50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Portland

“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 do, in fact, have killer ban mi! They also have huge portions for a reasonable price, and attentive and helpful staff that go above and beyond. Can’t recommend them enough! Their lemongrass pork bahn mi is absolute delicious and addictive.“

“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!“

“This pho spot was okay. The restaurant was clean, and the food overall was decent. We ordered pho and egg rolls—both were good, though the meat in the pho was a bit on the dry side, and the egg rolls were slightly overcooked. The broth had good flavor, and the service was friendly, making for a pleasant experience. They have limited parking on the back of the restaurant.“

“Delicious food and a very friendly atmosphere!“

“If im even close to this place when I. Doing my Uber Eats Deliveries this is where im comming to eat for Pho the Soup is so amazing with great flavor and doesn't have alot of oil like some places that covers up the flavor. I. Simple I get the brisket which is so tender with just the right amount of some fat . They give you so much noodles and meat. You need to really give this place a try you won't regret comming here“

“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)!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“Nice place to go for a later night snack. I ordered the crispy rolls and the chive cakes, yummy.
The service was excellent and the bartender was friendly and accommodating and made me a custom non-alcoholic beverage while I waited for my food:)“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Quickly becoming my goto joint for authentic and delicious banh mis!“

“Love this place👌🏼exceptional Thai food😋“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 tried Friendship Kitchen for the first time yesterday, and WOW I wish I tried it sooner! I tried the Shaken tofu and it was delicious! Crispy tofu with a delicious lemongrass marinate. My partner tried the wholesome plate which included a scrumptious egg roll. I definitely am planning to go back! Prices were pretty typical for the area ($17/entree), but it was a pretty generous portion. The restaurant is a walk up stand with some indoor seating and LOTS of outdoor seating in an area with lots of restaurants and bars. If you drink, Friendship Kitchen looks like they have great cocktails! I tried an N/A lychee lemonade that was a great balance of sweet and tart. Updated from previous review on 2025-05-07“

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

“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!“

“Never disappoints. Great food, family atmosphere.“

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

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

“Some of the best food in Portland! I love this place so much. Delicious fresh rolls, the vegan chickn drumsticks are to die for, and I love the crepe and wonton soup! Very filling and flavorful food, and the chef is so sweet. Highly recommend!

Dietary restrictions: I’m a pescatarian and they have loads of options!“

“I got airsickness post a long flight, so sick even water was hard for me for a while. This place's Phó Ga (chicken) is literally medicine for the soul, stomach and tastebuds. I cannot recommend them highly enough! p.s. uber eats does 50% off deals sometimes and you can get 2 "orders" (almost 4 meals worth) of phó delivered for under $40 including tip if youre on the vicinity and the quality is unparalleled to places I've been to in NY.“

“Amazing food anytime, but especially when it’s too hot to cook. Incredible value. All of this was $23.“

“The matcha tonic with pandan and lime was incredible. The bowl was extremely umami with the fish sauce gravy and mushrooms and very fresh. I also tried the pandan waffle and it’s among the best waffles I’ve had. They use rice flour dough in the batter so it’s very chewy, like mochi.

Would recommend dining in because the textures won’t hold up as well for takeout and you won’t have the same experience. Staff is super friendly and welcoming.“

“Here’s the real deal from a former woman who is learning the hard way how to overtly and ethically weaponize abuse against her abusers, to educate them about safety. A former woman who’s seen and experienced a lot of non-consensual covert abuse, is still standing, and enjoying bars:

I’m all about a world where people can show up exactly as they are, feel seen, appreciated, heard, helped, included, protected, because they deserve it. This was my experience at Grandma’s Secret. This is the kind of place I imagine my version of my grandma from Romania would’ve run, had she not faced a lifetime of limitations, oppression, and systemic abuse, and had she been fortunate to receive all the adequate help she needed from knowledgeable, prepared allies. Grandma’s secret radiates a free, unbreakable spirit, full of strength, kindness, and support for those who value empowerment over oppression, connection over control.

