A labor shortage is affecting the restaurant and hotel industries around the country right now, and Seattle is no different. That's why we're happy to be sponsoring Uplift Northwest for our June Commu…
Best pho in the city! Perfect noodles! Great flavor in broth. Excellent, tender brisket. I wish there was a little more rare beef.

My ongoing concern with Ba Bar revolves around the inconsistency of the food quality. While there are times when customer service may fall short, the primary issue lies with the food itself. Having frequented the Cap Hill Ba Bar location for over a decade and often ordering takeout, I have consistently encountered variations in the dishes. The broth, for instance, can range from richly flavorful to disappointingly bland. As someone with a background in the culinary industry, I strive to be understanding, yet I have found that whether ordering through DoorDash or directly from the restaurant, the portion sizes vary significantly. I even reached out to the manager to express my concerns about these inconsistencies, but the response I received was dismissive and lacked accountability. The manager's defensiveness did not address the issues I raised, which only reinforces my perception of the dining experience being inconsistent both in-house and through takeout. The Crispy Imperial Rolls were everything short of crispy. They tasted microwaved and they were cold when I received my order. The Pho Ga was bland, had brown greens and unflavored broth. I also received a very small portion of broth, less than 3/4 of a quart. Pictured below is not a quart container, just to be clear.

Quality of food is normally decent but the portions/presentations are laughable. The $ Imperial Roll came in a tiny to-go sauce cup... not worth the price at all.

The portions are so small for the prices. My chicken salad had just a few bits of meat strewn on top of the cabbage. My pho came with a ball of noodles the size of a deck of cards. Do not recommend for takeout. Maybe its better dining in. I also got a side of broth for $11 thinking the quality might be worth the price but it wasnt .

The garlic crab Garlic Crab Noodle, Lemongrass Rockfish, and Prawn, Cucumber & Pineapple Salad were all outstanding. Flavors were subtle and complex, and the veggies/fruit were super fresh.
