As a Chicagoan who has landed herself in Seattle, I think I can safely say that I am easily impressed with the Vietnamese food here and I LOVED this spot.
Establishment - a relatively small space, but so well decorated and, no pun intended, cozy. Went around midday and with the large windows that take up an entire wall, the sun easily floods in and makes the space feel airy and bright. The tables are a bit of a tight squeeze, but nothing ridiculous.
Service - not much to note, everyone was very friendly. I will say I think our server was a bit flustered or maybe overwhelmed, but it took a while to get water for the table.
Food - so so good! I got the bahn mi chao, which is ultimately a deconstructed bahn mi. Plenty of beef chunks, tomatoes, a fried egg, and pâte with a side of a baguette to soak up the juices and sauces. Has a good kick to it. I also go the black sesame latte. I feel like I've had better but it wasn't bad; not worth the price, in my opinion. The popcorn chicken was fine, not very seasoned and I've had better but at Taiwanese restaurants.
Overall I had a very good experience and have found myself recommending this spot to a handful of friends afterwards already. Needless to say, I will be back and I'm excited to try other menu items!
