Pho Bac

The Boat restaurant in Seattle offers Vietnamese cuisine. Parking can be a challenge due to the restaurant's small size on a boat, but the staff, despite being busy, are kind and patient. I particularly enjoyed the chicken with rice, salad, and the delicious pho soup. While the pandan tea was just okay for me, it's worth a try! Give it a shot!

When you only really do one thing you better do it well. And this place succeeds at that. Garlic chicken is amazing. Not something I would usually order but I had heard such great things about the reopening of The Boat that we had to try it. It's a bit pricey but the chicken is delicious. I wasn't a huge fan of the rice so will probably try the egg noodle soup with the chicken next time. I forget the drink name but it was a grassy coconut drink and tasted like it was described. Not my thing, which is why I didn't order it, but wife loved it. Waffles were a delicious way to end the meal and worth coming here for them alone. Got the half/half waffles so we could try both. Both were delicious and the cream? mmmmm....

Came here for lunch for a party of 4, and luckily didn’t need to wait too long or need reservations. I got worried when I saw their sister restaurant next door with a line out the door. The menu is short and sweet, which means they super specialize in what they make so you couldn’t go wrong. My husband and I each got their two different dishes - one noodles and one rice. The chicken was amazingly crispy and tasty - even a hint of sweetness to it. The noodles lacked flavor but the chicken made up for it. I also really like their waffles - go for the half pink and half pandan! The pink pineapple was sweet and unique since I’ve never had Vietnamese waffles with pineapple bits! The coconut cream goes well with it too. Definitely recommend and will have to try their pho next door next time :) $111 for 4 dishes and a dessert (including taxes). Service was also quick and friendly!
