I thought the kabocha was good with the broth being very flavorful. Banh mi was good as well but definitely expensive for a banh mi, but that’s to be expected given the area. Be aware that I ordered the food via UberEATS. I called to inquire about eating in but was told that in order to dine in, you must buy something from the regular Ba Bar menu as well. Keep that in mind if you wish to dine in. All in all, definitely looking forward to trying more dishes.

I got the chorizo version and the combination of Mexican and Vietnamese flavor worked really well.

This listing should be changed to an omni restaurant with vegan options. Food is good, if a bit overpriced.

I really liked the use of mint in the salad and will definitely be stealing the recipe My partner had a vegetarian Pho and enjoyed it as well. This place definitely leans more towards the Whole Foods and less processed side of Vegan eats.

It can get busy, so good to come early or closer to closing. I end up coming at least once on each trip to Seattle.

I was thrilled to see fresh coconut on the menu—it was just perfect! We tried two different types of wings along with vermicelli noodles, and the bread pudding was simply divine. We were in the mood for something warm to drink, so the bartender made us hot chocolate with Baileys Irish Cream, which tasted amazing! The staff was friendly and very accommodating. I had a fantastic time overall!

It may appear substantial in the picture, but that's only because I added something else. Otherwise, I would have received just two small pieces of beef and a few bits of ox. The flavor was quite good, so if you're in the area and craving Pho without wanting to travel far, this place is worth a try.

It's a funny place to hang around with your friends or have a date. The staff were friendly and helpful.

They had to google how to make a drink (literally saw them) and when we tried to order a dessert, server didn't even know what it was so I had to show them on the menu? Then after having to flag down a server to close out our bill, another server stops us to ask us to pay? Like WTF? Just go to Cap Hill location, guys.

The service was slightly above average, although there were a few puzzling missteps, especially given the lack of crowds from the nearby offices. Regardless, the quality of the food was excellent. I look forward to returning for some non-vegetarian dishes and desserts next time I'm in the area.

With a focus on fresh, healthy ingredients and bold, flavorful dishes, these restaurants offer a dining experience that is satisfying, healthy and delicious. Ba Bar is a Vietnamese restaurants that has an innovative takes on traditional recipes. You can find classic dishes like pho, Bún bowls vermicelli noodles Sài Gòn Chicken Wings on the menu. On Mondays Tuesdays they have Wing specials 10 Wings for $9, but you have to order a drink. The wings are sauced up with nước chấm (fish sauce) so very flavorful!Service was pretty good here, the staff is friendly, attentive, and always willing to make recommendations or accommodate any dietary restrictions. The atmosphere here is welcoming and decorated nicely, we were sat in the back of the restaurant so it was quieter. It was the perfect place to relax, catch up and enjoy a meal with my cousins.I ordered the combo vermicelli noodles for $19. The portion was decent, the noodles were chewy and perfect texture, the chicken thigh was cooked nicely and not dry, but I wasn't a super fan of the house made beef pork sausage. Overall, a fun, trendy place to go and get Vietnamese food, but priced a bit higher than your typical Vietnamese restaurants.

I came to Ba Bar South Lake Union last night for a quick bit to eat, and liked it so much that I just had to come back a second time. Last night I got the garlic crab noodles, and it was so good. The crab was sweet and flavorful, the noodles were spicy and there was plenty of garlic. That alone was enough to get me to come back but then I had the du creme cup, a chocolate dessert, that clinched my return. The following night I had the chicken wings, which were sooooo good, and the pho ga, a chicken noodle soup, yet another slam dunk. I will make BaBar a go to stop everyone I come to Seattle.
