A wonderful place to eat, food is great, people are great, and the energy is great. I look forward to every meal I eat here!

I admit I'm spoiled and definitely have some other favorite Asian grocery stores in the Olympia area. But Capitol Market is very local to me and I've shopped there a few times over the last year or so. They have a good assortment of sauces, condiments, rice, noodles, soups, seasonings and a solid, but basic, vegetable selection. The freezer cases filled with all sorts of goodies from frozen meats to sweets. Prices seemed pretty reasonable. The service is friendly. The checkout area can get a little crowded with peeps coming in and out the door. PS - The last time I was in, the restaurant next door was open and whatever they were cooking smelled delicious. Note to self: come back to the restaurant and try some pho. read more

My go-to place for pho in Olympia! Ambiance - Market/restaurant combo in an old strip mall-esque building. Seating for about 25-30 people in the restaurant area. Service - always prompt and efficient! Order at counter and grab a seat or grab a seat and they will come get your order... either way seems to work! Food - we haven't tried 'em all, but so far our family's preferred pho stop in Oly proper! Pricing is fair and reasonable for portion size. Broth is excellent... select 3 protein sources of your choosing for no up charge. We will continue to patronize Capitol Market! We love it! read more

Capitol Market - Pho with steak, beef, and meatballs - Vietnamese Near Me - Olympia, Washington

The market is the only Asian market in the area located along a busy street. There were many grocery staples available for purchase. However, the fresh vegetables were not as fresh and minimally available. The prices are moderate too. If you are hungry, there is a restaurant located next door to the market where you can dine in or order take out. The food was delicious and staff was friendly and attentive. read more

Best pho eva! Reminded me of pho back home with my dad. All the right stuff, and the lady who served us was really nice.

Best pho in Olympia! My favorite. Go to spot. Heavenly. Kind staff. Beautiful plants & fish tank inside. The bahn mi is also amazing. Fried rice. Papaya salad. Japchae. Everything I've tried has been superb. I also love that they don't play music inside, so you just hear the ambient trickle of water coming from a very pretty indoor water feature. The perfect place to come enjoy a meal. Great vibes. Even greater food. Couldn't recommend enough. read more

An amazing local market and restaurant. In market, they offer a wide variety of food that is hard to find, and at great prices. The restaurant serves delicious food. The people are very courteous. read more

I've had the grilled pork bun bowl which was very good and now I just had the bahn mi. It was really good and the portion of grilled pork was just right for the meat to bun to vegetable ratio. They are also very nice at this restaurant. read more

Even though capital market is well known by locals. I still feel like it's somewhat of a secret. The restaurant is attached to the small Vietnamese/Asian grocery. You can find your classic Vietnamese dishes, such as pho and banh mi. But I think the star of their menu is the bun bo hue. The broth is rich, complex and slightly spicy, and it is served with tender chunks of aromatic beef shank, tendon, and a slice of pork roll. read more

Had to stop in and see what everyone has been raving about. We have driven past this place hundreds of times. It doesn't look like much from the outside, so have never thought to come here. We ordered at the counter for dine in and sat down at a table. We went with Wonton Egg Noodle soup, Steak Pho, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Large Pork Hum Bao. We were served hot tea with our meal, which was nice. Hum Bao was quickly delivered to the table heated and still wrapped in plastic. It was good, probably should have ordered two since two of us shared it. The fried rice came out first. Hot and fresh smelling of sesame oil. The vegetables were the frozen mix including corn and lima beans. Portion size was good, but overall this just want not an impressive dish. Wonton Egg Noodle soup came out next. The accompanying dish of toppings had cilantro, bean sprouts, lime, jalapeños, and lettuce. I used everything except the lettuce. I have never received lettuce as a topping everywhere else that I have eaten this dish, and was a little disappointed that it did not come with Thai basil. The wontons were good and held up well in the broth--not sure if they were house made. Wish there were more veggies in this soup, but overall was okay. The Steak Pho came out and thankfully came with a generous portion of Thai basil...so I used it for my soup. My son enjoyed it and left full. This place is a whole in the wall. Service was friendly. Prices are fair. Not the worst place I have been too, but I wouldn't say the best either. I might return, I might not...but wouldn't go out of my way to do so. read more

Fantastic food, great service. Some of my favorite food in Olympia. The staff is very friendly. Thank for all the wonderful meals Capitol Market. You rock. read more

My family stops by frequently! - Pho. I would say the pho flavor at this restaurant is different than other pho places. The broth is more meaty and very aromatic. - Bun Bo (spicy noodle soup). Very flavorful, plenty of meat, and like the pho very aromatic. My only suggestion would be to serve it with brisket instead of their current protein. The space is a hole-in-the-wall, lighting is a bit dim. The staff are incredibly friendly and genuine, they are are family-owned business. Prices are quite affordable for the portion sizes!! PRO TIP: Ask for "nuoc beo" (aka fatty broth) on the side to add into your pho, it's delicious. read more

I stop by this little deli often for lunch. They offer things like spring rolls, humbao, and bahn mi that are all really good quick options. If you have time for a meal, try their pho or noodle bowls. Can't go wrong with any of the dishes here. read more

My favorite SE Asian food in Olympia. Everything is so fresh, flavors are perfect. Brings back good memories of living in SE Asia!

