Saigon Drip has been on my list of places to go for a very long time! However, the fact that they close at 5:00 p.m. on weekdays makes it challenging unless you live/work near Pioneer Square! It must be that there aren't that many folks around here for dinner time, but I'd love it if they were open until even 6:00 p.m. on week days or just one day a week at a later time. I came down for some World cup festivities on a week day around 4:00 p.m. and utilized the opportunity to check them out! We shared the Banh Mi Drip, which is their most popular item, and for good reason! So much juicy tender meat and the caramelized onions just added depth and flavor. The bone marrow dipping broth makes this next level (and akin to a French dip, although WAY better in my opinion). I'd recommend eating this in store vs. getting to go as it can get soggy pretty quickly. Still tasty, but will be better in person, fresh. I didn't eve realize that it had pate on it (but after reading the description, that now makes sense why it was so flavorful). It was huge and enough for me to share (or for one person if you are very hungry). You order at the counter via a screen/app but there is staff around if you have a question. It's a casual spot but sufficient seating. They also have some Vietnamese coffee drinks which I would have gotten had it been morning and not afternoon. I want to come back for the weekend as I understand there are some different menu items!

Nut allergy friendly: I didn't even ask, just assumed a banh mi wouldn't have any problems, and I didn't have any problems. Time to Order: 7 Minutes for a to-go order placed at the counter. They're pretty quick! Parking; Difficult, we parked a few streets away and walked. It's a small shop, but don't let looks fool you. You enter a very modern interior with small fun decorations like a Taylor Swift cutout and a selfie booth. Orders are self-service at two kiosks, and a team works to make orders very quickly. It was packed when we went, already a good sign. We got our banh mi to go and got them pretty quickly. I initially balked at a $17 banh mi, but the concept seemed interesting enough and it was very hyped up by a good friend of mine. The banh mi drip opens up to a baguette packed with onion, beef brisket, and some cilantro. They give a container of pho broth wide enough to actually dip the banh mi, which I appreciated. It stayed decently crispy with a 15 minute commute, but I'd definitely recommend it fresh. Really, it looked more like a French dip than a banh mi. Anyway. It's a genius concept. It's delicious. Probably in my top five meals I've had in all of my Seattle trips. It really begs the question - what else works as a dip? Can we do baos dipped in tonkatsu Ramen? It's like they took a birria taco with consumme and made it even better. It was really, really good. Unfortunately, we also tried their regular pork banh mi and I found it great with the veggies, but very short on the meat. (2.5/5). Skip it. Just get the dipping banh mi. That's carrying their entire score. Would love to try their bun bo hue hot pot. I'd let these guys cook.

Saigon Drip Cafe is one of my favorite spots in the Pioneer Square neighborhood of Seattle. Not only is their logo cool, but I'm a fan of their free stickers and tote bag they give away with to go orders. They make delicious Banh Mi's. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their fillings, but I usually get the "Piggylicious". They also make mean Fresh Rolls. Shrimp is what I typically gravitate towards. They make tasty drinks, too. Yep, they drip in both style and the food they serve ;-)

The first time I had the Spam Slammin Egg was at a catered work event & I knew I had to have it again at Saigon Drip. It's truly so delicious and I've told multiple people about it. One of the best Bánh Mì's I've ever had... it may be my favorite ever. I appreciate the efficient, counter service vibe and tables inside. I'm truly a fan of Saigon Drip and will continue to revisit!

I absolutely love Saigon Drip!! The customer service here is truly top-tier. From the moment you walk in, they treat you like family and make you feel genuinely welcome every single time. The environment is always incredibly clean (even their kitchen) and comfortable, which I really appreciate. You can tell they take a lot of pride in their restaurant. The food is also consistently great. That's one of the things that keeps my staff, family and friends coming back. Everything is fresh, flavorful and always prepared the same way every time I visit, which, to me, says a lot about their ownership and staff. Honestly, this isn't just one of my favorite Vietnamese and pho spots in Seattle, it's one of my favorite restaurants overall. If you're looking for great food, great service, and a place that makes you feel appreciated as a customer, this is definitely the spot. Highly recommend! Easy 5 Stars

Parking: paid street parking only unless Sunday. Honestly it's overpriced. We served ourselves - cleaned up a dirty table when we arrived and bussed our own dirty plates after. Ordered via a tablet and there's no service or free water. It's limited tables/seating inside. We both ordered the beef brisket Bahn mi. The broth was luke warm, not hot, and too salty. The brisket would have tasted better if it came with pickled veggies. And it's a little sweet. We wouldn't come again.

