Ba Bar

I enjoyed the food and experience! Group of 5 were seated Monday evening in 20 min and service was quite fast. I was recommended the garlic crab noodles by our waiter from Saigon who was really nice and gave us free macarons. I would like to come again. Definitely getting Bún Chả Hà Nội the next time I come. Garlic Crab Noodle: 4/5. Fried eggs was a really nice touch. The noodles do get a little heavy/salty after a while. Bún Chả Hà Nội: 5/5. Sooo good I enjoyed everything on the plate including the sides. Bún Bò Huế: 3/5. Was okay but broth needs improvement, I wouldn't order it in the future. Macarons: 3/5. Some parts were hard, I enjoyed them but I wouldn't order it in the future.

My friend got some dental work done and I wanted her to have some Pho considering the poor thing had her face swollen and with the rain we wanted to stay indoor have have Pho for takeout.I hardly use Uber Eats and wanted to do something nice for her.For the price and the portions I swear this is the worst Pho place I have ever ordered from in the 14 years I have been in Seattle. Thank goodness my friend had extra stock and Pad Thai noodles, we made it work out and lesson learned, I simply will never order from this place. It simply sucks when you order from a place and you end up having to cook on the side because the restaurant was extremely stingy with their portionsMy bill was $100 for 3 pho's. Do yourself a favor and please take your business somewhere else.

The chicken salad is p good w a blend of veggies including cabbage basil peanuts purple cabbage shallot banana leaves. Nicely seasoned as well. The chicken portion is a small given the price. Service is non existent they were basically neglecting me the whole time and I had to get up to find a server to order. The ambiance is ok.

More like 3.5/5!! My friend and I were craving Vietnamese food so we stopped by Ba Bar almost at their closing time. Most places in SLU close by 9PM and kitchen by 8.30PM on a weekday. Initially they hesitated but then instantly got us seated and asked us to order quick. On my friend's recommendation, I ordered pho ga tron. The rice noodles were fresh but it was made hurriedly. It was stuck to each other. But the flavors of the herbs like cloves and cinnamon paired with crunchy tastes of peanuts was delicious. It also comes with pork broth on the side. I can see how it has potential to be a very good dish but clearly it was prepared in rush. We also shared sai gon chicken wings. I wasn't a big fan of that as it had a very strong smell of fish sauce. However the cocktail that I ordered was a standout for me. Hoi An's golden hour was so goood. It was rum based refreshing and citrusy cocktail. I could also taste coffee beans. It was delightful. The ambiance is quite chill and casual. You'd see people mostly coming in after a work day. The server was full of energy, recommended the drink and was super sweet. I guess that's why I added the extra star in my rating. I'd probably give it another chance for food sometime in future!

Came here on a weekday evening with a friend and enjoyed it. The vibe is casual and the decor is cool - it doubles as both a cafe in front and restaurant elsewhere. As others have mentioned, this place gets busy on evenings - even during the weekdays - I suspect due to the close proximity of workspaces that probably come here after the day's done. We got a table of 2 and were seated after a few minutes. I got the Phở Tái Lăn with an egg ($19.50, he got the Phở Hà Nội ($17.50) and we got the Bún Chả Hà Nội ($19.50) to split. Each dish was unique and the broth for my dish had great flavor. I got to try part of the savory donut that my friend got and that was good, too! The service was good and the menus are QR-code based. I thought the prices were somewhat on the higher end for Pho but it is what it is. Total was $62.30 without tip.

I've always been a Ba Bar fan and was excited to see that they're still going strong in Amazonia (aka South Lake Union). I was recently in town around lunchtime, while simultaneously looking to satisfy my noodle cravings, so I was more than eager to stop by.They were pretty busy when I arrived, but since I was solo I just sidled up to the bar for my lunch. I started with a lunchtime beer (because, why not?) while I perused the #noodlemenu. I settled on a hot bowl of their classic pho ha noi, which fit my mood perfectly. The broth was full of those classic Vietnamese flavors that make pho what it is, and it was served with a heap of noodles, tender slices of beef, and all the accoutrements (including a tiny bowl of pickled, spicy peppers that set the whole thing over the top).The atmosphere here is business casual, but I could see it also being a fun place for date night. The service was pretty good, although I did have to wait awhile to get my check (probably a disadvantage of sitting at the bar). I keep meaning to try their crab noodles - someday, someday!

We always have a great experience at Ba Bar, regardless of the location, and this was no exception. We quickly got a table, and they were super kind to my four-year-old son. The cocktails were fabulous. The imperial rolls are our favorite appetizer. I had a combo vermicelli bowl, and it was delicious. Our server was great, and the restaurant was relaxed and not too loud.

I've tried Ba Bar many times and I've never been disappointed! Today I tried their chicken wings and eggplants along with 2 cocktails. Chicken wings were crispy and flavorful. It was warm and tender inside. Roasted garlic is a nice touch.Eggplants were super flavorful with Chao sauce and green onion oil with mint on top. Flying lotus cocktail had star spice on it so if you don't like strong smelling spice, may not be for you.One time for your mind cocktail is matcha-based. It was a bit on the sweeter side, probably due to the honey whip. I loved it and would get this again.Service was fast and friendly. We were sat within 5 minutes on a Saturday night.

Curry. Laksa. Noodle. Soup. Omg this meal was incredible. We came at an off time (happy hour) and was able to score some high top seats near the bar. Note that there is a completely separate Ba Bar Green veg menu with some amazing options. My soup was warming and comforting on a cold day, with a toothsome mixture of greens, tofu skin, and perfectly cooked noodles. The broth was to die for. Husband also really enjoyed his Singapore noodles. Super cute spot to hang out!

Great food, nice casual trendy vibe, attentive service, expected city prices. Pho Tai Lan was delicious and well-balanced with a medium spice. I felt it didn't need any fish sauce (served on the side), but I did enjoy the fresh lime juice. Pho Ha Noi had a nice doughnut addition though perhaps less meat than thr former. My family liked the Garlic Crab Noodle with egg (+$2.50), which was like cacio e pepe. The Saigon Singapore Noodle reminded be of a Vietnamese Pad Thai. My fam got a couple of pilsners and seemed content with the drink options. Service was attentive, with plenty of water refills. Price is fair for city prices. Darker wood vibe was nice; I actually liked that the high top stools had textured fabric on the seats. There was a moderate noise level.Only downside is that the dessert options were limited (only macarons and maybe madelienes except Sat and Mon they have a tasty-looking pandan cake). But it was okay because we were quite full after our entrees! Would be happy to bring others back here.
