    Thai tea
    Tia P.

    The pho here is amazing! I got a Thai tea, brisket, steak and tendon bowl, and my partner got a veggie bowl. The broth is delicious and they gave me plenty of toppings and noodles! I like how they have a self serve station for sauces, fix ins (sprouts, limes etc) and a water dispenser. Service was pretty quick after ordering. You order at the counter first and then after ordering you are allowed to pick a table. I came New Year's Day right at opening and it was packed but I was still able to get a table right after ordering! Decor here is cute and green which is very claiming.

    Lovely pho place. Cant wait to go back on a moody rainy day in seattle. The atmosphere is very inviting. It's an order at the counter, self serve toppings sort of place and its just how I like it! I love being able to pick out how much of each topping i would like in my pho. The pho flavor was very delicious, as someone who has recently been to Vietnam, I can attest to it tasting true to the source.

    Finally came to try this place after passing by it a lot. Portion sizes were generous. The service was super friendly and speedy. It was pretty busy but everything came out fast. Interior is clean and spacious. Got the shrimp spring rolls and they were good. The peanut sauce was extra peanut buttery. Also both got #3s and the brisket was the best part. The broth flavor was soooo good but my noodles were a little soggier than i like it. Also got the hawaiian lemonade and i would say this is pretty unique as I haven't seen it at other places. Lemonade with pineapple juice and lihing powder. Would come back!

    My very lovely vermicelli bowl.

    I love this spot. Order at the front, take a number to your table and wait for the goodness to arrive. I ordered the vermicelli noodle bowl with tofu, it was everything I look for in a vermicelli noodle bowl-hearty, flavorful, and fresh. The service is great, water is available at the front, the restaurant is spotless. Nice people here, we'll return.

    The pho is tasty! A bit on the salty side for me though. Wouldn't say it's the best pho but it's pretty good for seattle i think. They're also pretty skimpy on the meat and the meatballs were more like meat slices which is interesting We had to stand around to wait for a table after ordering but the wait wasnt long for a holiday. Just felt like we were in the way while standing since there's not much room inside

    BanhMi Sandwich-Beef *(yummmm)
    Lee W.

    Food was delicious, service was top notch and ambiance was just fine for some pho. The Beef Pho Chin was excellent, what took it to the next level was their incredible peanut chili oil (all flavor, minimal spice). The side cart of lime, been sprouts and mint helped too I also got to try the Beef Banh Mi. This was delicious!! Loved everything about it, especially the garlic mayo Lastly I had their Hawaiian Lemonade. Again delicious and another item I'd recommend to order. If I was a local to the area, I'd be here weekly

    Love this pho place!! The broth is good and comes out piping hot! The toppings bar is such a great idea..first time I've seen that and it just makes sense! It's an easy and fast place to get your pho fix. Cute bathroom too lol

    Candice L.

    Unlike other pho places, Lucky's is more of a self-served restaurant where you pay for your order up front, find your own table, and even getting your own greens of choice (bean sprouts, basil, lime), but they bring out the dishes to you. I came here on Sunday right after they opened, and it was already pretty crowded. The service was very quick though. I was able to get my pho within minutes after I ordered. I got the #5 which had a mix of beef. It was delicious! I'm usually not a soup person but the broth was very good. It was rich in flavor but not too greasy. The beef wasn't the best quality but solid. I'd come back and try their bahn mi and iced viet coffee!

    We both really liked our pho. This was probably one of my fave veggie phos I've had in Seattle and I've tried a lot. You order up front and then they bring it to your table. The toppings are at a bar in the front to self serve. They do have vegan or dairy free Thai tea with boba too! It's a smaller spot and can get busy so get there early so you don't have to wait on a table to free up.

    Wow-we stopped by for lunch today in the vibrant, Fremont area of Seattle on a very cold & sunny day. There was a steady stream of customers and we were happy to have ordered and found a table for four. Three of the four ordered Pho while I ordered the vermicelli noodle salad with chicken. As my husband said "yours was so good that I wished I had ordered it but then my pho was so good I would have been disappointed if I had not ordered it" so you see, it was a win win.

