Two of my friends and I came across this place for dinner around 5:30pm during the White Center…read moreBlock Party. It was wackily warm outside but you feel a nice breeze from AC inside; you then see a bunch of four-tops and a long table for larger parties along with welcoming wall decor to match. The front counter and register area are brightly lit and have a nice aesthetic to them, and tables are relatively clean. Their menu has not only Vietnamese food but also teriyaki, curry and pad thai among other options, so there's something for anyone coming in for something good to eat. For this visit I got their grilled pork and egg roll noodle bowl, which looks very standard and therefore delicious at first but I ended up not enjoying it. The vermicelli noodles had a rough texture, almost like it could have been boiled for another 5 seconds before plating. The pork is also chewy and tender but dry and lacking in flavor. The egg rolls were the only plus in this dish, but the sheer amount of noodles along with their texture didn't help while eating. My friend's chicken teriyaki with gyoza plate was slightly better, with the chicken also being dry despite the sauce and the gyoza being standard. But past that, service was fast and quick, along with the time it took for all our food to come out. Servers were attentive with answering questions and filling our water throughout, and we all wanted to stay a little longer just to take in the decor. This was sadly not one of my best meals for a place I really wanted to enjoy, however. I'm taking this visit as a one-off visit since there's so many other dishes to try here.

I was really vacillating between 4 and 5 stars here since my final rating for this place is 4.5/5…read more I'm choosing to rate this 5 stars at the end because of high potential, great staff and hearty food! This indoor restaurant is close to the streets of Rainier Ave and there is unmarked parking all along S Grand St you can utilize, but it can be nearly full like on the Saturday noon around 12:30pm I came here with parents. It is in the same building as the Melody Jabooda Apartments, and is pretty compact inside. There's several small tables inside than can fit a max of 3 people, yet the interior muffles the bulk of the noisy traffic on Rainier Ave. There's some decor on the walls and near the counter where the kitchen is, and the counter to order is almost directly in front of the entrance. Phone reception inside was iffy, as I had to go outside the building to check into here on the Yelp app. Seating was full, mostly from patrons ordering and taking their goods to go but with some actually dining in. For a place that serves banh mi, they also have pho, bun, Vietnamese coffee, lattes and matcha drinks. Several of the drinks are also available in hot formats, and all drinks cost the same except for Vietnamese coffee and lattes which cost $1.95 and $1 less before tax, respectively. There are different price tags for the hot drinks. Banh mi sandwiches also come in bags that look like they could be used for roasted coffee beans - they're dark brown and are about the same size as store-bought coffee bean bags. What a coincidence given they also serve coffee! We got many things from here: - Old school Vietnamese coffee ($7, hot): according to my dad (and me after having several sips), this unfortunately tasted more like American coffee; it was missing sweetened condensed milk to make it more like so, and the coffee itself wasn't strong. It seems regular milk was used as the sweetener instead. - Oolong house blend ($8.95): your standard milk tea. I added both grass jelly and tapioca onto this. Mom liked this and had no complaints; I had a sip and thought it was pretty good too. - Grilled pork banh mi sandwich ($9.95, medium toast): I partially shared this one with my mom. Grilled pork is all right at best, otherwise it has all the works of a great banh mi. We'd still prefer the one from Q Bakery for now. - Butterfly matcha: the butterfly pea flower in this drink created a blue hue inside the drink in its own layer and essentially enhanced the ceremonial matcha taste a lot more, since it tasted more woody and earthier than usual once I mixed everything. It's also sweet enough to satisfy any matcha lover out there. I loved this drink a lot and would highly recommend! - House special banh mi sandwich ($10.95, medium toast): this sandwich is much larger than I expected, and comes with Vietnamese ham, pork ham, pate, jalapeños and what looked like Chinese sausage along with the same works as the grilled pork. Everything went well together and it was loaded! All meats were fresh and just this sandwich alone made me really full. Another high recommend! I really appreciated the staff for asking all the clarifying questions for our banh mi sandwiches and drinks, like how toasted we wanted our sandwiches, the sweetness and ice levels of our drinks, and toppings for those drinks. They also let me and other patrons in line know of wait times for our food, with my order being quoted about 15 minutes and coming out by that timeframe. This place has been open since September of last year, and they have a decked out menu for anyone wanting to grab both food and drink. I'm definitely coming back to try their other drinks and sandwiches!

