The staff are Vietnamese so you can order in Vietnamese or English. Menu has a selection of appetizer, vermicelli bowls and pho, along with some non-Vietnamese dishes. Got a large bowl of oxtail pho. Large is $2 more than regular size and the difference in size seems worth it. Tasted like standard pho. Noodles and soup are decent. A few pieces of oxtail with soft, tasty meat. Not a lot meat, but beef is expensive these days, and for ~$18, it was okay. Overall, food was decent. Tasted as expected, not expensive. 3.5 stars round up to 4.

Food was good and came out on time. What we got: 2 glass of sangria Spicy crispy fish fillet (4/5) Good flavor nice and crispy. Not spicy enough tho. Combination chow mein (3.5/5) Good flavor; nothing crazy but it was good. Eggplant and green bean (3.5/5) Good flavor as well; but again; nothing crazy about it. They serve good foods; but it is in the middle of Belleveu so you will be paying that "Belleveu" price. Our bill were around $140 for the two of us. Which i think you can get the same kind of foods at other chinese restaurant for probably a bit more than half the price Would i recommend it? If you willing to pay that much; sure; their foods are good and we like it and hospitality was good I just dont think the price point is very balanced. Maybe they use better quality ingredients? I dont know; just couldnt tell since the dishes we order tasted just like something we could get at other chinese restaurants.

THIS IS THE SPOT. first of all, they have thai tea AND bubble tea AND vietnamese coffee AND egg banh mi (upon request) AND pho... i feel like so many places either have vietnamese coffee OR thai tea?? or they don't do egg banh mi?? this has ALL OF THEM secondly, huh???? that was a small?? i know pho "small" is always huge, but i feel like i usually slurp up all the noodles, and then i'm like... well now there's just broth... but if i ask for extra noodles, then i'm in noodle hell. this had noodles and meat the ENTIRE way through. idk how they did it. i think it's a mixture of extra noodles and also the broth was actually so noticeably delicious like i just kept just drinking spoonfuls of the broth when usually i'm pretty focused on the noodles. but this time i was balanced between noodles and broth and omg i am so full also the thai tea is so pretty!! it's not just like all bright orange, it looks so pretty and tastes awesome and then??? huh???? $25??? the price??? it's still crazy to me that pho prices have gone up so much over the years, but this feels like totally doable and not guilty at all also staff was very attentive!! and it was not super huge and busy, but also not dead!! i will definitely be coming back!!

The beef rib itself was really good, but the pho broth was pretty standard and didn't have much depth or complexity. Everything looked impressive, but the flavors didn't quite match the presentation. Staff were friendly and the experience wasn't bad at all, just a little underwhelming. It definitely satisfies a pho craving, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back.

With all the K-BBQ craze in the area, I'm so grateful for an authentic Korean restaurant with…read morenon-Westernized recipes. It is always clean, service is warm and friendly, and food is authentic as it can get on the eastside. They did flip flop a bit with their menu for a while, it seemed they were trying to figure out who they were catering to, and the menu unfortunately did become more American patrons oriented at the cost of eliminating hard-to-find authentic recipes they used to have. I hope they stay true to making their own broth and using quality ingredients!

One of my close friends recommended Bon Korean Cuisine and so I came here with a couple of friends…read morefor lunch the other day. Bon is located in the same plaza as H-Mart and so they have a shared parking lot or you could walk over from Redmond Town Center which is just a block away. The inside is surprisingly large with at least twenty tables, which is bigger than most Korean restaurants that I've seen on the Eastside. At 11:45am on a Saturday, my group of three had no problem getting a table. Their menu is extensive and has all the Korean food classics including seafood pancake, soondubu (stone pot tofu soup), galbi jjim (beef stew), Toppokki, bibimbap, and cold noodles (spicy and non-spicy versions). Their entrees are around $20 each, but some larger hot pot dishes (meant for 2-3 people) can be up to $70. I ordered the BULGOGI BIBIMBAP (~$24). Unfortunately they don't serve stone pot Bibimbap here, but the portions are large and beautifully presented. My dish came with plenty of fresh vegetables- pickled carrots and cucumbers, sesame bean sprouts, daikon kimchi, lettuce, and marinated black mushrooms (which I've never had in Bibimbap before but was soooo good) on top a bed of fluffy white rice! The egg was cooked perfectly over easy and the meat was marinated well too- I do wish the dish came with more meat though. They give you your typical sweet and spicy gochujang red sauce on the side as well as white vinegar and mustard sauce for added flavor. Service was fantastic and you get complimentary hot tea and ban chan (which are refillable). The ban chan included cucumber kimchi, daikon kimchi, sesame bean sprouts, kimchi, fish cake, and sesame choy. All employees were very friendly and made you feel at home. The inside is clean, but the only reason I'm giving them 4 stars is that they have an Okay health rating and not a Good or Excellent health rating. I didn't look up the exact violations, but it would be great to see an improvement in score. Overall: 4/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere

