first time trying this spot. coming in i had high expectations due to their Instagram posts. the restaurant was spacious & nice. the creamy curry udon noodles were pretty good. the chicken katsu was delicious & crispy! the sizzling beef & egg was also good as well. wish they would give you more bread, so we had to ask for more & got charged for plain bread... unfortunately the ube waffles did not taste like ube one bit. tasted like regular waffles & the chicken wings weren't so great either. not a very flavorful dish. then surprisingly, the garlic noodles were not a hit with us even tho it has decent reviews on here. it gave plain & dry spaghetti noodles. the pork belly we added for an extra fee was good though. would come back to give their coffee a try someday read more

Love the vibrant colors and vibes this place gives off from IG posts but the actual taste is lacking unfortunately. We started off with some Ube and pandas coffee which wasn't fragrant at all, followed by our main courses below: - Fried Oyster Mushroom 4/5: Nice, light crunch to the batter, flavorful, dipping sauce that accommodates paired well with it. -Garlic Noodles 4/5: I liked this dish! I don't want to question how much butter was in it, but for a once in awhile dish, yes please! You can't go wrong with garlic, butter, and a splash of soy sauce! -Ube Waffle and chicken 3/5: Looks prettier than it tasted. Nothing amazing stood out about the dish including the Ube waffles, mediocre at best. -Asian Shakshouka 3.5/5: I wouldn't say the flavors here are spot on but it's a good attempt at the Vietnamese Xíu Mai dish which is pretty similar. This dish was a bit sweeter than I liked and could have been served with more bread. Overall, if in a pinch we would try some other items. We love Asian fusion foods, but this one just didn't hit quite right. Giving this 3.5 overall! read more

An An - Vietnamese Meatball w/bread- xíu mại - Vietnamese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I came here for brunch one day and had a great time! An An is a Vietnamese fusion spot (you don't see many of these!) located in Northwest Portland. The inside of the restaurant is high ceilings, wooden, and bright. There's a huge bar area with tables around and it's a very lively ambiance. Service is good. When I came here for brunch, I got their bok choy, ube waffles with chicken, and garlic noodles with pork belly to eat and hot tea, green tea thai iced tea, and a coffee to drink. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was quick. I loved the ube waffle with chicken as you could really taste the ube flavor and the portion was huge. I'm not quite sure I would quite call this Vietnamese fusion, but it was delicious nonetheless and I would definitely come back. read more

I came here for brunch on the weekend, and let me just say--I'll definitely be back. Just a heads-up: they only serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays (no weekday brunch), so plan accordingly! Our table ordered the Ube Waffles, ube Toast, and Udon Curry--each one hit the spot in its own way. I also highly recommend adding the Brussels Sprouts to your order... they were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. For drinks, we tried the Pandan Coffee, Ube Coffee, and the Passion Fruit Limeade--each one was unique and refreshing, but the limeade stole the show. Super vibrant and tropical! The service was excellent. Servers were friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a delicious, vibe-y brunch spot in Portland for the weekend, this place is it. I'm already planning my next visit. read more

Gotta appreciate some of the creativity that my people came up with it at this spot. But i would say def stick to the classics. The sizzling beef and garlic noods were best. The ube waffles were missing more things than my ex before she puts on her makeup. Cute brunch spot that won't hurt the bank too bad. Bulk recommended read more

An An - Ube Waffle - Vietnamese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Came on a Sunday and was seated right away. The interior is super cozy and inviting and each server that came to our table was super informative and attentive We ordered the sizzling plate, the seasonal ube toast and pandan and an an coffee When I tell you we devoured everything, we practically licked our plate clean. The sizzling plate was amazing!! The beef was so tender and delicious. The ube toast was heaven on earth and was the perfect dessert dish. The Hawaiian toast was warm and buttered and the ube topped on top was the perfect combination. I wish we ordered 2 plates instead so that we each had our own! That's how good it was. I can't wait to come back and try something else on their menu! read more

