    Assorted Sushi
    Rose D.

    My fiance and I love this sushi place when we are around this area. Infact we ordered from this sushi place on doordash as well when I delivered my son and it was just as good and hit the spot. The service is quick and they have wonderful sushi. I will say the restaurant itself is on the smaller side but is cozy. There is convenient street parking as well, but we did pay for parking.

    Grain House offers consistently good, affordable sushi and ramen. The set up is unique, you order at the counter, then find your seat. There's a self serve station of sauces, utensils, and napkins for you to help yourself to - which I kinda like. The food comes out when it's ready. Simple food done right. Great location and cute interior.

    Wanted a quick bite to go and decided to try this spot. There were a couple of other groups here when we went but we were able to order right away through a tablet. And in about 5-10 minutes we got our order. It ended up being a pretty below mid banh mi, also really expensive for what you get. It didn't really seemed filled, the bread did not taste fresh or crisp or flaky. I didn't find either of the meat flavoring very good either, overall I would recommend to avoid (atleast for banh mi, maybe I'll try the pho or sushi or drinks)

    Fire Mountain Roll ---yummy!
    Susan R.

    Stopped in here after a busy day of work in Seattle. Staff is great, the restaurant is very clean and the food is amazing! I ordered the fire roll and a cup of hot tea with a side of both the salad and the miso soup. Their homemade salad dressing is so, so good !! Everything was amazing, prices are reasonable, and I'll be back!!

    Beef Pho Noodle Soup
    Diana C.

    The food relative to cost was really good in this area so bonus points for value. We had the vegetarian pho and the beef pho. My partner liked his beef pho quite a bit. I liked my broth and veggies/tofu, but we both agreed there's too many noodles in it. The drinks were really good (classic boba and Thai tea). We were impressed at the quality of the sushi too - we split a spider roll. Overall there were lots of vegetarian options on the menu too. Overall, we felt the food was much better than we would have anticipated for the overall ambiance (seems much more like a grab and go place and the dine in was pretty dead when we arrived). I can see why they keep it more relaxed and casual though being so close to Seattle U. The service was good and friendly. You order at the front and they bring it out. I'd definitely go back for the drinks and to try their bahn mis too.

    takeout roll and banh mi
    Jiamae W.

    Was a tad disappointed getting some take out from here. One sushi roll and one banh mi for almost $30. The sushi roll (Tiger roll) was tasty but extremely small and thin. You would need many many rolls here to be even near satisfied. The banh mi on the other hand, I was excited for the pate inside since many other options in this area do not have it. But even though it was on their menu, it was unfortunately not in the sandwich itself. The bread on the banh mi was also very tough to chew through. Lastly I added a miso soup and it was not normal, it feels like they added some soy sauce? Dark brown and too salty. Overall there were definitely a few things I wish were different with my experience here but I haven't tried it in person.

    Tofu vermicelli bowl
    Louise F.

    I'm not sure I ordered the right thing from their menu to really be judging anything but they had so many varying options it was kinda overwhelming. Sushi and Japanese rice bowls, but also pho and Vietnamese vermicelli bowls? i wanted to attempt to pick a healthy option where I could save a portion to eat another day so I got the tofu vermicelli bowl. The tofu was kinda bland, and the bowl also had veggies and peanuts. The only taste profile was basically the sauce. My friend got a sushi and liked it through.

    Orgasm Roll, Fire Mountain Roll - IG @bougiefoodieboi
    Kyle W.

    This is a fairly affordable fast casual restaurant that serves a variety of Asian food, more specifically Japanese and Vietnamese, such as sushi, ramen, pho, and banh mi. We personally tried 2 sushi rolls - the orgasm roll and fire mountain roll. Overall, I enjoyed it but the rolls are a bit on the too salty side. Each order came with either miso soup or salad, so I opted for the miso soup, which is a bit too salty. The fire mountain roll is fairly aesthetic and has spicy tuna, salmon, white tuna, and masago, with California roll as the base. The orgasm roll they say is the most popular item, perhaps because of the name, but more so it is really delicious. It is a baked roll with fried shrimp inside and salmon on top, among others. Portions can be a little light so I would say it will take 2 rolls to be full, but it is a nice place to go for a meal that you can more easily adjust in terms of portions.

    brisket pho
    Ellie C.

    Came with friends and we all got pho and a thai milk tea. The food was really yummy and just what we needed on a chilly day! Service was super friendly and fast. There are tables inside and we saw people coming in to grab takeout orders as well. It was cute inside. Would come here again soon!