It's packed and I'm PUMPED to have this again!!!

WHOO this place was CROWDED and rightfully so! This was my second time coming here, the first was for a yelp event, and I was soooo glad I came back. We came around lunchtime so the place was packed but people rotate in and out pretty quickly so I was able to find a seat just as my food was ready. They are great with making sure their staff is nice and full so the service was quick despite the crowd and they were all so friendly and helpful. I love the vibe of this place and seeing it during Christmas time was cool. The food was SPECTACULAR as always. I was trying to suppress the delightful sighs that wanted to escape after each bite of sandwich, melting in my mouth, and each sip of bone broth. 11/10

Steak didn't cook because broth was not hot.

Benny S.

Came here for some comfort pho based on great reviews. Ordered pickup and I was there before it was ready, hotel was 5 min drive and the pho was cold. I paid extra for rare steak and it wouldn't even cook!!!. I valet my car so it was literally 8 mins to eat. Horrible experience and overall the food wasn't good or authentic. Family is Viet and the pho went to waste.

Peka G.

Such a cute, swanky, place with an ode to Vietnam. I love the art, plants and recycled code container canisters! I ordered from their computer screens but there were people there to help if needed. Delicious Tofu Bahn Mi!! Well balanced flavors and textures. Strong Vietnamese coffee, mine could've used a little more sweetened condensed milk but that could be just my taste buds. I've only gone once but definitely want to try their pho or pho dip with my sandwich!

Matthew Y.

Came in for the ribeye pho hotpot and a grilled chicken bánh mì. The hotpot was a showstopper.... generous portions of ribeye in a rich, flavorful broth with a huge basket of fresh accompaniments (noodles, bean sprouts, herbs, cabbage, lime, chili). Great for sharing.

Kristen W.

I had a 24 hour layover in Seattle and decided to yelp the area for pho. After reading the reviews, I had to check this place out. It did not disappoint! The restaurant itself is not big but I love the energy and the set up. There's enough space if you came with a group but you don't feel awkward if you do decide to come alone. There's smaller tables that make it easy to dine by yourself. I came for the pho but the reviews made me order the bahn mi drip as well. It was delicious! Very meat heavy so if that's what you enjoy, you will love this! I wish I ordered pickled vegetables to balance the sandwich more but you definitely get your moneys worth with the amount of meat in the sandwich. The pho was SO delicious that I swear I didn't use any sauce condiments. I truly didn't need any of it!! I was tempted to ask to take out just the broth so I could have it later. Ordered a bunch of the teas/coffees to go and tried them at home. Most delicious milk tea and Vietnamese coffees I've had in the states. The Thai tea was a little too much for my personal taste but the rest of it was amazing. I will be back the next time I'm in Seattle!

Tori Z.

Saigon drip was not worth the hype. I got the bahn mi drip, and there was too many onions for how much meat there was, the sandwich does not hold its shape because the bread disintegrates, and it was too single dimensional in flavor. There are much better places for a sandwich in Seattle, this just doesn't make the cut for me.

Stephen P.

Got the grilled pork banh mi, it's good, but I don't know if it's $15 good, when there are better and cheaper options elsewhere. Size was pretty small also for the price.

Finally got the chance to try out this new place in Seattle. We ordered the Banh Mi Dip, Meatball Pho, Ribeye Hot Pot Pho and Vietnamese coffee. The pho was definitely my favorite, the broth was on point with good portions of noodles and meat. My only regret was not asking for a side of raw onions and fatty broth with the meal! The service was great too. We came in right after the lunch rush so was lucky to get a table. Definitely recommend this place and will probably order the banh mi dip again next time for takeout to the Sounders game. read more

I told him I didn't and he helped gave me some suggestions and helped me with the ordering process on the kiosk.

