    Pretty good pho especially on a Christmas Day. Largest spring rolls I've seen at a place. But maybe cause there was a lot of lettuce sticking out. Service was nice and fast. The interior was clean. Good spot for a cold day.

    It was hard to find a spot nearby that would be open on Christmas and lucky this restaurant was open. The service was I very friendly, we got a table for two right the way, and food arrived quick. We got some fresh rolls, which were really huge. I really liked the dipping sauce, seems like they put some picked radish and carrots as toppings in addition to peanuts. Also they give you 4 pieces of rolls, whole most places, in my experience, only give you 2 ([insert mind-blown guy meme]) The pho was delicious but, I thought, could be a little bit more fatty. The position was huge and perfect to split between two people. The vibe seemed very casual and relaxed, many people seem to be there with families or on a date.

    Lemongrass Tofu Rice Plate

    The food and flavor of this place is nice but the service really sucks thus the low stars. First off, we were seated right by the bathroom which was not appealing watching people pass us each time they had to use the bathroom. This is not contributing to the low rating but it should tell you we were furthest from the kitchen and maybe contributed to also being ignored. It took a bit to order our food or getting water. When they seated us they brought the cups and chopsticks with napkins but no carafe of water. The people who were seated next to us and after got their water with their cups, chopsticks, and napkins. When we did order I asked if we could get some water and they brought it with our drink order. Our food came and like I said I really like their food but once our food was dropped off we got very little attention. One of us wanted chili sauce so we did get that. Trying to get their attention was really hard. We needed more water and our carafe was empty but it too much effort to get their attention. I also wanted to order dessert so I just walked over to the kitchen and asked them for both. We finished most of our food and our table of dishes could have been removed and I thought surely they would remove before before the dessert came. Nope. The guy who dropped off the dessert took some of the dirty plate he could carry but left the others and didn't bother coming back to remove. So we ate our dessert with rest of dirty plates. See pics. Then we had to get the check and again felt a bit of effort to get. They brought it and I went to front to pay. I don't know if that was process or not but I was not gonna wait for them to bring me the pos system too. I remember coming here before and it was not like this. This experience has left a bad feeling and I won't be going back. Rest of my party agreed. There are other better service and just as good food Vietnamese places without this experience.

    Grilled Lemongrass Pork Chop Rice Plate

    SO SO GOOD! I'm in town for work and wanted something to cure my homesickness. I saw that COBA was a short walk from my hotel and decided to check it out. There was a wait on a Tuesday night but since I was a solo diner, I was able to sit at the bar right away. Ordered the lemon grass pork chop rice plate after asking my server for recommendations and it was DELICIOUS. I finished the whole thing even though I was stuffed!

    Bun bo hue

    A good spot for Vietnamese food if you are making a trip to Seattle Center. I got the bun bo hue. It is not the best bun bo hue I have had but it was still pretty good. The ambience was pretty cool! The ambience was nice as well!

    The food is extremely fast, the service is great, and it's a fun place to enjoy some decent food! For what it is, I think it's a bit pricey, but I guess everything is now. We ordered several different things to try a variety. Probably my least favorite was the sampler, especially for $30. Maybe $20 and I wouldn't have thought so negative. It was fine, but just not that great. We wanted to try their fresh rolls and of course peanut sauce. The sauce was kind of runny and needed some fish sauce/more umami. I had never had Curry and Vietnamese place and did really enjoy the Chicken Ca Ri, which was also enough to have half for lunch the next day. Definitely give it a try if you are in the area.

    Bun bo hue

    Decent Vietnamese spot near Seattle Center and makes for a good dinner spot before a show/concert/game. They have happy hour only on Monday through Thursday. On my first visit, we tried the banh khot, bun bo hue (recommended by the server), and chicken vermicelli bowl. Banh khot was delicious and definitely something I'd get again. Bun bu hue hit all the right notes flavor wise and appreciated that they provide banana blossoms on the side. Just gave it more authenticity. It was missing pork trotter and pork blood though. Service was good when it wasn't busy. Once the restaurant filled up, servers weren't as attentive but not a big deal since we weren't in a rush.

    Grilled beef short ribs rice plate
    Vinh M.

