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.

I've tried a lot of banh mi spots in California, and this place easily compares to some of the best…read morespots in the San Gabriel Valley. First off, the variety is impressive. They have a wide range of banh mi fillings, from the classics to some harder to find options like roast pork, so there's something for everyone. My personal favorite is the crispy roast pork banh mi. The pork has that perfect crackly skin with juicy, flavorful meat underneath. Paired with the pickled veggies, fresh cilantro, and a light spread of mayo on a crusty baguette, it hits all the right textures and flavors. I also love the special banh mi with all the different meats. It's basically the greatest hits lineup with savory cold cuts, pâté, and other cured meats layered together for a rich, satisfying bite every time. It's hearty without being overwhelming, and the balance of fresh and savory components is spot on. And don't skip the drinks. The egg coffee was surprisingly excellent. The Vietnamese coffee base had a deep, bold flavor with that classic slightly bitter edge, and the creamy whipped egg topping added a smooth, lightly sweet contrast. It felt indulgent but still very coffee forward. Overall, this is a great banh mi spot for me with the great variety, tasty sandwiches, and a standout egg coffee to round it all out. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for a quality banh mi.

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!

Kicking off the 2026 New Years at a new joint! Lotus Pond Vietnamese cuisine in Aurora!…read more Upon walking into the restaurant, it was a warm vibes and we noticed the lovely ambiance. We were quickly seated which was great! A few things we ordered to try out included: 1. Goi Cuon Nem Nuong also know as the Grilled Pork with tamarind fish sauce 2. 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!

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.

My favorite pho in Seattle, and really, anywhere!…read more This place is amazing! They treat their guests like regulars, and they treat their regulars like family. I have not had a bad meal here, and neither has my friends. This is honestly my favorite place for pho, and in my humble opinion, the best pho I've ever had. It tastes like your Vietnamese aunties are cooking in the kitchen, because they are! I crave this place, and usually eat here once a week if I can. My regular order is a large pho tai chin nam bo vien, (no white onions), which is rare steak, brisket, flank, and beef meatballs. Their pho broth is clear, yet rich and beefy and filled with authentic spices - you can really taste the bones being lovingly simmered for hours. Their Bun Bo Hue is also very good, with outstanding homemade pork meatballs. I tried my friend's Bun Rieu and it was seafoody and delicious as well. Also, don't miss out on their Goi Cuon (spring rolls). It's not on the menu but they do offer a shrimp & pork spring roll. They are absolutely delicious and very fresh. As I said, not a bad meal to be had here! Pro tip: For extra rich, beefy tasting pho, order some nuoc beo, (pronounced "nook bay-o") to add to your broth. You can thank me later. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Pho Ha Noi: this was off their signature pho menu and was on the pricier side, but it looked unique so I had to try it. It came with a creamy raw egg yolk and I found their beef broth so satisfying. Pho Sa Te Sai Gon: this was also off their signature pho menu. It came with a nice mix of veggies and meat: rib-eye steak, brisket, meatballs, cucumber, tomatoes and fresh herbs. I didn't care too much for the broth, I found it too thick and the peanuts were overpowering.

I had a hankering for pork bao, which I hadn't had in a long time. They were decent. My girlfriend is vegetarian, so all other dishes were vegetarian: dry-fried string beans, general Tso's tofu, and hot and sour food. More than enough for the two of us, and very good and satisfying. Note: General Tso's is usually made with chicken and we asked if it could be made with tofu instead. They had no problem with the request. Portions are ginormous, so bring your appetite!
