We just discovered this gem a few weeks ago, and I'm so upset we didn't find it sooner because it is now my favorite takeout. They are so nice and the food is delicious. I am gluten free and the first time I called, I was patiently walked through which menu items can be made gluten-free. I have now ordered the firecracker chicken twice and it's delicious. They use a ton of vegetables and the food is so fresh. I look forward to expanding my menu choices. read more

I love New Leaf Bistro. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is calm. Their beef pho is THE perfect comfort food and I have yet to find another pho that hits the spot quite as well. read more

We've gotten take out from here several times, the pho is ok, better than Thanh Brothers on California Ave (which is horrible) but not as good as Pho Aroma on Delridge . The broth is somewhat bland if you are someone that knows their pho broth. We get pho here only on Sundays when pho Aroma is closed. One time I decided to go nuts and order the chow mein. Worst idea ever, not only was it not good, instead of using the classic egg noodles that chow mein is supposed to be made with, they used fettuccine pasta noodles! I was so confused. Lesson learned. read more

one of the best Pho in Seattle, that's for sure, there were about 10 Vietnamese restaurants, here it is the best! The atmosphere of the institution is very beautiful, clean is good! read more

New Leaf Bistro - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Tried the "new" Pho place. After reading some negative reviews was armed in case of disappointment.. Not the case. Is it exceptional- no. Is it better than good - yes. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. No lost marks. Menu is limited but varied enough. Pho choices are the usual. Broth is nicely seasoned, meat is not rubbery. Wife had a non Vietnamese dish- sweet n sour chicken, and it was not over breaded, and the sauce was not the usual overly sweet type. We also tried the calamari appetizer and it was very good. Overall, we are happy and will return. InAlki you have either Saigon Boat on the beach, which is cheaper but has little if any ambiance, or pay up a few extra dollars and go here. Both are good, but New Leaf raises the bar a bit. read more

My new favorite vegan pho in Seattle! So many fresh vegetables, including green beans and delicious delicate white mushrooms that I do not know the name of. The broth was savory with a hint of sweet, and everything was very filling. read more

Best pho in the area. Compared to the popular Pho chain restaurant down the street, the broth is 10x better and the bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeños, and limes they give you on the side are way more fresh. The restaurant is clean and the gal that works there, and seems to the only person front of the house, is very nice and attentive. read more

Always good Vietnamese food and pretty fast depending on how busy they are. I'm very particular about what chicken is prepared in Asian dishes, sometimes it's dry and overcooked or very grisly, but they're grilled chicken is always well done and not dry. I really like the grilled chicken vermicelli Bowl and the tofu salad rolls that are bursting with fresh greens and come with delicious peanut sauce. My boyfriend enjoys the beef pho though I found the chicken option rather blend but there's plenty of other good things on the menu at a reasonable price. read more

My review is based on take out only. Great food, generous portions, and great prices. My favorite is the cold vermicelli noodle bowls with pork and egg rolls. I could eat this everyday. Their pho is great, too, just the way I like it-deep colored bone broth and lots of fixings. I live nearby so I have only had take out which I highly recommend! read more

The coffee is excellent. They just started serving Banh Mi. So yummy. The beef broth is so good that I can't find any other vietnamese restaurant to compare. Can't wait to try other dishes. read more

See all

We saw this restaurant had 4 stars and decided to try it. We ordered several items including chicken pho, steak pho, pad thai. Soup broth was weak. Chicken pieces were very large and needed to be cut, but we did not get knives. Wait a minute, why was pad thai even on the menu in a Vietnamese restaurant? read more

We come here for Pho. Very flavorful clean broth. I like the rare beef and brisket option with the chili oil. For some reason I always get the large, which is tough to finish. I also like to add veggies, I could say it makes it healthier, but I just like the extra veggies. In a town with a lot of great pho spots, this is up there. I am glad it's in my neighborhood. read more

