If you're looking for flavorful and authentic Vietnamese food, this is the place to go. I loved stopping by after classes for a bánh mì, and my favorites are the Combo and the Beef Bánh Mì. Whenever Seattle's cold, rainy weather had me missing home, or whenever I was craving a hot, comforting bowl of pho, this was always my go-to spot. The Beef Pho is hands down my favorite dish here and one of my favorite meals to order. I also branched out and tried their Pad Thai, and it was just as amazing. One of the reasons I love this place so much is the people. Every time I came in, I was greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome. Over time, I became close with the manager because of how often I visited, and those friendly interactions made this restaurant feel even more like home. The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful, which made every visit even better. I recently brought my family here on my last day in Seattle, and they absolutely loved it. As someone who was often far from home, I'm so grateful this restaurant was close to campus. It gave me a place to enjoy my comfort food whenever I was feeling homesick, and it became one of my favorite spots in Seattle. Thank you for all the delicious meals during my year in Seattle. read more

Time Bistro is one of my go to stops on the ave in Udistrict! I'm vegetarian and I love the separate veggie menu they have along with their meatless options that you can get instead of tofu, which they don't usually charge extra for! Service is incredibly fast once you place an order, and the space inside is pretty decent sized and never gets too full or crowded, so you'll always find a table. Love the Singapore noodles and Pho options. Portion sizes are also very large for the price, a single dish will literally give me two meals haha. Great spot that I'll keep coming back to! read more

Fast service with great food! The space is very cozy, with plenty of seating. What you pay is what you get, I've only gotten banh mi sandwiches here, but I'd love to try their noodle dishes! I tried a little of my friends pad Thai and was impressed by the large portion and flavor. read more

Time Bistro - Pork banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

For what you're paying you should get double the order. Their food is 6.8/10 but the amount is literally 1/10. I ordered a vermicelli bowl and my pork came own two skewers and then I got maybe 5 bites of actual vermicelli. I thought maybe it was a vermicelli sampler! read more

We both ordered the Grilled Chicken Vermicelli. Portion was well sized and it had a lot of chicken. Would have liked more basil and perhaps not the best I've had, but solid and well priced. The woman working there was friendly and the food was ready quickly. read more

Time Bistro is a local favorite in the heart of the U District. It's a casual and cozy space perfect for a quick and simple meal. The service is consistently fast and friendly, even when it gets busy with students. They have a full display of vegan and vegetarian options that mirrors their regular offerings. Some locals told me the Banh Mi sandwiches are easily one of the best in Seattle and I was disappointed that I didn't get to try one myself. We wound trying this Bbq fried rice dish and a sampler of their most popular appetizers. Definitely a neighborhood gem for quality Vietnamese comfort food at a fair price. read more

Needed food and found this spot. Walking inside you see tables and the register in front. They have a QR Code menu or a regular menu. I ordered the Beef Short Rib Plate, Garlic Butter Wings & Strawberry Lemonade . Beef Short Ribs were good....Garlic Butter Wings were good....Strawberry Lemonade was good. If you're in the area swing by and check this place out. read more

It's just okay - classic Ave-type place that has decently-priced entrees, with relatively modest portions. The grilled pork skewers on the vermicelli bowl were straight up disappointing (and the meat was dyed red to boot - hellllo Red 40). The fried tofu was overcooked and had an odd aftertaste, probably due to old fryer oil. For the money, there are better places up and down the block. Service is friendly and efficient, which is why this is a 3 star, and not a 2, for me. I don't feel the need to come back again, however. read more

I ordered a beef banh mi sandwich and it was the best beef banh mi I've had! Beef banh mi from other restaurants I've been to are not as delicious as Time Bistro's. The amount of fillings gave a balance profile and the French bread wasn't too big, thick or overly toasted-- it doesn't hurt the roof of my mouth. It still had a good crunch though! The service was quick, thorough, and friendly. I'm definitely coming back to try other items on the menu. read more

Picked up food here and it was delicious! I like how they have a vegetarian menu, it was very convenient for us to order that way. My bf usually does not like noodle dishes but through the vegan chicken chow mien was delicious! I got a chicken Banh mi and it was very good, I like how there was enough sauce and plenty of chicken. Most places are stingy with the meat and give too much bread, but the one here had great bread to chicken ratio. Pick up was quick and easy, even with a crowded restaurant. read more

Time Bistro - Beef Pho, Grilled Chicken Rice Vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great food and a nice spot to check out if you're in the U-district area! It's a casual little spot with tables inside. Service is friendly and it was nice because they did split checks for us. They have a vegetarian menu which is separate from their regular menu and my friend with some dietary restrictions really appreciated this! Lots of options for vegans as well. I got their combo noodle bowl which included pork skewers and an egg roll over noodles and salad. Very refreshing and well balanced. The meat was tender and very flavorful. The sauce could have been a little more tangy but still pretty solid. read more

