Don't go for the pho! It's terrible. Overly sweet broth. Way over priced. They even charged for a bag when we were a dine-in. Not sure what gives this place 4 stars? Zero human contact, food court ambiance, all plates/bowls utensils are disposable which is wasteful, weird bussing station where you stack your disposable cups and bowls after dumping your soup into a strainer which is strangely right next to the water station, self serve everything and they ask for a tip at check out, and kiosk ordering with minimal descriptions. Only came here because Pho Cyclo down the road was closed. One star for crispy tots. read more

Stopped in on their 3rd full day open before a mariners game. Oh boy am I glad we stopped. Beautiful place from the outdoor seating to the inside. Large beer wall with 40 beers on tap. Super cute/cool atmosphere, would be a great place to catch any game on their massive screen! My cousin with us is a vegan and they had plenty of options for him as well we ordered a few things that were recommended to us. Oysters, wild gulf shrimp Bahn mi bites, and the pho taters. We also got a Thai tea, and tried a couple beers. My cousin ordered a vegetable pho, which was really good. Let me tell you about the rest of the delicious food. Nothing was not good! The meat on the taters are soaked in the pho broth, so there is some extreme flavor there. The shrimp Bahn mi bites, were soft, with a little crunch from the bread and oh so Cheesy! The oysters were also cooked perfectly. Everything had massive flavor. Vinason Pho does non-gmo and gluten free where possible. Good food and quality food. I love that it is a self service restaurant, order at your table or at the kiosk. It's truly a great experience. read more

The food is really bad. It's like $5 pho priced at $13. Maybe the high ratings are for the alcohol. But the pho was literally the absolute worst I've ever had. No flavor in the broth. read more

Great beer wall (including wine and non-alcoholic options) plus Vietnamese food. The oysters and Bahn Mi bites are . HUGE screen!! read more

Pho was delicious. Love how rich the broth is and really happy about the fresh noodles option (always get fresh noodles!!!!). Service was fast and friendly. Can't say much about it since it's almost like self serve kind of situation. Chill ambiance. I watched super-bowl here and the giant TV screen made it soooo much better especially during the half time show. read more

I really like the decor- it's really nice and spacious. I enjoy the greeneries touch. I love plants and flowers. And not to mention, perfect place to hang on any game day. They have significantly huge screen tv which is perfect to watch games. I love the concept of beer wall and wine wall. You'd start a tab with the given card. You'd use the card to fill your own beer/wine in a recyclable cup at your own convenient and it's super convenient :). I had their garlic noodle w/ lobster tail and also baked oysters . My friend had a bowl of pho. Good quality and fresh!!! read more

Absolutely delicious and such a cute restaurant! Easy to order, quick to get. The Thai tea with oat milk milk was just as good as regular Thai tea!!! What a treat. Bahn mi was soooo good. Bread was soft with a little crunch and lots of veggies, which I love. read more

Had the vegan pho. Pretty good. I took it to go but it seemed like a nice place to eat in (maybe not to park). Meal was ready as soon as I picked up so I felt service was fine. I'd eat there again. read more

What a pleasant, open-air, and inviting option on a beautiful sunny day kitty-corner from the stadium just before a Mariner's Game! Great Vietnamese offerings. Went with three buddies and shared the chef's special wings, the fish sauce wings, spicy fish sauce wings, as well as the deep-fried egg rolls and some delicious tots topped with pho-broth-infused beef. Everything was delicious. Incredible to be so close to the stadium, yet not locked in to a boring game-day menu. The pour-yourself beer taps offered a wide variety from kombucha, to athletic brewing NA, to several light to dark beers, including some delicious IPAs. You simply link a credit card to a beer tap card, and place your card on the slot above the tap you want to pour, and pour yourself a beer! Great new option near the stadium. read more

Unlike other Vinason locations, you order and pay at a kiosk when you enter, then wait for your name/number to be called, and you pick up your food at the counter. Water cups and utensils are off to the side near the pick up window, and you bus your own table. The menu is also different. You won't find bahn mi's, vermicelli dishes, or fried rice dishes. However, they have some new appetizer dishes that include a few variations of tator tots, bahn mi bites, baked oysters, chicken wings prepared with different sauces (choose 1), and others. Also they have garlic noodles (plain, shrimp, or lobster) on the menu. 1. Garlic noodles with shrimp-meh. The flavor was pretty generic, and the noodles were hard (this was beyond al dente). Maybe a mix of not being cooked all the way through, and/or they used older (not fresh) noodles. Some bites were cooked normal, and lots were not. 2. Pho-tastes the same as the other locations. 3. Egg rolls were crispy, good size, but didn't taste as good as the other locations. Filling was different and off. Maybe a bad batch? 4. Chicken wings with fish sauce-good. The wings were super small, but the drumettes were decent sized. But good flavor, crispy, thick sauce that cling to the wings. Would be really good if made hot and fresh. 5. Shrimp bahn mi bites-okay; kinda generic. Not sure what I expected, but these were pretty much shrimp and melted cheese on top of a bruschetta. Location is new, spacious, clean. Lots of TVs with different channels on the wall. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Happy hour on appetizers daily from 2-5pm. Upon looking at my receipt, they automatically charge a service fee. And ask for tip. No thanks. Receipt summary reads: Subtotal Service Fee Tip Tax Total read more

