50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Damascus

“Good stuff my whole family enjoy it 🍜 and coco water and sugar cane drink was the bomb must try 👍🏼“

“We ordered 2 pho orders togo. Prices are good, portions are good, pho broth is good, place is clean and friendly staff. The only thing that I really wish that was better was the brisket, it was thin, dry and tough also the tendon was a little tough compared to Pho Hung and Pho Oregon, it usually melts in your mouth. I would of gave it a 5 stars if the meat was tender. If the chef could work on not overcooking the meat then this would be my go to spot.“

“They do, in fact, have killer ban mi! They also have huge portions for a reasonable price, and attentive and helpful staff that go above and beyond. Can’t recommend them enough! Their lemongrass pork bahn mi is absolute delicious and addictive.“

“Best soups in Portland!! Great smoothies also. Don’t miss out!“

“Delicious food and a very friendly atmosphere!“

“I had a fantastic experience at Yoonique Phở & Grill! The pho was outstanding, with an overabundance of meat—something you don’t see often. They definitely don’t skimp on portions, making the meal feel like a great value for the price. Speaking of which, the prices were very reasonable, especially considering the generous serving sizes.

The interior of the restaurant was well-laid-out, which honestly surprised me given the neighborhood. It had a clean, inviting atmosphere that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The service was also top-notch—attentive, friendly, and efficient.

Perhaps the biggest testament to the quality of the food is that even my picky wife enjoyed it! That alone speaks volumes. If you’re looking for delicious pho, great service, and fair prices, Yoonique Phở & Grill is definitely worth a visit.

Update to Our Review:

We returned to the restaurant and, as always, the food was excellent. This time, we tried the seafood fried rice, which unfortunately wasn’t a hit—it just didn’t land well for us. On the brighter side, the fresh lychee tea was superb: light, refreshing, and full of flavor. We also had the Thai iced tea, which, as always, was solid and enjoyable.

Still one of our go-to spots, and we’ll definitely be back—just not for the seafood fried rice next time.“

“The staff is very friendly. From order to table is fast. Never been disappointed with the food. When they're busy they're super busy and the hassle bustle atmosphere adds passively to the experience (in my opinion). Must try. We will always keep coming back (since 2014)!“

“Best Banh Mi in PDX! Perfect bread and super nice folx too“

“The absolute best place to get Bun Bo Hue!!!! Always great service and amazing prices for the portions. So happy to have found this place!!!!“

“Hanoi Kitchen is one of the few places in Portland that brings northern Vietnamese cuisine to the table. Our family loves this place. It brings us back to the time we lived in Hanoi down to the way Bun Cha is prepared. Must try.“

“The Vietnamese Iced Coffee was a 10/10 for me, wasn’t very sweet either which I loved. I ordered the chicken banh mi, but I’d probably give that a 7/10. The filling was good, but I wasn’t a fan of the bread. A bit too dense for me/wish it was more airy and crunchy.“

“Was excited by the daily special menu concept of this lil viet noodle joint. The food was mid-edible-decent at best, but the price is pretty high af. A bowl of whatever noodle is nearly $20! Now I know inflation is high but a bowl of vermicelli noodles in chicken broth with some shredded meats should not cost this much!“

“Everything at Cha Lua Bakery & Deli is freshly made and bursting with flavor! The banh mì is one of the best in Portland, crispy bread, savory fillings, and super affordable. Fast service, no frills, just delicious, authentic Vietnamese food. A must try!“

“I very much enjoy, clean, friendly and fast pleasant to eat every time“

“Great service. They didn't have kids friendly drinks besides water but they went out of their way to grab a something for my kiddo and it was free. Food was delicious. Will definitely be back next time I'm up from Texas.“

“So very good, amazing food, great service and a community loving owner❤️ I send people to Mekha often and they love it too!“

“We visited Pho Oregon and tried the Pho #1 and #31 (Mi Bo Kho – Beef Stewed with Egg Noodles), and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The pho broth was rich, flavorful, and incredibly fresh—definitely one of the best bowls of pho I’ve had.

