    I stopped by on my lunch break nearby and was helped immediately and allowed to order very quickly and food was out in less than 3 minutes even though the restaurant was bustling. The workers are very kind and heartfelt. I got a combination pho that included tripe, beef shanks, and meatballs and I just took off some points because I only had 1 meatball in my pho. Overall great experience and I will be back!

    Don't go here. Got waters one had ice the other had hardly any aka they were sitting out on the counter. Ordered crab Rangoon's and they tasted like fresh fish. We ordered main dishes but was avoiding food posing. So we placed money on the table and left. The Coke we ordered wasn't even refrigerated and. We got 1/4 a glass of ice. Beware of this I've contacted osha

    Wife came here before for a banh mi (big) and we decided to try dinner due to some interesting dish pictures on the wall. Language was an issue but just means I need to hone my viet skills. Hu Tieu/Pork Noodles - dry egg and rice noodles with soup on the side. Very good and not the easiest dish to find! Ga Len Mam - chicken on a plate. I loved it. Excellent presentation and chicken was amazing. They stay busy and I can get why. I think the language makes it hard for some customers, and led to some poorer reviews. Also Ga means chicken and Bo means cow. Look at the logo lol

    Walked into a full restaurant where everyone was excitedly eating their food. The menu was amazing. A range of items for all palates. My toddler was excitedly picking one thing from each page. Her eyes were obviously bigger than her tummy. I ended up picking the pork noodles with both tapioca and rice noodles, kiddo got the lemongrass grilled chicken rice plate, A got the jumping beef with rice, and also got avocado and mango smoothies. Our party also got three types of rolls (salad and fried). A couple folx got the crab noodles and that looked soo good! Not me with order envy. Everything was so good! Amazingly flavorful broth, perfectly grilled chicken, and a sizzling beef plate with runny egg yolks. The toddler ate a couple salad rolls too! Love the cute lanterns strung up and the kiddos loved the little fish tank. The service was fast, efficient, and friendly. Crab noodle soup! I'm coming back for you next time. Please come support this amazing local business. They recently closed their Portland location due to inequitable fines they were unable to afford. Not only is the owner a humble and kind person. The food is soo good and worth the visit.

    At first site of the menu, I didn't understand the high prices but good lord, the portions here are HUGE! My partner and I shared a large bowl of brisket pho and we had enough left over for dinner that night as well. We also ordered crab Rangoon and the grilled chicken salad rolls with peanut sauce. My partner proclaimed that the crab Rangoon was the best she's ever had and I can vouch that the spring rolls were absolutely amazing and perfectly paired with the peanut sauce. An absolute great spot to share your meal or even just have a hearty meal to yourself. Service was lightening fast as well! Highly recommend

    Bun Rieu

    If you're looking for Vietnamese food beyond Pho, this place is it. I got the bun rieu which is a crab forward soup! It was delicious. Rich broth, chunks of crab/pork meatballs, lemongrass stalks pressed throughout. Loved the plate of fresh veggies to go on the soup and bouncy tofu. We got an avocado and durian shake to go. We were so full, I had to take half the soup home and it heated well as leftovers. Service was quick and friendly here. Support this family owned business!

    Definitely one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Walked into a lot of patrons enjoying their meal. Beautiful lanterns hanging. Very friendly service. We met the owner who was so nice to talk to. Great bowl of pho tai and nam. Tried the fried pork spring rolls which were great. Great lunch spot for someone craving the real deal.

    To-go order: Filet mignon pho w/ extra meatballs, Pho w/well done brisket & well done flank (pho chin & nam), Grilled pork salad rolls

    I've been patiently waiting for this Pho Gabo location to open. It's now here and I am beyond elated. Opening week is 20% off as well. My Pho Gabo To-go order: -Filet mignon pho w/ extra meatballs -Pho with well done brisket & well done flank (pho chin & nam) Tip, If you're getting your pho to go... ask for them to please keep noodles uncooked, then when you get home, dip them in boiling water to your liking and then drain. Reheat your pro broth on the stove and then pour over your pho noodles. -Grilled pork salad rolls The Bo Kho, Vermicelli Bowls, Rice Plates, Viet Coffee, and Special Platters are also delicious. Go support! Yum. So glad they're in Happy Valley now.

    If you like bugs then I'd highly recommend this place for your fix. Nice and juicy. Honestly the pho wasn't great either and the service was kind of rude. Not sure what's with the good reviews.

    Theresa A.