There was some iffy planning on a Bellevue teriyaki restaurant's part when they locked my two…read morefoodie friends and me out of eating there an hour and a half before closing with no explanation, so we found this place instead. One of my friends and I have already had their location in Georgetown countless times so we were happy to recommend our choices for our other friend this Friday evening around 7pm. Welp, we came into very full seating inside an extremely tight yet cozy seating area if it weren't for all the noise from there being so many people inside. It was so full and more people kept lining up behind us that we decided to do takeout and eat our food on the hood of my car despite spaces opening up as we waited about 20 or so minutes for our food... did I mention the parking lot for this place was nearly full and spots were very unforgiving in elbow room? Also that it's peak dinner time? Anyway, you place your order on a lone kiosk up front which did contribute to the really long line forming near the outside entrance. Like their Georgetown location, they offer a ton of hearty donburi and some appetizers and soup. Staff were a little rushed with some orders and forgot to give me utensils when I requested them through the kiosk but this didn't affect my overall experience, as I went back and they were more than happy to give them to me. We got their unagi donburi, which consists of a ton of broiled freshwater eel with an umami seasoning and tender juiciness, all on top of a huge bed of rice and with some radish. One of my friends instead got their una-gyu donburi which is a mix of unagi and sukiyaki beef, though that means we all got their unagi. Eel wasn't too salty, and scales are very fine and small that you can just eat it as is. This was a warming, hearty meal that sat very well with me and my friends. For this location and the one in Georgetown, I am most certainly coming back for some more!

My family got the aburi sake and volcano donburis and enjoyed their food as well. They have a wide variety of donburi options - fish, meat, katsu, and tofu. Definitely look forward to coming back for more. Not a large restaurant so the tables can fill up quite fast. Order at counter or kiosk and they serve the bowls to your table. You bus your own table after.

The location in Old Bellevue is great, and the interior offers plenty of seating. The service was extremely quick, and the staff made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. The Dan Dan Noodles are hands down the absolute best around, beating out versions from many other places. Another standout was the Green Onion Soy Sauce Noodle, for the flavor was unbelievably delicious. The dumplings are another huge highlight. The chicken dumplings stood out immediately because the chicken inside was so juicy and succulent, paired with a wrapper that hit the perfect texture without being too thick or chewy. The shrimp and zucchini steamed dumplings were also delicious, while the chicken potstickers were just okay in comparison. A special mention has to go to the chili oil served with the dumplings, which turned out to be the ultimate condiment. Whether picking up takeout or sitting down inside, the food and quality stayed consistently impressive.

This location has a shared parking lot with plenty of spots and there were plenty of tables available 6:30 - 7:30 PM on a weekday. Beef Noodle Soup (2.5/5): Just every aspect was a mid. Beef could be a bit more tender, noodles were too soft, and the soup was just okay. Definitely a skip. Minced Pork (3.5/5): The flavor of the meat is actually solid: super savory, fatty, and slightly sweet. I wish that there was more of the sauce to soak into the rice, but it's not a bad rendition by any means. Popcorn Chicken (3.5/5): Chicken was actually cooked really well - great crispy crunch and the meat was juicy and tender. However, the actual flavor was super bland. With more salt and more seasoning, this could have been a really solid dish.
