Stopped in for a quick lunch en route to the dentist- what a delightful surprise! Very warm welcome by the owner who promptly brought steaming cups of delicious tofu soup. We shared fresh pork/shrimp rolls followed by a pho tofu (excellent) and stir fried rice noodles with tofu and some veg- equally good. Great find and we look forward to returning (love that it opens at 9:30)!

Thank goodness--we finally found a great place for pho! We ordered the spring rolls and pho tai (rare beef, on the side). After having a sauce for the rolls that was straight out of a bottle at another place, we were pleased that this one was more authentic. The rolls were tasty--incorporating mostly lettuce and a small amount of pork and shrimp--but not the best we've ever had. I prefer to see whole shrimp and more meat in a greater ratio to the filler. The pho was definitely the star. Delicious, sweet and herbaceous broth served with rare beef, and a nice balance of basil, cilantro, sprouts and noodles. The interior is cozy and welcoming--as was the woman whom we assumed is an (the?) owner. Next time we're craving pho, we know where to go!

Fantastic, consistent food, and very friendly service. Also, they have some of the best crab rangoons in Portland! Their prices are in line with other similar restaurants in the area but I feel like the quality and portions are very good for the price.

2 words: Tofu Soup. The food here overall is pretty good. It's not my favorite place for Pho in town, but the Tofu Soup is everything. I will sometimes just order two orders of Tofu soup (which are sizeable) and down one in 1 sitting. It's just a creamy wonderful soup. Generally, whatever you order won't be disappointing. It's a consistently good restaurant.

I'm a huge pho lover... and I ordered the large and did not finish it. Pho was good, a little sweet to my liking but generous meat, noodles, sprouts and basil. Fresh spring roll were refreshing and enjoyed the grilled squid app. They also give you a free soup for a start... tasted like egg drop soup but better. Service was quick. Ordered bahn mi to go and it was fantastic!! Definitely be back for this when driving by Portland.

Visiting from Brooklyn. I didn't think the food would be so good compared to NYC viet places as we were in Maine. Everything here was so heavenly! Sad that I didn't take any pictures of the food. Everything was devoured once it came on the table! Highly recommend!

Visitors from California and we were super happy with the quality of the pho here! Authentic, super reasonably priced, broth was delicious, serving size of noodles and broth was quite generous despite ordering the small bowl size. All the vegetables including the basil and the bean sprouts tasted extremely fresh. Everything just hit the spot perfectly. Unassuming store front with a small parking lot. Family-owned business, somewhat small and dimly lit but clean and well decorated, friendly and fast service. Would 100% come back!
