BEST PHO:
Pho Bac 1314 S. Jackson St
(The bright pink place at 14th)
Lainie says: I've
eaten Pho here since 1987 !!! The best Pho in town...they still
simmer their broth for 24 hours...tai, gua, bo vien is my meaty
fave, with steamed beans sprouts, so your soup doesn't get cooled
down. try mixing the hoisin sauce and the red sauce to dip your
bo vien in. they also have this fried bread when you’re in
the greasy mood for it, that you either dip or piece into your
pho like crackers. Top all of this off with cafe sua da (french
iced coffee). UPDATE 2002: Denise paid a visit to the new location in the Internat'l District (on 7th?), and raved about the chicken with rice noodles (#17). Desiree agrees that it is a very good dish. Also noticed that a new location has popped up right next to the famous (no-longer-pink) landmark on Jackson and 14th.
Pho Than Brothers 516 Broadway East (also at 7714 Aurora & on the Ave near 42nd)
A new contender! Than Brothers has three locations, but only the one on Broadway serves Vegetarian Pho. And not only that, the vegetarian broth is utterly delicious, rich and complex. Finally a pho place that I can take my sweetheart to! The regular pho with meat is also just wonderful. Their cafe sua da is perfectly (and traditionally) done as well. When you add in the factor of the delectable cream puffs which are served with every meal, you've hit upon the new winner in the Best Pho category.
BEST VIETNAMESE SANDWICHES:
Seattle Deli 1221 S. Main
Street 328-0106
Tuan said this is
his favorite place, and said to get the barbecue pork sandwich.
The consensus was that it was very very good. Denise ordered the chicken
(banh mi ga) and it was to die for (Desiree liked it even better than
the barbecue pork), with plenty of 5-spice. The ham sandwich was also
good. Get the Banana Tapioca Pudding, everyone who tried it
agreed it was delicious. Desiree liked the bread here better than
anywhere else. They also had a million other intriguing-looking
morsels to go back and try. This place is highly recommended.
Antra says: the Seattle Deli rocked merely due to the
prices-vegetarian with a lot of cilantro=50 cents. Great deal!!! UPDATE 2002: we concur with last year's findings: this place has some of the best sandwiches in Seattle. The barbeque pork is in chunks, hot off the skewer. The bread really is noticably better than other places. Denise said the banh mi ga (chicken) had her tastebuds singing.
Saigon Deli 1200 S Jackson 322-3700
New for 2002, this place is simply a cornucopia! Their hot dishes look wonderful, their desserts are very worthwhile (get a helping of the viscous yellow mung beans, which comes with a goodly-sized ladle of coconut cream over the top). They make their own soymilk, happily bubbling away in a drink dispenser, and their pennyroyal drink looks interesting, too. The star of the show, the banh mi, is just as good as you would expect from looking at their other entrees. The barbecued pork sandwich was heavy on the slices of hot, succulent meat which truly tasted of "pork" not merely meat-like substance. The shredded pork sandwich was good too, although some members of the tasting party were put off by the interesting texture.
Buu Dien 923 S Jackson,
233-9001. Open daily 8-6
Lainie &
Albert both like this place. It’s smoky inside. Kind of slow
at lunchtime. They had a sardine sandwich which was really
delicious, and it was the only place we saw that variety. The
vegetable sandwich was yummy and extremely worthwhile, with
plenty of white pepper to make it spicy. The combo (#1) was good,
but not better than Saigon Gourmet. Desiree had an issue with the
bread; too crunchy/crumbly.
Saigon Gourmet 502 S. King
Street 624-2611 (across from Uwajimaya)
Desiree likes the
combo here better than from anywhere else. Mathew, Lainie, and Lauren love
the tofu version (it's truly vegetarian, utilizing soy sauce instead of fish sauce). Desiree thinks the egg is pretty good when you're in the mood for a fried-egg sandwich. The barbecue pork is only
so-so; it’s the sliced barbecue pork like you get in Chinese
restaurants, as opposed to pork grilled on skewers, so their version is not as good as
Seattle Deli’s. They are really fast. If you sit down in the restaurant you can order their pho which features very good broth.
ALSO TRY FOR SANDWICHES:
Saigon Sandwiches 1034 S
Jackson, 322-5622. Mon-Sat 9-7; Sun 9-6.