    I spontaneously came here with a friend on a Saturday night around 8pm after Panda Fest the same day, and after finding out that the nearby Woo Bar was booked for an event. The place inside is quite fancy with the lights and decor, and the pictures of their food on their website also seem fancy as well. There is a QR code you use to look at their menu, which doesn't have pictures of the food itself. It took us a little bit to flag down a sever to take our order but this didn't detract from my experience here. As I usually do for most Vietnamese restaurants I go to the first time, I got their grilled beef short ribs rice plate. This also came with broken rice, and not every place I go to does this so I was happy in this case. Beef is flavored well without being overly done, and isn't hard to chew either. The provided soup was a great refresher, though I was surprised that their julienned carrots were also kimchi flavored. Overall, nothing too special about what I had here, since grilled beef short ribs is standard and it didn't quite stand out to me. My visit did set a pretty good baseline if I were to come back here and try some of their other dishes whenever I'm around the area, which isn't likely.

    Went to a friend's graduation on Monday, and our whole group ended up going to CÔBA as a celebratory late lunch/early dinner, linner? Anyways, our group was pretty big, about 10 people total. Wait was long but understandable for our size, and the fact many other people came here after the graduation ceremony down the street. Server was funny in a teasing kind of way, but made sure he got all our orders rights. I ordered the Cơm Sườn Bò / Grilled Short Ribs Rice Plate. It's one of my top 3 favourite Vietnamese dishes, so I'm very particular about it. The beef ribs were tasty and cooked the way I liked it. But the rice that came with it was, let's just say interesting. Most cơm tấm dishes use a long-grain rice, but this restaurant decided to use a very short-grain rice that almost resembled sushi rice. It's not bad, but I'm a big texture guy, so I thought it didn't work well with the whole plate. The egg was also strange too, never seen it formed in such a circular manner haha. That's just me nit-picking though, everything else tasted great and it came with everything you expected with the dish including the soup and side vegetables. One of my other friends (the graduate) ordered the bánh khọt, which is like a little mini Vietnamese pancake bite. It's also one of my top 3 favourite dishes, and my friend let me have a bite to try. Oh boy, I'm sad to say this was the worst bánh khọt I've had. Both my friend and I commented how dough-y it was in the middle, which is not supposed to be like that. I think they messed up this dish, it happens when you get even one proportion of ingredients wrong. Overall, most of the group liked what we had, and we had a nice time there. If you're in Queen Anne area, it's a decent option for Vietnamese food, but I rather go elsewhere like South Seattle for better Vietnamese food.

    COBA *June 3, 2025 *5:30pm- Tuesday *5 Stars Seating/ Environment: *Street Parking *Close to Climate Pledge Arena *Friendly Staff Food/Drink: *Grilled Pork Banh Mi *Prawn Fresh Rolls We found COBA because it was just a short 3-minute walk from the Climate Pledge Arena--we were heading to watch the Seattle Storm play and wanted something quick before the game. Service was fast, which was perfect for a pre-event meal, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The price for the amount of food was also great! The pork banh mi was seriously good--definitely something I'd recommend! We also had the fresh spring rolls, which were light, refreshing, and lived up to their name. We honestly wished we had more time in the area because we would've loved to go back for another round! The quality of the food was excellent all around. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area, especially if I'm headed to another game or show nearby.

    Lunch!

    The food was very tasty and they have lots of vegetarian and vegan options here. They don't carry nondairy milk though unfortunately for the Thai teas. The service is usually kinda hit or miss. They're very polite but sometimes it can be hard to get their attention when you need something or are ready for the check. The ambiance is fun and cozy. Would recommend!

    Decided to try Coba for their pho. There's a iPad where you can check in for waitlist. The interior is more roomier than I thought. Staff was okay - nothing that stuck out good or bad. The salt and pepper tofu could have used more seasoning as it was kind of bland. There wasn't much salt or pepper. The beef pho comes with steak and brisket. Unlike other Vietnamese shops, there's no specific pho that comes with specific meat cuts (ie no pho tai). The broth was on the bland side. My friends that came to Coba before also agreed it was more bland than usual. There's only one portion size which was pretty good but it's on the more expensive end. Overall, Coba was just okay. There's a lot of other options in the area that is cheaper and more authentic. FYI the full menu (as of Feb 2025) is at the link below. https://qr.imenupro.com/180g-a

    Does their veggie pho use vegetable broth?