Meowtastic! I came here with my lover for a 10 AM brunch & loved every moment. It was perfectly easy to park outside then we were greeted with warm smiles and cozy smells. The beverage options seem endless with things like Mango Cart in their giant fridge selection along with boba, Vietnamese, and Thai tea to order. We used the large self serve ordering screen to opt for Matcha Tea & Milk Boba. We indulged in the Banh Mi Dip, a crusty soft freshly baked roll stuffed the juiciest shaved ribeye and caramelized onions, AND the rib eye hot pot pho, a giant portion of light broth, with a bit of sweetness, filled with fresh slightly wide noodles, and traditional pho things like onion and cilantro. Accoutrements included Thai basil, bean sprouts, lime, jalepeno, and a plethora of spicy and sweet sauces to mix in. A fun touch helping us pace ourselves by cooking the meat at the table in our personal sized hot pot! read more

I got the Fast Eddie with fries and it was alright. The meat was bit dry. Yes there was the au jus to dip in and it helped quite a bit, but all the flavors just didn't mesh. It was basically an ordinary french dip. The fries were okay, but the jalapeno aioli was great! That made everything better, but not enough to save the sandwich.

Located in the Seattle Center Armory, along with many other food vendors, Big Mike's Sandwich Company is serving up huge cheesesteaks, chopped cheese, and other East Coast-style subs. For $25, I picked up the cheesesteak and fries combo. Not a terrible price for the portion. Waited about 10-15 minutes for the sandwich to come out. You order on a tablet here, and then they call your name. It's a small storefront, so you really have to stay nearby to hear your name being called in the large space that is the Armory. Not much interaction with staff. Plenty of seating throughout the Armory, though shared with other restaurants. The food came out piping hot. Obviously, they cook everything fresh to order because the inside of the fries was like lava. The fries were thick-cut and seasoned to perfection. The sandwich was good. I thought some pieces of the steak were a bit tough, and the roll seemed a bit over-steamed or possibly stale. A good sandwich and decent portion, nonetheless. I'm still going 5 stars here. I think Big Mike's is a great choice if you want a hearty, meat-filled sandwich and you happen to be in the area. However, I think you could be happy with another dining option in the Armory, too. My kids loved the MOD Pizza nearby. While there isn't anything wildly unique going on at Big Mike's, they are still pushing out great sandwiches at reasonable prices with a no-frills ordering process.

The only drawback was the price--at around $20 per sandwich, it felt a bit expensive for what you get, especially considering it was just a 6-inch sub, even though the quality was good. We visited during a FIFA World Cup match, so the line was quite long, but it moved steadily and efficiently. No complaints there. The atmosphere is casual and straightforward, with indoor seating only. Its downtown location near the stadiums makes it a convenient spot for a quick meal before or after an event. Overall, a good sandwich shop with quality food, though the pricing keeps it from being a must-visit. I'd still come back to finally try that Cubano.

I recently had the pleasure of discovering Saigon Drip Cafe in Seattle's historic Pioneer Square, and my taste buds are still savoring the delightful experiences from my visits. This hidden gem has become my go-to spot for a delectable Vietnamese-inspired culinary journey. On my first visit, I couldn't resist trying the Cult Cut Classic, and it instantly became a flavor-packed memory that lingered in my mind. The Bánh Mì stole the show with its impeccable combination of crispy bread and an explosion of flavors. The attention to detail in crafting this sandwich was evident, and it left me dreaming of its taste long after I left. For my second visit, I opted for the Piggylicious - a perfect pork sandwich that lived up to its name. The succulent pork, paired with carefully selected ingredients, resulted in a sandwich that was nothing short of perfection. Saigon Drip Cafe's commitment to quality ingredients and expert preparation truly shines through in every bite. Now, my anticipation is building for my next visit, where I plan to indulge in the Bánh Mì Drip. This unique sandwich comes with a side of Pho broth for dipping, promising a culinary adventure like no other. I can hardly wait to experience the harmonious blend of flavors as the sandwich meets the rich broth, creating a symphony of taste that is sure to leave a lasting impression. Saigon Drip Cafe is not just a place for exceptional food; it's also a convenient stop for those on the go. Whether you're in the area for breakfast or lunch, or if you're headed to catch a Seahawks, Sounders, or Mariners game, this cafe is the perfect grab-and-go destination. The friendly staff and inviting atmosphere only add to the overall charm of this culinary haven in Pioneer Square. Saigon Drip Cafe has undoubtedly earned its spot as a must-visit establishment in Seattle. With a menu that boasts creativity, flavor, and authenticity, it's a place that caters to both casual diners and food enthusiasts alike. Don't miss the chance to treat your taste buds to the culinary wonders that Saigon Drip Cafe has to offer - it's an experience worth savoring. read more

