“ I came to Ba Bar and tried their crab noodles and tofu skin rolls. Both dishes were absolutely delicious — the crab noodles were flavorful with a nice hint of garlic and spice, and the tofu skin rolls were crispy and savory with a great dipping sauce. However, the only downside was the portion size. The crab noodles, while very tasty, were quite small for the price. I left still a bit hungry, which was unexpected. Overall, the flavors were on point, and I’d come back again — just wish the portions were more generous! ”
“ Had a fantastic experience at Ba Bar Seattle! The food was great (took a photo before it was devoured). Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re looking for delicious Vietnamese cuisine. I’ll be back for more! ”
“ Upscale Vietnamese restaurant. Decent selection of food. Bakery is also there to satisfy sweet tooth. I had rock fish vermicelli bowl and it was very good. Their spring rolls are the best. A bit pricy but quality of the food is good. I am adding one more star because I have not had bad food here after coming here many times. ”
“ Delicious pho and appetizers! It’s also a fantastic brunch spot with something for everyone, be it macaroon and cappuccino or a hearty bowl of noodle soup. Dog friendly patio seating too :) ”
“ I’m mostly into UVill for the pedestrian friendly design but this spot has some legit Vietnamese food. It’s got the fun cute American restaurant chain energy but with some super delicious Saigon inspired meals cooked up in the kitchen. ”
“ I love this place, I love the pho panini and my man loves the crab pasta. The ambiance is very chill and beautifully executed. All servers are very nice and they make great recommendations when it comes to drinks! This is not your traditional menu so it’s very special to see a place embracing a lot of cultures together. Great place overall ”
“ Excellent service and some of the most delicious Vietnamese food I've ever had! ”
“ The atmosphere is open and welcoming. Nice low light setting. Room filled with conversations that merge into ambient noises. Not to loud but just right. The Bun bo hue was amazing. It had every traditional piece that belonged like tiet canh đong to the pig trotters. The depth of flavor was there. But the only thing that was missing was the spice. Now the drinks. The drink of the day was a perfect fusion of winter with tropical fun with a hint of passion fruit. The Saigon sunset will literally knock your socks off with flavor. The foam complimenting the drink like yin and yang the perfect balance. The Mary Morter it's really light and refreshing with complex flavors. Accompanied by mint on the nose. Thanks to my bartender Rob. Ask for him please. ”