We ordered the chicken, pork, beef and cha lua and we requested that the veggies be put on the side. The portions of meat to veggie ratio was perfect and we thought it was even more than what we have seen from delis in Seattle. We also bought com tom and my husband said the grilled meat was good and flavorful. We had the banh bao and my son enjoyed. All in all, definitely recommend to go and try this place! Kind people, great good and service was pleasant. Will come back again.

stopped in here today right around lunchtime as i'd worked up an appetite getting errands done in…read morethe five corners area and didn't think i'd make it all the way home without some kind of incentive. it was quiet and i was the only person inside but they were wrapping a large papaya and shrimp salad platter as well as what looked to be some fried rice orders to go. i grabbed two vegetarian egg rolls and a v3, tofu vermicelli. both things together were about $17 and were ready fairly quickly. the v3 order was huge so it ended up being split into two different meals. it was tasty and fresh. the egg rolls were good but pretty greasy so minus one star. the person helping me was polite and made sure to ask if i needed napkins and utensils with my to go order. lots of food and drink options, local vietnamese language newspapers to glance at and an inviting ambiance. in terms of accessing their parking, it's going to be a lot easier to come from the west and head east from 1st ave s on 160th. if you're heading west on 160th, it's going to be an awkward turn across a double yellow center line to get to their door.

After reading about Vinason in the Seattle Times, I was anxious to try it out. We were a little bit…read moresurprised to find out it was a bit in the outskirts of Kent, but quickly decided it was worth a little drive. Love the concept that they let you try their 3 different broths before deciding on which to go with. I didn't know that different regions of Vietnam have different types of broth, so this in itself was an education. We both decided we liked the Saigon broth which seemed a little more sweet, and less fishy. It was a good choice as that broth was excellent. The meat/vegetable option was a new concept, but I think a great way to help you decide what kind of pho you want. Servings were generous. We couldn't finish it all, but takeout was easy as you use the same container the pho is served in, just add a lid. Loved the toppings bar. All selections there were good. Our server was very nice and patient to explain the whole process to us. Interior was very nice and clean, but some areas, like the bathrooms, already seemed a little worn for a new restaurant space. Prices seemed a little high for pho, but I guess that was due to our selection. Bill was about $55 for 2 pho, a diet coke and a beer. They did have a good beer selection. We'll be back... primarily because the Saigon broth is so good, but we might be a little more conservative on our selections to keep the cost down.

They said they use boneless, which was ok with me. But wait a minute, that's weird, I've never seen Boneless short Ribs that were round shaped, with no marbling.

Beef broth that everyone raves about was awfully dark and a tad salty. Doctored Knorr Beef Base perhaps? I ate it. I was hungry, but hard pass next time.

in the puget sound it's become easy to find a small banh mi shop in almost all towns and cities but…read morewhat isn't easy is finding places that reliably offer good quality food and clean eating areas. sometimes places are more known for takeout rather than eating on the premises but when you're craving a banh mi, lets me honest-----sometimes where you eat it isn't as important as where you bought it and today i found a legit place to put on your radar, if it isn't already. they do banh mi sandwiches and bun vermicelli noodle bowls and it was packed on a tuesday at lunchtime with people who had shown up and ordered on the large screen at the front counter and were waiting for their order's number to be called. i have some favorite places around the seattle area and going to be adding this one to the top of the list for the following reasons: SIZE: this banh mi was so big i couldn't finish it. it's going to become a second meal later today or tomorrow. TASTE/FLAVOR: great, fresh ingredients (pickled carrots and daikon) and yummy marinated tofu that had a sweet kind of sauce on it (maybe it was the mayo?!) the bread was fabulous consistency and crunch. PRICE: for the size and quality, the price was quite reasonable! this is dangerous to know about, considering it's on the peninsula and will help with the cravings when they strike. the only downfall is that parking is difficult. you may need to park a block away and walk since there's only spaces for 3-4 cars in front. while i was there, i literally saw a couple of cars double park to run in and grab their orders so maybe regulars know to expect that. pro tip: do not stand or park between a hungry person and their banh mi order
