We love this Pho place! Delicious and service is great! The Pho soup is so flavorful!

Seafood bowl
Lea G.

Came in here today with a few friends for lunch. There were several tables and it seems kind of busy after waiting for a few minutes we were seated. I think today was not their day. We sat at least 20 minutes before I order was even taken. And then it was another good 30 minutes before we got our soups. My friend had an appointment and she had to eat rather quickly and take the rest with her. I thought the soup was just OK. It was not super hot when it arrived. The meats were OK. Meatballs not my favorite. This service was really slow and unattentive. We refills are on the waters. There are a lot of other places around that I enjoy more. Like I said, maybe was not their day

Vegetarian Pho
Marija M.

We've been eating here for many years and they have been consistently delicious, great service. The vegetarian pho is a favorite, the broth is really flavorful and the veggies are so fresh. We've had pretty much every other pho too and they are all delicious! Highly recommend this place!

Pho dac biet
Timothy L.

Growing up in the area, this has been my go to place when I was craving a bowl of pho. The soup is good and the prices have been affordable. I came back here recently and ordered the pho dac biet. The broth was still good and the cuts of meat were pretty good. However the price of a bowl of pho is really high, I was surprised with $16 for an average bowl! Despite the high price, I still had a good experience returning. The owners are friendly and the space felt pretty lax.

Steak, Brisket, and Meatball Pho  So Freaking Good
Sean D.

Had an amazing dinner with my daughter and was surprised by the depth of flavor in our broth. Normally when ordering pho we experience a large bowl of noodles with a few morsels of meat. NOT HERE. I was pleasantly surprised to finish my last spoonfuls of brothy goodness with several tender pieces of meaty love. Iced coffee - Check Iced Tea - Check Super Crispy Yummy Appetizers - YUP How about the steaming hot taste of Home, the feeling of mental Peace, or just some good old fashioned sweat? Yessir! Love this place and will def be back again!!! Thanks for making our night great!

Great service! Very kind people. When I walked in, the place was very clean & all the tables are very clean. You grab your own silverware & water which I don't mind! I think it's actually more convenient. Calming music, clean, and overall just great. I recommend dining in. The food was served very quickly, I got the meatball pho. My boyfriend got the Super Bowl. Super tasty! Stop by if you get a chance.

Pho bowl #10
Karen W.

It was the first time we ordered pho from this restaurant. I love ramen and chinese noodle bowls. I think the broth quality is the most important part of making a good noodle bowl. And the Japanese ramen and chinese noodle soup bowls are far superior to the pho bowls. But I just wanted to give this restaurant a try. Although their pho bowls are not bad but I found that their broth was just too one dimensional. That's one star off the top mark. Due to the pandemic we carrird out our order. We ordered pho bowl #10 and #11. The old man, who I assumed is the owner, tried to sneak an order of limeade into our order without our consent. Luckily I caught his dishonest addition of a $4 charge on limeade and requested him to remove the charge. I wonder if he would have actually handed us a limeade if I didn't catch his cheat. That's another star off the mark. And yes the meat was served raw and the hot soup is supposed to cook it. The meat slices are sliced like paper thin. This may work better if you dine in. By the time we got home the soup was not as hot as it should be. I notice that couple beef slices are still pink. I just happen to not like raw food so it caused a bit of an issue for me. That's not an issue of the restaurant. Just to let everyone know that they charge extra 50 cents for every carryout order. There was no explanation but I assume it was for the packaging. Lucky for us that we didn't find hair in our food like other yelp reviewers (but I also didn't look that hard). Since the man intentionally tried to cheat us by charging menu item we didn't ask for, I don't trust this restaurant. I won't be back at the restaurant again.

To-go portion of superbowl pho.
Gene W.

Pho restaurants allow "exotic" dining with culinarily "safe" flavors. No major worries about weird ingredients nor things being too spicy. I mean rice noodles and beef broth, how cautious and healthy. But the positives of pho could also be considered a negative (i.e., bland, mediocre value). Pho Le, located in the New Seasons strip mall, makes a nice tasty pho broth, and the portion size is decent. In these times of takeout only, people might be alarmed when they get their pho bowl. I ordered the Superbowl, which consists of a goodly portion of blanched rice noodle, and 6 small portions of meat (sliced brisket, sirloin, round, trip, meatball, and tendon). The meat for the most part is rare to barely cooked. A large container of pho broth (3 cups?) at close to boiling temperature is provided, and that poured over your noodles and meat, finish cooking your dish. This actually works though you need to assemble the meal while the broth is hot! The price point is average for nice places (not dives nor food carts), and the taste is above average.

