The 15 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"Ever since Anthony Bourdain made a stop here for an episode of The Layover, Rainier BBQ has been a busy destination for Vietnamese food in South Seattle. Recommendations include hu tieu nam vang (glass noodle soup packed with herbs and your choice of protein), shaking cube beef, and ong choy beef salad with its curly wisps of water spinach. The Rainier catfish is the head-turner for newcomers, as the deep-fried fish averages close to eight pounds each and overhang the platters as they come out of the kitchen with a sizzle. Your server can show you how to make wraps with all the accompaniments." - Jay Friedman
