Thom Portland

We enter the tiny dining room and order at the counter. A man greets us and takes out order of two Pho Bo. We opt for water, gather some chopsticks, spoons, and napkins and sit. The pho is served within five minutes. The broth is steaming hot, chunks of rare beef simmering along with meatballs, herbs, and onions. I add a single jalepeno slice, some basil, and bean sprouts and dig in. The broth is rich and flavorful. I can taste the star anise and all the notes from the bone broth. This is not a delicate soup, it's richer than most pho here in Portland. The broth is so good, I leave the hoisin and sriracha aside. The noodles have a little bite to them, which is nice. Before I know it after some slurping and good conversation my bowl is empty. I would go so far to say this is my favorite bowl of Pho in Portland now. Thank you Thom for making the chilly evening warm and bright.

Don't be fooled by the millennial branding.This was the worst bun thit I have ever had. The cucumber, carrot and lettuce were not fresh and tasted like they had been sliced days prior, and the vermicelli noodles waterlogged and soggy. There were no fresh herbs and barely any peanuts sprinkled atop the tough pork. The fried egg rolls didn't come with any herbs or veggies either to wrap them in, which is standard for Vietnamese food.My husband ordered the chicken and rice bowl which was mostly rice with again old veggies.Will be sticking to the spots on 82nd from now!

Absolute hug in a bowl! Usually I love eating pho in cold and rainy days but I'm so glad to have tried this place out during the peak summer season.The ambience inside is very cozy and quaint, tucked away in the corner of the street so it might be easy to miss. The owner greeted us and we paid at the counter before we sat down. The menu is small but has everything you need - even a vegan pho! There's a shelf with a bunch of utensils/sauces/bowls/etc. you grab yourself before the pho comes out.The pho came out fast and the quality was amazing! Good amount of meat and the broth was one of the tastiest I've had. I cant wait to come back again!!

Finally found our go to pho spot that isn't a far drive for us! This place is really small so if you're going in a group I suggest you get there right at opening or be prepared to wait. Our party of two got the last table around 5:30pm on a Saturday and we saw countless people come after and quoted 30-40 min for a wait. I think there may have only been one or two people working because the man in the kitchen came out to take our order then went back to get our food. Despite this, service was not bad at all and it wasn't long until we got our food. Pho bo was on point, deliciously aromatic and light. Curious to try the pho ga or bo kho next time!

Good Pho in a small restaurant. No frills ordering at the counter, self serve condiments and water.

My friend and I both got the Pho Bo (beef pho soup), recommended by the gentleman working there. The broth was rich and flavorful, one of the best ones I've tasted in a while. The portion was perfect, and they gave us a generous amount of sides (bean sprouts, mint, limes). It's a smaller, cozy restaurant.I recommend!

Good little quiet pho spot. I'm no pho connoisseur but I like it here, tastes very good, I liked the Beef Pho even though it didn't have tripe or tendon. See a lot of complaints about the portion size here but I think it's a great portion. I would much rather pay under $20 for a bowl of pho I can finish and feel comfortably full from instead of paying more for a stomach splitting amount. I also tried the Com Ga (chicken & rice) which was a huge portion of chicken indeed. It was pretty good, tender well cooked chicken but the flavor was a little one note, I got a bit bored of it halfway thru.It's a small place with about 4 or 5 tables stuffed into the living room of a house. Counter service order up front. Not good for groups, largest table seats 4. I would come back to try the Dads Grilled Pork & maybe their vegetable pho too I've heard good things about.

I don't typically like pho, and have always had a hard time finding good vegetarian pho. My husband had a craving, so we gave this a try.Really, really good! The vegan broth is incredibly flavorful and has large pieces of bok choy, mushrooms, tofu and onion. The menu is simple but offerings are excellent. Self serve water, good sauce choices, and easy to find to-go containers.The only thing missing is hot tea. I will be back!

Great place for a solid big warm salty bowl of pho! It's teeny in here so come on a date, don't bring your whole family haha.

The broth was delicious, flavorful and well balanced.The egg rolls were cooked perfectly.Timely and friendly service in a clean environment. A place to go when craving a hot bowl of soup and comfort food.Would suggest going earlier in the day before items sell out.