    Anything advertised as vegetarian is truly vegetarian.

    Do we need reservations on friday?

    The restaurant is a decent size. I never been on a Friday but I was there on a Sunday afternoon and there was a good amount of people in restaurant. I would recommend just to be on the safe side.

Love how we can have fun playing games, taking pics, choosing a song, and having great conversations in the comfy booths. Service is helpful. One night one of the games ate our quarters up and never worked so we let the bartender know and a few minutes later he gave us our quarters back. Staff is efficient and keeps the bar clean picking up any left behind glasses quickly. The bar is quirky and fun. Private and comfy booths, and lots of clowns everywhere. Sad clowns, happy clowns, creepy clowns, and more clowns than you can count! The bathrooms are unisex with plenty of stickers to look at. Always hand soap and toilet paper available even when busy. Hard working staff! Some areas of the bar like near the bathrooms have flashy lights and makes it feel like you're at the circus. The vibe is laid back and care free. Have yet to try the food so no words on that quite yet! Always a great time at Shorty's. Literally one of my favorite bars! Highly recommend!

Service was swift, and the food came out in a timely manner. I will remember this place for future late-night food. The Food: Rib Eye Steak Platter, $28 - 4.5 Stars This sizzling platter comes with your choice of sauce and a choice of starch. Hubby chose black pepper sauce and spaghetti. Hubby asked for medium rare, but the rarest they offer is medium due to being served on a sizzling platter. Fair enough. The platter did arrive smoking hot. The flavors were pretty good. The black pepper sauce was delivered warm, not very hot. The flavors met expectations. Stir Fried Udon with Tenderloin Steak, $20.95 - 4 Stars This dish is also done in a black pepper sauce. I quite like the high veggies-to-udon ratio, almost equal parts. Overall flavor is a bit salty. Some beef pieces are better than others, a mix of tender and chewy. Garlic Pepper Soft Shell Crab, $16.95 - 3.5 Stars Despite being fried, these pieces are softer, less crispy than I all other fried soft-shell crab I have had. Perhaps they might need to double fry. These have good flavor with good seasonings despite not being particularly crispy.

There is a caveat though, which is that they only have select items in the AYCE menu. The ambiance of the place was inviting enough for us to give them a try! There is a 90 minute window for AYCE, and you can order a maximum of 3 items per person every 15 minutes. All orders have to be made from an app on your phone so make sure you have a fully charged device! When we logged in the app, it was confusing to manage at first so we worked with the server to put our orders in. She had to put in our orders for us a couple of times and then we figured out how to work the system after that. To do the math for those reading the review and maximize the number of items you can order with the 90 minute window, you can potentially order up to 18 sets of skewers per person. Each set of skewer has two sticks. My hubby and I missed a few items from our order but we were getting full after my 10th skewer and his 15th skewer so it did not matter too much! The AYCE menu also has options to order zaru soba, corn cheese, and takoyaki! Presentation is great but I wish the flavor matched the visuals. The standout skewers for us were the boruta pork and the wagyu beef tongue. I was really hoping that the yakitori would be crispier and had more of a smokey flavor but I really can't complain too much for the price point. The food is solid but not like a wow, I have to come back here again! We only saw one server for the busiest part of the night, serving 8 tables all at once. She made sure that our glasses were never empty and she treated us warmly. Wile the decor and the general atmosphere are pleasant, the quality of the food would not merit another visit for me.

