This is a little bakery/cafe area that sells buns, banh mi, and surprisingly, some noodle soups like pho and bun bo hue. Tried both a banh mi and a bun bo hue (which I am very pleasantly surprised they had). The bun bo hue decent/hit most of the elements I wanted (they didn't have pork blood which I don't enjoy anyways so not a problem). I wasn't a real fan of the banh mi to be honest; it tasted more fusion to me than authentic (had pickled slice onions and was sliced diagonally for style), so I may stick to the downtown delis. Not a bad place to stop by when you're in a pinch though.

They would taste much better with more meat and shrimp. I usually don't pay attention to how long food takes, but the wait was long enough that I noticed it. Service was very slow even though the restaurant was not busy--only three tables were occupied. We waited about 20 minutes for the first bowl of pho, and the bowls came out at different times. By the time I received mine, my husband had already finished his. The noodles, tendon, and tripe were hard.

This is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the greater Seattle area…read more I've been going to this restaurant for 25 years. It tastes just as good and has the same wonderful quality I remember from growing up. I love their vermicelli bowls and their Vietnamese crepe the most. I also love their pho. Their broth is light and doesn't have the strong strong herbal flavor that some phos in Seattle have. Their pho is the most authentic pho I've had outside Vietnam. The owner is kind and always nice to us. I try to come here at least once a month with my mom!

We tried this on a weeknight after working hard to find parking in this horrible location. The…read moreinternational grocery next door doesn't help with that having many people hanging out in their cars and milling about. Had to be creative and go back out to properly park after ordering. I hadn't eaten here In years and my wife never. They used to give a nice refreshing lychee water drink with a long dessert spoon for the fruit which I remember loving long ago. Many other tables had them but we were never offered it as service was brisk yet not very friendly. I ordered a Dac Biet pho (my regular choice) but they don't have tripe??? I usually pass on pho restaurants that don't serve tripe and tendon. I was at best average but honestly not near the best I've ever had in the US or Vietnam. At almost $20 for a bowl I wasn't impressed enough to say "let's go back". My wife ordered the pork vermicelli bowl (her usual). She liked it ok and I tried a bit. Again pretty tasty and in my opinion a better dish than their pho, but not worthy of returning over other choices. Overall if you are comfortable parking in a tight little parking lot to eat average food in a little old building it's not a bad choice. But I would not purposefully go back even though we shop often at Costco and Home Depot nearby.

Food and drinks are great however service, atmosphere, and consistency are lacking…read more My most recent visit was Saturday 06/06/26. I hadn't been back since a previous bad experience almost a year ago now and wanted to give this place another try. Same bad service. The bad service I received almost a year ago that made me stop coming to this place was I stopped by for lunch and got a grilled pork banh mi and asked for little to no/ very light mayo or whatever spread is on it as the visit before was too much for me and wanted to avoid that... Staff wasn't friendly that day. When I was eating the sandwich instead of little to no mayo it had globs like no exaggeration a lot/too much mayo spread for me so I did tear off a piece of the bread that I couldn't get the mayo off of and tried to take off the other globs and continued eating. I did not waste food. I just wasted the globs and a small piece of bread. I bussed my own table as that seems to be un clear if you do or don't and put the trash in the trash(globs of mayo +piece of bread) and plate near the counter. A staff member exited the kitchen and walks towards the register near the trash can and she proceeded to open the trash can and keep it open, looked at me and asked how was everything. I was honest and told her I always enjoy the food however today too much mayo and she just kept peering down at my trash in the trash and then her coworker exited the kitchen to join the convo and no sorry or anything...just kept her foot on the trash to keep it open and both employees looked at the trash and looked at me rudely so I told them thank you have a nice day and was off put by the experience. They were treating me like I was wasting or complaining. It was truly so weird like why keep the trash open and almost like try to embarrass me or treat me like I did something wrong? Also why no smiles, why no empathy. I don't like mayo..big deal! I still ate that whole sandwich! Recent visit on 06/06/26. Walked in and cafe wasn't busy, but trash on the floors and dirty tables. Two women. One seemed to be in training. No smiles, no welcome in, just a frown (no joke the woman training the other I believe was frowning and she looked mad) and a what can I get you? I ordered for dine in but was given to go box and to go utensils. I have to assume they just didn't want to do the dishes as one couple had dine in plates and were actually pointing to each other the trash on the floor and discussing their meal. I ordered the pho banh mi so I wouldn't have to worry about a mayo situation tbh. Food was flavorful and good. Portions seem to be a bit smaller than what I remember. If they added actual pho to the menu I bet it would be a hit! To-go ordering seems the popular thing here and if I return is what I'll do. Just sad as this used to be my fav spot but now I've found a better place with better service and food. Drinks here and food is super tasty but wish service, cleanliness, and atmosphere could be improved! Service is important and with my past two visits I feel it's a very unwelcoming atmosphere with the staff being hostile and cold and cafe seating indoors and outdoors are dirty. For me when spending my money somewhere I don't want to be treated poorly or like I'm an inconvenience or just being tolerated. The service leaves such a bad impression that it makes me avoid this place now when I used to recommend it.

They made them fast too like within 5 min of ordering. The bread is crispy and yummy, the pork is flavorful, jalapeños spicy, and the vegetables were fresh. All and all a great sandwich. Inside seemed busy, but the atmosphere feels akin to the inside of a gas station store more than a sit down place where you'd want to stick around. It is functional though with enough tables to keep up with their steady stream of people. Overall definitely worth trying their bahn mi if you're debating it.

I've given it a try twice and it still didn't live up to my expectations the way I used to remmeber it sadly.

