    01. Bun Bo Hue
    Lauren B.

    Feel just like home. Warm bowl of hearty spicy broth in a small cozy shop. Fast and friendly workers. If I live here, I'd come here every week. Bonus point that's right by the Link station. Love it!

    I've never had bun bo hue before, but I'm definitely going to come back and have it again! My friend brought me out here for authentic Vietnamese food, and it definitely fit the bill. The tables are a bit cramped, and you sit next to other groups, but the food comes out fast and so tasty it's worth it. Come at off hours so you don't wait for too long - the restaurant was pretty full even coming after lunch time.

    This is not a fancy spot by any means - come here for some authentic, comforting noodle soup. Every time I take the link past Othello I always see this spot and tell myself I need to try it. I finally got to do so! The space inside is small and cramped, and we were seated at a long table right next to some other people. I came with the goal of trying their bun bo hue, which has been recommended as the best in Seattle. They also have a few other menu options with the classic Vietnamese dishes. The bun bo hue came out nice and hot, with a side of fresh veggies. There was meatballs, beef slices, pork blood, pork feet, and thick rice noodles inside. The broth was absolute perfection - so well seasoned and paired with the noodles perfectly. I loved how chewy the noodles were and they were also super generous with the amount of meat. I'd definitely come back when craving that authentic bowl of noodles! Service was also really friendly :)

    Bún bò Huế

    The best Bún Bò Huế in Seattle, hands down! I keep coming back for it. Plus, they offer fantastic traditional Huế cakes like Bánh Lọc and Bánh Nậm for takeout.

    Cozy spot in sea tac area to get authentic viet noodles. Their bun bo hue very hearty and flavorful. Service was quick for an in and out lunch. They didn't ask for spice level and so it did come out a bit spicy but it was the perfect level of spiciness.

    My grandpa took me here one time, so I knew it had to be good because he is a very picky man when it comes to Vietnamese restaurants. This was my second visit, and it is still great. Just across the street from the Othello Link Station, it is a perfect stop to or from the airport for a quick and hearty meal. It is a small restaurant, but it was pretty busy for a Friday lunch! We were seated immediately, and our server was really nice and gave us a big table because we had our luggage with us. It was a cold day, so I obviously had to order a warm, comforting bowl of pho. Which was a terrific choice because they did not skimp on the meats and the broth was full of flavor. Some FYIs - There is only a $1 difference between the small and large size for the noodle soup dishes! They serve hot tea instead of water, but I'm sure you can ask for water instead if that isn't your cup of tea. You will pay at the front when you are done, they won't bring you a check.

    I was pretty excited to try this place for bún bò huế, but honestly, my experience was a bit underwhelming. As soon as you walk in, you're hit with the delicious smell of pho broth, which definitely sets the mood. But then, when we sat down, the table had this wet mildew smell, likely from their towels, which was pretty off-putting. My bún (noodles) were overcooked, which is a letdown for me. While I appreciated that their bún bò huế included pig's feet (a nice touch), the broth itself was just okay--definitely not spicy at all. One good thing was they had fermented shrimp paste, which is not always available at every bún bò huế spot in Seattle, so that was a plus. However, my friend ordered a dry hủ tiếu entrée, and it was really disappointing--it just tasted like peanuty hoisin sauce, and didn't have that authentic Hủ Tiếu Nam Vang flavor at all. Overall, I don't think I'll be rushing back. Still on the hunt for a good BBH spot unfortunately.

    03. Bun Rieu

    Typical hole-in-the-wall mom/pop spot with great authentic Vietnamese food. Been here multiple times and it's consistently great. Bun Bo Hue is flavorful with a rich and meaty taste. Bun Rieu is on point. Cha lua (pork cake) is super tasty. Efficient service, can get jam packed on the weekends but the food usually comes out quickly. Parking lot nearby can be hard to navigate but it's worth the effort!

    A hidden gam! If you're looking for delicious and well-priced Viet food, this is the place to go! I had their bun Bo hue and it was pretty good. For a large it was only $13! We had their bun rieu and it was pretty good as well. Try their shrimp rice ball if you're looking for a good appetite! The service here was pretty good. Servers were attentive and helpful and the food didn't take long to make. The ambiance of the restaurant is good. Authentic Vietnamese restaurant atmosphere. There's a decent amount of seating.

    03. Bun Rieu
    Kaelin H.

    It's a small restaurant and certainly busy! I came to eat on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm and all the tables were full. It's also likely going to be a communal dining experience if you've got a small group or if you are eating by yourself. I ordered the bun rieu and I'm pleased with it! I'd say the flavor was light, bordering on a little bland, and the meatballs had a spongy texture to it. It's a hectic spot with crowded seating and a busy environment but it's still a comforting spot for a good bowl of soup.

    Seattle seems to have tons of Vietnamese restaurants. My parents raved about Hoang Lan since they mentioned the broth tends to be lighter and less oily. My son is also gradually acquiring the taste of grilled pork over rice, and my wife loves BBH (Spicy Pork Blood Noodle Soup). Sounds like a win-win-win! The restaurant shared a huge parking lot with Safeway, and its tucked way in the back corner of the lot. You enter through the back hallway with bathroom and kitchen, but you'll eventually reach the dining area. Whew, so its not a hole-in-wall after all. The food here is legit, especially grilled pork over broken rice. The pork is marinated and juicy, but note you may need to trim around the fat and bone to get that awesome meat. I also enjoy the texture of broken rice since it seems to soak up flavor more by not sticking together. My 3yo son loved this dish - he gobbled up the pork as soon as I cut it for him. My dish was the grilled chicken vermicelli. Solid dish, and it seems like they threw in some pork sausage too. Wife enjoyed BBH but didn't care for pig feet. She commented her favorite BBH is Pho Saigon City in Pleasanton, CA. Overall 4 stars - a very good Vietnamese place. They even have this pork four ways rice dish with grilled, shredded, skin, and sausage preparations that I'll definitely want to try next time in Seattle!

