We are so pleased to check this new place out. I grew up I white center eating delicious vietnamese food but when I became vegetarian I couldn't eat my favorite things anymore. This was such a treat for me. The atmosphere is great, clean and neat with lots of plants. Order at the register and sit down to wait. The place was super busy I was glad to see the business doing well. The lady running the register greeted is warmy and patiently answered all of our questions. She managed the crazy line efficiently and with a lot of patience. The chef that brought us our food gave us a thumbs up and smiled. The wait wasn't even bad considering the line out the door!
The food! I was delighted to see bun bo hue on the menu, I loved eating it when I was younger but I'm limited now. They have bun bo chay a vegetarian version so we ordered one beef, one vegetarian, a tofu bahn mi and vietnames coffee.
Spicy beef noodle soup: my partner described it as savory, tangy and slightly spicy. There were pork trotters and Vietnamese ham. No pork blood but I know not everyone does that.
Spicy vegetarian noodle soup: tangy, spicy, salty and everything I needed, served with chili oil, mint and cabbage. The real delight was the toppings, fried tofu skin, immigration vietnamese ham, fake beef, king oyster mushrooms and some crispy salty things I couldn't identify. Each piece I could tell what it was a homage to You can tell this was crafted with love. Every topping was a different texture and flavor reminding me of the bun bo hue I had in my youth. Amazing!
Tofu bahn mi: crisy chewy bread, savory sauce and a fresh and crispy pickled diakon raddish slaw. Three layers of thinly sliced marinated fried tofu. Delicious.
Vietnamese coffee: creamy and complex, there was a depth of flavor that clings to your tongue was you drink it. The topping was forthy and almost caramel tasting.
Definitely give this place a try I am so happy this place is here I'm the heart of burien serving delicious food with...

The staff here are friendly and quick with service, whether you’re dining in at their tables or grabbing something to-go. Their menu covers all the favorites—broken rice plates (cơm tấm), comforting pho, fresh bánh mì, milk teas, cà phê sữa đá (Vietnamese iced coffee), and plenty of hot food options ready for takeout.
On my visit, I tried the cà phê muối (salted coffee), the bánh mì đặc biệt, and a cơm tấm plate. Everything came out fast, fresh, and flavorful—the bánh mì had that perfect balance of crispy baguette and savory fillings, the cơm tấm was hearty and satisfying, and the salted coffee was rich with a...

The place is clean and bright, cheerful and friendly. The wonderful family running the restaurant are working hard to make it special.
