    What a beautiful and cool place to be. There is some street parking around the area and a decent amount of seating inside. It's bright, cozy, and cool inside. There is a community space that you can borrow and book out! There's a little store front in the back that you can get some cool and unique things. We got the Ca Phe Sua Da and Ca Phe Chuoi, with a Banh Mi Pa Te. The drinks were made well, tasted delicious, and nostalgic. The banh mi was super flavorful and I crave it often. Everything was great! Staff was busy but nice and they were helpful with questions. A good experience for traditional Viet coffee and snacks but also some modern takes with traditional flavors. I would recommend for small groups, a casual date, or just some nostalgic and traditional flavors. I will be coming back!

    Pandan Croissant - Made with coco pandan condensed milk, butter, and fleur de sel. Unfortunately, the added butter overwhelmed the croissant and took away from the pandan flavor. It ended up tasting very savory, with very little pandan coming through, and it was also quite messy to eat. Cà Phê Chuối - One of their most popular drinks, likely because it's on the sweeter side and very creative. It features caramelized banana, coconut, pandan egg whip, salted peanuts, and banana chips. The combination is unique and enjoyable, especially if you like dessert-style coffee drinks. Cà Phê Brûlée - A torched egg coffee that I highly recommend ordering hot. Be sure to grab a spoon, you'll need it to crack the caramelized egg layer and mix it in. Drinking it straight through a straw means you'll miss the brulee flavor entirely. Plenty of street parking!

    I finally got to come out here and tried one of the egg cream coffees. Coffee was strong and bitter (not a bad thing) and the egg cream was very rich and sweet, which paired together well. When I went there was an event going on in the space, so it was crazy chaos and crowded. It was hard to chill and enjoy my drink. I also didn't know they serve food so next time I'll come for both instead of eating elsewhere and coming here after for drinks. I'm looking forward to coming back!

    My friends really wanted to try Vietnamese coffee in the area, so we decided to visit Hello Em Viet Coffee. They had a really intriguing menu, and the inside was also nicely decorated, displaying some rustic aspects you might see if you were actually in Vietnam. DRINKS: Unfortunately, I wasn't very impressed by their drinks. The flavors fell a bit flat to me, and they were pretty pricey considering the small volume you receive. The cups were adorable and aesthetic, but they made mixing your drinks difficult. Cà Phê Chuối (3/5) - A really pretty-looking drink. My eyes enjoyed it more than my taste buds. The strong coffee flavor was there, but it only tasted bitter and lacked depth. The hints of banana I did taste were pleasant, though. Trà Chôm Chôm (3.5/5) - Rambutan and passion fruit oolong tea drink. It was more sour than I was expecting, but I didn't mind it. SERVICE: My friend wanted her drink adjusted, and they were very receptive about it. Drinks also came out quickly. TLDR// I found this place and its drinks super visually charming. Unfortunately, I wasn't very impressed by the taste of the drinks. Many people seemed to enjoy the food here, so maybe if I ever stop by again, I'll order some food.

    I came back to Hello Em and decided to try the Cà Phê Chuối and Cà Phê Brûlée this time. Both drinks were okay. But they didn't quite capture that deep, robust flavor you usually get from traditional cà phê. The Cà Phê Chuối had a nice hint of banana, but I wish the coffee came through a bit stronger. The Cà Phê Brûlée was fun and creamy, though a bit on the lighter side for my taste. The service was friendly and attentive, which I always appreciate. The interior is spacious and airy, with plenty of room to sit and chat or get some work done. Even though the drinks weren't my favorite this round, I still like the overall vibe and will probably be back to try something different next time.

    I like this cafe! They have good egg coffee and sandwiches where are all made to order. Service was fast and I particularly enjoyed the graphics on the cup. I came on a Sunday afternoon before closing and was surprised to find this place packed! All the seats inside were taken with us ultimately siting outside on the stairs right outside the cafe. I wonder what the business level is on a weekday which might be a better time to visit if seating is very important to you.

