Ohmygod, I had some of the best Vietnamese food I've ever had at this restaurant! They have so many vegan and vegetarian friendly options. The vegan pho broth is literally to die for and I will be craving it until I come back. It was extremely flavorful without being too salty, and it was such a comforting bowl of broth. I really appreciated that you can order just broth for $4, because I was able to have a taste of soup alongside my banh mi. The tofu banh mi is a delicious vegetarian option. The bread was soft and not too hard to chew. It was packed with a hefy portion of tofu and fresh, crunchy veggies. I walked to the restaurant, but I can imagine it being difficult to find parking. It's more of a small storefront actually but there are a couple of seats for you to enjoy your meal inside. I recommend placing your order in advance using the Snackpass app! I placed an order before heading to the store, and it was ready within 10 minutes. I will certainly be back to try the rest of the menu. :) read more

We came in curious abt the concept. The employee didn't even wanna talk to us. We walked up thought it's going to be like chipotle. The guy just stared at us so we said we'd like 2 bowls of pho, he asked what kind of meats and that's it. We didn't get to experience the "pho-potle" or whatsoever and that's fine but also super confusing and misleading. Service was meh, as a Viet I could understand all the chit chats they were making so loud in the kitchen. We were wearing headphones but could still hear them so clearly. Anyway, the pho... was so disappointing for the price. $20+ for a bowl.... Broth was super salty, a few pieces of meat, a lil bit of vegetables... idk what's the hype about. Also the paper bowl made the pho cool down so fast. Image coming here on a cold seattle winter day for a lukewarm pho. All the 5 star reviews from yelp elites on here just seem staged. Saw a tiktok abt the owner talking about "margin" and "long lines" wrapped around the corner?! I've never seen any lines I walk by this place at least once a day. But their google reviews are all about cockroaches in food and wrong orders and crazy pricing. That's why I feel like I have to share my experience. Don't let these yelp elite reviews and their social media posts fool you. read more

This restaurant is Great. You can park in front on the street for 2 hours, if available. There is a parking garage on the same side of the street. The menu is easy to read. They offer Pho, Chicken Wings, Gatorade Tots and good drinks. A great variety of alcohol beverages, wines, beer etc Great seating, it's wide open. With a very cool set up of TV screens showing different shows. The Service is Awesome. We were welcomed with smiles and she helped us order from the computer screen. The only thing that was a turn off, to me was the Compost. I felt like that should be in the back. But to reach is own and I guess it's easier for them to do their recycling and garbage that way. read more

Otho the broth was nice, I would not recommend this place. The meat is left out like a buffet. The raw meet was not even covered, and was drying out, you can see the meat darkening and drying out. And the chicken was no different. I ordered soup and an appetizer, and they were out of the spring rolls. I asked for tea, and they were out. And when the pho came out, it was light on the noodles (that was a plus, I like less noodles anyway) and the sprouts!! I could have counted them on one hand. Again, I did think the broth was nice and the concept of build your own Pho is a great idea.. it's hard to believe this is a chain.. someone needs to do a quality check! read more

I was so enticed by the 24 hr beef broth that I insisted we come here. I got the food "to go" and ordered a beef brisket pho. It didn't take too long to get my order, which was great. Unfortunately, even though I was eating it about five minutes after I got it, the pho soup was very cold. I was 100% expecting hot soup. Maybe they expect you to take "to go" food home and reheat it, I'm not sure, but it was honestly the temperature of "having taken it out of the fridge not too long ago". The oil in the soup clung to the sides of my paper bowl in visible white chunks because it was cold :( Additionally, while the flavor of the broth was nice and deep, it was extremely over salted. And I am someone who tends to eat food on the saltier side. I'm not sure why it was so oversalted, because it wasn't even so that the food in the broth would be "perfect"-- even the plain noodles in the broth were overseasoned by the broth. After some testing, the ratio to make it "salty but not overseasoned" was to add 40-50% more water (so that it was a 2:1 ratio of broth to water). Did they expect me to add 40% of hot water to make it an actual soup? Unclear. Overall, I was extremely disappointed. It cost about $20 for a very cold bowl of soup that was a little inedible to drink. I'll enjoy the leftover broth after adding more water and reboiling it, but I was very sad about what happened. read more

Honest review. I got pho to go. Does not nearly give enough veggies. Noodle portion is very small. Meatball does not taste right. The broth is good, but overall not worth $21. Image of how much veggies they gave. read more

