This place is amazing. Everything is perfect, staffs are really nice and the food is so authentic. As a Muslim from Australia I really wish we could have the same type of Vietnamese halal restaurant in Australia
The food is so delicious! Full of flavors! Food Presentation is so nice! And staff are so friendly!also Everything is halal! It’s a must to try!
We are so happy Salima is back! We had their delicious Pho today for lunch. It was everything you would want in a bowl of pho. We will be coming back soon.
Delicious, delicious, delicious! Loved the spiraled potato, lemongrass beef, chicken satay and the iced chai. We will be coming back, iA.
After hearing about Salima Specialties from the South Seattle Emerald’s spotlight, we decided to swing by for takeout and found quick, friendly service; a warm, community-oriented atmosphere; and AMAZING food. Honestly, we were blown away by everything we ordered.Fish cake banh mi: housemade fried fishcakes, fresh veggies, and a delicious sauce… so good and not an item I’ve seen on many menus before. With all the sides we ordered, splitting this sandwich in half was enough for a very full meal.Shrimp toast: outrageously good, creamy, and rich. If you’re even kind of thinking about ordering this, DO IT. You won’t be disappointed! Served under a banana leaf, this dish smells heavenly if you know how to appreciate garlicky, expertly-cooked seafood funkiness. Wow. We were hooked at first sniff and first bite.Cham bao: delicious. I love the addition of wood ear mushrooms — it adds a perfect earthy fullness of flavor. Finding the whole, tiny, boiled quail egg is like uncovering a little treasure. Dipped in a bit of the house signature sauce (which is SO GOOD, so gingery), it’s the perfect snack by itself or side to an entree.Chicken samosas: fried to perfection, crispy in the best way, and full of veggies and curry chicken. The sweet and sour fish sauce (that has an amazing spicy kick to it) goes really well with these!While we waited for our food to come out, we ran to Grocery Outlet across the parking lot to pick up a couple things ? The timing was perfect; our food was ready in about 15 minutes. Love the location and appreciate the ample parking! We’ll be back soon! There’s so much more we want to try…
Wow! What an awesome surprise. We ordered 7 dishes as a sampler and it was hard to pick a favorite. Everything was so flavorful and well prepared. The service was great. I feel lucky to live close to Salima and can’t wait to try the rest of the extensive menu.
This was by far the BEST food I’ve had in the Greater Seattle area!! We tried the chicken satay, lemongrass beef skewers, rotato, cham bao, meatball banh mi, and lamb soup, and all were 10/10. The staff is extremely friendly as well, and the ambience is perfect! Will be going back again soon and highly recommend!
Delicious pan-Southeast Asian food. Really liked the banh mi, bao, and shrimp fritters. Beef skewers are good, no special. Chicken wings were good. Nice sauces! Will definitely be back.Space is small but clean and the food all looks good!
New place in the neighborhood so thought I'd give it a try. Wow it was REALLY delicious! I had the fishcake bahn mi and it was incredible! My partner ordered the lamb curry and she loved it! We shared the banana tapioca which was warm btw and once again a home run! We got take out and food didn't last long, will take pictures next time! Portions are also generous, food coma has set in!
Delicious food. Great service. The egg and pate Banh Mi is my current favorite! The meatball Pho is also very very good. The drinks are original and yummy. Will definitely come back.
