Grain House — Restaurant in Seattle

I rarely leave reviews but had to when I saw this restaurant surprisingly doesn’t have many! I was super curious after seeing their menu online (sushi and Vietnamese at great prices??)

I ordered the orgasm roll and their special calamari roll. They were both SO good! Super filling and flavorful. My partner ordered the tofu vermicelli bowl - I usually find vermicelli a bit bland but this is the best one I’ve ever tried. Delicious flavors and the tofu was perfectly fried and seasoned.

The sushi also came with a choice of miso soup or salad. I tried both with my 2 orders and they were also super yummy. I haven’t had a side with sushi before so it was a pleasant surprise given the sushi is already better than $20+ sushi I’ve ordered at nearby restaurants.

My only suggestion is adding some options for hot tea or less sweet tea.

Will definitely be coming back and telling friends...

I’m always hesitant to try new Vietnamese restaurants in Seattle where there are some true institutions. We ordered a few things to try: two types of banh mi (pork and tofu), a pork and tofu vermicelli bowl which surprisingly came with egg roll as well, the egg rolls as an appetizer, and a pork bun to share. While the flavors of the proteins are different than I’m used to, they’re true to advertising as lemongrass forward. The banh mi baguette was perfect - crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. And you can never go wrong with a classic vermicelli bowl. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by how how fresh and tasty everything was. Because it’s so close to work, I can definitely see myself walking here for lunch on office days. Can’t wait to try the pho...

This is the loveliest place. Came in after I was out of my mind when my wife went through a C section. It was horrible, but the food is good! I got a pho (my fave) and the person next to me had ramen that smelled sooo good. If you look at their menu they have everything: sushi, vermicelli, wine, drinks, and I bunch of other stuff that I took pics of for later. The windows are sooo pretty and it’s a great view inside. 12th is not scenic but there’s a great bldg to the L to look at and straight out a church that I want to visit. I need to pray. One of my favorite things abt the city is how much diversity we have here. This place has a lot of soul and that is so necessary in this city since 😬😬😬 but I definitely...