The Mi Bo Kho was equally satisfying, with tender beef and perfectly cooked egg noodles in a deeply savory stew. Every bite was warm, comforting, and full of flavor.

On top of the great food, the customer service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit.

If you’re in the area and craving authentic, well-executed Vietnamese food, Pho Oregon is a must-try. Highly recommend!“

“Never disappoints. Great food, family atmosphere.“

“Nice location for relaxation by some drinks and great Vietnam menu for enjoy weekends ❤️❤️❤️“

“The bathroom had a really airy feel and a nice scent. Clean with a nice atmosphere. The decor, pictured, is intentional. The toilet paper was reasonable quality but the toilet struggled a bit with it's delivery. 🚚 The floor was a bit sticky. Would recommend.“

“Hands down the best wings ever. The owner is super friendly and his food is delicious and reasonably priced. we drive out from Damascus to get our fill and always order extra for leftovers. I could eat the Mi Quang every day!“

“Amazing food anytime, but especially when it’s too hot to cook. Incredible value. All of this was $23.“

“Amazing Pho. The best around. Broth is amazing 🤩“

“nhìn chủ nhân bày những món ngon .đẹp mắt. đầy tâm huyết. khi nào đến Portland nhất định sẽ đến đây thưởng thức các món ăn mình yêu thích“

“Got the pandan Vietnamese waffle and it was everything I hoped it would be. Perfect amount of flavor with coconut flakes and the texture was chewy almost like mochi. I would highly recommend that and the sugar cane drink! Can’t wait to go back and try more“

“This is a great place for Vietnamese hot pot and grilled squid. The menu offers a great deal of variety and the service is amazing. If you like to challenge you pallet, you’ll be so happy here.“

“This is my favorite Pho restaurant. Great service, clean, stylish atmosphere and really friendly employees.“

“so Yummy 😋 Great vegetarian options! My Favorite is #12 my mom Loves Their Honeycomb cake! delicious also so Many snacks and beverage options it is definitely a great lunch spot I Rate ☆☆☆☆☆5 🌟 's P.S Staff is Wonderful/Friendly“

“This was my husband’s first time trying Pho and he loved it everything that we ordered was delicious we definitely will be back ❤️“

“love the decor. wait staff were very friendly“

“Still love this place!!! We had our normal go-to's, but we added the beef with vegetables, even though it was mostly onions and jalapeños 😆. I think it's either #8, or #11, or #13, or was it #31 or 32?🤔
Either way, I love--and really admire--how they can get everything so piping hot and not burn anything!! Those beef cubes were sooooo tasty and sooooo freaking tender!!!

Most people sit at the bar to eat, but they do have regular restaurant seating in another portion of the building.“

“I called in a to-go order of Bánh mì for lunch. Only a 15 minute wait, super quick in and out. The sandwiches were delicious and I can't wait to go back and try more food.

Parking: There was a decent number of parking spots when i went to pick up my food around noon and there was also a 10 min reserved parking spot for picking up to-go orders“

“Out of the dozen pho places I've tried in PDX, this one was a surprise for sure. It's hands down my favorite and it's such a small, unassuming spot. The salt and pepper squid is also the best I've ever had. I cannot recommend this place enough“

“Holy smokes. The pho here is quite amazing. I never would expect that from a bar. I'm giving it the second best I've had. It's so good. Second time coming here during my work shift. Perfect for these cold rainy days. It's always piping hot with generous portions. So much flavor.

