Ordered take out from here and service was great since it was prepared in time for pick up. The restaurant was packed when we swung by. I ordered the banh mi drip and it was okay. I felt like the meat was super salty and sweet. The broth was also salty and sweet. The bread was crisped to perfect. It would be tastier to have a balance in flavor with pickles and less salt. It was a fun concept to try but maybe not the flavor I was hoping for. read more

Saigon Drip Cafe - Bánh Mì Drip - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Overhyped, trendy, but average Vietnamese food near Pioneer Square. This place has ridiculous reviews and so I thought it would be worth to try out. It's not much of a restaurant - more of a cafe with only a few tables so definitely not good for a group meal or family meal. Ordering is done at the counter. I would say the price is about right for downtown Seattle and they do give a lot of meat with their pho, BBH (a whole beef rib), as well as their brisket banh mi. However, I did not like the broths at all - I felt like there was no depth of flavor and relied too heavily on MSG. Another concern is that there were no dac biet / combo options. Vietnamese coffee also was on the more bitter side. Would not recommend this place honestly and would recommend trying other Vietnamese places further out from city center. read more

Everything about the food was delicious! Below is a more detailed review of each item, but overall all food was solid. We went during 1-2pm on a Saturday and it was PACKED. Theres not much space to sit but there was also a pop up happening that day so perhaps it is more open without the pop up. They bring the food to you despite you self ordering at the Kiosk in front. Jasmin took great care of us and helped us answer any questions we had about our dishes! Overall the vibe of this place is cozy, great for a yap and eat session but can get overcrowded. Banh Mi Drip - Super tender meat with a soft pillowy bun. The condiment used in the banh mi gives it a nice creaminess and the meat juiciness gets all soaked up in the bread, when dipped with the soup it basically melts in your mouth. They also give a generous amount of meat inside which is awesome! Bun Bo Hue - Comes with these soft round noodles, 2 pig(?) blood cubes, fish cake, and of course a giant rib. Has a nice tang, keeping it refreshing ,to the soup and it's not overly salty which is nice because it makes it more of a light noodle soup. The meat was relatively tender, we were able to peel off the meat from the bone because of that in addition to the giant rib it also comes with a few thing slices of other meat as well. I thought the noodles were a tad soft, but it was such a big portion that eating everything else will definitely fill you up. Mango Salad - Mango with daikon and carrots. Basically like a papaya salad but make it mango instead. Quick warning that it is quite fish sauce dominant, so if you don't like fish sauce I'd advise against this. Nonetheless it was still tangy which kept it refreshing, but fish sauce was very heavy on this. Dumplings - Soft meat inside and had a tang as well which might be from the sauce. Nothing too note worthy about this. Overall solid dumplings. Ribeye Hotpot - Such a fun experience! The meat was soft and comes with a giant bowl of pho and pile of bean sprouts. The noodles were flat noodles which were well cooked, slight bounce and not mushy. Passion Fruit Mango - So refreshing! Do mix it well as it was a little syrupy at the bottom. Definitely on the sweet side. Salted Foam Coffee - Super strong like SUPER strong. Coffee was flavorful while not being too bitter, but definitely a punch in the face of coffee flavor. read more

Wow! One of the best bahn mi I ever had! The fur broth definitely adds flavor and elevates it. It is pricey, but I think it is worth it. The vermicelli bowl was okay, but definitely has large portions. The Vietnamese coffee was very strong and I liked it. Service is pretty good - about a 10-15 minute wait time. There are few tables inside with good ambiance. Street parking nearby, located in Pioneer square. read more

10/10! This place is the spot. The delicious aroma hits you immediately at the door. Bàhn mi drip was so savory and delicious!!! The beef brisket was so tender& juicy and the broth to dip in was amazing. We also got the brisket pho and we were so glad we did because it was too good- especially on a cold day. The mural art is beautiful and the ambiance is warm and fresh. Quinn was a pleasure to meet and she gave us some great suggestions!! We can't wait to come back to this place again! Definitely a must when visiting Seattle! read more

