    Shrimp chips

    Discover an amazing Vietnamese Deli nestled in the charming neighborhoods of Lynwood and Edmonds. Don't miss the opportunity to visit if you happen to be in the Edmonds and Lynnwood vicinity! Great prices and their ban mih sandwich are made fresh and delicious! They have a wide variety of other Vietnamese and southeast asian dishes like spring rolls, friend rolls, rice and meat combo. Tried their Vietnamese coffee and it's just the right blend and amount of kick! Service is fast and efficient! Family owned and friendly staff! Would recommend this place if you're in the Lynnwood and Edmonds area.

    Hot food!

    We've been here a few times before but thankgoodness they are open on christmas eve! We stopped in for 3 banh mi sandwiches, nem neung meatballs and 2 egg rolls. Their banh mis are super heavy, full with fillings. The ingredients are fresh and sandwiches are made to order. The service is pretty fast and friendly. The renovated the interior so it looks modern and clean. No seats to eat inside as it's a deli (Togo only). They also take catering orders in advance.

    Signature BBQ Pork sandwich

    My family has been coming to this place for the Signature BBQ Pork sandwich for many years. This place is take-out only, no eating-in. They also carry many other varieties of snacks and food. We came here again on a Tuesday. The staff was friendly as usual, and the space was clean. The only downside is that it is cash only. Parking is easy as there is a parking lot.

    Stopping by Seattle Deli this morning, Wednesday 17 May 2023, around 8:40 a.m., I saw the posting on one of the doors as I entered showing four different Bahn Mi options. The signature BBQ pork one looked good, so I made my way inside and placed my order. There were two workers behind the counter in the front of the deli, the one who took my order and one who made the sandwich. Both were friendly. The price was $7.00, I paid cash. Other items were on sale by the cash register area as well, though I stuck with just the Bahn Mi. After getting my food I made my way to my car to eat it before heading south to Ballard to get some items as a way of observing Norwegian Constitution Day. The bread of the sandwich was crispy and tore well when bitten into. A hearty amount of the signature BBQ pork was well distributed in the sandwich, so there were not really bites without meat. The meat chunks were a good size and I loved the flavor of the pork. The vegetables were fresh, crunchy, colorful, and flavorful. Sauce lightly coating some of the vegetables and spread on the inside of the bread was enough for its taste to shine without contributing too much of a creamy texture. All around pleased with my first Bahn Mi experience.

    Banh mi are $7 each here and quite tasty! It's a great spot to pick up something quick and convenient. I like the grilled pork and the special with the different types of pork. Call ahead to place larger orders.

    Wow, i did not think I would find a Vietnamese sandwich place that would rival Saigon deli in Seattle! The banh mi thit nuong is loaded ... there is serious weight to it! The breading was perfection... toasted and does not have that old bread in the fridge toasted taste. The veggies were fresh and bountiful. The pork were good but no grill marks I feel like the Mayo they use is lighter compared to Saigon deli. All in all, their banh mi thit nuong is well put together that strive in all the ingredients. Now the cold cut sandwich, I felt the pate was falling short in deep flavor compared to the one at Saigon deli. It is super hard to decide who will come out on top, will have to do a side by side comparison but Seattle deli Defin dominated the viet sandwiches up north while Saigon deli takes the lead in downtown seattle. Service was friendly and quick, I came before they open and they still made my sandwiches! Prolly standard for a Vietnamese joint. Ambiance, it is a small quaint clean deli that focus on a few items.

    pate chaud

    this little vietnamese deli is located in the Boohan Plaza in edmonds. PC (pre- covid), the Seattle Deli had steam trays full of fresh, delicious food and desserts. now, the hot food is limited but is equally delicious. Bun Rieu: delicious crab flavor. there's plenty of noodles and tons of fresh veggies and the pork sausage. a great value for $10.95 Com Suon Ram - pork chop - looks even better than their menu picture. one giant loin chop, bun, tomatoes, steamed egg, and fresh crispy lettuce. the loin chop was tender and well-seasoned. a very good deal at $9.95 Bahn mi: i always order the cold "special". i like that they are very generous with the schmear of pate even if the price has increased to $5. their bread is crispy outside and fluffy inside in the cold case: pate, rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. the cold bun dishes are still available for quick grab and go as well as the refrigerated pate, the chilled desserts and other cold-case items. in the hot case: pate chaud! i like the pastry for this iteration much more than the original pate chaud in the cup-style pastry. there are so many different things to try. the young man at the counter is very helpful and is never too busy to answer any questions. highly recommended if you want to try Vietnamese food that's not pho.

