Wow hit me by surprised. I didn't expect this place to be good since it was in an airport, but it turns out amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was nice for sitting or even carry out with great service[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], The food was prepared fast but I would say it your 100 authentic Vietnamese resturant since it in an airport but the pho was so good Rib eye steak pho $23.99 5/5 - The bowl was big, me and my mom share a bowl and we were super full. The broth was full of flavor and a great amount of rib eyes steak; there was not much protien choice topping like typical pho but make sense since it in airport who have time for all that option. Fresh Limeade $7.95 4/5- So delicious but i think the price is pretty high for the size that you get but it was so good a bit too sweet would have been nice if they offer mint in it. Will defnitly come back went in seattle airport read more

For airport food, this actually wasn't bad. The shrimp spring roll was fresh even though it was pre-made in the refrigerated section. The pork banh mi came hot - the bread was good but wished the pork was a little less salty and the vegetables were more pickled. This place as well as most restaurants here don't accept PP through Chase. There was a sign for specific PP only like BOA, Citi, etc. read more

The banh mi was ok. The server was lovely and ordering was easy, but the price for the sandwich was a bit aggressive. The ambiance was surprisingly cozy for an airport restaurant. I took it to go and it was well wrapped. Would do again if I needed food but probably not going out of my way for it either. read more

Bambuza is a good choice for N terminal food at Seatac if you want to have a sit down experience without a long wait. I've been there a few times on my travels, usually during the breakfast hour, and I pretty much always get the beef pho. It's got a nice, rich broth and plenty of noodles. The thinly sliced beef is plentiful, though definitely a bit on the chewy/overcooked side. It's also a huge portion - could easily feed two people. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere here is pretty nice, with a warm feel that may or may not make you forget you're at the airport.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service isn't bad but not necessarily on the overly friendly side. And yes, they have a full bar for that favorite of airport activities: early morning cocktails. read more

I was thrilled to see this family-run Vietnamese restaurant at SeaTac and took the airport transit to go between terminals to pick up some lunch from here. I ordered a tofu banh mi and a side of egg rolls. The egg rolls were pretty standard/average, but the banh mi was fantastic! It smelled so good in the takeout bag I was handed that I couldn't wait to get back to my terminal to enjoy it pre-flight. When I unpacked my lunch, I noticed that the banh mi was quite big. Considering it was barely more expensive than at non-airport restaurants, it's a great value and wayyy better than about 95% of other U.S. airport dining options. It was totally worth transiting for, and this will be my go-to whenever I fly through SeaTac. read more

I got the ribeye steak pho and was blown away by how much I enjoyed it. The noodles were well cooked, the vegetables seemed fresh, the steak was nicely portioned, and the broth rich and flavorful. I added a packet of sriracha and it balanced out the richness of the broth perfectly. It was a bit on the pricey side (~$27 with tax and tip) but at an airport that's to be expected. Wait wasn't bad and staff were pleasant. Overall, an excellent comforting meal to round off a long day of flights. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great Ambience - about very average food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I tried a Banh Mi Sandwich - pretty bland not much going on. The bread was bit hard and the chicken felt slightly undercooked. Still edible - I think it was safe but maybe needed a cooking time of a couple of more minutes. I also got a lemonade which was a sugar bomb. Just sugar syrup. $8 for sugar syrup lol. Airport makes the place pricey - I don't recommend but if you really want to maybe try their pho. At least those looked good. read more

This used to be a favorite when they were on Priority Pass, but I don't go very often anymore. They have a line are where you can grab snacks, drinks, and other refrigerated items. This line is usually pretty long, but moves quickly. I generally get the shrimp fresh rolls here. They are pretty good and I like how self contained they are. I am gluten free, so my only other option is the noodle bowl. I like the noodle bowl, but it has a really thin sauce and is awkward to mix so it is not a good meal to bring on the plane with you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I don't love the ambiance here. It's pretty bustling, with tight booths and people constantly walking between tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I usually get some snacks (they have better options for me than the grab and go locations in N) and just take things on the plane with me. read more

Awesome bahn mi for an airport stop! We enjoyed a Vietnamese iced coffee and BBQ pork bahn mi that was very generously sized with tons of fresh veggies. Food was ready quickly and we were able to stay and do some work at their tables until our flight. Would definitely recommend for a great Vietnamese stop when in the airport. read more

