"This Vietnamese spot on Winslow is our (second) favorite place to sneak away for a day-off lunch on Bainbridge Island. While the menu is stacked with great phở and bánh mì, we would come here solely for their puffy salt and pepper tempura prawns with chili oil-slicked egg noodles, or order of truffled pork wontons and crackly taro-stuffed egg rolls. Enjoy it all in their dining room complete with mellow golden wood and a giant painting of a catfish, or out on their covered patio." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

While the menu is stacked with great bún, phở, and bánh mì, we would come here solely for their puffy salt and pepper tempura prawns with chili oil-slicked egg noodles, or a couple orders of truffled pork wontons and crackly taro-stuffed egg rolls.

"The Nguyens moved from a refugee camp in Thailand to the U.S. when they were young children and later worked at their parents’ restaurant Pho T&N in Poulsbo (which they now run). Ba Sa, which opened just months before the onset of the COVID pandemic, combines traditional Vietnamese recipes with local ingredients and adds some global twists — a banh mi with karaage chicken, avocado spring rolls, a pear and cheese panna cotta for dessert." - Harry Cheadle
"Vietnamese siblings Trinh and Thai Nguyen— who came to the U.S. as refugees — explore the food of their childhood at this modern Bainbridge Island restaurant. Southeast Asian flavors meet locally farmed and foraged ingredients in dishes like pho, served with dry-aged ribeye or mushrooms, while small plates like the shrimp and pork wontons swimming in pools of chili and truffle oil and the chili-lime-butter calamari offer moments of decadence." - Jay Friedman
"Bainbridge Island’s modern Vietnamese restaurant might be the only Vietnamese restaurant in the area with a dedicated brunch menu, available Saturdays and Sundays only, 10 a.m to 3:30 p.m. Dishes include a passionfruit-cereal French toast, ube egg waffles with karaage, garlic fried rice with a fried egg, and a few types of congee with Chinese donuts. There’s a patio on the side of the restaurant for outside dining during warm weather." - Megan Hill, Gabe Guarente