Takeout Review - Your Experience May Vary Dine-In! Stopped by for a pickup order on a Sunday in May 2025 around 2PM. The location in Kenton is super cute, and the place was bustling with diners -- lots of natural light and a good energy inside. This spot is relatively new but already serving up a solid menu with some standout bites. Star Anise Beef Stew Really comforting and flavorful. Nothing particularly flashy ingredient-wise, but it all comes together nicely. The portion was generous -- definitely enough to split between two adults, especially if you're grabbing a side. Pork Belly Bites w/ Cucumber Salad Highlight of the meal. The pork belly was perfectly crispy with a tender, rich center. Came with a light, slightly sweet dipping sauce and a bright cucumber salad that was tart and refreshing. Everything balanced beautifully. I'd honestly come back just for this dish. Pandan Coffees (20oz) Tried the pandan coffees -- fun, aromatic, and great as a little sweet pick-me-up. ________________________________________ Overall: Great first impression. Whether you're picking up or dining in, this place has promise. Can't wait to return and try more -- especially if those pork belly bites are involved.

i came for brunch, and the employees were super nice giving us a wait time immediately, about a 20 minute wait. we went to shop around down the street while we waited. inside the restaurant was super clean and had a modern clean aesthetic look to it, it was refreshing! the turnover time from being seated, ordering, and food coming out was quick. i ordered the fried chicken and ube waffle and this is my first time having anything chicken and waffle. everything was pretty good, there wasnt a lot of ube flavor in the waffle but having 2 different sauces brings a lot of different flavors out of the meal! read more

Friendly staff. Cute restaurant. I've been to An An for both brunch and dinner, and both times have left satisfied and belly full. This is my favorite Asian Fusion spot currently, but I may be biased cause I am Vietnamese and it includes some of my fave comfort foods on the menu. They also have a simple kids menu for kids portions and pricing and as a Mom who is also a foodie, I felt at ease knowing my daughter could enjoy her meal too. Brunch menu must have: Vietnamese Sizzling Beef and the Ube waffle Other must haves: Pork Belly, Star Anise Beef Stew, Shaken Fries Everything is flavored well, priced decently, and balanced with food that enhance and compliment the flavor of the dish. I was surprised at how much I liked the beef stew because sometimes I don't feel like people get the flavor right and it ends up bland (not here!) Some of the items can lean more salty, so make sure to balance it with rice or carbs. read more

This is more of a 3.5 star. While the food is good, it's not amazing and considering the price and portion sizes, the value is definitely lacking. Service was friendly but you need patience as they do get quite busy so the service itself can be a little slow. We were seated in the outside patio but were pestered by mites and flies so your experience may vary. Reservations are recommended if you want to be seated indoors. For the food itself, the curry udon was delicious but very small dish for $18-20. I wasn't a fan of the fried chicken and ube waffles which were very dry. The coffees were the star of the show but not very strong considering they were "Vietnamese coffees". read more

Went here for happy hour. Had two kids under 2 and everything was great! The staff accommodated us and even added a cherry to our kid's drink because he wanted to fit in to cheers with our fancy cocktails. We ordered most of what was on the happy hour menu and it was $2 off all drinks! Definitely will come back to try other things not on the HH menu. It was very chill and then got busier around dinner time. read more

We can here on a Saturday morning right when they opened and there was plenty of seating available. The restaurant features a large bar in the center and smaller tables along the sides . We started off with the Vietnamese ice coffee, both the vegan and regular options, along with an ube iced latte. The drinks were amazing and the vegan version was the best I've had in Portland. I would come back here for the coffee alone. For our meal we tried the three most popular brunch options. The sizzling beef was my favorite, with its strong garlic flavor, fresh bread and perfectly cooked meat. The service is also definitely a factor in why my rating is so high. Our server was extremely friendly and patient with us as we decided what to order. We stayed for much longer than a typical breakfast would take socializing, but everyone was so kind and would continually check up on us. I will definitely be back to try their dinner and lunch menu as well as the drinks. read more

As an SF native, I am huge sucker for garlic noodles. So evidently, An An would be in my list of places I wanted to try. Thankfully, I had been in the area after attending a celebration of life, so I decided to have a late lunch at An An. For starters, the place was nice and spacious and full of natural light. I ordered their house garlic noodles with chicken katsu. I also had to order some of their appetizers: fried oyster mushrooms, house fried chicken, and pork belly bites. As for drinks, we had mimosas and ube coffee. Their house garlic noodles tasted a lot like how I'd make them at home although they had a lot more liquid seasoning than I'd prefer. My favorite had to be their fried oyster mushrooms and pork belly bites. Their house fried chicken wings were good addition as well. As far as drinks go, mimosa was simply a mimosa, but their ube coffee was definitely delicious. Next time I'm in the area, I'd love to try their brunch menu items: ube waffles and Vietnamese Sizzling Beef. read more

