Mekong (pork) 7.5/10, ~$11-12
Jonathan K.

Came on a Sunday afternoon, and they are relatively busy. Indoor seating is a little limited in terms of tables, but they have plenty of high table counters. Parking is also a little limited as it's in Greenlake area, but should be able to find some sort of street parking. Mekong (pork) 7.5/10, ~$11-12 - pretty good! Inside is basically just pork, cilantro, and the standard radish/carrot mix - the bread is super crispy while also quite soft, super easy to chew and easy to eat. Not like some of the super hard bread that you occasionally find at banh mi shops - pork flavor is great! You can definitely taste the grilled flavor, and their marinade is quite enjoyable as well - only thing I wish was if the sandwich itself was a little larger. Maybe I'm used to eating huge Banh Mi's at other spots, but I felt that this sandwich that I ate was maybe 75% of the standard sandwich size. Anyways, for a lack of size, it makes up with a great flavor. Most people will probably be full from eating the sandwich. Overall: Mostly reasonable prices in the $11-12 range for a sandwich, but $15-16 range for rice bowls. Meat is super flavorful, bread is crispy yet soft, and overall an enjoyable sandwich. Just wish it were a little bigger.

Bahn Mi filling
Ally P.

This is my favorite Bahn Mi in Seattle! Bread is toasted perfectly, the sandwich filling is delicious (pork is my personal favorite), they put the most delicious sauce on their sandwich and bowls. Staff is always friendly and very efficient, a great place to stop for a quick grab and go. Boba tea is delicious. I have also had their bahn mi bowl which was also very good, large portion, I was able to save it for a second meal. Whenever I am in greenlake this is my go-to.

My sister and I were spending the day at Green Lake, then decided to grab lunch at Toast Mi. There are multiple Toast Mi locations scattered across the western side of Washington, but this was both our first time visiting! Ordering is made simple here. There is a self-ordering kiosk inside. At the time, there wasn't an employee working the register to help with ordering. Fortunately, it wasn't busy for them to need to work the register to get customers helped. My sister ordered the Grilled Chicken Bowl and Peach Fruit Tea. I ordered the Grilled Pork Bowl and Crème Brûlée Vietnamese Coffee. The food and drinks were made pretty quickly. We ate inside the restaurant since there was open seating available. The food and drinks were good. However, I felt like the bowl was lacking a bit of flavor. The bowl is essentially a vermicelli bowl, except we both opted for a salad base. I do want to come back and try a banh mi though!

The imperial special
Victoria L.

I am so happy to have found this spot after yoga for lunch. I ordered the thai tea and imperial special which included my choice of 2 meats, which I picked grilled chicken and pork. The bread was perfectly crispy, as well as the cucumber and picked radish and carrots. It all went together perfectly. The thai tea was also awesome. The meat was moist and cooked well. The inside of this location was so clean and it was easy to find. Parking was not nearby but I was fine with a walk. The service is super friendly and they will eventually have a monitor to place orders too.

1. The Mekong (Grilled Pork Banh Mi)
Matthew W.

Came in during the afternoon around 4pm, no line. Worker was helpful and service was quick. Ordered the grilled pork sandwich with extra meat and it was delicious--very good crunch to the bread. Would absolutely go again next time i'm in green lake

The Sapa without Pate and Mayo
King R.

The fast service meant that I didn't experience much while I was in and out. However, during my brief interactions with the representatives at Toast Mi, I was impressed by their exceptional personalities and people skills. This made me feel connected to the establishment. For my meal, I ordered the Sapa (sautéed tofu) Banh Mi without mayonnaise or any pork or meat. I found the sandwich to be very tasty; the bread was fresh, and all the ingredients were top-notch. Overall, I would rate the taste and freshness of this dish as 4.7 out of 5. It's a great menu option for those who identify as vegan or vegetarian, but just remember to inform the staff about your dietary preferences before ordering. I look forward to returning for the full experience.

Best tee
Ihor S.