I recently dined at Thai Wisdom Restaurant and I must say, the experience was quite underwhelming…read more The restaurant is located in a busy area, yet it was mostly empty, which is a clear indication of the quality of service and food. The chef, who is also the sole employee, seemed overwhelmed and unable to manage the demands of the kitchen and service. The chef's lack of skill and attention to detail was evident in every dish. When I ordered a variety of dishes, they all came out either cold or not cooked all the way. The vegetables were often cold, and the meat was raw in the middle. The chef seemed to lack the knowledge and ability to cook the dishes to a standard that would satisfy a customer. The chef's lack of care was also apparent. When I sent a dish back, the chef's response was dismissive. He quickly reheated the dish, but it didn't improve the overall quality. It was as if he was just going through the motions, trying to get the food out as quickly as possible. The food that I did receive was only fair at best. The dishes were bland, the presentation was poor, and it was clear that no thought or effort was put into the cooking process. This was not a one-time incident. I've had multiple experiences at this restaurant, and each time it was the same story. The food was never cooked right, the chef didn't care about the customer's feedback, and the overall experience was just bad. It's clear that the owner needs to take a hard look at the chef and understand that he is failing on so many levels. The chef needs to be replaced by someone who has a real passion for cooking and understands the importance of customer satisfaction. Additionally, the restaurant needs to hire more staff. It's ridiculous that one person is expected to run the entire place. This lack of staff is likely contributing to the poor service and food quality. The restaurant usually gets more takeout and delivery orders than actual people dining in, which shows how poorly run the place is. It's clear that the owner doesn't seem to notice or care about the fact that this restaurant is in need of improvement. The owner needs to pay attention and make the necessary changes to ensure that customers have a good experience. The owner should also consider investing in better quality ingredients, as the current ones are not up to par. The dishes are often lacking in flavor and texture, which could be due to the ingredients used. The owner should also take the time to train the chef and the staff, as they seem to lack the necessary skills and knowledge to provide a good dining experience. The owner needs to understand that the restaurant's success is dependent on the quality of the food and the service provided. The owner needs to make significant changes if he wants to turn this place around. The restaurant has potential, but it's being wasted by a chef who doesn't care and an owner who isn't doing enough to ensure a good experience for the customers. The restaurant usually has one waiter or waitress doing all the work. This is not a sustainable model and is likely contributing to the poor service. The waiter or waitress is often seen rushing around, trying to serve multiple tables at once. This leads to a significant delay in service, which is not ideal for customers who are eager to enjoy their meal. The restaurant needs to hire more staff to ensure that customers are given the attention and service they deserve. The owner needs to understand that the restaurant's success is dependent on the quality of the food and the service provided. The owner needs to make significant changes if he wants to turn this place around. The restaurant has potential, but it's being wasted by a chef who doesn't care and an owner who isn't doing enough to ensure a good experience for the customers. In conclusion, the restaurant is in dire need of improvement. The owner needs to take action and make the necessary changes to ensure that customers have a good experience. The chef needs to be replaced, more staff needs to be hired, better ingredients need to be sourced, and the entire operation needs to be overhauled.

A great variety of viet dishes you may not be able to find elsewhere!…read more My partner and I chose this place because we were craving soup to help with the cold. We ended up choosing a place close and were not disappointed at all. This restaurant is located off a busy street but it luckily offers a parking lot which can be hard to come by in Seattle. Because we came on the earlier side, we were seated quite quickly :) The space is pretty large so I don't think I would worry about a wait on a weekday. We were very impressed by the options provided. I usually don't find Bun Bo Hue on the menu often which is what my partner ended up ordering. I ordered the Bun rieu which is even harder to come by. We also ordered the crispy butter garlic wings to share which was a perfect choice. The service was very fast and we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly our stuff came out after placing our order. The portions were also HUGE and we both had enough to take home for a second meal. The Bun rieu was super tomatoey and had a rich flavor which the crab. My mom makes Bun rieu at home and I was very much happy with this bowl too, reminded me a lot of how my mom makes it! The Bun Bo Hue was not super spicy but we appreciated being able to customize. The garlic wings were SOOOO good. So crispy and seasoned so well, we would 100% get these again they were so good. We left very full, warm, and satisfied with this pick. We likely will be back in the near future!

Fried Spring Rolls (Cha Nem Ran) 3. Fried Calamari 4. Escargot noodle soup 5. Oxtail and meatball pho Alright so let's start with #1. Crispy crunch as you bite into it. Deliciand savory. #2. It's okay, it's different, anything fried is good, nothing special though. #3. love the crispy and tenderness of the calamari, fried just right! #4. Love the flavors and everything else in this soup, a bit too oily though #5. Soup and oxtail is good. Can definitely noticed the lard or amount of oil in this pho, too much for my liking though. Overall everything was flavorful and good. Only downside is the soup base for #4 and 5. Make it less oily and it would be a banger!

We got a chicken Bahn mi and the pork & chicken bun bowl. Both were very delicious! The picture does not do the bowl justice- it was huge! Everything in the bowl was perfectly cooked and flavored. The bread on the sandwich was soft and toasted just right, and the chicken was well seasoned with a plum sauce or something. We shared both items and had a good amount left over. I have my go to Vietnamese spots already, but this is close to home, so it'll probably move to the top of the list. Definitely recommend!

Grilled chicken and pork vermicelli (5/5) It is very difficult to find a pho place where they can do both the soup noodles and vermicelli right. It's alway one or the other but this spot hits them both spectacularly. The fish sauce is light but tasty and both the chicken and pork are soooo soft and juicy. The noodle itself has a perfect bounciness and delightful to chew. The star of the show is the egg rolls. So crunchy and fresh!