Saigon Drip Cafe - Bàhn Bánh Mì Drip & brisket pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Saigon Drip has been on my to-try list for some time, with interesting looking Vietnamese inspired entrees. I have been to Saigon Drip a couple of times, since then - mostly during the week and once during the weekend, and at both lunch and dinner time. Like most places in this part of Seattle, finding parking nearby is very difficult if you are looking for free streetside parking during peak hours. I would recommend going during off hours to ease the pain of finding a parking spot, unless you are OK with parking in a paid garage. Service is decent at the restaurant, you place your order at the cashier either through a server or through the ordering tablet, and take a number. The server will then bring out your food to your table. The ambiance is definitely casual dine-in with cozy Vietnamese/general Asian decorations throughout the restaurant. Size-wise I would say the restaurant leans on the smaller side, only being able to seat about 30-40 people at max. I'll review the two items that I think most people would come to Saigon Drip for down below: Banh Mi Drip ($17): A great idea for an entree as it takes the au jus sandwich and elevates it to using the flavorful bone broth with asian spices as a dipping alternative! A tasty sandwich, where the meat is extremely tender, hearty, and flavored well - sort of imagine a philly cheesesteak in texture paired with a delicious and slightly more concentrated pho broth. I think as delicious as this sandwich was, I don't think it should be $17, as this price only includes the sandwich. I think for most people, this will not be enough food and definitely needs to be supplemented with some other side. Brisket Pho ($19): Solid pho with nice cuts of brisket and a fragrant and delicious broth. I think in terms of Pho, if you are in the Seattle city area, is good in comparison to the other Vietnamese restaurants. There are some downsides though: there is only 1 size, whereas other Vietnamese restaurants offer small, medium, and large for sizes. This bowl of pho is $19! Size comparison is equal to a small or medium at other pho restaurants. To be honest, I think pho should be one of those affordable food options that is not meant to be expensive. In my opinion, in terms of Vietnamese food in the Seattle region, Saigon Drip is pretty solid. Definitely tasty and absolutely delicious food for sure, but I think price-wise it's steep for the quantity of food received. I have been to Pho restaurants where you can specify a larger pho for $14-$15, unlike Saigon Drip's preset price of $19 for a smallish to medium bowl, which is unfortunate. Same feelings for the other items on the menu, like the Banh Mi Drip, which is absolutely delicious and has a great indulging flavor and texture profile, but in the end, it is $17 for a small sandwich. I also did go once during their anniversary/birthday celebration where menu items were a bit cheaper than they are now, during which I thought the prices was actually decent. I would say, if you in or near Chinatown and really craving Vietnamese food, Saigon Drip has got you covered if you don't mind the pricing. read more

Really good banh mi options here! We got two to try from and they were very tasty. Only downside is that they are a little expensive. read more

OMG! The best Bahn mi's I've had outside of Vietnam. The Bahn Mi drip was the best thing I had on my Seattle food tour (I was actually only there for 1 full day). As a Texan, I was quite moved by the tenderness of the brisket.... Like who taught this chef how to throw down on the brisket?!?! The Au Jus was icing on the cake, so if you haven't you should! If you like meat this is a must try before you leave this earth. Now... I was a bit or more than a bit disappointed that the Bun Bo Hue is only served on the weekend. I specifically came to Seattle to eat this bowl of soup then leave. I almost changed my flight to NY for the next day just so I can try this dish. My heart was broken but half repaired with the bahn mi. That just means I'll have to make my way back up to Seattle. The pho, pork bahn mi and mango salad was good as well. We ordered 2 drinks to go which were equally delicious. I'll be back to see what's popping up on their menu next! read more

Came here on a week day for lunch to try out their Banh Mi. I ordered their most popular item which was the Banh Mi Drip and it was amazing!! One of the most flavorful bahn mi's I've had in a while! The meat inside is tender and moist and it pairs well with the mayo and grilled onions. The dip is a sweet pho broth that paired surprisingly well with the Banh Mi. However, I do think that $17 is a bit pricy for a banh mi hence the 4 star rating. The service was very quick! I placed my order and received it within 5 minutes. The ambience is nice and fun and they have an open seating area inside. Parking: Paid Street parking out front read more