    Pork Banh Mi, Pho Ga and green tea
    Ferdinand C.

    Although the place was small and busy, it was very clean! The staff bused tables right away; so, we just waited a few minutes for a table. The Pork Banh Mi and Pho Ga were amazingly delicious. The Banh Mu was warm, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The vegetable broth in the Pho was perfect for our taste, not salty. They provided condiments to add to your soup or any order. We recommend this little place a "must taste"

I remember the days when you'd see them sitting at the corner table, hand-folding wontons right in front of you. They've gotten so busy now that they do it in the back, and if you don't time your visit right, be prepared to wait in a long line. This is my absolute go-to combo on a chilly day, and honestly, the best hangover cure: Wonton Noodle Soup, Cod Fish Congee, Chinese Broccoli, and Chinese Donuts (Youtiao).You cannot skip the donuts--they are a must! My personal ritual is adding a splash of pink vinegar and chili paste into the congee, dipping the donut in, and taking a huge bite. It's pure comfort that warms you up from the inside out and instantly heals a tired soul. My husband prefers the beef wonton noodle soup because it's rich and hearty, but I love the classic, clean flavor of the plain wonton soup with its seafood-based broth. A quick heads-up: The service is typical for an authentic, bustling Chinese restaurant--don't expect fancy fine-dining treatment, but the staff is genuinely friendly and efficient. Also, **it's CASH ONLY**, so come prepared! Among the handful of restaurants I've stayed loyal to for 20+ years, this spot holds a very special place in my heart. Highly recommended!

Writing this sucks and also I feel like I'm giving a completely honest and fair review of last night (Friday, June 19, 2026) from 7 to 8:30pm ish. Two hairs - one in my kaisen champon, one in my partner's niku udon. A dead bug in the niku udon. A staff member walking the floor actively bleeding from his nose with a napkin stuffed into it. Any one of these on its own would have been a rough night. All three in the same meal is something else ‍ The kitchen is small and open so you can see and hear everything, which meant we also got a front row seat to the chef yelling at his staff multiple times throughout the evening. The team was clearly working hard and seemed genuinely understaffed, but the kitchen felt like it was coming apart at the seams. We were in line to order for about five minutes, during that time we heard the employee at the register say to the man in front of us that there is no more summer special cold udon flight. Bummer, but totally understand. The menus are acrylic boards at the ordering counter, there were two for the two specials and they were left up when we went to order. The employee told me that unfortunately they have run out of the other special (not the flight). She turned around to do something else for a bit, came back, so I ordered the flight and she said they don't have that either. LOL okay!! No worries! I asked if any of the udon can be made cold? She asked the head chef. He yells back that he has no time for this. Like a good one minute lecture, yelling at the staff. So sorry I made him yell at this poor girl I ordered kaisen champon and my partner ordered the niku udon. We waited for a good 30 mins for our food. Fine we like each other enough to spend time with each other and can clearly see it is chaos in the kitchen. We get our food. We didn't get utensils with our food, and were told "I'll grab utensils for you, sorry about that" So we just sat there waiting for utensils. Food is good but there are hairs and a bug ‍ During our time waiting the water wasn't ever filled (it's self serve) so after our food came I asked for water three times, kept getting "I'll refill it". The chawanmushi showed up 20+ minutes after our food, basically as we were finishing. And they don't have to-go containers, which fine, but worth knowing. I've given this place real chances. Last night felt like a hygiene issue, an understaffed kitchen, and a service breakdown all stacked on top of each other. Usually we go during lunch so maybe that's my recommendation moving forward - I'm giving this place a rest from the rotation for now.

The sayap ayam pedas was a huge portion for just 2 people, but we couldn't stop eating. The combination of soy sauce and fish sauce was not overpowering at all and the chicken itself was so juicy. The chicken curry in the nasi lemak was delicious with the coconut rice. Along with the anchovies, egg, peanuts, and sambal, it was a choose-your-own-adventure kind of bite. The kaya toast was the perfectly sweet dish to balance out all the flavors. I especially loved dipping it in the poached egg for a satisfyingly runny bite.