    Good coffee to try, however, it doesn't give the traditional Vietnamese coffee taste to me. It felt like there was a lack of sweetness/condensed milk in the drink. Essentially the coffee tasted like American coffee but with some sweetness. The torched egg foam was nice to drink. The cà phê chuối had too much cream/foam for me. But gave a bit more of the traditional Viet coffee taste. The service was good. Our questions were answered and it didn't take too long for the drinks to be made. The ambiance is nice. Nicely decorated and organized with good lighting.

    It's such a cute and small coffee shop right outside of China town. I love that there were coffee and food options. The service was friendly and patient as they answered all our questions. We ordered 2 sandwiches, and a few coffees to try. Their banana milk is pretty good. Plain with no coffee.

    Super cute restaurant with a lot of decorations and a really cute seating area. There were a good amount of seats too. I didn't love my drink but would still give this place 4 stars bc the workers were very happy to make adjustments after I tried it. I also liked my friend's ca phe chuoi a lot and would have been happy to drink that one as it was Ca phe la dua: 2/5. The coffee flavor was super strong, which is kind of expected with Vietnamese coffee. But I was expecting a lot more pandan and condensed milk flavor based on the description. It was good after I added pandan foam, but I wouldn't have been able to finish this as it was originally made

    Love the coffee. We will have to try their food next time but had stopped in before going to brunch with friends. I had their coffee at a desert shop in West Seattle (Happy Pandy) which I also recommend. The coffee was so good that I had to get some for home and of course had them make us a delicious coffee while we were there. The Egg custard they put on my latte was interesting and certainly worth it. A fun little shop that has great coffee. The roaster himself was the one to help us and it was very nice chatting with him about the coffee and what they have to offer. While not the most convenient location, lots of street parking and well worth it!

    This one was a seasonal drink with apple jelly or something and esspresso not my favorite

    The sandwiches were pretty good, but the coffee was even better! My boyfriend and shared 5 drinks between the two of us. I really enjoyed the cafe Maggie the Maggie Carmel was delicious and paired so well with this drink! The drinks and food were prepared in a timely manner. The service was nice, the cashier was so patient with us as we were figuring out what to order. This space is so cute, with history on the walls and it was combined with a work space/studio.

    Such a cute gem! Hello 'em has all the things that make a coffee shop delightful- bright open space, enough seating, delicious foods, and enticing drinks. It even has a kids corner and books. On my most recent trip, I got the croissant sandwich. It had eggs, mayo, pate, and then grilled on a panini press. It was so satisfying on flavor and portion size. I didn't get a coffee this time, although it probably would have helped to have a nice hot dark coffee to cut through the food. I'll have to go back!

    Toasted egg coffee
    Vickie Y.

    I got the Torched Egg Coffee and honestly, it looked great but didn't taste good at all. There was way too much foam for my liking, and the coffee itself had a weird, unpleasant flavor. The café space was cute with plenty of low seating and small tables. The only desk-height table was along the wall, but it was pretty dirty. To top it off, a bug fell into my drink after just a few sips -- definitely not the experience I was hoping for.

    The cafe experience was amazing. The ono grindz was perfect and the aromatic coffer.we lovedr

    Do they sell beans?

    Yes they do! They roast them in house too.

    What is the difference between the egg cloud and the egg crème?

    Egg cream is the traditional version, very thick, and very creamy. Egg cloud is much lighter, almost like a thick foam. Plus the egg yolk vs egg white difference that is already mentioned.

    Are any of your coffee keto friendly?

    lol no way they either use condensed milk or coconut milk

My cocktail was a pho broth washed shot of Jameson and it came with a pho broth chaser. Hope I got that right but I almost don't wanna drink Jameson any other way now.

It looked packed but I think a lot of people were at the larger pho Bac sup shop (which is associated w The Boat, but The Boat had plenty of seating at 6:30 on a Sunday night.

