The best Pho I have ever had! I have eaten here at least 100 times over the past 15 years and every meal and experience has been wonderful. This place is a hidden gem in Portland.

The pho here was unique compared to other restaurants in the area. Very rich and flavorful and slightly on the sweeter side (if that’s how you can describe the taste). They gave us a small tofu soup that I really loved. I haven’t ever tasted something like this before but wow! It was amazing! The sauté spice was also very yummy.

Decent interior and food except the crab meat soup (soup cua) was super salty couldn't eat it. The rest was good. Bun bo hue was decent. Menu has many items. friendly lady.

We were exhausted from overnight flight from California. It's Sunday and most of restaurants closed in Portland, why? Lol I skeptical first because no one in the restaurant, and the area is not the best. But Pho broth is good, and complimentary tofu soup is good. The Lumpia is okay.

I haven't been here for quite awhile now, but the pho is amazing, along with all of the other food I've tried here. The complimentary tofu soup is absolutely delicious, although I'm not sure if they still do that. I haven't been in since before covid. Clean place and very friendly staff.
