Restaurant was situated in a busy area of Sodo. It had a nice contemporary feel and everything is self serve. Wasn't very busy for lunch on a Wednesday. Got the bun bo hue and while it tasted good it didn't taste like anything I had in Hue nor did it compare to what I could have created. The chicken wings were good but a bit dry as they were already deep fried and when I ordered them, they but it back in the deep fryer to warm them up. All in all I am glad I tried this restaurant but I wound not go back. It was super expensive for my lunch! $50+ for one person! read more

We came with a large group on a rainy weekday evening and had no wait. Ordering and payment are done at self-serve kiosks, and you pick up your food when it's ready, which makes the process efficient for groups. There's a solid selection of beer and cider on tap, plus a massive screen for sports--this place will likely be packed on game days. I ordered the custom pho, where you can choose your own proteins. The broth had good umami and was satisfying, though not the best pho I've had. Overall, it's a great spot for big group gatherings, with long tables and benches with a casual vibe. read more

A busy establishment near the stadiums and Showbox SODO. The place advertises itself as a Sports Bar--it has the largest screen known to man which is visible (I'm not kidding) from the Southwest Corner of T-Mobile Park--but no one there tonight paid any attention to the Sports. They were there for the Pho!! Great set of options for Pho, too. You can go with the more traditional slow-cooked beef broth, to chicken, to briny chicken, to even a couple options of vegan pho. We ordered both the chicken and vegan, and tater tot/tofu appetizer. All was super delicious. (The tater/tofu thing may sound weird, but it was tasty, especially the sauce.) They also have a super selection of beers and ciders, all bought by the ounce. Order a drink card with your order so that you can enjoy however much you want of your favorite brew. The place was a bit noisy, mostly due to the sports TV. But it wasn't too loud that we couldn't have a nice conversation. Arrive early. The place was hopping by 6:30, with limited seating options at that time. read more

Was in the area and dropped in for an early dinner on a Friday. Place is nice with tvs everywhere, drinks on tap on the wall. Very disappointed that they only had wings, pho and BBH. Decided on a beef shank BBH, fish sauce wings, tater tots, peach iced tea and a Vietnamese coffee. BBH came out looking like pho with pho condiments but what was I expecting, authentic BBH with the typical garnishing?? wings were ok, broth was waaaay too salty, tots were crispy but way too salty as well. They sold out on the peach tea. Vietnamese coffee was ok, I mean you really can't screw up Vietnamese coffee. Overall, very disappointed in the overpriced food. I came home and had to chug a bunch of water because of all the salty food I ate. Glad I tried it out but would not go back. read more

Used to LOVEEEEE this place but they changed the menu and got rid of the bahn mi's. Super disappointing as they were my absolute fave. It will make me think twice about hitting this place up before the mariners game next time. Definitely still good for the beer wall tho!! read more

Easily the best pho in the city. Suppose they get crowded at game time, as they are just a few steps away from the stadium; however, when we stopped by it was quite empty and airy. Ordering is self service at a kiosk, which is fine by me - I appreciate any effort to keep business hands- and contact-free. That doesn't mean, though, that you won't benefit from the bright smiles of the staff, which we did. They could not be more eager to help. The place is large, and I was actually introduced to it due to a fundraiser held here. I tried the pho then (the veggie pho with veggie broth) and had to take the spouse back for another go, which we finally did over the weekend. Wow! The pho is still amazing. To add, I love Vietnamese food yet rarely actually get the pho. Coming to Vinason, though, the pho is a MUST. The broth is divine. The epitome of homey and cozy. And the portions are much bigger than they look. We also ordered the chicken wings, which the spouse loved. In other words, 100% stamp of approval. Will return! Thank you! read more

We came here again before driving to North. We wanted to bite Vietnamese sandwich quickly. You must first order at the kiosk near the entrance. No service at the counter or tables. Order what you want to eat while looking at the screen. Bottled water costs $2, but there is also free water on the left side of the store when you pick up your food counter. Everything is self-service, so you order and pick up your food. I like atmosphere of inside and outside patio area. Anyway we like All Natural Lemongrass Pork Banh Mi. So yummy. Try it! read more

