I love coming here for really good Vietnamese food when I don't feel like driving out to 82nd. It's counter service so it's good for a quick lunch downtown. The spring rolls are gigantic and well balanced with protein, noodles, and veg-- and you get to choose your dipping sauce. The rice plate is hearty and the crispy pork belly is fantastic. Juicy and flavorful with crackling skin. I actually haven't had the pho here yet but I will soon and I'm sure it's good, as most other ppl there seemed to be enjoying it!

If you're in downtown Portland and need a break from shopping, this is the place to be. It's super close to places like Muji, Zara, and Pioneer Place -- to name a few. There's a good amount of seating, and it's a nice change of pace from the city. It's very low-key inside and a great place to eat alone or with a few friends. The staff is super friendly and helpful when choosing what to order. My friends and I didn't have to wait too long either for our food which was great since we were starving! There are a few parking garages nearby and street pay to park near the restaurant. The spring rolls as an appetizer are a must! They're SO good, especially their tempura. It's light and crispy. It was the perfect snack before our meal. Cuốn is a little pricier than your average pho shop, but considering you're in the city and the amount of food they give you, you won't be complaining. The pho was also very clean tasting and some of the best broth I've had from a pho place. We were all full AND satisfied by the end of the meal. I had a great experience here, and I will be coming back for more!

Place is so warm and welcoming. Seems family owned. Lady in the front register was absolutely the sweetest and kindest. My friends been talking about this place because I wanted PHO and this place didn’t let me down. BEEF PHO - Was beyond amazing. The broth is so good and the ingredients were so fresh. I highly recommend this soup. PORK BELLY BANH MI - ONE OF THE BEST BANH MI’s I’ve tried in my life. The bread is fantastic and the ingredients were cooked to perfection. I WILL MOST DEFINITELY be back to try it all.

This little gem is located downtown and convenient to get to. I needed a hot broth so popped in here for pho which l hadn’t had for a very long time. I don’t usually have pho outside (prefer parents one) but this was an exception. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was, the broth really warmed me up. I ended up finishing most of it. So decided to order a vermicelli bowl with grilled lemongrass pork and grilled pork patties to go and had it for dinner. Shame they ran out of crispy pork belly, but what l ordered was tasty. The sauce was rather too sweet for my tastes, so l added lemon juice to balance out the flavour. Also the grilled pork was a tad too sweet too. Put that together with the sauce = too sweet. The place is like a canteen so very casual. For eating in, you collect your own cutlery and sauces (sirachi/hoisin) and the tea and water is free. I had so much broth so the tea was thoroughly welcomed just to cleanse my palate after eating. Staff were very nice and polite. I would certainly head back here should l visit Portland again.

The food, in my opinion, tastes better than popular competitor, Luc Lac, and is much more reasonably priced. Their broth has amazing depth, comes with plenty of delicately julienned onions, green onions and cilantro. Their spring rolls are huge! Always fresh, never ripped, and their dipping sauces are gluten free, which is a huge win for sensitive eaters! Cool water and hot tea are free and bottomless. My favorite lunch hack is ordering a side of broth and a spring roll which comes out under $10. Service is quick, the restaurant is clean and stylish, and the staff are very kind.

Absolutely BEST Vietnamese food my family and I ever had! Family was in Portland for Spring Break vacation and chose here based off of reviews. It didn’t disappoint at all!! The restaurant was pristine and decent sized dining area. Service was excellent and owners were so friendly! Ordered the Beef Pho, Chicken Pho and the Vermicelli Noodles w/ Grilled Lemongrass Pork and Shrimp. Everything was DELICIOUS and we have had legit Vietnamese food all over the West Coast. Also thank you for the recommendation to go see the Cherry Blossom trees at the Waterfront!!! Was definitely worth the walk!!! We will be back!!
