For the soup.
Leo A.

Bahn Mi and Chicken Pho. My sandwich was pretty good and very beautiful. The bread could have been a little crisper, but otherwise a good sandwich. The Chicken Pho, however, was terrible. I swear that bird must have been a 38-year-old weightlifter. It was tough, unchewable, and very dry. Not worth the effort to chew. Service was hurried, and I had to go to a different waiter to pay my check.

I've come here a couple times and each time I've had great Pho, fabulous yet typical appetizers, it's always fresh as Heck, the service is always very good and I'm always ready for a midday nap and a belly rub when I'm done.. highly recommended and if you're wondering, the ambiance is cafeteria style, modern and clean

Sis and I came here because we love the Ding Tea attached to this business and she had a craving for something Asian. She got the beef bowl and I got the Mam sauced wings. She liked the bowl well enough and it was a really generous portion of food. I didn't get to try it because there were peanuts all over it which I'm allergic to. She said it was fine, but she likes Pho Hoa better as far as flavor is concerned. Now for the wings- they were okay. The menu made it sound like they'd be tossed in sauce, but there was very little of it. Were they running out, or was the sauce more of a marinade that the chicken sits in, because I could barely taste it. Because of that, they were very plain tasting. Glad I didn't order more because I'd probably be disappointed. The service was minimal. You seat yourself and a guy comes out, makes no attempt at rapport, which I'm fine with, but it also was to the point that he seemed unhappy to be there. He wasn't mean or rude or anything, but he seemed like he needed the day off.

Service suck a but food is amazing! Siri f rolls to die for , soup great, beef stew beat in the menu. We have dined in and door dashes several times. Shaking beef good but very small portions, not worth the $. Mam small dry and not with the cost

Modern but natural decor, love the lanterns

Came in for a quick bowl of pho 30 mins before closing time and glad we did, because that's all they had. Food arrived quickly, with a plate of sprouts, jalapenos, Thai basil and lime as per usual. Piping hot, delicious broth and a pretty environment made for a satisfying dinner. This is a place I could definitely frequent if I were a local.

Stir fried egg noodles with seafood.
Yvonne K.

I came here for lunch and there's a couple things that I wasn't impressed with, but overall majority I liked it. We ordered the fried egg rolls, the specialty spring roll, the regular spring roll, the stir fried egg noodles, and the shaking beef. I also requested a bowl of their broth. Let's start with the main dishes. The shaking beef was well cooked. It was tender pieces of meat and the vegetables were not soggy. It tastes great but was a little surprised that the citrus taste was so light. The egg noodles were good, but heavy on the carrots and cabbage which seemed slightly over cooked. Out of all the egg rolls we tried, get the specialty. Their sausage they use is delicious! Really brings the whole roll together. Finally, the broth. The broth is light, fragrant, almost floral. I was a little confused because I asked for the broth they used in their beef pho but I supposed marrying the two would make it tasty. It was also a little sweet which I thought was interesting. I normally would use a pinch of sugar but this seemed to purposely be a bit more. If you're looking for decent Vietnamese food, try this place out. They have a couple of diamonds in their menu that's definitely worth trying.

This is a relatively new business, 3 month's or so i believe here at the location by Fred Meyer off college street. They have a simple but clean modern decor, plenty of seating but not on top of each other. I counted tables and chairs and 40 people could be sitting to eat at once. Plus off to the left when you walk in you have a boba counter, so if you are not in the mood to eat you can always just grab a Boba . The food was pretty good, not excellent but definitely above average. The service was friendly and helpful but obviously still new and trying to do well. Vermicelli bowls, shaking beef, fried rice, Pho, and beef stir fry. All were prepared well. I would repeat here for sure.

Pros: good quality food, authenticity, ample seating and parking Cons: smaller portion by comparison to comparable restaurants, some food items have room for improvement

They hold against the teeth the way good noodles should. The broth comes through, then the pork, and then the marinated egg with its dark, quiet flavor. It is more authentic than the ramen you buy at the Asian grocer and take home to make yourself. There is something different about a bowl made by someone who knows what the bowl is supposed to be. The room was not what you might imagine when you think of ramen. It was somewhere between a teriyaki place and a sandwich shop. The building was full of businesses and the room belonged to the building. There was nothing wrong with that. A man does not need much from a room when he has a good bowl in front of him. The waitresses understand this. They come by often. They look at the table and see what is needed. Water. Another thing. Anything that is not quite right. They take care of it. That matters. It is a good bowl of ramen, and they take good care of you while you eat it.