    Decided to pop in and try their pho. We ordered the pho chin and pho tai as well as egg rolls. The service asked if we wanted tea and water and we asked for both. The hot tea was good, very comforting on a cold, rainy night and a little precursor of what was to come. The pho was really good. Both cuts of meats were very tender and flavorful. The egg rolls were crispy, hot, and delicious. Service was great!

    Kathleen N.

    Friendly and quick service. Clean restaurant. Broth was clean and flavorful. One complaint is I couldn't order a small veggie pho, so I had to get the regular and was too full to finish it.

    I have not tried the other locations, but I'd imagine taste-wise, things should be exactly the same. I am so happy about the location of this place as there is no good or even decent Vietnamese restaurants in the Happy Valley area (in my opinion). Their chicken pho broth is really good, and I typically do not order chicken pho. Get their salad rolls, they are the best I've had at any restaurant in Portland!

Anyone looking for hand-pulled noodles: as of May 2025, you will not find them here. They apparently stopped serving them. May return for: Beef In Chili Sauce (cold) - I love this dish and have had it at many other places. Chili oil was delicious; onions and cilantro went well with the thin slices of beef. Would not return for: anything else. Taiwan Beef Brisket Tomato Noodle soup - it was bland broth, unfortunately. Uncooked spinach and tomatoes added on top, very little flavor. Brisket was not very soft. Mongolian Beef Chow Mein - there was a puddle of sauce at the bottom of the bowl, which I would not expect for chow mein. Definitely not cooked in a wok (or done very poorly). Handmade spicy pork wontons - also not flavorful. If they used the chili oil on the Beef in Chili dish, this might taste better. But the filling would something to be desired.

We were greeted right away by the staffs. We ordered spicy wonton, pork belly noodles, tomato brisket noodles and Lanzhou noodles. The portions were generous.

One of my boys liked the tomato beef noodle and finished the bowl with lightning speed. This is a good spot for a quick noodle meal.

"Let me know if you have any questions!". We had questions about her menu items, and she answered them nicely and thoroughly, in detail. Okay, so we order two things: the S3 and the Spicy Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen, and here's what U think about each: Tonkotsu Ramen: -The Meat doesn't have a huge initial, impactful taste, but the flavor settles in a couple seconds after you bite it and it's a very soft, warming feeling. -The Broth is where the spice is, and it's not like "oh my mouth is on fire" it's the type of spice that hits you in the back of the throat, so it's bearable but I couldn't chug it personally, I had to take sips which is nice for someone who devours their food like there's no tomorrow (like me). -The Noodles are.. just your typical Ramen noodles, nothing special to add there but nothing bad to say at all! -The Egg, although not marinated in soy sauce like some places do, was cooked well. The inside was soft and gooey, but the white was fully cooked. I have no complaints! -The Mushrooms added a nice texture to the noodles and the overall dish, and worked to make it even more satisfactory. The S3: -I don't have much to say because my cousin ordered it and I only had a few bites, but the veggies were cooked nicely... -The big boom about it was the noodles. If I had to describe it, I would say it's like.. an Orange Chicken type of Tater Tot, it was really unique and fun to eat. Next time I go, it'll be hard to decide what to order.. Okay, don't just take my word for it, go see for yourself! いただきます!

Came in on weekend for lunch and it was definitely a 40 min wait, but then literally no one on a Tuesday night for dinner. Somehow, the time for the food to come out was about the same. You get a few that come out quick, then a few that took long enough for me to notice it, and then always a few where you wonder if they forgot your dish. Even when there was no one else in the restaurant. The XLB and pot stickers are all super solid, not quite Ding Tai Fung quality, but at these prices and wait times they are great. Qbao's are delicious. I think the noodles are honestly slept on. They all have great flavor, super bouncy noodles, and honestly come in a size that you can easily finish on your own or still big enough to split in case you wanted to try another flavor. I also think the pork wonton's with chili sauce are also super slept on, the sauce is oddly sweet, but honestly I love that. Service here can be hit or miss. They don't really do a each table gets a specific server system, at least that hasn't been my experience. You'll get some food runners, and you can usually just flag anyone down to get what you need. But it does mean things can slip through the cracks if you don't have one person keeping an eye on the list of food ordered for the table or you have multiple servers checking in on you to see if you got all your food even though you just told the server 3 min ago you were still missing something. All in all, this place is phenomenal and approachable. I will be back, maybe not on the weekends though, it's not quite worth all that.
