    Lovely pho place. Cant wait to go back on a moody rainy day in seattle. The atmosphere is very inviting. It's an order at the counter, self serve toppings sort of place and its just how I like it! I love being able to pick out how much of each topping i would like in my pho. The pho flavor was very delicious, as someone who has recently been to Vietnam, I can attest to it tasting true to the source.

    Finally came to try this place after passing by it a lot. Portion sizes were generous. The service was super friendly and speedy. It was pretty busy but everything came out fast. Interior is clean and spacious. Got the shrimp spring rolls and they were good. The peanut sauce was extra peanut buttery. Also both got #3s and the brisket was the best part. The broth flavor was soooo good but my noodles were a little soggier than i like it. Also got the hawaiian lemonade and i would say this is pretty unique as I haven't seen it at other places. Lemonade with pineapple juice and lihing powder. Would come back!

    My very lovely vermicelli bowl.

    I love this spot. Order at the front, take a number to your table and wait for the goodness to arrive. I ordered the vermicelli noodle bowl with tofu, it was everything I look for in a vermicelli noodle bowl-hearty, flavorful, and fresh. The service is great, water is available at the front, the restaurant is spotless. Nice people here, we'll return.

    The pho is tasty! A bit on the salty side for me though. Wouldn't say it's the best pho but it's pretty good for seattle i think. They're also pretty skimpy on the meat and the meatballs were more like meat slices which is interesting We had to stand around to wait for a table after ordering but the wait wasnt long for a holiday. Just felt like we were in the way while standing since there's not much room inside

    Food was delicious, service was top notch and ambiance was just fine for some pho. The Beef Pho Chin was excellent, what took it to the next level was their incredible peanut chili oil (all flavor, minimal spice). The side cart of lime, been sprouts and mint helped too I also got to try the Beef Banh Mi. This was delicious!! Loved everything about it, especially the garlic mayo Lastly I had their Hawaiian Lemonade. Again delicious and another item I'd recommend to order. If I was a local to the area, I'd be here weekly

    Love this pho place!! The broth is good and comes out piping hot! The toppings bar is such a great idea..first time I've seen that and it just makes sense! It's an easy and fast place to get your pho fix. Cute bathroom too lol

    Unlike other pho places, Lucky's is more of a self-served restaurant where you pay for your order up front, find your own table, and even getting your own greens of choice (bean sprouts, basil, lime), but they bring out the dishes to you. I came here on Sunday right after they opened, and it was already pretty crowded. The service was very quick though. I was able to get my pho within minutes after I ordered. I got the #5 which had a mix of beef. It was delicious! I'm usually not a soup person but the broth was very good. It was rich in flavor but not too greasy. The beef wasn't the best quality but solid. I'd come back and try their bahn mi and iced viet coffee!

    We both really liked our pho. This was probably one of my fave veggie phos I've had in Seattle and I've tried a lot. You order up front and then they bring it to your table. The toppings are at a bar in the front to self serve. They do have vegan or dairy free Thai tea with boba too! It's a smaller spot and can get busy so get there early so you don't have to wait on a table to free up.

    Wow-we stopped by for lunch today in the vibrant, Fremont area of Seattle on a very cold & sunny day. There was a steady stream of customers and we were happy to have ordered and found a table for four. Three of the four ordered Pho while I ordered the vermicelli noodle salad with chicken. As my husband said "yours was so good that I wished I had ordered it but then my pho was so good I would have been disappointed if I had not ordered it" so you see, it was a win win.

    Pork Banh Mi, Pho Ga and green tea
    Ferdinand C.

    Although the place was small and busy, it was very clean! The staff bused tables right away; so, we just waited a few minutes for a table. The Pork Banh Mi and Pho Ga were amazingly delicious. The Banh Mu was warm, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The vegetable broth in the Pho was perfect for our taste, not salty. They provided condiments to add to your soup or any order. We recommend this little place a "must taste"

    I've been going to this pho place for the past year and they have been consistent in the past. However, in my recent experience (mid-march 2024), their broth was not it. I am not sure if this was a one time event but I'll update if I ever go back. Stomach got a little upset after eating here on that one time interesting broth. The size is definitely generous and we had hard time finishing it. I noticed a lot of people asked for to go boxes.

