I have always gone to the one in Chinatown but I finally had an option to come here. The restaurant is right in the same complex of Lam's Seafood at Southcenter, right in the corner. Not a ton of seating but the food was delicious!! The service was decent although they were slow to refill our water. My mom loved the Banh Xeo as no other restaurant puts mung bean in it but this place did! My husband raved about the fish sauce for dipping our rolls in. My son loved the meatballs on a stick. My favorite was of course the duck noodle soup. read more

I'm convinced the only reason why this place gets busy is because of location. I went here and got Bun Mạng Vit and it was trash. Vietnam House (Chinatown location) used to be arguably one of the best places for Vietnamese food in Seattle (if you're Vietnamese) - now it could possibly be one of the worst. Sat down and got four trash bowls of noodle soup for $90 bucks. Everything used to be good here now everything sucks. Dead ass 4 pcs of dau hu ky is $23 and it's trash! Like I'm not tripping, I'll pay the money if it's fire but it's not.. ya know what I mean. Smh.... *sigh* read more

A very reliable place for Vietnamese food, with service that's hit or miss regardless of time of day. Still a very constant place I like to take friends and family! For this location and its other one in Chinatown, I like their bun rieu (crab vermicelli noodle soup), bun mang vit (duck noodles), most of their com tam (broken rice dishes) and even just their regular bun dishes (rice vermicelli). This time around, I got their bun cha Hanoi (Obama noodle) as it was listed as a special when I went with my family to eat on a Wednesday noon. Both kinds of meat were delicious, but I do wish they had more of that meat and also greens to balance the amount of vermicelli in the whole dish. I also ordered a side of fried tofu; there's nothing too special about this but I love how hot and piping it was when it came out. In general, service here is sporadic; in past visits it took a bit for servers to get to me when I wanted to order, and this ended up being the case for this particular visit as well. A good number of dishes on some tables took a long while to be cleared out, while there were groups of people waiting outside to be seated on those tables. Looking past that, I still consider this place and its Chinatown location a staple for Vietnamese food, and I was (and still am) a regular here before doing reviews. read more

Vietnam House - Bun cha Hanoi - Vietnamese Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

My go to place for Bun Mang Vit (duck salad noodles) and always my top suggestion for someone who look for Com Tam (Broken Rice) spot. I have eaten here for years and the flavor always hit the spot. The duck was perfectly prepared and accompanied well with the ginger fish sauce. A reminder is that they don't have Bun Mang Vit till 11am though so keep in mind. Take off 1 star because the service is hit or miss. Sometimes I feel very rush in and out. read more

I've always passed by this place whenever I'm at Lam's Seafood but it's always busy, and I go on the weekends so that's probably why. I came here on a weekday so it wasn't busy, I came to eat with my MIL. I've heard good things about this place so I finally got to try it. I ordered the combination pho, it was good but it wasn't that great. Broth was a little bland for me, so I had to add sriracha and hoisin to flavor the broth, I normally don't add anything extra but the garnishes, I like to taste the broth as is when I'm eating pho so it was a little upsetting. But I will be going back to try other items on their menu. read more

At a Vietnamese place, it's pretty much either pho and/or bahn mi and fresh rolls for me. This joint doesn't have bahn mi, probably cause the spot on the other side of the market does lol. So combination pho and fresh rolls it is. Everything looked very fresh and green. For the rolls in particular, they plated the huge lettuce leaves to flare out of the ends of the rolls in a way that looked appetizing. The rolls were nice and tight; nothing fell out, without the rice paper being too hard or too chewy. The noodles were fine and normal, as was the brisket and other stuff. My only major gripe would probably be the broth. I found the umami to be rather weak. Not weak enough that I would call it bad, but weak enough that I want to dock points. I will note that I have some bias in not being a purist about pho broth. I'll take a slightly dirty broth over a clear broth if it means I get much stronger umami. Still, overall, there's not much to complain about. Four stars seems default and fair. read more

I finally checked out this Vietnamese spot known for their com tam (broken rice) after hearing a lot of great things about it. I've been on the hunt for a good com tam place nearby, so I was excited to try it out. Overall, it was good, but I wouldn't say it was spectacular. The meat portion was on the smaller side compared to other places I've been to, and while it was cooked well, the flavor was a bit off for me--it had a slightly sweet taste that didn't quite hit the spot. This location is tucked inside Lam Seafood, so it's a bit awkwardly positioned and easy to miss. However, we had a party of 12, and we still managed to fit without much issue. read more