A Banh Mi Adventure with a Twist in Seattle I recently had the chance to dine at Saigon Drip, this cool Vietnamese spot in Seattle. Let me tell you, it was quite the experience! Walking in, the place had this cozy yet modern vibe going on. It's like they mixed traditional Vietnamese charm with a touch of contemporary style. Right away, I knew I was in for something special. Now, let's talk about their Banh Mi. It's not your typical one, though. They've got this marinated steak brisket, and here's the kicker - a Pho broth dip! Yes, you read that right. The steak brisket was out of this world. Tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, it was like a party in my mouth. They load up the sandwich with it, so every bite is a meaty delight. And that Pho broth dip? Brilliant! It's like they took the essence of a steaming bowl of Pho and turned it into a dipping sauce. Dunking my Banh Mi into it took the whole experience to another level. The blend of flavors was something I'd never tasted before. The baguette was perfectly crusty on the outside and soft on the inside - just like it should be. With the steak, fresh caramelized onions, and that magical Pho dip, every bite was a harmonious mix of textures and flavors. You could tell Saigon Drip pays attention to the details. Quality ingredients, careful prep - it all showed in the final product. The balance of flavors was spot on, making every component shine. To round off my meal, I sipped on some Vietnamese iced coffee. It was the classic pairing, and it worked like a charm alongside the savory Banh Mi. The staff at Saigon Drip were friendly and helpful. They explained the menu, gave recommendations, and made sure I had a great time. In a nutshell, Saigon Drip in Seattle is the place to be if you're up for a unique Banh Mi experience. That marinated steak brisket and the Pho broth dip? They're game-changers. Saigon Drip knows how to take a classic and turn it into something unforgettable. So, if you're into Vietnamese flavors with a twist, this spot is a must-visit. Your taste buds will be in for a real treat! read more

After a Sounders game, we decided to try Saigon Drip Cafe, and it turned out to be a delightful choice. Our post-game hunger was sated with three different Banh Mi options: the tofu banh mi, the Banh Mi Drip, and the cold cut banh mi. Each one offered a unique and satisfying experience, but the tofu banh mi truly stood out. As lovers of tofu, we often find that many banh mi places skimp on their tofu option, but not Saigon Drip Cafe. Their tofu banh mi was exceptional, with perfectly marinated tofu that complemented the fresh veggies and crusty baguette. It was a refreshing surprise to see such attention to detail and quality in a tofu dish. The Banh Mi Drip was another highlight. It was nothing short of phenomenal--an explosion of flavors that had us savoring every bite. The combination of tender meat, vibrant herbs, and the right balance of spices made it an unforgettable sandwich. The cold cut banh mi was also solid, with a traditional mix of meats that hit all the right notes. It was a great option for those who enjoy a classic take on the Vietnamese staple. In addition to the fantastic food, the service at Saigon Drip Cafe was outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient, making our visit even more enjoyable. Overall, Saigon Drip Cafe impressed us with its delicious and thoughtfully prepared banh mi, coupled with excellent service. The standout tofu banh mi and the delightful Banh Mi Drip have definitely earned this spot a special place in our post-Sounders game tradition. If you're in the area, it's a must-visit for a banh mi that goes above and beyond. read more

