I love this place! I have eaten their pho before but recently actually went in for the first time. I ordered on the phone and was really happy that it was so easy and my food was ready in like 15 minutes! The staff was really nice too. The prices are a tiny bit high, but i'd say the pho is easily two portions. I always get the vegan tofu pho and it is delicious. They have the best vegan pho broth i've ever had, really rich and deep flavor. I haven't actually eaten in, but their spot is cutely decorated and they have plenty of seating. I think it would be a nice stop in place to eat in person. read more

Crane's Landing - Vegan Tofu Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The service was really excellent and the cost was quite good as they have a buy 2 get 1 free special on banh mis. The quality of the banh mis was a little bit disappointing though. They weren't bad but it was an unusual flavor profile. Like the bread had a baby with an Olive Garden garlic breadstick instead of a regular baguette. The sauce on both my tofu and my partner's pork and chicken banh mis were maybe a little lacking in flavor too or just a bit off base. I think lots of folks would like this but for me it felt a little too much like a McDonald's version of a baguette. The spring roll/fresh roll was decent but the sauce was perhaps again disappointing in the roll on the tofu. I'd go back and try the pho though. The inside is pretty basic with a few tables. It's on top of the QFC for those confused about the entrance. read more

The owner or man man who is usually in the kitchen is amazing but when the "kids" are out of school; probably in their 20s are the reason I probably won't be back. The quality and care that is put into the food is so different especially for the price. Not worth it when there is another place down the way. I've ordered a couple times before and they past two time when the 20 something made my food I was just so disappointed. Put care into what you are doing for the future. read more

Got the pork bahn mi and a side of broth! Broth was served with plenty of cilantro, white and green onions. Needed a little hot sauce, but not bad at all. Bahn mi stole the show. The outside had been brushed with herb butter and was nicely toasted. Meat and veggie ratio was good, pork had a yummy marinade. A cut above a lot of the bahn mi sandwiches I've had in Seattle. Highly recommend. read more

Came here on a Saturday around 2 pm with a party of 7. The place wasn't empty, but no super full either. I ordered the brisket pho which was about $15. The pho was tasty and very filling. The brisket fell apart in my mouth too. What really set this place apart was the jar of chili oil they had. I'm used to just putting siracha in my pho, but didn't this time around because I had the gigantic jar of flavor in front of me instead. The owner came out a couple times and greeted us too! He was really nice! read more

Best Pho on the block!!! In Cap Hill. Quick service and the staff is really friendly. It is a self- bussing type of place for after you've finished food! But sometimes they are nice and offer to take it away for you. The vibe is more casual and you will sometimes see some kid doing their homework there. Authentic!! read more

Crane's Landing - Brisket Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is not a traditional pho restaurant, which I should've known based on the name of the restaurant. It doesn't have your typical pho menu. There are usually a bunch of beef options (round steak, flank, tripe, tendon, brisket, meatballs, etc). The only beef options here are steak and brisket. The noodles aren't fresh. It seems catered to people who don't eat pho normally. If you come in knowing this isn't a traditional pho restaurant, it's probably ok. There are better options in Seattle. read more

Entrees are 25% off this week, so it was the perfect time to try a new source for my Vermicelli fix! Crane's Landing is a small, pleasant little restaurant up above the QFC at the corner of Pike and Broadway. You order at the counter and then sit at one of the tables. The food comes out lightning-fast! Seattle has a lot of fantastic Vietnamese restaurants. There was nothing about the meal that set it apart from the competitors, but Crane's Landing is worth a try if you are in the neighborhood! read more

Nice owners and staff, and cozy ambiance. Very convenient location as well. Food looks great and all the staff were very kind

Delicious chicken pho! Warm and friendly service. Great on a cold day. Many items on the menu including a lunch special.

