Combo share platter with lamb tips, fish tips, and chicken. Also comes with lentil, greens and salad.

First time here with coworker to tryout this new #plateofnations community program to bring awareness to ethnic cuisines in the south Seattle neighbor. Food was amazing, but be ready to share and eat with your fingers. It's a small dive but full of flavors, service and smiles.

Cute small cafe that serves fantastic Vietnamese food and specializes in matcha drinks…read more The banh mi chao aka beef skillet was delicious. They don't serve that dish at a lot of places in Seattle so I was glad they had it at Soufend Cafe & Eatery. It came with diced beef, two eggs, Chinese sausages, cha lua, pate, laughing cow cheese, some veggies, and a toasted French baguette. Overall I liked the sauce but I do think it was slightly salty. My friend got the vegetarian bánh xèo and it was HUGE! Each one was almost long as her forearm lol. It also came with plenty of vegetables. They put a lot of coconut creme and tofu inside the bánh xèo. Matcha with banana cookie foam was ok. The matcha flavor is there but it's not as strong as other matchas I've tried. Overall, we had a good experience and will be back! Hopefully get to try their popular bánh uot tower. Customer service was friendly; interior was clean and modern. They have self-serve water in the corner for you. They have their own private lot so plenty of parking. They're located on MLK st across the OG Joy Palace plaza.

Food is AMAZING! The food is made to order and tastes so good. The service is pretty quick and they…read moreget a bit busy at times. For the amount of people here, it's not too loud. Limited parking availability outside so that may be an issue if there's a lot of people around that strip.

Little shop with some interesting ice cream flavors. Reminds me of the mom and pop shops i used to…read morevisit growing up. I tried several different options and my server was very helpful and polite the entire time. Each flavor was suprosingly tasty. I went with 2 different flavors with sour candy toppings. So good. I dig the setup but it did feel a bit small. There was only one other couple that showed when I was there. It did feel odd being inside with them at the same time so i decided to move to their outdoor seating. I wish i came with a date. I would recommend this place, but large parties need to be aware of the small interor before coming. Maybe plan ahead. Also parking is ok, so be ready for that also

This place is such a hidden gem! They don't have as many flavors as other ice cream shops, but the…read moreflavors that they do have is very good! I chose their cookies and cream ice cream with Oreo topping and I loved it. The ice cream felt fresh and I liked the amount of sweetness it had. The oreo topping tasted fresh as well. I did their mini scoop and which is around $5, which I say is fair. The service was good! The server was friendly and allowed us to try any flavors we were curious about. The ambiance is nice! There's this small area with small furniture to sit at by the front. It's cute haha. There's regular seating at the front though

Have since been back to Huong Que multiple times and it's really one of my absolute favorite…read morerestaurants in the city. I've brought friends and family here and everyone leaves raving about the food. I typically go for a late lunch on the weekend around 1PM and haven't had to wait to be seated. Tea comes complimentary and service is speedy. Bo Kho (4.5/5): Insanely tender braised beef rib served in an uber savory broth and thinly sliced onions to break through the richness. Bread is fresh with the lightest crunchy crust on the outside, but fluffier than a typical French baguette. A must get for sure. Hu Tieu (4.5/5): See my last review, but will be one of the best bowls of soup noodles in your life. Super chewy noodles, savory but light broth, and an assortment of pork cuts and shrimp.

This hole in the wall deserves a high rating because the dishes they specialize in are hearty and…read moremade with a lot of flavor. The most popular is the bo kho - the broth is mouthwatering good! I'm taking off one star because the way they operate is outdated and they still only accept cash to this day. They have also raised the prices significantly to the point it's like ~$20 for a bowl. The serving size isn't spectacular but my stomach feels content. Service is just okay. The restaurant exterior looks pretty run down and they don't prioritize cleanliness. However, the space accommodates a decent amount of customers.