This place is one of my go to places to satisfy my craving for Vietnamese cuisine or just a quick bite to eat in West Seattle. My go to favorites are the fresh rolls, grilled pork banh mi combo (comes with sweet potato fries and choice of drink), banh hoi and Thai iced tea. Did I mention the Banh Hoi? If you haven't had this dish, I highly recommend it. It's very fresh/flavorful tasting and can be easily spilt between 2 people (or save the left overs to eat as another meal). read more

Best pho I've ever had! I've always "liked" pho, but ever since I've had New Leaf Bistro I crave it everyday! Unfortunately I don't live in Seattle so New Leaf Bistro will have to be a stop on my list next time I'm in town! read more

I got the vegan pho and it was delicious. The portions are generous and the pricing is competitive. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive. Restaurant was clean. Overall 10/10! read more

My friend and I shared the fresh spring rolls, which were tasty. I had the combo rice plate and happily finished all of it with some rice leftover. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and looking forward to trying more items (like pho and bun) in my next go rounds. My friend had the firecracker chicken, which I thought was ok. My advice would be to stick to the traditional Vietnamese dishes here. read more

When new leaf opened, I was excited to have vietnamese place close by. I went there multiple times and was always happy with my vegetarian pho, fresh rolls, or vermicelli bowl. Their versions of these dishes were superior to ones that I got other places. That has changed though. Last time I got veggie pho with tofu, there was no tofu in it and I had to go back (also none of the other usual extra touches like enoki mushrooms), and the fresh rolls were tough in places. I recognize that there are supply and staffing issues everywhere lately, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. But this week on a very hot day, I ordered vermicelli bowl. I checked the ticket on the bag before I left to be sure they handed me the right bag, and the tag was correct. When I got to the park to eat it though, it was as if the first cook put the start of a vermicelli bowl- vermicelli, one lettuce leaf, ground peanuts- the the next cook scooped tofu and veggies out of a bowl of pho and poured it over. Since there was no flavor (no condiments like with pho, fish sauce instead of the soy-based sauce that usually comes veggie bunh), I had to take it home and cook it with some sauce. I don't eat out often and I look forward to it, But I don't think I'll be back. read more

This is our neighborhood pho spot and it always does the trick. The steak pho is great, as is the pork vermicelli bowl. Very nice ambience for a Vietnamese restaurant too! Great place to grab a bite before catching a flick at the Admiral theater across the street. read more

Took a chance and tried this place out; I'm real picky about my pho. It was a pleasant surprise! Delicious broth, quick service, no complaints. read more

This place is one of my favorite restaurants in West Seattle! I'm Vietnamese and it gives me a taste of home with it's authentic tasting food, atmosphere, vibe, and friendly service. I usually order the rice platters or pho, and they are each rich in flavor, made with quality ingredients, and reasonably priced. read more

Absolutely no flavor. Ordered the veggie vermicelli bowl 4 stars and there was no seasoning. The veggies and tofu had no flavor. Ended up throwing the whole thing away read more

This place Rules, love the food, people, service and price and serving size!! Wish. Had known about it sooner,

Ayşenur in this Restaurant was Night very good iPhone recommend this Play Store my friends It's not very expensive a reasonable Price Burger olsun read more

Place has great food. And a owner and chef that pretty much attempts to read your order and then makes and sends whatever they darn well please. And all with no recourse. If you call they simply say "so sorry". But no offer to help. Order at your own risk. As I have said I have enjoyed the food but almost always never get what I actually ordered. Why they can't check the deliveries and make sure I will never know BUT they don't and they don't care either read more

We had the tofu and grilled pork bahn mi sandwiches with sweet potato fries. So tasty! We were really happy with the quality, price, and great customer service. Definitely recommend and love having them in the neighborhood! read more

I've been here several times and every time the staff is extremely friendly and pleasant. Food is good, above average for a little Vietnamese joint. It's not extremely fancy but it's very tasty. It's so great to have a good Vietnamese place in West Seattle. read more