    Big bowls of authentic pho for only $13! Inside the graffitied storefront was bustling with patrons and if that wasn't enough to convince you to try, the delicious rich broth certainly is. We ordered the Bun rieu and Chicken pho and they came loaded with flavor. They're perfect for a cold day. The chicken pho was sweeter than I like but perfect for my friend. Next time we will come back to try their star dish, Bo bun hue. This restaurant is conveniently located just off the Othello light rail station! The only thing to be cautious about is parking in the large parking lot and finding your way in from the back entrance, past the small bathroom. Tip: They take card now!

    Spring rolls made with tofu (gui cuon).
    Will L.

    One of the things I like most about Hoang Lan is how friendly and accommodating they are, especially with my girlfriend's dietary requirements (she's vegetarian). We started with Gui cuon, which are spring rolls. Generally, these are made with shrimp or pork. However, upon request, they made them with tofu. Delicious. As before, I ordered the Bun Thit Ga Nuong, Nem Nuong, which is grilled chicken and grilled minced pork on vermicelli. Just as good as last time. My girlfriend really wanted to try the same, and asked if they could make it vegetarian. No problem! She got hers with tofu. (I think I will try her take on the dish next time! It looked really good.) I asked about a salted plum drink again, but they still weren't able to make it. Hai, one of the owners, said that he could make a salted lemonade instead. I ordered that and it was so refreshing on such a hot day! A new drink I'll be having regularly. I love how convenient Hoang Lan is to the light rail. Just four stops from SeaTac, and you got yourself a great lunch. I highly recommend if you're on your way to the airport or returning from a trip. I now stop there regularly.

Regardless, it was tasty and the meat was juicy. The pork pate added a nice savory touch to the sandwich, and no other condiment was in excess that it took away taste from the flavorful grilled pork. Staff was very kind throughout, and refilled my water every now and then. It was also nice chatting with one of them about our day and other recommendations from the menu.

Alas, they no longer offer the catfish or the beautiful, layered cronut. Tears.

    We walked in for happy hour and walked out with a happy belly…read more The vibe is pretty casual with moody lighting and retro photos on the wall. We sat near the patio for fresh air and better acoustics so it wasn't hard to hear each other talk. Food wise, we did half dozen oysters with house hot sauce (yum!), hollow bread, shrimp toast, chicken bite and mini donuts, duck egg custards, and fish and chips. Dessert was coffee and pomelo entremet (fancy). I will definitely do shrimp toast again and try some other dishes next time. Drinks are pretty but not super memorable. I enjoyed the service that's warm attentive but not over bearing. Overall lovely date night spots and solid happy hour food menu.

    Honestly this has been one of our favorite dinner date experiences in Seattle this year!…read more Food blew our mind! Especially the appetizers! We loved the hollow bread, clams, and the egg! The noodles were tasty but we felt didn't quite fit the flavor palate. The pork was honestly a bit on the salty side. We ended our night with their scallion cake which was tasty! Service was friendly and wonderful to start but we noticed by the end of the night they kind of forgot about us and it took quite a while to order dessert and get our check to leave. That was a tiny bummer for the overall experience but we really love this spot and will continue to recommend it! Especially for the appetizers!

    My mom has been wanting to come back here for a longg time so we finally went after visiting the…read moretemple around the corner. It was her second time but my first. I can't say it was anything super special but it was definitely worth a try. Food & drink: (4/5) There are for sure certain items that they excel at and some that need some work. We got the banh uot tower with heo quay, banh khot, banh mi chao, and com tam. I see the appeal of the eye catching banh uot tower, but unfortunately I felt like it was very mediocre. I felt like the portion of veggie and meat wasn't enough for all the rice rolls, plus the actual heo quay was dry with barely any crispy skin. I think they also forgot to give us the heo quay because we had to ask for it much after the banh uot came out. I would skip this next time. I would also skip the banh khot as it was on the softer, chewier side when my personal preference is light and crispy. Those who do like it soft will definitely enjoy it though. As for flavor, it had an extremely prominent coconut taste- it usually isn't so strong in banh khot so I wasn't so fond of this. My family did really enjoy the com tam and banh mi chao. I only had one bite of each, but I would get these items again. Their drinks on the other hand, were delightful. I got the tamarind black tea and my step dad got the lychee green tea. Both were super refreshing and even addicting. I think they tend to do sweet items better, including their rice crispy treats that they sell on the front counter. Service: (4/5) The service here didn't really stand out much but I didn't pay much mind to it. They were very nice but there was a sense of disorganization, mostly due to us not being acknowledged when we first walked in and having some of our food forgotten about.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while now, so I was a little let down, which was…read moreunfortunate because I was really looking forward to it. I ordered the stir-fry egg noodles, which were very good, but not worth the price. I also ordered the Pandan Vietnamese coffee, which was excellent. I definitely recommend that. Something I didn't enjoy was the service. There really wasn't much service at all. We walked in and were pointed to a table with menus, but there were no utensils or water. We had to struggle to get the staff's attention whenever we needed something for the table, so that's definitely a one-star experience for me. Fortunately, the ambiance was great. It's a very nicely decorated place, so I guess they have that going for them. Will I be coming back? For the coffee, yes. For the food, no. For the service, absolutely not. Anyway, I'm glad I tried it.