I recently had the pleasure of indulging in the culinary masterpiece that is the World Famous Chicken Wings (caramelized fish sauce) at Saigon Drip Cafe, and I can confidently say that it was an experience beyond compare. From the first bite to the last lingering flavor, every moment with these wings was a journey of pure delight. I ordered to-go online, and from the first moment I walked into the restaurant to pick up my food, I was met with a sweet smokey aroma, very reminiscent of street food stalls back in motherland of Vietnam herself. It took me 10 minutes to drive home, so I wasn't expecting anything wonderful from the skin. Boy was I wrong. From the first bite to the last, it was nothing short of heavenly. The chicken wings were still crispy on the outside (despite the drive time home), giving way to succulent and tender meat on the inside. The caramelization was an art form, creating a delicate balance between sweet and savory that danced across my palate. The subtle hints of Vietnamese spices added a depth and complexity to the dish, and I made everyone in my house try it out. My only regret was not ordering more. We scarved it down so fast that we forgot to take a picture, but rest assured, it was beautiful. I can't wait to return here to try the other dishes that this place has to offer. Just from this one dish alone, I know I won't be disappointed. 5/5 stars. read more

I discovered this restaurant through social media. I opted for the Ribeye Steak Pho Hot Pot. Although I didn't check in until after placing my order, the staff were exceptionally accommodating and allowed me to utilize my check-in deal for a complimentary appetizer, enabling me to sample their wings. The hot pot dishes are priced at market value; my ribeye steak pho was $38 during my visit--admittedly on the higher side--but ample enough to serve two. The ribeye was fresh and tender, while the broth was pleasant, though it failed to make a strong impression, which was somewhat disappointing. On the other hand, the noodles were exceptional, cooked to a texture that I particularly enjoy. I also had the pleasure of trying my friend's bun bo hue; similarly, the noodles were outstanding, but the broth could have benefited from more depth of flavor. read more

I visited around 3 p.m. and found parking right outside the cafe with no hassle. There was no line, and I was greeted right away by friendly staff. The dining room had a cozy, festive vibe with plenty of seating. I opted for a Bánh Mì Drip to-go, and while it didn't look like a traditional bánh mì, the flavor was outstanding. It had a similar feel to a Philly cheesesteak, but it was less greasy and packed with more depth of flavor. The broth was unique and really elevated the sandwich, making each bite soft and savory. At $17, it's on the pricier side, but it's definitely worth the experience. I'd happily come back, though probably not too often due to the cost. Overall, it was a great experience with excellent food, friendly service, and convenient parking. read more

If you haven't tried the brisket pho at Saigon Drip, you are seriously missing out. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the brisket is melt in your mouth perfection. And don't even get me started on the Banh Mi Drip Sandwich, it's a flavor explosion with every bite! Their fish sauce wings are also to die for. Crispy, a little tangy, and super addictive! What really makes Saigon Drip stand out are the incredible owners and staff. They're the friendliest, most hospitable bunch you'll ever meet. They make you feel like a VIP every time you walk in the door. So if you're in the mood for some amazing Vietnamese food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, Saigon Drip is the place to be. Just writing this review is making me hungry. Your taste buds will thank you! read more

I'm so glad I stumbled upon Saigon Drip cafe! Their Vietnamese cuisine is authentic and mouth-watering. The Brisket Pho was a highlight - the beef was tender and flavorful, and the broth was rich and savory. I also loved the Vermicelli Noodle Bowl, with its fresh veggies and perfectly cooked noodles. However, the seating area was a bit cramped and noisy. It felt like they were trying to pack in as many tables as possible, which made for a less-than-relaxing dining experience. That being said, the excellent food and friendly service make up for the lackluster seating. I'd definitely recommend for takeout or delivery - or, if you don't mind a bustling atmosphere, dine-in is still a great option especially for this cold Seattle weather! read more

