I was not expecting the banh mi to taste so good! I work nearby and wanted to pick up something for…read morelunch, so I placed a takeout order shortly after they opened around 10:00. Figured I could save the banh mi for later and it would still taste fresh. It took a few minutes for them to complete my order, after my arrival, so I didn't have enough interaction to comment on the customer service. But the inside of the restaurant seemed like a quaint and cozy space to wait. They have a kiosk you can order from in person, too. They didn't ask for my name or anything when I told them that I have a pick up order but thankfully, they handed me the correct banh mi ( a grilled pork with no cucumbers ). I was not able to enjoy the banh mi until a few hours later, but I was impressed with the quality! Tasted authentic and exactly what I expected for a vietnamese banh mi. The bread was not too crunchy so it was easy to bite into, but it was just crispy enough to add some texture. Portions were satisfactory and the entire banh mi was filling. It costs a little more than some banh mi I've had but I get it, Seattle isn't cheap. The price is actually fair compared to other food in Seattle. Reminds me of the banh mi I've enjoyed from Duc Huong in Sacramento, I would love to try the other banh mi options here sometime again when I get the chance!

I found this place one day when I took a different walking route to my office one morning. I've…read moreadded it to my lunch rotations now. I've been there twice since and tried the classic banh mi (deli cold cuts) and the beef pho. Both were good and decently priced for the location. The inside is nice, clean and bright. They have an ordering kiosk or you can order from the staff. I recommend preordering online if you're going around lunch as they get busy. Everything is most mostly self service once you get your food. I recommended the place to my coworker. This person is Caucasian and asked two questions. What kind of people went there and are the people behind the counter white? Interesting questions... so mostly Asian and Asian... if that matters to anyone. *Just realized they have multiple locations and I to went to the one on 6th. My review still holds here for the food.

The egg bread is so unique, if you haven't tried it I highly recommend. Pro tip: get a flight and share with friends because they are so filling! Don't sleep on the sweet corn and cheese. The egg bread isn't the only star here, however. The egg salad sandwiches are all to die for. You can't go wrong with the regular, but they have a variation to suit every craving. I'm a fan. Drinks are always on point, and the staff are super friendly. Plus, the owner has also been hosting some really great pop ups with other local businesses, which I love to see! If this place isn't already on your radar, it needs to be.

It was a little dry at first, although once I got to the egg part in the middle, it was much better. Either the bread needs a sauce or a spread, but because the bread is so thick and fluffy, it comes off kind of dry.

Ambiance - some seating inside, and a few tables outside. Since there isn't much seating, not really a chill for a long time kind of spot. not mad at that.

That is an interesting story because, in my opinion , it is two businesses in one space. I was very…read moreconfused when I looked at the reviews. When I arrived, it seemed to make sense. My husband and I were staying in a hotel nearby, and it was convenient to walk to. I thought we might get turned away because it was 20-30 minutes before closing, and to our surprise, my husband and I were quickly seated. I wanted to try a Vietnamese plant based coffee drink, but the waiter explained that it was really strong, so I thought it best not to try caffeine late in the evening. I ordered from the vegan menu, and my husband ordered from the other menu. Vegan side has a separate menu and ordering area for to go orders, but when eating in, you have the option of both menus (restaurants). As a result of two restaurants in the same space, there's reviews for both places which makes it confusing. Service was good. Food came out fairly quickly. I had the tamarind vegan soup, and my husband had the non-vegan tamarind soup. The food was good. Are you confused yet? Keep along, :) it's a plant based restaurant and a non-plant based restaurant sharing the same space, but each has a different kitchen for preparation, ordering, and cooking. The plant based is mostly takeout as there's a takeout spot for that, but when dining in, you can order from either menu. This review covers both places.

I tried the Singapore noodles, while they were a bit bland on their own, the hot sauce they provided helped adjust the spice level, making it a decent dish overall. The only downside is the seating, regular dining tables have stools without back support, which can be uncomfortable. Interestingly, the bar seating is more comfortable, with chairs that have proper back support. Great service. Overall, a good neighbourhood spot worth checking out.

Service was 10/10, the lady was patient and helpful. I felt bad because I thought the restaurant was open until 9pm but it closed at 8pm, I think the times on yelp are outdated. The barista didn't even say anything, which was so sweet, I kept studying until I realized at 8:30pm that I was the only one there :D The lady was so nice for letting me stay late while she was closing up. I will definitely be back!

