Cơm Tấm Bì Chả Sườn Trứng / Broken Rice Plate
Leslie E.

Food is AMAZING! The food is made to order and tastes so good. The service is pretty quick and they get 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.

banh beo
Kathleen N.

Tried Soufend Cafe for the first time. I got the banh beo and banh bot loc. The banh beo was so good! Generous amount of toppings (mung beans, shrimp, etc). The banh bot loc was simple with plain dried shrimp. Water is self service, and the waiter came by to take our order and bring out the food. Service was straight forward with minimal table service. Overall, good place for traditional vietnamese food!

Matcha latte + banana cream foam
Holly Z.

The matcha with ube foam was super smooth and rich, with a strong ceremonial style matcha flavor underneath. The ube foam itself was very creamy with a nice nutty sweetness that paired really well with the matcha. The banana foam version tasted a little artificial banana wise, but it was still creamy and enjoyable overall. I do wish they used less ice since we finished the drinks pretty quickly. Would definitely come back to try the food though. The cafe has a very calm atmosphere, perfect for getting some work done or grabbing a quick bite.

Egg Brown Sugar Coffee and Salted Cheese Foam
Shiena C.

Came here with my boyfriend and his brother, and we were seated right away. We came around 10 AM on a Saturday, and there was plenty of seating. They have self serve water on the left side with carafes that you can also take with you. The water is room temperature. Service was very attentive. There was always staff available to take orders right away and help direct guests to a table. The decor is pretty neat. You get a taste of the city, and it was really cool to see the vinyl records throughout the restaurant. It shows a lot of personality and feels really nice to see someone's passion and personal interests incorporated into the space. We ordered the pho combos, rice tower with pork belly, a couple of Vietnamese coffees, a brown sugar matcha, and sticky rice. The food was absolutely delicious! It was especially neat having the pho served in a hot stone bowl because it keeps the soup hot throughout the meal. Every bite was comforting, especially on a cold, rainy day, which Seattle is known for. The rice tower is what my boyfriend and I ordered, and the pork belly was so good! It was nice and crunchy, and the sides that came with it complemented the flavors really well. The drinks were also very good. I would definitely recommend the egg coffee and pandan Vietnamese coffee if you love coffee. I also love that they have some snacks for sale next to the cashier if you feel like taking something home after your meal. Towards the end of our meal, one of the servers brought out a free dessert, which was such a kind gesture! Overall, we loved the food, service, and overall vibe. Definitely check this place out! There is parking available, but personally, I can imagine it being difficult to find a spot during busier hours, so plan accordingly.

Matcha latte
Jessiah S.

I stopped in to grab a Matcha in the morning right after they opened as I've been on the hunt for the best matcha in Seattle and heard good things about this place. I ordered a Matcha latte with no flavor. I saw that they had an einspanner Matcha and a banana matcha which I'm eager to try. I didn't want anything too sweet so I went with the traditional latte and didn't know if it was going to come sweetened or not. It turned out to be absolutely delicious and very lightly sweetened, which was perfect and exactly what I look for in a Matcha. It was earthy and delicious. I saw that they also served lots of Boba toppings, but I came so early that they weren't serving them yet so I would love to come back and try their Boba. They also have tons of food, which I didn't try but would absolutely come back for. There is plenty of seating and the staff is so friendly :)

My friends and I all tried their same matcha latte, and we noted how it was smooth and well-balanced. We were curious in their Asian-inspired selection of rice krispys, including a pandan rice krispy. It was a fun treat, that had a strong smell of pandan and a slightly weaker taste but still delicious hint of pandan that added a subtle, fragrant, sweetness. Would love to try some of their food dishes in the future!

Bun Bo Hue
Quyen P.

Aside from finding a hair in my bún bò Huế, it was honestly just okay. I also tried the banana matcha latte and the strawberry matcha latte, and those were amazing definitely the highlight of the meal. I totally understand that mistakes happen, but there was a long strand of hair in my noodles, which was pretty off-putting. I will say the staff handled it well though. They noticed, apologized, and brought out a fresh bowl for me, which I appreciated and ended up enjoying. (It's better if you ask for more mam ruốc and add a little more chili oil.) I also enjoyed the bánh cuốn tower, which I didn't take a pictire of because I devoured it. All things considered, I'd probably still come back. And to be real, I might've just kept eating it if the server hadn't seen me pull the hair out lol just kidding.

Com Tam
Geo N.