We just landed in Seattle from Phoenix--tired, hungry, and ready to snap at each other after a day of airports. We stumbled into Saigon Drip Café, and Allen instantly turned things around. He welcomed our travel-weary family, helped us get settled, and made sure we were taken care of. The pho was exactly what we needed--comforting broth, fresh herbs, and noodles that brought us back to life. And the bánh mì? Absolutely delicious, especially with the onions mixed in. Even the kids stopped complaining once the food hit the table (a true miracle). This place set the tone for our whole trip. If you're hungry in Seattle, Saigon Drip is a must. And if Allen's working, you're in good hand read more

A Delightful Return Visit - We returned to this fast casual spot, and perhaps I wasn't in the right frame of mind during my previous visit, but this time was truly exceptional! The Banh Mi Drip ($15) was a sumptuous treat--tender, juicy brisket complemented by a delectable sauce, all encased in a perfectly crispy yet soft baguette. My partner thoroughly enjoyed the chicken vermicelli bowl ($17), which offered generous portions. While the prices are on the higher end for Vietnamese cuisine, the quality and flair of the dishes justify the cost. The staff was attentive and courteous, and the vibrant interior added to the overall enjoyable experience. read more

Nostalgia Meets Modern! I came here with high expectations hearing from others talk about this must-try new Vietnamese cuisine and, honestly, it did not disappoint. The atmosphere reminds of me the street food in Vietnam with a modern twist. They have the Hanoi style noodles which are wider than standard pho noodles which is perfect with the amazing pho broth. Hands down, the best thing on the menu is the Banh Mi Dip. The brisket is tender, and dipping it into the bone marrow pho broth takes it to a whole new level. I'll come back just for this every time! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Saigon Drip Café, and a lot of that was thanks to Vivian's exceptional service. She was friendly, attentive, and ensured my order was taken with care. Vivian went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, checking in to see if I needed anything and delivering my food promptly. Her positive attitude made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend visiting this café, and if you're lucky enough to have Vivian serve you, you're in for a treat! Will definitely become a regular because of her!!! read more

The pho hotpot is a fun and unique idea, but personally, I wasn't a big fan. My broth cooled down as I waited for the meat to cook, which made the experience less enjoyable. The prices were on the higher side for pho, which also took away from the overall value. Parking can be tricky, either find street parking or pay to park in the nearby lot. When we arrived, there were no open seats, so we had to keep an eye out and grab one when a table became available. Cool concept, but I'm not sure I'd rush back. read more

Beautiful lil restaurant with delicious food and friendly staff! We had bahnmi drip, porklicious, and durian coffee. Durian may not be everyone's coffee, but it is good and worth the try! It was our first time trying this place and Jasmine was so kind enough to let us try their two chicken wings flavors: honey fish sauce and sriracha (definitely squirt those limes!). I'm so glad our friends recommended this place. Definitely will comeback next time!!!! read more

Saigon Drip Cafe is a Vietnamese food gem! The Bánh Mì Drip with brisket, creamy pate', grilled onions, and mayo was an explosion of flavors, especially with the added chili. The side of beef bone marrow soup was a bonus. The Straight Up Black Vietnamese Black Coffee was a strong and refreshing companion. This spot has nailed the art of Vietnamese cuisine - bold, unique, and absolutely delicious. Can't wait to return! read more

Saigon Drip has the best banh mi in town, worth the drive and the price. The sandwiches are packed with butter and meat, never stingy, and the bread is always fresh. The cold cut banh mi is a favorite, and the new banh mi drip with a side of soup is amazing, pairing so well with the flavors. The restaurant is clean, with nice decor and friendly staff. Parking is paid right across the street. Highly recommend. read more

If you're in Pioneer Square, Saigon Drip is NOT to be missed. Pho is a main food group for me, and here? They know what they're doing! I'm not much of a wing girl, but the wings here go hard. Absolutely love the sauce that they're coated in and they pack a punch! My fiancé got the famous Drip banh mi and he stated that while it's different than a classic/traditional one, it's one of the best that he had. read more

Stopped by on our road trip from California to Vancouver for a quick bite and this alone was worth the drive! Got to excited to eat so not many pictures but beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, and wonderful banh mi sandwiches. Whenever I'm back in the area I will definitely stop by again. Happy one year anniversary! read more