Such a great spot! I ordered an iced boba tea and it was perfectly balanced -- not too sweet, very refreshing, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The boba itself was fresh and had the perfect chewy texture (not hard or rubbery like in some places). I also loved the presentation -- the cup design is fun and eye-catching, and everything was served nicely. The drink was super refreshing and hit the spot. Service was fast and friendly, and you can tell the staff cares about what they do. I'll definitely be coming back to try more flavors. Highly recommen

Kumquat Fruit & Basil Seeds Tea
Mimi N.

After a nice brisk walk in the morning around the lake, my friends and I came here for some boba. Overall, solid tea spot for anyone craving a drink. Things to note: 1. Tea Options: With a wide range of flavors and combinations, definitely recommend trying the: Strawberry Cheesecake, Kumquat & Basil Seeds and Peach tea. All three flavors were refreshing and for me, less sweet option was the perfect amount of sugar I needed for my drink. Didn't get a chance to try the other drinks my friends ordered but were told that it was a tad too sweet on the Taro Oreo and such. 2. Do note if you order no ice, there is an extra charge 3. If you're hungry, there are options to order food like the Viet sandwich banh mi and small things like spring rolls 4. Interior is a little small but definitely a cool spot to hang out with friends or family. 5. For parking, it's only the street

Stopped by on a whim. We were in seattle to get warm after being without power for a couple days in Bellevue. Bellevue does not have good banh mi. This spot has excellent banh mi sandwiches. Staff were friendly and helpful. Love that the sandwiches can be customized. I ordered the Mekong without pate and jalapeños (sharing with the kids). Portions are bigger than youd expect. Overall a great experience and we'll definitely be back when we're in the city again. Even better would be for them to open a location in Bellevue.

1. The Mekong (Grilled Pork Banh Mi) - IG @bougiefoodieboi
Kyle W.

Delicious, reliable banh mi and rice bowls place in Greenlake area. I went here for a quick dinner and opted to order a grilled pork banh mi (mekong) through Grubhub for pickup to use my monthly Grubhub credits and it was reliable, but I recommend ordering directly on their website or go in person for lower prices. A banh mi ordering direct is around $10-11 plus tax, so not the cheapest banh mi, but it is okay price. The banh mi has a good amount of crunch without having a lot of crumbs scattered out, and there is a good amount of toppings to show they really pack the ingredients in the banh mi, but expertly put so that barely any ingredients spill around as I eat. They put a generous amount of daikon and they definitely do not skimp on the meat. I was fairly satiated upon finishing my banh mi, and I would definitely order again if I want to crave something quick and affordable.

7. The Imperial City Banh Mi
Keely H.

Really yummy banh mi place! The banh mi had a lot of filling the bread was perfectly soft and toasted. I tried the grilled pork banh mi and the imperial city. I would highly recommend the imperial city since it comes with an egg. Service was good (it's walk up to order) and the interior is spacious and has lots of natural lighting. I also tried the kumquat fruit tea and it was delicious, not too sweet! Great lunch spot in the greenlake area.

Unlike many BBQ restaurants that display roasted pork, duck, and other meats in the front window, this place doesn't have that kind of display, so it can be easy to drive right past it. Don't let the location fool you--this place is popular, and I'm glad I stopped in and discovered it. I later found out that both Anthony Bourdain and Mike Chen have visited, which made me appreciate the place even more. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is outstanding. My favorite is the giant crispy catfish served with vermicelli and a delicious dipping sauce. The grilled conch is also excellent and definitely worth ordering. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food, great service, and some really good dishes, I highly recommend giving Rainier Restaurant a try.

The restaurant has an older, cozy atmosphere, and the service was excellent: quick, friendly, and efficient.