Eh Stopped by on a whim…read more They have a great selection of drinks and food. I only got a matcha, I was coming and going so it seemed fitting. The quality was exquisite, very earthy and delicious. Not too much ice as well. The only thing I didn't like was the syrup. I dont think they make it in house, it tasted similar to the premade pumps that they use i Starbucks. Brought down the quality if im being honest. Considering I paid 9 bucks too, I was a bit dissapointed. Service was amazing. Staff were friendly, welcoming. She they even complimented me :) Wouldn't come back

I was really vacillating between 4 and 5 stars here since my final rating for this place is 4.5/5…read more I'm choosing to rate this 5 stars at the end because of high potential, great staff and hearty food! This indoor restaurant is close to the streets of Rainier Ave and there is unmarked parking all along S Grand St you can utilize, but it can be nearly full like on the Saturday noon around 12:30pm I came here with parents. It is in the same building as the Melody Jabooda Apartments, and is pretty compact inside. There's several small tables inside than can fit a max of 3 people, yet the interior muffles the bulk of the noisy traffic on Rainier Ave. There's some decor on the walls and near the counter where the kitchen is, and the counter to order is almost directly in front of the entrance. Phone reception inside was iffy, as I had to go outside the building to check into here on the Yelp app. Seating was full, mostly from patrons ordering and taking their goods to go but with some actually dining in. For a place that serves banh mi, they also have pho, bun, Vietnamese coffee, lattes and matcha drinks. Several of the drinks are also available in hot formats, and all drinks cost the same except for Vietnamese coffee and lattes which cost $1.95 and $1 less before tax, respectively. There are different price tags for the hot drinks. Banh mi sandwiches also come in bags that look like they could be used for roasted coffee beans - they're dark brown and are about the same size as store-bought coffee bean bags. What a coincidence given they also serve coffee! We got many things from here: - Old school Vietnamese coffee ($7, hot): according to my dad (and me after having several sips), this unfortunately tasted more like American coffee; it was missing sweetened condensed milk to make it more like so, and the coffee itself wasn't strong. It seems regular milk was used as the sweetener instead. - Oolong house blend ($8.95): your standard milk tea. I added both grass jelly and tapioca onto this. Mom liked this and had no complaints; I had a sip and thought it was pretty good too. - Grilled pork banh mi sandwich ($9.95, medium toast): I partially shared this one with my mom. Grilled pork is all right at best, otherwise it has all the works of a great banh mi. We'd still prefer the one from Q Bakery for now. - Butterfly matcha: the butterfly pea flower in this drink created a blue hue inside the drink in its own layer and essentially enhanced the ceremonial matcha taste a lot more, since it tasted more woody and earthier than usual once I mixed everything. It's also sweet enough to satisfy any matcha lover out there. I loved this drink a lot and would highly recommend! - House special banh mi sandwich ($10.95, medium toast): this sandwich is much larger than I expected, and comes with Vietnamese ham, pork ham, pate, jalapeños and what looked like Chinese sausage along with the same works as the grilled pork. Everything went well together and it was loaded! All meats were fresh and just this sandwich alone made me really full. Another high recommend! I really appreciated the staff for asking all the clarifying questions for our banh mi sandwiches and drinks, like how toasted we wanted our sandwiches, the sweetness and ice levels of our drinks, and toppings for those drinks. They also let me and other patrons in line know of wait times for our food, with my order being quoted about 15 minutes and coming out by that timeframe. This place has been open since September of last year, and they have a decked out menu for anyone wanting to grab both food and drink. I'm definitely coming back to try their other drinks and sandwiches!

We tried the bánh mì, crispy fries, and a brown sugar boba, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The menu offers a nice variety of Vietnamese comfort food, along with burgers, drinks, and other café favorites, so there's something for just about everyone. What I enjoyed most was the atmosphere. It's comfortable without being overly busy or formal, making it a great place to catch up with friends, enjoy a quiet meal, or simply relax for a while. If you're exploring Beacon Hill or live nearby, Cloud Cafe is definitely worth adding to your list. We had a great experience and look forward to coming back to try more of the menu.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: I walked here from a friend's place and was excited to try their pork vermicelli bowl because the reviews said they were great. The Cafe is situated on the corner of Beacon ave and lander in this baby blue color theme. For food, we got the pork vermicelli and the chicken banh mi. To be honest, the chicken banh mi was underwhelming with shredded bland chicken and very soft bread. The vermicelli bowl was better with all the sauces but even then the flavors were lackluster. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall we spent around $21 for the two dishes. It was alright and I dont know if I would come back to try more of their items. Maybe their drinks?

Overall: 3 stars…read more Intriguing hotpot place with both personal and full sized hotpots. The concept is interesting, but I think I picked a soup where the execution did not mirror what I expected. Tom Kha Hotpot - I was incredibly excited for this broth given the description and found the flavor to be unfortunately off balance from the profile I'm used to. At minimal, the soup is missing the intensity of the common palm sugar sweetener and spice of the galangal. The soup was very acidic and saline forward as a result, and did not flavor the ingredient choices as harmoniously as I would've liked. One example that one piece of chicken breast was the size of chicken tender, which is too large to faithfully absorb the broth.