    Calamari sticks (8), and salad
    Timothy I.

    Has a pretty casual ambience resembling a café. We spoke with the owners - nice people to talk to, by the way - who mentioned that it's popular with a lot of students, especially those who live in the nearby dorms, who want some affordably priced sushi. We ordered quite a variety of things, all quite interesting. The calamari sticks oddly resembled mozzarella sticks and felt a bit unusual but were still fried to perfection. The pho was also interesting as you could pick your broth and two proteins instead of just ordering from a standard menu. The end result was ok - the broth could have used more flavor and I would have preferred to see more garnishes - but it kept me tided over. The sushi was by far the highlight, with a creative menu and lots of variety. We ended up getting the Fish Kettle, the Xoxo, and some sake Nigiri. The Xoxo was nice and crispy and generously dressed with sauce. The Fish Kettle had enough fresh raw fish to satisfy me (though it was lacking in the hot oil department - which I was hoping would be a highlight based on the menu description). The rolls are a little small but they still pack a lot of flavor, and the quality of the seafood is about what you pay for at $11-13 a roll. They also come with side salads that are mostly lettuce and cucumber but come with an intriguing ginger dressing. Overall a solid place whose main draw is its variety, affordability, and proximity to the University. It's more casual eatery than traditional sushi bar, but I still look forward to stopping by again to check out more of their sushi.

    Beef Pho w/ beefball and mushroom
    Irene L.

    This is just for the beef pho w/ beef meatball and mushrooms that I tried. While the amount of food was a good amount for the price 12.95 + tax&tip but the broth flavor could be improved. The broth was sweet which I liked but there wasn't enough aroma from the usual pho spices. I wish there was a better taste in that aspect. I asked for boiled beansprouts which they gladly complied. I understand that mushrooms are probably for the vegetarians but it didn't add much to the pho so I would suggest to get a different meal option if you can. Beef meatballs are standard. I'm glad I got to try this new restaurant but if I were to come back, I would probably not get pho, my friend got the beef stew ramen that she demolished, she did end up having to season it more with soy sauce and pepper. It's nice that they have additional seasonings for people to customize a bit.

Fast forward a year later to a Sunday at 12:30pm and I finally made the long drive here without going through Aurora Ave since my GPS randomly decided to give my road rage some grace. This place has plenty parking around the perimeter, so it was easy settling in. Only confusion was finding the entrance to this place, but when I did I was actually surprised where I was stepping into. Inside is laid back and cool with plenty of seating for groups of various sizes. There's tables and booths, and I got booth seating for myself when I walked in. There's a TV playing sports nearby where I was, and Vietnamese pop music was playing in the background too. Menu consists of regular foods in most Vietnamese restaurants, though their provincial noodle soups and banh mi sandwiches caught my eye. They even have bún măng vịt (duck and bamboo shoot noodle soup), my favorite that I gotta try next time I come here! From my IG feeds and as a starting point, I got their bánh mì thịt heo nướng (grilled pork Vietnamese sandwich), which comes with all the works of a regular banh mi sandwich, though I was kinda surprised how brightly orange the grilled pork was. Regardless, it was tasty and the meat was juicy. The pork pate added a nice savory touch to the sandwich, and no other condiment was in excess that it took away taste from the flavorful grilled pork. Staff was very kind throughout, and refilled my water every now and then. It was also nice chatting with one of them about our day and other recommendations from the menu. There's so much to have on their menu so I need to make the drive here again to have more of their stuff!

I can't say it was anything super special but it was definitely worth a try. Food & drink: (4/5) There are for sure certain items that they excel at and some that need some work. We got the banh uot tower with heo quay, banh khot, banh mi chao, and com tam. I see the appeal of the eye catching banh uot tower, but unfortunately I felt like it was very mediocre. I felt like the portion of veggie and meat wasn't enough for all the rice rolls, plus the actual heo quay was dry with barely any crispy skin. I think they also forgot to give us the heo quay because we had to ask for it much after the banh uot came out. I would skip this next time. I would also skip the banh khot as it was on the softer, chewier side when my personal preference is light and crispy. Those who do like it soft will definitely enjoy it though. As for flavor, it had an extremely prominent coconut taste- it usually isn't so strong in banh khot so I wasn't so fond of this. My family did really enjoy the com tam and banh mi chao. I only had one bite of each, but I would get these items again. Their drinks on the other hand, were delightful. I got the tamarind black tea and my step dad got the lychee green tea.
