“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!“

“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.“

“Wonderful spot for a late night bite! Came here with a friend after being out seeing music, we got bah mi to eat in and then I also got a vegetable and rice dish to take home. We're both vegetarian; there's a decent selection and what we had was all super delicious. The sweet potato fries that come with the sandwich were some of the best I've ever had (and I'm picky about my sweet potato fries).
Service was friendly, prompt, and accommodating. Environment is nice but still comfortable and casual enough to be at ease. There's 4 TVs playing different things, felt a bit brain rot over stimulation-u, but they were all muted so it wasn't intrusive.
Great place!“

“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.“

“Okay here’s an in depth review. I walk in front of the restaurant. It’s so beautifully decorated with plants and looks very charming and welcoming on the exterior. I walk in. My nose is hit with the delicious aroma of comforting Vietnamese food. “Hello customer!” Says the wonderful girl at the ordering station. “What are you looking to eat on this magnificent day my friend?” I tell her I’m not sure, she proceeds to show me their menu with all the delicious foods. I cant even decide because I want them all!!! After thinking for a bit I decide on the Vietnamese pho. And one of their hand crafted drinks. The kind young employee guides me to my seat. I look around at all the beautiful decorations— it feels like I’m transported straight to Vietnam. I help myself to a refreshing free cup of lemon water. About ten minutes after ordering my meal comes. Not only did I receive a very generous portion of pho, it came with lots of sides to pick from, and even a hand cut lime. I devour the pho. The beautful and kind employee takes my dirty dishes and gives me a warm smile. As I’m leaving the whole crew of cooks and employees say “Goodbye my friend! We are so happy we could nourish your soul and stomach!” I almost have tears in my eyes. No name pho felt like my own home. The food was affordable and made me feel comforted and safe. And the workers made me feel like royalty. Thank you all.“

“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!“

“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 don't live in Beaverton, but I shop and eat in the area monthly. I haven't eaten at every local Vietnamese restaurant yet, but I'm getting close! I wish I had tried this joint sooner, and I think it's my favorite so far! I really like Bun (vermicelli bowls) and I had the one with shrimp, pork, and spring rolls. Most places just salt the food or season lightly and depend on the grill for flavor...these chefs season the meat and shrimp beautifully, and the handmade spring rolls were fantastic all alone. I was pretty involved with my food and I completely forget what my dining partner had, but we both loved it and will make a point of returning. Don't sleep on this place, it's better than many other choices nearby!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“
