50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Lake Oswego

“We had our first visit to Pho PT in Lake Oswego, and it definitely won’t be our last! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and comforting. Perfect timing too, now that the weather has started to cool down!
What really made our experience extra special was the service. Andy was the friendliest and most pleasant server we've had in a long time. He made us feel so welcome and taken care of—it truly added to the whole experience.
This place is a gem, and we’re so happy we found it. Can’t wait to come back and make it one of our regular spots!“

“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.“

“the homemade momos here are delightful! the lemongrass pork banh mi was also delicious, but the stars of the show were the momos. their chai tea is legitimate, as well! the owner was really kind and gracious and he made this a wonderful dining experience.“

“The owner is super nice and friendly. I love the decorations. Very warm and inviting. Feels like you are in HaNoi. Food is authentic. Good place to go to for special occasion or hang out with friends.“

“They limit the daily selections to 2 or 3 items, plus available appetizers etc. What they do make is just simply the best pho I ever recall having. The owners are always there and are the most welcoming hosts imaginable. 110% Satisfied!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“A Hidden Gem: The Bò Kho (Beef Stew) is a Must-Try Masterpiece
​I came here specifically looking for beef stew and was absolutely blown away. Phở Nguyên is a true family-run hidden gem that serves a dish of exceptional quality.
​The Dish (Bò Kho - Beef Stew):
I ordered the Bò Kho with Mì (egg noodles). The meat was, without exaggeration, the most tender I have ever had in a restaurant. This quality was exceeded only by the sheer quantity; there were at least six huge, incredibly tender chunks, easily eight to twelve ounces total. It was clearly a high-quality cut, either beef shank or brisket, braised to beyond perfection. It was so soft it simply fell apart, exhibiting a mastery of slow-cooking.
​The technical execution extended to every component, which is so hard to achieve in a stew. The carrot was bright orange, firm yet tender, and maintained its powerful, distinct carrot flavor-a sign of perfect timing, as it never absorbed the beef flavor. Likewise, the potato was flawlessly cooked; firm enough not to be mushy, yet soft. This incredible balance demonstrates true culinary mastery.
​The Experience:
The care and tradition here are obvious. I initially sat toward the back and noticed a slight cleaning scent (I am extremely sensitive to chemical smells, so others may not notice it). The staff was extremely accommodating when I asked to move seats, and the issue was completely forgotten and masked by the incredible aroma of the Bò Kho when it arrived. The service was warm, provided by family members who clearly take pride in their work.
​If you are looking for authentic, unforgettable Vietnamese cuisine, this place is essential. The Bò Kho is a transformative meal.

“I’ve been looking for a Pho spot since I moved home (7 years now) and finally found my go to place. Seriously the best Pho!! No need to search anymore. Thank you, Vina Deli!“

“Great pho with better than most cuts of meat. My wife got the pad thai and said she enjoyed it very much. Would recommend to friends. They were also very nice to my 2.5 year old daughter and were considerate enough to bring a small bowl for her to share some of our food with.“

“5 stars!!!! We Love our Pho! (Thom) means "smells good" And that is a fact! When you walk in the door of this family restaurant you can tell it's different. Jimmy Le is a culinary master. He is a second generation business owner/chef. His pho is the best I have ever had and it's because of their secret family recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. We have been friends since Highschool and me and the basketball players would always go to his Mom and Dads pho shop after a basketball game. It's so healing and just makes you feel good like you're giving your body exactly what it needs to repair itself. Jimmy is also a talented artist, as you sit in his small space each piece of pottery, tea cups, bowls, and urban art are so tastefully place and cultivated from local artists. His mission is to build the business of this new pho shop on Alberta and take care of his mom and dad who are reaching retirement. His family honor is incredibly inspiring and I want to support him reach his goal. Everyone has got to come and experience this family's flavor, they really have something special, it's all about high quality food. There is no question it is top tier. Jimmy is a true outlier and everyone please come with your family to taste the flavor of his family's legacy! We will see you soon Jimmy!“

“In my opinion the best place around! Love the food and the staff. Used to visit with wife and 4 daughters... treated like family“

“Never disappoints. Great food, family atmosphere.“

“I LOVE this restaurant and have eaten there many times. The food and service is fantastic!“

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

“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.“

“Wonderful spot for a late night bite! Came here with a friend after being out seeing music, we got bah mi to eat in and then I also got a vegetable and rice dish to take home. We're both vegetarian; there's a decent selection and what we had was all super delicious. The sweet potato fries that come with the sandwich were some of the best I've ever had (and I'm picky about my sweet potato fries).

Service was friendly, prompt, and accommodating. Environment is nice but still comfortable and casual enough to be at ease. There's 4 TVs playing different things, felt a bit brain rot over stimulation-u, but they were all muted so it wasn't intrusive.

