    (Left to Right) Strawberry Match and Salted Cloud
    Kosneath V.

    I had a great experience at LA Bean. When I went on a Saturday afternoon, there was no line and no crowd, which made the visit super quick and relaxing. The drinks were delicious--definitely the highlight. The coffee itself is very strong, which I personally enjoyed, and the flavors were well-balanced. I tried both the salted cloud and the matcha strawberry latte, and both looked amazing and tasted just as good. One thing to note: if you're particular about sweetness levels, the ordering kiosk doesn't let you adjust it. I ended up ordering with the cashier instead so I could customize my drink. Overall, a solid spot for quality drinks, especially if you like strong coffee. I'd come back again!

    This is such a cute cafe! I couldn't pick from their menu so I got one coffee drink and a matcha drink. I got the traditional Vietnamese coffee and the mango matcha latte. Both drinks were not bad, but I feel like they just need that oomph! I wouldn't rule it out as an option if I'm in the area. It's a good place for hanging out or studying or maybe even working!

    Returning after 6 months and so happy to see this place thriving- both in their offerings and the foot traffic. It was very busy on a Saturday morning. Got the warm Ube matcha. It was delicious. Not too sweet and has good blend of both Ube and matcha. We also had the velvet brûlée- it was so good. Great taste of coffee and just enough crème brûlée making the drink creamy with a hint of sweetness. Highly recommended this drink. The pork banh mi was also a highlight for me. It was very tasty! I would come here for lunch tasty. It was a pleasant surprise since I didn't expect a beverage place would have super tasty banh mi. It was overall a satisfying (satiating) visit. My recommendation to the owner is to provide a little description of the drink as I can't imagine the staff having to answer to the many questions of "what's a velvet brûlée", or "brew-Bea" and they'd rather focus on crafting each drink. ;) also labeling the flavor of the various fun rice crispies would be helpful.

    I came on a Monday for an afternoon snack. The staff was friendly and helpful in answering my questions. Too bad they didn't have the Croc waffle at the time. I had the pistachio luxe and the grilled pork Banh Mi. There were visible pistachios in the drink, which I greatly appreciated. The pork Banh Mi was sweet and satisfying. The store was decorated super cute, and it was a great place for me to sit down and work for a little bit since they also provided free Wi-Fi. Though the Wi-Fi didn't seem to allow access to all sites (such as Yelp), I was still able to get some work done. Overall, it's a great spot to grab some snacks and get work done. Hopefully next time I come back, the Croc waffle will be available. Parking was easy since there was a parking lot.

    Green tea w boba
    Piko L.

    Top tier drinks, wonderful service, and super pretty interior decor puts this tea shop in my top 3 favs in the area. Love the adorable 4 month old husky puppy named Dong who chills in the far corner by the windows. The bahn mi can sell out near the end of the day, so highly recommend going to get one for lunch with a pick-me-up drink! The grilled beef option had a nice balance of greens, mayo, jalapeno, and the bread was baked nice and crunchy. It def hit the spot! The green tea was very fragrant and the la bean cloud was also delicious! The boba is cooked well and the fruit drink (lychee green tea) is very floral and had a great base tea flavor. I aim to try everything on the menu and it's always a nice bonus to see a cute dog. I'd come here very week to pet Dong and also grab a sandwich + drink!

    What a cute cafe! Delicious (and quite reasonably priced) bahn mi sandwiches in perfectly crunchy rolls. Also tried the pistachio luxe on the server's recommendation- creamy, nutty, and delicious. The ambiance was a pop of spring with vibrant colors - so cheerful and unexpected - perfect pick me up on a dreary Seattle day. Service was very friendly. Will come again!

    Tried this place out for the first time and it did not disappoint! The drinks are very characteristic of Vietnamese drinks as they are on the sweeter and thicker side. I got the milk tea (with sea salt foam, grass jelly and boba). It is definitely quite sweet and there is unfortunately no way to adjust sweetness. Luckily I love sweet stuff though, so I enjoyed it. The sea salt foam is really good and the flavor is strong, one of the best/most flavorful ones I've had. Boba is also cooked well and is chewy. It's a thick drink and is sizable. The young coconut matcha was also good, it's very coconut-y and thick. There definitely is a good amount of ice though so you might have to be a bit patient in waiting for that to melt... I would say the coconut flavor is a bit stronger than the matcha, however we still enjoyed it! The store itself is cute and has great lighting! Would definitely be back if craving a sweet dessert drink!

    Young coconut
    Eva R.