    This has been bookmarked for a while and the only regret I have is that I didn't get here sooner…read more This food is terrific, the vibe is hilarious, the servers are downright fantastic. Andrew (our server) introduced us to his sidekick, who was in training. Love that personal, hands on approach for a mew team member, and Sidekick did a great job in monitoring our table and replenishing water. Have to stop here and express my appreciation for Andrew and how he took the time to explain the philosophy and genuine team vibe of the restaurant. Oftentimes when a restaurant adds a flat 20% gratuity, you get the feeling this is not passed on to the servers. Not so here. He explained that it's shared among the servers, bar, and other staff, with only a bit retained by management, but even that finds its way into their wages. Terrific work environment and happy to see it. It definitely shows in the level of service. But we're here to eat. Didn't take a picture, but one of my dining companions ordered the burrito with red chili sauce and it was very good. Just the right amount of heat in the sauce. The Cantina celebrates Taco Tuesday, so I took advantage of this. You get the opportunity to try 5 different street tacos for the low price of $15. For another $4 you order it fully loaded which is a steal (guac, pickled onions, lettuce, giardano, crema, and another lovely sauce). Each of the tacos were really delicious and packed full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the cauliflower and the beef. Was surprised how much I liked the popcorn chicken - still juicy and not greasy in the least. Andrew treated us to a round of the hatch green chili. I was delighted because it was a dish I wanted to try. He described it perfectly: a little kick, but you can't stop eating it. He was right. A bowl of this in the winter with their cornbread (which I'm confident will be delicious) will preempt a winter cold. The sauces on the table are not to be ignored either. The green chili sauce was fruity with a little heat, the scorpion chili brings the heat, but their homemade chili oil is phenomenal. I could put this on everything. In short, the Cantina delivers. Excellent food, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun staff, and a cool vibe. I'll bet the cocktails will also be good. Definitely adding to the regular rotation!

I ordered the crab cake Benedict and liked that they skip the English muffin so you really get to focus on the crab cake itself. I added avocado for an extra $4.25, and they gave a decent amount spread across both crab cakes. The crab cakes were cooked a little more than I would've preferred, so they had a crispier texture and taste than expected, but overall still flavorful. The side of hash browns was $7.20 and came in a decent portion. One thing to note: there's also a 5% service fee added to the bill.

Apps and drinks - cheese curds were good (4 of 5) The jalapeño poppers were a 1...Cafe Five infused habanero into the pepper to a level that nothing else could be tasted. Beers were fine, margaritas were bad. The Ruben was the best of the 6 dishes...a solid 4.5 for diner-type meals. Biscuits and gravy was a close second - gravy was good, biscuits were meh - hard and dry. The Dick Burger (that's the literal name) was pretty good as well (a 3). Fries were soggy, like squeeze out liquid kind of soggy for some of them. The country fried steak was very promising, but it came out kinda cold. Flavor was good, temp knocked down the rating. The place was clean, the music was loud (but not obnoxiously loud), and the inside ambience is cool. Our server did his best to check in on us and refilled drinks in a timely enough fashion.

    Wow, this review is 8 years old! I want to share my experience with Some Random Bar…read more In 2017, my mom and I visited Seattle for me to look at apartments and interview for jobs. We came here to eat because it was near our hotel. I was OBSESSED with the crab nachos. 2 months later, I moved out here all on my own. Now, 8 years later, I live nearby. Whenever someone is visiting, we come here. Whenever I run into a stranger visiting, i say they have to come here. My friends know if i'm celebrating anything, "are you getting crab nachos?!" It's become a part of my personality at this point. I have so much respect for the owners, the way they run their business and their honesty online. No one I've brought here has had a bad thing to say regardless of what they ordered. My go to is: Pull apart bread, crab nachos (with their hot sauce!! which, btw can i buy that by the bottle.. cause YUM) + whatever drink is calling my name (they rotate, but if you can get the pina colada you won't regret it). tldr; you'll regret NOT coming here.

    Went here recently for a random happy hour after work, had not been to this place in a couple of…read moreyears. I remembered that their drinks and bourbon selection/pricing used to be incredible. As with all things lately, prices have gone up on some of their rarer pours. The standard basic cocktails though were still reasonable and decently priced for the location. The atmosphere is great and service was pretty quick. The outdoor patio is still there which was a nice addition from 2019/2020 era. Some of their bourbons are still reasonably priced. Their food is pretty good. Would recommend the tacos, the burger, and carne asada. The nachos were not particularly for me, and also seemed to come out cold. Seemed to have cheese sauce instead of actual cheese. It was a cold day however. This place is mainly great for happy hour after work, but will come back and try dinner another time. Staff is great though. Really quaint and awesome spot to post up. good food, good service, good drinks, good selection, and still better pricing than most bars with what they have to offer. Will be going back again sooner. cheers
