We love to eat at M&T Cafe.
I love the hot stone chicken Pho
The Singapore Noodle are a hit
My hubby loves the chickens and rice
While my daughter gets Korean Hots dogs!
We had a couple of issues in the past but this cafe makes us whole every time.

Spicy Teriyaki Chicken
The name does not reflect this blend of Thia, Vietnamese and Japanese dishes that are on the menu. Fast, friendly and professional service and delicious food that is well prepared and presented. Definitely recommend.

Hot Stone Phở
Sat at a table for 1 hour and ten minutes waiting for food. By any standard, that is unsat. M&T seems to be focused on the drive through and can't seem to manage a full restaurant. So simple information like, "it's going to be an hour wait" would be helpful to the CUSTOMER so a decision to wait can be made up front.

This place is so pretty inside. If you want somewhere for an intimate date night. It also has a drive thru for those in a bigger hurry. The food is so tasty, always cooked to perfection, no charred bits on the teriyaki, flavorful fried rice, kind employees.

We had breakfast. The burrito was excellent, the muffin was good but could have been a little crisper, same for the bacon. Excellent drinks and friendly waitress. Will be back to try the phad Thai.

NO LONGER THE SAME OWNER AS MY PREVIOUS REVIEW.
The food has gone downhill, while the prices were jacked up higher. The service is lacking and the cleanliness is not as good. This is unfortunate. The Bahn Mis are ridiculously expensive for the area and not as good as before.

Update 11Sep2023
Hire a pest control company to kill your Flys.....why do I have a dozen flying around my food? I spent more time fight Flys than I did eating.
Why am I paying before my meal at a sit down restaurant? It's wierd, and unprofessional.
I'm dropping my star rating because of this

PHENOMENAL atmosphere. Extensive Menu!
Great New restraunt for Silverdale
PHO was very good portions
Rice Dishes were delicious
Bahn MI was good
Wait staff was top notch!
Food was fast
To the Owner: you desperately need to rebrand. Cafe is a terrible word and does not appropriately define what you are. Your restraunts need a standalone catchy name. I didnt even realize M&T Cafe had anything but light snacks. You have done a phenomenal job with interior decoration and your food menu is quite extensive and delicious. I made sure to order one thing from every part.
Additional idea: Silverdale is lacking in breakfast restaurants severely. There is maybe 4 places and total people go. You guys already have great breakfast drinks, Have you considered serving up breakfast foods to fill a much needed gap? I know traditional Vietnamese cuisine does not have a lot of breakfast options, But perhaps you can put a fusion twist on it.

Service was a little slow as there was only one front of house, but the food and atmosphere were amazing. The grilled pork sandwich had just the right amount of sweet and spicy. The salad that comes with it was a great cleanser. And the Thai tea was just what I needed to go with it all.

TLDR: The food was very decent for the price, good place for a quick date or dinner.
This place doesn't have a lot of competition in the Silverdale area as far as Vietnamese places go, which made it a rather obvious choice. The location is very easily accessible, just off a main road, and with lots of outdoor and indoor seating I don't imagine it's difficult to get a table even at peak hours.
The ambiance was very nice. Felt like I was definitely in more of an upscale cafe, and with mood lighting in the outdoor seating area it felt cozy after the sun went down.
The service was wonderful. Our server was very kind, quick on his feet, and got everything right! The appetizer came out super quick, and the main course was nicely paced to space out the courses.
The food, however, left something to be desired. The plating is fantastic; major props to them for the food looking just like the pictures, and the pleasing appearances. We got the house spring rolls, which are BBQ pork and shrimp. They were okay, but tasted rather average. For a price of $9 for two rolls, I was expecting more flavor. The peanut sauce was good, though peanut sauce is simple and usually delicious.
For the entree, I ordered a BBQ pork Bahn Mi, which looked fantastic. The ratio of pork to veggies was perfect, and the pork was absolutely delicious. The bread wasn't nearly as high quality I was expecting, especially for $12, but it was still good. I do wish they had fresher vegetables, but we went rather late so it's possible that's on us.
As for the drink, I got a strawberry peach black tea. It tasted like a normal boba tea, very sweet but the fruit flavor was very prevalent and it wasn't terribly expensive.
All in all, I did enjoy my experience at this place, and I'm excited to return in the future.

