Food - Calamari was yummy. Bun bowl was tasty and well portioned. Pho needed some more flavor but overall the meal was hearty. Service - Fast service and friendly host staff. Ambiance - A rustic vietnamese american restaurant vibe to it. Kind of dim with vietnamese music playing. Really sets the mood and is exactly how I imagine vietnamese restaurants to feel. read more

Home style Vietnamese cuisine with no frills. Simple, cozy, and down home. Portions are huge and you can feed a family of 5 on a budget. The grilled meats and seafood are good and the vermicelli bowl is classic and balanced with flavors of lemongrass, fish sauce and a nice char on the protein. My go to is the grilled pork chop with broken rice, pickled veggies and side of bind broth. The char is great and the meat falls off the bone. There are lots of good options for vegetarians and the menu is light and bright. Ambiance is reminiscent of many Chinese restaurants and you don't get a Tamarind Tree or Monsoon vibe. You do get value and this is a trade off. Door dash is expensive and I recommend parking in the CID and walking up. You can also park in front of the restaurant but over the years, there are a lot of sketchy characters, flea markets, and fentanyl slumps that occur outside of the restaurant. read more

Thanh Vi - #33. Banh Mi with complimentary broth, tea, and water. - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

One of my new favorite spots in Seattle. I got the banh mi and the bao, both of which were truly fantastic, particularly the banh mi. Was really thrilled with the meal, and would for sure come back! read more

Wanted banh mi but my usual places don't have seating. Had the pork--it was delicious. Also had shrimp on sugar cane skewer appetizer--surprisingly good. Very clean restaurant, friendly and attentive staff, fresh ingredients...I'll definitely eat here again. read more

I accidentally ordered from this Thanh Vi rather than my usual (U District). After reading the reviews, I prepared myself for the worst. And while it wasn't quite that bad, it also wasn't very good. The chicken was ice cold when it arrived. The broth didn't smell very flavorful but I was hopeful (despite numerous reviews to the contrary), and pumped it full of sriracha and hoisin. To no avail, it seems. The broth is eternally flavorless. It's edible and there was a ton of shredded chicken, which won it the 3 stars, but there's no way I'll order from here again. Half my interest in pho is the broth and this lacked on all fronts, especially for the price point. read more

Parking can be tricky despite a shared small parking lot, but the food is worth a stop. Huge portions, plenty of seating, quick service, good value and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of flavors, fresh ingredients, and really tasty and juicy meat. Got my usual pork and shrimp bun and was already craving more as I polished off my bowl. Note we sat at the table for a while before I realized they don't bring you the check (or rush you out the door) so you pay up front before you leave. read more

Thanh Vi - Shrimp and pork bun - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Food is average like any other Vietnamese restaurant. Service is good. Didn't have to wait long for foods since business is usually slow here. Atmosphere to restaurant is good with the exception that you may want to be careful coming in and out of restaurant. This is due to potential high crime area even in the parking lot. read more

We came here on Labor Day Monday around 8 pm. I swear most of the Vietnamese restaurants around the area were closed. We wanted something cheap and quick and settled on this spot. At first I wasn't too excited because of the ratings, but I am so glad we went! They had the best smoothies/bubble tea drinks! Too bad they were out of boba, but the jelly they added to our blended mango and papaya smoothies was yummy! They also add the crispy stick in the spring rolls! Peanut sauce was a lil runny though. We ordered: - beef bahn mi - vermicelli bowl - spring rolls - mango jelly bubble tea - papaya jelly bubble tea It was all good! Will need to try their pho next time, it was too hot to try it Monday lol read more

Best pho in Seattle. I come here once a week, and it's the best hangover cure. They have a huge menu and everything that I've ever had is always a hit. I also loveeee the fresh rolls -- they have the fried wrapper in it so you get some nice texture and the peanut sauce is perfect. I also really like the banh xeo here. The service is also speedy and servers are very kind. read more

Thanh Vi - a person eating a bowl of soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Thanh v rice combo. Their egg cake (ch trng ) was cold, and their shredded pork skin (bì) was like clear noodles and cold as well. Their sugarcane shrimp doesn't taste right at all, it was like egg wrapped sugarcane. Not worth the price of $12 or $14 with tax. Go to Vietnam house is better. I wish I went there. Never go here again. Their service was okay, no complain. read more

