Noodles near Normandy Park, WA

“Truly an experience. The owner went above and beyond to try and make everything enjoyable. She was very personable with many of the regular customers. I went to get the tendon pho, but it was off the menu, so I tried the Ox Tail pho and was pleasantly surprised with it.“

“This is not a regular restaurant. They do Philipino tasting menus and only take online reservations. They open on certain days of the week and serve only two dinner seatings on those nights. The food is interesting and tasty. However, the portion is on the petite side, so if you're hungry going in, you probably won't feel full coming out. The chef and staffs are friendly and very attentive. As the tasting menu goes, it's more about the experience, the stories, the influences, and the inspirations on the food.“

“The best Thai food in West Seattle. Everything was amazing. A true gem. Service- service is take out only. you call them to let them know you are outside and they bring it out to you. The lady working was extremely nice. Their prices are really good too.“

“The best pho in town if you ask me! I am always bummed they don’t have longer hours. There are been so many times I had to settle for other pho restaurants because they were closed.Anytime I can grab a bite here, I do! They will not disappoint.“

“This place nails it! I came here with my mom and we were both hoping to remember the food in Japan while we lived there. We had the beef udon and the okinomiyaki. Beef Udon came out in a huge bowl amply filled with thinly sliced beef, fresh vegetables and perfect chewy noodles. The broth was very flavorful and they had a big bowl of togarashi spice to flavor it up as you want! Order yourself an okinomiyaki right when you get in the door. It’s big enough to split or share for a party of four and it takes 20 minutes to make. It is hands down the most authentic, delicious okinomiyaki I’ve had anywhere outside of Japan. If you find a better one out here, anywhere, let me know because I want to go! Atmosphere is quiet and dim, good place for a weekend morning, especially if you need to take care of yourself after a late night out. This is the type of place that has the proprietors wedding photo in her Japanese formal wear on the wall. Go!“

“Good food and good service. The waiter was a nice young man who was very friendly. Inside is small. Menu is fairly simple, mostly focusing on Thai street food. There are some unique dishes like Hainanese Chicken and Northern Thai Curry. We tried 3 dishes: garlic pork was my favorite, followed by fried chicken salad. We tried Thai spicy (5/5 ) with the Northern Thai Curry with vermicelli, and it wasn't super spicy. The curry is quiet thick, and the flavor wasn't my favorite.“

“Great place, the air hockey table is a great touch and the decor is very interesting! Drinks tasted good and were made quickly, and it was a great place to chat with a few friends! I had a Hong Kong lemon tea and can definitely recommend it!“

“definitely in my top seattle spots! food always hits the spot, prices are pretty affordable - for our order, we pay less than $30 and have some food leftover. my boyfriend and i usually get a loco moco and a ginger chicken (with mac salad, sub white rice for spam fried rice), and it’s always a delight. honestly haven’t tried anything else because these are so good!pro tip - call ahead for pick up, we always call when we’re just headed out. food takes around 20 min if not more, so it’s nice to not wait too long. all the food is togo anyway + limited indoor seating to eat the food on the spot.“

“This is hands down my favorite restaurant. The service is always outstanding even on packed nights, the staff is incredibly attentive, and welcoming. You never have to worry about your dink going empty here. Not only is the food great quality and absolutely delicious, but food comes out in record time upon ordering. As a regular here my go to order is tokoyaki as the starter, curry Ramen as the main, and mango nigor (21+) for my drink. I highly recommend eating here!“

“Embark on a culinary journey at Alki Pho, where impeccable service and tantalizing flavors converge to create an unforgettable dining experience. introduced by a friend Angela H for her sister's wedding reception, I was astounded by the remarkable service and delectable dishes this hidden gem has to offer. Truly a haven for food enthusiasts!“

“Oh man. This food was crazy good I had the Fiesta plate which is chamoru food. I chose the brisket and BBQ chicken. Both had a nice char, great flavor, and good portions. that orange chamoru rice is just different in the best way possible. so much flavorThis was soooo good and the price is a bargain. buddy got the mochiko chicken and that was awesome as well.“

“Ginger Teriyaki offers the best of both worlds: delicious food and outstanding customer service. From their flavorful teriyaki dishes to their attentive staff, every visit is a delight. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, you’re guaranteed a satisfying experience. Highly recommend!“

“Consistent, good prices, great people and atmosphere. I’m glad we have this place soclose to home. Pho and Banh mis baby!! All the food is delicious, seriously.Parking: My only gripe is the parking. There simply isn’t much around so you may have to park around the block and walk in, first world problems I know.“

“5 stars on everything! This is the best vietnamese food i have had around renton! The spring rolls were crunchy and divine, also the eggrolls, holy moly, everything was delicious. The service was great as well, very friendly. Very impressed.“

