Rose Vl Deli

I can’t believe it took me this long to write this review, as this has been my ultimate go-to spot in Portland since I moved here in 2019. The owners and staff always make me feel at home. I miss auntie Ha and her kindness terribly. The soups are a treat, my favorites being Mì Quảng on Sat, Hủ Tíu Nam Vang on Tue and Bún Nước Lèo on Fri (the menu and days might change though, and really you can’t go wrong, all of them are great).

I cannot heap enough praise on this place. It came highly recommended so we already had high expectations - but it still exceeded them. Top-notch service that makes you feel like family from the moment you walk in. Ordered two Friday specials and the broth was perfect - light and flavourful! Thank you for one of the best Vietnamese soup meals in recent memory.

Come early - come often. In a town of excellent Asian soups this spot sits on top. It feels like there's love in these soups. Service is so friendly. Just feels great in this place. They do it right! Just a couple of soups per day. Rotating menu. When it is gone it is over for the day. This really is not to be missed.

My apologies to Rose VL, I've been coming here for years, but somehow have never reviewed it. This place is the epitome of doing one thing, and doing it really well. Each day they have a soup special, along with one other soup, and that's about it, except for salad rolls. The soups have never failed to impress, whether I've gone for the special, or not. My most recent visit, the one that prompted this review, was the first time I've ever done a take-out order. The pandemic has made them experts at packaging a bundle that you assemble at home: a container of broth, a bowl with noodles, hoisin sauce and sriracha packets, and perhaps some meat, a baggie with additional meat if appropriate, another baggie with onions and green onions, and a final baggie with lime wedge, cilantro, Thai basil, and bean sprouts. It all came together beautifully, just like it does when dining in.

This is the best pho I’ve ate in Portland. Came here on a Tuesday, was able to order the beef pho!!! The soup is fantastic, flavor is right on point, and brings out the sweetness of 🥩! I would come here again every day to try the other soup options. Everything looks so good and worth the visit. The owner also told us, sometimes they will close early, since they sold out before 4pm! So call before you come and get the pho!!’

We come here every time we visit Portland and the experience never gets old. Home style broths full of flavour. Staff that are amazingly friendly. Tried the chicken pho (pho ga) this time around and was amazed at how much flavour was packed into that clear broth! Definitely must try if you’re in Portland

Freaking good. Far best of all I had in Portland. I hope this doesn't get too famous and get spoiled. Until this day, I thought vietnamese pho was fast food. Simple broth, simple noodle, and simple toppings. But that was totally wrong. This place tells you how complicated and deep this dish can be. The broth, noodle is different for each pho menu. The umami, sourness, sweetness and the aromatics all came in beautiful harmony. I really enjoyed the shrimp cake noodle, the tomato was a so good add to the umami in the soup. This place is totally worth the price.
