Love the location of this place in Chophouse Row! We came on a Friday night around 8 pm and there were a couple tables open so we were quick to get seated. We ordered wings, the Bo Ne, and the pork chop plate. We wanted to try the chicken wings bc of the passionfruit sauce which gave a tangy flavor which I sadly wasn't really into. The chicken was a little bit on the dry side too so I wouldn't order this again The Bo Ne was a 4/5. The pate and egg with the bread was the best part; steak was a bit too well done but flavor was good! Would get this only if you like pate :) The rice and pork chops, I would recommend bc the meat was 5/5. I'll prob try one of the pho's next time! Service was amazing with everyone being really sweet and recommending various things on the menu. The atmosphere is really nice with cool lighting and a laid back feel, would def come back just for the vibe and some drinks. read more

Xóm - Bò né - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Loved everything about this place: service, food, ambiance, and drinks. The location and ambiance were what drew me in, but the drinks, food and service are what make me want to come back. We ordered the Bò Né, Calamari, Pho, Bun Thit Nuong and Cuttlefish was on the house! The portion here is great and pricing is really reasonable. My friend tried the 1, 2, 3 Dzo (Cheers) cocktail and it was really good, definitely recommend. read more

We ordered the Banh Hoi platter to go- it was so delicious! We will definitely go back again!

Staff were very attentive and checked in on our table throughout our meal. They were very accommodating and friendly. Decor is amazing and does well to create an experience. Drink wise, my friend and I ordered the Halong Bay and Dear Violet. Both drinks were very pretty and the alcohol amount was generous. Food wise: - Muc Chien (fried calamari with salted egg yolk aioli): perfectly battered and fried. The sauce was amazing, I appreciate that the sauce was at the bottom, it prevented from the calamari to go soggy. - Canh Ga Chang Day (fried chicken wings w/ passion fruit sauce): reminded me of Canh Ga Chien Nuoc Mam (fried chicken wings w/ fish sauce) but without the umami and slight spice. The wing sauce at Xom was more reminiscent of a sweet and sour sauce. - Bun Thit Nuong (grilled pork, vermicelli, egg roll, veggies/herbs): very tasty but not outstanding, presentation was beautiful! The nuoc mam (fish suace) that went along with this dish was sweeter than I typically like it. - Xom Supreme (prime oxtail pho): 0/10, noodles were absolutely mush. I've never ever sent back a dish AND ask for an item to be taken off my bill before this dish. Their small plates are generous in quantity. I would maybe visit here again for cocktails, small plates, and to try their Bo Ne if in the area. I hope they troubleshoot a bit more, because the staff and ambiance is lovely. read more

We were excited to try Xom but left disappointed. After placing our order almost immediately upon arrival, we waited nearly 50 minutes with no food. When we finally asked our server if it would be ready soon -- since we were short on time -- they said it would take another 5-10 minutes. Thankfully, the food came out within 5 minutes after that, but by then, the experience had already soured. Unfortunately, the food itself was on the salty side and didn't quite make up for the long wait. The staff was polite, and they did offer us 15% off, which we appreciated. But overall the service was too slow and the food just average. Not sure we'll be back. read more

I was kind of hoping for a Vietnamese restaurant that specialized in something else besides pho (we have tons of great pho places in Seattle). Maybe something like Banh Hoi with different grilled meats or crepe or something that makes it different from your typical place. I ended up getting the oxtail and while the broth was good they asked if I wanted thin or wide noodle and I got the wide since it isn't typical. It just falls apart and so hard to eat, also if you're going to have pho on the menu at least provide the correct spoon, a normal metal spoon is hard to pick up the noodles and broth. We got the wings to share and there was something off about it (either needed more fish sauce) but just tasted too sweet and honestly had better wings at other viet spots. The drinks are great and strong. Service was good but the food? Mid read more

Delicious new Vietnamese spot tucked into an ambient and aesthetic area of Chophouse Row. Service was quick and attentive. We got the bò né which had a good serving of pate and tender steak. The supreme oxtail pho was delicious, highly recommend getting the wider noodles. Definitely look forward to coming back and trying other dishes! read more