Being Vietnamese myself, my gf and I wanted some healthier options before our flight from Seattle to LA, and instead of going to the Wendy's and eating junk, we got some deliciously fresh Com Tam (rice bowl) and Pho to accommodate our weary bones and bodies from the full day of traveling we had. Service was excellent, with the food coming out quick and amazingly prepared. I honestly was surprised at how well the dishes were presented and how they tasted! Certainly reminded me of home :) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was typical of an Asian restaurant - but you know, more airport-y[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I traveled all night and wanted something warm and comforting but not too heavy. The vegetarian pho really hit the spot. The broth was hot and flavorful and the pho was loaded with veggies. Really nice staff too. Can't complain! read more

Pretty good food by airport standards, and they accept Priority Pass. We got lucky and went during a brief period where they had no line, so our food was ready minutes after we ordered. Everything is packaged nicely for takeout and the portions sizes are decent. The steak was a little tough in the pho but not too bad. The lemongrass rice plate was decent as well with a nice balance of veg/meat/rice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of tables/booths and bar seating available in the restaurant itself that are fairly close to each other.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I stopped in here when at the airport to grab food quickly to go! They have a great selection of pre-made meals to grab and go. I opted for a turkey and cheese sandwich, which was honestly pretty good! Everything tasted fresh and it had a mayo packet to add. There wasn't a line and I didn't experience any delays with getting to my gate on time. The staff working the counter was really friendly and quickly tended to me. read more

Nut allergy friendly, no problems with the pho. Order to Pho: 4 Minutes Came by around 10:30AM. Order at the counter and they call names while walking your order out. Service was exceptionally fast, very suitable for an airport. Disposable utensils and a bag of garnishes was provided, clearly intended for To-Go capability. The food is definitely airport expensive. The rib eye steak pho comes with a reasonable amount of beef that is slightly tough. The noodles were also a little tough, so they probably aren't soaked enough. It's overall not a bad option for an airport spot, and it was fast enough to get in a hurry. read more

Good asian good option in N terminal. I got the Saigon Combo which is the best deal here IMHO. For $20.99 (before tax) you get a huge portion of white rice with beef and chicken and one crispy spring roll served with a decent size salad lots of fresh cucumbers and fish sauce dressing. The staff I interacted with were friendly and attentive and got my order right.

Yummy beef pho, excellent customer service, perfect for eating right after getting off the plane

Extremely friendly and efficient service. I recommend waiting for a fresh summer salad roll--I was happy with my shrimp ones. They could have been wrapped a little tighter but they were fresh and had great flavor and a good dipping sauce. The pork banh mi was sweet and spicy and herbal and fresh-- and was all around a real punchy treat and extremely filling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The actual space looked nice too so I'd definitely return.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Went around 9 pm September 13th. Went to the to go counter who told me I can seat myself in the restaurant area if I want to order food and drinks. Sat at the bar where the bartender helped several women. Bartender then left the bar and began taking orders for a long line at the to go area. She eventually came back and ignored me. Eventually the bartender noticed me and put her hand up at me telling me to wait. Soon after she came back and I ordered a blood Mary with some pot stickers. My Bloody Mary was good, she eventually came back at around 10:10 with the card reader. I asked for one more drink and she told me the bar is closed now. Didn't check prior for last call or for refills. I cashed out and asked if I was still getting my pot stickers she said she didn't charge me for pot stickers. Needless to say I got one drink for $25, poor service and no food. read more

Surprised to find legit pho in an airport. Menu is limited and all that jazz, and portion is not great. I mean, summed up, it's not up to 714 in quality, but it's pretty damned good, and even if you removed "in an airport" as a qualifier, they are still decent enough. read more

I'm surprised that the Vietnamese food at the airport is above average. The lemongrass vermicelli is very fragrant and flavorful. The portion of beef pho is huge, and the broth is rich in flavor. It's definitely better than some places in town. For a quick eat and wanting the flavor, this place hit the spot. I wouldn't say it's excellent compared to traditional places found around town but definitely not bad. read more

Good spot for a filling but healthy meal at the airport. I got the grilled pork bowl with vermicelli noodles which was tasty and had a lot of fresh vegetables. The portion size was filling as well. The Vietnamese coffee was more like a sweet vanilla latte. They have takeaway options and table and bar seating inside. The staff keep the dining area very clean. read more

