Reviews for Renton Bistro in Renton, WA
The restaurant is understaffed, so expect a wait (- worth it!). I got the mango salad and fish sauce wings. Note there was only... 1 cook, so I know Auntie or Uncle back there is a 10/10 cook! The chicken wings were hot, saucy, crispy, and JUICY!! The mangosalad was so fresh and the fried tofu was sooo good in the mix. My friends came for the pho which they said was definitely worthit as well! Lastly, the prices here are actually decent for the area! Definitely coming back again :) Read more
My go to Vietnamese spot when I'm in Seattle! We came in around 12:15ish or so. Took awhile for a table to free up. We ordered... the grilled pork spring roll, Bun Rieu - Shrimp Egg Tofu Noodle Soup, Steamed Rice Cakes - Bahn Beo Chen, and the combobun. Downside this time around, food took a long time to come out. And unfortunately, the steamed rice cakes (even though weordered it ahead of time), still came last, almost after we were all eating. It was definitely good to try, but definitely tooheavy to eat it as the last item. I definitely recommend only ordering the rice cakes for a larger party, like 5+. Nonetheless,the flavors were all there. Still so good! Hope for service and kitchen can pump food out faster. Follow the adventure@shoyuthebest on IG! Read more
So happy with our experience and the food here! We stopped by on a busy Saturday afternoon and the wait time for a table was... about 25-30 minutes. Waitlist to sign in is at the front counter. We ordered the fish sauce wings, bun bo hue, grilled porkchops with broken rice, and a vietnamese iced coffee. Everything was BOMBBBBBBB but special shout out to the friendly service wereceived from Linda who works there! She was attending to the front counter while taking care of all the food/drinks for everytable there. She was very efficient and calm as she was handling literally 10 different tasks all at once, all by herself. Wecan’t wait to go back to try the rest of the menu! Read more
Right now Renton Bistro is having staffing problems, so expext to wait a little bit. That said, the wait is worth it. The menu... is full of Vietnamese specialties that are simply delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Read more
One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in town. Everything we ordered was delicious but definitely order from their house... special selections and definitely order the bahn beo steamed rice cakes and bahn xeo Vietnamese crepe. Remember to order therice cakes dish ahead of time since they need 20 minutes to prepare it. The cha gio fried egg rolls were great, crispy andthey're fish sauce is nicely balance, not too sweet nor salty. The only comment is that their bowl of pho is a tad bit on theoily side. That would be one of the few items that I probably won't order again. But from what I heard the other dishes arefantastic. We'll definitely be back to try their other selections. Read more
Love this place! Great menu selection, quality food and great service. They do get busy during lunch times, be patient, the... wait is worth it. ???? Read more
I have been to this restaurant in the past and the food was okay. This time my order was to go. I ordered a shrimp and crab dish... and got 4 small shrimp swimming in a gelatinous goo of crab flakes. No real crab. I also ordered a spring role with fish sauceinstead of the peanut sauce because I am can't eat peanuts. Fish sauce was clearly stated on the receipt. But when I got home,not only did they include peanut sauce instead of the fish sauce that I ordered, but there was a piece of plastic swimmingaround in the food along with the crab flakes. Not good at all! Read more
I went to this place 3-4 times. Pros: food I ordered were great! Everything tasted yummy. Menu variety. Cons: staff shortage.... long wait time to get seatings and order food. If you are time constraints, don’t go there. I recommend to go off hours andwhen you are not in rush. Parking is available on premises but it can be very crowded and you may park on the street. There aresteps to enter the restaurant. Wheelchair would be very difficult. Casual atmosphere, good for the whole family. Read more
