    #33. Banh Mi with complimentary broth, tea, and water.

    Amazing food and service, never felt so at home with their ambiance. Everyone needs to eat here now

    45. Pho Ga (flavorless)
    Christina M.

    I accidentally ordered from this Thanh Vi rather than my usual (U District). After reading the reviews, I prepared myself for the worst. And while it wasn't quite that bad, it also wasn't very good. The chicken was ice cold when it arrived. The broth didn't smell very flavorful but I was hopeful (despite numerous reviews to the contrary), and pumped it full of sriracha and hoisin. To no avail, it seems. The broth is eternally flavorless. It's edible and there was a ton of shredded chicken, which won it the 3 stars, but there's no way I'll order from here again. Half my interest in pho is the broth and this lacked on all fronts, especially for the price point.

    Shrimp and pork bun

    Parking can be tricky despite a shared small parking lot, but the food is worth a stop. Huge portions, plenty of seating, quick service, good value and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of flavors, fresh ingredients, and really tasty and juicy meat. Got my usual pork and shrimp bun and was already craving more as I polished off my bowl. Note we sat at the table for a while before I realized they don't bring you the check (or rush you out the door) so you pay up front before you leave.

    Spring rolls!

    We came here on Labor Day Monday around 8 pm. I swear most of the Vietnamese restaurants around the area were closed. We wanted something cheap and quick and settled on this spot. At first I wasn't too excited because of the ratings, but I am so glad we went! They had the best smoothies/bubble tea drinks! Too bad they were out of boba, but the jelly they added to our blended mango and papaya smoothies was yummy! They also add the crispy stick in the spring rolls! Peanut sauce was a lil runny though. We ordered: - beef bahn mi - vermicelli bowl - spring rolls - mango jelly bubble tea - papaya jelly bubble tea It was all good! Will need to try their pho next time, it was too hot to try it Monday lol

    Thanh V Rice dishes.

    Thanh v rice combo. Their egg cake (ch trng ) was cold, and their shredded pork skin (bì) was like clear noodles and cold as well. Their sugarcane shrimp doesn't taste right at all, it was like egg wrapped sugarcane. Not worth the price of $12 or $14 with tax. Go to Vietnam house is better. I wish I went there. Never go here again. Their service was okay, no complain.

    Best pho in Seattle. I come here once a week, and it's the best hangover cure. They have a huge menu and everything that I've ever had is always a hit. I also loveeee the fresh rolls -- they have the fried wrapper in it so you get some nice texture and the peanut sauce is perfect. I also really like the banh xeo here. The service is also speedy and servers are very kind.

    Best Vietnamese we've had since moving to WA! As my pics show we ordered many of our "old go-to's" so we would be able to give a fair assessment. Of course they've got take home containers! A clean comfortable friendly environment greeted us. Noticeable "take-out" business which is a plus. The menu is impressive covering all desires for the Vietnamese tastes. We did note that the "sauces" (peanut, fish) and Pho broth were somewhat mellow/muted in flavor for what we're accustomed to. The "noodles" are rice vermicelli and were good. The fried rice was very good and the seafood/meats were good quality and well presented. The only big disappointment was the Cha Gio, sadly it was flavorless and dry.

    The plazas parking lot is so tiny and so bad. People are always parking where they shouldn't. And your biting your nails in fear staring out the window of people trying to park only an inch from your bumper. Like most Asian restaurants not to much customer service. They take your order and leave you alone to eat your food. They did have free wifi and I think 3 flat screen tv's with the game on. My dad wanted to eat here and he ordered the bun mam and it had a really strong but good and addicting broth. I ordered the Com Tam Dac Biet. It was decent. The pork chop and bi was good. The shrimp cane was ok and I don't like egg cake in general. Overall, it was ok, I'd come back only if my dad wanted to.

    I have had a llllllllllloooooooooooong history w/ this place! Been going here since the early 90s. So many memories.. the big broken rice plates they used 2 have for $5 back in the day w/ huge portions of egg cake, pork chop n they used 2 have tomato slices that came w/ it.. how this place used 2 have a level higher than the floor in the back, the light blue uniforms 1 of the most recent owners implemented, the renovations, the different owners this place had, probly went thru 3 or 4 since then.. w/ each owner, 1 after the other diminishing the quality of the food @ this place.. (yes, different owners bring different cooks n systems n times r different, 1 can make that argument).. the previous owner left 2 open up Origins here on Downtown 2nd Avenue.. @ 1st that place was good, but their quality is suffering as well but getting back 2 the current state of this restaurant.. it is just a shadow of its former glory self this time, it did not help.. when I come here, I usually order their broken rice dish, but I tried their beef stew instead, hoping it will b good, but it fell way short as well.. the dish had nice aroma 2 it, but the dish needed more flavor n it contained 2 much fatty meat n not enough lean portions of beef that tenderly flake off.. quite sadly, the baguette was the only highlight of it the iced coffee was ok I had some pork chop n egg cake from my mother's dish of broken rice n the pork was overdone, the cake needed more flavor service was decent restroom was clean b4 Yelp n during its "Glory Days", this place was supreme.. now it is just a place 2 reminisce of the good times past

    Pho Dac Biet at Thanh Vi.
    Mike M.

