    Vietnamese curry

    This spot is located in kind of a more accessible part of White Center with plenty of street parking. It's such a gem! The service is so fast, and while the menu is pretty widely varied and not necessarily "authentic" to Vietnamese cuisine, it means there's something for everyone. I had the Vietnamese Tofu curry, and the portion was huge (definitely taking some to go!) and the flavor is excellent. The spice isn't oppressive, more flavor than a mouth scorching. Chill vibes here - I hung out for a bit and ate while waiting for a work appointment, great place to chill and they didn't rush me out. If I'm back in the area I'd definitely stop in and try more of the menu.

    Food: **** Clean: ***** Service: **** Ambience: **** Found another hidden gem in town, the portion is so big and price is pretty fair. Seems very home style restaurant with authentic service and food. Lemons grass chicken dry noodle is good! Very flavorful. Pho tastes good too. But I wish my broth can be hotter. But overall is good and will return

    Stopped by Pho S for a weekday dinner, it was quiet with only one other diner. Sadly I lost the photo of it, but I ordered the pho with beef and brisket flank. The flavor was decent, except the broth was quite dark and heavy. Adding some lime helped balance it out, though it might be a bit intense for some tastes. Portions here were very generous. The regular pho is $15, the large is $16, and for an extra $3, the additional noodles are a great deal -- you get a ton with that too! One standout feature is the variety of condiment sauces provided at each table, including fish sauce, which isn't something you see at every pho restaurant. I didn't try it, simply pointing out that it's a nice touch. Bathrooms were clean. Not sure if I'd come back, but all things considered a solid 3.5.

    We took a road trip up north and hadn't eaten anything on the drive up so we were hungry. We didn't find many places we wanted to eat on this strip and we didn't wanna venture off too far since we came by for a car show. Stopped in for a quick bite. Very cute and clean restaurant. Staff was nice, but very quiet and didn't really check on us throughout our meal. We had salad rolls and the pork plate. The salad rolls were good, but very skimpy on all the ingredients inside. The rice plate was surprisingly very good. The pork was cooked perfectly and the meat was soft and tender. The marinade on the pork was hands down the best pork plate I've had at any of the Vietnamese restaurants I've gone to. My husband rarely eats pork and tried a bite and he also felt that the marinade on the pork was one of the best and most flavorful pork plates he's had. Will definitely stop by again if we are ever in the area.

    Everything was great. The service was good and location was quiet. Large pho combo was amazing; Broth was flavorful and loads of meats. You get the amount you pay for. Large was $16. (Photo below is what I had left after scooping two portions out for the kids) then still having some to take home after I finished my portion. Amazing chilli oil and hot sauce. Newly decorated and lots of seating. High chair for babies were clean. Egg roll was ok not horrible; my kids love it.

    Great pho! Generous portions. Atmosphere is much nicer and warmer than most pho places. Service is immediate and attentive.

    Located on the busy, commercial main drag of 16th Ave SW. The parking can be tricky as you need to back into the angled parking that lines the street. The interior is nicely decorated and has a modern and warm feel. There are lots of high tables and chairs and a few regular tables and chairs. Place your order with a server at your table and then go to the counter when you are finished with your meal to pay. Ordered the following: Fried rolls - nice and crispy, filling with pork, carrot, onion, and daikon was OK and not my favorite Pho combo (large) - generous portion, packed with sliced beef, brisket, meatball, tendon, and tripe, noodles were good, veggies were fresh, broth tastes sweeter than most pho restaurants but is still tasty.

    I have been coming to this location since I was a kid. Loved the original White center pho. Best broth in my opinion but it's been through a few different owners so I wanted to try this since everything was remodeled and looked so nice inside. The area definitely got upgraded. Interior is a lot brighter and more spacious than before. Service was decent. They came by rather quickly to grab our order. My bf got the brisket pho and I got steak with tripe. The broth was very aromatic and rather dark. It was a bit too sweet for my liking so I did use like two lime to cut some of it. For a reg bowl it was quite large. I barely made it half way when I started getting sick of how rich the broth was. Loved the assortment of spicy condiments on the side. It was a pretty good bowl of soup besides how sweet it was. Good place to try since it's in the neighborhood. Not sure how likely I'll be back though haha.