This was our third or fourth time eating here, and it has become our go-to whenever we're in Olympia or Lacey and craving Thai food. We were the first table of the day, so we were greeted and seated right away. I also have to mention that the restroom was spotless and smelled nice, which is always a good sign when you walk into a restaurant! I get the same thing every single time...the chicken yellow curry, which they call "My Woman Curry." I still find the name hilarious and interesting! I always order a spice level 3, and for someone who loves spicy food, it's exactly what I want. It's spicy enough to have a kick but still packed with flavor. Not the kind of spicy that just burns your face off and overpowers everything else! My sister-in-law got the duck curry, which she absolutely LOVES, and she ordered a level 2 spice, which she says is perfect for her. Sean got the same curry as me, and our daughter got the beef Pad Thai with a level 3 spice. For an appetizer, we shared the chicken satay with peanut sauce and the cucumber salad that comes alongside it. That cucumber salad is so good! It has a delicious marinade that pairs perfectly with the spicy food and gives you that cool, refreshing bite in between. The service is always friendly, the restaurant is clean, and I really like the decor and atmosphere. It's just a great little spot for a flavorful Thai meal. If you're in the Olympia/Lacey area and craving Thai, definitely give Esan Zap a try. We'll keep coming back!

I understand that many Thai restaurants have to adjust their flavors to accommodate international taste buds, and I completely understand that. However, this place has a handful of dishes on the menu that actually taste like home and for me, that says a lot. There is something about finding those familiar, authentic flavors that immediately brings you back. Not everything has to be completely traditional for me to enjoy it, but when I find dishes that remind me of the Thai food I know and love, I definitely take notice. Among the many Thai restaurants I've tried, this is one I continue to come back to.

I know a lot of…read morethe reviews reference that its $48 a person, which I agree is kinda steep since you have to pay for drinks like a can of soda separately for an extra $3. And if you want something a little fancier, they do have mocktails at $8. I spent $185 including tip and taxes for 3 people. The set up is nice as you can grill and have soup on the next grill. They do have a few booths and then some tables. But if youre a larger party, you might get split up if they're busy. I'd recommend reservations if you have a large party. But getting to the food. For the Hotspot portion, you can pick 2 broths and its set up in a yingyang formatted pot. Then you go to the "buffet line" to get your veggies, meats and etc. They do have some hot foods like chicken wings and some type of fried roll. Hotspot was just okay. I was hoping for more flavor. The kbbq was just okay too. But one thing to keep in mind, this spot does not have the exhaust pipes/hood like they do at kbbq to help with the air, so prepare to smell. Leave your fancy/dry cleaning clothes at home. When my friends and I went, it got pretty hot inside, and there was only a box fan. So being next to a grill and no A/C made it more hot and uncomfortable. Maybe its changed now hopefully. The staff was nice and service was decent. Oh, and they do have an ice cream machine, so that's what made this spot like a 3.5 out of 5.