Headed over to get a quick early dinner and we ordered from the digital counter. There isn't much inside seating and the space is small so we opted for the to go option. The order came out pretty fast and they provided all the utensils we needed. Spring Rolls - Pretty decent spring rolls, it was filled with shrimp, lettuce and vermicelli mainly but the star of it was the peanut sauce. It was sweet, creamy, aromatic and had a pretty bold peanut flavor. Pork Banh Mi - It was a decent size for two people to share. The pork inside was soft and flavorful from the seasoning. I enjoyed the pickled veggies for the freshness it brought and the bun was easy to bite into, soft with a light crunch. The only downside was pricing as it was 10 dollars for two spring rolls. Though for a quick dinner, this was a great option and they also had some pho and meal combo menu items as well. read more

I like their pho and everything. Priced and pretty good and their other menu items are pretty good. I hate that they only use one time use products even for dine in. Seems really wasteful and it's not like plastic pho bowls are super expensive and hard to manage. Parking in the area is easy when there's no sports going on but the area can get crazy. read more

I really appreciated the friendly service and the clean, inviting atmosphere--it's clear they care about the dining experience. The food itself is delicious, with great seasoning and freshness. My one gripe is the portion size: the noodles, in particular, came in a surprisingly small serving that didn't match the price point. A bit more noodle (or a bit less on the bill) would make this an easy 5‑star spot. read more

Very disappointing. First time coming back to this Vinason since they reopened. Disappointed they don't have bun vermicelli noodle salads anymore. So I tried their new version of fresh spring rolls and chicken pho. Spring rolls were ok but not great, they fell apart and the plum sauce is super thick. The pho was really not good. Not enough broth, the chicken was dry, and too much plum sauce pre-added to the mix. Unfortunately, unless they change the menu it was not worth it. read more

After being a guest on a radio talk show, I was craving pho and a banh mi. This is a great spot for non gmo food. Service was good considering this was a 33 item order at the time I arrived. It not having human service makes it feel a bit cold w/out this interaction. The broth of the pho is tasty and I like how it's to be healthier. The ambiance is unique and a bit tight and small. Want to try the Kirkland location to see if the restaurant feeling is better. read more

I placed a pick up order and the food was hot and ready when I arrived. You are able to grab any to-go toppings or utensils needed. The restaurant is smaller, but there is some seating if u want to eat there. The Pho itself was really tasty the packaging separated the pho toppings like jalapeño, basil, and bean sprouts. The portions were fairly big and I had leftovers to eat the next day. I would recommend extra cilantro and onions when ordering pho of u enjoy like I do! read more

Solid spot for a quick bite in SLU! Staff is really efficient and helpful. I got the lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowl which was pretty good! Portion size was really generous and I was stuffed after. The chicken was a little sweet for my taste but it was still pretty yummy. Vegetables were fresh and the vermicelli was great as well. Definitely recommend checking this place out for some quick and filling Vietnamese food! read more

Was looking for a quick meal after visiting the Space Needle and decided on this photo spot. Parking is a bit challenging here, but ended up finding street parking after a few rounds. The shop on a corner and very small, mostly take out orders. They do have 2 small tables outside (if weather permits) and 2 small bar tables inside. Ordered on a screen and waited for staff to bring us the food. They were friendly and helpful. We ordered 2 different Phos. Food wasn't too bad, would recommend paying for extra for the fresh noodles. The broth itself was very salty, but palatable (just drink a lot of water after). Not sure if i would return, but wasn't bad. read more

I've been getting Pork Bahn Mi at Vinason for years. Their sandwiches were delicious. But recently, I've noticed that every time I come here, there is less pork in the sandwich than the time before. Last night was the worst yet...there was so little pork, that it was laughable (and bear in mind, with tax and tip, this is a $15+ sandwich). See photo. read more

It was ready super quickly and perfectly packaged, also I love how generous they were with the peanut sauce. Only thing - they were out of banh mih when we ordered :( Maybe they ran out of bread or something. read more

I had the Lemongrass Pork Vermicelli with Fish Sauce and it was delicious. The pork was juicy and flavorful, and the greens balance out the greasiness well. I wish there was a little more of the vermicelli, but they gave a generous portion of meat and veggies. However, this bowl was $17 which was pricey, so this won't be a place I come back frequently but definitely a solid spot for viet food! read more

