Monsoon Seattle

Incredible food experience where every bite felt unique and full of flavor. Each dish came out quick but the waiter was a bit slow. The wine selection could be expanded but overall 10/10 experience and can’t wait to go back again.

Rooftop secrets, Saigon Crab cravings, and the waiter who changed everything Monsoon has always been a favorite — Bellevue set the bar high for service, and Seattle keeps me coming back for the food. The Saigon Dungeness Crab with garlic noodles and spicy green beans are unbeatable, and my new obsession? The Sayulita cocktail — chili & hibiscus-infused tequila, fresh lime, cilantro, and house pomegranate grenadine. A glass of liquid art. But here’s the real MVP: Arrow. Ask for him. His patience, timing, and genuine warmth made me feel seen and reminded me what hospitality should feel like. Service this good is rare in Seattle, and it turned my night into something unforgettable. Oh, and did you know Monsoon Seattle has a rooftop? Perfect for quiet conversations, city views, and that tucked-away vibe you can’t put a price on. Pro tip: Tuesdays & Thursdays = half-price wine night .

Our favorite was the ‘papaya salad’ and the ‘Bo La Lot’! Salad had a good amount of fresh herbs which I love and the papaya was shredded well to pick up the sauce it’s mixed in. ‘Bo La Lot’ was flavorful and the jicama added such a great texture element; both 10/10! We also ordered ‘Lemongrass Tofu’, ‘Catfish Claypot’, & ‘Drunken Chicken’ with a side of ‘jasmine rice’, highly recommend the rice if you’re ordering any of dishes as the flavor and sauces on these dishes are rich and covers each piece of protein heavily. ‘Catfish Claypot’ is cooked in a black pepper sauce and I would say the pepper flavor is pretty powerful, which I like; the catfish was overall cooked nicely. We thought the ‘drunken chicken’ was good but not our favorite, more like a sweet and sour chicken which wasn’t what we expected. I also had ‘Holding Onto Summer’ cocktail, delicious and bright! Matched well with the dishes I ordered and served as a palate cleanser for me. We had 3 adults - 2 appetizers, 3 entrees, and a side of rice was a perfect amount for us! Service and atmosphere 5/5.

LOVE to come here for the Dim Sum. This restaurant group always delivers Would not recommend the banh mi, the chicken was odd, like giving Chinese orange chicken energy. Deep oil fry, super sweet. I do love that it came with the broth, i would have asked for one otherwise

Great atmosphere and lunch vibe. The food was fresh and timely. The serving staff were friendly and attentive. I dined there when they first opened so there were a few guests there with me, but it was quiet, easy, setting. The portions were a little small for my liking compared to the price, but the flavor and taste made up for it. The music was good and the only issue I had was parking. Overall great experience and I enjoyed dining here and will come again.

Excellent meal and a pleasant environment. The menu is innovative, not your standard Thai or Vietnamese fare. We really enjoyed their dishes. Would recommend getting a reservation, otherwise you may get a table, or may have to wait a while. FYI the price reflects a premium dining experience.

Only remembered to take pics of the drinks but not the food. Drinks are good. Food wise, don't expect traditional Vietnamese food, more fusion Chinese. Portions are smallish but come out quick for the most part. Seating outside and in, very brisk at 7-8 slot.

Food is amazing. Some of the best I’ve had in Seattle. The catfish clay pot was delicious 7 years ago and is just as good today. The cocktails are excellent. Have highly recommended this to everyone I know. Everyone is super friendly. The Ba Lo Lot are also worth trying. Definitely would recommend eating family style
