★★★★☆ 4.0 Doris C · Feb 2026

Went here for lunch on a Saturday. There was no wait, a few tables were full when we went around 1pm. We ordered the pho with tendon/ beef, vegan pho, shrimp pork spring rolls, and pork vermicelli bowls. The portion sizes were decent, vegetables were fresh. They were accommodating when we asked for the mung beans to be blanched. Only thing was some of the beef slices had a bit of over-frozen taste. Otherwise the service was good and was a good place to bring the family.

Food was amazing. My partner got pho (P1) and I got a rice plate (R1). We also got the thai iced tea and honeydew boba. They were both amazing. Pricing wasn't too bad, we spent $45 in total. and got a good amount of food. Service was 4/5 stars just because it took a little long to get to us despite there being 3 other tables. They had a fabulous playlist the whole entire time but there weren't any 2 person tables when we were there, only 4-tops. Highly recommend, definitely an underrated spot.

Stopped by for dinner and had a good experience. The staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the spring rolls and the lemongrass dish, both were pretty good. I’ve had better but overall it’s solid and worth a try. The restaurant also had a nice, welcoming atmosphere. I enjoyed my visit and would definitely recommend it!

A nice downtown Vietnamese restaurant with its own parking lot! I ordered a tofu dish and a cold noodle salad. Both were good. They played a lot of Michael Jackson in the background

One of my favorite pho spots on the northwest side of Portland. 💯 on The Pho This Epic bartender made me a customized honeydew boba, frozen drink with a respectful amount of Belvedere mixed in!!! Hello Heaven If Green Tea, Vodka & Honey Dew had a love child that was sent into The cosmos and their soul dispersed into 1 million pieces that trickle down on earth Like rain and those rain waters blessed all the humans. This is what that rain would taste like 💯😎🤣