The Mean: Corned beef was not the most tender (I'm still partial to Dingfelder's), but it's well seasoned. Mint with mustard is a combination I never would have guessed would work, but the sharpness complemented each other nicely. Red cabbage had a nice tang and the soft bun for the contrast of texture. The Steak Tartare Club: Steak tartare surprisingly mild, almost feels more like a BLT with a background of slight beefy squishy texture (but in a good way!). The yuzu kosho was not too spicy and the rye bread toasted to a crisp added a good bit of crunch and almost nutty flavor. Will be back for the Hama Hama Oyster Po'Boy.

    tl;dr the juicy Caribbean pork sandwiches at this revived Seattle mini-chain live up to the…read morelegendary hype Un Bien is arguably Seattle's most popular sandwich joint, and its dramatic history begins with Cuban chef Lorenzo Lorenzo and his initial shop, Paseo. Lorenzo opened Paseo in 1994, where his popular Cuban roast pork sandwiches were regarded as among the best in the country. After years of local expansion, Paseo abruptly filed for bankruptcy in 2014. The brand was subsequently bought out by a local entrepreneur, but the sale did not include Paseo's secret recipes (the reboot attempted to reverse engineer the sandwiches with varying success). So, in 2015, Lorenzo's sons revived Paseo under a new name, Un Bien, armed with their father's original recipes. Nowadays, Un Bien is generally regarded as superior to Paseo, and you can grab their Caribbean sandos at one of the three locations across Seattle. You can't miss the pastel pink-and-teal palette of the original shack on an otherwise drab block of Ballard. As you approach the wooden window, you are greeted by the aroma of sauteed meats and veggies. Communal laquered wood benches are lined up underneath a covered pergola. Fifties hits ring respectfully around the kitchen. My partner and I visited for late weekday lunch, and we ordered immediately. We opted to focus on the signature pork shoulder, so we split the #1 Caribbean Roast and #2 The Press. Across both sandwiches, we were impressed by the tender pork, rich onions, lemon-forward aioli, and marinade-soaked baguette. The standard roast pork sandwich added on pickled jalapenos and crisp romaine, culminating in a dynamic flavor that accentuated the meat. Meanwhile, The Press featured tart banana peppers, smoked ham, and melty Swiss, amping up the sweet and savory flavors alike; we agreed that this extra-messy sandwich just edged out the standard version. Our order took just minutes to be prepared, and the bill just topped $30. Despite the fanfare, I still found myself surprised by just how satisfying Un Bien's sandwiches turned out to be. Across all the food I ate in Seattle, only these pork sandwiches would be worth a return visit, even if I had to venture out of my way.

    Messy, pricey, totally overrated…read more My family and I visited Un Bien and arrived approximately 45 minutes before closing. We ordered promptly, but were told we would only have about 10 minutes to use the seating area before it closed. When we asked for clarification because the restaurant was advertised as being open until 9:00 PM, staff confirmed they were open until then but said the seating area would close earlier anyway. After receiving our food, we were told not to sit down and were asked to leave the seating area altogether. The interaction felt abrupt and discourteous, especially given that we had arrived well before closing and had purchased food with the expectation that we could eat on-site. The food itself was average, but the poor customer service and inconsistent messaging about seating left a much stronger impression than the meal. There are other better places. Skip.

While other Serious Pie locations tend to be semi-upscale-yet-casual pizza joints, this spot felt more like an afterthought with its small, dark space and decidedly hole-in-the-wall vibe. The good news is, the pizza was still delish, as it always is at Serious Pie. We enjoyed the sweet sausage pizza that has become a fave over the years, along with a couple of beers which were served in plastic pint "glasses". Okay, I'm sure this makes me sound like a beer snob, but plastic?! Good beer just doesn't taste good in plastic. (Unless you're at a frat party?) Our server (who, by the way, was excellent) later told us he'd accidentally used the wrong glasses for the beer; so apparently it's something they're fixing. Yay! It was also darn cold inside. We had to keep our coats on the entire time. A door between the restaurant area and the semi-open entrance to what appears to be their central storage area would most likely help. Again, this all probably seems a bit petty. I'll own that. But as someone who loves Tom Douglas and his restaurants, and has had great experiences at other Serious Pie locations, this one was a disappointment. Especially since they're charging the same (some might say elevated) prices as they do at the other locations. Maybe if they called it something else, to differentiate it? Serious Pie Lite? Semi-Serious Pie? I dunno, but I expected just a little bit better from this iconic local brand.
