    Otho the broth was nice, I would not recommend this place. The meat is left out like a buffet. The raw meet was not even covered, and was drying out, you can see the meat darkening and drying out. And the chicken was no different. I ordered soup and an appetizer, and they were out of the spring rolls. I asked for tea, and they were out. And when the pho came out, it was light on the noodles (that was a plus, I like less noodles anyway) and the sprouts!! I could have counted them on one hand. Again, I did think the broth was nice and the concept of build your own Pho is a great idea.. it's hard to believe this is a chain.. someone needs to do a quality check!

    This is the veggies I received.

    Honest review. I got pho to go. Does not nearly give enough veggies. Noodle portion is very small. Meatball does not taste right. The broth is good, but overall not worth $21. Image of how much veggies they gave.

    Spring Rolls, Pork Banh Mi
    Miranda L.

    Headed over to get a quick early dinner and we ordered from the digital counter. There isn't much inside seating and the space is small so we opted for the to go option. The order came out pretty fast and they provided all the utensils we needed. Spring Rolls - Pretty decent spring rolls, it was filled with shrimp, lettuce and vermicelli mainly but the star of it was the peanut sauce. It was sweet, creamy, aromatic and had a pretty bold peanut flavor. Pork Banh Mi - It was a decent size for two people to share. The pork inside was soft and flavorful from the seasoning. I enjoyed the pickled veggies for the freshness it brought and the bun was easy to bite into, soft with a light crunch. The only downside was pricing as it was 10 dollars for two spring rolls. Though for a quick dinner, this was a great option and they also had some pho and meal combo menu items as well.

    This is the best spot to sit. Good for people watching.

    After being a guest on a radio talk show, I was craving pho and a banh mi. This is a great spot for non gmo food. Service was good considering this was a 33 item order at the time I arrived. It not having human service makes it feel a bit cold w/out this interaction. The broth of the pho is tasty and I like how it's to be healthier. The ambiance is unique and a bit tight and small. Want to try the Kirkland location to see if the restaurant feeling is better.

    I placed a pick up order and the food was hot and ready when I arrived. You are able to grab any to-go toppings or utensils needed. The restaurant is smaller, but there is some seating if u want to eat there. The Pho itself was really tasty the packaging separated the pho toppings like jalapeño, basil, and bean sprouts. The portions were fairly big and I had leftovers to eat the next day. I would recommend extra cilantro and onions when ordering pho of u enjoy like I do!

    Solid spot for a quick bite in SLU! Staff is really efficient and helpful. I got the lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowl which was pretty good! Portion size was really generous and I was stuffed after. The chicken was a little sweet for my taste but it was still pretty yummy. Vegetables were fresh and the vermicelli was great as well. Definitely recommend checking this place out for some quick and filling Vietnamese food!

    Was looking for a quick meal after visiting the Space Needle and decided on this photo spot. Parking is a bit challenging here, but ended up finding street parking after a few rounds. The shop on a corner and very small, mostly take out orders. They do have 2 small tables outside (if weather permits) and 2 small bar tables inside. Ordered on a screen and waited for staff to bring us the food. They were friendly and helpful. We ordered 2 different Phos. Food wasn't too bad, would recommend paying for extra for the fresh noodles. The broth itself was very salty, but palatable (just drink a lot of water after). Not sure if i would return, but wasn't bad.

    Vinason Pork Bahn Mi sandwich. Very little pork in the sandwich.
    Brent A.

    I've been getting Pork Bahn Mi at Vinason for years. Their sandwiches were delicious. But recently, I've noticed that every time I come here, there is less pork in the sandwich than the time before. Last night was the worst yet...there was so little pork, that it was laughable (and bear in mind, with tax and tip, this is a $15+ sandwich). See photo.

    The good: convenient location with good flavors The bad: inflated prices for food amount I got a couple of phos and grilled pork sandwich and even reviewing the food pics you can tell the amount has gone down and prices are more than doubled. I expect my bahn mi to be overflowing and there was barely any meat or filling to cover the bread... so ratio is off

    Coffee that's practically half filled

    What kinda of cheap service is this?? Picked the less ice version, but didn't know it meant less drink. Anything to save a buck I guess? At least the food is good.

    3 types of spring rolls ($8-9 each)
    Wendi K.

    I loove this chain :) This location is a pick up booth located in SLU. We ordered 3 spring rolls (normal chicken, lemongrass chicken, and steak) online. It was ready super quickly and perfectly packaged, also I love how generous they were with the peanut sauce. Only thing - they were out of banh mih when we ordered :( Maybe they ran out of bread or something.

    Sketch and not fcc the ftc just for fun. May not be illegal but highly unethical

    So the concept to start is bad. Trying to be clever with our your own beers, but that is a questionable transaction to start. The real kicker is when you return the card which is required. They have a no tip, 10% and a 20%, so whatever slot you put that card in it charges you more after already tipping at the counter. I filed an FCC report and it is gross and illegal

    I had the Lemongrass Pork Vermicelli with Fish Sauce and it was delicious. The pork was juicy and flavorful, and the greens balance out the greasiness well. I wish there was a little more of the vermicelli, but they gave a generous portion of meat and veggies. However, this bowl was $17 which was pricey, so this won't be a place I come back frequently but definitely a solid spot for viet food!

She had wanted to visit for a long time after hearing so many good things about it, so this was the perfect opportunity. The café itself is bright, modern, and absolutely adorable. It has a cozy, inviting atmosphere that makes it a great place to relax over dessert with family or friends. The menu is a dream for matcha and hojicha lovers. They offer an impressive variety of parfaits, floats, frappes, and lattes, with optional additions like mochi and red beans. It took us a while to decide because everything looked tempting. My daughter and I shared the Hojicha Mochi Parfait, while my son ordered the Hojicha Float with mochi. The parfait had a rich, authentic hojicha flavor and was generously layered with chewy mochi, crunchy cereal flakes, and creamy soft serve, giving it a wonderful mix of textures. The float was equally enjoyable, with a bold roasted hojicha flavor that wasn't overly sweet, and the mochi was a fun addition. The quality of the desserts was excellent, and while the prices are on the higher side, they reflect the quality of the ingredients and presentation. If you're a fan of matcha or hojicha, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

This is a sushi by the pound place in SLU, but they also have a menu with variety of things such as udon, inari, chirashi, etc. The selection of fish you can choose from in the weigh your sushi section is not that big. They only have 2 high premium fishes available: otoro and amberjack. However you can only get 1 of each, which to me defeats the purpose. I also got a bulgogi inari and it was $5 / piece which is pricey. Another thing is that they use a lot of rice, too much rice. Service is ok, they ring you up and bring the food to you if you ordered through the menu. It's a very relaxing and chill area as well. The food we got was just ok but for the price, it's not worth it. I'm glad I tried but most likely will not be back.
