Tangerine Tree - Seattle
Tangerine Tree
Description
Tucked into a mini‑mall near Capitol Hill, this family‑run Vietnamese spot is celebrated for fresh ingredients, tender meats, vibrant broths, and generous portions—pho, bun bo hue, hu tiew xao, and large spring rolls stand out. Regulars praise consistent flavors, friendly service, and great value with solid takeout that matches photos. However, guests report occasional order mix‑ups, temperature and pricing inconsistencies, and poor phone/online responsiveness. A beloved neighborhood find with excellent dishes, but double‑check orders and expect variable service.

The food here is incredible, the service is outstanding, and the prices are excellent! It's a delightful spot to grab lunch or pick up some fantastic takeout to enjoy at the office or at home after work. Definitely a must-visit!
I've visited this restaurant three times this month, and I must say it's the best Vietnamese restaurant in Capitol Hill. Today, I tried the chicken with bell peppers, and it was absolutely delicious—it melted in my mouth! I was really impressed by how tender the chicken was. This definitely won't be my last visit. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to everyone!
Next, I tried the Hu Tiew Xao, a dish of flat wide noodles with brown sauce, chicken, and vegetables. It was nicely spiced, with wonderfully cooked noodles and spicy chicken. After indulging in more than just a couple of bites, I was eager to share this experience, and I promised myself that I would return soon to explore their other delightful offerings.
It's a tasty pho. I don't know why this place has such sad ratings. We ordered takeout from here. My spouse got their shaken beef which spousie has really been missing since most pho joints outside of the bay area do not seem to make it. I got their brisket pho. The broth had a good body. The noodles seemed pretty standard. All the normal pho fixins present and fresh nice sprouties, fresh greens, hoisin sri. Their chicken wings came fried which seemed a little odd to us. But, spousie really loves fried chicken so it all worked out. Unsure if this was an accident or that's just how their wings come. We did doordash for pickup and the pickup experience was quick and painless.
