A casual, counter-order restaurant that serves up some delicious and creative banh mis. I tried the BBQ Tork Banh Mi (made from tofu and mushrooms) and the Pulled Pork Banh Mi. I enjoyed the texture of the Tork a lot, and I absolutely loved the strong, marinated flavors of the Pulled Pork. The bread was soft and pillowy, and smelled nice and fresh. The ratio of mayo and sauces used was perfect, and it was stuffed to the brim with crunchy pickled carrots, daikon, and cilantro. A good banh mi is all about the textures, and the mix of different textures in these was very pleasant.
For appetizers, I tried the Shrimp Salad rolls, which tasted good and standard (nothing too special there), as well as the Crispy Salad with Pork. I liked the sauce flavors and mix of crunchy vs tender textures in the salad; the pork was very flavorful.
I also tried some of the Beef Pho— the broth was excellent: very flavorful and aromatic though a little too salty. Overall, prices are solid and reasonable too, and the service was very quick. It was pretty empty for a Tuesday dinner, and it was easy to find a table for dine-in.

The food was fantastic! Flavorful and true to the homey taste of my hometown’s cuisine. Their Hue beef soup is a little spicy so you may want to ask for mild for a less intense dish.
What originally brought me in was my search for vietnamese coffee. The second I walked in, I was blasted with a delicious aroma. I had eaten prior to arriving so I grabbed my coffee (which was pretty solid, I enjoy every sip) and headed off. The smell is what made me decide I MUST come again and try the food. I was not disappointed. I got the Cowabunga Pho / Phở Đặc Biệt and God it was delicious. So pack with savory flavor, I had a hard time leaving any broth. I will definitely come back and try more food.
I chose ground "tork" (tofu pork) vermicelli noodles and they were super good and felt light, even for a noodle dish. I didn't miss the real meat at all. Will definitely come back and try other items.
Ive had phō in many places around the US and definitely have had better but this was really good. The beef phō had a nice, lite broth, chewy noodles, tender meat... perfect on a cold day. I want to go back and try their other foods, and have more phō. These days, I feel like I'm rediscovering Portland.
Love the vegan options that they have. I ordered the ground tork rice plate (tofu with cauliflower and lemongrass), it was so flavorful and delicious. The curry tofu and pulled jackfruit banh mi are also my favorite ones. I’m not a vegan person but I would love to have sometimes to cut down the meat.
Tasty, down-to-earth Vietnamese food. We shared the crispy spring rolls and the lemongrass chicken banh mi. Both were delicious! Good flavors, not too salty, good balance of ingredients in the banh mi. The server/cashier was friendly. Definitely give this spot a try!
A cute Vietnamese restaurant next to the Hawthorne Asylum food pod. I had the Hué beef soup which was nice and spicy and a hint of lemon grass. This soup had a nice authentic flavour which was rich and flavourful. An abundance of veggie fixings and large pieces of meat.
Fantastic service and clean shop. Would eat again.
The beef brisket pho is so delicious! The broth is very clean tasting and the noodles are cooked just right. The restaurant is nice & cozy & fast service. I am visiting from New York, so this place was very impressive. 10/10 would recommend if you're craving pho!
Exactly what I’m looking for in Vietnamese Pho. The vegan option included lots of veggies, the tofu was flavorful and service was fast. Our neighbors got the noodles and everything looked very colorful.
