    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

    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

    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"

    Wow, does this place do business! I have tried to go several times but consistently find the place packed with no where to sit. I finally beat the crowds by going ridiculously early, but hey, it worked! It's a cute, clean little space. You order at the counter, take a number, help yourself to bean sprouts, basil, lime, etc and find a seat. They will bring your pho to you and also bus your table. Service is fast. As far as I saw, the pho only comes in one size. I got veggies and tofu with veggie broth. It was very flavorful and the perfect antidote to the cold night! If you do come, it might be wise to take out or have a back up plan due to how busy it gets.

    My husband and I were leaving the National Nordic Museum and wanted to grab some food to take home…read moreso we decided to order online at Mean Sandwich. My order was ready at the time that was specified (also received a text when it was done) and according to what I read, they keep your food on a warmer while they wait for you to pick it up. How nice! $20 for a sandwich seems pricey, but let me tell you, they definitely make a MEAN sandwich! The Mean - THICK pieces of juicy corned beef with housemade mustard, pickled red cabbage and mint. The cross section of the sandwich looks insane! The combination of flavors is excellent. The Hama Hama Oyster Po'Boy - Deep-fried Hama Hama yysters with housemade remoulade and lemon-pepper mayo. I loved this. The oysteres were nicely fried with not too much batter. You could really taste the oyster and appreciate the texture. The French roll was also very nice. It was similar to a Vietnamese Banh Mi roll. Soft, but with a light crispness on the outside. Fully Loaded Skins & Ins - Skins & Ins are basically a mixture of fried potato skins and potato chunks so you get a variety of texture: thin and crispy, or soft and meaty. The fully loaded option adds toppings similar to that of a loaded baked potato (white sauce, spices, scallions, and super crunchy bacon bits). This was a nice change from having the usual chips or fries with a sandwich. Parking can be somewhat of a challenge in this area, but if you're able to make it over then I think it's worth visiting.

    this sandwich was highly impressive as the main part of the…read moresandwich, it was pretty necessary that the pork be cooked to near-perfection, and i have to say it was here it gave off a deep, brown-ish color, which showed the extent of it's cooking and marination. It wasn't quite incredibly tender, but the marinade added an absolute ton of flavor. more importantly, it was present plentifully throughout the sandwich, so practically every bite came filled with pork I also have to mention how packed together the ingredients are between the buns. when you start eating, it's inevitable that a quarter of the ingredients will fall onto the wrap below, leaving a nice secondary meal to finish off after the sandwich is done. the sandwich is packed incredibly tight during the wrapping process, but it unravels a bit while eating. for me, the major highlights of this meal was the onions and the aioli Starting with the onions, these may be the best I've ever had on a sandwich. They're caramelized amazingly, placed onto the sandwich in astoundingly large pieces, are crunchy, and there's just a lot of them. They're just wonderful both texturally and taste-wise. This sandwich is absolutely lathered with aioli - practically dripping with it. This boosted the overall flavor so much, especially because this aioli was addictingly good. In my experience, the amount of sauce has been directly proportional to how much I enjoyed a sandwich, and when the sauce is this good - it's even on the top of the bun! - i absolutely loved it Somehow the lettuce stayed crunchy despite all the otherwise wetness going on in the sandwich. Props for that The jalapenos were great as well for that extra bit of spicy - I would've loved to have more of them while the bread was toasted well, the one downside was i thought it was pretty hard and tough, which made chewing kind of difficult. I found my jaw to be pretty tired at the end after eating this. I would've much preferred a softer roll that's easier to bite into I've had similar sandwiches from Paseo and Bongos, and in my opinion this does edge out both of those Comparing to Paseo, the sandwich there has way more oil, making it more sloppy and I do like the bread there a lot better, but the pork feels richer and better marinated here (although less fatty), and the onions are definitely caramelized better here as well. Bongos has a pretty similar level of pork with more, but onions are definitely a step down What moves this place above those two for me is the amount of aioli used here far exceeds those other places, which just makes the overall eating experience better For the price (about 14 dollars) this is a really filling meal

    Roast park sandwich here was awesome! I had gone to Paseo way back in the day, maybe 2007 or 2008,…read moreand the sandwich tasted very similar to what I remember. The rice and beans are also amazing. I think you could probably go with any sandwich that has your preferred protein source and it would be great. The guy working the register taking the orders was super friendly as well. Lots of street parking in the area. They have one bathroom and a good amount of seating. Definitely worth a visit for a great sandwich.

While other Serious Pie locations tend to be semi-upscale-yet-casual pizza joints, this spot felt more like an afterthought with its small, dark space and decidedly hole-in-the-wall vibe. The good news is, the pizza was still delish, as it always is at Serious Pie. We enjoyed the sweet sausage pizza that has become a fave over the years, along with a couple of beers which were served in plastic pint "glasses". Okay, I'm sure this makes me sound like a beer snob, but plastic?! Good beer just doesn't taste good in plastic. (Unless you're at a frat party?) Our server (who, by the way, was excellent) later told us he'd accidentally used the wrong glasses for the beer; so apparently it's something they're fixing. Yay! It was also darn cold inside. We had to keep our coats on the entire time. A door between the restaurant area and the semi-open entrance to what appears to be their central storage area would most likely help. Again, this all probably seems a bit petty. I'll own that. But as someone who loves Tom Douglas and his restaurants, and has had great experiences at other Serious Pie locations, this one was a disappointment. Especially since they're charging the same (some might say elevated) prices as they do at the other locations. Maybe if they called it something else, to differentiate it? Serious Pie Lite? Semi-Serious Pie? I dunno, but I expected just a little bit better from this iconic local brand.

Given today was National Sandwich Day, I decided it was a great day to check them out! The sandwich menu is vast, so I had a hard time deciding what to get. I went with the Reuben ($14.75) (as I read it is made w/ their house-made brisket) and then I also got the Sriracha Chicken Club Melt ($16.75), as it seemed to be popular per reviews. I placed the order online - which was convenient! I showed up a few min late but my order was not ready yet, which was no issue.. the lady working (Rebecca, I think) was apologetic and was hustling. It seemed busy with lots of phone calls and orders. I loved the Reuben - the meat was so tender and not too fatty (which I prefer). Perfect ratios of sauce, meat and bread and not too greasy! Loved it and would order it again for sure. The Sriracha chicken club melt was huge, but I probably wouldn't order it again. Not that I didn't like it, but it was just too large and messy and didn't wow me. Still, nothing wrong with it per se. Besides the sandwiches, they also sell other things they make such as bread pudding, mac and cheese, quiche, etc. which you can see in the glass case. They also have soups, too. Besides the food they make, this is also a market, so they sell beer/wine, chips, hot sauce, and some other items. There is also a small seating area so it is possible to eat-in. I look forward to trying other sandwiches next time - hopefully the breakfast sandwich or the meatloaf one!
