Green Tree Restaurant — Restaurant in Seattle

Well, I came to this restaurant on July 4th 🎆 for lunch. Which was my first time here in Greenwood. I’m originally from Yorktown NY 🇺🇸, and I gotta say the service here is better than the service in my hometown. Once I entered, a kind girl who I asked her name was, Tammy guided me to one of the tables in the corner 👍. She even pulled my chair out for me 😇! I just knew I had to give a $20 tip once I was finished with my food. Very wide selection of various food options on the menu. There was a lists of different kinds of food on the bottom, appetizers, salads, Vietnamese chef special, beef noodle soups, special Vietnamese noodle soups & congees, rice & egg noodle soups, grilled dish from kitchen, Vermicelli noodles, rice dishes, Chinese soup, Chinese chow mein and noodle soups, traditional Chinese dish, and beverages. I recommend having the Spring rolls or Deep Fried Shrimp Rolls as your appetizer because it is so tasty. I also recommend the Bon Bo Hue if you want noodle soup. And if you just want rice with something else get the Grilled Combo or Grilled Beef Short Ribs because it is 🔥! I also recommend the Passion Fruit with Soda 🥤 because it tastes like something else that I would like to drink everyday. Would highly comeback and recommend this place for the food 🍲 !! This restaurant is probably have the best vegetarian options for food in the town, soup, and rice with grilled beef or pork! I will have to give a little credit to the lighting, decorations, and service because it is excellent and expected to places you should receive 😁. Also the people who put effort in preparing and presentation in my food right on the plate which shows hard work ❤️. This place meets every expectation above and beyond! 5 stars and gave a big bonus that makes everybody...

Green Tree Restaurant is a quiet staple in Seattle’s Vietnamese dining scene, leaning into homestyle dishes that feel both familiar and comforting. The menu is deep, but where Green Tree shines is in its simplicity—flavors that stick close to tradition without too much flair.

Start with appetizers: the Fresh Vegetable Spring Rolls ($5.95) are clean and herb-forward, and the Fried Egg Rolls ($5.95) bring the classic crisp shell with pork and veggie filling. The Stuffed Chicken Wings ($6.95) stand out—juicy, golden, and filled with seasoned ground meat.

The salads are refreshing and generous. The Green Papaya Salad with Shrimp ($9.95) balances sweet, sour, and savory with that addictive crunch. For something earthier, the Lotus Root Salad ($9.95) with pork and shrimp hits all the right textures.

What makes Green Tree memorable is its no-frills approach. The kitchen focuses on consistency—every plate arrives tasting the same whether it’s your first visit or your fifteenth. Service is straightforward, the vibe is casual, and the pricing is easy on the wallet.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Green Tree Restaurant isn’t about reinventing Vietnamese food—it’s about giving you the comfort of knowing exactly what you’ll get: fresh rolls, crisp egg rolls, papaya salad, and bowls of noodle soup that...

I came in for lunch and ordered a rice plate with pork chops and a friend egg over it. I was the only customer on a Tuesday until a two more patrons trickled in. The pork chop was too charred almost to the point where I had to eat around it (1/5) but otherwise still edible. I could have asked but the server never came by to check on me after delivering the food in the 20-30 minutes. Not once.

She only came by twice: once to hand me a menu without a greeting, a water, and twice: hand me my food. She ignored me the rest of the time and didn't even check to see whether my food was okay or to refill my water. I had to go up to pay her. She looked at me and took my tip - which I have to admit I even regret tipping for doing the absolute bare minimum. She never checked on my table once or asked how my food was. This was the absolute worst non-existent table service I've ever received.

I have been here maybe a handful of times with company and the service hasn't been this awful. The lady was just nonchalant and could care less whether I ordered from the restaurant.

Will I come again or recommend this place? Nope. Just like how that server treated me: non-existent to...