Ohmagawd!!! Miss Pho delivered big on the YUMM and customer service scale!!!…read more The Salt & Pepper Calamari were finger-lickin' good and the Classic Combination Pho tasted rich, flavorful, and so satisfying. It warmed and comforted me on this chilly Saturday. The Miss Pho Special with the huge bone-in beef rib, rare thinly sliced steak, well-done brisket, meatballs, tendon, tripe, and topped with a creamy raw egg yolk (very authentic Vietnamese-style) was very fun to try. I requested a side of sliced garlic and chili oil to mix in my pho and it added another amazing layer of flavor and texture. My only critique of the bone-in beef rib is that I think it could have been cooked even longer because I got some chewy parts that were tough to eat and a lot of the meat did not easily fall off the bone like I thought it should. Miss Pho is a super busy and popular restaurant. So be prepared to wait and make sure to add your name on the list at the register right away. Customer service can be mixed but I've been lucky to have gotten attentive and friendly service both times I've eaten there. Kudos to the owner who drained my pho of the broth leftover that I was taking to go and gave me a whole fresh separate complimentary container of broth because she wanted to make sure when I ate my leftover pho later that the noodles wouldn't get as soggy. I don't know if this is common practice for them, but I thought that simple gesture was kind and above and beyond. Thanks again :-) Support this wonderful small business! They are located off Holman Road near Carkeek Park and a QFC in a strip mall with a lot of parking. Dare to try something new! Happy exploring and happy eating!!!

On the other hand, some remarkably bizarre choices and inexplicably bad dishes leave you thoroughly confused. I'm a positive person (kind of), so let's start with the good. Their bahn tieu, or hollow bread, ranks up there as maybe the best bread-as-an-appetizer in the city. From the moment you cut it in half and feel the hiss of the steam escaping from the middle, you know it's going to be good. The outside is crispy, and the inside is so unbelievably fluffy it's wild. The honey coating on the bottom just adds that slightly sweet flavor that makes it even better, and the honey butter works perfectly to spread and let melt on the hot bread inside. For just $4, it's comes at an unbelievable price. We liked ours so much we ordered it again at the end. Following that same theme, the next thing we had, the toasted bahn mi, was also incredible. This is definitely not your typical bahn mi - as it comes in two mini triangle shaped pieces with a fried exterior. This outside has the perfect crunch and slight oiliness in its texture, and the inside of chicken liver parfait and pork floss just works so well. The nuoc cham also has essentially every flavor - sweet, salty, umami, spicy - it's the perfect dipping sauce. Ok, now let's talk about the truly incomprehensible. The rockfish fish and chips contains some of the worst fried fish I've ever had. The breading is beyond repair - it's practically soggy to the touch. When taking a bite out of the fish in your fish and chips feels like eating a bamboo shoot, you've completely lost the plot. I shudder to think about how this would appear when put next to some of the other fried fish I've had in Seattle. There's no seasoning, and to make matters worse, something just tastes very off about the inside. I don't even mean that's its overcooked, which it is, but there's just something weird going on that I can't quite put my finger on. Also, the tartar sauce might be the worst I've ever had. It's essentially just a pickled salad. There's no fat - no mayo or anything to provide something good to dip the fish into. It's just watery, liquidy, and functions atrociously at its job of being a dipping sauce. At least the fries were decent enough. If that wasn't everything - there's two more things that went wrong. The first one of these is just laughable. When we sat at our table and tried to order from the lounge menu, which is an all-day menu (not just happy hour), we were told that we couldn't be served the lounge menu at our current table, and had to be moved to the lounge area. And then - completely serious - we were proceeded to be moved like three seats over, now told we were in the lounge area, and allowed to order the lounge menu. It was so ridiculous both of us couldn't stop laughing for like five minutes. Even now I find it incredulous. The fact that there was some great firewall standing between the lounge and main dining area that prevented them from bringing a lounge plate one iota outside the allocated area is exceptionally funny. The second one is a bit more annoying. When we got our table, we were asked if we wanted still or sparkling water. I found this a bit odd - it reminded me of Europe - but I didn't think too much of it and asked for still, assuming that like essentially every restaurant in the US - the water would be complimentary. It was my absolute shock that we were charged 12 (twelve) American dollars for water. What!? In the land of the free? And the home of the brave? Really? Twelve dollars? Water? You know the kind where Seattle has some of the best tap water in the country, and you can literally just fill that up. Granted, it was probably partially our fault for not blocking the question entirely and asking for tap water from the start, but I assumed they asked between these two options to just determine the type of water we wanted. Overall, this has a couple of the highest highs, but the lows here are in the depths of hell. 5/10

Ordered a kids pho and the duck vermicelli - well seasoned, big portions and perfect for this rainy and then sunny fall day. Also grabbed every flavor of rice krispy treats on the way out, yum! Clean restaurant, busy but not slammed on a Saturday afternoon.
