    P11. Pho Ga (Chicken)
    Julie P.

    The staff is super friendly here was attentive to my needs. The Bbh was kind of bland and tasted kind of water down and it definitely needed more fish sauce or something salty to the broth. There was enough meat and not enough noodles. The chicken pho was actually pretty rich and fatty in flavor so I enjoyed that but still missing that umami. Might come back to try the banh beo but probably not the pho.

    Pho Kim is my current favorite and go to pho spot. I've only ordered delivery so I can't speak on service or ambience. My orders have always been packaged securely and nice presentation.. especially the soft tendon. I love the tendon so much that I had to order extra this time and it was worth it. I've never had tendon served in a square shape but it makes it so much better this way. I wish I could eat their pho everyday!

    P8. Pho Dac Biet(Special everything) with chili oil added

    Food is so good! Just went here today around noon and food came out so fast, the pho was so flavorful I only had to add chili oil for my preference it was perfectly salty. Server, front desk, and cooks are very nice and attentive! I recommend especially if you like having a good amount of options to choose from. (:

    Tried the Bun Cha Ha Noi. Healthy amounts of everything! Greens were fresh and pork was savory. Enjoyed making wraps.

    S6. Bun Bo Hue

    Lol what a name. But this seems like a legit pho spot, lots of tables and space for big groups, and they seem to always be cranking out tons of pho. They have a lot more types of pho than the 3 or 4 choices that are offered at most places (I didn't even know there were that many types of pho) as well as some other non-pho items. But of course we just got our usual Bun Bo Hue. This one has the actual blood cake piece if you're into that. I like that you can order extra sides of tripe/tendon for cheap, and they are generous portions. Plus you can order one of the huge broth bones for $6 if you feel like gnawing some extra meat or want to treat your doggo (it was bigger than my foot lol). I will definitely be back to try one of those other phos I haven't seen elsewhere.

    Overall: This has been one of my staples when it comes to Vietnamese foods but the service can be a hit or miss sometimes. Location/Parking: It's right on 82nd across the street from Portland Community College. They have a parking lot but it can be really easy to miss because the entrance isn't that wide. Food: One of my go-to options here, much like many others is the Super Bowl. Nine times out of ten, they are pretty consistent but there has been one time when I felt like a dried-out sponge that needed to be thrown into the pacific ocean because of the MSG. If you're looking for the bean sprouts and other sides, fair warning, they do not give you much and if I remember correctly, they charge extra for more.

    Bun bo hue-ordered it with extra satay. The soup was pretty bland, it tasted very watered down Pho-the soup tasted bland to me, i couldnt taste any aromatics. Not a lot of meat either. Bo kho-this soup had a decent spicy kick to it. The beef was soft but took a bit of chewing. The tendon was hard and barely chewable. But my friend enjoyed the soup. Banh beo-the batter was a bit soft/mushy to my preference, but decent!

    Special Pho and hot tea

    As a chef myself, I love this place. From the rich broth to its fresh spring rolls, I can say this is one of the best hands down Vietnamese food. Great service, beautiful atmosphere to bring friends/family. Maybe a nice date... Enjoy!

We shared the cream cheese wontons, coconut curry with chicken spice level 2(which comes with rice), and the luc lac. Everything was deliciousss!

There were dragon on walls, umbrellas in the ceiling, a huge full service bar. Our dishes came out within few minutes. We got the chicken skewers, chicken pho, chicken luc lac and steak rolls. We liked the small plate dishes, but the entree ones were disappointing. The chickens were chunky and dry, bland flavor. As much as we loved the vibe of the place, we didn't enjoy the food as much. The staff members were very joyful and friendly. They were explaining the process to every guest and keeping everyone informed on waiting time. During dining, they were also available to help.

My friend got the noodles with crispy chicken and mushrooms, and those were phenomenal. The Vietnamese platter would honestly make a perfect date-night meal. This has great variety and fun to share. The fries and wings were flavorful appetizers and a great way to start the meal. Service was great overall, but a bit hands-off after the food was served. I don't remember anyone checking back in on us. Nothing was wrong with the food, but it would've been nice to have that quick follow-up. Would definitely come back, especially to check out their brunch next time.

    Downtown Portland's hidden gem for authentic Vietnamese!…read more I was walking around downtown Portland and stumbled upon Cuốn Vietnamese Street Food, and honestly, it was the best meal of my week . If you are looking for fresh, flavorful, and satisfying comfort food, do not walk--run to this spot. To get the full experience, we ordered a variety, and every single item was a hit. We started with the Beef Pho, and the broth was the absolute star. It was rich, aromatic, and deeply savory, clearly simmered for hours. It was the perfect dish on a sunny Portland day. We also grabbed a Chicken Banh Mi. The bread had that perfect crispy crust with a soft, airy crumb, and the chicken was grilled to perfection with fresh veggies and herbs. Of course, we had to wash it all down with a creamy, sweet Thai Tea--it was delicious and the perfect end to the meal. Beyond the food, the vibe is great. It's a super clean, casual spot with big windows letting in lots of natural light. It's set up for quick counter service, which makes it perfect for a fast lunch downtown, but the staff is so friendly and welcoming that you feel right at home. It's a family-run business, and you can taste the passion in the food. Highlights: · The Pho Broth: Seriously some of the best in the city. · The Banh Mi: Fresh bread, great fillings. · The Service: Fast, efficient, and incredibly kind. Pro Tip: Don't forget to grab your own utensils and sauces (the chili crisp is a must for the pho), and help yourself to the free self-serve hot tea. It's the little touches like that which make this place a winner. I am already planning my next trip back to try the Crispy Pork Belly. Highly recommend

    Positives: fresh, well made, very flavorful proteins. Cons:…read morePrice I tried Cuon for the first time and enjoyed it. I went for a Vermicelli bowl where you get to pick 2 proteins. I selected Pork Belly (their specialty) and lemongrass chicken. The bowl itself is standard Vietnamese fare, nothing special, creative or exciting in that sense. That said, the ingredients tasted fresh and the proteins were very well seasoned and cooked. The pork belly skin had an awesome crunch and you can clearly taste the lemongrass in the chicken. The included spring roll had nice crunch but little flavor. Unfortunately, outside of Pho, Banh Mi and Noodle Bowls, there's sadly not much else to the menu. No Vietnamese salads, stir frys, etc. Either way, what they do make, they seem to make quite well. So, on to my main issue ie, that for a place thats only open for lunch, the prices are a bit too high. I noted about $16 for a Banh Mi sandwich, no sides. Pho was around $20 and my noodle bowl was about $20 as well. Weirdly, its about the same prices as eating lunch back home in Miami, a FAR more expensive city in general. In fact, I've often had more exciting Vietnamese in Manhattan for lower prices. So while its easy to recommend Cuon on quality, its not a top recommendation for lunch value in the PDX which is why Im docking 1 star.