We chose this restaurant as it is directly across the street from the movie theater. The staff was friendly and they promptly took our order. My wife received her pho and the waitress said she would be right back with my meal. After 5 minutes she returned and told me she just placed my order. I knew she lied to me because I observed a different waitress deliver my meal to someone who had barely sat down and he immediately began eating, so I had no time to object. Mistakes happen, but don't try to cover it by lying to your customers. I will never return to this establishment. read more

Great pho, always fresh ingredients- a sweet family run business, love having them in the neighborhood! They are also easy about accommodating dietary special requests for people I've brought (GF, etc.) read more

We discovered this place via Uber Eats during COVID quarantine. Their pork vermicelli bowl has become our go-to meal on a hot day when we don't want to cook. We are excited to try the pho when the weather gets cooler. read more

It maybe the best Vietnamese place I dined since I moved to Seattle 2 yrs ago. I have also visited Vietnam and leaning towards this place to dine. Staff were attentive and nice. read more

New Leaf Bistro - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

New leaf is pho king delicious Everything is fresh, clean, great service and tons of options not just pho. I recommend it to everyone that likes Asian food read more

I've tried this place a few times now and there isn't a single item I want to re order. It's all underwhelming. In addition I order here, and kept returning for the vegan options but have found that they are not consistent. We ordered fried rice for example, vegan, and it had egg in it. We have sever egg and dairy food allergies. Disappointing. read more

My husband and I just came from New Leaf Bistro and we are so happy we found this place. Everything we tasted was delicious, the taste and the presentation truly impeccable. The service was also excellent. We ordered the deep fried egg rolls, Shrimp Pho and Beef Pho. We will definitely be back!!!! Best Pho we have ever had!! read more

Decided to try this last night for dinner with a friend. I started with the shrimp fresh rolls which mentioned having shrimp, green leaf lettuce, basil, vermicelli rice noodles, & house pickled daikon and carrots. Mine only came with the shrimp, lettuce, vermicelli rice noodles, and bean sprouts so definitely not what I was expecting. They did come out pretty quickly after ordering them which made me wonder how fresh they were especially after tasting the shrimp which seemed slightly passed its prime. The peanut sauce that accompanied them had a good texture, consistency, and flavor. If you want really good shrimp fresh rolls, I suggest Bang Bar a bit down California Ave. Granted they are more expensive than these but definitely worth it imo. My main dish came out less than a minute after my starter. I think the timing could be better for bringing dishes out as I don't typically like to eat a cold starter at the same time I'm trying to eat a hot dish. Just seemed a bit rushed. For my entree I ordered the beef pho with steak and well done brisket. The steak was well done by the time it got to me which isn't my preference so I ended up removing it from the bowl so it didn't overcook any more. The broth was mildly flavored at best and didn't really stand out to me but it was hot and the sriracha and hoisin sauce helped in making it palatable. Pho Than will continue to be my goto place while in West Seattle. My friend ordered the beef brisket baguette which came with sweet potato fries. It was pretty unremarkable as it was lacking flavor, sauce, and was just bland overall. Some of the fries seemed a bit undercooked but that could be due to size differences. Staff was nice enough, a bit loud when taking togo orders, forgot the drink we ordered with the Bahn mi and tossed our check at us when it was time to pay so it just added to our less than stellar experience. Overall I wouldn't recommend this place for these dishes since there are better options available nearby. Could have been an off night and maybe other dishes would be the way to go if visiting this restaurant but I doubt I'll find out as I likely won't be back. read more

If you are looking for really good pho this the place in West Seattle to go. I've been there at least 20 times in the past couple years and I've never ordered anything other than the beef pho. Service is decent but the main draw the pho. read more

