My weekly spot for Vietnamese food! I love the vermicelli bowls, I usually get pork or the lemongrass chicken. Their crispy rolls are on point too! My coworkers also love their Pho and Banh Mi sandwiches.They have covered outdoor seating, daily specials, Vietnamese specialty beverages, etc. Dogs can sit outside with owners.

This review is long OVERDUE. For more than fifteen years, I have enjoyed the food, the servers and was once known to take a sear at the bar (no longer). I have witnessed the many transitions by reminding and changes in the menu. As far as I can tell, the food quality has yet to let me down. Speaking of down...sick with a cold, the Chicken Pho is essential. Did you know that chicken with rice alleviates the symptoms of diarrhea? Dr.Oz!In the rice and the chicken, not noodles.Hey, BTW: If you are unsure of what to order, ask ASK! Anyone there can recommend you something satisfying.

I love this place. The food is really delicious and the people and service are always super friendly and surprisingly fast. It’s my family’s go to for dinner when they come to town due to multiple dietary needs we have and we can all eat here. Thank you!

Food was delicious and the staff was amazing! Benjamin brought out our food and drinks, but really went above and beyond as far as his service. He checked up on us and made sure our drinks were tasty (they were delicious!) and even bagged up my food for me that I didn’t finish. Exceeded my expectations for sure. A lot of places kind of give you your food and peace out but this place was super warm and friendly. Will definitely be coming back.

Delicious crispy rolls as an appetizer and copious outstanding pho for lunch! Couldn’t finish it…we will definitely be back! Thank you!

If you are a vegetarian teetotaler I wouldn’t recommend. Added in the basil and lime to their vegetarian pho, and wow… it must have either meat or crack to taste that good. The lemongrass chicken was also delicious once we added the sauce (chicken was great but noodles dry). Prices a bit high for Vietnamese compared to other places but flavor was awesome, atmosphere very laid back. Would def return.

Good stuff! Food for your face hole.

Anyone that wouldn’t rate this place 5 stars has no idea what good food is! The food was amazing! Fresh and so tasty! Staff were kind, Will definitely be coming back again! Thanks for a wonderful meal on a cold rainy PDX day!

Lemomgrass beef bowl with noodles is fresh and delicious! Staff is professional and kind. Ambience is charming.

My husband had the Rahman with beef and I had the Vegetarian Pho with fried tofu. Both were delicious. The broth of the Vegetarian Pho was the most flavourful I have ever had with a non-meat option! Very friendly and helpful service. Highly recommend!