This little Vietnamese deli boasts
one of Seattle's best sandwich bargains. One dollar brings a
fresh French roll smeared with pork pâté and housemade mayo,
thin slices of two kinds of cured pork, and pickled onions,
carrot, cucumber and daikon. Cilantro adds fresh flavor.
Jalapeño is optional. Buy five and get the sixth free. So
successful has Saigon Sandwiches been, it's spun off a large,
neat deli/restaurant, Pho & Banh Mi Saigon (banh mi means
sandwiches) on Rainier Avenue.
Pho & Banh Mi Saigon 810
Rainier Avenue S
A spin-off of a little
International District Vietnamese deli called Saigon Sandwiches,
this clean, neat place opened a few blocks away in summer 1998.
Comprising two dining rooms (one nonsmoking), the restaurant/deli
offers the usual (pho, or noodle soup in beef broth; rice noodle
soup; and rice dishes such as beef ribs and roasted chicken)
along with the unusual—at least in Seattle. The latter
include durian (a Southeast Asian fruit noted, when it's in its
shell, for strong odor); avocado shakes; penny wart (a leaf)
drink; and ngo gai, an expensive herb with a cilantro/basil
flavor that is served with the pho. All dishes cost $6.50 or
less, the price range of simple Vietnamese food elsewhere in
Seattle. At the banh mi counter, however, real bargains appear:
sandwiches in fresh French rolls that cost $1 to $1.50, with a
buy-five-get-six inducement. The cheapest sandwich comprises
smears of pork pâté and housemade mayo; pickled cucumber,
carrot, daikon and onion; cilantro; (optional) jalapeño; and two
kinds of thinly sliced cured pork. Top-end choices are barbecued
pork and chicken.
Broadway Café 1519
Broadway 323-8116 Mon-Sat 10-8:30
A tiny storefront with a
bargain-priced Asian-American menu featuring many vegetarian
items in addition to teriyaki, Korean-style short ribs,Vietnamese
sandwiches and hamburgers. Antra says: I have to put my vote in for Broadway
Café in Capitol Hill. It is a little more expensive than the 50
cent ones found in the International District, but it is worth
the $2.50 you will spend. The woman who makes them lived in
Hawaii, and it is there that she perfected the recipe for the
sauce. Believe me, I pressed for info. It is an exceptional time. Desiree says: They have three varieties, chicken, pork, and tuna. I tried the pork and while the meat itself was good, shredded with chilis in it, the sandwich had lettuce, tomato, and those huge bean sprouts instead of the traditional pickled daikon and carrots. There was also no evidence of any hot sauce, soy sauce, or fish sauce, so it was kind of on the bland side with just mayonnaise. I'll try again, though.....
Saigon Deli Jackson Square
(next to Welcome Supermarket) 1200 S Jackson, 322-3700. Open
daily 7-7
Alarmingly cheap, this deli puts
all other sandwiches to shame. That all-too-rare occurrence, a
vegetarian stroke of genius, explodes inside their vegetarian
sandwich, featuring sweet, deep-fried tofu over a base of fish
sauce, with oil and vinegar in place of mayonnaise. The pinnacle
of Vietnamese sandwiches, though, is Saigon Deli's marinated
grilled pork. This sweet and smoky substance amazed
sandwich-tasters, eliciting moans and ravished squeals. No better
pork fix exists. Boy, do we ever agree! See our comments above.
Banh Mi Saigon 1 on
Jackson, west of Thanh Vi (the same as Saigon Sandwiches
mentioned above)
A distinctive vegetable sandwich
from its diminutive storefront. The secret lies in a sprinkling
of fish sauce over mayonnaise and punchy amounts of vinegar
flavoring the pickled vegetables, resulting in a crisp and
clean-tasting sandwich. Saigon Sandwich offers other fat-marbled
luncheon meats, but the vegetable sandwich is their signature
piece. Mathew and Desiree tried a couple sandwiches from here, but we don't even remember them. Clearly they were lacking any distinguishingly delicious characteristics. Perhaps they'll get another try, but it's hard with the siren call of both Seattle Deli and Saigon Deli just the other side of 12th......