I would say the broth was a little greasy but not too bad. The flavor was there but not the best pho I've had. I've been on a pho kick lately determined to find the best broths. Pay first, receive food after kinda spot which is a little strange because it's a sit down place. I just don't like once you pay it's like ok here's your food bye lol I wanted more ice tea but I literary didn't wanna be a bother The fried rolls were alright by sin didn't like them. But I do appreciate how they are cut into pieces. Would I come here again? Probably not, I rather tried new spots

Tofu fresh rolls

Popped in here on Thursday to try the tofu fresh rolls. When I ordered them I asked the lady do you put basil in them and her response was yeah I can if you like. So I'm not sure how they would have been made if I had not asked this question. In Any case what was inside was rice noodles a little bean sprouts tofu and fresh basil. They were ok, nice and soft not bad; on a scale of 1 to 10 a solid 4. The dipping sauce has really no flavour. It was just like the other Vietnamese place I went to a few days before. I'm starting to wonder what's in these dipping sauces; because I read the ingredients of New Seasons pre-wraped tofu fresh rolls and they have sodium benzoate and fully hydroginated veggies oils.. both not good for health and may cause tumors. Any way I guess I could just start asking at each place I go for an ingredient list of the dipping sauce. This place charges a $1.50 to go charge that's above and beyond the state taxes. Hmmm. Just some plastic wrap and a take away container... That's steep. The lady working the till was very friendly This place is also in a strip mall lots of light and windows so very nice for ambiance. This review is only for the fresh rolls I've not tried anything else here.

Large, quality servings that come fast and hot. Clean and simplistic interior with attentive and polite staff. Don't know what else I could ask for!

Glad I chose to come here. The food here is delicious, the service great and the atmosphere is very relaxing and peaceful. Everything was fantastic.

Fabulous food, service and atmosphere!…read more Inside is fashioned after a town in Vietnam and it is beautiful! There's plenty of seating, an adorable bar set up and tranquil water features. Absolutely could be a great date night. We started with an order of Crab Rangoons and Thai Tea. Both were fantastic! Some places over fry the rangoons making them overly oily or leaving a weird aftertaste. These were done just right! Filled with crab, cream cheese and celery. I would not have thought the celery would be a good addition (I hate celery) but in this moment it absolutely works! For a main we ordered round eye steak Phó and it was absolutely perfect! We agreed that the broth is one of the best we have ever had! Plenty of protein and fabulously fresh add ins (basil, limes, jalapeños and bean sprouts). Service was quick and our server was lovely. We will absolutely be back.

The vermicelli noodle egg rolls were yummy and the fish sauce was not too sweet, the chicken satay was pretty average as far as the meat but the peanut sauce? I'd DRINK that sweet firey goodness :P But the real star of the show was the chicken, onion, potato and vegetable curry. At first I was concerned spooning it out because the sauce was a little thinner than I'm used to, what a truly silly concern because there was more flavor in 1 serving spoon than in a cup of sauce from the same dish at other restaurants!! Seriously folks, don't walk RUUUUN to Lotus

We started with a couple Thai mules which were made with a spicy and delicious ginger beer. For food we ordered the Nem Kai from the house specials menu and, after an enthusiastic endorsement, the drunken noodles. Both dishes were amazing. The ingredients were fresh and the portions were generous. We couldn't finish so we took the leftovers home and enjoyed them the next day. I have been craving that rice dish for the past week since our visit. I will have to go back soon! The servers were attentive and helpful, even though it was closer to closing time than we thought.

Restaurant was clean. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating options. We were immediately greeted and seated upon entering the restaurant. Staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. We ordered a few appetizers to share; coconut shrimp, potstickers, chicken satay and BBQ pork fresh salad rolls. Each appetizer came with an appropriate dipping sauce. The food was good, and tasted fresh. The chicken satay was a bit dry, but the curry flavor was perfect and the peanut dipping sauce helped give it a bit of moisture. I feel like the prices were a bit steep. We only ordered one non-alcoholic beverage and 4 appetizers, and the bill was just shy of $80, with tip. I guess I didn't realize how expensive it was since last time I came for Happy Hour. Overall we were happy with our experience here; however, next time we'll make sure we hit Happy Hour for better pricing. Would recommend.

No need to street park here. AMBIANCE: The restaurant is on the smaller side with only a few tables. Each time we've come, there has been open seating for us to get seated quickly. There's a giant mural of how to eat pho like a pro. SERVICE: Never had an issue. The ladies are always quick to seat us and often refill our waters. They bring the food out hot and fresh and we've honestly never waited more than 10 minutes for our food. She was quick to come to the table to take our orders and are always courteous to us when we come in. FOOD: I always get the brisket pho. They have two sizes, small and large. They are pretty decent portions and I always leave full. They serve pho with limes, bean sprouts, and all the fixings. They have hoison sauce and Sriracha on hand as well. Now the brisket and noodles are always good but the star is the broth. I'm so picky with my pho broths and this one always has that deep, rich flavour that I look for in pho. It's a darker broth and doesn't taste watered down like some of the other places I've had in Portland. I've also had their egg rolls and I love them. Always served piping hot and crispy. OVERALL: Been here several times and have not been disappointed. Highly recommend.
