    Meatball Pho
    Rhonda M.

    Such a great Pho spot, with awesome service. The Pho was delicious and flavorful, we're looking forward to going back.

    (Chay) Veggie Pho
    Cari L.

    Best veggie pho in the area!! Not sure how they achieve such a richly flavored broth with just vegetables, but it's to die for! The carrots are also cooked perfectly - soft all the way through but with a pleasant crunch at first bite. In addition, their banh mi are large, chock full of marinated meat and veggies, and quite tasty. We were pleased to find that it wasn't overly sauced either. Service was kind and friendly without being overbearing, and our food came out quickly after ordering despite them apologizing for the wait. Bonus is that they offer 10% off if you pay cash. Definitely will return for the excellent food and service!

    I don't have anything bad to say about this business they are the most courteous servers and owners I've ever met. The young girl there presumably the daughter said goodbye to me and thank you at least seven times during my visit. Today I ordered my go-to Vietnamese dish which is pad Thai beef and it did not disappoint. They give you about 20 to 24 oz per serving and it's more than enough for two people and there's no way I could finish all of that in one sitting. And I usually get it to go after I visit the evergreen tree massage place next door. Not to mention the Vietnamese coffee is a fantastic alternative to the usual iced coffees offered by traditional coffee stands. There's a spice in there I'm guessing it's either clover coriander but it tastes awfully good and mixes well if you have to add extra milk. I have yet to try the Vietnamese sandwiches but I am not ready for the daikon radishes and cucumbers yet I have to train into them as I am traditionally a meat loving guy. They look delicious though and my next choice will be the roast duck which comes with a side of Curry rice, jasmine rice or beef soup. On this visit they were out of the beef soup and since I came 35 minutes before closing they were loading up supplies from the front. Next time I told them. Bahn town has a steady, loyal following and they are ever increasing every day in business which is good for them because I love supporting the mom and pop places. At the risk of being verbose which I am prone to do I'm going to stop right there and say yes recommend this excellent international restaurant in the North end. You can even get your oil changed while you wait because there is a jiffy lube right across the parking lot

    Beef Pho
    Jiaxin G.

    I know this is the right place when I hear the remix of old Asian country pop songs from 70s-80s were playing in the restaurant. Let alone the friendly Vietnamese-speaking owners/staffs. So I go for large pho with all cuts of beef without hesitation. It was amazing. To be honest, I have had pho in Vietnam, China and here, none of them fails me. Their quality and flavor are much more stable and consistent than my mental health and future. All the beef cuts are perfectly cooked, even the tendon, they are usually my least favorite----overcooked ones are slimy, undercooked ones chewy, but the tendon here are perfect to my liking, I topped a piece of pricked jalapeño with it, yum! It's a simple yet hearty meal, I finish all the pho and wish I could finish the broth too. Will definitely come back for more pho!

    Curry Lemongrass Chicken Bowl Special
    Melanie H.

    Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 7/10 I would say this pho is not pure authentic Vietnamese and is slightly westernized. Maybe even a bit Asian fusion. So if you are looking for purely authentic pho, then maybe this place is not for you. But if u r just looking for tasty food, this is definitely good. Food is Amazing. Ingredients tasted super fresh and yummy. -Quail Poppers were so amazing. It's a quail egg wrapped in chicken meat and then deep fried to perfection. The sauce was also to die for! A nice sweet chili sauce. -Spring Rolls (are actually salad rolls) had nice fresh ingredients - Curry lemongrass chicken is perfectly grilled and seasoned. A beautiful lemongrass chicken with a mild curry and sweet honey taste to it. It came with some fresh vegetables and egg rolls. Their egg rolls weren't anything special. They just tasted like your typical frozen egg rolls you can buy at a grocery store. But everything else was def unique and tasted amazing! -Roasted Duck is very juicy and was very mildly seasoned with what I think is salt as the duck flavour was very prominent and delicious. Only complaint is that there is ALOT of bones and you do feel like u gotta work for ur meat but it is 100% worth it!! (And bones are common in Asian cuisine) The curry fired rice tasted like they infused homemade or fresh garlic powder and it is also super yummy. -OxTail Pho. The Oxtail is suppperrr tender and cooked to perfection. Very yummy broth. However I am unsure whether the broth is authentic as it tastes slightly different from the broth I have had at authentic places. But it was still extremely yummy. -Bubble Tea was very good. Tasted like they used Coconut Milk. I normally don't like coconut milk too much but it actually complimented the drink very nicely! So I would 100% recommend the bubble tea to. Service was 10/10. We were greeted by this super cute and friendly young asian woman who was constantly checking on us to make sure the food was okay and even gave us TONS of water. We never had to ask for her to refill or check on anything because she was already just on top of it and was super sweet. She even told us to let her know if we wanted more ice for our drinks or milk. She was just absolutely adorable and kind! Ambiance 7/10 The furniture and the environment in general seemed a bit outdated but it was clean and that's what matters!! It was also a fairly small place with only maybe 5 tables. But no complaints as we were seated and looked after right away. Overall I highly recommend this place as I do think of it as a bit of a hidden gem as their food was so amazing! (However I wish they included more vegetables with each dish)

    TINY AMOUNT of Lemongrass chicken,
    Chris A.

    OK, update.. 6 months later. I was in a hurry, and near this place, that I tried 6 months ago, and had a difficult time with. Came in tonight, very nice young woman greeted and seated me. Funny, but I ordered the same Lemongrass chicken curry dish, I had 6 months ago. The woman said it was spicy. I then asked for 4/5 stars, spicy! Food came quickly. Food had good flavor, all was just fine, but it literally was milk-toast.. not ANY spice at all! When she asked me how everything was, I was careful to say the food was delicious, but disappointing on the zero spice. She seemed surprised. Anyway, I think their Bahn Mi Sammies look really good, but I can't recommend them for curry.

    Jeff W.

    They're finally open for dining! Clean and kind service. Ingredients were fresh and visually appealing and in general just solid Vietnamese in the area. Parking lot is hit or miss, super tiny and not easy street parking in the area. We're lucky to have a lot of excellent Vietnamese in the area and this place is right up there.

    Tofu vermicelli plate
    Lana S.

    I've come here for years due to convenience factor when I'm in the mood for some noodles or a banh mi. It's not my favorite banh mi or pho but I enjoy it well enough. I got a tofu vermicelli bowl the other day, which was mostly fine. But the cucumbers in the salad were horrible. Tasted like bleach, I don't know what was up with those veggies but they left a terrible taste in my mouth. It was weird. I've never eaten inside but the employees have always been friendly enough when I pick up.

    5 Spice Chicken Banh Mi cross section
    Gina L.

    Ordered a few banh mis and oxtail pho to-go. waited around 20 min (visit the fruit store across the street to kill time). We got the tofu, grilled pork, and 5-spice chicken banh mis, which were all quite sizable. I enjoyed the grilled pork, and my sister enjoyed the 5-spice chicken, although I wasn't a big fan of the latter. The bread was great and the sandwich itself was sizable. However, my biggest gripe was the radish/carrots were not very pickled. I love the pickled flavor to add contrast and crunch, but it just wasn't there. As for the oxtail pho, it tasted just like bone broth soup. I was looking forward to some pho flavors while I gnawed on the bones, but was met with none. If I'm back, will likely get the grilled pork banh mi, but skip on the other items.

    Lani G.

    gotta love good homestyle vietnamese food, that's exactly what you'll get here! we ordered chau's dirty rice, classic pho ga and spring rolls you can tell a lot of love was put into these dishes, always a great experience every day is a perfect day for pho when dining at banh town!

My cocktail was a pho broth washed shot of Jameson and it came with a pho broth chaser. Hope I got that right but I almost don't wanna drink Jameson any other way now. The parking lot was packed but there's a paid parking lot around corner so no problem. It looked packed but I think a lot of people were at the larger pho Bac sup shop (which is associated w The Boat, but The Boat had plenty of seating at 6:30 on a Sunday night.