I'm so happy my husband works so close to this Vinason Pho Kitchen location, because he can pick me up an order of delicious Pho when he decides go into his office. The service is really good, and atmosphere is perfectly aligned with the SoDo district. I greatly appreciate the ease of to go order and how often the app communicates the preparation phase of your order. The pho is SPECTACULAR, any time I can sip the broth alone (even when full,) means the flavor is on point. On the this order I forgot to request additional vegetables, but again the broth is so flavorful I just sipped the broth once I ate the vegetables. I definitely will return and highly recommend Vinason Pho Kitchen-SoDo! read more

$10 pho Monday is a great way to try their best pho. Got the steak pho using the QR code on table to order but it got ordered for takeout and I had to have them assemble for me for dine in. Tasty broth and the Siracha sauce has got some fire. I'd probably order extra meat next time. All in all a great meal for $10 plus tax and tip. read more

This place had been on my list for awhile and I finally was able to check it out! I ordered the adult capri sun and let me tell you, it was delicious and refreshing! Would come back for that! My partner got the beer self pour card and he said they had plenty of options (I tried a watermelon cider which was good). We ordered drinks and played card games but later got hungry and ordered the tots which were good! We went on a Thursday around 2pm and it was empty. I can imagine during game day it is packed! Overall cool vibes and would return. read more

Dinner tonight with some of our favorite urban epicures, and this restaurant was a perfect combo of experiences for our guests. First of all, and most importantly, the food. We ordered it easily from the ordering kiosks at the front door, and it came out really quickly. We had a broad sample of food from the menu, including tots, egg rolls, pho, vegan pho, garlic noodles, and a banh mi sandwich. Everyone was very happy with their food, which was freshly prepared and all very hot from the kitchen. I appreciated the crispness of the broccoli in my pho (perfectly blanched) and the delicate savory flavor of the pho broth. The tots were fantastic - very hot, very crunchy, just what you want a tater tot to be. The meatballs were very good, there wasn't quite enough sliced beef, and the basil was a little on the tired side, but the bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeno were perfect. Egg rolls were super hot, right out of the fryer, and crisply tasty. I would say the food was a solid 4 to 4.5 out of 5. The beer wall was awesome and very entertaining. The guests sampled a tiny bit of almost everything and, while they didn't find one they particularly loved, they really enjoyed the opportunity to wander up, pour a little bit of something, and see if they liked it. An added plus was non-alcoholic local root beer and one of my favorite drinks, Seeking Kombucha's Purple Rain, on tap. In addition, this system is great because you're not dispensing one ounce pours - your beer card opens the tap and you pay for what you dispense, whether it's .5 oz or 5 oz. Awesome experience! The immense TV was great. It was baseball at first (one guest's favorite) and then two of us were delighted that it switched to the Kraken game. Also - there's a cart of games to play while you are waiting for your food. Our food came out really quickly but we enjoyed playing one of the tabletop games while we were waiting - it was a fun way to pass the time (in addition to watching sports on the giant TV or the smaller TVs). The only negative was parking. We parked in the Home Plate Garage that's in the same building, got locked in because we were having such a great time at Vinason (we were 7 minutes after the garage closed), had to get let in to the garage, and then could not get out of the garage because the machine won't take metal credit cards AND it ate and would not return our plastic credit card, so we lost a credit card in the machine. Unfortunately a not-great ending to an otherwise awesome evening. read more

Looking for some great food, a clean place to eat and use the restroom or pass some time before the game? Look no further than Vinason Pho Kitchen! We have walked by this place several times over the past year on our way to a Mariners or Sounders game, but this weekend, we were determined to try it out when it opened prior to the afternoon Mariners game. It is a self service ordering and beer/cider/wine pouring system with lots of choices on tap! We tried the pork bahn mi--such a fresh set of flavors and crisp veggies...and the pork...so good!! Sweet and savory! My favorite thing had to be the sauce that is available to add to anything on the side next to the pick up area...we tried the habanero ginger sauce, and it was a-maze-ing. I like spicy, and this was the sauce I added to all of my items to kick it up a notch! Don't miss out! We also had the bahn mi tots and the small pho. We would definitely have these again!! I DO wish the had multiple options for the bahn mi bites and not just shrimp, but that's okay...next time! Next time, we will have to try the shrimp bahn mi bites and the wings...we have to save something to try for our next visit! read more

