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“

“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!“

“This place has the best broth amongst all the Pho restaurants I have visited. Tasty and healthy, did not make me feel thirsty afterwards.“

“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 ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“Best veggie banh mi in the area. Highly recommend. Such flavorful tofu, perfect amount of veg, and perfectly toasted bread. Will be back!“

“I love the Spring Rolls!!!“

“Got to enjoy the soft opening phase of this trendy Viet restaurant right now. Ông Lam Bistro brings delicious and comfort-inducing Vietnamese offerings that are rare to the Seattle scene. While their food menu is still fairly limited, you cannot go wrong with any choice. Additionally ,their drink selection is surprisingly versatile: you can opt for a cocktail, a soothing, almost medicinal tea, or jello shots (highly concentrated) for a fun twist to your experience! The presentation of everything speaks for itself: it's beautiful and intentional. I predict this place will be quite lively in the future, so make sure to be an early customer and enjoy the pleasure of being part of an early pioneer crowd!“

“awesome food and great,very friendly service!“

“I love everything about this café! The selection is amazing and the drinks + bites are crafted with quality ingredients. I tried the gloomy matcha, the nutty cloud, and the house cake with cheese—all exceeded my expectations!

We entered the café at 8:10AM on a Sunday (a little after opening) and there were already several customers. Service is excellent and so is the minimalistic ambiance! I will most definitely be back ☺️ ?“

“It’s always a good idea rely on Vietnamese reviewers for the best insights on where to find authentic pho. Trust me, this place delivers. The beef is tender and packed with flavor. I took my parents, who are from Saigon, and they gave it a 5/5. The ladies that served us were so sweet and welcoming.“

“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.“

“My boyfriend and I have been coming here for the past couple months and the food is consistently delicious every time. The staff are friendly and accommodating and our food always takes less than 5 minutes to get to our table. This has been our new go-to spot for pho and we are always left satisfied! If anyone is looking for a good Vietnamese restaurant to check out, Pho Bothell is the place!“

“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.“

“不错的体验，值得推荐朋友圈“

“LOVE this place! The staff is great and friendly and I love the pork Banh Mi here! The spring rolls are delish as well as the vermicelli dishes. All around my go to Vietnamese place! The owner is so wonderful as well. Always so kind and friendly and takes pride in his restaurant- even outside.

Dietary restrictions: No MSG Pho!“

“Excellent food for a good price at a family-owned shop. I had a small steak and brisket pho, fried egg rolls, and coffee with condensed milk. The broth had subtle tang with more sweetness than I'm used to, but it was a welcome and delicious addition. The small size was great for lunch on the lighter side, in my opinion, though I'd recommend large for most folks. Egg rolls were tasty, coffee was great. I'd absolutely return.“

“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.“

“Good Food and the attention is great“

“Shattuck and Tristan were great!“

“This has become one of my go-to spots. Very nice portions, great drinks (I love the smoothies, Thai tea, and matcha latte) and wonderful vibes. Really great spot to get some work done, eat a hearty meal, and get multiple drinks all at the same time. What can I say man, the Vietnamese never miss ?‍♀️“

“Friendly Staff, fast service, and delicious!“

“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.“

“This is a great Seattle bar. The atmosphere is great for conversation and to enjoy some delicious, very well made drinks and some tasty food. The place is small and intimate, very inviting and cozy. The staff are very nice and attentive. Even though, we didn't have any food, it does look very good.“

“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.“

“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.“

“How has this place only gotten 3.9 stars? Decided to try this place out while I visited another shop next door. The broth is excellent, above expectation and gives the meat a great flavor that is sorely lacking at other pho restaurants. Great service and great small business atmosphere, tucked away in the corner of a strip mall.“

“Really good pho. I had the brisket and an order of gyoza. Best gyoza I’ve had since my trips to Japan.“

“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“

“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.“

“Chill restaurant with great portions. You order on a kiosk so it feels a bit disconnected so if you want a real restaurant feel this is not the place. If you just want a good bite to eat however this is a great spot, as the portions are huge and the food is super good. Prices are good for Seattle.“

“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've had banh mi from all over town and this one is one of my favorite. Bread isn't too crunchy, good peanut sauce and fresh veggies. Their pork is also really well seasoned and tender, and the jalapenos add the perfect amount of spicy“

“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“

“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!!“

“This place is good. I will absolutely be back to order again. My one piece of advice is the shrimp needed to be marinated in Vietnamese spices. I never ate here before but now I will be back. Please give this place a try they do good work.
I had pho with shrimp. And a bahn mi to go.

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