Decided to try this Vietnamese restaurant on Capitol Hill for lunch with the family. When we arrived at noon when they opened we were told all the tables were reserved and only bar seats were open, luckily my kids were over 21. Decided to try the small plates and ordered the chicken wings, cuttlefish fish , pork belly . We also ordered the mango shrimp salad, pho, bo ne, and com tam with pork chops. For drinks we had the Vietnamese cafe su da, and bac xiu cafe latte. Everything tasted authentic and the customer service was fast and friendly. Street parking in Capitol Hill is as expected but we found parking around the corner. The restaurant was in a cute alleyway along with some cute shops and a Bicycle & Cafe shop at the end of the alley. The restaurant also had a beautiful bar. read more

Place is cozy and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The bartender was pretty good cocktail was good. I order Bun Bo Hue and the Bahn Plan. The soup lacking some flavor but not bad same as the plan. read more

I did enjoy this place. I would say the vibes are correct, and the service was spectacular. The Viet Coffee was perfect. The only thing I would say is that the bowl of pho was not that great. Okay, maybe I just wanted a bowl of soup that would warm me up and make me want more of it. Or maybe I was just hung over, wanted soup and maybe could have tried other stuff on their menu instead. I don't know but that basic bowl of soup with thick noodles was just not hitting for me. Granted it was presented extremely well. Each person had their own plate of veggies, filled with a lot of gia (bean sprouts), chanh (lemon wedges) and ngo gai (basil), and tons of seafood sauce & spicy sauce. That for sure was a win for me! At the end though, maybe I should have just gone with my gut and ordered the Bun Ga Nuong or the Com Tam instead. Dammit, I really wanted this place to me on point for me. I will for sure rave about their Viet Coffee though. That was a perfectly dark and strong viet coffee for the morning. And I should have ordered another one for take out after that. I will be coming back for sure to try it again with other menu items with friends. Do not worry. An update review will be coming soon. read more

As a Viet, I think the food and drinks is alright and the staff is quite accommodating but service is slow. Their appetizer seems to be more appealing and better taste than the entrees. read more

Tried this place out on a Sunday night with 4 friends and had a great experience! Honestly loved that they marked the menu with wasn't available. Why don't more places do this? We ordered the wings, banh mi and Bo ne and a bowl of pho broth. They were all delicious, including the mocktails! The service was great too! I can't wait to go back. read more

Such a great place. The staff is so kind and the food is delectable. The salted egg yolk calamari is a MUST. It gets busy but it's worth the wait. We loved our server and bartender. The lychee martini is also necessary! read more

I came into Xom with a friend on a Friday night and we were surprisingly seated immediately. However, it did take us about 30 minutes to find parking in Capitol Hill (street parking). The restaurant itself was very nice and located in Chophouse Row. There were a couple of tables, as well as two areas of bar seating. It was very aesthetic and gave an elevated experience. We ordered the Bun Thit Nuong and the Bun Ga Nuong, which both came out to be $18 each. The server did take a little bit to take our order, but they seemed to be pretty busy that night. We waited around 30 minutes (potentially even more) for our food to come out, which was a bit disappointing, but understandable considering they just opened in early November and are most likely working out the kinks in communication. The Bun Ga came out first, but it took another 15-20 minutes for the Bun Thit Nuong to come out, because they had brought our order to another table. Knowing there was a mix-up, the server came by and checked in constantly to apologize and provided us with the cuttlefish appetizer. The cuttlefish appetizer was my favorite thing of the night - it was very well flavored and grilled to perfection. The side sauce was very good as well, but super spicy! As for the bun thit nuong and the bun ga nuong, I thought that it was average and nothing stood out to me. The meat was well flavored in my bun thit nuong, however, I think the dish could have used more nuoc cham on the side. After eating, the owner followed up with us and asked for feedback, which I found to be very admirable. He apologized for the long wait and told us his inspiration behind the restaurant. Although I thought the food was only okay, I hope to return in the future to give this spot another chance and see the improvements! Xom is a small business and has so much potential to grow! :) read more

We brought our mom here for Mother's Day. She loves sea food so we were excited to come here after I saw an Instagram reel recommending Xom. Unfortunately, none of us enjoyed our food as it was very bland and un-flavorful. Drinks were also watered down. We also ordered the seafood tower (apparently a popular order) and it was just so totally underwhelming. Service was mehh... We came at a non-busy hour so I'm unsure why our waitress took forever to come check in our table for drink refills or for any other requests. She also forgot to log in my order when we first ordered so my food was delayed. By the time she finally brought it, the whole table had already eaten & was ready to go. Bill came out to around $366+ for a few orders.... Overpriced for sure. So disappointed with food influencers hyping places up just for the views, smh... never again! read more

