Their hot pot pho is Phonominal! The beef rib is huge and broth starts piping hot like I like it. Other hits have been the Banh Mi Chao and the salted foam Vietnamese coffee! Best Vietnamese option in the neighborhood and super consistent with quality and service.

This eatery really is fantastic for the money, hands down. If you haven’t been and are thinking about it, this place is a must try.
My favorite dishes:
Bún bò Huế
Calamari
Food:
The Bún bò Huế was served in the trendy hot stone bowls and there was a lot of well portioned meat in this. The ribs that are in the soup are flavorful and come off the bone. The broth does not taste watered down and I found it to be nourishing. My bowl once everything was added into it was near the top overflowing with broth. You are really getting great value for that meal in comparison to other eateries that offer the same type of soup.
The calamari wasn’t tough or chewy. It had a real nice crisp yet not greasy texture.
Service:
Eager, helpful, timely and polite. Its really nice to patronize an establishment that appreciates your business and is respectful.
Facility:
I think for the people who frequent Vietnamese restaurants, this place is very comfortable and on the nicer end where there’s not a unpleasant odor, really cold or feels stuffy. The one thing I would like to see is the floors swept a bit better and perhaps the window and other trim could use a wipe down.
Overall:
I have been to quite a few Vietnamese restaurants in the Seattle and Renton area and based on especially the food, this one easily rivals Renton Bistro by far.

Not all Pho spots are created equal! I’m by far a connoisseur of Pho, but I know what I like and I have been to many a Pho spots of varying price ranges. This neighborhood jewel is super cute. The interior walls are covered in a beautiful mural and the place is clean. The food came fairly quick, but no one came by afterward, so we had to flag them down everything we needed something. It wasn’t a huge deal, although they did forget to bring my friends tea so we had to ask for it again. I got the N4. Spicy Lemongrass beef rib PHO with no noodles, just veggies and protein, and extra onions and Cilantro. While it was good, it was good, but the broth was a bit bland. I didn’t really taste lemongrass at all, nor was it spicy. Even as a regular pho broth, it tasted a little watered down. The Garlic calamari was delicious. The batter was light and the calamari tender. My friend ordered the beef rib hot pot, which had all the same ingredients as pho, but just in a hot pot. While it wasn’t as flavorful as I hoped, it still hit the spot and I would go back to dry the dry foods.

This place has an interesting vibe with cozy decor and friendly service. The food leans heavily toward fusion. Their bún bò Huế, for example, is more like a pho-Huế hybrid and is served in a hot stone bowl. The flavor isn’t bad, but it’s not particularly authentic or standout either. Overall, it’s a decent spot for lunch if you’re not set on traditional flavors, as most of the menu seems to follow a fusion style.

Great service and wonderful food. The waitress was very patient and helpful with the questions on the menu and the food came out quickly. We have tried a number of Vietnamese places in the area and this one is by far the best. Cute interior, great tasting food, and warm environment. I tried the special menu and was thrilled by how good it was. Bang Mi Chao is quite a regular dish back in Vietnam our waitress told us but this was the first time seeing it in the states. Definitely my new favorite. Beef broth was so good we bought some for the road.

Food was amazing and the staff were super sweet. Got some soup for a sick friend and got there shortly after opening. The bubble tea machine took some time but I didn’t mind waiting and the staff were super sweet about this. The pho was amazing and helped a sick person on their healing journey. Would 10/10 recommend if you’re in the area!

Terrible dining experience I’ve never felt like this in a restaurant and I was with a group and felt singled out as the only person of color the server was extremely rude and even when I repeated my order numerous times and explained my allergies I was given the wrong food and was told I have to box it up and pay for it and I refused. As someone who manages a restaurant and has Vee in tbe service for years I have never felt like this and it’s disheartening because I always try to go local and support the community but I will never be back to this establishment after how I was treated and I definitely feel I was treated like this based off the color of my skin.

This place is a hidden gem. This is one of the best Vietnamese restaurant in the West side of Wa for me personally. We had the Pho Dac Biet(meats combo) and Vermicelli bowl with Grilled pork, shrimps, and eggs rolls. Both dishes hit the spot for us. The Pho was flavorful and very fragrance ( which i found lack at many other Vietnamese restaurant because they either skimmed the bone while cooking broth or doesn’t prepped their spices correctly). The vermicelli was absolutely the best one i found so far, their pork and shrimp was marinated with homemade sauce (tasted just like those i ate in Vietnam), not some generic teriyaki sauce, their dipping/dressing sauce for the vermicelli was nice and balanced between sweet and salty. Overall 10/10 for both the food and service. Definitely coming back soon next visit.
Feb 19th, 2023, came back with family and friends for breakfast when visiting the west side. Food quality is top notch still! Services were friendly and patient with us(we had few kiddos age from 2-4). HIGHLY RECOMMEND bánh mì (Vietnamese baguette), their was perfect portions with both the meat and veggies (so fresh and good i ate it before i had a chance to take a picture of it whole). Everyone was very satisfied and fill after the meal. If you’re hesitate whether or not to give this place a try, you should because the foods and atmosphere is worth a try.
