Northern Seattle's Vietnamese Seafood Feast 🦪 | Bun & Oc Everett
I've been obsessed with a Vietnamese grilled seafood spot in Irvine, and after moving to Seattle, I kept seeing recommendations for Bun & Oc Everett up north. Finally made the trip—here's the scoop! TL;DR: Satisfies cravings, but not quite Irvine-level. The Vibe: 👨👩👧👦 Family-run & super friendly—shares space with Up Thai, so you get both Vietnamese seafood AND Thai food in one spot! 🦪 The Food Rundown: ✔ 4 Flavors w Grilled Oysters - MASSIVE oysters (almost too plump?), but flavors are solid. ✔ Grilled Scallop w Quail Eggs - BEST DISH! Scallops = perfection (quail eggs = skipable). ✔ Grilled Razor Clams w Green Onion - Fresh & rare find! Order two plates next time—too good to share. ✔ Grilled Bloody Clams w Garlic Butter - Yum but forgettable. ✔ Khan Kra Pao (Thai Basil Pork) - Tasty but SALTY—needs 3x rice to balance. ⚠️ Not My Faves: ✖ Grilled CND Snails w Spicy Sauce - Chewy AF (jaw workout!) + weird sauce pairing. ✖ Stir Fry Snails w Salty Eggs - Not real salted duck egg—sweet, bitter "honey mustard" sauce + tough snails = no. ✖ Thai Tea / Mango Lemonade - Diabetes-level sweet (couldn’t finish either 🥤💀). 🍽️ Final Take: Solid for a seafood craving, but not a destination spot. Worth trying if you're nearby! #SeattleEats #VietnameseFood #SeafoodLover #ThaiFood #SeattleFoodie #GrilledGoodness #FoodieFails #SeattleLife #PNWAdventures #MixedReviews