[ Review is for catering order ] Our team has previously enjoyed Vinason Pho Kitchen, and we've ordered from their Westlake location through EZCaterer. This time, the only location available for the catering order was their Sodo location. We placed the order in advance and the restaurant re-confirmed the order, fantastic, everything seemed to be going to plan. Day of the delivery, received a notification that the delivery was now being handled by a 3rd party vendor (specifically, DoorDash). Found this odd as this was not noted on Vinason's page on EZCaterer, but okay, we'd go with it. The problem with the DoorDash tracker was the map layout is different than the typical tracker using DoorDash directly (can't zoom in/out), so it was hard to accurately track the order's location. The biggest issue was the DoorDash driver delivered to the wrong address, which caused our team to have to go to several buildings (thankfully we had access as they were within our company), and the order was over 30mins late as a result. Because Vinason used DoorDash, we were not able to directly speak to Vinason about the order and had to work with DoorDash's driver. Why the review here when the biggest pain points were with DoorDash/their driver? Because Vinason chose to leverage DoorDash for their catering orders and didn't properly convey a 3rd party vendor would be used. While the food was delicious, it wasn't worth the time spent trying to find the order. Unfortunately this experience has negatively impacted our future catering needs. read more

What a vibe!! Came here to check the place out after seeing it on TikTok and it lived up to its hype. My friend and I stopped for an early lunch but realized they have happy hour deals for their apps and beer from 2-5pm and decided to come back later. We came in on a weekday so it was fairly slow but it began to pick up around 4pm. I'm not much of a drinker but my friend enjoyed the beer wall, such a cool feature! All the food came out fairly fast and fresh, we ordered just the apps which were so filling on their own. My personal fav were the tofu taters - never thought the combo of tater tots and tofu would be so good. Definitely recommend coming in during their happy hour, you'll get a bang for your buck! I personally liked the self-serving kiosk, but the service was also attentive and friendly. Perfect place to stop by for a quick bite/drink before or after watching a game across the street. Food: Garlic noodles Tofu taters Shrimp bahi mi bites Wings Oysters Pho taters Drink Iced peach lychee tea - would recommend getting it with light ice Beer wall - my friend was definitely living her best life with this read more

This is a really interesting restaurant. It is obviously born out of the pandemic: everything is pretty much serve yourself, and you need to love technology to eat here. The menu is only available via QR code or kiosk -- but it's not just a menu, it's a full-fledged app you need to use to order both to-go and in-restaurant dining. There are no servers, you get a notification on the app (or tv on the wall) when your order is up, and you can go fill your own beer from one of the 30+ taps on the wall. Just load funds on your beer card and go pour it yourself. I guess it's kinda cool that in you could place your order on the way to the restaurant and it would be ready when you arrive, but in a sit down restaurant I don't want to just come in, plop myself down, and start scarfing my food. Slow down your life already. Is it efficient? Probably. But it feels impersonal and you'd better not have any menu questions because you don't have a server. The people behind the counter are busy preparing food and other tasks. I will say I'm not a fan of these type of restaurants. I guess I'm a bit old school and would prefer not to be screwing around with some website on my phone at the table. It works fine, but what happens when it doesn't? Chaos? This restaurant takes counter-service to a new level as you have zero contact with any of the employees unless you need to pick up an alcohol debit card. Well, no tips for you guys. With tipflation and zero employee interaction, I didn't feel bad about not leaving one. There is of course a bullshit $2 "operating charge" on the bill though. Since there is no service I'm not sure what the fuck that means. Operating your business, I guess? Are we just paying the machines now? And what the hell is with a $0.25 bag charge? I didn't order take out. See my picture of the receipt. The space itself is pretty cool. It's a really nice large open layout with a huge screen for watching games. I imagine it's packed on game days, and looks like it'd be a great place to hang out. The menu has lots of game-day style appetizers that look pretty fun, like tots, wings, all that kind of stuff that you might not expect to find in a traditional Vietnamese restaurant, but is a great idea for the location. The food was really good -- I was impressed. The banh mi was great! Especially with some of the habanero ginger Sriracha on it. Spicy and delicious! Pho was good, as were the fried egg rolls. Unfortunately I'd call them a rip off because you only get two for $10! I thought there would be more. Won't do that again. The other menu items are also a bit pricey but not entirely unexpected in an upscale location like this. I am not a huge fan of the beer station. It looks cool, it's a cool idea, but I don't like paying $8 for a glass of foam. In a real bar they would pour some of this out as it's usually the warm liquid sitting in the beer line since the last person poured from the tap. It foams up, and if you over-pour, you just paid a dollar to dump beer down the drain. That said, the selection is great and it's hard to complain about beer, but there you go. Overall we'll probably be back. Solid food and great location! read more