Vietnam House - Vietnamese Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

Located in the Lam grocery store. Smaller than the Chinatown location, more updated. Too updated that their payment system only allows credit card for one. They're unable to split the bill or do multiple payments. The food too longer to get to you and the portions are smaller than the Seattle chinatown location. Eventhough the Seattle location isn't as fancy, I like the portion side and quick service, and wher eyou can still pay with cash or split payments. read more

I guess this is a "to each their own" type of spot. We've tried a couple of times before and it's just not hitting the right notes for us. This time, we stopped by for some takeout fried rice: beef and tofu. The beef was definitely the superior of the two; the tofu fried rice was overcooked, greasy, and personally, I did not like the types (2) of tofu used - as I said above, this might be the ideal tofu fried rice for someone else. They use two types of tofu, one which my spouse suggested is a vegetable tofu made not just with soy; it's closer to what you find in Buddhist restaurants; and the other, to me, tasted spongey like they kind you get premade and keep in the freezer. I like fresh toasted soft tofu in my fried rice, so this was a DNF for me. They are friendly. They are relatively fast and they do their best to take care of the crowds of people that come here. It's in an awkward position in the corner of the building, with narrow spaces, but like I said, they do their best. read more

Food (4/5): I ordered the pho and the Hu Tieu, which were both great! The pho broth was very aromatic and clean, and they gave plenty of meat, although some pieces were very fatty, so next time I'd order the Pho Tai instead. The Hu Tieu broth had a bit of a celery taste, which was personally delicious to me, but next time I'd try the Hu Tieu hoac Mi Thap Cam, so I could have more texture with each bite from the alternating rice and egg noodles. Service (5/5): the restaurant fills up very quickly, even when we got there shortly after they opened, but our servers were very prompt and friendly. Ambiance (4/5): the restaurants very small and the restrooms next to the banh mi shop just a few restaurants down, but otherwise it felt very familiar and homey to me. Overall (4/5): I'd like to come back and try the other dishes I mentioned in the food section of my review, but for those who are looking to try their TOP seller, almost every table had the Bun Mang Vit, which a friend said paired well with the sauce! read more

The people here are so nice and they appreciate everyone and you can tell. The food is so good but they're really know. For the broken rice dishes. I usually get the broken rice dish but also add the meat cake on top becuase I want it all, if you do I'll let you know the portions are already generous and if you do you'll have left overs. For instance my mother and husband has had the same dish and spring rolls and none of us finished anything read more

Prices are high everywhere in Seattle, VN House is no different. Blame the politicians with their high taxes businesses are unfortunately burdened with. (Whole other subject) I did not include the high prices in this review for that reason, we can't fault business owners. Food is VERY authentic, soups are obviously the best items. If you come and review VNH for fried rice and tofu, do yourself a favor, just go to Panda Express. If you come for the real flavors and real culinary taste of Southern Vietnam, you won't be disappointed. Staff is always friendly and appreciates your business. It's a small place next to the Asian grocery store where tables are next to store front and windows, so have a realistic anticipation of decor and atmosphere. If you're hungry for the real deal, true flavor, aroma and organic ingredients....you know what to order Bun Mam, Bun Rieu Cua, Bun Ba Hue, ect read more

A small restaurant tucked inside the food court of Tukwila's Lam's Seafoods Supermarket with authentic Vietnamese staples. Do not come here expecting a great ambiance or attentive service because you will not be fulfilled. Instead, come for the great tasting foods, good sized portions and a one time water refilled and you're good to go. Some of their dishes are better than others but they are well known for their broken rice dishes. I also love their shaking beef over fried rice, grilled pork and egg roll vermicelli noodle and their $35 wrap your own roll tray (it's meant to be shared between two people). When you're done, go pay at the counter. Another tip that many find helpful is that bring cash if you can so you can avoid the silly surcharge or unauthorized tips magically appearing on your statement. read more

