Understaffed. Slow. Mid.

The service was terrible. I ordered food there for pickup. The website said pickup will be ready at 6:10. I arrived and the staff was uncommunicative and purposeless. Needed to check what i ordered and what my name was and I had to show them my phone to see my order confirmation. Then told me it would be another 10 minutes. So I was fine with that. I went back to the counter at 6:30 and asked if my order was ready. She said “another 10 minutes”. Waiting there by the door another customer walks in, the gal asks their name and she immediately hands them their ready to go bag and they walk out. So at 6:40 I go back to the counter and it’s ready and I tried to explain to them that the website said my order would be ready for pickup at 6:10! The gal said she “understands” and that it was “a busy night”. (The place was half empty). Then she and her co-worker turned around and went back to looking at their order screen ignoring me. Terrible service, I will never spend another penny at that place. Show some respect for your paying customers! Food was just ok. Here’s some advice: don’t tell the customer on your ordering website when it’s going to be ready for pickup if it actually takes 30 minutes longer than that.

Food and drinks were fine, I enjoyed my boba coffee. Place is very dirty. The floors look unclean and tables are sticky. Looks like they are understaffed and not able to take care of customers. Might be a place to get takeout from but would never come back here.

Food was mid. Pho broth could use more flavor and the beef was tough.

There is no server. You order through an app and have to get your own water, silverware, sauce

Food took a surprisedly long time. Waited around 20 min for Phi

This place was messy, slow, and the food was…not great. I ate lunch in the restaurant... banh mi with fried chicken and Cajun fries. The fries were served cold and the sandwich came 15 minutes later. The sandwich was smothered in mayonnaise, the chicken was tough and chewy, and there were minimal fresh veggies.

I ordered beef Pho, to-go for dinner that night. Broth was extremely salty, the beef slices were so tough you couldn’t chew them. There were a few bean sprouts and sad basil leaves with the noodles to use with the broth.

They food was very flavorful, the combination s and ability to customize your food was good. The portions were adequate. The atmosphere was a bit clinical, you are supposed to order and pay at a kiosk and it feels overwhelming not being familiar with the food. Overall it was a good experience.

Lúa is my go-to Vietnamese spot in
NE Portland! Everything on the menu is amazing, but the hand rolls are unbeatable — so fresh and full of flavor. Great vibes, super friendly staff, and consistently delicious food.Highly recommended!

We had a delicious, relaxing dinner last night before seeing a play at Portland Playhouse. We both had rice-noodle entrees, one with shrimp, the other with chicken. Both were delicious and fresh. I had a coconut-kumquat drink, my partner had a passionfruit juice. Both were tasty, refreshing, and interesting (in a good way). Ordering was a bit confusing, because the laminated menus did not exactly match the categories on the iPad kiosk, but we figured it out.
The high-ceilinged open space is easy on the eyes.

Absolute neighborhood gem! The food is incredible and sometimes it feels like it’s still undiscovered. There should be a line out the door. I just went to a pot luck party and my day got away from me and I just ordered 4 Banh mi sandwiches (cut in half still huge!!) and brought that and every single person raved and asked me where on earth I got these and what were they?? And I let them know they all live like a block away! Pretty sure I made some new converts ❤️❤️❤️ love you guys!!

We dropped by for phở today and our phở were so good. The beef was excellent but the broth was too greasy. Extra point for the authentic noodle (bánh phở). In terms of service, we expected a faster serving for pho in stead of waiting about 20 mins to get served. Another inconvenient thing is your have to get to the counter to serve the condiment yourself in tiny plastic cups. Overall, the food is good but you should expect it like a food court so you would be happy. There is only one staff taking order, making drinks, serving and cleaning so dont expect any communication