We walked into a casual, compact space with a mix of counter and table seating that fits the quick ramen shop style. The interior is efficient and well organized, though it can get extremely busy, and the wait times are often one of the biggest parts of the experience, especially during peak hours. Once seated, the space feels functional and comfortable, designed around getting a bowl of ramen in front of you without unnecessary distractions. The ramen is built around rich tonkotsu broth with a lot of customization options. We appreciated the ability to adjust things like noodle firmness, richness, and spice level, which made each bowl feel more personalized. The regular tonkotsu ramen stood out for its deep umami flavor without feeling overly heavy, and the noodles had a great texture that held up well against the broth. The vegan options also stand out, including miso-based bowls with flavorful broths that give non-pork options more depth than many ramen shops offer. The toppings are generous, and the soft-boiled egg was cooked to that perfect jammy consistency. Beyond ramen, the menu has a few sides that complement the meal well, including gyoza that came out crisp and well filled. We also grabbed mochi ice cream for something sweet afterward, a light finish after the rich broth. The seasonal ramen options are worth checking out since they add variety beyond the standard bowls, giving regular visitors a reason to come back and try something new. Service is generally quick and friendly, especially considering how busy the restaurant gets. The ordering system is straightforward, and the staff handles the constant flow of customers efficiently. The team kept the pace moving without making the experience feel rushed, and they were attentive to refilling water and checking in on the table. The biggest downside is the popularity, since the lines can sometimes feel long for a relatively quick meal, but the wait tends to move faster than expected given the efficient turnover. Ramen Danbo is a reliable spot for a satisfying bowl of ramen in Seattle. The customizable bowls, strong broth, and consistent noodle quality make it a place worth visiting, although planning around busy hours can make the experience much better. The balance of customization and quality means you can dial in your bowl exactly how you like it, and the focused approach to the menu keeps the attention where it belongs.

This place is a true gem, serving satisfying, delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere at an affordable price. The restaurant looks small from the front, but space is used efficiently and they manage to fit quite a bit of seating into not that large of a dining room. Tables are mostly four tops, quite spacious at that, and surrounded by sturdy wooden chairs. I came for dinner on a Friday evening and there were a few other tables at any given time. Service was quick and our water never ran empty. We had the wontons in hot oil, topped with peanuts, I had the beef chow fun, and my dinner buddy had the pork with hot sauce noodles. The wontons are very very good, stuffed with flavorful pork and swimming in a sauce that sits in that perfect spot at the intersection of hot and sour. The peanuts and scallions add a delightful crunch. Their beef chow fun satisfies every bit of childhood nostalgia I have for this dish, with lots of wok hei, bouncy noodles, and the most tender of beef. I think my favorite beef chow fun in the city still lives at A+ Hong Kong Kitchen, but this is a close second. The portion here is also huge. I am a human vacuum and I actually brought leftovers home, which is rare for me. The pork with hot sauce noodles is seemingly a fusion of zha jiang mian and dan dan noodles. My friend really enjoyed it and actually finished the whole thing, which is saying something given that she doesn't usually eat that much.

The start of the journey began with the requisite parking fiasco and issues that are perpetual in the Seattle ID...but that should never, and I mean never, stop an important mission like finding a truly delicious noodle restaurant. When we went in, it was pretty empty. We were immediately sat, and ordered. The hot jasmine tea quickly followed. Our Calamari came out quick and was delicious to the point I nearly had to fight my son for the last piece. I quickly surrendered as he does stab people...see above...he parried my fork and stabbed the last piece before quickly finishing the move. Our mains came out shortly after we finished the calamari. The 14yo ordered beef brisket noodle soup. He said it was delicious, but too spicy after he added too much chili oil. The wife scoffed at the idea that there's such a thing as too much chili oil and ate some of his soup. This was after she dug into her hot pot. I did get a chance to sample the delicate pork pieces and the flavorful rice. The slightly crispy rice at the bottom of the pot were so delicious. I had the Singapore style fried noodles. Really tasty. The noodles had so many flavors from the vegetables to the meats (shrimp, chicken meat & egg, and pork) and the sauce. I enjoyed the meal, and look forward to discovering more dishes to try on our adventures trying to find parking. JuFeng, thank you for the delicious meal!