The place is right next to their sister location, Pho bar, and share a parking space. It is nice and clean on the inside, and like the name the restaurant is shape like a boat! So far I have been here twice and would definitely come back for a warm meal. The staff were helpful and pleasant! It was roughly a 30 minute wait for the food, but that is to be expected considering this is not a fast-food Restaurant (:

It's a bit pricey for the portions, but overall we enjoyed our meal and I really liked trying dishes beyond the typical spring roll/pho/rice place.

Wish there was more protein. It's located in a bit of a sketchy mall, but it's one of the nicer restaurants located within the mall. The food took a longer than we were expecting, service was a bit more short, but overall it's a nicer sit-down Vietnamese restaurant in the area!

We ended up choosing a place close and were not disappointed at all. This restaurant is located off a busy street but it luckily offers a parking lot which can be hard to come by in Seattle. Because we came on the earlier side, we were seated quite quickly :) The space is pretty large so I don't think I would worry about a wait on a weekday. We were very impressed by the options provided. I usually don't find Bun Bo Hue on the menu often which is what my partner ended up ordering. I ordered the Bun rieu which is even harder to come by. We also ordered the crispy butter garlic wings to share which was a perfect choice. The service was very fast and we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly our stuff came out after placing our order. The portions were also HUGE and we both had enough to take home for a second meal. The Bun rieu was super tomatoey and had a rich flavor which the crab. My mom makes Bun rieu at home and I was very much happy with this bowl too, reminded me a lot of how my mom makes it! The Bun Bo Hue was not super spicy but we appreciated being able to customize. The garlic wings were SOOOO good. So crispy and seasoned so well, we would 100% get these again they were so good. We left very full, warm, and satisfied with this pick. We likely will be back in the near future!

The custard duck egg is an excellent starter, with a rich, savory broth that delivers a deep, yolky umami punch. The rau ram oil and herb is such a creative twist that adds the perfect herbal dimension. The radicchio pudding was light and offered a clean, almost grassy brightness without being overwhelming in flavors. Great option for any vegans at the table. The wagyu beef tallow fries were some of the best fries I've ever had. Ultra-crispy, perfectly thick-cut, and deeply flavorful with beef notes shining through, without being too heavy. Like many of the dishes here, perfectly balanced in flavor. The grilled eggplant with whipped tofu and crispy sun chokes was another standout. The tofu whip was so smooth and should be considered a worthy sub for mayo. The eggplant was soft, creamy, and perfectly charred. The garlic rice was incredibly savory and maybe my favorite version of it yet. Packed with the perfect depth of garlicky flavor and seasoning. Finally for dessert - I thought the durian fruit cup was decent, it's great for durian lovers but next time I will be back to try their other desserts. The hollow bread is a must-try. It's fried to perfection, the inside is steamy and the butter it comes with is perfect but the bread alone is so good that it doesn't need it. The perfect touch of roasted sesame. Slightly sweet, it's a delight in textures and perfect in cold weather. The oyster on half shell in happy hour is also a great standard oyster, very fresh, with a nuanced Viet twist in the sauces. Vegetable dip is pretty standard and also delicious, great if you're looking for a healthy starter. Coffee rubbed ribs were fantastic as well and an incredible deal for the size. Very savory, a little sticky sweet, but not too much. Service was also friendly and the food came out in a reasonable time. One of my favorite restaurants in Seattle, and had fun chatting with regulars next to our table too.

Easy to eat and flavorful on its own but dipping it with Chinsu added spice and more flavor. Bot Chien had a crisp to it and egg was cooked well. You have to dip it in the fish sauce or else there is no flavor. Just something minor but I wish the pickled veggies were more separated. It had the cut lines but not fully cut so you had to separate it yourself. The com tam was alright. All of the components you would usually get for a broken rice dish. The meatloaf was really good. The pork on the other hand was a bit too salty for my liking. And you only get one thin piece... soup on the side was good and was a good way to cleanse the palette. Overall good modern/fancy spin on Vietnamese food but overpriced. Would probably be nice to go during dinner time for some drinks as the ambience seemed better for night time. Good amount of seating. Street parking around the area was easy to find.
