"Located in the International District on MLKJ Way, this is a worthwhile stop over on route to Seattle! The eclectic neighbourhood offers multi-cultural cuisines from China to Vietnam to Ethiopia!! With more and more new apartments being built in the area, this has become more of an Up and Coming Neighbourhood! Huong Duong has been here for the last 5 years and had built up a loyal client base; having customers from afar or in the neighbourhood. Our Server is super friendly and has a great smile, his attention to customer are evident as he would make sure from table to table that we are well looked after! Items ordered: Spicy Noodle Soup i.e. Bun Bo Hue $US8.59 4/5 stars Thick Rice Noodles are submerged in a very rich and well flavoured stock, with lemon grass, fish sauce, chilli etc. this well known Vietnamese delicacy is well represented here. One thing that stood out was the Pork Meat Balls, so tasty and tender, but still carry a good bouncy texture! YUM! Duck Noodle Soup $US8.59 4/5 stars This is a speciality item in any Vietnamese Restaurants and each one has their own family recipe. Hong Duong 's version is super clean, the broth is very delicate with just a hint of duck, which if not done properly can become too gamy! Accompanied with pickled bamboo shoots, onion, cilantro this for sure can be categorized as Soul Food . Oh, and it come with a side of very very well dressed Cabbage Slaw, and the dipping sauce for the duck; ginger chilli sauce. Shrimp Mango Salad $US8.59 4/5 stars Perfect refreshing, crunchy, tangy, savoury, colourful! Good salad to go with anything you 've ordered or can be had by itself if you don 't want anything else! Being in such a highly competitive neighbourhood, Huong Duong is able to hold it 's own and offer a upbeat alternative of Vietnamese food that we all know so well! Final Score: 4 stars Verdict: Recommend!"