Absolutely love this place. The wings are incredible! Food is always great, vibes are great. There's definitely better pho places around if that's specifically what you want, but the wings are worth it alone. read more

First time to Vinason, and heard they have several locations in Washington State (five, to be exact). We came to their Sodo location before a Sounders Match to eat, drink, and be merry. The menu had a nice assortment of options including pho, bahn mi, wings and noodles! Their tap wall was impressive, even with a few choices out of stock. They have a limit on the self-serve tap, where they require you to check in with their employees to reactivate your beverage card after 32 ounces have been dispensed. This is a great way to safeguard a customer over serving themselves and leaving the restaurant too intoxicated. I applaud this soooo much!! Their adult capri-sun-esque bevvy is dangerously delicious - it doesn't taste like alcohol, and it goes down smooth! We'll definitely be back when we're in the area. read more

This was actually really good and a fun spot with friends with a lot of space. Great food! read more

This place was super cool! I went with a couple of coworkers for lunch and it was perfect for a cool rainy day. Although it's definitely not the best bowl of pho in Seattle, it certainly gets the job done. The broth is a little too fatty, but very flavorful! Service was quick and the order on a tablet, then pick up at the window works really well for this location! Will definitely be coming back! read more

Stopped by Vinason Pho while waiting for The Rose concert... environment is clean and organized. They have touch screen kiosk to order and the service is nice and friendly. I ordered Garlic Noodles with steak and the pho taters.. both very delicious! Seems the restaurant just opened recently and I would recommend eating here! read more

I've been to a couple of pho spots in Seattle but i have to say this has to be my top 3 choices. You guys should tried their oysters with crack sauce and garlic noodles! Come during happy hours since everything is half off and it's so worth it!! Very friendly knowledgeable staff and they are always giving out the best service! read more

I don't get this place. The "pour your own beer" thing is a novelty and must not be going well because there are many signs about how you will be charged $5 for a lost beer key. There are signs for the bathroom but you are directed to a locked, glass, double door to a large generic space. Maybe this space is overflow for large crowds on game days. So there is no bathroom for paying customers. Washing up before you eat consists of hand sanitizer. I didn't think the food was good and it's not cheap even though they save on labor by having you order at a kiosk and pour your own drinks. The tables are small and they don't get cleaned between customers. They want you to bus your own table which is fine I guess but they just don't seem to have their eye on the basics. It's also takes a long time to get your food even though the sandwiches just have to be assembled from ingredients that are already prepared. They also had food ready for a customer who ordered 5-10 minutes after I ordered. That just really bothers me. I also saw a dog with its head on the table. This is a serious health code violation. Doesn't matter if it's an illegal pet or an actual service animal. I left thinking, wow someone must be really desperate if they come to this restaurant. They must stay afloat with hundreds of people buying alcohol before games/concerts. read more

Honestly enjoyed the food a lot but it was a bit pricey for what it is and when I went most items were already sold out. Wings were great esp the ones with fish sauce. Enjoyed the structure and ambiance of the place. Service is all kiosk and the beer tap selection and the entire technology behind it was awesome. Enjoyed the giant screen and several other smaller screens surrounding the place. Great for game days, fight nights, beers and expensive bar foods read more

Went to a Mariners game and stopped here before the game. Fun spot with self serve beer and ciders on tap. Ordered the tater tots- delish! The pork spring rolls- good and the noodle salad with tofu. Tofu could use a ton more flavor but overall, it was a nice meal. I will definitely stop here again! read more

Love the alphabet drink! Barely taste the alcohol but you will definitely feel it! Perfect feel to watch the game. For sure coming back read more

Two bites into the Chicken Bahn Mi and i started projectile vomiting, was eating this on a lunch break and had to call out of my shift for the rest of the day, was puking for 25-30 minutes after only 2 bites. chicken was definitely questionable looking but i trusted it because i thought this place cared about food safety and wouldn't serve food that wasn't up to standard. would avoid this location if you don't want food poisoning read more

Do not go here if you are in a hurry before an event and do not trust the order status they share to your phone

