It was my first time going and I loved the crispy imperial rolls. They are so freaking good. For lunch I got Singaporean Noodle and it came with chicken and shrimp. I wasn't a fan but I've never had it before. I will go back to try their pho dip steak sandwich. It looks so freaking good.

Seeing a lot of reviews about undercooked meat and "white washed" food. I'm speaking as a South East Asian person who grew up in the Bay Area that this is the best Vietnamese restaurant I have had. Yes, if you order noodle soup dishes, your beef is going to be raw. That's just how it's served at any authentic Vietnamese place you go. I haven't been back to Ba Bar is since years since I moved out of Seattle. Came back today and I was soooo incredibly satisfied. The flavors were on point and my oh my it was just SO delicious. Fish sauce and more fish sauce please!! I could eat here everyday if I lived here. I just rolled my pork, garlic, peppers, and noodles in the lettuce leaf and nom nom nom'd. The soup was nice and helped balanced out the spiciness of the peppers.

Our first time visiting Ba Bar. The food was great, and it came out quickly. Our drinks were amazing in taste and presentation. Our server was kind and offered great recommendations. It appears this location does have patio seating if you’re looking for it although we did eat inside. The restrooms were also clean and well-maintained. We recommend and we will be back. I wish we had taken photos, but it was so good we went right to eating lol.

Came here on a weekday evening with a friend and enjoyed it. The vibe is casual and the decor is cool - it doubles as both a cafe in front and restaurant elsewhere. As others have mentioned, this place gets busy on evenings - even during the weekdays - I suspect due to the close proximity of workspaces that probably come here after the day's done. We got a table of 2 and were seated after a few minutes. I got the Phở Tái Lăn with an egg ($19.50, he got the Phở Hà Nội ($17.50) and we got the Bún Chả Hà Nội ($19.50) to split. Each dish was unique and the broth for my dish had great flavor. I got to try part of the savory donut that my friend got and that was good, too! The service was good and the menus are QR-code based. I thought the prices were somewhat on the higher end for Pho but it is what it is. Total was $62.30 without tip.

BaBar in Seattle is awesome for after-work drinks. Great vibes, delicious food to share, and killer cocktails. Perfect way to unwind with happy hours and small bitesParking: There is free garage parking after 5pm close by.

We had Pho Tai Lan and Pho Ha Noi Style both were very flavorful. The music and atmosphere were very pleasant as well. All in all it's a lovely corner Cafe to meet with good friends.Oh, and they have plenty of Gluten free options.

The food and atmosphere is good. I am giving 3 starts however because when I went to pay and the waiter ran my car on their hand machine they did not hand the machine to me select the tip. They held the machine and stood over me and watched me as I selected the tip. It made me feel very uncomfortable like I was not someone who was to be trusted. Sincerely, Your always 20% tip giver