I usually try to stop by here when I'm at the airport with my priority pass. This review is solely based on the food quality and does not include cost. Food quality is above average compared to the average Vietnamese pho restaurant. Chicken grill bowl was a large portion with a good amount of food and the sauce was great on top of the veggies and rice. Banh mi is good, but chicken bowl is probably best bang for buck if you're paying for it. Service is quick - you can't sit at the bar counter if you aren't ordering alcohol. There are booths for 2, booths for 4, and tables. read more

One of my favorite places at SeaTac, and boy do I miss it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the line was almost always long, and the place almost always crowded (i.e. difficult to find a seat), the food was always on point and the priority pass free credit couldn't be beat![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My go-to was a cold noodle bowl and my wife would get the bahn mi--eat half of it at the terminal and save the other half for the flight. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We could always count on Bambuza to leave us stuffed and satisfied, wishing that we could stay and enjoy the lively atmosphere instead of boarding our flight.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But alas! They no longer take priority pass credit :( Hopefully one day, I can come back (and pay real money) and see if things have changed yet. read more

This review is a 3.5, rounded to 4 stars, primarily because it's an airport restaurant. SERVICE The staff were friendly and surprisingly very efficient. My SO and I placed our order and were given a number for dine-in. AMBIANCE This is an airport restaurant, but it has spacious seating, and the decor is welcoming and cozy. FOOD I'd say it's overpriced for Vietnamese food, but some prices are comparable to the Bay Area, CA. -Crispy Spring Rolls: This appetizer had three rolls and a sweet chili dipping sauce. The egg rolls were good. Best I ever had? Probably not. The crunch factor was present, and the filling was decent. -Banh Mi Chicken: We ordered two of these sandwiches. The chicken, the main protein, was overcooked and slightly dry. It tasted like a sweet soy marinade, subtle. I enjoy more of a lemongrass marinade but to each its own. Vietnamese flavor profiles vary based on the cook's/owner's regional background. However, the baguette was delicious. Crispy and a slight chewy center. The toppings were fresh and abundant. It consisted of pickled carrots, large slices of cucumbers, jalapeños and cilantro. Overall, I'm happy to see more variety in an airport, especially Vietnamese cuisine. It's a solid restaurant to grab a quick bite. The menu is impressive for an airport restaurant. They serve bowls (rice or vermicelli), pho, and banh mi sandwiches. They even serve Vietnamese iced coffee! read more

For a pho place inside the SEA-TAC airport, the beef pho was surprisingly very good. The broth was well seasoned and good amount of meat. Although priced at $20, it's in the airport so prices are bit higher. But For anyone looking to warm their soul and stomach before boarding your next flight, this is a spot you may want to try. It's located in Terminal N across N10. Let me know what you think? read more

Had Bambuza on the way to Oregon and liked it enough to come back during my return flight layover! The first time I got the pork noodle bowl which was tasty and had a significant serving of meat included. This second time I got the beef pho and it far surpassed my expectations for airport pho. The pho was genuinely some of my favorite in recent history and came in a large serving. Both visits included service that was friendly, fast and clean. read more

Just okay spring rolls to go. The peanut sauce was good and the lettuce and basil were fresh. However, it was heavy on the vermicelli noodles and short on shrimp. It was also overpriced ($13 for one roll). However, it was fast and I made my gate on time. read more

Was surprised at how good the food was and the portion was meal sized. High airport prices on par with Seattle. Quick service, not a lot of space for waiting. There's an area that I believe was for priority pass members (possible freebies?) and table service. There's a small bar so you can order food and drinks. There's a small to go refrigerator section that includes the usuals as well as Asian to go - seaweed salad, bao, and some salads bahn mi and drinks for your flight out. Got the grilled chicken noodle bowl and the noodles were hearty, filling, sauce was tasty and fresh, and the chicken was truly grilled and a whole chicken breast cut up. I recommend if flying Alaska and in the B gate terminal. read more

Honestly I think there's no better place in SeaTac for a quick and delicious meal. Bahn mi's pack well to go, the pho broth is great. A little salty. Spring rolls are a little dry. But hey it's airport food and Bambuza is a lot lighter than a lot of greasy heavy food you'll find at SeaTac. Staff is fast and friendly and if you eat there, nice respite from the busy terminal. read more

Located in the Seattle airport, this was a nice stop for boba and a snack. The bbq pork bun was not what I expected. It tasted like a fluffy Hawaiian roll instead of the usual white buns.