Such a great place. Location is sketchy but it's pioneer square so... it's small inside. During the week it's not bad but the weekends it gets packed. Had the bhan mi drip, the spam and egg and two limeades. Ordering was easy and food came out fast. So it's not your traditional bhan mi but they are both delicious. The bread is soft and fresh and the broth they use is so flavorful. The spam and egg has a mayo on it and it's good. The drip is more chopped meat. Which reminds me kind of a chopped dip with Asian flavors. But worth it! Definitely a must try. read more

Every visit I've been here has been great, and a friend of mine has even called here just to tell them that their food is fantastic! If that doesn't get you to come here then I'm not sure what will. Perhaps maybe the parking situation, which is rough and a little sketchy. I used street parking just four or so blocks away from here. Looking past that, the inside doesn't have much seating: just two big tables, a large bar with many chairs and another table near the entrance. I'd come early just to snag a spot to sit at. There's also a life-size figure of Taylor Swift wearing an ao dai inside as well. You put your order on one of two kiosks near the kitchen where everything is prepared, and then you sit yourself down wherever you want after that. Servers will call out the name you entered at the time of purchase and bring your food and drinks to you; you can even ask them to get you a cup of water too. Otherwise, everything else is hands off from the napkins to straws and even some utensils. Servers had no trouble getting food to me and my friend and were also very friendly too. I got their banh mi drip, which is what they're most known for. I got this for dine-in but I like how they provide my food in a box in case I change my mind and want to take out instead. I also got a regular Thai tea as my drink. Man was this one of the best things I've had in a while! The brisket is soft, tender and packed with flavor. The mayo and pate add to the tenderness of the sandwich while still being crispy just like how I like my baguettes. And I almost drank by itself the provided bone marrow soup that's supposed to be for dipping. I also like how they put their drinks (like the Thai tea) in a recyclable plastic can, it looks so ergonomically pleasing! From previous visits, I also recommend their Piggylicious banh mi, fried chicken wings and their Viet coffee with durian. I'm down to come here again, tell my family and friends about here, recommend this place to anyone who hasn't been here yet, and then come here once more pretty much! read more

Came here for a yelp elite event and omygod?? AMAZING Now don't get me wrong the Banh Mi drip is $17 and is a little steep for a banh mi but this was absolutely worth it. Brisket was so tender and the bread was perfectly toasted. It paired so well with the bone marrow broth. Will definitely be coming back to try other dishes! read more

Saigon Drip Cafe - Banh Mi Drip - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I will remember this banh mi for a long time. I ordered the Banh Mi Drip, their most popular. I can't lie, this may be the best banh mi I've ever had. I'm not Vietnamese, but I am an Asian living and eating in the San Gabriel Valley, so for me, this is a big deal. First things first... Where they cut the sandwich in half, they know you're gonna take a bite at the middle, open end. So, a keen observer will notice that instead of just letting a good sandwich be, they ADDED AN EXTRA BITE OF MEAT ON EACH HALF!!! So don't be fooled by the picture on the menu - it's even MORE! I've never heard of false advertising that works in favor of the customer! Ok. The brisket itself is delicious. Tender, juicy, fatty, sweet, savory. If they had put a little crisp, caramelization on the meat, I would be calling Michelin so fast. But you're not going to care because the crisp on the bread will satisfy that texture/mouthfeel category. Even after you dip the sandwich in the *bone marrow broth* (are you kidding me?!), the crunch persists. The bread is exactly what it should be and executed well above average. Fresh. Now let's talk about that broth. I didn't expect much, and maybe that's why I'm so mind blown. The broth was so so good. Served hot, beautiful amber color. I felt it was just short of "rich," but that was after I had sipped it BY ITSELF (which I wouldn't do with au jus, but makes sense for pho broth). I HAD to do that because I was floored after taking a bite of the broth-soaked bread. The flavor that floods out was incredible. Mixed with their kewpie-style mayo, the flavors remained distinct. I'm stalling... it's hard to describe the flavor of the broth, so I'm going to have start with umami. If you like bone marrow, this broth will take you most of the way there. It is meaty, ever so slightly unctuous, but still clean. Amazing. Service 10/10. Seating was 6/10. Air conditioning was 6/10, but it was humid today. read more