Thanh Vi - Thanh V Rice dishes. - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Best Vietnamese we've had since moving to WA! As my pics show we ordered many of our "old go-to's" so we would be able to give a fair assessment. Of course they've got take home containers! A clean comfortable friendly environment greeted us. Noticeable "take-out" business which is a plus. The menu is impressive covering all desires for the Vietnamese tastes. We did note that the "sauces" (peanut, fish) and Pho broth were somewhat mellow/muted in flavor for what we're accustomed to. The "noodles" are rice vermicelli and were good. The fried rice was very good and the seafood/meats were good quality and well presented. The only big disappointment was the Cha Gio, sadly it was flavorless and dry. read more

I order take out from this place more than anywhere else so I'm much overdue for a review. Their food, quantity, value and packaging has improved throughout this year. Solid fixings: duck salad, bun bi tam, bun bo hue, vermicelli bowls, com tam Eh: Banh xeo: batter is crunchy but fillings is inconsistent Banh mi: there's other great ones nearby read more

Please do not order from here. I ordered to-go and my pho broth had a cockroach in it. Luckily I noticed it , how disgusting. I also ordered a banh mi but I threw that out too. One cockroach means more cockroaches... read more

Thanh Vi - Cockroach in pho broth - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Needing a recovery meal a day after a party, I decided to go to Thanh Vi for some pho. I ordered their pho dac biet which includes thin sliced steak, well done steak, beef tendon, tripe, & meatball. Being presented w/ the dish & trying the pho, it was honestly very disappointing. No matter how much hoisin sauce I drenched into the pho, it didn't make it any better. I almost wanted to throw up after eating it. In my opinion, this by far has to be one of the worse pho I have ever had. Coming here to recover, only to leave needing more recovery. read more

I've ordered delivery from here a few times, but last night was the first time I dined in. The food is pretty tasty. Five stars mostly for the huge portion sizes!! Their hotpot is listed as large enough for two, but I'm pretty sure it's enough for three or four people. We had each ordered an entree plus a hotpot to share and it was wayyyy to much food! (Which definitely is not a bad thing!) Will definitely be back to dine in again! read more

Thanh Vi - Pork hotpot w/ grill pork bun bowl!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have had a llllllllllloooooooooooong history w/ this place! Been going here since the early 90s. So many memories.. the big broken rice plates they used 2 have for $5 back in the day w/ huge portions of egg cake, pork chop n they used 2 have tomato slices that came w/ it.. how this place used 2 have a level higher than the floor in the back, the light blue uniforms 1 of the most recent owners implemented, the renovations, the different owners this place had, probly went thru 3 or 4 since then.. w/ each owner, 1 after the other diminishing the quality of the food @ this place.. (yes, different owners bring different cooks n systems n times r different, 1 can make that argument).. the previous owner left 2 open up Origins here on Downtown 2nd Avenue.. @ 1st that place was good, but their quality is suffering as well but getting back 2 the current state of this restaurant.. it is just a shadow of its former glory self this time, it did not help.. when I come here, I usually order their broken rice dish, but I tried their beef stew instead, hoping it will b good, but it fell way short as well.. the dish had nice aroma 2 it, but the dish needed more flavor n it contained 2 much fatty meat n not enough lean portions of beef that tenderly flake off.. quite sadly, the baguette was the only highlight of it the iced coffee was ok I had some pork chop n egg cake from my mother's dish of broken rice n the pork was overdone, the cake needed more flavor service was decent restroom was clean b4 Yelp n during its "Glory Days", this place was supreme.. now it is just a place 2 reminisce of the good times past read more

I am super picky about Vietnamese food so it was great to find this place. Really enjoyed the food, which is rare for most of the places I've gone to around the Seattle area. There was nothing that I tried, that I didn't like. Also they have a parking lot, which is very helpful to find free parking in the International District! Both the waitress & the owner/manager seemed very friendly. Please note that this is NOT affiliated with the Thanh Vi in the University District, completely different place. I hope you will take a look at my photos of all the yummy food and drink we had. It's hard to say what my favorite was: possibly a tie between the spring rolls or one of the beef dishes. Prices are also pretty reasonable :) read more