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and we had an incredible time! The staff and service here is super friendly, and the food came out fast. I was able to get a reservation ahead of time and they were super understanding that we were running a little late! Xom is located right at the street-side of Chophouse Row and has a super vibrant interior. I would recommend coming here for some delicious drinks and small bites to eat. Our favorite dishes that we got were the calamari, bun thit nuong, and thai tea kem. Flavors were super authentic but I did find the portions to be a little small given the price. The cocktails were also delicious (and strong!). Favorites were the dragon mule and ha long bay. Looking forward to coming back after the offical grand opening and seeing what dishes they add to their menu! read more

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I have a few things to say about this place. I recently went here not too long ago, when it first opened actually back in November. I went here with some family, and adored it! The ambience was beautiful, music at a low volume, fantastic servers, good food. However, after a second trip, I am NOT pleased with the service here. A friend and I were strolling along capitol hill, and she was in desperate need of a place, and so I suggested Xom. Arriving there, we enter in and I see a person come, and I forward closer and we ask for a table of two. This person, whom I believe to be a woman, was EXTREMELY hostile and rude. They, in a very aggressive tone told us to wait and back up to the door??? To which we complied, they then angrily asked if we had reservations. During this time being, I did not know if this was a reservation only place--it wasn't. I replied, "I didn't know you guys only took reservations only, I'm sorry." Keep in mind, I in no way intended to be rude or needy when asking for a table of two, there's not a host stand or anything when walking into the restaurant from either entrance. Working as a host in the past, I just assumed the next best option would be to ask any employee. I felt as though this aggressive hostile response was so unnecessary, and my friend was too also taken aback by it frankly. They then did a huff and puff while flipping through their reservation book after my previous response, which at that point we should've just walked out at this point. This is in no way how you should be acting towards customers, also, please keep in mind, there was not a SINGLE person in this restaurant either. It was dead. I understand the stress of a busy day and dealing with annoying customers, but... there was nobody AT all, and only a single chef working in FOH. Afterwards, they sat us down at a 6 top, (???) when it was just the two of us? I mean, not a big issue, but generally, I think it's to be assumed that a party of two would prefer a smaller more intimate setting? There were plenty of two-three small seated tables next to us... again, not a big issue, but when I left to use the restroom, my friend asked if we could be moved to the table next by or to a smaller one if possible. The person responded no, there would be people coming in soon... As if we aren't customers? Fast forward, about 40 mins in (we were sitting and chatting for a while) not a single customer had come in still. Those said small tables are not filled. Very upset and annoyed by that. This was last Saturday afternoon on a very busy day in Seattle, so I get if there were reservations, but absolutely no one came. Throughout eating, (meal was decently good, priced averagely for Seattle), service was mediocre after the first interaction, they became less hostile. All in all, I will NOT be returning back here. Left such a bitter taste in my mouth, me and my friend genuinely were so uncomfortable after the first encounter with this person. They appeared to be in their late twenties to early thirties, with short hair. I am not sure if this person was having a bad day, but it isn't an acceptable excuse to treat customers like that when you have 0 prior to them. Really unhappy about this experience which is disappointing considering I had simply fantastic servers last time. read more

Xóm - Bún bò Huê - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Walking into Xóm feels like stepping into a different world; the rustic interiors of wood, steel, and concrete create a laid-back yet chic atmosphere reminiscent of the alleys in Vietnam. It's a nice, quiet spot at the start of Chophouse Row, which is a tucked away area that I quite like. The food is genuinely impressive. Xóm stands apart from many Vietnamese eateries in the city by offering unique dishes that you don't often find elsewhere. While they serve traditional pho, they also take pride in elevating and introducing less common dishes, creating a delightful balance between familiar and novel flavors. Their approach to presentation is equally commendable, with dishes bursting with color and playfulness. Every item served is not just delicious but also aesthetically pleasing. Xóm's commitment to real, authentic, and innovative Vietnamese food and its dedication to making everyone feel like part of the neighborhood is an experience that every food lover in the city should try. read more

Xóm - meaning a small community, neighborhood, is the perfect name for the restaurant's location . I came for a quick to-go lunch and the staff was so friendly and sweet. They had an interesting menu and cute set up so I'd love to have my lunch there next time. Being Viet, for me the Cơm Tấm has a mild Vietnamese flavor. I do appreciate the components of the dish, especially bì, shredded pork skins! read more

