Wow! This is pho with finesse. They craft their food with a touch of elegance and a pinch of extravagance. Our passion fruit lemonade and basil mint lemonades were incredibly refreshing. The chicken lettuce wrap starter had amazing flavor in the stir-fry. The crisp lettuce and garnish perfectly cleansed the pallet for the next one. Finally we had the beef rib and steak pho (which you can see there are two giant ribs), we well as the oxtail and steak pho. The meats were fall-off-the-bone and the broth felt like a mother's hug. The prices are more than fair and the staff were all friendly and helpful.Please eat here.

I've been there a couple of times. The food was consistently delicious every time. It's a hidden gem in the neighborhood.We tried Lemongrass Pork Chop rice plate, Short Ribs rice plate, Butter Lettuce Chicken Wrap and a couple of drinks, they all turned out very tasty, well seasoned and filling.I also like how some of the alcoholic drinks use ingredients commonly used in Vietnamese food.

Fun interior, responsive and friendly staff. Food is fresh and delicious! Shrimp were a bit pedestrian but fried tofu was great and drinks were delicious and refreshing!

Good place for delicious Vietnamese food at a great price. Personally would pass on the fried spring crispy rolls but the papaya salad was quite delicious. Not huge portions but still very light and tasty and a good way to cut the richness.Ordered the Bo Kho which is definitely the highlight with a deep braised beef stew. Upgraded to zucchini noodles which are delicious and carb-free which is a fantastic option.Service was quick and friendly.

Dope spot for some tasty Banh Mi at a great value. It is located very close to the Seattle Center, so parking can be tough to find and will most likely be on the street. Once you’re inside it’s a cozy, chill vibe with lots of seating. I definitely recommend getting the Banh Mi with Grilled Pork Belly. It’s probably one of the best tasting Banh Mi I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot. The meat is perfectly seasoned, the vegetables are just the right amount, there are not too many bell peppers, and the baguette is perfectly toasted. It also comes with a side of fries, which are really tasty, and some pho soup. Overall I felt this meal had phenomenal value. The staff are also super helpful and I didn’t have to wait too long for my food. I really recommend this place for Vietnamese food but definitely a great Banh Mi. I will be back for sure.

We walked in without reservation. Park on the street or nearby parking ramps. We were promptly greeted and seated. Tables with bare wooden top, no linen. The menu is heavily Vietnamese inspired. The service was friendly and attentive. The server forgot to bring one entree for one person. Which upon request arrived after everyone was done eating. The other food service was very fast. Food tasted average at best and was served at the right temperature. The interior decoration is limited.

I enjoyed the food here. The grilled pork bahn mi was good, and the side of soup and fries were tasty too. I like the seasoning and sauce they give for the fries. For appetizers I got the crispy rolls and kimchi calamari. They were both okay, but next time I'd probably try something else. I think I liked the crispy rolls more than the calamari. My friend got the chicken bahn mi which she liked too. I tried the salty lemonade drink which was okay but I probably wouldn't order it again since I preferred plain water.

One of the Vietnamese place in Seattle which won't disappoint you.They had the best chicken broth. I would really recommend everything from their pho menu.We also had the crab rangoon which was less crabby but more cheesy. The banh mi was good and had the fresh bread, easily recomend that as well.

This is my go to spot for pho so today I ordered the short rib pho and was beyond disappointed when I opened my Togo and found that my ribs had hardly no meat on them!! It looked like someone had taken off the meat where it was supposed to be and all I got was bones and cartilage. Im including a photo of what I saw the instant I opened my order, you have to agree you’d be dissatisfied too. Especially when they charge 16$, and today for what!?

My wife and I stopped here for lunch one day on our trip to see. She had chicken pho and I had the grilled steak banh mi. Both of our dishes were fantastic! The staff was polite and service was great. We had to show our vaccine cards upon entering and all staff members were wearing masks, which was nice to see. The aesthetic is great too! They have a large menu with many different options that all sounded delicious! Definitely a great place to visit for lunch or dinner while you’re in Seattle!