This place was EXCELLENT! Great value for the money. You get a TON of food (careful not to order too much up front like we did). We had the Spring Rolls. Cant go wrong with the Soups! We had two Soups, both HUGE and delicious. Ask Server for recommendations. Six of us ate for like $80 and we got Cash Back from Groupon. Worth driving over to (we actually walked from Pike Place Market). Would definitely recommend. read more

I legit saw rats through the door when the place was closed *vomit emoji* I would not come back after seeing those huge rats. The food might be good, but definitely not worth returning after seeing rats- fat, bootylicious rats. read more

Not a bad place for some Vietnamese grub in the International District. I started with the Vietnamese Chicken Wings and ordered the House Special with Broken Rice and per the recommendation of the server, instead of the pork chop that it normally comes with, I substituted for the short ribs. It didn't take long for us to get our food. I really liked that the House Special with Broken Rice provided different items, to try. However, I did find that there were some items I liked and some I didn't care for. The texture of the short ribs was a little too rough to break apart, but overall, they were fine. The salad with the fish sauce was a night addition, adding a light element to the overall plate. The fried egg was especially yummy with the broken rice - and I do like that you can substitute white rice for brown rice. The Baked Ground Pork and Egg was something I didn't care for since it was served cold, and hardly tasted the meat. And I really did not like the Sugar Cane Shrimp, as the texture was sandy, so was distracted by the texture and couldn't really taste any shrimp. As for the Vietnamese Chicken Wings, they were good, but wish they weren't so drenched in the fish sauce. Since it was also caramelized in the fish sauce - the flavor was way too abundant, distracting from the flavor of the chicken itself. I'd like to try other dishes in the future. Thanh Vi is located in the Vietnamese section of the International Distract and does have a private parking lot that it shares with in the shopping centre it's located in. Staff is super, super friendly and I would happily return just for that alone, as they try to accommodate you as much as possible and remember frequent customers. read more

As a native to the area, this area has changed a lot in the last 2 years forgot the last 20! This spot sits right behind the VietWah facing the street. Parking is tight but there's a decent lot all around the building. Service is bad here. The boys that work here wear there heart on their sleeves and practically throw the plates at you when they're upset. And will straight up ignore you. I get it, we have bad days, you don't have to smile. But at least have some manners. Food makes up for it though. The mango salad is delicious. They do a special thing here where they roll up an egg roll wrap fry and and stick it in their spring rolls, the vermicelli bowls, adding a delicious crunch! I love it. read more

Thanh Vi - Very nice employee. - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

In my opinion, the Pho here was terrible. The soup doesn't taste right at all. I wish I had listened to my friends that we should have gone to the Dong Thap Noodle Restaurant, that is few steps away from Thanh Vi. The service here wasn't good enough, but not too bad to complain. They just tried to get their job done quickly instead of focusing on their customer service OR checking what their customer needs. They were not that busy at that time. If they want to keep their business run well, they need to change; "unless" they're trying to sell out all food in the storage before closing the restaurant. I'm very serious. read more

i hadn't been here in 20 yrs. Glad that we decided to give it a try. Food was good. I am allergic to MSG and found that most of the Vietnamese restaurants in town either use MSG or chicken powder to enhance flavors. Surprisingly, I had no allergic reaction to the food. the house special rice had a very good home cooked taste to it. this could be my new found go to place. simple but tasty. read more

I've been coming here for too many years to count. Not sure how many times this place has changed ownership but one thing is consistent....their bamboo duck noodle soup is what has me coming back! I love that the duck salad is a generous size with thinly sliced pieces of duck and not full of bones. Depending on when you come, wait staff can be super attentive and friendly to not so much. They play cool catchy music while you're dining and while parking isn't the best, at least there is a parking lot here. They don't bring the bill unless you ask for it but I think they expect you to go up to the counter to pay. read more

