Watercress Vietnam Kitchen - Kirkland

We absolutely loved the Pho! It’s a significant upgrade in both ingredient quality and flavor compared to your typical Pho. Plus, the view of downtown Seattle from the window seats is spectacular—perfect for a date night!

This restaurant offers genuine Vietnamese dishes and inventive cocktails. The Pho broth is among the finest available. It's a great spot to relax and watch sports, with fewer crowds than other restaurants in Kirkland. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the patio boasts fantastic water views!

They offer the best egg rolls at a fantastic price. They use rice paper, which gives the outside a wonderfully crispy texture, while the filling is incredibly flavorful. I spent months trying every Vietnamese restaurant near Bellevue and Kirkland, and I only found one other place that makes egg rolls as well as they do. Watercress charges half the price, so they come out on top. Other favorites of mine include the pho and their wok stir-fried chili lemongrass dish (you can choose the meat, and I prefer beef or chicken).

Great food, wonderful staff, no baby changing tables (or any horizontal surfaces in the bathrooms). The restroom situation was a bit odd because the restrooms actually belong to the bar next door, and I was a bit unsure if I was in the right area.