It took them quite a few moments before I was greeted then seated even though there were quite a few open tables. The bowl with the side topping came out as expected and tasted about average. What I often see at Vietnamese restaurants that I don't like is the lack of the small dipping plates and the full variety of condiments on the table. I was surprised that there were no music as Vietnamese restaurants typically do, unless they were using the supermarket's. read more

Vietnam House - Bún mắm - Vietnamese Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

1 star - Awful experience, not worth the money I've never been this disappointed at a Vietnamese restaurant. Vietnam House automatically charged a $20 tip to my credit card without asking or letting me choose the amount. Tipping should be voluntary--not something the restaurant forces on customers. This felt dishonest and manipulative. On top of that, the duck in the bamboo noodle soup was ice cold, like it had just come out of the fridge. For a dish that's supposed to be served hot, this is unacceptable. The total bill was unusually high and unclear, making me feel like I was blatantly ripped off. I will never return and strongly warn others to stay away if you don't want to lose money unfairly. read more

"THEY DELETED MY REVIEW ON GOOGLE" I honestly never leave bad reviews. I always try to give restaurants the benefit of the doubt, even if the service is slow or the food is just average. But this time I really can't keep quiet. This was absolutely disgusting. There was a whole cockroach, or some kind of bug, sitting in my bowl of bún bò Huế. I had only taken a couple bites when I noticed something floating in the broth. At first, I tried to convince myself it was just some herb or maybe a piece of meat that looked weird, because I didn't want to believe what I was actually seeing. But no, the longer I stared at it, the clearer it was. It was a cockroach. An insect in the middle of my food. I cant explain how nasty that felt. The thought that I might have eaten even a tiny bit of broth that had been touching that thing made me sick to my stomach. I couldn't take another bite, and honestly I lost my appetite, IMMEDIATELY. And what makes it even worse is that the food here is not cheap. For me, that's the end of it. I will never be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else risk it either. Goodbye, Vietnamhouse. read more

I've been going to the Vietnam House in the ID as my staple go-to for years and years. This was my first time at this relatively new branch and it was no disappointment. The same matter-of-fact, brusque service. Even the menu was the same. But what my wife and I always have was exactly as we remember from the ID location. The cold duck with congee for me, and the same cold duck with noodle soup for her. Now that we know, we will be back for the huge menu. Next to try will be their Viet charred-bbq broken rice or cold bun noodle dishes. We will be back!! read more

My mom and I really enjoy the food at this restaurant, and we visit twice a month mainly to have their Vietnamese Duck Noodle Soup (Mì Vịt Tiềm). While the food is great, the service could use some improvement, so don't expect a particularly friendly atmosphere. The restaurant is conveniently located, and the prices are reasonable. Just a heads-up: they add an 18% service charge for parties of five or more (including infants). I took pictures during our visit. read more

Trying this new location for the first time back in town. I missed their signature 1. Bun Mang Vit so that's what I got. The broth was not hot and not enough broth in my bowl My two nieces got their Chao Long and Banh Xeo...Chao Long came with Chinese donut so kudos for that and i heard from my niece banh Xeo was crispy. We also order togo Com Dac Biet & Bun Mam...and I've heard they were good. Two stars taken off mainly for service...food came out super late since they decided on making togo order is more important. The food didn't came out all at once, my bun Mang vit was luke warm by our third dish arrive ‍ Will we be back, when I crave bun Mang vit, yes, since this location is way more convenient ...bringing people for show...let's not look around and just bury our head in our food read more

This place is overpriced for the portion and food quality. Bun bo hue and pho were bit, barely had any meat or flavor. The duck noodles were just fine. The service is also not great. The lady was staring at us and not even coming to take our order when we were clearly ready. It got to the point where I just went up to the register to say the order since that's just ridiculous. Go to white center for better pho and bun bo hue. read more

I believe their Cơm tấm đặc biệt is if not the best in Seattle, their fish sauce isn't overly salty and instead it's just the right amount of saltiness for the dish, and everything in the dish, especially with the shrimp, pork chop and pickled veggies blend so well together, creating an excellent rice dish that hits the spot every time! read more

