I went to Vivi's for the first time about 10 years ago and haven't stopped thinking about it since…read more Unfortunately, it's pretty far and out of the way from where I live, but every time I pass through the area and am hungry for Vietnamese food, I'm hungry for Vivi's. Over the years, I've brought friends and family here, talking it up enough that they're willing to make the journey with me. I always recommend the tofu vermicelli bowl. The fact that my tofu-skeptical father sang its praises after I made him try it is a testament to its flavor. I still think of it as the gold standard of tofu. I was recently in the area for the first time in 5 or 6 years and decided to go back to Vivi's with my mom. It was the first thing that popped into both of our minds-a real jinks moment. I was nervous that it wouldn't live up to our memory. Vivi's had moved around the corner from their old location-a cute, cozy little cafe-but their new restaurant is more spacious, hopefully to accommodate the flocks of diners that their food merits. I got the tofu vermicelli, which was exactly as I remembered, equally flavorful and generous in portion size for $15. My mom got the papaya salad for $5.50. I previously thought I didn't like papaya-I was mistaken. It was a unique and refreshing dish that I would 100% go back for. Vivi's food tastes fresh and nourishing and at the same time satisfying and rich. We were short on time and were prepared to have to take it to go, but our food was out in 10 minutes. I don't usually write reviews, but after so many great experiences over the years it felt long overdue. A small business that has maintained their quality at reasonable prices over the years deserves to be recognized with a recommendation. Give Vivi's a try!

I don't eat red meat, but I took a small sample of the steak bites and I was blown away. This restaurant is a family affair -- dad creates the menu, mom curates the drinks, and the two daughters take care of front of house. The only weird thing is that the restaurant is in a condo complex, and GPS doesn't quite understand how to navigate. Please don't let this dissuade you! I can't wait till I'm in the Portland area to go back. Run, don't walk to Kita!

We were greeted with a smile and an answer to any of our questions. You can tell they care about their customers.

I got the seafood pho, which was tasty and filling. I didn't know until after I posted my pic that there was a separate pho with egg noodles. Usually egg noodles is the default in my experience but the rice noodles were good too! Price was $17.50, which was a little more than I paid in MN but worth the price as the portion is generous. Service was friendly. Easy to pay with cash or card at the counter. If I go to Pacific, I have a feeling I may be a regular. ;)

But I was in the mood for hot noodle soup on the cold day so I ended up giving Pho Tango a try. You can see the whole restaurant from the front door viewpoint and they had small tables, big tables for groups and cozy booths. We were greeted right away and seated since they weren't super busy. I always appreciate when extra accommodation is made for my toddler: closed water cup with straw and small bowl and soup spoon. I got the Beef Special Soup (almost $18). It came piping hot and with the typical accompaniment of bean sprouts, basil, and jalapeños. It wasn't the worst pho I had but it also wasn't the best (sorry but the best pho in the area is definitely Pho Oregon) but it hit the spot. I didn't have to add any hoisin sauce or sriracha to my soup because it was flavorful enough on its own. But I do like to dip the beef in hoisin and chili sauce. I didn't really feel like it was worth $18 for this bowl of pho but I also got their new appetizer Bahn Mi to go ($8) which I thought was a good deal and my husband liked it when I brought it home. Maybe they are better at their other dishes. Come and decide for yourself maybe you'll find something better!

We always order the round steak pho, and I usually ask for my steak raw on the side. The broth is incredibly clean, balanced, and full of rich beef flavor. It's easily my favorite pho broth in the area, and we've tried a lot of places. The vinegar garlic on the side is a must for building the perfect bite. The shrimp and pork salad rolls are always fresh with great peanut sauce, and the Vietnamese iced coffee is strong in the best way. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is family-owned, and you can really taste the love in the food. The space is always clean and well maintained. I live in Ridgefield, Washington, and whenever I come visit family in Hillsboro, this is the place I want to eat. This spot deserves to be way busier than it is. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out.

I also had a banmi sandwich and only ate half because the salad rolls were huge and filling. Hubby had his usual noodle dish and wings.