“Only Pho place I got to . Have been going here for a decade . I've tried other pho only to waste my time and money with dish water broth n booty sweat. No this place is different and will always have excellent food . Crips clean and rich favor.“

“Popped in here on a whim the other day and am so happy I did. We got their pig ears, wontons, nine way noodles, and green Chili noodles. Every dish came out so flavorful and we will be returning very soon. The customer service was great! The workers here were attentive to and promptly refilled our water when they saw it was getting low, they even packed our food when we were done! I'm so glad to have another favorite restaurant in Federal Way to go to!“

“The owner is very friendly, their food is the best northern Chinese cuisine I had in the greater Seattle area, I tried pepper and pork intestine, lamb soup noodles, the stir fried veggie, and I tried the hand-pulled chicken last time, I like all of them! Their food would be my first choice if I need a party catering in the future ?“

“Food is excellent but on take out orders there is too much sauce and leaks through the takeout container into the bag. Last time there was hole in the bag and the sauce dripped everywhere before I realized. Need better containers or to use less sauce.“

“The banh mi sandwiches here are very good as are the spring rolls. Those are the two things I order when I come here and I always get it to go, so I can't speak about the service or ambiance. I have not tried the pho here but it always looks good. If you are craving Vietnamese food, this is a good option.“

“It has been a decade since I ordered Pad Thai because of how "normal" most places make it. The tamarind Pad Thai here is SO FLAVORFUL that it defies all expectations. I can't wait to order it again! The service is very straightforward. If you're after butler and sommelier service from a hole in the wall Thai joint by the railroad tracks, you need to manage your expectations. If you waffle on what you want to order, you're gonna have to wait longer, plain and simple. The two ladies running the place on our first visit did a great job and guests should get with their efficient program and not the other way around. I can not wait to go back for my favorite dish, Larb Gai.“

“My family and I are pho snobs who compare everything to our beloved Pho 75 on the East Coast where we're from. This place might be the best pho we've ever had. You select your meats, the portions are very generous, and little details like having authentic Sriracha sauce and fresh sprouts and lime show their attention to detail. We've found our go-to phos spot in Seattle!“

“Wow, really tasty food. Had 2 Bahn mi's - tofu and pork. Both loaded with fillings, they definitely didn't skimp. Also tried the fresh rolls/summer rolls, and the peanut sauce is fantastic! Parking was easy, ordering was easy, food came super fast, prices were cheap, all around a totally satisfying experience and this will be a future stop for sure. The owner did make it Crystal Clear that starting on 3/1/24, their prices are going to increase by a dollar, I think is amount he said.“

“Din Tai Fung is a great place for drinks and yummy food with friends. Always busy, you need a reservation if you want a seat without waiting too long. And don't be late or you will lose it.So many delicious options. The DTF Old Fashioned is very special with an oolong tea syrup. Wood ear mushrooms in vinegar dressing, Shanghai rice cakes, and Xaio Long Bao soup dumplings are standouts. Hot and sour soup is also delicious. Not shown is the fresh orange green iced tea with boba: very refreshing and not too sweet, the flavor of the jasmine green tea shines through highlighted by the orange juice. Highly recommend any of the locations for a fun and delicious meal.PS If you found this review helpful, please heart it. Thank you!“

“We ordered the mango salad which was recommended by the server as a house specialty. I thought it was just ok, nothing special. The mango juliennes were too thick mixed with fried pieces of tofu in their house sauce. We also shared the combo platter which was enough for 2. Overall, all the items we ordered were good. Lunch for 3 was about $60. Service was great.“

“I learned that every family's BBH has its own profile. This BBH is made with quality ingredients and a good heart with a lighter flavor profile IMO. I don't have a MSG effect after having the soup.The service is fast and friendly. If I'm in the area, I will definitely come back for more. Pricing is friendly compared to other pho restaurants around CID and not to mention in the Eastside. Parking and another entrance is in the back from the Safeway parking direction.“

“This place has gone uphill with the new owners. The gentlemen greets us every time with a smile, gets our order correct and really has pride in his restaurant. The decor is wonderful and food is consistently great. I rate pho based on a few criteria of what we typically prefer to order and this restaurant is one of the few that hits them all.-Spring , has option for grilled pork or chicken and they’re delicious!-Peanut , homemade- Chicken , I love the fish sauce wings, they’re fresh, but wish I had more of that sauce-Chili/garlic Two types, homemade and both spicy how i like it-Pho , consistently amazing with deep flavors with-Portion , perfect for a great price-, they don’t skimpPro tip: I suggested that his wife bottle and sell her spicy chili sauce, it’s delicious! The next time we came in, she did and we bought a few Togo. Be careful-it’s spicy!“

