50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Portland

“Never disappoints. Great food, family atmosphere.“

“This is a top-notch Vietnamese restaurant the service is unbelievably great they took care of my every need or want the food was hot when they brought it to the table they were constantly just there to see if we needed anything else great job good atmosphere family orientated“

“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!“

“I've tried several other places around Portland for bahn mi, and while they've all been satisfying, these ones are legitimately the best I've had.

The ingredients are all so flavorful (I got the grilled lemongrass pork and the chili momi, highly recommend!) But they also fill the sandwiches very well. I was stuffed after having the Super Combo.

The staff were friendly, the food is delicious, service was quick, prices reasonable. I will absolutely be back!

FWIW, I went at 4pm on a Thursday. Traffic was getting heavy, but parking was plentiful. I would suffer the traffic for this place again.“

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

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

“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!“

“During quick trip Portland, Oregon, I had to get my Vietnamese food fix at Hanoi Kitchen The bun bo hue and banh cuon were excellent. Bun Bo Hue had a rich deep flavorful broth with pork blood and pork legs. The banh cuon was soft and delicious with fresh cha lua. 5/5 Stars would recommend! ⭐️“

“Great food, great atmosphere, friendly and superb service. Highly recommended!“

“Update 05/29/26
We came back in for early dinner/late lunch on a Friday and it was just as amazing as ever. This will have to be at least a twice a month Phở stop. I'm literally driving 30 minutes one way for this place. ❤️

Alright, I made this post last year and didn't elaborate or have pics AND, we just went back and now I have to go back and update other reviews I have left for the other Phở restaurants on the Westside.

Reason being, that I made a mistake. I won't name other Westside Phở restaurants in this review but I will be forced to go back and update my previous reviews/ratings.

Phở Nguyễn is actually the undisputed (at least in this family) BEST Phở restaurants on the Westside and they ABSOLUTELY have the best Phở broth. This is true whether you get the Beef OR the Chicken Phở.

Their service is also amazing and they have the best Chè Ba Màu (3-color) too. The crushed peanuts in that baby... (= Chef's 💋)

Best cà phê sữa đá from a Restaurant.“

“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.“

“We came in about an hour before close, they welcomed us in and let us pick our seats. We were attended to promptly and got our orders in. The chef came out to ask if I was aware of what I was ordering (beef pho with only tripe, since I love tripe and my kids also love it and always steal most of it from me). I kindly let him know we did know and appreciated him making sure we knew what we were ordering. They seemed quite delighted that my young children (7 and 10) were enjoying the tripe so much. Towards the end, my daughter tried a piece of jalapeño that I had added and had been sitting in the soup and had been diluted. She decided that it was not spicy and brazenly attempted to eat a slice of raw jalapeño that came with the pho as well and immediately regretted it. She was in tears and the server was so nice and offered her candies to help with the spice. When she noticed it wasn't helping while I was trying to pay, she got the chef and he came back and gave my daughter milk that helped a bunch. They did not even charge extra, though I did offer. As we were leaving, my daughter gratefully looked up at me and said "mama, they're so kind" with her teary eyes and a smile. We will 100% be back. Super tasty food at a good price but most importantly, such lovely staff members. I am beyond grateful to them for our experience tonight.“

“Just visited this place for the first time today. This is without a doubt the best banh mi I’ve had since visiting Saigon two years ago. If I could rate this 10/5 stars I would. High recommend anyone try the egg banh mi and add the pâté.“

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

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

“Beef stew egg noodle best bowl of noodle i ate in my entire life. Its beyond spectacular. Love the atmosphere, price, reminds me of pho van. This is my new spot in portland. Love their name so cool. The yoonique hand rolls comes with shrimp, beef, chicken, pork, noodle, veggies to roll it & dip in peanut or fish sauce, its delicious a lot of food worth $26. Tumeric noodle better than pho van, saigon bowl, & ha vl. More meat with egg.
Do not go to yoonique tea: sign is graffiti cant read, no parking, ghetto sex worker neighborhood, no change in teal so i got .45 in pennies, 60% ice for $7.55 drink, no duracado drink, a car thief was behind my car, inside store you look out one window & see hoarder broken furniture & trash. Im beyond upset: waste of time, nrg, $, gas & cant beleive its owned by same restaurant.“

“One of the best brunches in recent memory. Super flavorful and creative food, very reasonably priced for the huge portions. Shrimp omelet was fire - highly recommend, along with salted pandan matcha. Want to try everything else on this menu!“

“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!!!!“

“Love this place i buy everything they have every time i go in. The banh mi is the best in Portland and u can't beat the price. freshly made bread amazing flavor. Ate so many and ordered more to go. Can't forget the vietnamese coffee so good.“

“Such a hidden gem! The restaurant is clean, cozy, and the service is wonderful. The pho arrived piping hot with generous portions. The broth was light but packed with flavor. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Northern Vietnamese food“

“Every time I visit Bon Banh Mi, I receive excellent service. The menu offers a good variety of options, making it perfect for both breakfast and lunch. The quality is consistently high, the ingredients are fresh, and the portions are generous. Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“Had the yakisoba, the dumplings and the Kana moo Krob. Everything was full of flavor, well balanced, and filling. Plates were cleared and the staff was awesome. Honestly such a great place, would recommend for a low key date with good, quality food.“

