Very underwhelming. The Pho lacked depth, and the sprouts, jalepeños and basil came wrapped in a baggie. A baggie?The atmosphere is very shabby. If you don’t want a beer or seltzer there is a tepid pot of water and a paper cup for you. No ice. There is no service to speak of, and you must bus your own dishes.

Usually I like Lela's but I recently ordered from them and was super disappointed. This cost almost $20 and was half full with about 4-5 pieces of chicken. This chicken curry was mainly broth and wasn't a lot of food at all. I was super disappointed with this email. This was not worth the price at all. Lela's, please do better.

My new favorite Vietnamese place in Portland. We got the pork belly noodle bowl and beef banh mi with pho broth on the side. Everything tasted so fresh and was perfectly put together. Good balance of ingredients and amazing flavor. We also received the best customer service I've personally had in years. Thank you Quinn for the recommendations and tea refills! Atmosphere was great as well. We sat at a table out front, got sun on the skin while eating delicious food and people watching. I will definitely be back.

Excellent place for lunch. Tasty food, well-prepared and quickly served. I had the chicken currey and it was perhaps a touch sweeter than it needed to be, but (fortunately) not too spicy and quite delicious. I will absolutely return again.

We love dog friendly patios! The egg rolls and salad rolls were really good! I always find getting 3 rolls is awkward when it's just two, though. I also wasn't a huge fan of their nước mắm. The subs were delicious! I liked the amount of veggies, I wish it had been stuffed with more protein, though. I got the vegan pho option and liked it more than the regular that my partner had, especially when dipping the bánh mì. The regular one was a bit sweet.

I went here many moons ago and it was so yummy! I did take out and man alive it was horrible! The amount of money you are paying for what you get is insane. Fair enough. No biggie. Now on to the food. The broth is so bland it tasted like they put a chicken broth cube into a bowl of hot water! The garnish they provide was nothing. Only two jalapeños! I also ordered spring rolls and ick! Lumpy lumps. The peanuts sauce didn't even taste right. Save your money and hit Mekka. That is officially the best pho in the city. Oh also they don't separate the protein out so the chicken was chewy. Ick!
SOOOO delicious! Unforgettable clean simple delicious food. Standard yummy drink options. Good service, very quick. Homey interior.

What better way to finish our culinary adventure then to refuel with a bowl of steaming hot Pho! Lela's was located off 23rd and it felt like we were stepping into someone's home converted into an eatery. Although there was a line of people squeezing in the door, everyone had a table to eat at and service was great. Warm, fresh, savory and delicious. We absolutely loved it! Can't you just smell the broth?!

As a viet person I'm very hesitant in eating at a viet restaurant due to 1) pricing and 2) taste and I can gladly say even though it was a little pricey the food was . My kids annihilated the springrolls and Vermecilli and the banh mi tofu was scrumptious! Regardless I can say this is a legit viet restaurant to eat at
Best vietnamese food around, far and away!