    LA bean was very good. I got their young coconut matcha and the coconut water was very sweet. I really like the matcha foam where it was slightly bitter which balances the coconut water. I would love to come back and try more of their drinks. Staff were very friendly and I love the cafe it's so cute

    Chicken Banh Mi w/o butter
    Yona P.

    I mainly went in to check out the Crocs waffle for my kiddo, but of course I couldn't resist trying their bánh mì too--so I got the chicken, no butter. I prefer a sweet, tangy bánh mì, and butter or that creamy sauce kind of throws me off, so I skipped it. Honestly, I'd rather have a Sriracha option. The Crocs waffle took about 15 minutes, which they told me when I ordered. I crisped it up again at home to serve it to my son, who was so excited to eat a waffle shaped like a shoe. It literally looked like his yellow Crocs, lol. Ahhhhhh... but then--he wouldn't even swallow his first bite. Even after dipping it in his favorite ube cream. So I tried it... and hmm. It honestly felt like it was missing something? Like... baking powder??? It was extremely dense, doughy, and very heavy. Almost like undercooked egg-flour batter. The ube cream was great, but not enough to save that failed waffle. We were expecting a fluffy, airy, pillowy waffle with a light crisp on the outside... but oh, well. The bánh mì, on the other hand, was actually good. I just wish the bread had been gutted more--it was a bit too heavy. I noticed most people were getting boba drinks, so I guess I ordered all the non-signature items. Ambiance was cute though... lots of artificial flowers?!

    Velvet brulee coffee
    Kim C.

    This is by far the tastiest coffee I've had. I saw a video of the velvet brulee on Instagram and needed it immediately. The small parking lot was filled on a weekday around lunch time so I parked in the lot by Amazon Fresh and walked across. My coffee came out fast and it tasted delicious. My only wish is that they would serve the Vietnamese coffee with less caffeine as an option. Although the drink is beyond delicious I could barely drink half. Vietnamese coffee makes me very jittery. I've recommended this place to friends and they also loved the velvet brulee. I plan to bring my sisters when they visit too. Hopefully the lower caffeine coffee is a viable offering soon, if so I'll be coming back several times a week. I definitely want to try one of their Croc waffles they look so cute!

    Ube Love Potion
    Joe H.

    I had someone pick this up for me so this won't be a full review of the service or the ambiance of the store But I really like the Ube Love Potion. It reminded me of the OG Taro Milk Tea with tapioca from the late 90s. I will be back to try more drinks and food!

    Vanessa K.

    Service is great, but tbh I don't rock with their matcha, if anything it taste like jasmine green milk tea

    Cute statement
    Annie C.

    I was around the area and wanted to get some coffee. I stumbled upon this place after hearing about it on IG. Parking is shared amongst with other businesses. Upon entering the cafe, it has a cozy vibe filled with cute floral decors. The menu had a lot of drink selection with pictures for reference. I decided to try the coco velvet latte while my friend got the pistachio latte. We both wanted to try their salted cream so we added that in as well. The worker brought our drinks to our table and instructed us to shake to mix. Overall, the drinks were okay. Coffee wasn't strong enough imo. We both like the flavors but thought Vietnamese coffee should be a bit stronger and less milky. I guess I should've ordered the one with double shots. This place is a cute cafe for hangouts and IG. But if you want your coffee stronger, I suggest ordering their sunrise sips drinks (rookie mistake). I think I will give their matcha a try next time whenever I'm nearby.

This was on a Friday night at almost 6pm and my friend and I came in to a nearly empty interior that filled up throughout our stay. Is it just dinnertime that time or were my friend and I bringing in the crowds? You'll enjoy a very clean and well-kept restaurant with clean tables and chairs, with lighting that's very little but lights up the whole place well. Menu has a lot of offerings (both regular and vegetarian) but since it's dinnertime I decided on a rice dish as usual. I got their beef short ribs rice dish, which has their usual marinated short ribs with a fried egg and veggies. I actually liked how they offered their rice in a separate bowl, and everything else on one plate... which means the meat almost covered my whole plate! By the way, my friend got their grilled pork chop rice dish, and the meat also almost completely covered his plate. Both our meats were marinated so well and held in so much flavor, and came off their bones easily. We both agreed the grilled beef short rib dish I ordered was the winner because of the bolder and more defined marinated taste of the meat. I've tried so many Vietnamese restaurants and almost exclusively get their beef short ribs rice on the first visits of them, but this is the first time I've seen meat portions this huge for a rice dish. I'm thinking of coming back here for another visit even if I have to deal with the tight parking plaza this place is close to.

