Coba Reviews

We walked in without reservation. Park on the street or nearby parking ramps. We were promptly greeted and seated. Tables with bare wooden top, no linen. The menu is heavily Vietnamese inspired. The service was friendly and attentive. The server forgot to bring one entree for one person. Which upon request arrived after everyone was done eating. The other food service was very fast. Food tasted average at best and was served at the right temperature. The interior decoration is limited.

You know if you’re on vacation and you choose to go back to the same restaurant- it MUST be good. Truth be told- you do have to like this kind of food. We got that sampler, which was 30$c l, but it had a wide assortment of items that everyone could try. I got the pork lemongrass vermicelli. Very very flavorful.

Went for dinner while visiting Seattle and staying in Queen Anne area. Family of three had entrees from lemongrass pork bun (noodles), ban mi, and green papaya salad with prawns. All were well executed and generous proportions. Fresh roll app was two large rolls. Beer list was solid as well

Decided to try this place since my partner and I were in the area. What a great move it was. It was a Sunday afternoon sometime after their brunch was over. There was only one other table being serviced which would have normally been alarming but since it was a Sunday during the typically lull--too late for lunch, too early for dinner--we decided to take a chance. We tried the Coba Rolls, Chicken Pho and the Coba Trio. Everything came out quickly and was excellent!! The flavors, the freshness...top notch. Felicia, our server was good too. She made sure we were taken care of. Can't wait to come back. I know that during the week this place gets packed. But it will be worth the wait.

Cute little restaurant. Friendly staff fun music great fast meal. I had the Bun vermicelli dish with prawns. Very good.

We love Banh mi and have recently been surveying Banh mi places in Seattle. This is one of our top choices. Excellent flavour, nice bread and even the side of fries are pretty nice. Service is also very good. Both times we have been, there have been plenty of tables. Parking is a challenge though!

This is not your average Vietnamese restaurant. I eat a lot of Vietnamese food and I like it. the food here is particularly good, I think. It's also priced fairly high, as good food typically is. We started with the rice noodle rolls, sometimes called salad rolls. They were more expensive than at other restaurants I've been to BUT they contained large shrimp which were delicious and the peanut based dipping sauce was far more complex (and tasty) than is typical. So I'm inclined to say you get what you pay for here. I'm putting it in mid-range because, while I think it's more expensive than your average Vietnamese food, it's nothing like "fine dining" pricey--at least as I think of that category. Probably a dozen beers on tap--nice range. And some interesting cocktails. Staff is very accommodating. And it wasn't too noisy. (We were there on a Sunday evening, before a play at Seattle Rep, which is just around the corner.) I'd certainly go back.

Great value - tasty food and friendly service. Loved the Butter Lettuce chicken wrap (like sang choy bau) and the sautéed green beans. After travelling for weeks and eating in lots of restaurants it was good o have some crispy tasty vegetables.

Had dinner here with colleagues. Four of us in the party. The food was very good and would recommend. The restaurant was not crowded at all maybe 3 other tables. So was surprised at the service being slow. Not major but if it had gotten crowded it would have been bad. Overall good food and experience.

After days of Usa food spoiling a vegetarian pho was rejuvenating. Absolutely authentic broth and tasty original flavors. Fresh and quality rice paper rolls. Clean room and courteous Service.

We came here for lunch on a work day. The food was very good, just a little expensive. I had Lemongrass chicken noodle bowl, which was a HUGE amount of very tasty chicken thigh on noodles, with veggies and sauce on the side. I tried to save enough for a second meal, but only succeeded in saving a snack:) My husband's Fried Rockfish rice was OK, fish was flavorful. There was a monster bowl-scoop of rice, with the fried egg on top of that. He took it off and put it on the fish, as there was no way to eat all that rice. Service was quick and generally good. The whole experience just didn't add up to the prices.

Cool spot with great vibe. The staff was really nice and helpful. We got two different noodle bowls, one with the crispy rolls, which were great. Good beer and drink list. Full bar. I’ll go back!

A casual atmosphere with good pho including vegan options! The spring rolls were yummy and the chicken pho had great flavor with a lot of chicken.

We went for the Bun vermicelli rice noodle bowl $12 each with charred Lemongrass steak and weren't disappointed. Huge portion so recommend splitting with a companion. Crispy rolls $8 were perfect. Very attentive service. Full bar, we had rosé and beer. Highly recommend.

Fabulous pho. Clean bathroom. Good service. Reasonable prices. I like this atmosphere and the neighborhood is a nice one for walking.

Seattle offers for all tastes and budget excellent restaurants. Got a demand for Vietnamese food. Great food, well spiced, fresh draft. A place to repeat

Wow! The Vietnamese dishes here were phenomenal! We ordered a good sample of the menu - fried spring rolls, lemongrass chicken bun (noodle salad), and pork banh mi, all perfectly cooked, and with the most incredible flavour pairings! The banh mi also came with a side of delicious beef broth, which I believe is their pho base. You know a restaurant is nailing it when they aren't afraid to serve the broth on its own! This place deserves so much more recognition!

My wife and I stopped here for lunch one day on our trip to see. She had chicken pho and I had the grilled steak banh mi. Both of our dishes were fantastic! The staff was polite and service was great. We had to show our vaccine cards upon entering and all staff members were wearing masks, which was nice to see. The aesthetic is great too! They have a large menu with many different options that all sounded delicious! Definitely a great place to visit for lunch or dinner while you’re in Seattle!

Wonderful find. Food came out really quickly and was amazing. Crab ragoons were divine, bahn sandwich and mango salad fresh and delicious!

Absolutely fantastic food and service!! Had the lettuce wraps and loved them. We stayed at the Mediterranean Inn and were able to walk over for lunch. The restaurant was clean. 10/10

Good authentic Vietnamese food combined with a trendy Americanized aesthetic, so it may be pricier than a traditional Vietnamese restaurant. None of the staff were wearing masks, which was a surprise to see after having been in this pandemic for so long. The restroom was very clean, which I appreciate. The table I sat at though still had crumbs from the last person who ate there. While I was eating, a waiter brought me my check long before he took away the empty plate from my appetizer. While seating some customers, I saw a waitress drop a menu on the floor and then pick it up and place it on the bar before. I didn't know if the menu got cleaned or sanitized. The staff was polite, but could definitely work on making customers feel more confident that the restaurant is clean and sanitary.

For vegetarians, there is enough delicious food here to bring you back for more. Meat eaters will enjoy this Vietnamese fare, too, although I only know this from those in my party. We go here when we have a play to attend at the Seattle Rep Theater just around the corner. And the service is great. Many thanks.

Vietnamese restaurant offering excellent Pho and appetizers. Try vegetarian Pho, spicy aubergines, vegetarian crispy rolls and fried pancakes. Everything's great. Beware of the portions, they are plentiful.

Lovely spot in the heart of lower Queen Anne. Great service, yummy food. I loved the crispy crab rolls. They weren't greasy at all and the sauce is delicious.

Fried pancakes were heavenly crispy on outside and moist inside. Bhan mi was made with fresh baguette and delicious ingredients Kudos to chef