First of all, this is by far the most different and unexpected place I'd ever thought of getting Vietnamese food from. As soon as you walk in the door you'll be amazed by the high tech touch pads that lets your order your food and you can seat yourself after. On top of the fact that there's massive screens that play sports games and what looked to be a fully stocked bar. The food was also a bit of fusion as I also ordered tots with pho flavored meet. And even though the bowl of pho was smaller than what I'm normally used to in other Vietnamese restaurants, the broth was AMAZING. Amazing as in you don't need to add any sauces to it. Granted I added sriracha to get some kick in there. Everything we ate was super fresh. I will say their portions are a little small so don't come here starving unless you're willing to spend extra. They do have a happy hour for appetizers which I'm pretty sure get the crowd rolling in on top of drinks. I imagine this place to get pretty busy during Seahawk games and definitely loud. I wouldn't say the ambiance is good for kids if they get easily irritated by loud noises. There is a parking garage next door which isn't too big so good luck on parking once that's full. All in all, this place was cool and the food was great. Definitely a place worth visiting when you're in the area. read more

Awesome lunch spot!! Great atmosphere, great food and fast service! The brisket pho is fantastic! Portions are large and they have beers & ciders! read more

Took so long and way too overpriced. Super crowded and messy. Would not recommend coming here.

Did not enjoy going out to eat only to have to order through a very glitchy app. App would not send confirmation text and I had to go up and ask to order from the front. Our food came out 10mins later that our friends at the table, we ordered 30 secs apart. Drink card bar wasn't too bad though soft drinks cost as much as beers. Table next to us and through out the establishment we're left un cleaned throughout our time. I'm sure other may enjoy this place but it's not for me. read more

Great food, and a rare these experience of having fantastic service. I will visit more often. read more

Great food, great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Highly recommend. Looking forward to our next visit!

Seriously the best chicken wings and oysters I have ever eaten. This place has a variety of food and 40 types of self serving beer to choose from. read more

The food was pretty decent, but they have raised their prices yet again. If I'm going to pay 15+ dollars for a cold bowl of noodles, it could at least be larger. That being said, they are always quick to serve even when they are busy. read more

Pho is the worst I had . Service is nonexistent and you have to give tips in advance.

The pho was great! Great place to bring a group of friends to watch any games. And hey why not? Try some of those various beers they have at their bear wall. read more

I always have a great time here at the vinason sodo location. The huge screen makes game days a lot of fun and even when there isn't a game on, there are plenty of tvs streaming different things. The vibe is fun and upbeat and they host different events through the year for special occasions! read more

Great place that just opened next to T-Mobile park. We walked by after Van Gogh experience and had to check it out. My picky daughter loved the garlic noodles, and the adult alcoholic capri sun was so tasty. Lychee lemonade I believe. Tried the oysters as well and the sauce really is crack. It's self order with a pick up area like a food court but the owners came by and were very social and grateful for the patrons here. We will be back to try their beer wall with 40 different options to try. read more

Food was good but was definitely expecting more authenticity. Honestly if you guys had Vietnamese coffee and shrimp/chicken spring rolls this would have been a 5. That is a pretty staple menu item and we are frequent pho goer to restaurants in the area. Plsss clean and nice environment otherwise! read more

If you need a place to hang out and watch the game and eat some good Vietnamese food then this place is a great option! The ambiance is welcoming and the staff is very friendly. We definitely had a great time here! read more

Vinason Pho Kitchen - SoDo - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Vinason Pho Kitchen is a quick and delicious stop prior to events at one of the stadiums. We've been attending Mariner games for years and recently noticed this little gem to the south west of the Griffey statue in the King 5 building. The space is laid out to accommodate quite a few people and allows you to get through both the drink and the food lines efficiently. Lots of choices on tap so if you think you're going to be a regular, you might consider preloading one of their payment cards. If you're familiar with Vietnamese food, you should be able to manage the menu pretty easily. I really enjoy the sandwiches and while my friends go for the noodle dishes. The atmosphere is casual, and there is a few tables for dining outside....pro tip, if you pre-reserve parking in the K-5 basement, it's not a bad deal on game day. read more

This is Possibly the slowest place to try to get food in Seattle. Never again! We really wanted to like this place, the location just outside the stadium is great, parking is good and the formula for Vietnamese food with beer is something all the other Vietnamese restaurants are missing on, seriously, this is a great idea. But, after 31 minutes of waiting for 3 snack dishes, we received nearly cold food, which might have been great about 15 minutes earlier. What was even more annoying was getting texted that our food was ready and then waiting at the pick-up counter for another 15 minutes (again, just to get cold food) The slowest and most disorganized restaurant we have experience in a long time and the staff was quite indifferent to our complaint. Frankly, the beer wall was the only bright spot... read more

The best location for Pho, ambiance, and service in the area. You won't be disappointed with the self serve beer station or the quality of food. Will definitely be back. read more

Best pho in the city. The service was impeccable. I was embarrassingly confused by all the tech at first, but the staff helped me out. The love they put into this place really shows in the food. Add the fatty broth and enjoy. Wish there was one in Queen Anne! read more