As someone who is Vietnamese and has had a lot of experience eating Vietnamese food and also grown a slight distaste for Viet food, I would say that this has been THE best place for Vietnamese food. I ordered the Com Tam Dac Biet, which translate to the special rice, more specifically, it is brown rice with grill pork chop and other assortments and sides. Every single thing in this dish was absolutely delicious, I wouldn't be surprised if the silverware tasted good. The restaurant itself is a part of the Lam Seafood Market, so it doesn't have the best atmosphere but it is still a comfortable and relaxing place to enjoy lunch with your friends and family. I do agree with the other reviewers that the service is not top-notch, but you go to a restaurant to eat. So if you can get over the fact that you won't receive the best staff service of your life, I highly highly HIGHLY recommending this place, or just order to-go :) read more

Vietnam House - 49. Com Tam Dac Biet (Broken rice with grilled pork chop) (~$16.00) - Vietnamese Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

The food was good, but the service was slow. Their to go orders piled up by the cashier for pick up and customers sitting on tables kept waiting for their orders to be served from the kitchen. It was a long wait for my lady's beef chow - fun to come while I almost finished my cold duck vermicelli. In contrast to the wait though, the food was good, aroma of the beef chow -fun filled the air when it arrived, and the taste was wonderful. My duck noodle was good too, duck meat was tender, juicy and full of savory favor. This place is busy with consistant customer traffic and non stop take out orders. Food quality is good, but lack of service is something which this business has a great room to improve! read more

My kids wanted to come here because they were craving com tam suon bo, so off we went. Man, I wish I didn't. I was having a good day until I came here. The young server with the curly hair was so unprofessional. He came to take the order and had all kinds of facial expression. I was wondering why he wasn't writing down the order. And of course, guess what happened? He didn't even remember to bring my 2 order of side soup. So when he came back, I reminded him of the missing order and he let out this long sigh like I was inconveniencing him. Like are you for real? And guess what? They never came back with the order. When I went to pay, I asked about it to make sure that I'm not paying for something that I never receive. The cashier gave me some lame excuse like the soup wasn't hot so they couldn't bring it out. But you serve pho at the next table. How does that work? How unprofessional. You couldn't bother to tell me though. For this reasons, I wouldn't return here. I rather go to Billiard Hoang where their food is 100x time and they have better customer service. I'll go where my money is welcome. read more

Vietnam House is located inside Lam's Seafood food court area (close to Scrubs & Beyond). It was quite busy for Saturday afternoon but we were quickly seated for table of 5. I always get #49 cơm tấm đặc biệt/ Vietnamese broke rice dish. It comes with grilled pork chop, shrimp on sugar cane, fried egg, deep fried bean curd, carrots and daikon, and a bowl of nước mắm/ fish sauce (they make good fish sauce; not too salty or sweet). One of the best broken rice dish in the area! Everything is so good and the portion is plenty for $15.50. -1 Service was bad lol. The young male server told us that if we wanted to order something to-go, now is the time to order because they might be busy, which was understandable. But the server seemed like he didn't want to be there and fed up too lol. We asked for 2 ice water and 3 hot tea, so he goes "Ok, so 5 hot teas it is." Later we asked for an iced water when he came to our table, then turned around, and while heading back yelled at someone saying to help him get ice water for this table because he's too tired. read more

Horrible service! I'm Vietnamese and I understand Asian restaurants don't have the best reputation for service but this was unacceptable. We came in around 3pm, maybe half the restaurant was full. We were seated and given menus. We saw two servers zip past our table SEVERAL times busing tables and delivering food. We tried multiple times to make eye contact and get their attention. Two larger parties of over 6 people walked in 15 minutes after we were seated and got water and were serviced before us. No one ever acknowledged us and they probably didn't even notice we got up and left. Literally given zero service. I will not be back nor will I ever invite anyone here if this is how they want to treat paying customers. read more

I prefer this location to the original one in Seattle. I've been there before and wasn't a huge fan after each try. This one hit the spot and wowed us. We love the bigger space, ease of ordering, and prices aren't horrible. We tried a couple noodle plates, chao long, and some rice plates. All were full of meat and goodies. Am definitely considering giving some other dishes a try. This is also easily accessible from the best buy entrance compared to the Lam's entrance! read more

So it's sad to say that this place is not friendly at all. It's not the best dining experience but the food is pretty good.

They never came to my table to refill my water and my daughters went to ask for the check and a to go box (seriously, they never came).