My mom has been wanting to come back here for a longg time so we finally went after visiting the temple around the corner. It was her second time but my first. I can't say it was anything super special but it was definitely worth a try. Food & drink: (4/5) There are for sure certain items that they excel at and some that need some work. We got the banh uot tower with heo quay, banh khot, banh mi chao, and com tam. I see the appeal of the eye catching banh uot tower, but unfortunately I felt like it was very mediocre. I felt like the portion of veggie and meat wasn't enough for all the rice rolls, plus the actual heo quay was dry with barely any crispy skin. I think they also forgot to give us the heo quay because we had to ask for it much after the banh uot came out. I would skip this next time. I would also skip the banh khot as it was on the softer, chewier side when my personal preference is light and crispy. Those who do like it soft will definitely enjoy it though. As for flavor, it had an extremely prominent coconut taste- it usually isn't so strong in banh khot so I wasn't so fond of this. My family did really enjoy the com tam and banh mi chao. I only had one bite of each, but I would get these items again. Their drinks on the other hand, were delightful. I got the tamarind black tea and my step dad got the lychee green tea. Both were super refreshing and even addicting. I think they tend to do sweet items better, including their rice crispy treats that they sell on the front counter. Service: (4/5) The service here didn't really stand out much but I didn't pay much mind to it. They were very nice but there was a sense of disorganization, mostly due to us not being acknowledged when we first walked in and having some of our food forgotten about.

Love that there's a large menu with so many options and they give very generous portion sizes. I have come for the banana matcha in the past which was really good but I finally came back to try the food. The parking lot gets filled pretty fast but seems like cars dont stay too long. Can't wait to come back and try something else from the menu

Phandat T.

Wow, I'm impressed by how extensive the menu is here! Typically, when a menu is this large, the food tends to be below average, but everything we ordered was actually pretty good. Especially the cháo lòng -- it's better than most places I've had in the area. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes.

chicken vermicelli
Maddie W.

food 5/5 strawberry matcha ($8) was very good. the strawberry puree was fresh. flavors went so well together and i will stop here just to get this again. chicken vermicelli was SOO GOOD. only critique was that it came on a plate. i like to mix my food together, so food was falling off. portion was great. chicken was cooked really well and had lots of flavor. veggies were fresh and the sauce was perfect. service 4/5 this is a small family run business and you can tell everyone is pulling their weight. service is usually a little slow, but i don't mind because the food and drinks are really good. ambiance 5/5 restaurant was clean and tidy. they have lots of small snacks to bring home, which is a great addition. parking lot is TINY, though not far from a bus stop. prices are a bit more than competitors in the area. i feel like the unique drink menu alone is worth stopping by. overall, i love this place and will be visiting again.

This. Place. Hits. So. Hard. You know a place is good when it's packed and there's a line but you know an Asian place is good...when it's full of Asian people. Ordered a bunch of things to try and they were all good- except for the Bún Bò Huế Tacos because they were NOT Bún Bò Huế Tacos (Flour tortilla, cheese, beef topped with basil, beansprout onion, cilantro, and onions served with spicy beef noodle consommé) it was a pho broth and the meat was 80% just fat, no cheese, nothing. The banh xeo was incredible- crispy, full to bursting....just like Vietnam. The Banh Uot tower was also well worth it, lots of filling and the option of proteins is extensive. Some of the plates were hard to get out of the rack. Super vibrant inside and fun. All herbs and lettuce were fresh and clean, if you know, you know.

Priscilla K.

Food is so good! 2nd time going, I do have to say that the crab udon wasn't my thing as it was a bit boring. But doesn't mean it wasn't good! A must order is the Banh xeo! I would definitely come again for this. The broken plate rice dish is great too. Service is great! All the workers are kind. Btw there is a lot parking that seems to always have a spot when I go. A place that is more busy in the weekend. It was pretty empty on a Monday night.

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.

Don't blink or you might miss it so keep your eyes wide open! Momona was delicious tonight. We had…read morea vegetarian platter and pasta with sauce for the kiddo. We enjoyed both. The veggie platter included the standard potato/cabbage/carrot stew (I'm sorry I don't know it's real name), fresh green salad and gomen (stewed greens) which is my usual favorite but tonight I found a new favorite: a super creamy lentil dish that had a nice spicy kick to it - jalapeño like. It was served piping hot in a stone bowl (like the kind that Korean soondooboo is usually served) and wow, it was good. It had the consistency of refried beans. The owner told us later that it had onions, garlic, oil and tomato and got its creaminess from being cooked for so long under a really low heat. We couldn't stop commenting on it. The evening was made even more enjoyable by watching Ethiopian and Eritrean hip hop videos with some regulars. They translated for us and even introduced to the Ethiopian Beyoncé (so they said) and some old school 80's Ethiopian funk. A really fun night all for about $25 for the 3 of us. We will definitely be going back!

Finally got a spot at this super chill restaurant in Othello. Took a couple times to get in because…read morethe other times the chef said she was cooking for a wedding. Not a bad idea to call ahead of time, but no reservations needed or possible. We went on a Saturday night and my boyfriend spontaneously ordered some meat and veggie with injera...it was absolutely delicious! We weren't really sure what to expect, however, because they didn't have any menus. They did have a sick Eritrean music video lineup though. The lighting was reddish and the place had a nice ambiance with local Eritreans drinking beer in the back outside the restaurant. If you like a little adventure, you will not be disappointed by Momona (misspelled on Yelp). It's also the only Eritrean restaurant in Seattle, according to its staff.