So the concept to start is bad. Trying to be clever with our your own beers, but that is a questionable transaction to start. The real kicker is when you return the card which is required. They have a no tip, 10% and a 20%, so whatever slot you put that card in it charges you more after already tipping at the counter. I filed an FCC report and it is gross and illegal read more

I'm a long time Vinson lover- usually frequent the Kirkland location. This one is different. If you're expecting a nice place to sit, alcoholic beverages, or a bathroom, this is not the place for you. I don't know why the owner posted pics that are deceiving of what this location actually offers. Needless to say I will never be back to this location- they post pics that are not of that location. read more

From word of mouth, I've heard this place was really good but I was a bit disappointed. Though the experiences I've heard about were from their other stores in Kent and SoDo. Overall experience was average as there was limited seating and small portions for the price. Walk in and order on one of their two tablets, fairly simple. I would encourage visiting the other locations for a potentially better experience (I believe the SoDo one has more menu items as well). I prepped myself for the vermicelli and it was all sold out so I was very sad. In total, we snagged a tea, spring rolls, pho, fried rice, and banh mi to try without the vermicelli available. Thai Iced Tea - good Thai tea, normal size and price point. No complaints. Large Shrimp Spring Rolls - would've expected more especially with the description hinting at plurality. In the end, it's $8 for one spring roll cut into two. Peanut sauce given is watered down and not viscous. Combo Pho - steak and brisket were very good and fairly large pieces as they weren't cut up too much. But besides that, the rest was pretty average. Broth wasn't extra rich or anything, something I'd find normally. On the side is a lime, jalapenos, and beansprouts, but no Thai basil. Beef Fried Rice with Extras - the bowl looked really good but it was just okay. Friend decided to add a bunch of extras so the bowl was upwards of $20 but the bowl itself wasn't super full or anything. It looked just like all the other pictures, so was there really much extra? Beef was great but the "fried rice" is really just white rice tossed in some oil for a short amount of time. More of a rice bowl than fried rice. read more

I found Vinason because it was close to Soul Cycle so after a late afternoon class I headed over and ordered. They seem to prefer if you order online but you can order there as well. They do have a few seats inside- maybe 4- and then 2 tables outside so this is primarily a pickup spot. They were friendly when I had some questions as I did seen on their website that they offer egg rolls - but unfortunately not at this location. You order at a kiosk and then they bring out your order. I love the containers they offer so everything is easily packed. My chicken pho was perfect. I had plenty of chicken and all of the ingredients were super fresh. I can't wait to go back. read more

[Review for catering] We went with Vinason Pho Kitchen for one of our team lunches, and ordered through EZCatering's website (which allowed edits to the order up to 24hrs before the delivery). We went with the Banh Mi platters, steak and tofu, which came pre-sliced but each platter is advertised as feeding up to 15 people. The Banh Mi was delicious, the sauce and toppings were a good amount but I have to take a star away as the portions for the actual steak and tofu were very minimal. I'd say there was more bread than steak or tofu, pretty disappointing given the cost per platter. Thankfully we did have enough for everyone but next time will certainly order an extra platter. The star of our lunch was the vegetable spring rolls. With or without the sauce, our team polished off the platter within minutes. Order arrived on time, and the driver even called when they were a few minutes away. Food was still hot, labeled, and well packaged. I'll certainly order from them again for a business meal, and hoping the portions being minimal was a one off... read more

They straight up just served me frozen pre cooked chicken. While I waited for 15 mins for the Chicken Curry, I kept on hearing microwave sounds. I don't know if vinason promised us "fresh" food or not, but they shouldn't be using microwaves in the first place. If you're gonna microwave something, atleast make sure the chicken is fully defrosted!!! I wish I could refund my 20 dollars I just wasted. You can audibly hear the ice on the chicken in the video... I mean tbh I eat like a rat (there's been some bad days on the bank account) but when I spend $20 I'm definitely not paying for FROZEN chicken. I sound like a total Karen and I hate it but what the heck dude!!! I'm walking 10 mins next time to Meskong Bar and getting food the proper way! read more

Yummy little pho spot perfect for a cold rainy day! This place really is LITTLE and some of the photos posted here are actually of their other location! We asked the staff about it and they said they have 2 other locations, the owner wanted to keep this one because of its prime location. Keep that in mind because we were surprised when we arrived to see only 6 barstool seats which are separated so our party of 4 couldn't eat together. There were 2 outdoor tables but it was raining. There is a takeout window if seats are full! Anyways, the pho was flavorful and had a fair amount of meat. There menu is simple and there's only one size. We also enjoyed the steak spring rolls! The menu doesn't list the quantity - it was 2 for $7. The staff was friendly the entire time. Proof of vaccination required to dine in. read more

