Bun & Oc in Seattle

Loved it!I didn't know what to expect considering the unique menu, but was pleasantly surprised. Ordered shrimp pho and stir fry periwinkle snails with garlic butter. The snails were AMAZING, served with a tangy dipping sauce and very flavorful. The pho was very good with a broth that tasted very unique to other pho restaurants in the area, I could really taste the crispy onion. It also came with hot tea.I also loved the ambiance and service. The place was really well decorated and larger than I expected. I came in the middle of the day and they were playing what sounded like Vietnamese EDM, very groovy.It is a bit more upscale than some other local Vietnamese restaurants, but absolutely worth the price. Can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu.

I ordered a kids pho for my kids and they brought out a bowl with noodle and broth only. I thought it was a mistake but they said their kid pho doesn’t have meat. Omg I paid almost $10 for only noodle and broth??? I also order the sugar cane, the menu states $6 but they charged me $7. I didn’t know what I drink since it definitely not sugar cane. It tasted funny. I’m very disappointed from the last time I visited. I know the cost of everything has gone up but I didn’t expect to pay $10 for a kid meal with only noodle and broth.

While most reviews here are about the food for good reason, I'm focusing on the drinks that they serve as "Omodo Tea House." In their banner, you can see Bun & Oc in the top right and there's no specific location for Omodo Tea House, so I figure that's just what they called themselves at the Chinatown Night Market. I mean if I knew it was a Vietnamese restaurant in the beginning, I may have avoided ordering a drink simply because lots of restaurants with drinks like boba tend to be powdery in the first place. Specifically, a lot of pho restaurants commonly have powdery drinks and this was no exception. However, I saw "Omodo Tea House" and figured that they specialized in tea or something, but the tea is comparable to Tapioca Express or Oasis. If that's what you're into, by all means go for it, but it's not my c...
