What a delightful experience! The fresh broth for the pho soup was wonderful, and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. The service was super friendly, which made the visit even better. While the prices are a bit higher than some other places, I think it's worth it for the overall quality. Overall, a lovely spot!

For some reason, most Bun Bo Hue in the area are on the sweet side. Not so here. It's one of the much more tasty places. Ample amounts of meat is a plus. The pho is good, with tendons, tripe, and things that some Portland places don't offer because of their clientele. The only bad is that the veggies they give you for the soup noodles are small, tiny even, and they charge you $2.50 if you ask for more.

Best Pho in the area that I've found. Quality meats, delicious consomme, and a variety of soups that are fantastic. Spring and egg rolls are a must try. Especially the spring rolls. Good shrimp and pork in those and the peanut sauce is spectacular. Haven't actually eaten in here, as Pho Gabo is a go to when my partner or I aren't feeling great, so we stop in for pickup or get it delivered. The inside is nice, with a splash of color, and I've never actually heard it be loud in here. Class act clientele and staff, really.

Food is delicious! I love the pho and the summer rolls, but I'm definitely going back to try other dishes.

food was great, very authentic
I’ve been a fan of this spot for a while, and I just had another great experience that reminded me why I keep coming back. My go-to is the lemongrass chicken sandwich, but I noticed it wasn’t listed on the menu anymore. I called to ask, and the woman I spoke with was incredibly kind and helpful. She let me know that I could still get my favorite sandwich by selecting another one and leaving a note on the online order.
That kind of customer service means a lot. It’s clear they care about their customers and are willing to go the extra mile. On top of that, the food is consistently fresh and absolutely delicious.
I love supporting local businesses like this, and I’m always happy with my meals.
Five stars—thank you for your kindness and for keeping that amazing flavor coming!

Great pho!
I used to really like this place — both the service and the food were great in the past. But today’s lunch was a huge letdown. Even though the restaurant was nearly empty, I still had to wait over 20 minutes for my food. When it finally arrived, the server didn’t say a single word — no greeting, no explanation, nothing. On top of that, the food didn’t taste the same anymore. I’m guessing it’s under new management or something, but whatever the reason, I won’t be coming back.

This restaurant is run by the most amazing people, always very friendly and welcoming, the food is amazing every time I come! I order for pick up sometimes and it’s always ready as soon as I walk in the door (10-15 minutes) truly love this place for its yummy food, great service, and the cozy vibes.

Was my go to spot when it first opened.
Had to ask for straws and sauce dishes multiple times.
When we got our appetizers, we didn’t receive any plates. We asked if we can get some plates so we can share the food. They asked how many.. usually servers will give you plates based on how many people you have. That caught me off guard.
We ordered pho, but spoons were missing. Would be easier if they had utensils and napkins on the table like every other pho restaurants.
One of our waters spilled, no one offered us napkins or a new glass of water. Didn’t even bother asking at that point.
Food was just fine, service needs some work. Felt like we had to ask for common sense things over and over.
Probably won’t come back.

I've been a regular online ordering customer of this restaurant, enjoying the pho special for over a year. The broth was consistently excellent, ranking among one of the best in the Beaverton area for me. However, I've noticed that the broth has become watered down lately, lacking the rich flavor it once had—almost reminiscent of a prepackaged Vietnamese pho from the grocery store. Unfortunately, I may have to consider ordering my pho from a different restaurant moving forward.

Food tastes great and comes in decent portions. Friendly service and hassle-free. The only downside is the lack of AC. Still ok to sit inside with the fans if you've lived in or been to places where AC is not the norm.

We used to come here often when the restaurant first opened. During the opening period, they even offered complimentary pudding, and the place was always lively and bustling. However, there was one female server who was consistently rude and unpleasant, which left a bad impression. The final straw for us was the disappointing takeout experience. The portion size was much smaller than when dining in, which made us feel cheated. After that, we didn’t return for years.
Recently, we decided to give this place another try after a very long time. We ordered the Pork Vermicelli Bowl and the Pho Gabo Special. The vermicelli had well-seasoned meat, and overall, it was slightly better than the average vermicelli dishes we’ve tried at other Vietnamese restaurants.

We wanted to go to Noodle World but were disappointed to find it had closed. Feeling deflated, we came back here instead. This time, we had the Brisket Pho and the Beef Stew Noodle. The beef stew reminded me of my favorite at Pho Nguyen, where the soup is rich and flavorful, the meat is tender, and both the beef and the large chunks of potato are generously served, giving it a hearty, rustic feel. This version was good as well, with a similar broth, but the meat wasn’t as tender, and unfortunately, it didn’t include any potatoes.
Overall, the food here is still quite enjoyable, and we were glad to revisit it after all these years.😊✨