The cousins and I went here before the Lauv concert for some food and drinks and enjoyed it! The owner came and talked to us and was very friendly . They have a whole wall of draft beers, wines, and craft sodas as well. Food: Meatball pho: I'm Vietnamese and I feel like the pho was flavorful! I also liked that they have an option for just pho broth (good option for people that are hungover). Steak garlic noodle: I give this a 5/5 stars! It had a very nice garlic flavor and wasn't bland at all! They also gave us a pretty good amount :). The steak was flavorful too and went really well with the garlic noodle. Vietnamese baked oyster: big and juicy. The sauce was flavorful! The shrimp baguette: I know how to make this at home and my cousins and I both agreed that this one was a little bit too cheesy for us :) . So I think this was our least favorite dish out of all of them. Caprisun alcoholic bag: the bag was pretty big and taste like juice ... however , if you are wanting to get buzz ... probably will have to drink more than just that bag :) read more

Great new option for Vinason!! Already a fan of this chain! And pleased to see more opening. Ryo is the manager and very very sharp. Her customer service skills were really nice.

Including but not limited to baked oysters, right oysters, and bánh mì bites. They also had a wine wall, and is probably one of the biggest locations for seating. Conveniently located nearby showbox in case you are looking for a place to get some food here for a fun night out. read more

Conceptually Unique ambiance. It had a first-take good vibe--especially considering across the street is a strip club. The self-ordering kiosk is a Jetson experience minus Astro that eliminates their opportunity to wow you with service. But the vide was cool. I was feeling it, right down to their punny slogan: Pay It PHOward. But then the bottom dropped out with the lack of service, due to the grocery store self-checkout concept that doubled down with the stand-off employees that stayed behind the service counter. Also, for being a cafeteria style establishment, it took a bit long to get the food. The food was average. I've had much better pho. But it was fine. It is nit a bang for your buck though. Where it got awkward was my beverage order. My $6 Thai coffee was half-filled. It was worse than how Starbucks cheats you (open your lid next time you order $7 for water and beans from Starbucks). I asked them to fill my 1/2 filled up. Rather than accommodating, the employee tried to sell a story that went like this: "the reason we don't fill the cup is that our coffee is really strong so the ice will melt and mellow it out." That is a stupid rationale. The ice isn't going to melt in an iced coffee fast enough, even on a hot day in Sodo. That is the point of the ice. I ended it up having to water it down by adding water. Basically, what a rip-off. It was probably the worst Thai ice coffee I've had. Don't order it. The condiments were lacking. Bottles were empty. No one replaces or refills these sauces In squeeze bottles. Also, it's not clear if you're expected to clear your place or not. Tables were left with garage. Minor issue: I tried to clear my plate. But their three separate garbage, recycle, and compost g bins states: "No Bowls." I had no idea where to through away my garage since it claims none of them take the used paper bowls. read more