Square Lotus offers an extensive choice of dishes. This visit we ordered the tropical fresh rolls and the pork on skewers, along with banh xeo The banh xeo was really nice and crispy. The only 2 drawbacks. for me was ... instead of pork belly, they use chicken, i think white meat cause the meat is very dry. The second is they don't offer a lot of fresh herbs with this dish. Just some cilantro and one small branch of Thai basil Next time i order this i will definitely ask for pork belly instead of chicken in my banh xeo. Definitely recommend you trying this restaurant. BTW, the offer an extensive amount of vegetarian dishes

I have come many times over the years and the servers dont go out of their way to be nice. Thats fine, since pho restaurants usually have that vibe of just coming in for your food. But the last time i went, they did go out of their way; unfortunately to be RUDE instead. My friends and i came in at 8:30; we knew they closed at 9, but we had our orders ready, and they sat us without an issue (as it seemed). They then gave us attitude and rushed us the entire time. My friend asked the girl server with glasses for extra veggies. The server visibly hesitated, said yes, but then tried to explain the veggies were to portion. We said we understood that but simply wanted more. She agreed, but then proceeded to ignore us for the rest of the time. She ignored us when we said thank you, and stood behind our booth without saying anything; waiting for us to get up and leave. The other server (asian guy, about 20s, with a mask) who had sat us, stood and watched us eating the entire time. When he brought us the first two bowls of pho, he said it was x item, then randomly waved his hand at me to tell me it was y item (my order). It wasnt lol. When he rang us up, he basically threw us our reciepts to sign. In the past, it once took this same server my entire meal to refill my water and in the end he never did it. I didnt think coming in at 8:30 was crazy, especially when most of the restaurant was filled when we pulled up and we knew we could finish up by 9 (which we did). If youre going to ruin our meal AND experience because we came in at the last hour then dont bother seating us at all. And if youre going to have this much resentment at the end of your shift for giving customers extra veggies then learn how to say no. I as well as my two friends each have worked in customer service for a long time. We know its annoying to have late customers, and i dont know what kind of day they had. Its still unreasonable to behave like this at their grown working age. Like i said; learn how to say no, maybe your shift wont be so miserable. And dont take it out on your customers; its a terrible business look. Ive tolerated the small things like them not being the most friendly or forgetting to fill my water; ive once overlooked them giving me the wrong order before. But i will not be coming back anymore since i prefer not to have staring competitions with my power-tripping server.

The staff were friendly and polite - and they graciously accommodated my peanut allergy, and quickly accommodated small requests like for bowls or extra napkins. We ordered four items: the missus got the bun bo hue, and I got the special beef pho. We shared the pancake and the spring roll. The noodle dishes were decent, but the standout was the Vietnamese pancake. Definitely order this if you're on the fence! The restaurant got a lot busier after we got our food - at least two or three parties who arrived (two each) had to wait between 5-10 min for a table to clear. The staff are super efficient at clearing tables so you won't need to wait long, but the downside of this place is that their popularity easily exceeds their capacity - so be patient! I don't have any notes for ambiance. Parking is available in the same plaza, but there isn't much - a lot are reserved for specific businesses between specific hours, so be careful not to park in an open business if you intend to eat here!

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.

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!

    Was in the area to watch a movie and wanted to try their Vietnamese coffee. Coffee was authentic in…read moreflavor and very strong. Service was fast and they have a good amount of seating there. I would definitely come back for the coffee and try some of their food items too.

    Every time I shop at the Southgate Oriental Market--and since the weather here is almost always…read morerainy--the pho smelled so good that I finally decided to give this place a try. Back in California, I went on a mission to find the most authentic, best pho, so my expectations are usually super high. This time, though, I just wanted to satisfy my craving for a hot bowl of rice noodle soup, not go full-on food critic, lol. The ambiance was nothing fancy but it was spacious. The Bathroom was fairly clean. Tables were a bit crowded with sauces and condiments; the sauce bottles were all open and the spoons and sauce plates weren't super clean... that's okay, I guess some germs make me stronger. The brisket was super tender and meaty--I enjoyed it. The noodles were a bit overcooked, though, and there wasn't enough cilantro or onions for my taste. My kiddo ordered fried wings, which were just... okay. Spring rolls? Meh, sorry. But the pho itself was satisfying enough to curb my craving, so overall, everything was okay. The server was attentive and friendly. I forgot to grab a banh mi to go.