came here with my newborn and toddler on a wednesday during lunchtime... was sat immediately as it wasnt full. server took my order pretty fast. BUT after i ordered i noticed a family (mom 2 or 3 small kids and grandma) packing up to leave and complaining that they were ignored and never got their order taken. so they were pretty upset and were making passive aggressive comments on their way out. the 2 servers saw them leaving (idk if they heard then complaining) but they did not apologize or say anything to the customers leaving! thats not good business to me. im not sure what happened, we all make mistakes but i would think the business should apologize and try and make things right before that family left. clearly i just came in and ordered and they were there before me and didnt seem to even get a chance to order so rightfully upset. well i got the salt and pepper calamari which was nicely breaded not too heavy, but it was too salty for me. the dipping sauce was ok but had some horseradish that i wasnt crazy about, just didnt seem to go wih the calamari. the menu said item was spicy but i didn't taste anything spicy and i even ate the decorations/peppers under the calamari... so dish was ok but i prefer less salty. if it was less salty id definitely go back and eat again and ask for no horseradish in the dipping sauce. i also had a large beef pho i shared with my toddler. it was okay. i am not one of the ppl who add lots if sauces to my pho so im very picky about the broth cuz thats what im there for. this broth was very light and did not have a lot of flavor depth. the sprouts basil lime and jalapeños were fresh. i just wasn't crazy about the broth so i wont be back for the pho in west seattle my goto pho is #1 pho aroma #2 pho 99 but my favorite pho for the flavorful broth is in lakewood called "I pho" just in case you want to see what flavors i like since everyone has a diff palate read more

I don't order anything besides the short ribs from this place. The first time I tried it I was addicted. They are the best short ribs I have had. Lots of meat with very little fat. Sweet. Crispy on the edges. YUM! I always order double the meat they are so good. I have not tried anything else on the menu. This is all I need. The restaurant is nice and open. The service is very friendly and fast. Did I mention how good the short ribs were? Man they are good. I have heard they have good pho as well from my dining companions but seriously I can't get over these short ribs. read more

I came in almost immediately after the opened. Vietnamese food has become a staple in my life. I have even learned to make pho...but who has that kind of time?! Anyway - The people here have treated me like family from the first day and I now consider them friends. I love that we have Pho house in the Admiral. The Food: The broth is flavorful and tastes great. I also love the Stew...which I newly discovered. The servings of pho are offered in regular and large...I rarely finish a regular bowl. My favorite is the vermicelli noodles (Bun) with grilled meat and eggroll. This menu is not limited to Vietnamese food. They also serve some Chinese and American-Chinese favorites. The calamari is amazing and a personal favorite. I know that it is hard to cook the Calamari tender and not chewy. I have had it perfect everytime. It comes in strips with a Chinese mustard Soy dipping sauce and a pepper confetti salad that I LOVE!.I have not tried the Ban Mi only because I have my favorites and I can't bring myself to order new things when I know how much I love the standards. I will get there. read more

We had the vermicelli noodles chicken & egg roll. The noodles themselves were so delicious. A fun dish to share with my daughter who is 2.5yrs. This was her first experience with chop sticks, they were quite thoughtful to have some for her to try. I've been meaning to come here for a long time, so glad I did. This is a very family friendly place. Had a chance to visit with the owner, a very nice woman. I will definitely go back. And I'm so looking forward to trying the other dishes on the menu! read more

I was looking forward to trying out this new place. Across the street from the Admiral Theater = circling the block a couple times and then grabbing a spot on Admiral by the B of A. There were about 4 tables occupied on a recent evening and we were seated in a booth, which, both seats were oddly far away from the table. The waitress took our orders, couldn't really describe what was in the chicken salad, so I settled on the standby bun with grilled pork and egg roll. We also ordered the spring rolls (a/k/a fresh rolls) and chicken wings, along with a bowl of pho with brisket, vegetables and tofu. The spring rolls were nicely wrapped, but had a huge leaf of green leaf lettuce hanging out the end that was pretty, but unnecessary. The chicken wings came fresh out of the fryer and were tasty and hot. My bun was good and had a generous amount of grilled pork. The pho did not come with the standard plate of bean sprouts and herbs - was it because there were vegetables in the soup? The food was good, not great, but the service was just plain awkward. The server didn't ask if we wanted anything to drink and we had to ask about the beer selection. She never came back to see how our meals were, and when she boxed our leftovers, she only took the spring rolls, not the several chicken wings. Seemed like she was more comfortable clearing tables, and working in the back. It's a pretty space and the food was okay - just wish the service was a little better. read more
