" My girlfriend and I had a wonderful date night here. The atmosphere is intimate, perfect for conversation, and the staff were so welcoming.

We left feeling satisfied and happy. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried the classic pho and the broth was good, but I was hoping for a richer flavor to make it stand out. The egg rolls were delicious, though, and added a nice touch to the meal. Service was attentive, but I found the pricing to be a little high for the portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went here for lunch and grabbed the beef banh mi! It was so good and packed full of flavor. The bread was crispy and the meat was juicy. Service was quick, which is always a plus during busy lunch hours. I'll definitely stop by again next time I'm in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" A must-visit for anyone in Portland! The food here truly embodies the essence of Vietnamese cuisine. I can't get enough of their flavorful pho and the spring rolls are just the right amount of crunch. The atmosphere is very inviting and the service was outstanding. Thanks for a lovely evening!