I think it was a nice touch to use grilled chicken instead of steamed but some might disagree cause it's not traditional. However, this grilled chicken was full of flavor and delicious so that's good enough! Not including veggies such as broccoli or carrot was traditional though but I wished they included that for more fiber. There were so many onions!! Minus one star for a very ordinary broth which I couldn't say was chicken broth - it tasted pretty artificial to me and I just wish it was more natural and had chicken flavor. read more

Exceptionally good Vietnamese + Asian Fusion in the heart of the charming Kenton neighborhood. It's casual but still elevated, with beautifully plated dishes, unique cocktails and specialty coffees, and pretty touches like lit candles and dried floral centerpieces. This spot is consistent, affordable and still has a "wow" factor. Service is always wonderful. I'm a fan. read more

The Vietnamese house ice coffee topped with cheese foam is one of the most delicious coffee drinks I've had in Portland. There's about three other varieties on the menu I look forward to trying. I was mixed on our two entrees. The sizzling beef - available only during brunch - was worthy on flavor, light on portion, and the meat was tough. The Beef Stew was very tender, good flavor, fair portion, but the broth was soupy, rather than a thick stew-like. The Ube waffle made for a not overly sweet ending. Interior ambiance is simple, with no wait on a Sunday at 11:30 a.m. They offer a homemade Chile oil concoction, otherwise it's just sriracha for condiments. Service was very friendly and prompt. read more

I've been wanting to go to this place for a while and finally made time to make the drive over here. We really enjoyed the food and loved how aesthetic it looked. I couldn't resist getting the Ube latte because it looked so pretty. I felt like it was a pretty average price for a coffee, but it was smaller than I expected. I barely taste the ube, which was slightly disappointing. For food, the first entree we ordered was the ube waffles. It was good and was super unique. The sauce paired well with the waffle. We opted for the spicy version which was mild. We also ordered the Vietnamese Sizzling Beef which came with some baguette. The beef paired with the black peppercorn sauce was delicious! For appetizers we got the bao which came with 2. We got one fried oyster mushroom bao & one grilled pork one. It was pretty good, but kinda of expensive for what it is. Everything was beautifully presented and came out decently fast. The service was decent. The servers came by and check on us on in the beginning, but towards the end of the meal they were just sitting down and talking amongst each other. We had to go up to them to ask for boxes and the check after waiting for a while. Overall, it was a good meal and we will hopefully be back again! read more

This is the 1st time I've had to write a negative review. I had made a reservation for 11am on Saturday, got seated at 11:15 and then our order was taken around 11:30. We waited till about 12:20 and asked an employee how much longer our food was willing to take. She said that our order had never went through. We had waited basically over an hr in total. I understand it was busy and understaffed but this definitely ruined my day and we were very frustrated with the lack of service here. We had to leave because we were starving and frustrated. The food looked amazing and I was really looking forward to it. The employee had offered a coffee to go, but we were not willing to wait another hour for that. During the hr waiting, there were no check ins or refilling of water or anything. We were very disappointed in the service here. read more

I prefer a thicker bo kho but the flavor at An An was great. The portion was shockingly small even with a warning that it would be small. Three pieces of beef and like four carrots? The restaurant felt like a sanctuary with the plants and open concept read more

The garlic noodles w fried chicken is GOOD! I also wanted to try the Ube waffle but I'll have to come back for that. We also tried a beautiful passion fruit butterfly drink, loved it! It's a great lunch spot for a meeting, quiet w well spaced out seating so you're not hovering over the neighbors table. Our waitress was sweet, soft spoken and gave us just the right amount of time w everything. Parking can be a bit difficult to find in the neighborhoods but that's pretty normal. read more

