"There's something great about getting a bottle of racy Grüner Veltliner with dim sum , which is what I do here (it's much better than tea )." - Chef Ethan Stowell Read more

Carmen

Ask to be seated un Jill's sections. Her recommendations were spot on. And the bartender prepares the best Aperol on the west coast.

Alma Leal

The food is good, but you have to be careful when the waiters offer to order for you. We tried several good plates, but we ended up with much more food than we needed (and a large check also).

Matt Miner

Excellent restaurant , even better happy hour . Very creative drinks and the food is delicious. I can't remember the name of the drink I ordered but ask for the drink with chilli juice in it. YUM!

David S.

My favorite place for a Friday after work cocktail on Main Street.

Janet Johnson

Great happy hour Sun-Thurs 3:00-close. Sit at the bar , have some oysters and fresh veg rolls... a crisp veltliger, and it's a fine dining experience. great service as a bonus.

Rogério

Good service , good beer ... And good food! Try the druken crispy chicken and the (wonderfully well prepared) imperial rolls .

The Seattle Times

Softer, sexier version of the Seattle original. Many of the menu's three dozen dishes soar: Start with something from the raw bar , move on to bo la lot beef , claypot-cooked catfish or filet mignon . Read more

Although not an truly authentic Vietnamese restaurant , this is one of the best Asian fusion restaurants in Seattle. Flavors are not overpowering, and most dishes have distinctively recognizable Asian

Pork Belly Bahn Mi (sandwich ) is delicious

If you're vegetarian ask for the eggplant zucchini dish - buy do tell them to remove the oyster sauce

Alex hasn't looked around him in this room. Between staff/guests/owners, we are everywhere. Do reconsider commentary. And yes, Catfish Claypot , stuffed squid , bo la lot beef , crispy drunken chicken ? D

Drunken chicken , ahi tuna fresh rolls , the steak .. Everything was delicious!

The Seattle Times

Chef Eric Banh, who made his name with Monsoon in Capitol Hill , decided to introduce his Vietnamese fare to Bellevue. One of the best spots for happy-hour food in the 425 area code. 4-6:30, 9-10 Read more

Make sure you try the brunch . Simply amazing. Dim sum is excellent, and the Crab Benedict is amazing.

Josh van Hulst

Pretty decent food, lots of meat options and not enough vegetarian options . It's somewhat in a office setting.

The duck buns are delish

Bellevue best happy hour . Oysters and dumplings

Proof that upscaling to Western sophistication specs doesn’t have to dumb down authenticity , the starkly elegant Monsoon brought the bold, bracing flavor collisions of Vietnam out of Little Saigon and Read more
