The West Side Kitchen

Great fresh Vietnamese style cuisine. My vermicelli and grilled pork was fresh and tasty - portions are moderate and prices are Island appropriate.

While getting ice cream, we noticed an obtrusive business next door & we could see their menu, which looked interesting. It's not a huge menu, but they listed Bahn Mi, rice bowls, salads & bulgogi so it peaked my interest. I ordered Beef Bulgogi & my friend ordered Bun Cha w/pork. Casual dining inside, counter & stools, but table & chairs outside. Everything was delicious! Great service & friendly staff.

Popular spot for lunch in Eastsound with reasonably OK and predictably pricey food.Our group tried the $18 bulgogi beef (cold bits of beef on rice with a scoop of kimchi and a few slices of spiced cucumber), the spicy thai salad (mixed greens, cabbage, spicy), and the $16 pork banh mi. The only one we'd recommend is the pork banh mi.Busy restaurant. Ideal location. Staff seems to be doing its best to keep up with the crowds though to their dismay the complimentary cold water urn was empty.

Words can't describe how delicious this sandwich shop is. It's so much more than that. It's like going into a magical world of flavors and Melodie's on your taste buds that you begin to feel right when you step through the front door. Inside the ambiance is very cozy, yet still spacious enough to not feel cramped. Reminiscent of a lounge somewhere in the tropics, which was very comforting on a rainy PNW day. The combination of salt, fat, acid & heat present in their sandwiches, salads and rice bowls; bring a newfound and refreshing appreciation for Asian fusion food. If fusion food needed to set itself to a standard, Westside not only sets the bar, but takes it above and beyond what I was prepared for. The staff was also super low key, yet very friendly, and very knowledgeable about their items. To top it off the owner brought the food out to us himself with a smile. Overall I'd have to say in a place with limited top level cuisine, Westside is the shining star in an otherwise dim arena for what many would consider to be great food (outside the Taco trucks on the island, they're awesome too, but not open as consistently).

While visiting the island, we stumbled upon this gem while visiting the island. Simple & small menu, outstanding food. Would love to be closer to this spot for lunch more often, but whenever I'm here, I'll visit again.

R this is my second time eating here in a week! The Banh Mi is incredible. The chicken rice bowl is delicious. Nice counter seating and outside seating too. The service is great. this place is definitely purely worth visiting for lunch!

You know when your show gets renewed for another season and then there is a budget and openness for creativity? Well that's what it feels like here. Last year it was great food, now it's something else. The interior, the vibe, the food it has gotten to the next spot. Now they're going to have dinner service? Yes and thank you.

I was sooo sad when Voyager closed but my tears quickly dried when I realized that The West Side Kitchen has a very similar menu! I went with the familiar Tofu Bun Cha ($17) which includes fried tofu, noodles, veggies, herbs, and jalapeno with hoisin and nuoc cham? served on the side. Fresh and flavorful. Next time around I'll have to try the Tofu Teriyaki and Tempeh Sandwich. Very happy that there are a couple vegan options! I didn't get to enjoy this lunch spot during my last Orcas trip since they're only open during the week, but hopefully next year I can swing by for a bite.

Great spot. Unbelievably good food. I highly recommend. We got the pork Bahn Mi and the Chicken Teriyaki which were both fantastic.

Very good. I got the Bulgogi Beef with rice. It was delicious. Great customer service. Will definitely come again.
