Absolutely incredible Pho. I was very pleasantly surprised after seeing some of the other reviews. We had a wonderful experience and loved loved loved the Pho!

The good. First and most importantly, the Pho. The broth is freshly made, hot, flavorful and plentiful. The sheets of beef cooked as expected in the broth, as the noodles softened. Ample amount of meat, bean sprouts, non-Thai Basel, jalapeño slices, and lime. The not as good. The broth was a little greasy. The bowl was a little light on noodles, the to-go container is a bit small and the table was light on napkins, because putting the Togo food in a container was messy. The lady at the counter was super nice, and very attentive of her customers. I thought the restaurant was decorated brightly. The place was clean and well maintained.

My family's favorite pho in town, and we find it comparable to the best we had in Vietnam. Yes, it has more fat in it than most places, and that's not a flaw. The flavor is great and portions are huge. This place deserves more love.

We came here looking for Pho, and this place is perfect! This restaurant does one thing, and one thing exceptionally well and that is Pho. They have about 50 varieties of Pho meats to go into your soup, but it is truly a focus on Pho. The soup is incredibly flavorful, stuffed with meat, noodles, green onions, and sprouts. I would have like more spice, but I tend to like spicy, and this was lighter. But that can be fixed with more sriracha! The meat was tender, broth full flavored, and there was so much of the soup, I even overfilled my take home container lol. The restaurant is small, but we did not have to wait when we came in around lunch. Food came out quickly, and our service was great, she wasn't chatty, but I didn't need that. Vietnamese music videos were being played inside, the decoration was bright and verdant, and the space was clean and lovely. You do have to pay for a take home container .50 cents and if you do not eat a lot then the container cannot hold your leftovers, but is that a complaint or a statement as to how much food they give you?! Great Pho, we will be back.

This was my first time eating here. I got my order to go and when I got home I reheated my broth and I noticed it was bubbling like frying oil. I had to try it to make sure there was broth in it. It was so oily, salty, and did not have the flavor that I’m used to. I was really disappointed because I don’t get to eat pho as often as I would like and I didn’t get a chance to enjoy it.

First off Pho is good and delicious here just the customer service sucks bad! I come here all the time and it's one of our favorite pho spots here in Portland. The flavor is good and it's definitely a different taste compared to all the other pho spots because this one is southern pho. Every time I come here the old man doesn't acknowledge or say hi which is ok not a big deal because most Asians are like that. My problem is when my pho noodle soup is served to me NOT hot and I ask him to take it back to reheat it and he makes a comment saying it's already hot! I am the customer and I been here many times that my soup has not been served hot sometimes and they have to speak in Vietnamese and make a comment. My bf is Vietnamese so he knows what they are saying. When I came today to eat the two lady that was always customer saying that there soup wasn't hot either and I told them to say something but they didn't want to. I know if I'm paying for food I want my soup hot and I want to be happy and going home satisfied not going home feeling I ate cold soup and unhappy. To the old Vietnamese guy that always works here why don't you just do what the customer ask? It's not that hard. He is already rude and doesn't say hi or acknowledge us. They need to take a customer service class to learn how to run a restaurant business because there CUSTOMER SERVICE is really BAD. I know most an Asian owner would say just don't come here if our service is bad but have you as an owner ever thought about showing that you care and want to provide good customer service so you have regulars supporting your business? Please to the owners work on your CUSTOMER SERVICE skills and ACKNOWLEDGE your customers! SMILE for once!

I got the pho tai nam which was delicious. Came with lots of fresh condiments including beansprouts, basil jalapeño and lime. My only gripe is the only hot sauce or what not was Siracha. Chili Oil is superior in pho ?Parking: Lots of free on site parking

First time eating here. The only dish in the menu was a variety of pho depending on the type of protein you want in it. Price varied upon the number of protein you wanted like raw beef, fully cooked beef , fatty brisket, tripe or beef meatballs. Service was fast but server wasn't very observant if you needed more water or what not. Broth was ok but not extraordinary. I would say this was average but not bad.

$19 for a bowl of lackluster pho.... Don't recommend at all. And the owner charged us for a to go cup that we didn't even ask for. We just wanted an extra bowl
Incredibly favorable broth and they offer a massive number of