As of right now, I thought this was alright for Vietnamese food but, I do think that it is a good convenient place for UW students since its place on the Ave. The inside was kinda small, and the staff was really nice and welcoming. Anyway going onto the food, maybe I had ordered the wrong thing because I felt like I wasn't getting my money's worth with the vermicelli bowl (portion size). I was there with my friends and I thought the pho seemed more worth it and good. Then lastly I also tried the tofu appetizers but I thought they were ok too. But I will come back to try other things! read more

The food was ok, but the cherry blossom dessert was rotten after the final day and they still sold it. I got a bad stomach bug, what did I do wrong except visit them?! Previously it was ok, the banh mi and Pho.. the lady is nice and polite. But sometimes I feel the other staff are not so cool and act more robotic. They don't even give you sprouts if you ask read more

Favorite place to get Vietnamese on the Ave. As an Asian in Seattle - it's been a struggle to find what's culturally in line with what I was raised with. This is a calm place. The service and menu are wonderful. We will always come back. read more

Super quick, friendly service and the food was hot and tasted great. My husband got the pho and I got a vermicelli veg bowl. We hadn't planned on going here but gave it a try. Super glad we did! read more

I ordered Singapore Rice Vermicelli and Crispy Eggroll. The Vermicelli was Italian pasta, yuck! The Crispy eggroll was placed in a plastic container right out of the fryer, so there was melted plastic on all of the eggrolls. The food at Time Bistro could've been better. read more

This place is FANTASTIC for vegetarians and vegans. They have a whole veggie menu with veggie or vegan versions of just about everything and more than one protein choice or option too. I would come back just for that but the Thai tea, bahn mi, and egg rolls were tasty so I also liked that. I'd love to come back and try the soup. Service was good and ambiance was nice. It looks kind of unassuming from outside and the sign is smaller and up high so you could almost miss it but inside is nicely furnished and clean (not always what I come to expect from restaurants in this area as it's so close to UW). I'd definitely come back and recommend to veggie, vegan, or meat-eating folks. read more

Received some catered Banh Mi from Time Bistro for an event. There were 4 flavor options: beef, pork, chicken, and tofu. We also ordered salads for those who were vegan. I chose the beef Banh Mi. It was delicious even though it was cold. The beef was tender and it was very filled with all the fillings -- cilantro, jalapeños, carrots, pickled radish, etc. the bread didn't get soggy even a few hours later. One serving was a good portion and kept me full. Because this was a catered item, I cannot report on the restaurant location, parking, service, or such. read more

Visiting from California and ordered delivery of the beef pho with rare steak and meat balls. Seriously SO GOOD. Definitely very impressed and the broth had lots of flavor but didn't taste overly sugary/sweet or like it had a lot of MSG. Was just perfect and so delicious ! Ended up eating it so fast. I wish they gave more noodles in the to-go order. Usually I have leftovers but this was one of the few times I finished the whole bowl, maybe because it was sooo tasty or it was bit small. The Thai basil and the bean sprouts were very fresh and clean. Definitely eating here again next time I am in Seattle. I'm a Vietnamese American and have plenty of pho at various restaurants in my life and was very pleased with the pho. read more

My friend and I came here for dinner last week. It was my first time but he had been here many times before. I ordered the Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli Bowl (Bún). My friend ordered the pork chop, which I thought would be fried, but looked like a big piece of charsiu with the bone. In the past, he said he's also ordered the chicken combo bowl which he said is also very good. He also highly recommended the Ube Ice cream, but neither of us had enough room for dessert that day. Service was quick and we got our food within 15 minutes of ordering. The lemongrass chicken was tender and had a nice sweet and savory taste to it. I also enjoyed the assortment of vegetables, pickled carrot and daikon, and the fish sauce dressing. While I didn't have leftovers, the portion was definitely enough to satiate me. The restaurant is small, but wasn't super crowded when we went. There were also a lot of people doing takeout. Overall, 4/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere read more

This place is like moonlight! It was pretty good too. Food came out quickly, service was fine, restaurant is clean and open. We ordered the vegan Mongolian beef, vegan tuna fish and tofu phad tai. Everything was flavorful and delicious. Moonlight stopped serving the vegan tuna dish, so it was exciting to be able to get it here (and it tasted just as good). Only thing is it's a little pricey, mainly the phad tai, everything else made sense price wise. read more

Time Bistro - Tofu Pad Thai, Lemongrass Vegan Tuna Fish, Mongolian Vegan Beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

TLDR: fresh veggies and tasty. Parking: street parking only. Good luck. Atmosphere: tiny restaurant with very limited seating. Probably best to get ToGo during peak hours. They churn out orders pretty quickly though. Menu: there are two separate menus--one with meat and one for vegetarians. Combo Bahn Mi: bread is nice and fluffy with a good chew. There was a tad too much Mayo in there for my liking but it was very flavorful and all the veggies tasted fresh! The pate had a nice flavor and there was a generous amount of it--it squeezed out the sides of my sandwich with each bite; like a hydraulic press and play dough. House special Chow Mein: nice flavor that's not too overpowering, veggies very fresh and crunchy. Veggie pieces were also in nice big chunks. I love the egg noodles for their texture-- Aldente all the time! read more
