in Lynnwood. Always great soup and excellent service.“

“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.“

“My husband and I have been living in this neighborhood for over a year and we couldn't believe it's taken us this long to discover BOL! After returning from a long trip, we ordered delivery and the driver went beyond the call of duty and dropped off our hot food directly in front of our third-floor apartment door. It arrived before we even got home and we were beyond amazed at the quality of vegetables and MSG-free broth!!!! I've been suffering bad reactions to MSG at many other restaurants nearby so finding BOL is such a game-changer for us and a new favorite staple.“

“best customer service in town with a smile! 😍way to go! Cheers to Twang! Keep it up, we’ll keep coming back and recommend your place❣️“

“It’s in the university district, so they cater to a lot of veg/vegans. A wide variety of options here: curry, fried rice, pho, stir fry, bahn mi, pad thai, etc with vegan beef/chicken or tofu. Portion sizes are more Asian than American. There’s a boba shop inside too that has non-dairy milks.“

“Good quality, good price, good food at a food court! Real dishes are used if you eat in so you have to clear your own dishes after eating. From Oshima we had chirashi bowl, udon with sashimi/spicy tuna roll, baked scallop roll, rainbow roll - better than restaurant quality; from bbq, we tried the garlic chicken rice bowl - pretty good; from Malri Hyang, we had the sweet and sour pork with saucy noodles and the shrimp fried noodles - tasty; from Thai Dragon, we tried the Thai drink - one with condensed milk - taste like grass jelly and one without - taste like dried prune. We will be back!“