Unfortunately, I was looking at an outdated menu on Yelp, so the spicy tofu soup is no longer on the lunch specials, AND if you want a "lunch special," it needs to be specified when placing the order. I assumed that because it was lunch time, I would be paying the lunch pricing? That wasn't the case when I arrived. Parking seems to only be on the same side as the barber shop (which i think is connected to the restaurant as well?). When I walked in, I didn't really check out the place. Seems like a classic no-frills Korean restaurant. An ajumma (아줌마) appeared at the register after a couple seconds (lol that is the first description that came to mind). I informed her of my phone order and she brought out the food and rang me up for around $55? I was thinking, yikes, that's a steep price for a spicy tofu soup and a lunch special of the galbi and mentioned it to her. She told me that the portion made is not the lunch special and next time, make sure to specify that over the phone if I want the Lunch special or dinner portion. She clarified, while acting out the mannerisms, of customers that would complain about the Lunch special, because they would want a dinner portion instead, so she just places general orders as the dinner portion. (I can already imagine the Karens she must have received for her reaction, which is understandable, but at the time, I was just slightly irritated since I was hoping to pay a cheaper price.) I am assuming after this experience, there is a difference in portion size for the lunch and dinner pricing.. Besides the miscommunication, I can at least say that the food was prepared quickly since it was ready by the time I arrived at the restaurant (about 15 mins after I placed the order?). With the outcast weather, I was craving some soondubu, and Seoul Garden definitely delivered! The tofu portions were generous and the broth was the right amount of spicy where you can taste the flavor but it is not overwhelming. I was not expecting so many complementary sides either! They paired very well with the rice and galbi, which was thoroughly marinated in a delectable glaze. Even though I was initially frustrated that I received the dinner portion, I calmed down after eating the galbi. My son and I actually ended up devouring it.. the food was so good, I totally forgot about the pricing at the moment. Just keep in mind though, this place is not advertised as KBBQ, so you're paying for individual plates/dishes/orders that should already be cooked. I would only recommend this restaurant if there are certain staples you really enjoy (i.e. you're only craving bulgogi but don't want to go out to eat or grill it), because it is arguably just as expensive as KBBQ. But if you're a foodie that can afford it, I'd suggest stopping by to try it out yourself! :)

Just a bit frustrating since I know Doordash charges more.. I also didn't want to place the order at the restaurant because I was so hungry and wanted to grab & go :( I was really craving pho and I liked their menu, so I took the chance and ordered both a regular-sized Meatball Pho (pho bo vien) and their Pho with Steak/Flank/Tendon/Fatty, which seems to be their "pho dac viet." On their menu, the price is listed as $15.99 for a Regular size and $17.99 for a Large. I paid $17.99 for each through Doordash for the regular-size, excluding the almost $4 of tax and bag fee.. Thankfully, I live nearby, so it was just a few minutes to drive over. It's in the same busy parking lot as Safeway and McDonald's but it's more on the opposite side, so I never realized it was in the same lot. Plenty of parking, at least. When I entered, the restaurant had plenty of seating but only a few tables occupied, which made me wonder why they didn't answer their phone.. I know I'm being petty over a few dollars but I just want to get bang for my buck. The inside looked nice and cozy, and I think would be a lovely place to enjoy a bowl of pho on an outcast/rainy day otherwise (if I didn't just want to go straight home lol). I was instantly greeted by a friendly employee that asked if I had a takeout order and escorted me over to a small table, where it was already neatly bagged and ready for me to retrieve. Now, the FOOD. I will say, it was absolutely delicious! Everything was organized and packaged well, so nothing spilled on the ride home. The pho was a good temperature: hot enough to cook the steak, but not overpowering enough to burn your mouth. The regular size still provides ample portions, so both my kiddo and I ate half for lunch, and our other half for dinner. I specifically asked for no beans sprouts with my order, so I do like that they provided enough for my son while still following my instructions. I am not too picky about my pho broth, but I can at least say, the broth here was not watered down. If anything, it might pack too much flavor and might deter some customers, but for me, it was savory and divine! I still had to add my obligatory hoisin and Sriracha sauces, so it might not be the healthiest, but i don't care, I slurped up everything! I usually post images of my food on social media [stories], and actually had a friend ask what the soup was because it looks really good. Some people have a finer palette for "good" Pho but for me, pho is pho as long as it is flavorful and there's a fair amount of MEAT! They offer moderate portions here so I can't complain, and everything was satisfying enough when eaten with the broth. 4 stars because they didn't answer the phone but my son and I devoured everything, so we can at least advocate that the pho is worth it! I'd recommend trying out this restaurant at least, especially if you consider yourself a pho connoisseur (or even a newbie to pho!).

Good Service Pleasant atmosphere Our host was wonderful The cons: It's significantly overpriced. While the food is good the prices charged are "premium" and the food received just doesn't match the cost. I am saying this as someone who cooks "everything" from scratch including making my own pasta. Another example - a bottle of Lambrusco they carry costs $12-15 which makes a standard 5oz glass cost about $3. They charged $13 per glass! I completely understand markups, it's normal to do in the restaurants, but 300% + markup is a bit much. The atmosphere of the restaurant while lovely doesn't match it's high price. For example - black plastic table covers that look unappealing. I wouldn't have an issue with it if my final bill wasn't so high.