We live in West Seattle, but since they've only been open for about two months, this was our first visit--and it definitely won't be our last. We started with the edamame and kimchi. The kimchi has a nice kick to it, and we absolutely loved it! For our mains, we ordered the tofu and vegetable noodle soup and the bone-in short rib. Both were incredibly comforting, with a rich, savory broth and plenty of vegetables. We actually found ourselves asking for extra broth because it was that good! The bone-in short rib was fork-tender, packed with flavor, and one of those dishes you'll still be thinking about after the meal. Everything tasted thoughtfully prepared without feeling overly heavy. We also tried the Japanese lager. My husband, who's a big beer enthusiast and usually prefers bolder, heavier beers, thought it was a little too light for his taste. If you enjoy easy-drinking lagers, though, you'll probably love it. The service made the experience even better. Brandon was the only server covering about five tables, yet he never seemed overwhelmed. He took the time to walk us through the menu, explain how everything worked, and checked on everyone throughout our meal. It's always refreshing to receive service that feels genuinely welcoming rather than rushed. For a restaurant that's only been open a short time, they're off to a fantastic start. If you're looking for a cozy spot with flavorful food and warm hospitality, Kind Restaurant is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

Food here is always solid! Good flavors and creative dishes and portions are great! I haven't tried everything on the menu as I'm the type to find something I like and stick to it, but everything I've tried here is definitely a hit. The cocktails are worth noting to be handcrafted so if you like a good drink, you're in the right place. Service was excellent and quick even with how busy they were. They also offered a seasonal limited dessert menu item that I'm looking forward to trying to next time I'm here. Definitely check this pace out if you're looking for some great Asian cuisine.

For it being less than half an hour before closing, it was packed inside, with two sections of seating for various group sizes, and a casually loud interior with a counter full of water jugs and glass cups in front of a nice plant backdrop with the name of this place in lights. Menu serves a ton of Asian fusion dishes along with some regular entrees and a ton of cocktails and wine. From my sis's recommendation when she went, I got myself the banh mi smash burger after deciding between that and the Pho-rench dip my brother-in-law had. My friend got himself the La Vong fish sandwich, which I didn't get to try though we both did split an order of honey sriracha Brussel sprouts. - For the banh mi smash burger, think of ALL the essential ingredients of a standard banh mi sandwich; then put in a regular beef patty, throw in lemongrass beef as the other meat and add provolone cheese as a complement to the pate-mayo spread. That's what this is in a nutshell, and it tastes exactly like a banh mi sandwich as a result, only in burger form. This was an absolute hit and win for me; beef patty was juicy, condiments were fresh, lemongrass beef was equally as juicy, and the side of fries made this a very filling dish! - I normally don't like Brussel sprouts because of their similar taste profile to asparagus, but I ate a ton of the honey sriracha Brussel sprouts from here. It's sweet and tangy, both of which mask the oddly earthy and bitter tones of regular Brussel sprouts. They're also roasted which further gets rid of that bitter taste I don't enjoy. We rushed a little eating since they were close to closing but we loved everything we got here! I should start keeping a list of places like this one for places I need to make a second and even third visit to for their other dishes.

We got the Phnom Penh Kuy Tiew, Seafood Lort Cha, and Beef Skewers along with Sugar Cane Juice and Mango Smoothie. My Seafood Lort Cha was delicious. It was a bit oily but having it with the fish sauce combated it. The pin noodles were so much fun and bouncy to eat. The sugar cane juice was also refreshing and it was just freshly squeezed in front of us. My sister enjoyed her Phnom Penh Kuy Tiew, it had a rich pork broth similar to eating babaw. The Mango Smoothie probably wasn't as fresh though. I didn't taste it but my mom thought it wasn't. Lastly, the beef skewers. They were not as good and seemed a bit old tasting? The meat was a bit tough and the texture seemed off. I was satisfied with my dish though and might come back if I'm ever in the White Center area again to try their Nom Banh Chok Buffet.

