" Delicious and enticing flavors that transport you right to Vietnam! The staff was friendly and made recommendations that didn't disappoint. The ambience was casual yet sophisticated. I especially enjoyed the vegan options available. Highly recommend the bún for an authentic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my experience here but felt there was room for improvement. I ordered the grilled pork vermicelli bowl; while the flavors were good, the portions were smaller than what I'm used to for the price. The service was attentive and polite, but the overall ambiance was just average. Happy to support local businesses, but I think I’ll keep searching for my go-to spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightful restaurant with an inviting atmosphere! I immensely enjoyed my meal here. The egg rolls were crispy, and the pho’s broth was rich and flavorful. Service was attentive without being intrusive, always asking if we needed anything. It's a great spot to unwind after a long day! I’ll surely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, a pleasant dining experience! The bo bun I ordered was delightful, fresh, and colorful. I loved how fresh everything tasted, and there was a good amount of meat included. Service was good too, very friendly staff that checked on us regularly. Definitely plan to return in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits, I can confidently say this is one of the best places for pho in town! The broth is spot on, and you can taste the quality of the ingredients. The service is consistently attentive, ensuring you have everything you need. An overall great value considering the quality of the meals. " (*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! " (*Curated Review*)
