The Best Restaurants in the Eastside of King County | Eater Seattle

"The downtown Bellevue location of Eric and Sophie Banh’s fine-dining Vietnamese restaurant serves dishes made with the same care that has wowed diners in Seattle since the original restaurant opened in 1999. Expect dishes not found at other Vietnamese restaurants in the area like fresh rolls filled with avocado and raw ahi tuna and perfectly-balanced cumin lamb made with house-fermented soy beans. Though more common, the subtly flavored green papaya salad is just as impressive as the other dishes, achieving a perfect balance of salt, acid, sugar, and funk." - Brett Bankson