I decided to give them a try on Ubereats and placed a delivery order. The food was delivered on time and everything was nicely packed. I got the Brisket Pho, the noodles, meat, and broth were all tasty with good portions. The price was also decent. If you're looking for a quick meal and craving Pho, give them a try! read more

Crane's Landing - Brisket Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

There's about 7 other things I should be doing right now other than writing a review on Yelp, but this pho was so good that everything else will have to wait. I always have people asking me, "where do you recommend good pho?" And I never knew what to tell them, other than Washington has decent pho. Tried all the popular spots and was never impressed. However, I'm going to be recommending Crane's Landing from now on. First, this restaurant is tucked away nicely in a quiet spot of Capitol Hill. Secluded and safe parking lot. When I looked at the menu, I was a little skeptical because it was a bit pricer than I normally pay for pho. However, don't let the couple extra bucks deter you. Easily one of the better pho in Washington. If you're a thick noodle fan like myself, you'll find that it's hard to find a place that will serve thick noodles. But Crane's Landing does. And they do it well. Generous portion sizes, and it passed the broth test (meaning it barely needs any additional condiments but add per preference), and I finished the entire bowl and felt satisfied. Walked down to Voodoo donut afterwards and called it a day. Service was excellent as well, the kind gentleman checked in on us and made sure everything was good. Ah, I may just eat here by myself one day because it's even pleasant to enjoy on your own :) read more

Crane's Landing - Combo Vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A friend at work Thao N heard about Cranes Landing through a group she belongs to on Facebook. We attended the last day of the 50% off special they had going on during their opening. Service was friendly and helpful. I knew what I wanted but they were patient with a couple friends not used to ordering Vietnamese food. Ingredients were fresh and thought the portions were generous. I had the Chicken Vermicelli bowl (Bún) chicken was nicely grilled and well seasoned. I also ordered a shrimp spring roll I will say theirs is much larger than most places lots if noodles in it. Everything is what I expected flavor wise with fresh herbs and Nuoc Cham. I think the only item that wasn't my favorite was the peanut sauce that came with my spring roll. I have had other peanut sauces before this one seemed a little flat for my taste. Space is clean and there are a few tables for dining inside. Took place of Tangerine Tree above the QFC . read more

There was a lot of glitches in the ordering system but considering that this is new, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that it will be better. We heard that there's a new Vietnamese restaurant that replaced the old one and so we decided to check it out. I ordered online and my husband went to pick it up. The pick up was smooth sailing, so no issues there. The ordering process though was a little painful. Their online ordering system has a lot of glitches in my opinion that affected my experiences with the food. 1) you can only order one type of vermicelli bowl even though there are options. 2) the protein options arents the same for the various bases, which it should be. 3) surprisingly, the fried rice is cheaper than steam rice?? 4) some of the extras available is also not consistent in terms of charges and availability. I ordered: Tofu and chicken banh mi --- chicken looks smaller than banh mi for some reason?? And not enough veggies Combo salad with shrimp and chicken ---comes with no sauce or dressing??? It was good though, the meats gave it some flavor so it wasn't bad, and the veggies are good and fresh. Also, I asked for extra pickle veggies but it doesn't seem to have much Combo fried rice --- I like this one. The pork was on the sweet side if eaten on its own but when eaten with rice it was good. The shrimp was also very flavorful but a little on the overcooked side. I also order extra eggs and broccoli and carrots and it was a good portion. Packaging was good and price is reasonable. read more

I've been to Vietnam, eaten tons of pho, and this is by a WIDE margin the best pho I've ever had. My friends all got the Bun Bo Hue which was insane. Couldn't recommend it more. Nicole and Chap are funny as hell, too. read more

Crane's Landing has quickly become one of my absolute favorite spots in Seattle. Their Tofu Pho is hands-down the best I've ever had (most places fail with vegetarian pho broth, but not here!). It's a rich, aromatic broth, with perfectly cooked tofu and broccoli. It's comfort in a bowl, perfectly contrasting Seattle's dreary rain/mist. I've also tried their beef and chicken pho, as well as their egg, beef, and tofu bánh mìs, and everything has been consistently excellent. All pho broths are always bright and balanced with little to no sign of Anise, and the bánh mìs hit that perfect blend of freshness, crunch, and savory fillings. Also, the staff is friendly and the service is quick. In conclusion, Crane's Landing delivers every time. I highly recommend them! read more