I suspect they are a family business with mom as the cook, plus a son and a daughter as servers, which was the case on a quiet Sunday. The son as the server was bubbly and amicable as I asked questions about popular and favorite dishes. The food is excellent and flavorful, with plenty of leftover foods. Parking is readily available along the streets. The Food and Drinks: Beef Loklak Rice Plate, $20 - 5 Stars This is a hardy dish with flavorful pieces of beef, a fried egg, fresh greens, rice, and a bowl of soup. This dish by itself is a substantial meal. With the sides dishes we ordered, half of this went home. Lort Cha or Fried Pin Noodles with prawns, $20 - 4.5 Stars Available protein is seafood or beef. I requested prawns only, which they accommodated. Served with a side of fish sauce in a squeeze bottle, the server said to apply all over the dish. He also said this is his favorite dish. The food has very good wok hei like a Hong Kong noodle dish. I had plenty of noodles left to make a second dinner after adding veggies and protein. Beef Skewers, $18 - 4.5 Stars Five good size skewers with a dallop of pickled veggies. The seasonings are very distinctive. Oddly, the flavor reminds me of some Chinese style beef jerky. In any case, these are smoky, savory, and yummy. Papaya Salad, $16 - 4.5 Stars They use all the real, authentic ingredients here, including bits of tiny baby crabs. Be careful if you have sensitive gums. Sugar Cane Juice, $7 - 3.5 Stars I would think sugar can juice are all quite similar, but they are not. I didn't like theirs as much for some reason. It was a bit murkier. I probably won't order this in the future. Coconut Coffee, $7 - 5 Stars Our server recommended this. Coconut and coffee sound weird together, but this drink is a winner. Very unique, a touch of sweet, potent like a Viet coffee, and very distinctive. Thumbs up. They are probably closer to 4.5 Stars. Rounding up to support a family business.

My concern is not with the meal; it is with the overall hospitality we received. From the moment I entered the restaurant, I observed differences in how guests were greeted and engaged. Some guests were welcomed with smiles, courtesy, and friendly conversation, while my own initial interaction felt more reserved and minimal in comparison. After being seated, I waited approximately 15 minutes before anyone offered me water, despite the restaurant not being particularly busy. During that time, other tables around me were served water and received refills more promptly. I was waiting for my friend to arrive. Once my friend joined me, we were asked shortly after if we were ready to order, even though we had not yet had sufficient time to review the menu. Later, when we indicated that we were ready, the server took the menu and walked away without taking our order at that time. One interaction during the ordering process stood out. In general, I observed warm and friendly engagement between staff and other guests. When my friend asked a question, the response we received felt brief and less welcoming in tone and expression, which contributed to our overall impression of the interaction. Standing alone, a single expression or moment could be easily misread, and I would not base a review on that alone. However, within the context of the full experience, it contributed to our perception of inconsistency in service and attentiveness. That pattern continued throughout the meal. Some tables that ordered after us received their food before we did, and appeared to be served more quickly overall. We were also brought to-go boxes without requesting them while we were still eating and in conversation. This made us feel somewhat rushed to finish. The interaction when it came time to pay also felt brief and less engaging than expected. I can only speak to what I personally experienced. The concern here is not a single incident, but the overall pattern of service: delayed water, limited engagement at times, ordering delays, slower food timing compared to nearby tables, and feeling rushed toward the end of the meal. Again, the food was decent, and this review is primarily about the service. Based on our experience, the level of attentiveness and hospitality was inconsistent. For those reasons, my recommendation is maybe. Regardless of the cause, I believe every guest should receive consistent courtesy, professionalism, and attention.