I cant wait to come back on my off day to experience everything this bar has to offer. Food, service, atmosphere, friendliness all 5/5“

“Alrighty, so today I tried out Jin Jin for the first time ever today after getting recommended them by my boss. From what I’ve heard they have amazing fried rice and food so I had to get some. I placed 2 separate takeout orders for their spam fried rice(my new favorite) and their Lapchong Chinese sausage fried rice. They packaged both of them beautifully in reusable Tupperware containers and the final garnish and look of my food was amazing. Taste wise, it was literally the best fried rice I’ve ever had and trust me I’ve eaten a lot of fried rice everywhere through the years, it wasn’t too oily and the taste of it was absolutely perfect! I could tell it was authentically cooked in a wok and seasoned by the hands of a chef who’s been cooking for a very long time and knows what they’re doing. They’re kind and very nice people who are really friendly and took care of my order and payment fast and smoothly.

The store interior is so welcoming and family friendly lookin; it’s just a classic small and aesthetically beautiful restaurant. I highly highly recommend this place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner for everyone to experience. 10/10 I will definitely be back for more :)“

“Just had my first visit here and it was so good. The vegan pork belly is something I would have never ordered, but so glad my daughter did because it was amazing!! I got the fried rice which was also really good, and had asked them to add broccoli. Most places just toss a couple pieces on top when you make this request, but Van Hanh put a ton of perfect bite sized broccoli all through my fried rice. Perfect, and much appreciated by this broccoli lover. We will definitely be back!“

“The food is very well prepared especially for special occasions. Beautiful room decor for events, meet the event creators request beyond expectations. All i can say is..”ALL OF THE GOODS, NONE OF THE BAD.”“

“Im honestly surprised this place only has 3.3 stars based off my experience today. I had never been here before, my husband & I usually go to the fork for the mexican food but our littles dont care for it. So I placed an online order for the orange chicken & rice. It was ready in 10 minutes, super hot, fresh & not only the best orange chicken we have all ever had, the portion was huge!!! We will absolutely be going back to this place“

“Wow, don’t you love unexpected gems you stumble upon? Hit up the grocery outlet on 121st & Division and typed in vegan near me. I found the best vegan bann mi I’ve had in Portland! Vietnamese iced coffee with coconut milk, tofu spring rolls, and a fried tofu bang mi for $15.58. Sweetest person working and a very cool location! Give them some love!!!“

“Living in Thailand, surprised to find authentic Lao/Thai dishes. Always happy to stop by and say “Hi” to Khun Kesone :-)“

“Fantastico!!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Ka Te, Portland's very best Asian restaurant! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I was especially impressed by the owner Eric, who was knowledgeable and passionate about the restaurant and the food they served.The food was absolutely amazing! I had the opportunity to try a variety of dishes and they were all incredibly delicious and authentic. The pho was especially good, and the broth was flavorful and just the right balance of spices. The spring rolls were also excellent, and the fish was cooked to perfection.I also had the chance to try the karaoke for the first time, and it was a great experience. Everyone was having a great time, and the atmosphere was very inviting.Overall, my experience at Ka Te was one of the best I've ever had. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect. I would highly recommend Ka Te to anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable Vietnamese experience.“

“This place is just a little hole in the wall but it's got everything you need! The pho is delicious! I'm a pho connoisseur and it is consistently flavorful everytime. The meat is cooked perfectly, especially the brisket and the broth is just right. It's kind of a divey joint but I like that. I can order a drink and play some slots while I wait for food. I always get the pho because that's what I crave but have tried the teriyaki chicken and it's delicious as well.“

“Very yummy 😋 they have a lot of different favor n very nice service“

“I been here twice had the turkey sandwich on slice bagel bread the 1st time and the 2nd time I had the tune on slice bagel bread and the mango tea. so far I love this place everything nice and clean and excellent customer service. I will be back.“

“Authentic, delicious, fresh, great portions, and the quality is phenomenal. The peanut sauce is absolutely delicious, as well as the salad rolls. The vermicelli bowl, also absolutely delicious. The only thing I wish, was that you offered the option to add extra sauce for both items as a side through delivery (I'd gladly pay). Thank you for exceeding my expectations! Will order again, and again.“

“Came and ordered the orange chicken and it was the best i have ever had! The owners, Andrew & Melanie were amazing and served me fast. I will be refering this cart to everyone i know that enjoys Asian fusion food!