Easy fast casual Vietnamese food! I ordered delivery so I can't comment on service, but I really enjoyed the spring rolls and vermicelli. The banh mi was a bit too bready for my liking though. read more

It seem like a family owned restaurant. They were very friendly and gave us some suggestions. As we were just killing time before our flight back home. We order the fresh shrimp roll.

Hands down my favorite spots for lunch! The food is always fresh and delicious, and the quality never disappoints. Their pho broth is perfectly seasoned--not too salty and not too bland--just the right balance of flavors. The service is just as outstanding as the food. Chap, the store manager, is always a thoughtful and friendly face to see. It's great that he takes the time to know his customers, making every visit feel welcoming. Jane is also amazing--she always answers my questions and goes above and beyond to make sure my order is exactly how I like it. Even when I'm being a little extra, asking for crispy chicken or tofu, she makes sure it's perfect. Overall, Cranes Landing is a great quality restaurant with excellent service and incredible food. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick, delicious lunch spot! read more

Love Crane's Landing! Fresh food, wonderful service from the family that owns/runs it. I stop in whenever I'm nearby in Capitol Hill for a tofu bahn mi :) My son enjoys their pho. The big windows and plants are a nice touch in the ambiance department. It's also always nice and cool inside, great on a hot summer day! I hope Crane's Landing is around for a long time. read more

I really want to help this place and like it because it's in a tough place to stick and the owner is welcoming -- but I can't. The pho doesn't work. They don't have the flavors down and the noodles are not meant for pho but more savory dishes, they taste disgustingly sweet and slippery on the mouth. So for 20 dollars, before any tip, you get a veggie "steak" pho with three pieces of mediocre quality beef, some steamed veggies, and a bad taste left in your mouth. Owner is a nice guy, but he's not doing himself favors with the food. read more

This is our go to spot for pho since it is right in our neighborhood. I love that their pho does not have any MSG (for those who care...I frankly don't care if it has MSG or not) but what I will say this, the owners are sooooooo friendly. Always greeting you with a smile. Takeout is what we usually get since we live across the street, and I can place the order from my apartment and walk across the street and it is being bagged as I walk in. I love their combo pho or their brisket but have had the chicken pho when I was a little under the weather. Their packaging for takeout is top tier. And their spring rolls are HUGE!!! Also love their bahn mi (I ask for extra pâté because I'm like that). Love this spot! read more

Was this the best sandwich of my life? I think it was. My husband was equally stunned. We split a chicken spring roll--crisp, fresh, and flawless--but the beef Banh Mi was transcendent. Perfectly crusty bread, deeply seasoned beef, and crunchy, vibrant veg stacked with precision. Spotless, charming little shop. We'll be back immediately. read more

The food was excellent! I had the steak pho lunch special which came with French bread and a soft dink. The broth was very flavorful and there was a generous portion of meat, noodles and broth. The owner is very friendly. I will go back when I go back to Seattle. The ambiance is as one would expect for a Vietnamese restaurant. read more

Omg this place is sooooooo good! We discovered it after craving pho when leaving Banfield right next door. We live on the east side and now over eats this several times a month. Delicious and fresh pho & banh mi! Well priced too and great portions. Definitely check it out!! read more