My's Restaurant 4220
University Way NE (on the Ave)
Ron says: Good
cheap eats...Try the Chicken pho...Also have decent Vietnamese
sandwiches. This is the reason why I didn't starve my senior year
at the UW. I mentioned it was cheap...right?!? So if you only
happen to have less than or equal to 5 bones in those pockets and
you're anywhere near the U district and you’re starving and
you don't mind sharing your meal with a mix crowd of
professor-types to solemn-dark-clad-bookish types to Asian frat
boys ... then this is the place.
PLACES TO GIVE ANOTHER TRY:
Vietnam’s Pearl 708
Rainier S 726-1581
Lainie says: best
escargot soup of them all, last time I ate there was 7 years ago
so the food may have gone downhill. Desiree was unimpressed after
one visit, but is willing to go back to try the 5-spice roast
chicken. Update from Desiree: Nope, ain't having none of it. The 5-spice roast chicken started out tasty, but got boring, and it was not worth putting up with slow waitstaff who challenge your selections ("you won't like that"). Also had a tofu/pork selection that was good but so what?
Pho Hoa 618 S. Weller St.
624-7189
Five bucks buys a birdbath's worth
of Vietnamese noodle soup - star anise-scented broth, floating
brisket, flank, tendon, tripe and fatty flank.
Super Bowl Noodle House 814
N.E. 65th St 526-1570
Sahara Noodles (hold the broth).
M-80 Noodles: The broth packs a wallop - even before you help
yourself to the array of heat-enhancers at your elbow - so taste
before you doctor. Expect to clear those sinuses with this bowl
of the works and your choice of peanut-sprinkled rice, egg or
cellophane noodles. Donald Duck Noodles: Chinese five-spice
assaults the senses even before the soup hits the table. As
advertised, the broth was rich and dark - ditto the duck meat
nesting over fresh egg noodles. Kamol introduced us all to this place, out in the Roosevelt District. Only been once or twice, need to refresh our memories. Who's driving? UPDATE 2002: A group of us made another run out there, and here are our findings. The Heart and Soul Noodles are a favorite; very spicy green curry consumed to the last smear on the plate. The Super Bowl Noodles are also very good; Kamol orders them every time. Desiree tried the Sahara Desert Noodles, and while the flavor was good, the noodles had been overcooked so the texture was disappointing. You can tell from the prices that you're a long way from the International District, and Desiree for one does not find the journey worthwhile when there are so many more satisfying destinations much closer to "home".
PLACES TO AVOID:
Pho.com in Pioneer Square
Desiree says: Lame
pho (no depth or richness to the broth at ALL), lame salad rolls
(no mint or cilantro, just noodles, lettuce and suspiciously
fishy shrimp), rice noodle bowl w/ eggrolls was nothing special;
vietnamese combo sandwich was an unsatisfying combination of too
salty, meat that had been sliced too thick, and no cilantro.)
Thuy Tien 1228 S. Jackson
St
This was
Ira’s favorite place for Vietnamese sandwiches, but that was
many years ago. The combo had an interesting tangy addition, a
different variety of pickled radish maybe, but it had some very
fatty bacon-type meat in it which was off-putting. They had a
tofu sandwich (unadvertised) but it was very poorly done. This
place had the colorful desserts in cups which looked intriguing,
but not any more so than Seattle Deli. Overall, the experience
was disheartening. Not recommended.
Thanh Vi on Jackson west of
12th
Desiree tried the
broken rice with a pork chop and omelet. It was okay, but not worth ordering again. Mathew had some "unremarkable" soup-like
substance. We've heard good reports of their banh mi, so we'll have to give them another chance, however.
OTHER NOTES:
Viet My on Prefontaine
Desiree says: I
couldn’t get beyond ordering the Curry Tofu until Lainie introduced me to the Shrimp
Satay. I need to branch out a little. Also they offer consistently
good salad rolls (cheap, too!). And the best hot tea of any Asian
restaurant I’ve been too. The proprietor blends her own mix of tea leaves. UPDATE Spring 2001: Oh, the pain: they are gone, perhaps to re-open in a new location. We are all sending our prayers their way. UPDATE Summer 2001: Viet My has re-opened in a limited fashion in the Columbia Tower Food Court. They do not offer the satay or the tea from this location, which is a great loss. An even greater loss, however, is the fact that they are now forced to make their salad rolls in advance, and they just aren't as good when they've been sitting in plastic. The tofu curry is still delectable, although (and this might sound strange) the vegetables are in bigger chunks than before so the overall flavor of the curry is diminished. The soups are great, and it's fun to see the options spread out before you so you can point at what you want. I really miss their restaurant, however, and I can tell that the proprietor does too.
