"Known as the orginal Phở Bắc location, this Seattle classic specializes in a few non-soup dishes we can’t get enough of. Even if The Boat only served their crackly cornish hen blasted with garlic alongside chrysanthemum salad and phở broth, we’d be content. But then there are the fluffy pandan and pink pineapple waffles, and delightfully saucy dry egg noodles. While the space is tight, cool air fills the literal boat-shaped restaurant and it never feels stuffy, making it a great daytime pitstop whenever you’re near Little Saigon." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