Gotta love when new places open and they are unexpectedly delicious! I got a few too many things yesterday for takeout. Ordering online was seamless! Wait time was about 20 minutes. Finding the spot took longer but it's above QFC on broadway, sketchy area with homeless but not in the parking lot so it's safe. The pickup was fast and efficient. The guy working at the counter had the biggest smile and such great energy. He seem so happy! I love that. I got a few too many things/ literally! * Grilled chicken breast spring roll: delicious. Big rolls! Could use more peanut sauce. *Grilled chicken banh mi: I got it with extra jalapeños. Delicious! *Grilled pork banh mi: I got it for my family but they enjoyed it. * Steak pho with uncooked noodles. It's packed so well! I love how they pack. Containers remind me of Vinason pho. * Shrimp pho: I initially wanted tofu pho since I love tofu! Forgot to change but turns out to be my favorite. Super tasty, deveined shrimp! * Chicken pho/ another light and delicious pho. * 16 oz fatty beef broth. Less sweet but I do like bone broth. It's similar to that! It's also my favorite when I'm going I'm not eating carb meals. Just broth and a lot of veggies. Overall, packaging and super excited staff makes me wanna go back again. Once I finish the massive load I order. Food was fresh and tasty! Wish you guys all the best :) They are brand new/ opened July 1st and location is a little hidden. You'll have to go into that parking lot to see them vs see them driving by. Good food! Hope you guys sell out daily! read more

Brand new restaurant in Capitol Hill, replacing Tangerine Tree. Located above QFC at the parking lot plaza - Opened since 7/1. 50% off entire order as grand opening, lasts until 7/15 - Offers dine-in, pickup, or delivery options. Grand opening promo applies immediately for dine-in, requires promo code on checkout for pickup and delivery (listed on their website popup) - Hours of operation Mon-Sat 11am-8pm, Sunday closed - IG is @landingcranes. Check their website for full information of menu, etc at the moment (you can search it up) - Fast casual format: order at the front, bus your own table after - Food is 4 stars, but the overwhelming positive vibes and friendliness of the owner (Chap) make this a 5 star experience I somehow got notified of this restaurant on Yelp, even though I struggled to find any information about it (it did not even show up on Google Maps!) Hopefully this review will give sufficient information to try this place out yourself. I personally got the combo pho (steak + brisket) with beef broth ($15), as well as the shrimp spring roll ($7). A regular pho is $12 for one option, so overall pricing is pretty good. This is before the 50% off discount, so with the discount, I ended up paying a little over $12 including tax - I could potentially just eat here daily for really well priced meals, though sadly work and other plans will not allow me to have that time as this place is quite far. Portion sizes are perfect - although a little smaller than a typical restaurant, you feel decently full and satisfied afterwards, especially since the owner mentioned he uses organic ingredients. Hence, these two things got me pretty full at the end, without any guilt to the diet. Pho here is decent, with very clear and mild (beef) broth. Do not be alarmed if it tastes bland, due to the nature of the broth. There is a slight hint of sweetness to it, purely from the sugars, rock sugar, brown sugar. Noodles are cooked well, a little bit on the softer side. The pho is served with the usual fixings, such as bean sprouts, basil, etc though I wished they added just a little bit more of those on the side. Brisket has a solid meat to fat ratio. Steak was a little bit overcooked. Presentation-wise, the closest association I have is Vinason Pho near the SLU/Denny Triangle area. Shrimp spring roll: the shrimp is slightly sweet and super fresh. There is a crazy amount of greens (lettuce, mint, etc) for that crunch. Peanut sauce was just okay - it would be nice to have a bit more sauce as the rolls are huge. Another issue is that the spring roll skin sticks to the paper a bit too much, so it was hard to pick up, but the overall structure is still intact once I got the spring roll out of the paper. The owner was generous and wanted me to check out the marinated pork and chicken that he uses for the banh mi and vermicelli dishes, to ask for feedback. He gave me a sizable amount to sample actually, which was great - as I ordered a lot of food, it will be a nice savory snack on the go. They are marinated very well, a little bit salty but very flavorful. Unlike a lot of Vietnamese restaurants that have these grilled meats, these meats are not burnt or overcooked, and there is not much fat in it, tying back to his intention to make this a relatively healthy restaurant. Overall, the food is good but nothing too memorable. I ended up having a conversation with the owner and he is super friendly and enthusiastic about the opening of his restaurant. As I was snapping some pictures after getting the food, he asked me if I was a food influencer. I mean, maybe, but I don't have that many followers on Yelp or Instagram, but he still treated me like a celebrity because he is excited to see someone coming here and sharing about this place (which I am doing right now haha). He says he needs to do a bit more of marketing but there is so much on his plate - this is a family run restaurant and he has children that is taking care of the website and marketing with the social media, etc. He mentioned that he has a lot of things to experiment in the upcoming months, while waiting for some deliveries such as a new sign, etc. to bring this place to the full potential. His vision of the restaurant is to provide quick service as the location caters to the hospitals and universities, who may not have a lot of time for lunch break, to provide an inclusive space, and to focus more on the food and reduce overhead to maintain efficiency and fair prices. He emphasized that the food is intended to just be the average, above average stuff and is not meant to be a place where people will make a journey to go to, and to design the restaurant as transparent as possible - hence, you can see when you walk up to the restaurant to order, you can see very clearly what is happening behind the scenes in the kitchen. read more