    Needing a recovery meal a day after a party, I decided to go to Thanh Vi for some pho. I ordered their pho dac biet which includes thin sliced steak, well done steak, beef tendon, tripe, & meatball. Being presented w/ the dish & trying the pho, it was honestly very disappointing. No matter how much hoisin sauce I drenched into the pho, it didn't make it any better. I almost wanted to throw up after eating it. In my opinion, this by far has to be one of the worse pho I have ever had. Coming here to recover, only to leave needing more recovery.

    Pork hotpot w/ grill pork bun bowl!!
    Brianna F.

    I've ordered delivery from here a few times, but last night was the first time I dined in. The food is pretty tasty. Five stars mostly for the huge portion sizes!! Their hotpot is listed as large enough for two, but I'm pretty sure it's enough for three or four people. We had each ordered an entree plus a hotpot to share and it was wayyyy to much food! (Which definitely is not a bad thing!) Will definitely be back to dine in again!

    I am super picky about Vietnamese food so it was great to find this place. Really enjoyed the food, which is rare for most of the places I've gone to around the Seattle area. There was nothing that I tried, that I didn't like. Also they have a parking lot, which is very helpful to find free parking in the International District! Both the waitress & the owner/manager seemed very friendly. Please note that this is NOT affiliated with the Thanh Vi in the University District, completely different place. I hope you will take a look at my photos of all the yummy food and drink we had. It's hard to say what my favorite was: possibly a tie between the spring rolls or one of the beef dishes. Prices are also pretty reasonable :)

I received a promo for $5 off so I tried to use it the previous time, but she didn't know how to apply it. Then another time when I order The Caribbean Plato with pulled roasted pork, when I got home, I discovered the wrong type of meat (grilled pork instead of pulled pork). For these reasons, I didn't go back for a long time. Today, I went again to get take out for my visitors. I called in the order so I didn't have to wait, but Gisela didn't understand my order and kept getting it wrong. I ordered 3 Caribbean Plato with pulled pork, and 1 Caribbean Plato with chicken thigh, but she kept repeating the wrong order back to me (2 pork, instead of 3, wrong type of meat, etc), so I tried it again and again, still no comprendo. I got frustrated and told her that I would just come in person to order. I was in a hurry, but I had no choice. When I got there, I ordered the same thing, but this time, I gestured the type of pork I wanted, using my hands to show pulled and tried to explain that I wanted the shredded kind, not the solid kind). Someone was with me so he heard my order in plain English. As I was waiting for my order, I decided to ask her once more just to be sure that it wasn't the grilled pork bc she made that mistake last time. Then she said my meat was grilling now. I was alarmed since they don't get the pulled pork from the grill. I told her that I wanted PULLED ROASTED PORK, not the solid grilled patty kind. She said something in Spanish to the guy who was putting my order together and he showed me a sample of the pulled pork so I said "YES" that's the one I want. She said they were already cooking the grilled pork. When I told her that she was giving me the wrong order, she said "it's too late". I was so upset so I said, "why is it so hard to understand my order?" Pulled pork is pulled pork, not grilled pork. I never even mentioned the word "grilled". A guy came out from the kitchen so I explained myself and he said what I want is the pulled roasted pork and I said, "that's what I ordered". She tried to explain something to him in Spanish, but he told her to just give me the pulled pork and I was on my way. She just ruined my day, and I could feel my blood pressure rising. I don't think I will ever return again. It's too hard to explain the right kind of meat to Gisela. Dining out and getting take out should be a pleasant experience, not a stressful one.

We were able to get food on a Saturday around 4PM, and fortunately Big Mike's was one of the few places still open at the time. The armory is pretty accessible via the monorail, if you decide to drive, you will have to consider nearby streetside or venue/science center parking. Service is efficient - you place your order at the counter and they will call your name when your sandwich is ready. It took them about 10 minutes to get our sandwich out. There are plenty of tables just outside of the restaurant where you can dine. We got the ribeye cheesesteak for $23, which also came with a bed of fries just underneath the sandwich. The sandwich itself was piping hot, but just hot enough to enjoy without burning yourself. The steak was tender and had decent chew, sliced to a nice thinness. Personal preference, I would like the steak seasoned a bit more strongly as flavor-wise it does get a little one dimensional. This is definitely a touristy area part of town, and I would say that prices are pretty standard. For one person, you should be able to get a nice and filling portion for $18 - $23. I wouldn't consider this place a must visit if you are in Seattle - The flavors are decent and definitely will get you full in a pinch if you are really hungry and in the area.

The interior is cozy and old world city vibes. Not a ton of seating and it can take a bit for getting your sandwich. It took 30-40 minutes to get our sandwiches at lunch time. After we already had waited in line. There was a line out the door when we got there. You order on a tablet and several people in front of us were quite slow ordering and it made the line take awhile. We waited at least 10-15 minutes in the line. They have an order ahead option I would utilize next time. The seasonal soup was kale and potato. It was very bland and watery. I wouldn't get it again. The bread was tough and chewy. You definitely get a jaw workout. Both of the warm sandwiches could have used a side of Au jus to soften the bread. The meat looks generous, but they do the sandwich trick. You fold the meat in the middle to make it look generous. But the ends are basically devoid of meat. Maybe a sliver. Flavors were really good. The mustard on the Cubano had a nice kick. Porchetta had a kick from the chimichurri and pickled peppers. Both were a little spicy and my son didn't love it so we ordered him a cold ham sandwich without the mustard. The cold meats are high quality as well, but definitely a little plain compared to the warm sandwiches. Overall 5/10 experience though. More evenly distributed meat and softer bread it would be A solid 10/10.