“Easily a 5* stop, don't miss it. They serve complimentary tea which is what pushes this place over the top for me. Delicious, simple, fresh ingredients. AMAZING BROTH. Best pho in the area. All my homies burned by Pho Bac come and see this place.“

“Really good dumpling place! The fried dumpling reminded me of my childhood version in Korea! The two Wang (king) dumpling types (w/ and w/o kimchi) were both really good. We had he soup version of the dumplings also, which was good as well. It was interesting that the initial "drink" was not water but was their "soup base."“

“Steam bun dumplings are huge and filling Fried flat dumpling is my favorite haven't will be back to try the other choices on their menu. Simple menu and fast service. If you're looking for something easy and simple Korean food this is the place to be.“

“I got the spicy chicken teriyaki (my personal default) combo with the four piece gyoza. I came in after lunch around 1:45pm after calling in my order. I picked up my order, paid, thanked the staff and left. It was a nice day, so I drove down to a park to enjoy the weather while I ate.The plating was three quarters rice, one quarter salad with the chicken on top of the rice. Portions were pretty generous. I would say there was about three chicken thighs worth of meat on there. The chicken was a little messy in its arrangement, but it may have been jostled on my journey down. It did look like the chicken was tossed in a sauce after cooking, as the cut sides of the chicken were colored by the sauce pretty consistently. But that also could have come from an additional application of sauce once the chicken was plated. The chicken itself was great. It had a little bit of char on it (as it should) but wasnt overcooked. It could’ve had a little more char on it, but what I got would suffice. I wouldn’t describe it as juicy, but it was not dry whatsoever. The sauce coating the chicken was sweeter than what I was used to, but balanced out well with the rice. They gave me an additional sauce cup that I put on top. That sauce was unusually thick, and took some work to get mixed/spread over the chicken. I honestly don’t even think it was necessary for me to use it, but it was fine. The chicken was good, bordering on great.The rice took up enough of the sauce to imbue it with some of its tasty flavor making the rice experience quite pleasant. The grains were of a medium to medium-short variety which is pretty typical of most teriyaki establishments. The rice didnt show any signs of it sitting in a rice cooker too long nor did it show any signs of overcooking. The rice stuck together in clumps pretty well even after absorbing some of the sauce. Overall the rice was good.The salad was of the iceberg mix variety with a few slivers of carrots in it, again pretty typical. Like it came from a grocery store pre-mix bag. Not that its a bad thing. The dressing was medium thickness, sweet and slightly acidic. It was pretty comparable to most teriyaki restaurants.The gyoza were fried well, and had a nice crispy shell. The shell itself did not show signs of freezer burn and had nice blistering from frying. The filling felt pretty average but that is saying that I still enjoyed it very much. The dipping sauce for the gyoza was not too soy sauce heavy. It had a nice acidity likely from a mirin or a rice wine vinegar and a touch of sesame oil for flavor paired very well with the dumplings.The meal was expensive though, I was out the door $21 poorer (not including tip). Now this could totally be my fault for not looking at the reciept or menu more closely, but I was expecting the charge to be more like $18 based on the images of their menu on google. However, they dont have a spicy chicken teriyaki + gyoza item on their menu specifically though they do have one thats teriyaki + 3 gyoza + 1 egg roll. So maybe I was charged a non-combo price.Overall, 8/10 experience on the meal. The price knocks down a point and the chicken not being fresh sliced does as well. But it still gets 5 stars because its great. Theres nothing wrong here and they get most everything just the way it should be. I would recommend this spot to anyone in the area.“

“Small restaurant, but there is plenty of parking. It is located across from the H Mart shopping mall. Pho is decent, and they have more selections on their menu, such as Wonton Egg Noodles and other authentic Vietnamese dishes. However, I only had Pho & the Wonton Egg Noodles. They were tasty. The price is cheaper than the other pho restaurants nearby. I like this restaurant because it's not as popular as the one nearby, but its quicker service, and no additional charge for take to go fee. It's worth eating here vs. a chain pho restaurant across street.“

“We were served tea after taking seats, I think its a cultural respect. There may be a language barrier. They serve pretty fast, if you're on a short lunch break. Satisfying broth!! Sadly, I didn't like the chicken pieces. My husband ordered a brisket pho, enjoyed it. Spring rolls sauce is milky, we didn't like the taste, I am used to a peanut sauce. This place is a bit hidden, I didn't even notice it at first, as we only see Massage on the building, had to research a new Pho (our favorite Pho Hoang closed in Gateway Center) they just replaced it with Crawfish Island this month. I would go back here for the yummy broth!Parking: There is parking in the back“