Amazing food! So good that I came back 2 days later. Favorite spot I found in the area. Great prices for what you get. I got 2 large pho bowls (might as well get the large for $1 more). I enjoyed the beef addons. The bahn mis were so good - the chicken and the shrimp ones. Had leftovers and still so good. Great service, too. Highly recommend!! Wish I had one in my city. read more

Being new to the area, I'm on the search for good Vietnamese food and this place fits the bill! I love their pho dac biet bc it has fatty brisket, gau. And they have some of the more authentic spring rolls also. I love this place. Their banh mi are good also! Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

I have been here a couple of times recently. I have tried the vermicelli salad with pork and egg rolls. On my second visit I tried the chicken Pad Thai. Both were as good as anything I had had around town. The people are nice, the seating is fairly limited. Located in the strip mall adjacent to McDonalds and Wendy's in West Olympia. Upon pulling up you do not get the best impression outside and the inside is a bit dated but the food makes up for it. If you don't care for the ambience inside, you can always get it to go. They also have a Asian market adjacent to it. They have quite a few items in there also. read more

Local joint, cheaper than most and the quality is perfect for the money. (Even in the year 2025.) read more

I ordered the short ribs, Pho, and Dumpling soup. It was delicious! The service was fast during lunch and everyone was very friendly.

This is a small family run restaurant and Asian market attached. This is my go to place for Pho in Olympia area. I was always dine in, but the place has a lot of take out purchases. You can order, pay and find a seat.. Or sit and they will wait on you. I prefer to prepay so I can just leave when I'm done eating. read more

Surprised by these reviews because I didn't know there was a restaurant here haha. This is for the market. I used to go to Hmart a lot but it's a little far now, so whenever I'm downtown, it'll make sense to stop by here to pick up some essentials I'm low on. It definitely doesn't compare in terms of size and selection, barely any produce, but there are a few things available here that I have had a really hard time finding other places, including even Hmart. I've been to most pan-Asian markets in the area and this is the only place I've been able to find Chinese sausage. They also have a few sauces and pastes that are hard to find. They also have the juice box size AND the bulk size (with the round plastic spout) of Aroy-D coconut milk, which I've never seen anywhere else. Kind of a few specific items, but it's still nice to know I can get it somewhere. Kind of pricey but I think I'm spoiled from living places where Chinese groceries are more plentiful and competitive. Anyway it's worth it since I'm just happy to find some of this stuff. The people working are nice too and helpful. I guess I'll have to try the restaurant next time! read more

Pop a squat for some of the freshest and most flavorful Vietnamese food east of Nha Trang, residents of the south Puget Sound are blessed to be in close proximity to this eatery and it's accompanying grocery store. Divine broths, fresh baguettes, and some great banana egg rolls are a must try. read more

Best vermicelli bowls, sugar cane shrimp, veggie pho, brisket/flank pho, all served with piping hot complimentary tea. Since they open at ten my family often gets the short rib with egg as a delicious brunch option on the weekends. Nice to be able to shop for rambutan, kabocha squash, and persimmons next door, and they also are well-stocked on sriracha! read more

My favorite place! I always order either the brisket pho or the chicken pad Thai and it never disappoints. The pho is so flavorful and it has so much meat. The staff is always super friendly and sweet, they check on us multiple times and make sure we're doing ok and that our food is good. The only thing is I wish they had a kids menu so we didn't have to buy such large portions. read more

What a great find!!! First the place is super clean and nice. The food is fresh, authentic, delicious and inexpensive!! I had the Pho with 3 meats , it had so much meat I couldn't finish it. The flavor was amazing. We also ordered the fresh spring roles. We will have to come back to try more dishes! read more

This is our go to takeout spot. Everything is delicious but the bahn mi sandwiches are great Grab n go items especially for the price and we are regulars of the bbq pork vermicelli bowl and various pho combos (we usually just bring the broth to boil before serving if we dine at home). Their grocery market in the next room is also great for specialty items and has a great mushroom selection! read more

This is one of my go-to places when I'm on the West Side and want some delicious pho. Large portions, flavorful broth, and glasses so clean you can taste the bleach in the water they serve you (LOL). I've had a variety of their Vietnamese and Korean soups and all are delicious. Their fresh rolls are likewise large and tasty. My one complaint, which is shared by other reviewers, is that their tables and chairs make it impossible to cross your legs. There is no clearance under there because of the rattan filigree under them. But, no matter, because this is about the FOOD. read more

I've been craving a good pho for 4 months now. You know how it is, I was watching YouTube and my favorite food reviewer is crazy and he eats 4 bowls of beef noodle soup/pho from morning to evening. I'm here at Capitol Market in the restaurant to try their Beef noodle soup and I am hungry. I've been here before about years ago. It's a different time just the same place. I think the place is exceptionally clean which I am pleased to see. I ordered the Large Beef noodle soup and it's a decent beef noodle soup pho with tons of noodles and beef that I like. Is this the best beef noodle soup I've ever had? Truthfully, no but I have to say it is a delicious and decent beef noodle soup and I recommend if you enjoy pho stop in here and have a bowl. When I'm done I'll head into the store and do some shopping before I head home. Gosh I'm full! I need a good nap! read more

We live in Grays Harbor and make a trip to the Capital Market every 6 months or so. Today was our trip to restock all of our goods. While trying to put everything we night in our truck I dropped two bottles of sauces we bought in their parking lot. Everything is so expensive these days it kind of crushed my heart dropping the goods we just bought. Of course, they were glass bottles I dropped‍ The man who was making the register saw that I had dropped some things and graciously came out to help me clean up all the broken glass. I really appreciated that!! As a kind gesture, he went back in and grabbed the things I had broken and gave them to me. He was so kind!! Thank you sir We also ate lunch in their restaurant connected to the store. I had the Pho and the broth was amazing!! They have huge portions for minimal costs. I highly recommend trying the Pho. Thank you again, for being such a kind human being in this cruel world we live in today!! The world needs more people like you read more
