Best Thai iced tea I've ever had!!!…read more If I'm on this side of town I always stop in just for the Thai iced tea.

This has officially become our go-to pho spot. My grandma and I have been here at least six times…read morenow, and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. We always order the round steak pho, and I usually ask for my steak raw on the side. The broth is incredibly clean, balanced, and full of rich beef flavor. It's easily my favorite pho broth in the area, and we've tried a lot of places. The vinegar garlic on the side is a must for building the perfect bite. The shrimp and pork salad rolls are always fresh with great peanut sauce, and the Vietnamese iced coffee is strong in the best way. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is family-owned, and you can really taste the love in the food. The space is always clean and well maintained. I live in Ridgefield, Washington, and whenever I come visit family in Hillsboro, this is the place I want to eat. This spot deserves to be way busier than it is. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out.

This little hole in the wall is located on a strip mall off Murray and Cornell. We just happened…read moreto stumble across it. It truly is a mom and pop small family business where the lady takes the orders and serves you food and the gentleman busses the tables and makes the food. The portion size is huge and the food is delicious. I had to get a doggie bag to take home my leftovers. I got the Cashew Delight with chicken and it was tasty with plenty of chicken pieces and vegetables. Definitely enough to share. Service was good and quick. The restaurant does feel a little dark. They do ask you to pay with cash if you can to help them out because credit cards cost them and they don't pass that charge onto you. They also serve Vietnamese and NY Wings in addition to Thai food. Parking is very convenient since it's a strip mall. I'd come back again.

A go-to for chicken wings.. who would've thought? It was…read morenational chicken wing day a couple days ago.. another excuse to go to CT Bistro for the wings. They are delicious.. a little more than I'd like to pay for wings, but everything is a little more these days. Worth it... and the salad rolls are super fresh tasting - yum! Always greeted with friendly service.. even when we order "to go"... We've had pad woonsen from there and other dishes and this place never disappoints.

I went to Vivi's for the first time about 10 years ago and haven't stopped thinking about it since…read more Unfortunately, it's pretty far and out of the way from where I live, but every time I pass through the area and am hungry for Vietnamese food, I'm hungry for Vivi's. Over the years, I've brought friends and family here, talking it up enough that they're willing to make the journey with me. I always recommend the tofu vermicelli bowl. The fact that my tofu-skeptical father sang its praises after I made him try it is a testament to its flavor. I still think of it as the gold standard of tofu. I was recently in the area for the first time in 5 or 6 years and decided to go back to Vivi's with my mom. It was the first thing that popped into both of our minds-a real jinks moment. I was nervous that it wouldn't live up to our memory. Vivi's had moved around the corner from their old location-a cute, cozy little cafe-but their new restaurant is more spacious, hopefully to accommodate the flocks of diners that their food merits. I got the tofu vermicelli, which was exactly as I remembered, equally flavorful and generous in portion size for $15. My mom got the papaya salad for $5.50. I previously thought I didn't like papaya-I was mistaken. It was a unique and refreshing dish that I would 100% go back for. Vivi's food tastes fresh and nourishing and at the same time satisfying and rich. We were short on time and were prepared to have to take it to go, but our food was out in 10 minutes. I don't usually write reviews, but after so many great experiences over the years it felt long overdue. A small business that has maintained their quality at reasonable prices over the years deserves to be recognized with a recommendation. Give Vivi's a try!

We are regulars here. We've been devouring their pho and other dishes for probably 10 years…read more I do think that over the years the recipe has changed and doesn't hit the spot the same. It's still good but not our #1 place anymore. The staff is always friendly and the restaurant is always clean.

I've stopped by here a couple times for takeout since it's close to where I shop for groceries…read more Both times I ordered different Bahn mi. It's a good Bahn mi with plenty of filling. I like their bread, I see them toast it to make sure it's good. The only con is that I don't think they read the special instructions on the take out order. I asked for extra jalapeno and it looks like normal amount. Another time, I asked for them to cut it in half and that didn't happen either. So double check before you leave!

This is an excellent spot for pho or for a bahn mi on the go…read more The staff and management are kind and intentional about providing reasonable prices and excellent service. The decor is unique and cute with homemade dioramas near the cash register. Booths are comfy and squishy so you can really lock in on the food. If I had one single suggestion for this business, it would be to try and refrain from wrapping sandwiches in cling wrap for to go orders. I understand that, to provide some of the most reasonable prices in the area for this type of cuisine, concessions must be made in other areas. However, plastic wrap tends to impart its scent on breads especially if they're soft. Which does affect the flavor and takes away from how delicious the food is.

Very pretty inside the place tho a little small not sure it's good for big groups. Parking is kinda…read moreconfusing they have their own parking and I parked next door and paid the $5 parking by accident so make sure you park in the right place. Service is great the menus are super cute looking. The food is good. I had the bun Bo hue with big rib bone and my wife has the beef stew. Pretty pleased with meal. Portions are huge will definitely come back. Glad there is finally a decent bun Bo hue place on the west side.

It has potential, it is rare to see a single dish Viet joint on the west side…read more But overall to me it's not a place I want to return but I'm happy I tried it once. The $24 signature is not worth it. While there is a long list of protein, each one outside of the beef shank was one piece. The crab cake especially was a tiny spoonful and inconsistent. A friend has the same dish but his spoonful was "normal sized" whereas mine was not. A bowl of extra noodle does come with broth, however, for $3 dollars I expected a lot more noodles. If I were to return, I would avoid the $24 signature dish. I would just get one of the $19 ones. The broth itself left me wanting more. Every BBH rendition is different and unique just like Japanese Ramen. However, a core base of BBH is lemongrass... and for me I wanted more depth. Other opinions of it being rather sweet is true. While not candy sweet, it's on the sweeter side versus savory side and it was noticeable. If you love, BBH like me, it's worth a try... if you don't the other Viet place in Raleigh Hills near Fred Meyer is way better... and has a better BBH rendition too.

Also, the pad Thai didn't have a very strong flavor profile, I would've liked a little bit more peanut flavor in the sauce. We ended up adding the leftover sauce from our spring rolls to improve the flavor. Pad see ew was perfection, though! With these noodle dishes, they were a little bit on the spicy side for 2 stars, so if you have low spice tolerance, stick to 1 star. We also loved the fresh spring rolls. The sauce it came with was a great pairing.

After cycling through lots of Thai places around town, Thai Bloom has become one of our faves when…read morethe craving hits. My default is the Buddha's Delight with chicken and house-made garlic sauce. It's basically a steam/stir fry loaded with a medley of fresh veggies including broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, cabbage and a balanced proportion of white meat chicken. It's a very good sized plate of food and enough for me to take home some leftovers. My husband enjoys their yellow curry with tofu, potato, onion and medium-spicy, creamy sauce. White jasmine rice comes with the dishes, brown is $1 extra. We also like the fresh salad rolls with prawns, lots of crunchy greens, herbs and sides of chili sauce and a yummy peanut sauce. The restaurant can feel a bit crowded and noisy during peak times. The service varies from average to good and the food comes out pretty quickly. One thing that really needs mentioning is that the run-down building exterior and weedy, unkempt landscape have been very poorly maintained to the point that I think this could reflect negatively on an, otherwise, very good restaurant. I could see this being a real turn-off to someone unfamiliar with the positive qualities of the place. Hope they consider putting some time and energy into improving this.