To all the women who’ve been through it, are fighting it, and to the allies who get it—in my opinion, this bar has created a safe haven for women and the allies who stand beside them, and it has been made possible by women who genuinely care. This place deserves to be supported, promoted, and fought for.

It’s a night out, yes, but it’s also a place to breathe, be yourself, connect with those who really get you, and be supported by a team of high-EQ, high-inclusivity, world-class women, who know what it means to make you feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. Walk through the doors, and you’ll feel it instantly: every interaction is real, every smile is there to encourage you to be yourself, every laughter is there to uplift you, every word is there to elevate you, and there’s a vibe here that makes you want to stay all night—and drink creative flavored margaritas, in my case.

To me, Grandma’s Secret is a vibe, a movement, a home base for anyone who’s all about inclusivity, empowerment, safety, and fun, that I am anxiously looking for more of this in Portland.“

“Great customer service. And the food was delicious.“

“This place is amazing. They were so super friendly, and knowledgeable about allergies and substitutions. Me and my boyfriend both have allergies. They were able to tell us which items were gluten free and onion free, and gave us an extra sauce with our shrimp rolls so we could both try them.

Everything was so fresh and so delicious. And it doesn't break the back! We will definitely be coming back here.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Ka Te, Portland's very best Asian restaurant! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I was especially impressed by the owner Eric, who was knowledgeable and passionate about the restaurant and the food they served.The food was absolutely amazing! I had the opportunity to try a variety of dishes and they were all incredibly delicious and authentic. The pho was especially good, and the broth was flavorful and just the right balance of spices. The spring rolls were also excellent, and the fish was cooked to perfection.I also had the chance to try the karaoke for the first time, and it was a great experience. Everyone was having a great time, and the atmosphere was very inviting.Overall, my experience at Ka Te was one of the best I've ever had. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect. I would highly recommend Ka Te to anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable Vietnamese experience.“

“Fantastico!!“

“Always such a wonderful experience! Great food and atmosphere, and they have comedy night which is so much fun!“

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. Excellent food, melts in my mouth. Bursts with flavor! The service is wonderful. But the food!!! Oh My!!! And no MSG. My favorite restaurant!!! If you have not tried them, you are missing out.“

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

“Never disappoints. Great food, family atmosphere.“

“came here right before it close. but the service still very welcome. the waiter doesn't seem to might about providing service. I ate mi quang, too hungry for taking pictures but definitely recommended.“

“The ube coffee was SOOOO tasty!! I paired it with the ube waffle and oyster mushrooms. The waffle was light and fluffy with just enough sweetness from the ube flavoring. The oyster mushrooms were tasty but I think the fryer oil might need to be changed. Overall though, a lovely place with a tasty menu. Would definitely go back!“

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

“I came with two other people one person had only tried Vietnamese food before with my dad and I. It seemed most people did TO-GO.

Orders when translated to English on the menu above it was called beef stew.

Here’s the receipt names COM GA XOI MO
Hu tieu Bo kho and Com Suon Bi Cha.

It was very flavorful and my soup was huge so I took some to go. It was great cuts of beef. My dad at all his and loved it. Really great amazing food!! My allergies are wheat gluten dairy and soy they are very accommodating.“

“The rice combo is very tasty, especially with the addition of the homemade sate (Vietnamese spicy sauce). Our server, An, was very nice, friendly, and helpful. I suggest the restaurant consider using brighter colors to create a better atmosphere and make the space more attractive. Recommended — and best of luck with your business! ;)“

“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.“

“Wow!!! How did we miss this amazing restaurant for FIFTEEN YEARS? ? Last night while searching for Thai food we decided to try C T Bistro. We ordered our usual Thai favorites and we were delighted. This is the best Thai food we have ever had. I’m not going to able to forget about this incredible restaurant and the people the own it. Many thanks and we’ll see you soon.“
