After doing some research on yelp, I decided to try Tony's. I ordered the combination ham bahn mi and the lemongrass fish bahn mi. Both were delicious. They also have hot food available, the fried chicken wings looked good, so I ordered a half pound of those, which had around 7 pieces. The woman working the register was very nice and on my 2nd trip back I asked about the meatballs. I wanted to buy 1, but they only sold them in pairs. She made an exception and I was able to get a single meatball. This was great for them, because 2 days later I went back for 4 more. The shop is a bit old and cluttered, but the food and service are awesome

Stopped by Tony's Bakery for so dessert. It was late in the afternoon and there wasn't much available. So, I grabbed the mung bean dessert, and 1 lb of the fried shrimps with head on. With the dessert, it was good, and it was very kind of one of the ladies that worked there to warm it up for me. She let me know that it would be better that way, which it did! Softened it up a bit. As for the shrimps, I probably should've ate them sooner rather than later. By the time I wanted to enjoy them the crunch was gone!! I think coming here earlier in the day would be better. You'll have more food or desserts to choose from. What can I say about the ambience. It's a small deli in Seattle. Outside parking lot looks a little sketchy, but lots of parking. The inside is pretty small and not lots of walking space. But you're just grabbing your food and go.

Mango salad

As a native Seattleite, I've been coming to this deli since I was little and have tried a good number of things here from their vermicelli noodle boxes (loaded and filled) to their banh mi sandwiches (which I need to give another try) to even their milk tea with flan (don't really recommend). This place is located in a plaza bordering MLK and sits near Happy Lemon and Ding Feng Seafood Restaurant. This will be my second time mentioning this, but be nearly perfect with your parking because parking enforcement is still unforgiving here... or at least it still feels that way. A sign inside this deli even warns you about this. As for the inside, it's like your regular deli with a ton of foods placed on tables, random refrigerated goods and behind-the-counter fried foods. I went here with my mom this time around to grab their mango salad, egg rolls, nem nuong (Viet grilled pork sausage) and cha lua (Vietnamese ham). Everything's really good to say the least! The egg rolls have a great ratio of filling and meat (as in there isn't more of one than the other), and their mango salad always hits. Both meats are also solid too here. They do offer the mango salad as a party tray but you can also ask them to take a portion of it, and you would pay by weight instead. This place is a go-to for me whether I want something quick, something good or both. Very high recommend from a Seattle native!

No frills classic bahn mi shop. There's pre-made food in the front and there's also a buffet for hot food. There isn't anywhere to sit. Service was quick! I got the cold cut bahn mi. It came with all the classic toppings, cilantro, cucumber, jalapeños, pickled daikon and carrots, and a pate. The size was smaller than what I'm typically used to and it also isn't as stuffed. However, considering the price of ~$7 for one it's of decent value.

It is a popular place to get lots of snacks and food. It looks like they also do catering as we see trays of food going out. I would advise to check thoroughly some of the prepackaged goods to make sure they are fresh and to put them in the fridge if you are not going to eat them immediately (as shelf life may not be that long). I did enjoy the fried cha luu from them.

Haven't tried all the banh mi shops in the greater Seattle area, but this one takes the cake so far. They also serve a HUGE medley of other traditional grab-and-go, frozen, hot dish, and catered Vietnamese food. No place to eat in and not a lot of space inside because it's all taken up by tables and shelves to display food or store supplies, but it's worth it. I ordered 2 banh mi sandwiches (fish filet and combo meat with pate $5.50-$6.50). Good thick fluffy baguettes that have some crinkly but not dry crust. Lots of pickled veggie inside done right. Lots of filling. I was surprised that my fish was actually a whole fish fillet with a light and well-seasoned breading, not just fish "loaf". Banh mi also sported thick slices of jalapenos and cucumber. They were perfect. I also ordered a cup of da ua (Vietnamese yogurt $2.75 for about 8 oz) and banh uoc with cha lua (ground meat stuffed rice crepe rolls served with basil, veggies, slices of cha lua (Vietnamese steamed ham meatloaf), and nuoc cham (dipping sauce). There was a heftier amount meat filling inside the crepes than even my favorite place in Southern California. Everything was fresh and well done. The rice rolls kept together and the chew and texture were perfect. The nuoc cham was not watery and flavorful. The da ua was sweet and silky. Highly recommend. The place also served all of my favorite dishes and they all looked so good. Some of my favorite dishes growing up that I saw sold here and looked so delish!: steamed ginger rice place, snail rice plate, meat-stuffed tofu, banh bo nuong (pandan and coconut flavored green honeycomb cake), banh da lon (pandan and coconut flavored layered tapioca sticky cake), banh bao (meatball-stuffed steamed bun), ca phe sua da (Vietnamese coffee with sweetened condensed milk), rau ma (sweetened pennywort leaf juice), red coconut sticky rice (xoi gac nuoc dua) Looks like they also make custom celebration cakes, including pandan and durian flavors. I know where to get my birthday cake next time!!! Oh, and they take credit card, yay!

