I love the pho broth here, if you’re looking for pho north of Seattle, this place has the best broth. The portions are big as well. My buddy ordered the chicken vermicelli bowl and he ate the whole thing, he said it was delicious.

First time eating here, placed a to-go order and it was ready very fast. Got home and found their Pho broth is the best pho broth I’ve ever had. It is rich with deep and complex flavors balancing salty, sweet, and umami flavors. I’m no pho expert, but this broth played my palate the way a master’s bow glides across a violin’s strings. Veggies were very fresh and flavor only adding to the experience. My new favorite pho place in Seattle!

My favorite pho restaurant in all of Seattle! Great boba too, with perfectly prepared tapioca balls (not mushy like some places). Sweetest staff and best food, plus they have an outdoor area for fresh air + super easy parking. Love this place!

I ordered the Bahn Mi and the fried spring roll. My first ever Banh Mi (Roasted Pork), it was so good…more than I ever expected. The baguette was fresh, the amount of heat the jalapeno brings is perfect compared to the cooling of the cucumber. Watch out for seeds, lol. The spring rolls with the addition of meat, were next level. The perfect balance of light and filling. I did get a Pineapple Lemonade …. another winner…refreshing and that perfect amount of sweet, before it’s considered “too” sweet. 10/10 will go back
10/10 would recommend

Amazing pho broth! Deep rich full flavor i have been looking for! Not your regular bone broth for sure. No hoisin needed for this one for sure! Growing up in vancouver canada where the vietnamese culture on Fraser and vicoria street is strong, i am thrilled to find this place. I will say, it’s not cheap, $19 for the combo steak, brisket and meatball. That being said, considering this is in Queen Anne, its not unreasonable. Ballard pho places are like $15 for a larger portion and they are good too, but this broth was head and shoulders better. #cleanbowlclub
Bubble Waffle was tasty, not HK style, but still super tasty.

Love, love, love this place. I do not understand some of the other reviews. I come here a lot for the steak pho and taro boba tea, my husband also loves the banh mi. The inside is always clean and welcoming, and they have a great patio too. And easy parking! We are more than happy to pay their fair prices because they deserve to keep the lights on in a very expensive city. Thank you for being here and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

I went on opening day and got the Peach Jasmine Green Tea with Tapioca Pearls (Boba) with ½ sugar and ½ ice. It was good, I’ll definitely come back and get it again!
Went back and got a banh mi, which was huge, and pretty good. The tea’s a bit expensive, but the sandwich was a good size for the price.

So far we only went here for some boba tea. I got the taro milk tea with lychee jelly and my wife got the thai milk tea with lychee jelly as well. Tasted pretty good and I will definitely come back for some pho. The place has good parking and service was pretty prompt.

An important notation should be that this is a place that is situated in whitey white whitesville neighborhood. The customers there wouldn’t know bad food if it killed them. The meats are tough, the main flavor is salt and not very good portions for the prices. However the fish sauce was good.

I think this is a nice addition to the Queen Anne neighborhood, but I would consider this place more of a Vietnamese “fusion” rather than authentic Vietnamese food/drinks.
Banh Mi – I ordered the Pork Banh Mi, it’s comparable to other downtown Seattle Banh Mi shops (namely, Vinason) where they use cooked shredded proteins. The bread was nice and crispy, but the sandwich itself was okay. If you have ever been to Ba Le Deli in Vancouver, BC, they serve the best (and most authentic) Banh Mi sandwiches – cured meats/ham, paté, super crispy and freshly pickled veggies. My sandwich also had some strange tomato-ey condiment (I want to say it was reminiscent of a salsa) which you would (and should) never find in Banh Mi.
Egg Roll – more like a Chinese egg roll than a Vietnamese one. Vietnamese spring rolls are typically packed with meat and clear noodles, deep fried to order in a super crispy wrapper (most use rice paper instead of egg roll wrapper). I was expecting it to be served with Nuoc Cham (a tangy/sweet fish sauce dip) but it was served with a sweet Thai chili sauce. But I think this is common in Seattle…
Bubble Tea – ordered the Pearl Milk Tea because that should be fail proof. The tea and pearls weren’t bad, I would probably order it again of I was on The Ave since there’s no other boba places in Queen Anne. But for $7, the drink is more expensive (and subpar) to a place like Happy Lemon – franchised from Taiwan.
Coffee – I was disappointed in their coffee selection, viet coffee frappes and cheese foam…? I was expecting (as the shop is named) a solid Cà Phê Sữa Dá. Vietnamese coffee is known for being extremely strong, gently sweetened with condensed milk. This was what I was hoping to find here but sadly, the coffee drinks seem to have gone off on some other tangent.
Overall the owner and her daughter are soooooo sweet, and the service is fantastic. The patio is great and also dog friendly, which is a plus. I would come again if I was in the area and craving a sandwich (but not specifically for Vietnamese ones). I think the Cafe caters to the demographic in the area, so not quite authentic if that is what you’re looking for. Still worth stopping in for a try though!
