    The chicken were garlicky and crunchy - they taste so good! I like how simple the menu is because I don't need to think too long about what to order. The rice tastes better with the chicken than the noodle soup. The banana pandan waffles didn't have much flavor so it's a good option for people who enjoys desserts that aren't too sweet.

    A delicious Vietnamese restaurant specializing in fried chicken wings! The food and service here is great, and the interior of the restaurant is pretty cute. Would highly recommend the pandan waffles for dessert as well, they were absolutely delicious. Absolutely no complaints, will definitely be coming back!

    I consider this place a must-try for both local Seattleites and visitors alike! For every visit I've made here, including this one, food is always exceptional and I always leave satisfied. This was on a Saturday lunch time, and there was plenty of seating and no wait time for my friend and me. Parking wise, I'd recommend parking along S Jackson St on the side if you can, other parking options are either relatively sketchy or very far for walking. Expect am ample amount of seating inside and Vietnamese pop music playing on a TV nearby. The menu for this spot is very simple, but their most well-known dish (even before they expanded their menu) is their chicken rice plate. It comes with garlic rice, chicken broth, salad, and a big piece of garlic fried chicken. I got this dish along with their pandan waffles, which comes with coconut cloud whip for dipping. Food came out fast, and service was great, especially when the workers got the waffles ready as soon as they saw my friend and I finish our rice dish. Speaking of the dishes, the chicken rice dish was definitely the highlight of the whole meal! It's appropriately flavored without being too strong, and the garlic rice and salad served as a great palette cleanser for the soup, which was really salty but something I still enjoyed nonetheless. The pandan waffles were awesome too! I can taste the pandan flavoring, and adding the coconut dip enhanced the taste a lot. This is a restaurant that comes to the front of my mind if I want to take someone to Little Saigon and treat them to a meal here, so I'll definitely be back here for more!

    This restaurant is literally shaped like a boat, and its interior is cutely decorated, adding a fun and charming touch. From the moment we arrived, the restaurant was bustling with activity. Despite the crowd, the employees worked hard and efficiently, so we barely had to wait to be seated or served. The service was top-notch, which only enhanced our dining experience. Now, let's talk about the food... Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The noodles were cooked to perfection, the broth was seasoned just right, and the vegetables were fresh. The chicken, in particular, stood out--garlicky, juicy, and packed with flavor. But the highlight for me was the banana and pandan waffles. They were crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside--pure indulgence. I'm salivating just thinking about it! I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Washington. Highly recommend giving The Boat a try!