Saigon Drip Cafe - Possibly the greatest banh mi of my life. The Saigon Drip - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I ordered the Banh Mi Drip, which was identified on the menu as the most popular item, and it's worth a try! The bread is well-toasted and filled with saucy brisket and grilled onions. I've never had a banh mi you dip, but the bone marrow soup was a unique way to pack on the flavor. The sandwich was tasty and a good portion, but I wish there were more pickled vegetables to brighten up the flavor which was a too salty and heavy for me. Located on the edge of Pioneer Square, the restaurant has a hip interior and is currently decorated for Lunar New Year. Service was very friendly and there is seating and bathrooms inside. read more

This was my second time at Saigon Drip Cafe, the first time being a Yelp Elite Event. I decided to try the vermicelli noodle bowl with tofu since I've already had the tofu banh mi. It was $19 but the portion was huge so felt worth it. The tofu was the perfect texture and it came with a little bonus egg roll on top. It was very tasty! Despite the busy lunch rush, my food was delivered quickly. I ordered from the kiosk which made it easy to decide because there were photos of the dishes next to each menu item. Service was excellent and so friendly!! read more

Unfortunately, the Banh Mi Drip sandwiches now cost $17 vs $13. For the size of the sandwich, I don't think it's worth it. Their whole menu is overall pretty pricey. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese soups and sandwiches, there are other restaurants with better pricing than Saigon Drip Cafe. The service and food are still good. Staff are nice. But with the price increase, I don't think I am coming back. read more

Walked in there's a good amount of seating, there's a lot of people when I went around 1 PM. Looked clean inside, ordered at the kiosk. Got the food really quickly less than five minutes was nice and hot bread was really fresh. Was a mix almost between a cheese steak and banh mi. Broth was really flavorful. Would come back to try other things on the menu. read more

Saigon Drip Cafe - Bank Mi Drip - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

More expensive than expected ($19 for small steak pho) but fantastic pho! Broth was flavorful, steak was tender and not immediately overcooked on arrival to the table, sprouts were super fresh. The small size had a good amount of meat( as someone who orders the large size at most pho places). Noodles were thicker and similar to pad Thai noodles, which I didn't mind since they took longer to get bloated with soup. I did not try the banh mi dip sandwich since it was $17 and I don't think I've seen a banh mi priced anywhere close to over $10. Overall would recommend based on pho alone. Just be aware of the prices before going! Also there is a random life-size taylor swift cutout in the corner of the restaurant that might float your boat~ read more

The meats in the buns and soup had an unappealing smell. Taste wasn't good at all. We were so really looking forward to it. And super disappointed. Left hungry. Music weird and unpleasant so no vibe. Try other venues. read more

One of the best banh mis and sandwiches I've had in Seattle! Would highly recommend getting the brisket banh mi, the bread is perfectly fluffy yet crunchy, and the brisket is so flavorful but not too heavy. The Vietnamese coffee is also the perfect pick me up! There's plenty of seating inside but it does get crowded during peak lunch hours. You order on an iPad and service is quick and friendly. I've come back 3 times already and will continue doing so. read more

Saigon Drip is spot on when it comes to their Banh Mi and I'm a snooty Bahn Mi Connoisseur :). Portions are reasonable and the filling is always tasty!

As a fellow Vietnamese this place is both familiar but foreign. The banh mi dip be sweeter than anything I've ever had (ain't a bad thing) but def not approved by my mama.

Got the Cult Cut Classic with egg added through DoorDash. So happy they have the classic banh mi with cold cuts because I will say, not a lot of places do - just the authentic ones.