Really good! I'm not sure if they're only 'by reservation' but we were able to get seated within a minute lol. My partner and I got their passion fruit and lychee drinks. Also got a Vermicelli bowl and Lemongrass chili tofu between my partner and I. Pretty filling for two of us! Kind of pricy but I think it was a good stop by for the night. Fast services and friendly staff. Definitely stopping by again in the future. read more

We ordered one oxtail pho and one vegetable pho, I highly recommend oxtail broth, it was beautiful and the meat was tender. Veggie broth however was not very complex but the vegetarian ham was amazing. I would have rated them 5 stars but deducting one since vegetarian pho was not the greatest. read more

The most delicious mocktail I've yet to have! For those with a sweet tooth, order the One Fine Day mocktail. This is my third time at Xóm. The service has been excellent on every occasion. Prices are definitely on the higher end for a Vietnamese spot in Seattle, although commonplace in the Cap Hill neighborhood. Still, I found myself back at the restaurant, curious about their new menu. I tried the bún dâu hũ (deep fried tofu and oyster mushroom vermicelli bowl) on this visit. Definitely not my favorite as the presentation was beautiful but confusing to approach eating. I was presented with a knife, presumably to cut the leafy greens, but I would've preferred them shredded before serving. For vegans and the vegan-curious, I recommend their bún huế chay instead. I keep coming back mostly because there aren't a lot of choices for good vegan Vietnamese food on the hill. read more

The food and services were good; however, both my girlfriend and I fell ill almost immediately after dining, experiencing stomachaches and diarrhea. I don't know whether the issue stemmed from the coffee (we ordered different dishes but the same type of coffee) or if we consumed it incorrectly (possibly Vietnamese ice milk coffee isn't recommended on empty stomachs). If there is a next time, I will skip the coffee and go straight for the food. Anyway it was a date to remember. read more

Overpriced inauthentic Vietnamese food made to get white customers. As a Vietnamese I'd not come back.

This was one of the strangest experiences I have had in a restaurant in quite sometime. I want to preface this with the fact that I have worked in many restaurants and have dealt with all kinds of service but for some reason this really went badly. The place had a super nice atmosphere and we were seated right away, initially the host was very nice, when the waiter came to take our order I asked a very simple question, I asked if (and said it was okay if it was not possible!) to replace the animal protein with tofu (tofu was on the menu in multiple locations). I also asked if the protein was mixed in or on top, they said it was just on top (thinking that would be a simple fix). The waiter went to get the host who came back and began to argue with me immediately - I guess more like gently berating me? They insisted that the dish below the one that I had asked about was exactly the same (it really was NOT) and that it was, "$2.00 less, I'm trying to save you money." really weird! That I had asked the waiter for no mushrooms (I had NOT asked for this), that soy vinaigrette was the same as nuac chom (it is NOT) and a myraid of other weird accusations. I was deeply confused, as I had asked a simple yes or no question and somehow I was under attack? My teenage daughter was at the table and was equally perplexed and was uncomfortable as the host was looking to her to confirm that her mother was wrong? Truly bizarre, just say no, tofu is not possible and move on? That was really the only question I asked. After all of that and despite being very hungry my daughter decided not to order any dish other than the mango salad (which was actually really bad, thick and overly sweet with no other noteable flavors. My son ordered something with pork belly and seemed to like it ok - he loves food and has since he was a baby and said it all was "okay but nothing special". I am still stunned by the customer service as I have always taught my kids to treat everyone in restaurants kindly and overtip when possible (yes I still tipped but only 20%). Honestly even if the host had been kinder I don't think we would go back, nothing special. read more

Food is excellent and the servers are very friendly. The place is reminded me the local street food in my "xóm". Strongly recommend!

Good food good price good ambiance. I am very impressed by this place and would happily recommend. Little pricey tho

EXTREMELY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE . We came in at 4pm at opening on Saturday (2 adults and 2 kids), since we were the first customers there, I asked a male staff if we can seat at the table and he said "yes. Sure". As we were sitting down , this lady with short hair charged to our table and yelled/ extremely RUDE tone "Why are u sitting here ? You're not supposed to sit here! This table is reserved! " then I calmly tried to explain to her that the staff allowed me to sit , as I was in the middle of explaining that she YELLED AT US again "YOU'RE supposed to come talk to me !". In my head I wanted to really snap back at her and say "why the hell are you yelling at your customers (only customers) ?" But I held back because there were kids present. How on earth is a customer supposed to know who she is and to come speak to her just to get seated. For sure we will never come back! Big lady, short hair, EXTREMELY RUDE. Nastiest customer service ever !!!!!!!!! read more
