Best pho spot 🍜 in Portland?

Yo, two noodle soup options a day—tight, focused, and incredible. Coming from NYC, where decent pho is scarce, I’m always on an escapade for that realness when I touch down in cities with a robust Vietnamese community. For me, it’s all about the broth. If it’s not rich, clear, and simmered for hours, it’s not worth the stomach real estate, nah’mean?

Steven and Helen are generous, down-to-earth individuals. They insisted I try their Cau Lau, a dry noodle dish from Hoi An, which reminded me of Korean bibim-guksu, perfectly blending textures.

Their story, like their food, is built on resilience. After collaborating with the Americans during the Vietnam War, their family endured hardship, but their decades of perseverance led to the success of their restaurants in Portland, Oregon. The formula? An aligned, dedicated, and resilient family dynamic. Bong!

Aight, peace and blessings.

Making one stock is hard as it is. But 4 stocks is insane. Shoutout to their dedication the community.

We are spoiled in Portland. Within 5 miles in any direction there are at least 10 more solid pho spots. Pho Hung just down the street is super solid. Even the burbs in every direction have a lot of solid choices.

Every time I come back to this page it makes me happy. Not a lot of things do these days, but this does. I just realised that now while seeing the posts again. I’m so happy this channel was created and I wish the best for every member of the team and contributing communities who work hard to make it happen
Sending love from Ireland ❤

That’s awesome. Bookmarked. It’s cool they serve Cao Lau, you normally don’t see that dish at most places, even outside of the city Hoi An.

Sometimes sold out by noon! A must try

I’ve had 5-6 of the soups they offer. Pork meatball soup is my favorite. But nothing about it is better than the consistent happiness from the staff. I can’t not smile in their restaurant.

The three sister restaurants (Rose, Ha and Annam) are all amazing. Never a bad meal.

[redpanda]

they also make vegetarian noodle soup for you if you request it

[sophitran]

Cau lau ?!!! That’s the most unknown and underrated Vietnamese noodle dish. That I’m my humble opinion surpasses pho and many many do not get to try.