Saigon Bistro just west of
S Jackson St at 12th Ave S
Desiree says try
the Egg Noodle Soup with Duck; Lainie recommends the excellent
tofu spring rolls (they use mint! and creamy peanut dipping
sauce.) Desiree and Mat tried their banh mi from the Uwajimaya location: They use fresh slivered jalepeno instead of chili sauce, which adds a great green flavor, but the sandwich isn't "wet" enough; maybe they need to add a bit more mayo to make up for it. Mat said the shredded tofu sandwich was good, but not as good as Saigon Gourmet. He felt the vegetables (daikon, carrot, cilantro, etc) were scanty rather than being offered as an integral part of the sandwich. Desiree tried one each of the chicken and the pork, both of which feature the meat hot off the grill. The chicken was kind of ho-hum. The pork had excellent flavor, and would qualify for a repeat performance, except the quality of the meat was highly disappointing, with more than one occurrence of non-edible fat/gristle.
Moonlight Café S Jackson
St at 20th Ave S
Desiree can’t
say enough about this place. Who needs meat when textured
vegetable protein can be prepared this well? Really delicious,
full-flavored Vegetarian Salad Rolls, Vegetarian Lemongrass
Chicken, Vegetarian Roast Chicken, Vegetarian Cashew Chicken, Vegetarian Salmon. Ten times
better than Bamboo Garden. Maybe a hundred times better. Plus they make their own soy milk. Their offerings from the regular menu don't disappoint, either. Very very good rice stick noodles with incredibly delicious grilled pork and chopped eggroll!
Phnom Penh Noodle House 660 S. King St
I know, I know; this is Cambodian rather than Vietnamese, but they deserve a rave and this is a good place to put it. Desiree says: I remember when they were located in tiny, two-storey green storefront, when there were only 8 items on the menu. Their move enabled them to expand their seating and their menu, luckily for us. Their exquisitely flavored soup broth is a revelation. Denise turned us all on to the Cambodian Fried Rice (order it, especially if you think you don't like fried rice). Battambang's Favorite Noodle is for when you want noodles without the soup, and is quite good. Lokluk is Albert's favorite (steak cubes with plenty of garlic and black pepper) and is a taste not to be missed. Finally tried their noodle soup, and man oh man, do they make a great broth. The soup is topped with crispy crumbled garlic and it is simply soul-affirming.
Anne's Teriyaki 2246 NW Market St.
Tasty food and priced right too. Anne's has everything from your standard teriyaki to a bunch of good noodle dishes, to some especially good Pho noodle soup. For those of you who love Pho, especially on those cold and rainy winter nights, Anne's should be on your short list. Don't ask me how they find that fresh basil in the middle of January, but they do.
Steve B. says (and Desiree concurs) the curry chicken here is yum-ola. Desiree adds: skip the fresh spring rolls. They suck. But the tofu sate is delicious, thicker than the sate at Viet My and wonderfully spicy (and where else have we seen a vegetarian sate option???). The Thai iced tea has a very smoky taste, bordering on bitter, but I'm sure some people like it that way, so I'm merely noting it, not complaining.
OTHER VIETNAMESE PLACES TO TRY:
Huong Binh 1207 S Jackson
st 720-4907
A really fine Vietnamese place
that serves the cuisine of Hue, the Imperial city of Vietnam.
Particularly good is the com thit Nuong (a.k.a. "No.