The plazas parking lot is so tiny and so bad. People are always parking where they shouldn't. And your biting your nails in fear staring out the window of people trying to park only an inch from your bumper. Like most Asian restaurants not to much customer service. They take your order and leave you alone to eat your food. They did have free wifi and I think 3 flat screen tv's with the game on. My dad wanted to eat here and he ordered the bun mam and it had a really strong but good and addicting broth. I ordered the Com Tam Dac Biet. It was decent. The pork chop and bi was good. The shrimp cane was ok and I don't like egg cake in general. Overall, it was ok, I'd come back only if my dad wanted to. read more

So I finally came back here to actually try their food. I mean, aside from their extra creamy, yummy avocado smoothies... Luckily, I brought a copy of their menu with me! That's because I am not very familiar with Vietnamese food names or dishes except for pho, so now I can actually write a review using the name of the dish I ordered instead of just describing it. My coworker told me that the banh xeo was delicious. And although it's served as an appetizer, it could be a regular meal in itself because it's huge. It's described in the menu as a Vietnamese crepe and stuffed with bean sprout, shrimp, and pork. I was surprised to find that it's deep-fried compared to their French counterparts. It was actually pretty oily and I usually don't like to eat too much of any food that I need to pat out with a paper towel before I consume it. My main dish was a bun nem nuong - as if I'd remember that! There were also some funny accents in the name of the dish, but I'm too lazy to look up how to display it in this review. All I know is that they were two skewers of charbroiled pork meatballs that I thoroughly enjoyed. Because I like flavorful meat (optional: insert "That's what she said" line here)! Anyway, it was served on top of vermicelli noodles and I poured the complimentary fish sauce that came with my dish all over it. Unlike the appetizer, I definitely would not mind eating this again. Anyway, my bun nem nuong lunch was very filling and I walked out of here very satisfied, but Vietnamese food never really stood out as a first choice for me (except maybe pho), so I honestly could only give this place three stars. But I do like meatballs, and they served good meatballs, so this place is A-OK. read more

Thanh Vi is my go-to-place for pho! I live not far from this place and it always seems to hit the spot! I always order the beef pho with all the parts of the cow (rare rib eye, beef ball, tripe, extra tendon). It always bums me out when a pho place doesn't include tendon or tripe, like it will scare away customers or something. They also have a nice version of crispy sprill roll here. Also recommend the grilled pork skewers which are great! Reminscent of real street food from southeast asia. Parking here can be a bit of a disaster. The few spots adjacent to the restaurant are rare so you end up parking way on the other side of the building by the grocery store. Of course I will be back! read more

This place was book marked for me but after seeing a video of rats running around inside I will not be going here to eat.

We ordered delivery. Large Pho, Fried Rice and a Bahn Mi. It's quite apparent the ingredients are very fresh. The Bahn Mi was delicious (except they went a bit overboard on the cilantro - easy to pull off the sandwich though). The Pho was delicious as well, I'm not a Pho expert but it was yummy to my tummy. I am however, a fried rice expert.. and the fried rice was more fluffy rice than fried rice. With a few pieces of protein and bits of peas and carrots scattered about. I refrigerated the fried rice (as day old rice is best for fried rice) and refried it the next day. I added some veggies, homemade kimchi and bits of bacon. It was bomb. Aside from the mis-step with the fried rice, I'd definintely order again. The fresh ingredients and great value will keep me coming back! read more

Went on a Saturday around 1pm. They were fairly busy, but understaffed, and the restaurant was dingy and unkempt. Napkin holders empty at almost all the tables.

I didn't have the best experience here. I walked in and was seated at a dirty table. Food on the seats and on the table. I cleaned it off myself. A couple tables were seated after me and were given water and tea immediately. When waitress finally came to take my order I asked if I got tea and water like everyone else. She brought me water only. Literally EVERYONE else had hot tea but it wasn't offered to me for some reason. I ordered calamari and bun bo hue which is a delicious, spicy stew. Calamari was gross and tasted old. Waitress brought it out with no sauce. I started eating it and when I was almost done she brought out the dipping sauce. The three stars are for the stew. It was pretty delicious. Service was horrible and it wasn't busy. Appetizer was awful. I won't be back based on this experience read more
