No Name Pho

I was a bit hesitant to go here because I was worried that it might have been a not-very-authentic place (as someone who is Vietnamese, I really take pride in Viet food), but I was pleasantly surprised! As soon as you come into the establishment, there's a big menu and a counter for you to order at. Once you order, you are then seated, and food is brought out to you. The inside of the restaurant is pretty cute, with nice wall decor and cool ceiling decor. I really liked the ambiance. I also loved the menu and the concepts of building your own bowl or plate. I've never seen a Vietnamese spot do this (except sometimes with meat in pho bowls), so I thought that it was very innovative and nice to allow customers to choose their own proteins, noodles, and broth. I also loved how they had skewers too. The food itself was pretty good, and it came out fairly quickly. Overall, a pretty good Vietnamese spot on Hawthorne and I would come back again!

The bread is good.Otherwise the Banh Mi was okay. Hoisin as the sauce was a weird choice for sauce and the grilled pork is nice but it's in house sausage with some nice flavor but not what I would expect from a banh mi but the lack of heat and acid was surprising. No peppers in the sandwich but in the salad. The veggies didn't bring the vinegar bite I would expect.I got the vegan cream cheese wontons too. They were cooked well and fresh. The strawberry smoothy had too much sugar but that just may be the style. Milk tea was great.So a mixed bag of Banh Mi.

I enjoyed my dinner at No Name Pho. I took advantage of the build your bowl option. I got thin steak, rice noodles, and meatballs. The broth was delicious. I got enough meat and the toppings were fresh. I enjoyed the patio and the service was good. I'd revisit here.

Lackluster pho which was far too pricey. Not sure why things like tendon or tripe wouldn't be offered as it's a cornerstone of good pho. Further, it was quite evident that the broth had not been in process for any length of time. A key to robust and flavorful pho is broth must take a minimum of 24-48 hours. Instead it appears this place is pandering to those without much knowledge of good Vietnamese food. Will not return.

No complaints for No Name! After a rainy day of thrifting along Hawthorne, this was the perfect place to wind down and enjoy some hot pho. I had the Build-a-Bowl with beef balls and brisket, along with an ice cold Sapporo. The service was efficient and the bowl came out quickly, which my empty stomach was grateful for! I recommend this place to anyone looking for some quality Vietnamese food on the SE side of the river.

Tis a place with no name for sure because the food here was not memorable. Will not be back. But they have amazing decor so it's a good place for a coffee and laptop. You order and pay at the counter. I should not have gone here from the reviews as I'm seeing boiled eggs in pho. I should've known better but I was hungry and it's cold outside. Got the pho, drink and some spring rolls. Pho was super bland and lacked any beef flavor, tastes heavily of msg. Meat was overcooked. They also don't have any water that was offered. Spring rolls on the Yelp page are misleading and show deep fried "rice paper" spring rolls. Yet they served egg rolls (with a wheat and gluten wrapper). This is super dangerous for gluten intolerant humans!! Which means they may cross contaminate in their frying oil.I think this is an ok place for those who have never ever had real pho before, as it's super Americanized and lacks any traditional flavors. But if you're used to the good stuff I can't recommend pho here. The build your own noodle bowl is awesome for an option but since the pho flavor was off I can't say if it would be good!

Gave me food poisoning... It's the night of and my boyfriend that I went with hasn't gotten sick yet (he has a flight very early in the morning and has been sleeping) so i really hope he doesn't get sick, but this made me violently ill. I feel awful this happened and that i'mwriting this but maybe they can fix whatever is wrong and other people can be aware. Good service and atmosphere and the food was good but made me sick :(

My daughter and I stopped by for a quick lunch after shopping at the Buffalo Exchange across the street. She had a noodle bowl, and I had the tofu salad, which is honestly the best one I've ever had. All of the greens were fresh, the thin slices of tofu were prepared perfectly, and the dressing was delectable! My daughter had chicken broth in her bowl with udon noodles and thin steak and she said the steak was prepared perfectly and the bowl was great. We will definitely be back!

This is my favorite Pho spot. I moved to Portland from California not too long ago and it took me awhile to find a Pho spot to replace my old favorite, and this is the place! The perfect comfort food, I love being able to customize the bowl. I have dined in the restaurant as well and it's very cute inside.

Food was good but when asked for extra limes I they only gave me 1 small slice, and when a bought another drink we didn't get it until the end. Overall food was