This seems like a popular brunch space for the weekend. It's a Vietnamese-fusion spot. The dining room feels pretty grand with the large bar at the center. I dropped in on a Saturday and ate at the bar. The brunch menu actually didn't appeal to me with lots of waffle-based dishes or beef dishes. So I ended up ordering a few starter dishes to create a meal. I got the spicy won tons, Vietnamese cole slaw, and buns with chicken. Everything felt a bit basic, and were all oddly overly garnished with sesame seeds on everything. The chicken in the buns were on the dry side and tough. The drinks actually are a bit more of the star. I enjoyed the pandan latte I tried with a nice green foam on top. I give this place higher marks more for the drinks and vibe and environment. The food feels a bit like Chinese takeout. read more

We saw An An on a random Instagram reel and the food looked delicious, so we decided to check it out on a chill Friday afternoon. When we arrived, there was no one in the dining area so we felt a bit silly for making a reservation ahead of the time. However, a crowd showed up a few minutes after we got seated. So if you are coming here during the weekend, it's probably easier to make a reservation. The shop looked tiny from the outside but was much more spacious inside. An A was decorated in a whimsical modern style with Asian inspired decor and murals. It has a large bar area in the middle and plenty of seating. We tried the Ube and the pandan foam Vietnamese coffees, the Ube waffles and fried chicken, and the Vietnamese sizzling beef and baguette. All were delicious. My fiancé said he preferred the pandan Vietnamese coffee because of the subtle and less sweet pandan flavored foam. Personally, I liked both flavors because the coffee was strong and I couldn't make out the difference between the Ube and pandan. The beef sizzling plate was delicious with tender beef covered in gravy, tomatoes, and cilantro. It also came with freshly made baguette which was so soft and crunchy. However, my personal favorite was the Ube waffles and fried chicken as the rosemary and the syrup went so well with the savory fried chicken and sweet Ube waffles. Overall, we liked An An and would like to come back and try more. read more

I would give this place another shot though to see if it is any better a second time. read more

We searched on Google for a restaurant and found this place that looks good so we went there and ordered their garlic noodles with shrimp and it was so good and chefs kiss!

Actually great all around restaurant. Drinks were great, food was great! Felt very much like a restaurant back home called Nep Cafe that we also love. The pho had a great meaty rib, the ube waffles were nice and crisp and sweet. The garlic noodles were really great and we also liked the vietnamese sizzling beef. We got the ube and pandan coffees and both were excellent. Seems like you can't really go wrong with anything you order, so definitely worth going for brunch. I would go early to miss the crowds. read more

Came for brunch. Nice bright cafe with table and bar seating. Iced Vietnamese coffee vegan (4/5): tried vegan version for coconut condensed milk, but it wasn't very coconuty. I asked for no/reduced ice, but it did not seem to be different. All of their drinks appear to be iced. Vietnamese sizzling beef: 3.5/5 average beef--not super tender, but not tough. A bit on the salty side for me. Garlic noodles (4/5) and pork belly (1/5): garlic noodles nice and buttery and garlicky. Pork belly was fried and dry. (Definitely not as good as roasted pork belly with juicy meat and crispy skin.) Ube toast (4/5): rolls soaked in butter and ube sauce They accept reservations, although there did not appear to be a wait while we were there. Service is friendly! read more

We love the ambiance here, chill and cozy. The interior designs are really nice and the food was delicious!!

I've been here twice in just a few months after stumbling on it while at a street fair, and I can't believe it haven't heard more hype about it because it's just that good! The coffee is incredible, I haven't been for brunch but got this during lunch and it was delicious. At night, the cocktail menu is equally delicious and creative. As far as the menu, you honestly can't go wrong. Ordering a bunch of dishes and sharing everything has worked great every time I've come. Definitely looking forward to coming back for brunch service! read more

Service was nice, our waitress let us know brunch would have a bit of a wait but we were seated pretty promptly. I thought the fries and mimosa were great! I love the Asian flavors of the drinks. The fries were very plentiful for a starter, I thought it'd be smaller portion so I was pleasantly surprised. The thit kho I was a bit disappointed with.. I think if I would have known it was more liquidy i would r gotten the bread not rice withit . It wasn't as flavorful of the pork taste :( smaller pieces of pork bits too. My friend's crispy pork dish was good though. So I think the next time I'll try something else. Lots of seats inside, all street parking. read more
