“Wow. This place has such a homely vibe
Best place to eat if you are under the weather.
Plus they have vegetarian options.
Atmosphere is humble, and that's a good thing. Sometimes you need to be at a place like this that is cozy and comfortable on a Thursday afternoon. Oh yeah one thing to note that the service is very slow.
I ordered vegetarian Pho
My wife ordered Vegetarian Tom yum soup small and we are feeling so much better now.“

“A Hidden Gem: The Bò Kho (Beef Stew) is a Must-Try Masterpiece
I came here specifically looking for beef stew and was absolutely blown away. Phở Nguyên is a true family-run hidden gem that serves a dish of exceptional quality.
The Dish (Bò Kho - Beef Stew):
I ordered the Bò Kho with Mì (egg noodles). The meat was, without exaggeration, the most tender I have ever had in a restaurant. This quality was exceeded only by the sheer quantity; there were at least six huge, incredibly tender chunks, easily eight to twelve ounces total. It was clearly a high-quality cut, either beef shank or brisket, braised to beyond perfection. It was so soft it simply fell apart, exhibiting a mastery of slow-cooking.
The technical execution extended to every component, which is so hard to achieve in a stew. The carrot was bright orange, firm yet tender, and maintained its powerful, distinct carrot flavor-a sign of perfect timing, as it never absorbed the beef flavor. Likewise, the potato was flawlessly cooked; firm enough not to be mushy, yet soft. This incredible balance demonstrates true culinary mastery.
The Experience:
The care and tradition here are obvious. I initially sat toward the back and noticed a slight cleaning scent (I am extremely sensitive to chemical smells, so others may not notice it). The staff was extremely accommodating when I asked to move seats, and the issue was completely forgotten and masked by the incredible aroma of the Bò Kho when it arrived. The service was warm, provided by family members who clearly take pride in their work.
If you are looking for authentic, unforgettable Vietnamese cuisine, this place is essential. The Bò Kho is a transformative meal.

“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.“

“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!“

“Friendship Kitchen is an east Portland gem. We've tried several of their dishes, but our favorites are the vegetarian pho and the tofu bánh xèo. The flavors are wonderful, so many delicious fresh herbs, and everything is consistently great quality. They have a lovely outdoor seating area that's nice all year.“

“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.“

“My daughter loved her brisket Pho - but for me the star was the lamb curry. Generous amounts of tender lamb with an outstanding semi-spicy broth. It was so good I saved the remaining broth for home and used it as a base for another delicious meal 😁 Very worth a stop!“

Delicious Thai Food? Check.
Little bit of American? Sure!
This place has it all. The owner, Kent, is very friendly and welcoming. If you have to wait a little bit to be seated, to get your order taken, please be patient; it comes with the territory of having a slight skeleton crew, but the wait will be worth it I promise. The to-go orders speak for themselves. Waves and waves of people come in. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!“

“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.“

“We had our first visit to Pho PT in Lake Oswego, and it definitely won’t be our last! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and comforting. Perfect timing too, now that the weather has started to cool down!
What really made our experience extra special was the service. Andy was the friendliest and most pleasant server we've had in a long time. He made us feel so welcome and taken care of—it truly added to the whole experience.
This place is a gem, and we’re so happy we found it. Can’t wait to come back and make it one of our regular spots!“

“Very tasty food at a hole-in-the wall restaurant! I would highly recommend their BBQ chicken vermicelli bowl and found the flavor profile to be highly satisfying and authentic. Overall, they offer an extensive Vietnamese menu, prices may be a bit on the higher side but it's worth what you get. The place is pretty clean with interesting decor, and service is efficient and not disruptive. Definitely recommendable.“

“We’ve been coming to Pho Nam in Progress Ridge for years, and it’s always a wonderful experience. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and authentic—truly some of the best Vietnamese cuisine around.
The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the service is always kind, attentive, and warm. It’s also very family-friendly, which makes it one of our go-to spots with kids. Each of my children has their own favorite dish here, and we’ve never been disappointed.
We especially love the convenient location in Progress Ridge—it’s easy to get to, with plenty of nearby shops and parking. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick lunch or enjoying dinner with friends and family, this place is a gem.
If you’re looking for delicious Vietnamese food served with genuine hospitality, Phon Nam is absolutely worth a visit!“

“Pho is one of those comfort foods that taste best when it's cold outsid. This place felt clean and bright, and was a little busy during the lunch rush hour. I ordered chicken pho and it was good but not especially notable. At $16 for the meal, it felt a little on the expensive side but it seems like every place does that now.“

“Love this place really good service 👍👍“
“I've only been here about 4 times (not in NW area often) but it is hands down one of my favorite bars in Portland proper. Every staff member I've encountered has been friendly and helpful with recs. If it's not too busy they'll also tell us process if making some of their unique flavors. As busy as it gets I have never felt rushed out. The bar snacks are from upstairs and pairs great with the Vietnamese theme of the cocktails (spring rolls and salad rolls are great). It's a small space so I'd say it's better for groups of 2-3. I've never made reservations but have gotten very lucky the times I've been, where the hostess squeezed an extra chair at bar and politely asked if a couple next to us would move one seat down that was open.
If you live in Portland, this bar should be on your radar“

“I recently stopped by and ordered their House Special, and honestly—it was some of the best pho I’ve had in a long time. The broth was incredibly rich and flavorful, the kind that tastes like it’s been simmering all day. The portions were generous, packed with tender cuts of meat and fresh herbs that made every bite perfect.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. It’s the kind of spot that reminds you why pho is such a comfort food staple.
I’ll definitely be back. If you’re craving a bowl of pho that hits all the right notes, Pho 503 is absolutely worth the visit.“
