"Ba Bar, known for its Vietnamese street food, is hosting Tet Nguyen Dan celebrations with special dishes like bánh chưng and bánh tét, along with festive cocktails." - Harry Cheadle
"As hip local chain Ba Bar has grown, so have its restaurants, which means this one in South Lake Union and its sibling in the University District have ample space for groups, inside and out, and you can call about reservations for groups of seven to 10. You’ll find one of the best bowls of pho in town here, made with high-quality ingredients and priced accordingly, as well as cocktails and plenty of other Vietnamese specialties from duck and pork belly rotisserie to bun bowls with vermicelli noodles to macarons for dessert." - Meg van Huygen, Mark Van Streefkerk, Jade Yamazaki Stewart, Adam H. Callaghan
"This Capitol Hill favorite recently expanded into South Lake Union and the University Village. At each outpost, Chef Eric Banh brings the street food of his childhood in Saigon to Amazon's sprawling tech campus. So expect vermicelli bowls and Vietnamese noodle soups, plus spectacular house-made sweets. Small plates range from spinach-tofu paper wraps to fried yellow-curried frog legs, while the house specials include bánh nậm : banana-leaf-wrapped rice tamales with Carlton Farms pork. But return to the original Ba Bar in Capitol Hill for the mini-chain's crowning glory: a late-night happy hour with discountedIPAs and frites with pho gravy. No reservations."
"The modern Vietnamese restaurant is offering 20 percent off call-in ordering at its Capitol Hill location (the South Lake Union and U Village outposts are also open for takeout and delivery from 11am-8pm daily). Some of the entrees available include bun moc (pork sausages with tofu and vermicelli), garlic crab noodles, and lemongrass rockfish." - Gabe Guarente
"Eric Bahn from Ba Bar, who has seen a 60 percent drop in business at the South Lake Union location, says these efforts, especially the tax and utility payment deferments, can certainly help address some pressing money issues." - Gabe Guarente