“Wasn’t expecting such an amazing restaurant after thrifting with my mom, food was reasonably priced and everything tasted fresh, even the mozzarella weren’t greasy. Such a cute interior and atmosphere. Would absolutely eat here everyday if I could :)))“

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

“A favorite of mine in Portland! I can’t go too long without coming back. Their pho broth is out of this world, but I also highly recommend the dry pho and the pork rice noodle bowls. Everything is packed with flavor and consistently delicious.“

“Heard of this place thru friends and referral but did not get a chance to try their food until today. I’m very happy, impressed, and satisfied with the Special Sausage Egg Combo dish and Peach Tea drink this evening. Really love the generous portion in the box, the meat is so tender and so flavorful and the side veggie, pickle is so fresh. This dish is very common and can be found at any Vietnamese restaurant, but this place is definitely a step above. Recommended!“

“Love this place👌🏼exceptional Thai food😋“

“I had a fantastic experience here. The Vietnamese food was delicious (especially the peppery spring roll) but the service I received from Davey made it really outstanding. He curated a really well chosen wine flight & his wine and food recommendations were superb. He even took the time to wish me safe travels at the end of his shift. Grateful thanks to Davey & can 100% recommend to any wine & Asian food lovers!“

“Never disappoints. Great food, family atmosphere.“

“We came here for lunch, had a choice of two soups. I chose the one that made me feel like I was born anew. Let me explain here, my sinuses were so very happy to be finally freed. I could breathe again after crying my tears of joy if you could see me you would probably laugh. But it wouldn't stop me from repeating this experience, I saved all the leftovers for later to get fully healed. Needless to say, I will be back to try another soup and get cleaned up. Yes, I will.
PS I might have used more hot sauce then I had to, but I never looked back .“

“Super amazing time. I would recommend taco Tuesday and getting the fusion birria and Vietnamese tacos. Also the pork belly skewers. The mint peach cider and the #13 kosch is also good. The green beans and the shishito peppers were amazing starters and on the side of the meat.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I came here on the way home after being on a very, very cold bike ride. The food at this place really blew me away. The pho was excellent! The eggrolls were crispy and tasty. The service was attentive. I’ve driven by this place so many times in the last two years and I always thought I’ll try it someday well I’m glad I did. I will definitely be back. do yourself a favor go check this place out. You will not be disappointed.“

“The food is pretty good, but definitely a little less meat than some other places. Super authentic taste. The soup noodle dish they serve is what they’re best at. Service was top notch. Place is a little cramped and there is only two parking spots, one is for disabled parking so you may need to find street parking.“

“Excelente comida muy deliciosa delicioso todo buen servicio el dueño muy amable muy atento servicio rápido“

“I've been looking for a good restaurant serving Thai cuisine in the area but I haven't found too many that particularly impress me. However, CT Bistro in Cedar Mill seems like a good option with a delicious variety of both Vietnamese and Thai cuisine, served fresh and warm. I ordered the pad thai for lunch and received excellent service from a man who seemed to be owner of the eatery. I would like to come back if I am craving some Thai food around town.“

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

“Had some amazing sizzling beef 🥩 with a fresh steaming baguette 🥖
The beef is sweet and delicious 😋
The baguette is crunchy and soft on the inside!
Devoured all of it.

My brother and mother had the beef tacos 🌮 which were bomb 💣
The hot plate 🍽️ my mother loved with the veggies and eggs 🍳

10/10 would recommend both places. They also have a sushi 🍣 place here. And a cafe ☕️ and a wine 🍷 place. So it’s together a dope place!

A little hard to find a parking spot. But you’ll find one. Lots of places for bikes. 🚲“

“atmosphere, service is excellent. Food is wonderful.“

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

“I really enjoy Vietnamese food since I have already visited the country, but I've never tried brunch with Vietnamese flavors before! We found this place on social media, and it was easy to make a reservation. My husband and I decided to come for Sunday brunch, and we were blown away by how tasty the food was. I ordered Vietnamese iced coffee, which was excellent. I also had the pandan waffles with chicken—they were delicious. I just wish the waffle was a little softer and fluffier. We also tried Vietnamese beef and eggs, which were really good too! They served some fantastic mocktails as well. The service was great and very friendly. We wanted to try the coffee flight, but we were already full! We’ll definitely be back soon to try other dishes on the menu.“

“After visiting Vietnam a few months ago, I’d been craving a legit chicken banh mi and salted cream Vietnamese coffee. I found both here. The banh mi was great — crispy bread, great spice, fresh vegetables — it took me right back to the streets of Hoi An. The iced salted cream coffee was also on point too. Friendly staff, good vibe. I’ll be back.“

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

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

“Not sure why this place has only 4.2 stars? I consider myself somewhat of a pho connoisseur, and can tell you that this place serves GREAT pho. The broth is yummy and clean, the noodles have great integrity, and the meat was on point! Also had the salad rolls which were very good (as well as the peanut sauce). They also make their chili garlic sauce in house!“

“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 love this place. everything is delicious“
