Food was great! Quite an experience, actually. Very unique, flavorful, super fresh, quickly delivered, a large amount of sides.The four stars because the whole place was freezing cold! We had to keep are coats on. That made the whole staying there and enjoying the meal less of a pleasure.Parking is ok. Position is quite central, so, you may have to walk a bit.Service was great. Did not get tons of attention, but we didn't miss anything while dining in.Great Thai option!

Service was okay however the lemongrass chicken was tasteless and dry. Also, I wish the Vietnamese coffee was more robust. I don't recommend this restaurant and I don't think I'll be back here again.

One of the best banh mis I've had in Seattle! Ordered a pork banh mi to go & I loved the meant, the sauce and the bread - it was delicious! The only complaint I have is that the pork wasn't charcoal grilled, but it's still so yummy. The staff was nice but since I only got takeouts, I can't comment on the dine in experience - although id say I like the set up of the restaurant.

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Seattle! I'm obsessed with the hue city beef noodle (bun bo hue) and also love their banh mi's- the bread is perfect!

Came here specifically to try the pork bánh mì sandwich and wow, it was amazing! It was a huge sandwich filled with pork, and of course the pickled veggies. But the pork had a thick sauce that did not disappoint. The sandwich also came with a cream chicken small serving of soup that I've never had before and it was totally different, a little lemon tasting, creamy and highly recommend and I would definitely go back just for that soup. We also enjoyed two bowls of pho! We had our lunch on Sunday afternoon. Found parking on the street very easily. Customer service was on point. Location was cute, bright, and easy to find. Check this place out!

One of our favorites in Seattle. The food is top notch every time, and the portion size is very large--great value for money. We always get the banh mi and at least one pho. The banh mi comes with an amazing congee that perfectly offsets the dryness of the sandwich--very thoughtful pairing! I also love the banh mi bread, which is soft and crusty.

Wonderful food and service! Family owned with a second location in pioneer square. The food style is southern Vietnamese. Delicious pho and dumpling soup! Will be back.

Meh. Ordered take out once and wasn't very impressed with it. I don't remember the dishes I ordered, other than not being satisfied. I do remember the beef pho broth being way too sweet. Came in for dine in a few months later since a friend wanted it. Had some shrimp spring rolls (bland, light on the shrimp, no other greens except lettuce, and heavy on noodles). Didn't enjoy the sauce that came with it. Also ordered a combination vermicelli bowl that wasn't very good either. The fish sauce was too sweet and lacked spice, the pork was full of mostly fat pieces, shrimp was cooked fine but lacked any flavor, and the egg roll was bland as well. Not a terrible place. Just not good either. Expensive for what you get.

Great little spot! Decided to dine in tonight since it was freezing out and we were feeling some hot soup. We got the Monkey Noodle Soup, pork banh mi, and traditional cabbage salad. All were excellent and service was quick. The egg noodles in the soup were maybe the best I've had! You have a choice of egg noodle or rice noodle and our server recommended the egg. The pork in the banh mi was flavorful and a little saucy which was nice. Cabbage salad was very filling and the cabbage was finely shredded. Better than I expected! Also got a glass of wine which was a large pour. Both hubby and I were impressed (he's hard to please lol) and we devoured the food. Definitely recommend if you're looking for Vietnamese food in Ballard.

Perfectly serviceable vegetarian pho but pretty middle-of-the-road with nothing to set it apart.I stopped in looking for a filling meal, as I saw they had some vegan options. They have a tofu pho ($14.75 for a small; $15.75 for a large, plus tax). I got the large, which came out in under 10 minutes. You get a massive bowl, with plenty of well-cooked thin rice noodles, lots of fried tofu, and veggies (broccoli, bok choy, green cabbage, onion). The broth is onion-based and pretty good -- not too salty or oily, with moderate depth/complexity. It is amped up nicely by their homemade chili oil. Nothing special, but perfectly fine.Filling, well-priced and good service. Probably a slight step above nearby Than Brothers in terms of the veggie pho. Decent spot for Vietnamese in Ballard.
