EaterApril 25, 2013The motto for Eric Banh's Ba Bar is street food and cold drink. The latter is now in the hands of Fairness Peck, the bar manager. Sample Peck's talents at the daily happy hour from 3 to 7 p.m.
Their pastry is wonderful! Weekend cronut is a must try. Mango flavor is my fav. Macaroons are decent too
Nina KJuly 30, 2015Waited for about 20 minutes but it was worth it. The inside is super great and the wait staff was friendly. I had the dumplings as an appetizer and got the catfish noodle bowl.
you get exactly what you pay for here. They’re known to be on bit of pricey side, but everything is so good — pho, noodle dishes, rice dishes, and best egg rolls! High-quality ingredients.
CarmenMarch 29, 2016Original cocktails: didn't regret trying Señor Fluffy Pants, paired well with the pâté chaud, fried frog legs, and imperial rolls. Excellent "trip" to Saigon for a Vietnamese French culinary melange
Florian RiegerAugust 5, 2018Amazin vietnamese cuisine. Dishes come in a very authentic way. And the spices and taste is very good. We tried the bun cha ha noi and the steamed rolls to prep yourself. Anytime again!
Jessica PuglieseJune 8, 2018The Pho Tai Oxtail is a shining star and not to be missed. The spicy chicken wings are excellent and the frog legs are marvelous. They also have a stellar cocktail menu.
Ba Bar evokes a modern update of a 60s French colonial officers club outfitted with a bakery, disco ball and orchids. Street food-inspired menu offers fresh bun bowls, pho, dumplings and cocktails. Read more
- L SAugust 26, 2015Best pho I've had in Seattle. The oxtail is rich and incredibly delicious. The bánh cuôn (only available on weekends) is also amazing!
Zachary KingJanuary 6, 2014Very pleasing aesthetic, beautiful dining room and impressive bar. Five dollar Moscow mules on Sunday nights, and oxtail soup done right on the mainland. I am impressed, to say the least.
Ryan BoyleJune 26, 2015The rotisserie pork belly with bahn boi and a fried egg was one of the best meals I've had.
Kevin FaulMay 17, 2015The steak frites is one of the best steak deals in town. Not what you'd expect, I know, but that's what makes it great.
SJanuary 16, 2015Order the pork belly with broken rice and a fried egg on top. The spicy sauce makes it amazing. Excellent food.
KaitlinAugust 11, 2018I love the food here, but on our most recent visit, the health rating was Okay (one step above the lowest rating), which I’ve only seen at sketchy spots, not nice sit-down places! Hope they fix that!
The oxtail pho is good. Really good. But everyone knows and gets it. The chicken congee though is a worthy alternative and a must try.
Cori ReadyAugust 3, 2012Delicious Vietnamese street food dishes in a cute setting. Try the spicy pork belly, halibut collar, and Pate Chaud (with a fried egg on top!)
Jennifer BurlingtonJuly 14, 2017The chicken pho was the best I've ever had. This place is hip, yet authentic. Love it!
Peter NavarroOctober 3, 2014Out for a walk and want to chill with good friends then try the Moscow mule cocktail served in a copper mug. Try their grilled sewers.
Halibut Collar isn't the prettiest dish but its really tasty! Succulent halibut from nooks & crannies of the fish you may not have tried, $9 on Happy Hour! Wash it down with $4 beers + $6 cocktails!
Mingfei YanSeptember 17, 2014Nice cocktail. Interesting fusion Vietnamese food. Good for friends' hang out.
LaoshiApril 24, 2016Ba Bar is now using hand made noodles for their pho. This may have something to do with Dong Thap opening up down the street, but I have to rely on the old adage: if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
Pâté Chaud is the best. Make sure you get the egg and gravy for it as well!
Jack ReevesJuly 25, 2022Small, intimate bar area with unique cocktails and, of course, excellent food.
Sharon ChanJune 27, 2016Lots of gluten free options. Great late-night dinner option. The waiting area can be maddeningly chaotic at peak times though.
Silvia AdrianaJune 23, 2016Great food and good environment. Any Vermicelli plate is tasty and cocktails are very good.- Erin LemlerSeptember 15, 2018I’m from SF and have had a lot of pho but this place is hands down the best pho I’ve ever had!
- Stove ChopsApril 1, 2016Excellent pho, great cocktails, great background music, wonderfully relaxed atmosphere!
Hailey NguyenJanuary 1, 2018Authentic Vietnamese food with very nice ambience. Service is a little slow, so you need to budget out time.
Jordana SaletanJune 3, 2015Amazing Pho-French fusion. Try the duck confit with mushrooms and ramen. Awesome.
Dorota OlJune 1, 2019Vegetarian dishes are sparse but they are delusions! Vegetarian vermicelli is to die for!
Great food at a good value and a really good space. However, The service is routinely abysmal so don't go if you're in a rush
Samantha McGrandyAugust 11, 2018Sài Gòn Chicken Wings, and the classics rotisserie chicken. Cocktails are amazing.
On Saturday and Sunday, there's an old man that comes in and makes the best Banh Cuon I've ever had.
Late night eats! Kitchen open until 1:30am Sunday thru Thursday (even later on Fri+Sat)
DQ RobinsonJune 3, 2013Try the combo if you can't choose which protein to go with! You sample a lot!
You should def try the Chicken Congee it comes with a Chinese donut
Get the Bánh cuốn during the weekends. You're welcome ;)
