    Probably a 3.5 star in my mind. My husband enjoyed the flavor of his plate Buddha's Delight with tofu and all veggies. I did the build a plate and found the quality of the chicken was good but the flavor was bland. I did like they had Hoisin sauce on the table as I could add some of that for flavor. I also tried one pork skewer and it was ground meat with spices so like a meatball. Not my thing but wanted to share it was more flavorful than the chicken with the honey marinade as I noted too bland. I was impressed with all the live plants around the restaurant that they are good at caring for. It was nice they did help at the front kiosk to put in the order for us since we were dining in and need to leave some items off like peanuts and rice for one dish. Good value for the price for sure.

    Vegetarian pho-Build a Bowl

    Cute little place with build your own bowl options which includes veggie options. Lots of drink choices as well. Seating inside and out, friendly staff, absolutely recommend on a cold day!

    Our order came fast and the drink was like that Starbucks refresher but so much better! No bitter just sweet with a really pretty color. The place overall looked super pretty and looked like a nice spot to have dinner or even a small gathering.

    First time @ No Name Pho today and it was great! Ambiance was very cozy and my pho came out fast and hot. Definitely stacks up with the other pho spots I tried in town. Price wise pretty similar too. I usually get a bowl and a Diet Coke and it's a little over 20 bucks, this place was the same. Wanna go back soon to try their bahn mi!

    Skewers and Salad Rolls

    I was a bit hesitant to go here because I was worried that it might have been a not-very-authentic place (as someone who is Vietnamese, I really take pride in Viet food), but I was pleasantly surprised! As soon as you come into the establishment, there's a big menu and a counter for you to order at. Once you order, you are then seated, and food is brought out to you. The inside of the restaurant is pretty cute, with nice wall decor and cool ceiling decor. I really liked the ambiance. I also loved the menu and the concepts of building your own bowl or plate. I've never seen a Vietnamese spot do this (except sometimes with meat in pho bowls), so I thought that it was very innovative and nice to allow customers to choose their own proteins, noodles, and broth. I also loved how they had skewers too. The food itself was pretty good, and it came out fairly quickly. Overall, a pretty good Vietnamese spot on Hawthorne and I would come back again!

    Love this place! Super easy to stop in while shopping in the neighborhood. Super clean, fast, fresh, and delicious Pho with super quick service.

    Bowl of pho
    Tokii L.

    Tis a place with no name for sure because the food here was not memorable. Will not be back. But they have amazing decor so it's a good place for a coffee and laptop. You order and pay at the counter. I should not have gone here from the reviews as I'm seeing boiled eggs in pho. I should've known better but I was hungry and it's cold outside. Got the pho, drink and some spring rolls. Pho was super bland and lacked any beef flavor, tastes heavily of msg. Meat was overcooked. They also don't have any water that was offered. Spring rolls on the Yelp page are misleading and show deep fried "rice paper" spring rolls. Yet they served egg rolls (with a wheat and gluten wrapper). This is super dangerous for gluten intolerant humans!! Which means they may cross contaminate in their frying oil. I think this is an ok place for those who have never ever had real pho before, as it's super Americanized and lacks any traditional flavors. But if you're used to the good stuff I can't recommend pho here. The build your own noodle bowl is awesome for an option but since the pho flavor was off I can't say if it would be good!

    Thin Steak and Meatball Pho
    Heather R.

    I enjoyed my dinner at No Name Pho. I took advantage of the build your bowl option. I got thin steak, rice noodles, and meatballs. The broth was delicious. I got enough meat and the toppings were fresh. I enjoyed the patio and the service was good. I'd revisit here.

    Crispy chicken combo

    My girlfriend really liked her mango smoothie and the chicken and the fries were super crispy! Good sauces too. Fries need more flavor. Overall great experience and good staff!

    Entrance and counter to order
    Scot W.

    Great spot. The pho was excellent; the broth was flavorful and perfectly seasoned; the veggies were fresh and crunchy, the basil was fragrant and bright. The noodles were perfectly cooked; a little bit of bite. The meatballs were tasty, with a bit of an anise flavor. That's a flavor I don't love, but it was restrained and in good balance here. One thing that is a little odd (and perhaps a COVID relic): as soon as you enter the door, you are confronted by a window where you place your order. This gives the appearance that they are carry out only, but that is not the case. There is ample seating and the space is comfortable and welcoming.