5/4/22 & 5/8/22 I did not think I would be returning to M&T Cafe & Bar so soon, so here I am left, re-writing my reviews due to limited space.
Today my hubby and I dined in; looking through the menu, there had to have been well over fifty items, not including drinks; everything sounded so enticing, but I wanted Chicken Teriyaki, which I ordered. My hubby wanted Banh Mi Sandwich and ordered a Southern Fried Chicken Banh Mi. My teriyaki came with white rice and a very basic salad with a sweetened white dressing, no discernible taste with that dressing aside from being sweet.
My food was plated well and looked so good. And although the Teriyaki Chicken came cold, I was eating it because it did taste scrumptious. I did bring it to our server's attention to let the kitchen know that the teriyaki was cold and not adequately warmed. Still, it was so good I had no problem eating it cold, and although the kitchen and wait staff insisted on bringing me hot teriyaki, I declined many times. They gave me fresh anyway, which was fabulous and probably the best chicken teriyaki I have ever had, hot or cold! My hubby loved his sandwich but was slightly disappointed with the size of the plate itself, which was aesthetically pleasing but hard to work with because it was small.
The cafe was fresh-looking and clean; it wasn't overcrowded with decor but enough to please the eye. And with their lighting, the ambiance was warm; the large curved windows in the front, as you walk in, gave the cafe a feeling of being more significant in appearance and, weirdly, almost a soft modern industrial look.
So far, I have enjoyed an Avocado Matcha Tea with Boba.
The choice of sweetness was 30, 50, 75, or 100%, I chose 30%, and although drinkable, creamy, and tasty, it was still a little overwhelmingly sweet to me. As far as healthy, I feel the sweetened Match and the Boba overrules the healthiness of the Avocado, IMO.
I enjoyed two spring rolls; their cost was under seven dollars, and a Non-fat Boba Latte the other day. I have to admit I've never seen spring rolls that were not deep-fried, not that I'm complaining about the other ones, but I try and stay away from a lot of deep-fried items, these were lovely, fresh looking, and perhaps, either way, is the "traditional" way, I honestly can not say. They were yummy, and I will purchase them again sometime.
I highly enjoyed the Non-fat Boba Latte, minus the brown sugar swirl around the cup, which was so tasty but odd as it may sound; I enjoyed it just as much without the brown sugar swirl.
One more item I have had from here was a Non-fat Iced Latte; although not entirely disappointing, the drink could have been more potent; I wanted more coffee taste which I didn't get from that.
A few other items on their menu were Noodle Bowls, Teriyaki plates, Fried rice, Pho, Appetizers, and more.
The drive-through menu offered the typical hot and iced drinks, americano's, lattes, mochas, etc., some teas, London fog, chai, and so on; this place also offers blended beverages such as espresso shakes, fruit smoothies, protein smoothies, etc. Classic drink section that has listed boba drinks, milk tea with boba, and puff cream; what the heck is puff cream?? What about tiger sugar milk with boba? Unique sounding, right? I won't stop there; M&T also offers smoothies, such as passion fruit smoothies with boba, avocado matcha tea with boba (I had that), strawberry shortcake with boba, and many more. There is a slew of extra toppings, very interesting, to say the least.
The staff seems friendly enough, accommodating and clean.
My hubby used the restroom, and he said it was clean with no foul smells or sticky floors.
Their location is in the Silverdale Plaza, 10424 Silverdale Way NW, Silverdale, WA 98383. This plaza hosts several other businesses, such as Ross, Seoul Korean BBQ, Chili Thai, Wild Bird Center, etc.
I always say it's a great way to support a locally owned small business and get some excellent food in the process!!!! *Be safe, enjoy the Spring, and please be kind to ALL living things.*
