6/13/22 - Today was a perfect opportunity to try their spring rolls, and I did! Viet's Taste spring rolls I found were good, but I felt needed more veggies, they were a little bit on the bland side, but the peanut sauce they offer with it was extremely tasty. Also it comes as four decent size pieces! Don't veer away from ordering these, yes I feel more veggies are needed but overall they were still fresh and a great lunch and I had left overs for my hubby to snack on!! 6/11/22 - It seems as though we have been eating a lot of Vietnamese food lately; yesterday was no different. I discovered that a little restaurant in Silverdale Plaza had gone out of business, and this one, Viet's Taste, emerged!!
This little restaurant holds 30ish people; not super large and overwhelming where your server may forget you exist! And yes, that's happened!
Viet's Taste is simple and not overly decorated, which is fine; with the size of their restaurant, too much decoration can create the feeling of being small and cluttered.
We were the first like we are often; I sort of knew what I wanted going in; I thought I would make a little comparison with spring rolls, as M&T cafe really rock it with the spring rolls; unfortunately, that didn't happen; hubby talked me into getting a regular meal so we could split them, which was fine, I'll be back for their spring rolls soon enough.
I had a V4, Vermicelli noodles with grilled chicken, and my hubby had S1, Vietnamese Crispy Pancake. I'll admit it took a little bit of time for it to come to us, but I'm almost certain (not positive) that they prepared it fresh, which in the grand scheme of things, twenty minutes isn't horrible at all!
My Vermicelli noodle bowl was pleasant in taste and smell, very fresh, the chicken was tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were crispy, and like a typical vermicelli noodle bowl, everything had its place in the bowl; which included chicken, noodles, bean sprouts, green onion, toasted peanuts, herbs and a sweetened fish sauce on the side. However, I wish it wasn't so long ago when I had a Vermicelli noodle bowl; I was unable to compare this one to other places, so I had to go by my hubby's taste; he thought it was good and similar to most that he has had in the past.
His Vietnamese Crispy Pancake was scrumptious, something that I've never experienced before, but a lot of flavors were happening with that meal; tucked beautifully in the pancake were sliced pork, shrimp, bean sprouts, onion, and Asian greens, and lime chili fish sauce on the side, and I can't say for sure, but I think the pancake was made out of rice with seasonings and of course fried. It reminds me of a crepe, not so much in flavor but in looks. As far as drinks go, we both stuck with water!
Our server was friendly, attentive, and helpful! The restaurant was clean, and the condiments/sauces and menu at the table were not sticky or tacky; that is a little bit of a pet peeve of mine, dirty and sticky menus and condiment bottles! Neither one of us used the restrooms, so I am unable to voice my opinion on those. Overall we'll return!
Viet's Taste is located in the Silverdale Plaza; 2928 NW Bucklin Hill Road, Silverdale, Washington. Surrounding businesses are Safeway, Joann's Fabric, UPS, Azteca, Burger King, and more. There are plenty of parking spaces; even if you are not able to park in front of the business, there are plenty of parking spaces in that plaza!

Read moreWent here for the first time and it was alright. Previous reviews are true in not attentive service. Basically they give you your food and leave you alone, which if that's what you like this place is perfect. The servers are very nice though. We had the special fried chicken w/garlic fried rice and vermicelli curry noodles. The curry noodles were pretty bland, not a lot of curry flavor at all and the fried chicken dish was decent. Chicken was super crispy and garlic fried rice wasn't bad, more-so interesting. Definitely needed sauce, and the one it came with wasn't a good match. The other issue I have was that meals come out separately, and we saw that was the case with other people dining in as well. By the time I got my food my partner was almost done with his. I think it's literally just one dude cooking the food in the back so it's a little slow, but it's kind of an awkward dining experience with one person eating and the other one waiting. Overall I would try this place again, but most likely just do takeout. Also overheard they were out of a lot of things as well, so be...
Read moreI was extremely impressed with how the Viet's Taste staff handled a mix up with my order. We ordered ~$100 worth of takeout on Friday night and picked up shortly before they closed. When I returned home (a 15 min drive), I was disappointed to find that I was handed the incorrect order (2 phos and 1 appetizer, we had ordered 3 different pho's and 2 different apps) and tried calling but it went to voicemail because it was now after they had closed. A staff member called 20 minutes later and offered to remake our order and drive it to our house to remedy the situation. We had already decided to eat what we had picked up and supplement with other items, so I asked for a partial refund (which needed manager approval). Later that night the manager called and agreed to refund the difference. Was very impressed with the customer service. Accidents and mix ups are inevitable, and this establishment handled the...