1"), a skewer of marinated, grilled pork beautifully
garnished with tomatoes, shredded carrots, green onion, and
cucumbers. Best of all, Huong Binh effuses a generous spirit,
with service that's swift and smiling and owners that are more
interested in educating you than in intimidating you with their
elegant cuisine. Try the sour, sticky tamarind balls). Item #17
(Bun Thit Nuong): Marinated with garlic and lemon grass, pork is
pounded flat, skewered, grilled and presented on a tray with
leafy lettuce and a bouquet of basil, mint and cilantro. Wrap the
fragrant meat and rau (herbs) in lettuce leaves, then dip in the
sweet-hot sauce provided. Crushed peanuts and scallions add
crunch to the heap of rice noodles. Item #10 (Banh Hoi Thap Cam):
Charbroiled pork meatballs (far better than those rubbery numbers
sampled at many a pho house), skewers of grilled pork and
tails-on shrimp and a fried "shrimp roll" (minced
shrimp cake rolled around a stick of sugar cane: pick it up, eat
the "roll" then suck the cane) make this the ultimate
combo plate. (reviewed by Seattle Times or Seattle Weekly)
Monsoon 615 19th Ave E
325-2111
Vietnamese tradition but never
shies from Northwest innovation. Beautiful presentations. Halibut
steamed with lily buds and shiitake mushrooms on a frond of
banana leaf. Salmon: musky taste from green tea leaves. Malaysian
laksa ("spicy lemongrass curry vermicelli") served with
seafood, grilled chicken, or tofu and mushrooms. Crispy tofu with
onions and mushrooms - pillows of bean curd flecked with bits of
lemongrass. Outstanding tofu spinach salad (topped with more of
that crispy tofu) with baby spinach, pickled ginger and
delightful marinated baby leeks. Ten-spice flank steak sautéed
with onions is delicious. Lemongrass- mesquite-grilled pork
tenderloin (better when on a baguette, at lunch and weekend
brunch). Anything with curry, whether the asparagus and tiger
prawn curry with yam (plenty of shrimp), or wok-fried lemongrass
chicken. Dessert: smooth coconut creme caramel. (reviewed by
Seattle Times or Seattle Weekly)
Cafe Hue 312 2nd Avenue S
(at Jackson Street)
At this French/Vietnamese hybrid,
you'll find Nicoise salad, escargots and crab farci alongside
Vietnamese specialties such as bun bo xao (rice noodles with
lettuce, mint, bean sprouts and cucumber) and beef wrapped in
Lolos leaves. The large Pioneer Square dining room copies the
style of a Vietnamese country restaurant, making it more elegant
than many other local Vietnamese establishments. Try the spicy
crab soup, made with freshly ground pepper that adds a nice kick
to the fresh herbs and vegetables. A wine list with many European
selections complements the food. Service can be spotty, if
friendly.
Than Brothers Restaurant
7714 Aurora Ave N 527-5973 (See BEST PHO category above)
On your next trip to Chubby &
Tubby, stop off for some of the best pho north of the
International District. Than Brothers’ bowls of the
traditional Vietnamese rice noodle soup are huge, cheap,
steaming, and fragrant. The Godzilla-sized extra-large is only
$4.95. Order your bowl topped with chicken, meatballs, paper-thin
slices of "well-done flank," or with tripe. Customize
it with mint leaves, bean sprouts, sliced jalapeno, then add a
shake or two of hoisin, fish sauce, or chili paste. Custard puffs
come as an appetizer, and you can also order a plate for dessert.
If you want anything besides pho or custard, go elsewhere.
Saigon Restaurant 1916 Pike
Pl 448-1089
Sidle up to the counter, or duck
into one of the cozy tables in this refreshingly airy and
trustworthy haven in the Market. They’ve got pho, noodle
dishes, and our favorite, the catfish in a delectable ginger
sauce. A simple salad, shredded carrots over cold rice noodles
with meat and crushed peanuts, makes us happy to sit for an hour,
but the prices are fair and the service extremely swift and
pleasant.
University Noodle Shop 4235
University Wy NE 632-2364
Stuck in amidst Chinese and
teriyaki and near the newest Denny’s to grace our fair city,
the unassuming Noodle Shop is worth a second look. It’s
nothing special inside, just one of your basic takeout counters
with some booths off to the side in another room and several
tables in front of the window. But the prices are unbeatable, and
the food is consistent and, if you like Vietnamese and Thai,
totally satisfying. Vietnamese sandwiches ($1.50!) take
inspiration from their colonizers and cloak their fried tofu,
sausage, cucumbers, and carrots in French bread. They also serve
phad Thai, curries, pho, and other variations on noodles and
vegetables. And, given the customers who come in to order their
"regular" spicy miso, these folks are doing something
right. Antra
says: I have had a bite of the sandwich at Universtiy Noodle
Shop; it was... nice.
