Steamed Rice Cakes & Crispy Pork Chops Worth the Wait!

Renton Vietnamese Gem This cozy Southern spot gets packed on weekends—we tried visiting twice! 🕚 Day 1: Too crowded, had to bail. Day 2: Arrived 30 mins early and snagged the last table! 🙌 Must-Try Dishes: 🌟 Steamed Rice Cakes (Bánh Bèo) – Silky, chewy texture like rice rolls, topped with plump shrimp, scallions, fried garlic, and drizzled with savory sauce. My favorite! 🥟✨ 🌟 Grilled Pork Chop Rice – Juicy, springy pork with a crispy-soft crust, plus two grilled shrimp cakes on the side. Perfect combo! 🍖🔥 Other Orders: 🍜 Spicy Beef Noodles – Intense herbal broth with round noodles. Overpowering XO sauce flavor (not my taste), though the fatty pork slices were tender. A bit too rich. 😅 🍲 Pho – Standard Vietnamese noodle soup. Decent but not standout. Verdict: Worth a visit if there’s no line, but not a must-wait spot. Prices are fair though! 💰 📍 Renton Bistro – A solid choice for quick, flavorful Vietnamese eats! #SeattleEats #SeattleFoodie #SeattlePho #VietnameseCuisine #HiddenGems #RentonEats #NoodleLovers #ComfortFood