A Vietnamese sports bar with a huge selection of beer that is self served and tons of Viet bar food! I came for the pho and it did not disappoint. The pho not only smelled amazing, but tasted amazing too! I should've ordered a larger sized pho to be honest. I also ordered the caprisun alcohol drink. Just be careful because you barely taste the alcohol but you will def feel it haha. Overall, beautifully spacious restaurant with tons of food and drinks to choose from. I will be coming back to try all the other options on the menu! read more

Perfect spot to watch the games! Comes with a large screen, and the self pour beer adds up to the experience. Their pho and finger food is tasty too! Their pho is firm and chewy, my ideal texture for all forms of noodle. A dish worth mentioning is the oyster. They seasoned their oysters with Vietnamese spices and condiments, which was an unexpected perfect combo. Something worth thinking about however is how their bowls are paper, so it doesn't keep your pho hot for too long, hence losing a star. read more

This place is FIRE! So amazing. Don't even second guess yourself, just go. Get food there if you are heading to or from a game, or anything else for that matter. It's amazing. First of all, I am a HUGE tofu fan. And it's sometimes hard to find places that do Tofu justice. People tend to forget to season it and it can be very bland, but NOT this place. This place is AMAZING. I ordered their Tofu Vermicelli Noodle bowl, and it was incredible. Firstly, love that you can customize your order easily and ask for no Cilantro. Secondly, the tofu in this bowl was soooooo good! It had so much flavor, and it was literally perfection. The pho tater tots are so good too. The meat was so tender, and the spiciness from the siracha mayo was perfection. Also, I'm somewhat picky about Tater Tots, and these were so good. Everything about this dish worked so well. Run, don't stop, to this place and get some amazing food! You will NOT be disappointed. read more

I was looking for a quick dinner spot near the stadium and this was perfect. Because it was during the week day and early, I was one and only customer Liked the open, clean and green (lots of plants) ambiance. Interesting set up to order at front kiosk or at table using the QR code. Got the extra spicy chicken wings with a side of steamed veggies. The chicken wings were crispy and flavorful. They also meet the spicy test level and not just salty. Maybe because few wings were small, I got 8 pieces instead? The steamed veggies were little crisp and without any seasoning which I prefer vs mushy and drenched in butter. I would be willing to return and try something else on the menu. read more

Came here on a Sunday to catch the game and eat. They kiosks but the owner was nice enough to greet us and walk us through our orders. You can purchase a prepaid drink card or order at the bar. The food was good; we ordered oysters, garlic noodles, 2 orders of their house special wings and salt and pepper jalapeño wings, shrimp toast and pho taters. The sauce for the oyster was a bit too sweet, but nonetheless everything else tasty. The bathrooms are around the corner outside the business. Overall great spot to enjoy drinks and watch the game!

A good place to go to watch games, get good food, drinks, and service. They got a selection of beers on tap that you pour yourself.

Service is amazing! The whole venue is nice and open (smells good and clean). The pho broth is good and the oysters top it off. They got crack sauce on them oysters!! I would recommend to all my friends. They play sports on the many TVs they have and especially the big games/events with a TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY 2 inch TV. They play good music and even got board games for when you're waiting for your order. I really like the aesthetic here (plenty of plants). If you were thinking of coming here, do it! You won't regret it. Shoutout to Chris behind the counter! Great and friendly guy that I would want to talk to every time I come here with my friends. Did I mention they have a beer/wine tap? Who does that at a pho spot??? Love it. We ordered: - Combo pho with beef and brisket with beef broth - Prawn pho with beef broth - Large baked pacific oysters read more

This restaurant has a modern take on a pho restaurant. You order what you want from a kiosk, pick up the food from the counter, and throw your trash away. Ordered the steak pho and house special chicken wings. Pass on the chicken wings. The pho was delicious. I didn't like that you had to pay for extra lime and there's no restroom in the restaurant. The plus side: they had a good selection of tap beers and offered organic siracha. We ended up purchasing organic siracha bottles for home. They also had a huge screen showing a football game. Not too bad for a pho restaurant. read more