Pho Bac Ha, 22716 Highway
99 N., Edmonds. 425-776-2349
In addition to more than a dozen
variations on the bowl-'o-soup them, this restaurant boasts a
full (though not particularly extensive) menu of Vietnamese eats
- including lotus root, shrimp-and-pork saalad, salted, braised
catfish, charbroiled meats with broken rice, and sautéed shrimp
with spicy salt (chomp on the "feet" and don't peel the
shells or you'll miss eating the best part). Less adventurous
diners can make do with India-style curry chicken and Chinese-y
shrimp fried rice, then order a 7-Up rather than the far more
interesting sweet coconut drink that's presented in a tall glass
with crushed ice. Spoon the young coconut slices from the bottom
of the glass and you won't want - or need - dessert. Pho Tai Nam:
Star anise and onion perfume a light beef broth. Rare beef (it
cooks through as it bathes) crowns a nest of rice noodles. Some
folks doctor theirs up with chili paste or hoisin sauce, but I
say leave well enough alone; the bean sprouts, Thai basil,
jalapenos and lime served on the side (to use at your discretion)
add enough intrigue. 1/2 Steamed Chicken With Green Onion: Don't
let the description fool you: there's nothing ordinary about this
light-but-crunchy-skinned bird, chopped into bite-sized pieces
and very moist.
Southsea Grill & Noodle
Restaurant 514 12th Ave. 860-8164
Dozens of Vietnamese places now
dot the local landscape, but none is less expensive or more
welcoming than the Southsea Grill near Seattle University.
Beautifully tender, unfried "potstickers" with ground
pork fillings light as marshmallow. Outstanding Chicken Pho.
Van Loi 3226 Rainier Ave S
725-8630 daily 6-7
The draw of this Rainier Valley
Vietnamese restaurant is apparent the second you walk in the
door: While half of the space is devoted to the eatery itself,
the rest of the place houses the noodle factory's open kitchen.
As the ladies buzz behind the scenes, you can check out the
fridge case stuffed to capacity with styro trays of meatballs and
shrimp paste wrapped around sticks of sugar cane. On the counter,
you might be distracted by the brightly hued, sweet sticky rices
with dates pressed into them, and the foil-lined boxes filled
with banh beo (soft rice cakes). The bun (spaghetti-like rice
noodles) and banh hoi (vermicelli), are the thing, and it would
behoove you to take the advice of the counter woman/chef, who
might correct your naive order on the spot, "You don't want
that. You want these kind of noodles I made fresh." Flying
saucers of rice cakes are super soft, a little gummy when fresh
and definitely worth a try. Each one has a thumbprint-sized
impression in the center, which is filled loosely with a crumble
of mung-bean paste, sweet shrimp dust and scallions. When dunked
into chilified fish sauce, they're oddly good. Two hearty spears
of charbroiled pork rest on a pile of Vietnamese spaghetti. Of
course, you know what to do: strip off a bit of meat, swish the
rice noodles in some sauce, break off a few basil leaves and try
to wrap some lettuce around the whole lot for an integrated bite.
Or whatever your method is. The rice vermicelli is by far my
favorite thing here. Less a pile of strands than a webby mat of
the skinniest noodles imaginable. Don't be disappointed if they
come in a strategic clump; this is to your advantage. Easy to
maneuver and ultra sauce-absorbent, they're incredibly tender and
yummy on their own, and more so with a bit of basil and sugar
cane shrimp. Desiree and Denise headed down here for lunch one day and left stuffed, well-satisfied, and amazed at what a revelation fresh rice noodles are. The prices are also phenomemal. The Fresh Rice Vermicelli with sugarcane shrimp (#13) was just as good as described above, and well worth ordering again (although, as far as the shrimp itself goes, Desiree has had better renditions elsewhere, so next time is trying the barbeque pork). Both versions of the fresh rice cakes were sampled (#1 & #2) and they were good, but not as good as the version at Phnom Penh in Vancouver BC. They required the accompanying dipping sauce to make them worthwhile. Denise highly enjoyed #11 (banh tam bi nuoc dua) which featured thick rice noodles with the delicious addition of coconut sauce. Their fresh-made lemonade was delicious, and there were no complaints about the cafe sua da from Denise. Definitely on the to-try-again list (although if you care about such things, it is not a very tidy environment and smoking is allowed throughout; fair warning).
Giao's has moved next door to its
original location on 2nd in Belltown and become a Giao's
Express (lunch only).