    Been coming here since I was little and they have a great selection of Vietnamese food here! Love their banh mi and it comes at a great price

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.

    Food: the broth for the pho was really yummy and the duck noodle soup was very clear. I was…read moresurprised with the duck noodle soup because I thought it was just the big bowl of noodles, but then they brought out a large plate filled with duck meat and vegetables. I was very impressed with the portions and the meat was very tender and well broken down. The brisket in the fire was super tender and yummy and the portions were good as well. Parking: you can park in the tiny strip mall, but it will fill up and I'm not sure what to do when they run out of spots. Service: we had no issues with the service, but the table next to us seems to have gotten a lot of orders mixed up and wrong so make sure you repeat your order and clarify what you want. It's a small hole in the wall place.

    Food and drinks are great however service, atmosphere, and consistency are lacking…read more My most recent visit was Saturday 06/06/26. I hadn't been back since a previous bad experience almost a year ago now and wanted to give this place another try. Same bad service. The bad service I received almost a year ago that made me stop coming to this place was I stopped by for lunch and got a grilled pork banh mi and asked for little to no/ very light mayo or whatever spread is on it as the visit before was too much for me and wanted to avoid that... Staff wasn't friendly that day. When I was eating the sandwich instead of little to no mayo it had globs like no exaggeration a lot/too much mayo spread for me so I did tear off a piece of the bread that I couldn't get the mayo off of and tried to take off the other globs and continued eating. I did not waste food. I just wasted the globs and a small piece of bread. I bussed my own table as that seems to be un clear if you do or don't and put the trash in the trash(globs of mayo +piece of bread) and plate near the counter. A staff member exited the kitchen and walks towards the register near the trash can and she proceeded to open the trash can and keep it open, looked at me and asked how was everything. I was honest and told her I always enjoy the food however today too much mayo and she just kept peering down at my trash in the trash and then her coworker exited the kitchen to join the convo and no sorry or anything...just kept her foot on the trash to keep it open and both employees looked at the trash and looked at me rudely so I told them thank you have a nice day and was off put by the experience. They were treating me like I was wasting or complaining. It was truly so weird like why keep the trash open and almost like try to embarrass me or treat me like I did something wrong? Also why no smiles, why no empathy. I don't like mayo..big deal! I still ate that whole sandwich! Recent visit on 06/06/26. Walked in and cafe wasn't busy, but trash on the floors and dirty tables. Two women. One seemed to be in training. No smiles, no welcome in, just a frown (no joke the woman training the other I believe was frowning and she looked mad) and a what can I get you? I ordered for dine in but was given to go box and to go utensils. I have to assume they just didn't want to do the dishes as one couple had dine in plates and were actually pointing to each other the trash on the floor and discussing their meal. I ordered the pho banh mi so I wouldn't have to worry about a mayo situation tbh. Food was flavorful and good. Portions seem to be a bit smaller than what I remember. If they added actual pho to the menu I bet it would be a hit! To-go ordering seems the popular thing here and if I return is what I'll do. Just sad as this used to be my fav spot but now I've found a better place with better service and food. Drinks here and food is super tasty but wish service, cleanliness, and atmosphere could be improved! Service is important and with my past two visits I feel it's a very unwelcoming atmosphere with the staff being hostile and cold and cafe seating indoors and outdoors are dirty. For me when spending my money somewhere I don't want to be treated poorly or like I'm an inconvenience or just being tolerated. The service leaves such a bad impression that it makes me avoid this place now when I used to recommend it.

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!
