Monkey Bridge

Fun little place in Ballard. Stumbled upon it, and grabbed lunch on a recent Sunday. Everything that we had was very good - well prepared, tasty, and very enjoyable. Really enjoyed their goi cuon (they called them shrimp salad rolls on the menu), as well as their Banh Mi). Lots of other diners were having their Pho, so we'll need to go back to try their pho another time. The food was delicious, and the service was also very good (very attentive and they took good care of us). Great little corner location, and they make the most of the little space they have. Great little find.

Good food with a variety of Vietnamese dishes, directly across Swedish My favorite is the Shrimp Salad roll- super fresh and the rice noodle is just the right texture Shrimp pho is pretty good Beef pho is not as flavorful as the other pho specialty places The winner imho is the decor and ambiance East off street parking

We had early dinner at about 6pm, it is very airy and open feeling, we like the paintings on the wall. It is very quiet and peaceful. Service is attentive and prompt. My partner had shrimp spring rolls and fried chicken egg rolls, and they liked them both. I am eating vegan currently and had some of their vegetarian curry, with coconut yellow curry sauce, tofu and shiitake mushrooms, carrots, on rice, very delicious, with a soothing vegan broth soup on the side, and lots to take home. Very pleasant and delicious meal!

The broth for the pho was the best I ever had! Seriously amazing. My only complaint is the meat was cut very thick and was very fatty. Very chewy and not a great taste. Didn’t eat the meat in my pho. With all that being said, I would still go back and order the same thing and just pick around the meat. The tofu veggie wraps were so amazing and delicious! The tofu was perfect!

Giving 5 stars BUT I have some feedback :) I ordered the Hue City Beef Noodle with sliced beef, and I found that the beef was just a little too tough/chewy and too large. I would have also preferred the noodles to be a bit less cooked, but I’m not sure if that’s possible. Otherwise, the broth was amazing, good portion sizes, and the price was good for the amount of food :) super friendly staff and inviting atmosphere!

A small place, we went there around 2 pm, Saturday. No wait and not many people. They check vaccination status for indoor dine in. We ordered "monkey bridge pho", "fried tofu egg rolls" and "banh mi" Pho was overall good, ok toppings, soup was great. Maybe pick other kind of pho for next time. Egg rolls are great and crispy. My boyfriend had banh mi, looked amazing, big and he said taste great. Banh mi comes with a cup of tasty congee.