Got some good ass Vietnamese fusion in downtown. If looking for banh mi in a casual place, check out this cafe in Pioneer Square. Saigon Drip Cafe is like a place that has a good version of Americanized Vietnamese. Affordable compared to other places like it. The place has plenty of room, with long tables. Came at lunch because this is what it's best for. It's too light for a big meal. The banh mi is the main thing. Classic street food. It's about $5 for fruit tea. Has coffee but doesn't have non dairy milk. The fruit tea is the next best thing. It's about $10 for a banh mi. The vegetarian one is the Veggie Vortex. Fluffy bread and it was filling. This has a few slices of baked tofu, along with carrots, cilantro, cucumbers, daikon, mayonnaise which I left off, and soy sauce. Also it's open at breakfast. This is a time I haven't been here, so who knows about what they got in mornings. Has pretty authentic flavors for being casual. It's located on Washington Street. There's a few good options for vegans and vegetarians. read more

One of the crispiest banh mi I have had in America! I got the bok bok b*tch without the pate and passionfruit mango limeade. The sandwich could have used more flavor since it was just mayo as the sauce, but I was really impressed with how crispy the sandwich was. The limeade wasn't too sweet and the flavors really hit. They also gave out roses to every customer for mothers day. How sweet! I really like the interior design! read more

Such a late review but I came here back on February 13 and it was a great choice! Our first day visiting rainy Seattle so we decided to get some nearby pho. It was the first time I have seen a hot pot-esque style of pho, so creative and shareable! I even got banh mi to go and had to keep it in the fridge. Even after, the bread and everything was still so good! Very rare to still be tasting fairly fresh too in my opinion. The staff were nice and accommodating; kiosk service as well but also staff available to talk to. The whole place had good, fun vibes and we enjoyed our experience here. I don't know what's up but they also had a Taylor Swift cut out lol read more

We're already planning to come back just for that! Also tried the cafe sua da with durian! if you love durian, this one's a must. They also have a photo booth inside, which we didn't get to try since we came a little late, but it totally adds to the vibe. Overall, a fun spot worth checking out! 10/10 will be back read more

Top 3 favorite sandwich spots in SEA. These banh mi drips are made of dreams, happiness and a plentiful amount of meat and sauce. I also recommend their wings. Great location in pioneer square. It's a casual setting and perfect to hit up before a Ms or Seahawks game so you don't pay inside the stadiums. First time I was here I was solo, as I had ended a bike ride here. the owner/manager came over several times to check how I liked everything. He was very personable. read more

I'm honestly so surprised I haven't heard of Saigon Drip earlier! A bustling Vietnamese joint serving up delicious banh mi, Vietnamese coffee, bun bo hue, pho, and more, like Vietnamese fried chicken wings (which I got for free with my Yelp check in!) I got the Banh Mi Drip, which is their signature Banh Mi, at the suggestion of the staff. It was delicious! As much as I loved the banh mi itself, the best part was the broth. Absolutely phenomenal, and you can even watch them make it right behind the counter in huge pots in the kitchen. It was very crowded at lunchtime, so they packed everything for me to-go. The staff were very kind and took my order at the counter, and they also have mobile kiosks that you can place an order on. The food was definitely made to order as it was piping hot, and the bread was very crispy. One banh mi is very filling and I had to save half for later! The chicken wings were absolutely phenomenal as well. Super hot, crispy, juicy, and bursting with fish sauce flavor. Even the pickled radish and carrots on the side were delicious. I can't wait to come back here to try their pho and bun bo hue, as well as come earlier in the daytime to try their selection of Vietnamese coffees! read more

This place provide a TERRIBLE customer service. I had a very disappointing experience due to unprofessional behavior from the staff. Instead of treating customers with basic respect, what kind of employees that talk about customer behind their back when they are still in the store? If you can't pronounce the name, simply call out the order number. But no, staffs here made fun of customer's name, asking other employees in the store and ended up come to ask with the reason "I have a different name so I want to know how to pronounce people's name" Customer service should be welcoming and respectful, not mocking. I hope management takes this seriously and provides proper training, because no customer should be treated this way. Additionally, the staff took an unreasonably long time to give out orders because they were joking around instead of focusing on their work. This caused unnecessary delays and showed a lack of professionalism. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place! The surrounding area isn't the best, so be cautious outside but the food here is fantastic and so worth the visit. My friend and I came on a Saturday night and there were a good amount of people inside, but nothing too crazy. You order at the counter kiosks and they bring you your food when ready. We got the classic cold cut and banh mi drip, and also an order of the fish sauce wings (which you can get for free when checking in on Yelp!). The food came out so fast and man was it good. The wings were so crispy and juicy and had the most delicious savory sweet sticky sauce with fresh pickled veggies on the side. I still dream of those wings. Both banh mi we're also delicious -- the cold cut was probably the best I've had in Seattle, as it has the perfect amount of each meat and pate, all within a crispy but fluffy baguette. Service was so friendly and the food was so good! This is definitely a spot I'd return to :) read more

