We really enjoyed their beef stew soup and baguette. The soup is really delicious! It’s a great combination with vegetables(carrots and bean sprouts) and beef. After dipping the baguette into the soup, we can eat it nonstop!!! The coffee is creamy and tasty too.

The food was flavorful, but the shrimp dumplings were too squishy and bland for my taste and my daughter (7yo) disliked them too. The spring rolls were delicate, but at the same time crispy inside and with a bit of lime (?) zing, which was a nice surprise... :) The chilly would was THE BEST I HAVE EVER TASTED. I would like to know the brand so I could buy it for my home use. The only thing I disliked was a tiny black stone that I bit on. No hard feelings ;) I don't know how it got here, but it was in my food. The staff were friendly and accommodating to our allergies. They made sure to pack the sauces and peanuts separately. Will come back. :)

We’ve been to dozens of Vietnamese restaurants and we can confidently say that this is the best Vietnamese restaurant in the Greater Seattle Area. They have the best Bun Bo Hue (Vietnamese Spicy Beef Noodles), Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwich/Vietnamese Subway), and Bun Thit Nuong (Vietnamese Vermicelli Rice Noodles). Truly a contender for the best Asian restaurant in the Greater Seattle Area! Highly recommended!

Food was good. Cooked perfectly, very flavorful and all the veggies were fresh. Only negative is the restaurant was getting ready to shutdown for two weeks and they were out of certain ingredients and menu items. Service was fast and friendly. It’s a little small so not great for big groups. Prices are reasonable and portions good. I’d say it slightly cheaper than other options in Redmond.

Cute cafe with a nice atmosphere and nice decor. The staff is super friendly, helpful and the place is spotless - even the bathroom is very clean. Ordered for takeout: Grilled pork banh mi - good amount of filling, pork was juicy and flavorful, bread to filling ratio was good. Special beef pho - star of the show! Rich umami broth, slightly on the sweeter side. Came packed with a good amount of meat, happy to see they didn’t skimp on the accoutrements. Beef was very thinly sliced, which I love, and the portion of noodles and toppings was good as well. Very tasty and one of the best pho I’ve had around the area! Grilled chicken vermicelli - was also tasty. Chicken was grilled to perfection and the dish was fresh, sweet, savory, and well portioned. Thai iced tea - can’t go wrong with this beverage, always a winner. Prices were also reasonable which is so important these days. So many places have hiked up their prices to the point where I won’t get takeout anymore. This restaurant still charges decent and fair prices for their items which I really appreciate and I will keep them on my list for takeout. Over all I really enjoyed the food from here and would definitely return for even dining in sometime.

Omg!! Where should I start from I’m from Chicago and We came here just before heading to the airport! We were in rush and quickly ordered chicken pho, veggie pho and fresh spring rolls. The service was quick, thanks to them I dint miss my flight I know pho is supposed to be relaxing and can’t be eaten in hurry, but we still enjoyed the food that we ordered the broth was extremely flavorful with plenty of veggies :) and the FRESH SPRING ROLLS were excellent so crunchy, with the perfect puffed tofu oh my god every bite felt like heaven. Truly an amazing experience! Lovely staff, special thanks to them for serving everything quickly and I had to pack half of my pho Togo and enjoyed the rest of the pho while on my way to the airport :D Came back to Chicago with my tummy full and happy heart.

I have been going here specifically for banh mi Nha Trang as it is a very unique offering compared to other Viet restaurants and it is so delicious. I love how tender the meat is, the bun itself is very authentic well and doesn’t hurt the roof of mouth Today my partner and I ordered more food to try out. The vermicelli noodle was okay, the pork was too sweet for our taste sadly. The coffee was great, very strong Viet coffee taste The Thai milk tea was good too, like other Thai milk tea Service was quick and friendly. Hope they will have more seatings though taken how popular they are!

Whether I’m craving something cozy or want to try something new, this place always delivers. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is friendly without being overbearing. If you’re in Kirkland and haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out!
