50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Shoreline

“We went for a three day Pho crawl around the Seattle and surrounding areas. This is THE best so far (we have taken in four places..). The broth is just superb... deeply savory, clear broth and perfectly seasoned with spices and bone broth. Loads of meat and the noodles is just perfectly chewy and held well after 20 minutes. The lady who served us was so kind and friendly. We also ordered their beef rib special and OMG... Load of wonderfully cooked and they even cut the meat of the bones for you (but left a few for presentation). We LOVE it!“

“Amazing banh mis, caring employees, and cheap prices.

Vietnamese banh mis don’t get any better than this spot. They offer amazing quick sandwiches for very affordable prices and the owners are very sweet.

I was so excited to try these sandwiches and will be coming back when in the area.“

“I've tried all the other pho places in the area. This one is my favorite. The pho is consistent, the owners are friendly and the ingredients are fresh. A recent change is that they've been updating the space and bussiness operations, and the new vibe is on point.“

“This place has excellent food! I ordered the tofu banh mi and the tofu spring rolls and both were excellent. Fast service and friendly staff too. I will definitely be returning next time I’m in the area!

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian banh mi and vegetarian spring rolls“

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

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great place! Friendly, fast, and fantastic simple menu!!! Give it a try!!“

“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👏🏿“

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

“awesome food and great,very friendly service!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 :+)“

“Absolutely delicious pho and a good price! Got the brisket, small pho, with iced coffee and it really hit the spot on a cool, cloudy day. Don't let the exterior fool you. It's a family run place with great customer service and a cozy, welcoming interior. Highly recommend this place if you love pho!“

“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!“

“Nestled in the heart of the city, Phở Huế is not just another Vietnamese restaurant; it’s a portal to the rich culinary traditions of Huế, a city known for its historical significance and flavorful cuisine. As soon as you step inside, you are enveloped by an ambiance that feels both inviting and authentically Vietnamese. The warm hues of the decor, adorned with traditional motifs, set the stage for a dining experience that promises to tantalize your taste buds.

Upon being seated, the friendly staff welcomes you with genuine smiles, making you feel at home. The menu is a well-curated selection of dishes, showcasing the best of Huế's culinary offerings. While Phở is the star attraction, the extensive array of appetizers and side dishes merits attention, each presenting an opportunity to explore the vibrant flavors of Vietnamese cuisine.

Starting with the appetizers, the bánh bèo (steamed rice cakes topped with shrimp) is a must-try. These delicate morsels are served in small bowls, each offering a perfect balance of textures and flavors. The shrimp is tender and flavorful, harmonizing beautifully with the soft, chewy rice cakes. Another standout is the chả cuốn (spring rolls), which are fresh and crisp, accompanied by a tangy dipping sauce that elevates every bite.

When it comes to the main attraction, the phở is nothing short of extraordinary. The Phở Huế specialty, known as Phở bò, features rich beef broth simmered for hours, resulting in a depth of flavor that is both complex and comforting. The aroma alone is enough to transport you to the bustling streets of Huế. Each bowl is generously filled with perfectly cooked rice noodles, tender slices of beef, and an array of fresh herbs. The addition of lime and chili allows for a customizable experience that caters to every palate.

What sets Phở Huế apart is their dedication to authenticity. You can taste the care that goes into each ingredient, from the high-quality cuts of meat to the fresh herbs sourced from local markets. The attention to detail is evident not only in the flavors but also in the presentation of each dish. It’s a feast for both the eyes and the palate.

For those who seek something beyond traditional phở, the restaurant offers a variety of unique dishes that reflect the diverse flavors of Huế. The bún bò Huế, a spicy beef noodle soup, is a fantastic alternative, with a rich, fragrant broth that is both invigorating and satisfying. The balance of lemongrass and chili in this dish creates an unforgettable experience.

To round off your meal, don’t miss the dessert menu. The chè (Vietnamese sweet soup) is a delightful way to end your culinary adventure. It’s light, refreshing, and beautifully crafted, offering a perfect contrast to the savory richness of the main dishes.

In conclusion, Phở Huế is more than just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of Vietnamese culture and cuisine. The combination of authentic flavors, attentive service, and a warm atmosphere makes it a must-visit for both newcomers and seasoned lovers of Vietnamese food. Whether you’re craving a comforting bowl of phở or looking to explore the lesser-known delights of Huế, this culinary gem is sure to leave a lasting impression. Don’t just take my word for it—visit Phở Huế and embark on your own delicious journey.

Thanks to the Owner for making my expirence with her cooking all the more breath taking.“

“Shattuck and Tristan were great!“

“Good Food and the attention is great“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“Friendly Staff, fast service, and delicious!“

“The taste that you dont wanna miss!“

“Excellent, timely and friendly service, and delicious pho. Really happy this place is near me because I always know I can get top notch pho for a reasonable price, would go out of my way to come back here if I move further away

Parking: Big parking lot that always has plenty of free space“

“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.“

“Incredible service, delicious food and nice atmosphere with many windows the chef were very attentive and friendly we ordered bánh mì and pho surprised with the generous portions the pho very flavorful broth and the best bánh mì in Ballard will be back Thanks.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great Vietnamese food at an amazing price. The Banh Mi are very tasty and they do everything from meat to veg to egg. Would definitely recommend for anyone who needs a cheap and fast meal. The sit down part is fine (not anything unique) but the staff are very friendly“

“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.“

“Both me and my wife caught a cold and were looking for Vietnamese broth to save ourselves. We popped up in Ballard for lunch. It was a quiet Wednesday afternoon. We got Beef pho and Chicken Dumplings in Chicken broth (Number 30 and 37) The broth was tasty and herby. The dumplings were well cooked and the filling was sumptuous. The beef broth was meaty and well seasoned. We finished our lunch in no time and were quite full at the end.“

“This is another pho place that is amazing. We had fresh spring roll, medium (large is way way to big) pho with brisket, flank steak, back rib and stir fried beef and veggies.The quality of meat is very good. The pho had plenty of noodles and meat in itThe stir fried beef and veggies, was very delicious too. The beef wasn't dry, actually fried and not boiled, like I've seen in other places.I highly recommend giving this place a try. Very good food.“

“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!!“

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

“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!“

“Fantastic service with very kind staff. The Gyoza were super tasty and flavorful, however the pho wasn’t all that flavorful. We ordered the beef brisket and chicken/vegetable and both seemed to lack much flavor that we’re used to with pho.“

“This place hits the spot every single time for Vietnamese comfort food and also, just in general, delicious food.

I love the family that runs this place, they worked incredibly hard and their food is extremely authentic. I'm southeast Asian too and I always get a taste of home when I eat here. Please support them! :) you won't be disappointed.“

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

“best pho in seattle area, i recommend the spicy beef broth with steak and brisket. they’re always so nice and are generous with their serving sizes. the thai tea is 10/10 but i wouldnt order it with boba - the texture was a bit off. sad that they’re discontinuing their stamp cards but will continue to support 100%“

“Best tendon Pho ever. Great pho broth nice atmosphere , nice service. Great place to hang with folks or Alone. Yummy“

“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.“

“We really enjoyed our time here at Grain House. The food and service are fantastic. Their O-Roll sushi and crab salad is a must try and if you are up for an adventure do try their fried banana sushi. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a casual dinning ?“
