Reviews for CÔBA - Viet Kitchen & Ales in Seattle, WA
Wow! This is pho with finesse. They craft their food with a touch of elegance and a pinch of extravagance. Our passion fruit... lemonade and basil mint lemonades were incredibly refreshing. The chicken lettuce wrap starter had amazing flavor in thestir-fry. The crisp lettuce and garnish perfectly cleansed the pallet for the next one. Finally we had the beef rib and steakpho (which you can see there are two giant ribs), we well as the oxtail and steak pho. The meats were fall-off-the-bone and thebroth felt like a mother's hug. The prices are more than fair and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Please eat here. Read more
Fun interior, responsive and friendly staff. Food is fresh and delicious! Shrimp were a bit pedestrian but fried tofu was great... and drinks were delicious and refreshing! Read more
Good place for delicious Vietnamese food at a great price. Personally would pass on the fried spring crispy rolls but the papaya... salad was quite delicious. Not huge portions but still very light and tasty and a good way to cut the richness. Ordered the BoKho which is definitely the highlight with a deep braised beef stew. Upgraded to zucchini noodles which are delicious andcarb-free which is a fantastic option. Service was quick and friendly. Read more
One of the Vietnamese place in Seattle which won't disappoint you. They had the best chicken broth. I would really recommend... everything from their pho menu. We also had the crab rangoon which was less crabby but more cheesy. The banh mi was good and hadthe fresh bread, easily recomend that as well. Read more
I enjoyed the food here. The grilled pork bahn mi was good, and the side of soup and fries were tasty too. I like the seasoning... and sauce they give for the fries. For appetizers I got the crispy rolls and kimchi calamari. They were both okay, but next timeI'd probably try something else. I think I liked the crispy rolls more than the calamari. My friend got the chicken bahn miwhich she liked too. I tried the salty lemonade drink which was okay but I probably wouldn't order it again since I preferredplain water. Read more
This place is a solid 4. Everything was good. I also wanted to point out, the staff was good as well, they were really busy, but... we still had good service and the kitchen must have Flash back there, all the food came out very fast. I would point out thattheir mains are pretty big. We could have shared the Pho with a couple sides. My vermicelli dish will be lunch later. Thedifference between a 4 and a 5 star restaurant for me is if it makes me willing to cross City/County/State lines to eat thereagain. CÔBA was good, if I was downtown or near the Space Needle and craving Vietnamese food, I would come back for sure, butI would not drive across town just to eat there. That being said, their Short Rib Pho was impressive, super tender and the bonejust pulls away. We were pleasantly full when we left! My only nit pick might be the mojito was a bit strong and over poweredthe mango, not that a strong drink is ever wrong... Read more
Service was good, however, sometimes the attention was slow. The food is amazing, all the flavor combine perfectly to have an... excellent experience. Vietnamese food is one of my favorites and sometimes is hard to do these food outside Asia. I went twicethere while I was visiting Seattle, so yeah, the food was great!! The spring roles are huge (with one order, 4 people can eatjust fine). Note: proof of complete COVID-19 vaccination is required to eat at the restaurant. Read more
Parking is a little hard at this place but is pretty typical when it comes to Queen Anne. Very attentive and friendly customer... service. Price is typical like everywhere else. The food overall is pretty good with a lot of flavors. I had bun bo hue. Is notvery authentic but had a nice beef broth flavor. The Kumquat green tea is very refreshing and good. Recommend giving their drinkmenu a try! Check them out if you are in the area! Read more