Great place!“

“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!!!!“

“been going here for years. The family that own the restaurant are the nicest people!“

“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)!“

“The Vietnamese coffee is so good and their salad rolls with shrimp were delicious 🤤“

“Great service especially Adrick! Love the spiked coffee (Vietnamese coffee with a kick) the salad rolls (goi cuon) are the best in Portland! Also love the combo vermicelli bowl. Love the atmosphere been coming here since they opened. My Favorite Vietnamese Restaurant in town!“

“My favorite place to get pho lunch downtown Portland, they also have the best salad rolls.“

“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!“

“Friendship Kitchen is an east Portland gem. We've tried several of their dishes, but our favorites are the vegetarian pho and the tofu bánh xèo. The flavors are wonderful, so many delicious fresh herbs, and everything is consistently great quality. They have a lovely outdoor seating area that's nice all year.“

“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!“

“Love this place👌🏼exceptional Thai food😋“

“I got the veggie pho for takeout and it was fantastic. The portion was very large (turned it into 2 meals) and the flavor is oh so good. They made my order super fast and were very friendly when I arrived for pickup. Highly recommend this place.“

“Okay here’s an in depth review. I walk in front of the restaurant. It’s so beautifully decorated with plants and looks very charming and welcoming on the exterior. I walk in. My nose is hit with the delicious aroma of comforting Vietnamese food. “Hello customer!” Says the wonderful girl at the ordering station. “What are you looking to eat on this magnificent day my friend?” I tell her I’m not sure, she proceeds to show me their menu with all the delicious foods. I cant even decide because I want them all!!! After thinking for a bit I decide on the Vietnamese pho. And one of their hand crafted drinks. The kind young employee guides me to my seat. I look around at all the beautiful decorations— it feels like I’m transported straight to Vietnam. I help myself to a refreshing free cup of lemon water. About ten minutes after ordering my meal comes. Not only did I receive a very generous portion of pho, it came with lots of sides to pick from, and even a hand cut lime. I devour the pho. The beautful and kind employee takes my dirty dishes and gives me a warm smile. As I’m leaving the whole crew of cooks and employees say “Goodbye my friend! We are so happy we could nourish your soul and stomach!” I almost have tears in my eyes. No name pho felt like my own home. The food was affordable and made me feel comforted and safe. And the workers made me feel like royalty. Thank you all.“

“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.“

“The food is Phenomenal (Taste the LOVE & Care put into this food! ) The Service is exactly what you should expect at a restaurant like this and I think better service than most in Portland in 2025. The atmosphere is also what I expect for now.
The Price is unbeatable for what you get. This place is going to be #1 for it's category of food. Danh's will only be going up in the world with the High quality and consistency of this amazing food. Thank you Danh's for the Life's work and Love put into the food I truly appreciate the experience and will be there at least once every time I'm in Portland. Any Chef in Portland would be proud to serve this food.
P.S. Anyone that puts less than 5 stars for the food is not worthy of reading their review.“

“Wow! An honest-to-goodness, delicious, healthy, authentic, home-cooked Vietnamese meal! Delightful! You will not leave hungry! The chef has a wonderful palette, she and her husband, proprietors, are lovely people! The dining experience is cozy, warm, comfortable, very pleasant! The non-alcoholic drinks menu expansive and excellent! I had the best avocado smoothie I've ever had! I'm making dining at Pho Hathanh a regular habit :)“

“I have had a lot of pho throughout my life and I can honestly say this is probably some of the tastiest and yummiest pho I have ever had! The staff here is absolutely fantastic and so kind and attentive you won't have to worry about grabbing their attention because the kitchen is in open view which makes for a fun and romantic ambiance! This place is one of my new go to restaurants and I will absolutely be recommending this place to all my friends! The price and serving size is absolutely perfect although I wish they added a bit more meat it is still plenty where I'm full for the rest of the day! In summary I absolutely love this place!“

“It's been getting really cold here in Beaverton and I decided to try pho for the first time. I tried the combo beef pho here was amazing! I have some allergies with MSG, so here in BEP there is no MSG in the food. My experience there was really good. With great employees and great service, I could tell that there were intention and care put into this place. Will be coming back soon.“

“We did not try the Pho, but what we ordered was legit. Bo Kho, thit Kho, and their fish sauce wings are excellent. Like mom's cooking and close to home taste.“

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

“I will miss their food in Austin! Glad that I visited one more time before I moved.“

“Great food. I tried number 43 honey lemongrass chicken rice entrée for my first visit, and it was well seasoned. The portion size was adequate for the price I paid. Our waitress did not return after taking our order, which was unfortunate because my group of three ran out of water near the end of our meal. Given the opportunity, I would return.“

“Delicious Beef Pho with delicious tendon, tripe and steak. Also had beef salad rolls with *super fresh* mint, basil cilantro. And a chicken, shrimp, rice and vegetable dish that was excellent.

Lovely atmosphere. Only minus is stacks of recycled boxes and takeout-ware in the dining room.

Will be back very soon!!👍👍👍

Super great service.“

“My family all meet at Pho Oregon in Beaverton for dinner tonight, and since it was Our first time here at this restaurant and we were all super hungry so the time was perfect. Our table ordered a variety and everyone loved what they ordered. I had the Beef Stew with French Bread it was so good and with it starting to rain out when we got there it ended up being perfect. Pho was ordered, as well as a Crispy Seafood Noodle dish that both my Son and husband had. They both loved it! Such a variety and hits the stop just right!“

“I have been eyeballing this place for some time & was not disappointed! 👌“

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

“I ordered the shrimp omelet, and it had a unique Vietnamese twist- something I’ve never tried before. The flavor combination was so special and surprisingly delightful.
I highly recommend this dish, especially with their signature ginger sauce. So comforting and flavorful. 🦐🍳

Paired with a warm cup of coffee, it was the kind of brunch that quietly makes your day better.“

“I love this place. everything is delicious“

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

“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!“

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

“Never disappoints. Great food, family atmosphere.“

“Wonderfully tasty food! Was visiting Portland and just happened to stop in after shopping. The wife and i loved our meals!“