Sausage fresh roll. Absolutely delicious and it comes with 2 pieces and sauce

Whether you come for lunch, dinner, stocking the snack cabinet, or catering Tony's does not disappoint. At this point the only thing I haven't tried are the cakes. I put in a $500 order for lumpia the week before my event and not only did they help me put them in my car, but they also gave me complimentary cream puffs. They were so easy to order with, and the pans the (heavy) lumpia came in were way more sturdy than I imagined for aluminum disposable pans. I will definitely be coming back for more large catering orders! I also want to emphasize how good their hot food bar, ready to make ready to order bahn mi, fresh rolls, and just pantry supplies are. They've got these incredible boba milk tea mochi, jelly sticks my kids love, Madelines, fried bread...This place needs to be seen to be believed.

If you're in South Seattle and looking for some great Vietnamese food, this local spot is definitely worth checking out. They've got a solid variety of options--everything from hot dishes like Thit Kho (braised pork) and soups to quick grab-and-go meals. But for me, their Bánh Mì is the star. They toast the baguettes just right--crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. I'm all about a good pâté spread, and they nail it here. I usually go for the classic cold cut Bánh Mì, but I recently tried their #10, which is a mix of cold cuts and grilled pork. It was seriously delicious--the grilled pork added a smoky flavor. Whether you're in the mood for something hot or just a tasty sandwich, this place has you covered! It's within a large plaza with plenty of parking also. They also serve fish sauce chicken wings here. I've ordered it for parties before - a bit on the salty side. I gave their mango salad tray a try, not a fan.

Picture of birthday cake!

Banh Mi was very on point! We got the banh mi cold cuts and banh mi sardines. HIGHLY recommend the cold cuts. Really wish I could have ordered a wedding cake here - so beautiful! Service was prompt and reminds me of houston bellaire việt restaurant.

How much is a two tiered white frosted cake for 50 people?

$250 for 6" and 10" tiers. I just ordered last week.

How can I order a cake except by the phone? Does the store have an email? I'm from another country and wanna make a surprise for my friend in Seattle.

Best to do phone and follow you so they don't lose your order

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.

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

Cute small cafe that serves fantastic Vietnamese food and specializes in matcha drinks…read more The banh mi chao aka beef skillet was delicious. They don't serve that dish at a lot of places in Seattle so I was glad they had it at Soufend Cafe & Eatery. It came with diced beef, two eggs, Chinese sausages, cha lua, pate, laughing cow cheese, some veggies, and a toasted French baguette. Overall I liked the sauce but I do think it was slightly salty. My friend got the vegetarian bánh xèo and it was HUGE! Each one was almost long as her forearm lol. It also came with plenty of vegetables. They put a lot of coconut creme and tofu inside the bánh xèo. Matcha with banana cookie foam was ok. The matcha flavor is there but it's not as strong as other matchas I've tried. Overall, we had a good experience and will be back! Hopefully get to try their popular bánh uot tower. Customer service was friendly; interior was clean and modern. They have self-serve water in the corner for you. They have their own private lot so plenty of parking. They're located on MLK st across the OG Joy Palace plaza.

Soufend is one special Vietnamese restaurant in the MLK Jr Way area alongside the veterans like…read moreHoang Lan or Rainier BBQ because of its unique options in the menu. The restaurant is in a small block with Sun Ta tofu and has a few parking lots in the front. However, those are filled up pretty quickly, especially on the weekend, so you may need to park somewhere else and walk over. The place is nice with a decent number of tables, unlike the parking. We always get seated right away. The menu has a variety of options coming from different regions in Vietnam. This is the first place that I know where you can find the Banh Uot tower and Banh Tam Bi. The portion of food and veggies is generous. However, the Banh Uot tower is a little bit overpriced in my opinion because you have to order the protein separately and they come in small dishes, so prepare to pay a bit more if you want to leave with a full belly. The coffee is not bad but we come mainly for the food. Feel free to ask the servers if this is your first time and they will gladly show you how to eat those dishes.