    What's in a name? This spot sounds generic, but the food is distinctly delicious. Must order Spring Rolls ~ THE BEST IN TOWN. Large, tightly wrapped, perfectly chewy wrap, tasty dipping sauce. Eaten dozens of these and perfect each time ***** Sandwich ~ slight crust with chewy dough bread. Tasty pickling. Indoors ~ they took a moment to create a chill vibe. Bathroom decorated & clean ~ this is telltale sign this Vietnamese joint is serious about their business. A couple of covered outdoor tables on a nice day. The service is always smiley and courteous! Only drawback ~ neighborhood street parking is hard to find. Will rename as #1 favorite Pho PDX!

    Build A Bowl - chicken broth, rice noodles, chicken
    Kendra C.

    Very good pho, some of the best I've had! The broth was so flavorful, it was my favorite part of the dish. The chicken was alright, a little tough & I prefer it to be moist & tender. The Vietnamese pho was delicious, the steak, brisket, & meatballs were cooked perfectly. Vietnamese iced coffee is also a must try. Service was great, we didn't wait long for our meal. The staff was super friendly. I love the vibe of this restaurant, it's got a cool atmosphere & tons of greenery all around. The outdoor dining area is great as well. It's street seating but it's not graffitied up like some other places around Portland. Overall glad we checked this place out. You won't be disappointed!!

There is plenty of seating there and It looked like there was a space for live music and string lights - probably a fun spot to grab dinner in the evening. We came for lunch and ordered the chao mian with chicken (spicy) and bian bian noodles (spicy). The noodles are cooked to order and we were served quickly. The serving sizes are huge. Neither one of us could finish ours. We'll likely order one dish to split next time, and that'd still probably be more than enough. The flavor of the chao mian was a bit lackluster. It was savory with a soy sauce flavor base, but got a bit repetitive with each bite. It was decently spicy and texture was there with the veggies, but I wish there was a way to customize with more spice or vinegar to taste. The bian bian noodles were more flavorful and also spicier. Fun noodle texture. There are also other vendors in the garden so you can pair a dessert, drink, or side with your meal while staying in the same area. Overall, a filling meal for a good price! Would come again to try their beef noodle soup.

The place was full of hungry locals and tourists but was uncustomarily quiet and calm. From the hostess that seated us, to the waitress and servers, all staff and management were extremely polite, positive and helpful. We were starving. So we ordered 3 entrees and side of Dry-fried String beans. The Green Beans were cooked perfectly and the serving size was generous! One of our new favorites is the Mongolian Chicken. Is not a spicy Chinese food dish but the moist chicken and seasonings produced a yummy & comfort food level dish! As usual, the lightly battered & deveined Butterfly prepared Salt & Pepper Shrimp was mouthwatering, with every bite. As the last entree to be served. The ten Chicken & Vegetable Dumplings were fresh and flavorful. Needless to say, with only 2 patrons eating lunch with 3 heaping entrees plus Dry-fried String beans and white rice - we took home 2 more meals worth of Chinese food leftovers. Definitely dine in at this Old Town location or order To Go!

The service was kind of weird/awkward about IDing us for drinks. I assured her I was happy to grab my ID and she was kind of rude, alluding to the fact I look old and she doesn't need it haha. As our food started to come, our friend noticed a long black hair in the chicken dumplings. We notified our server and she investigated the dish on our table. This rubbed us all the wrong way because you should believe your customer and take the plate from the table and maybe exam it in the back/kitchen? We didn't like the hair deter us and everything was truly delicious. We had pork soup buns (good, but not very soup-y), pork wontons in chili oil (yum!), chicken potstickers (probably my favorite), spicy chow mein (delicious), the dry fried green beans (so good)! We were stuffed. I ended up telling the server that we wouldn't need the new chicken dumplings and she was very rude and taken back by that. I feel bad to inconvenience them, but none of it would've happened if there wasn't a hair in the food? There were other small, rude things our server did but ultimately, it didn't ruin our night or take away from the delicious food! I would recommend the restaurant with the warning that the service is lackluster.

We devoured everything and left no crumbs but the dishes I would likely gravitate back towards are the hand pulled noodles, wings, and actually the Mandoo! The hand pulled noodles were coated nicely with a spicy sauce and had a great chew to them. I loved the thickness of the noodles and added crunch from the cabbage and other veggies. Half sweet and half spicy for the wings was the way to go - each wing was doused in sauce and sesame seeds but still maintained its crunch. As someone that doesn't usually like wings, these were fantastic. Lastly, the Mandoo surprised me! It was the sauce that sealed the deal. It was like a thousand island, poppy seed kind of dressing that worked very well. I couldn't stop eating them. If you're looking for authentic Korean food, this is the place!
