Pho Van Restaurant

We've been coming here for the last 3 years. I can say the food has been great EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. We often come as a group of 6 or more and the service is great as well. Prices are decent not great but the food is fantastic. This is a big restaurant with a lot of seating area. Even when busy they turn tables pretty quick.If you haven't given this place a try yet, do yourself a favor and get some!

Food here was good, but the service is so terrible it's almost laughable and not worth our 140+ bill. We're from out of town and Viet, only a group of four.Getting a table was fine, but no one came to serve us or get our orders until half an hour in. We waited over 20 minutes for someone to finally get to us, even though A LOT of workers passed by us multiple times. When we first got a table our waitress (asian girl with glasses) dropped off our water and then left almost immediately afterwards. No refills on water, ngược mam, did not come to check with us about the food at all, etc. No one came to give us our bill either, so had to go to the front.As someone whose family has been in the restaurant industry for many years, you would think they would show more hospitality; but it was 1000% complete trash service. Avoid and only order the ca nuong if you can!

Wow, this might be the nicest restaurant I've ever eaten at. Not as in upscale and spend a lot of money nice, but as in an oasis of greenery with friendly staff, that fur serves impeccable and delicious food for a reasonable priceI lucked out because I just looked for something close and didn't even read the reviews.The parking lot was packed with cars, always a good sign, and the abundant and well cared for landscaping and building gave a welcoming and delightful vibe .Inside is a cavern environment, full of incredible plants so it feels like you are eating in a greenhouse .And yes, the food is the bomb. And it's quite reasonably priced. And the bathrooms are also lovely and the staff are very friendly. It was Sunday and they were slammed so it took a while for someone to take my order and for food to come, but other than that, I was very pleased with the experience. I'll be back. Frequently.

My favorite Vietnamese place, ever. I always compare every other place to this. We have been going here for years and it never disappoints. This place has a large dining room with lots of tables and booths. The menu is large with lots of yummy options. Service is always helpful and efficient. Food comes out quick and is always fresh and delicious. Bathrooms in the back. Parking in lot outside.

This place offers a spacious dining area, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. The pho tastes good, with a rich, flavorful broth and fresh ingredients. However, the service could be improved, as it wasn't as attentive as expected. Despite this, the overall experience is pleasant and the food is worth trying.

It's rare to find a good Vietnamese place that puts a lot of effort into ambiance & decor, so I was a bit nervous at how nice the place looked. However, the food & service were both great! At first glance at the menu, I was pleasantly surprised to see labels for things that contained gluten & items that were vegan. My partner and I almost always have to ask about gluten free options at Vietnamese places because dietary restrictions are so uncommon in a lot of Asian cultures. It was nice that my partner could order most of the menu, as only a few things contained gluten. We ordered the veggie crispy rolls to share, then I had the pho chay (vegan pho) & he got the mi quang. The food came out without too much wait and the staff were very friendly.The pho itself was delicious! I appreciated the effort put into having a flavorful veggie broth as well as two types of tofu in the bowl. Many restaurants have given me bland broth with raw tofu cubes before. The crispy rolls were also one of the best things I've eaten in PDX! I can't speak to my partner's dish, but he seemed to enjoy it and it was nice to see something different on the menu when so many Vietnamese restaurants stick to pho, banh mi, & bun bo hue. Yes, the price is about $5 more than I usually pay for pho, but given the quality, effort, & portions, I didn't feel ripped off at all! We paid $44 for two entrees and an appetizer, with leftovers to take home. I'm looking forward to trying the rest of the menu & the desserts!

Order Vegetarian Pho and a Classic Pho! Plus the Jasmine tea! Vegetarian Pho is great - I did no mushrooms and added broccoli. For sure top 5 pho place. The inside has such cute decor and the staff is super great. 10/10 recommend!

Pho Van is a regular stop for me when visiting a friend in the area and I wish I lived closer. Their food is so good and they have lots of great options. Last night I got the duck and bamboo with rice noodle soup, I will be getting it again, it was delicious! The bamboo was soft with a subtle bite but not stringy like it can often be, the duck came cooked in strips on a pile of cabbage and peanuts with a light sauce. The food arrives pretty quickly and portions are perfect. Servers are nice and generally speedy, there is lots of seating but usually a small wait on weekends (less than 5 min).

Delicious Ca Nuong, crispy cat fish w/ veggies and fermented fish sauce. Now I'm craving it, darn it.

#51 and chicken wonton soup the best in town! Salad rolls with peanut sauce are exceptional.