New restaurant in Capitol Hill, which is located above the QFC. 50% off now for their grand opening until 7/15. I was able to order online (using promo) easily and picked up my order quickly. The staff there are super friendly and seem to be excited about this new spot! I got a bunch of things to try because I do really like Vietnamese food. - The broth for the pho was sweet and savory. I really liked it as I got it with the brisket (deliciously fatty). - I got a Shrimp spring roll and Pork Spring roll with peanut sauce on the side. I liked the pork a lot as it was very flavorful. The peanut sauce was slightly tangy and I ate it all up! - The bahn mi was a good size and the pork was really tasty. Very flavorful and meat was soft. I think the price point for the food is very reasonable and the food is good. It's not too busy at the moment and there's lots of seating space. It was really easy to pick up a quick lunch. Great place to pick up a lunch that's fresh and tasty! read more

I love this place! Super fresh and outstanding looking Vietnamese cuisine! Super fragrant beautifully made food. The salad was wonderful the noodles cooked perfectly and the meat was great as well as the veggies. I loved the dressing. The spring rolls we're super fresh and the shrimp inside perfectly cooked. The peanut sauce was impressive and great addition to the spring roll. The banh mi was good I know we are in a shortage for chili garlic sauce but a package of that and a touch of fish sauce to dunk that sandwich into is a gem. I ate this over a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner it was delicious! read more

I was really craving pho so I decided to give this restaurant a try. The restaurant itself is super clean, you order at the counter and the bring you the food. All utensils, water and sauces are self serve. All the utensils are compostable! As for the food, it was delicious light and felt very healthy. The steak pho was delicious. The broth was very clean, it wasn't as rich in flavours as other broths I had but it was instead very refreshing. I loved how it came with just the right amount of bean sprouts so nothing was wasted. The grilled chicken spring rolls were absolutely delicious and so incredibly fresh. The chicken was cooked perfectly and super flavourful. Overall, I would definitely recommend coming here. The owner and the staff are incredibly nice and will greet you as soon as you walk in! read more

Nice people, but the pho was terrible. My cousin got the bun and was also not impressed.

I ordered the pork banh mi and it was very tasty. All of their sandwiches were $10 which is very reasonably priced considering how big they are. They were packed with meat and toppings. The meat had really good flavor and the bread had a nice crunch. We didn't try anything else there, but I recommend the sandwiches. read more

Finally a perfectly placed Vietnamese place to enable my bahn mi addiction. Definitely a solid bahn mi at a solid price ($5 with the grand opening discount). When I called to order, they had already applied the discount code for me before I'd even mentioned it. Also it's definitely family run because as I was ordering, the person on the phone said "hold on" and then i heard a muffled "DAD!" Being yelled from the other end lol. Just went today but I think I'll be going again tomorrow to stock up as many bahn mis as I feasibly can. read more
