Very tasty buffet

Very authentic place and food. We chose the vegan buffet and paid $11/pound, we we ended up spending $25 for a full meal for two people, which is phenomenal. If you’re looking for a fancy dining experience, this is not the place for you, but we loved it for the diverse and tasty food and the fact that it was very affordable.

Incredible chow menu

We ordered online and they were pretty backed up bc they serve free meals to those in need on sundays (amazing)
We got the chow mein, spring rolls, crunchy rolls, bbq pork bahn Mi and noodle salad. The food was incredible. My favorite was the sandwich and the chow mein. Great heat and the best flavors I’ve eaten in a long time. We’ll go back again.

Pros: Amazing sandwiches , Serve those in need , Fresh and full of flavor

Friendly and flavorful.

I was impressed with the hospitality. They were so kind and inviting. I chose the buffet option and it was wonderful. So rare to find a vegan buffet! A good mix of tofu, seitan, fruits and veggies. Great vegan Vietnamese food.

Pros: Buffet option , Great service, Flavorful and filling

Mind blown

Delicious creative vegan food that wasn't pretentious just fun. We ordered off of the menu but maybe should have just gotten the buffet because it was the same price. I The menu was online only and for a couple of luddites that was inconvenient. So yup great food but could get some menus.

Pros: All vegan, Delicious , Authentic

Cons: Location, Menu

Absolutely lovely!

Fantastic place! Extremely kind and welcoming staff, the food is delicious and I loved the idea of charging for uneaten buffet food - it shouldn't be wasted! 😊They offer free meals to the homeless every Sunday♡

So many great options

The sesame balls were so good and the bahn mi is also super flavorful and yummy. I went with a meat eater and they said it was the most tender faux meat they've had. Definitely feel free to take non-vegans here without issues. The buffet also looked great. They have so much to offer here!

Pros: Really good faux meat, Excellent service, sweet staff, Pretty reasonably priced

One of our favorites!

We live up the hill and love this place! The sesame balls are my favorite, and the egg rolls are consistently delicious.

Great sandwiches

Had the egg rolls - so good!
Tofu banh mi - huge, a lot of bread (good bread)
Roasted pork banh mi - delicious, also huge
Fried rice - delicious, so much flavor
Banana with sticky rice - had this for dessert but I was not a fan at all. It had very limited flavor, and just was not great. It tasted like a dried fruit bar heated up, so you may like this if you don't like sweet dessert

Great place, lovely ambience & a true experience.

Go for food, generosity, kindness & true hospitality rather than nit-picking Michelin star standards.😄

Huge portions

Delicious food from a local business. The portions on their noodle dishes are enormous! Sandwiches are great too (but not over the top in size). Owner is incredibly dedicated to helping her local community. Wish I could make it down here more often.

Above and beyond!

We were visiting relatives and got takeout from here. The food was excellent, and the quantities were large. In addition the owner is extremely nice and generous, she even gave a toy to my little cousin. If I lived in Seattle eating here would definitely be a regular occurrence.

Pros: Excellent service, Delicious food, All vegan!

Great variety

We tried 3 different Banh mi and we’re really happy with the variety of flavor. Bbq pork and BBQ Duck were our favorite. Wish their do chua was homemade, but their sauces are yummy and the bread is perfect. Call your orders in if you order close to opening, their online ordering is easy but our order was missed until we arrived for pickup.
Ask for extra jalapeño/cilantro if you like it, each sandwich was very light on that.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Customer parking, Under $10 for a meal

Cons: Online ordering is awkward, Do chua isn’t great

Nostalgic taste of Vietnamese Buddhist temple food

This place is the greatest! We’ve been twice so far, trying a range of different dishes. My partner didn’t grow up on Vietnamese vegetarian food like the kind I remember when I’d go to the temple with my family, or when I would be on retreat at a Plum Village monastery and practice center. I was pleased he could try this kind of food and I’m glad it left a good impression on him. So much flavour and the spirit of compassion is infused into the cooking. The owner is a very kind woman. I look forward to being back!

Great food and service

If you’re lucky, you’ll get some free egg rolls (vegan of course) while you wait! Friendly, personal service and delicious food with a homemade feel!

Best vegan banh mi

10/9/2021
Recommend? Yes.

I arrived right after they open with my luggage because I was starving from my long train ride in from Whitefish, MT. The server was super nice. He got me hot tea and banh cam to settle in with. I ordered bo bia (autumn rolls), vegan pho, and roasted pork banh mi (to go).

The banh cam had a thick dough and it was huge. Two of those could've been a whole meal.

Everything I ordered was delicious and they were so kind! My favorite was definitely the banh mi. It was even good after I had refridgerated it. The best part was the vegan butter and vegan pate. I absolutely loved it, best vegan banh mi I've had.

The most authentic and delicious banh mi I’ve ever had - and super affordable

This place is a hidden gem! It’s a little dingey looking but you will not be disappointed. Their banh mi’s are perfect, cheap, and bursting with flavor. Fresh rolls are also awesome. Lovely owners/service too.

My favorite food in Seattle

I can’t recommend this place highly enough. The Bahn Mis here are out of this world, we get them pretty much every week. They have lots of different options. The lemongrass chicken is my favorite!! Roommates of mine love the pork skin and tofu as well. They’re all good bahn mi at Chuminh.

Amazing deli with a great selection

ChuMinh is a wonderful spot - great selection of bahn mis (I tried the BBQ one and it was wonderful) and a really fantastic deli section. It is a rare and wonderful thing to experience a vegan deli! The people are also extremely friendly - one woman gave me a spring roll while I was waiting for my order 🥺. A 10/10 spot and definitely worth visiting.

Pros: Great deli selection and bahn mis , Extremely friendly , Very well priced

An odd gem

My family ate here while on vacation. Coming from suburban Ohio we were honestly a bit nervous on our walk to this place as it isn't in the best of areas and the parking lot outside was particularly sketchy. It was also a little confusing when we went in to figure out how and what to order.

Once we figured it out the folks who took our orders and served us were friendly and helpful. Communication was a little tough, but we got through it. We ordered the buffet, some fried rolls, and bubble tea. Everything was fantastic.

If you are a health conscious person this probably isn't the place for you because there is a lot of fake meats and a fair number of the items were somewhat oily.

They seem to be very good and generous people, serving the community with free food on certain days and the staff gave us the ok to share buffet items with my son who didn't get the buffet.

Pros: All vegan, lots of options, Tasty, vegan bubble tea, Kind people, good value

Cons: Sketchy neighborhood, Not the healthiest place

MUST TRY!

Went here yesterday on my short visit to Seattle and loved it! Beat vegan Vietnamese food I’ve had to date! The owner was super sweet and encouraged me to try the buffet so I could taste everything and there wasn’t one item I didn’t like! And on top of that JACKFRUIT BOBA! Need I say more?