I ordered pickup / takeout here and the food is prepared in a timely manner and packaged really nicely. At the moment, I don't think people dine in since it's really small unless you sit outside, but it's too cold for that. I got the fresh shrimp spring roll and beef brisket pho. The fresh shrimp spring roll is really good, and the shrimp is very fresh. It's definitely one of the better ones I tried, and the peanut sauce is just the right amount of sweet and salty. The beef brisket pho is decent as well, with noodles and the fixings nicely separated from the container of pho soup so that the noodles won't get soggy. Noodles are just the right texture, but some of the beef is a bit tough to chew, almost like cardboard, and the soup is a bit on the sweeter side and a bit too salty. read more

I am a lover of all things pho. This is my first time in Seattle and my husband and I were walking to Whole Foods for water and we walked by this establishment. The name immediately caught my eye. This is not a sit down restaurants although they do have a couple of seats outside. This is more of a quick order and take out establishment. There was a couple sitting outside the restaurant that heard me say "I wonder if it's good" and she immediately said it was. I decided to give it a try. I got the vegan pho that came with carrots, broccoli, bean sprouts, onions, basil, and jalapeños. It was very good. I would recommend. read more

I ordered vegan pho. The broth was basically water. I ordered peanut sauce and hoisin and neither was delivered even though it was included in the order! I also ordered extra broccoli and carrots and paid an xtra 3.50 but there was not extra in fact there was some carrots and three pieces of broccoli I called the restaurant and they did nothing to remedy the situation. The order was door dashed so nothing I could do about it. I will never refer or return. read more

Ordered delivery while in town for an event. Looked like a small hole had been burned into the top of the soup container, so a good majority of it spilled out by the time it got to me. Aside from that, I had ordered normal beef pho. It was not good. The broth had little flavor, and the beef had basically no flavor at all. Without the broth flavoring the noodles were bland. I personally will not be ordering again but I cannot comment on the in-person dining experience/food quality as the delivery time was a factor. read more

WOWOWOW! This is a must try! I had the chicken vermicelli bowl and my boyfriend had the pork banh mi. The flavors were to die for. I love a good vermicelli bowl and banh mi and they knocked it out of the park. The bowl was flavorful and a great portion size. I didn't think I would be able to finish it but it was so good I couldn't stop eating it! The spicy sauce they have too is great to add to it. The banh mi was flavorful with a perfect amount of pork to toppings. I will definitely come back here!! I'm drooling over the food as I write this review LOL! read more

It's great that the SLU area has a place to grab some quick Vietnamese food! This is some place that I would come if I'm craving something fast and simple - like pho, vermicelli or banh mi. Their menu is smaller and doesn't offer many other Vietnamese dishes besides the standard staples that most people get. I was however impressed with the pho! I got it to-go and they packaged it really well so that the meat and noodles are separated from the broth, and the toppings come in a different lid type of container as well. When I got home, the soup was still piping hot. The noodles were great - they didn't stick together but also didn't break apart, and the meat was tasty as well. I personally didn't get pieces with a ton of fat which was so nice, and the broth was on point as well! I will say though that if you're a big toppings or sauce fan, ask for more when ordering! I definitely needed more, but Luckily I had a few things in my fridge I added right in. read more

This place has a prime location to scam Amazon employees. I paid $15 for a bowl of pho and it didn't even come with bean sprouts, basil, sriracha, or hoisin sauce. Literally the first Vietnamese restaurant that I've ever been to that doesn't give you free toppings for your pho. I wouldn't mind not getting free topping if the pho was cheap, but $15 for just broth, noodles, meat, and onions is kinda pricey. The pho itself was just ok. The noodles were clumpy but I got takeout so that's understandable, and the broth had a nice beefy flavor. The brisket was extremely fatty which I liked but I feel like they didn't give enough meat. I got 2 small slices of brisket and a couple of small meatballs (again it was $15). The spring rolls were also alright but they just had meat, noodles, and lettuce so it wasn't anything special. The food was alright but way overpriced compared to the other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. If you work on the Amazon campus the location is pretty convenient but I don't recommend it unless you can get your manager to comp your meal. read more