The place is right next to their sister location, Pho bar, and share a parking space. It is nice and clean on the inside, and like the name the restaurant is shape like a boat! So far I have been here twice and would definitely come back for a warm meal. The staff were helpful and pleasant! It was roughly a 30 minute wait for the food, but that is to be expected considering this is not a fast-food Restaurant (:

It's a bit pricey for the portions, but overall we enjoyed our meal and I really liked trying dishes beyond the typical spring roll/pho/rice place.

Wish there was more protein. It's located in a bit of a sketchy mall, but it's one of the nicer restaurants located within the mall.

We ended up choosing a place close and were not disappointed at all. This restaurant is located off a busy street but it luckily offers a parking lot which can be hard to come by in Seattle. Because we came on the earlier side, we were seated quite quickly :) The space is pretty large so I don't think I would worry about a wait on a weekday. We were very impressed by the options provided. I usually don't find Bun Bo Hue on the menu often which is what my partner ended up ordering. I ordered the Bun rieu which is even harder to come by. We also ordered the crispy butter garlic wings to share which was a perfect choice. The service was very fast and we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly our stuff came out after placing our order. The portions were also HUGE and we both had enough to take home for a second meal. The Bun rieu was super tomatoey and had a rich flavor which the crab. My mom makes Bun rieu at home and I was very much happy with this bowl too, reminded me a lot of how my mom makes it! The Bun Bo Hue was not super spicy but we appreciated being able to customize. The garlic wings were SOOOO good. So crispy and seasoned so well, we would 100% get these again they were so good. We left very full, warm, and satisfied with this pick. We likely will be back in the near future!

The custard duck egg is an excellent starter, with a rich, savory broth that delivers a deep, yolky umami punch. The rau ram oil and herb is such a creative twist that adds the perfect herbal dimension. The radicchio pudding was light and offered a clean, almost grassy brightness without being overwhelming in flavors. Great option for any vegans at the table. The wagyu beef tallow fries were some of the best fries I've ever had. Ultra-crispy, perfectly thick-cut, and deeply flavorful with beef notes shining through, without being too heavy. Like many of the dishes here, perfectly balanced in flavor. The grilled eggplant with whipped tofu and crispy sun chokes was another standout. The tofu whip was so smooth and should be considered a worthy sub for mayo. The eggplant was soft, creamy, and perfectly charred. The garlic rice was incredibly savory and maybe my favorite version of it yet. Packed with the perfect depth of garlicky flavor and seasoning. Finally for dessert - I thought the durian fruit cup was decent, it's great for durian lovers but next time I will be back to try their other desserts. The hollow bread is a must-try. It's fried to perfection, the inside is steamy and the butter it comes with is perfect but the bread alone is so good that it doesn't need it. The perfect touch of roasted sesame. Slightly sweet, it's a delight in textures and perfect in cold weather. The oyster on half shell in happy hour is also a great standard oyster, very fresh, with a nuanced Viet twist in the sauces. Vegetable dip is pretty standard and also delicious, great if you're looking for a healthy starter. Coffee rubbed ribs were fantastic as well and an incredible deal for the size. Very savory, a little sticky sweet, but not too much. Service was also friendly and the food came out in a reasonable time.

Easy to eat and flavorful on its own but dipping it with Chinsu added spice and more flavor. Bot Chien had a crisp to it and egg was cooked well. You have to dip it in the fish sauce or else there is no flavor. Just something minor but I wish the pickled veggies were more separated. It had the cut lines but not fully cut so you had to separate it yourself. The com tam was alright. All of the components you would usually get for a broken rice dish. The meatloaf was really good. The pork on the other hand was a bit too salty for my liking. And you only get one thin piece... soup on the side was good and was a good way to cleanse the palette. Overall good modern/fancy spin on Vietnamese food but overpriced. Would probably be nice to go during dinner time for some drinks as the ambience seemed better for night time. Good amount of seating. Street parking around the area was easy to find.