Service 5/5 -- Self-order kiosks available and they bring out the food to you. Staff has always been attentive and caring during my visits. Today, I accidentally ordered rice instead of vermicelli and they quickly remade it for me and graciously offered a free appetizer coupon for the wait. Table cleanliness is hit or miss, you bus your own table but staff is quick clean up when it's not super busy Ambience 4.5/5 -- Super busy! Hard to find seating during the rush but tables open up quickly enough. I love the restaurant concept, decor, and appreciate the Vietnamese music. My only complaint is how small it is inside and the amount of flies in there Food 4/5 -- Super sad to say that I'm disappointed from the first time. When I came on May 4th, I got the Bun Bo Hue hotpot and was super impressed with how flavorful the broth was! Spicy and full of lemongrass, one of the best I've had out here. Abundance of veggies and staff was quick to offer more. It was 5/5 stars then and had me craving more! I revisited on May 28th and hoped to get the same BBH hotpot but learned they only serve it on weekends, major bummer. I got a regular steak pho and was disappointed by the broth, it lacked depth and flavor and the fresh noodles became soggy quickly (I personally prefer chewier noodles). It was a 3/5 star pho experience Today I was super excited to get BBH and ordered a regular bowl with iced coffee. Coffee was good, strong and slightly sweet. Maybe it's the novelty of the hotpot situation, but the regular bowl didn't have the same flavorful broth that I've tasted before. You can see a visible difference in the broth color! It wasn't spicy and I found it rather bland, no amount of chili can replace the spices that good BBH needs. The pork blood wasn't great, it didn't taste pure/clean (IYKYK). The meat, however, was so tender, flavorful, and falling off the bone. It saved the entire dish for me. Spring rolls were good, same as the first time I visited. I wasn't impressed with the chicken vermicelli bowl. It was ok for my taste but I've had better. Overall, I'm disappointed with my experience today but I'm still open to coming back specifically for the Bun Bo Hue hotpot. read more

Flavor explosion in my mouth with their amazing lettuce wrap egg rolls! A tour ended nearby and a little previous research saw that with a check-in on Yelp you got a free appetizer. We ordered the lettuce egg roll wraps and an order of their salt and pepper wings as well as a lemonade and a few coronas. During their happy hour needs are discounted (well at least corona) and all appetizers are 1/2 off. Wings were nice and crispy and very good but what stole the show was their egg roll lettuce wraps. I have never seen basil and cilantro and cucumber slices to be included as well as the staple carrot mixture. It made for such a yummy treat! Plus the egg rolls had great flavor!!! Would go back in a heartbeat for another order. It's not too large inside with a mixture of some two person tables, long bench seating and even a counter area seating. The people working were extremely nice and kind and had just a little wait for our very fresh and hot food. read more

Lovely place on Pioneer Square. Was hopping when we were there on the weekend. Nevertheless we were able to get a table. The food came to the table fast and fresh. We saw them running around behind the counter preparing the meat for the pho and banh mi. Enjoyed the decor, with a scooter like you might "typically" see in the streets of Saigon in a niche up on the wall. Windows on two sides although not that much to see, tbh as it's not facing the square itself. Great comfort food. Loved their fusion ideas for the banh mi. Mouth watering deliciousness. read more

Conflicted, because I paid almost $30 with tip and tax for a can of soda, 2 small banh mis, and cold fries. The flavors were good and I felt full after. The presentation for $30 banh mi was lacking as it comes in a to go container even if you dine in and the included the thick stems of cilantro that usually aren't used. The flavor was definitely there, but I told some people how much I paid for my meal and they laughed at me :(. Also the pho broth that comes with their signature sandwich leans sweet. I probably wouldn't come again for awhile because of how expensive it is but it was good. read more
