    Pho
    Shawn N.

    Delicious Pho. Probably the most flavorful broth you'll find. It's almost too rich for drinking but it's perfect to coat noodles. Service was excellent. It is a joke in the wall but it's nice inside. Great Pho

    Spring Rolls :/
    Ben C.

    It's a grungy entrance, a lot of different designs pieced together, hole in the wall feels. Spring Rolls ~ eh. Peanut sauce is almost flavorless. Not wrapped tightly. Calamari ~ overly salty, most sauteed vegetables. Pho ~ it is just ok Service ~ straightforward standard.

    Tofu noodle soup
    Laura L.

    The Tofu noodle soup (vegetarian pho) was amazing. I've had trouble finding a good flavorful vegetarian pho and this was exactly what I was looking for. 10/10!!!! My partner got the tofu bang in and it was a 10/10 as well. We can't wait to come back!!!!

    We stumbled across this spot during an evening out and it was amazing! We shared bbq pork fried rice and potstickers plus a round of Sapporo's. The food was plentiful and made fresh to order. The owners were so kind and gave us great service. The prices are very fair.

    They know how to do Pho right here! They also have the good chili oil! Friendly and quick, which matters for Pho! 'nuff said!

    Salt & Pepper Squid special - just meh
    Sean R.

    It's a dingy looking place from the outside but don't let the boarded up spray painted door and cracked glass fool you, there is delicious food to be had and inside is clean. The days of the $6 banh mi are gone (and I'm afraid they are never coming back) they are currently 8.50, but I opted for the special which was a mix of the chicken pork and beef mixed up in a sweet spicy sauce. Fresh cilantro and jalapeño added nice freshness and heat. The bread was also the best, toasted perfectly crunchy but soft and not crumbly. I tried their salt & pepper squid special which would have been good - the breading and flavor was nice - if they didn't use the frozen calamari rings and had actual fresh squid. They also have an extensive pho menu, and I like that they have lots of cuts like tendon & tripe as well as the standard cuts. I also want to try their special curry noodles. They'll take your order and bus your table, pay up front when you're done.

We shared the cream cheese wontons, coconut curry with chicken spice level 2(which comes with rice), and the luc lac. Everything was deliciousss! The chicken in the curry broke apart so easily and the curry itself was very flavorful. Spice level 2 was perfect for a little kick, but not too much. The meat on the luc lac has a nice char on it and a sauce that is almost sweet. Service is quick and the vibe inside is very trendy with colorful decor and lights. Great for a night out. Previous visits have sometimes left us confused as if we ordered something different than a usual so i would say it is not too consistent but great if you catch it on a good day.

They took our drinks order and handed the drinks while we were in the line. Once we got to the register, we put in our food order and paid. The restaurant was semi self served. We got to our table few minutes after ordering. Guests also had the option to order to go and dine in the tent tables outside. The interior of the place was so stunning. 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.

It wasn't too busy, and we had a big party; really appreciated that they gave the celebrants complimentary desserts, which was a nice touch. The pandan rice cake with ube ice cream was a my favorite. We called earlier and they got reservations available to be made. The pho was perfect for the chilly weather. The broth was strong and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked well. 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.

At $16, the grilled chicken was aplenty , so much that it made for a full size 2nd meal. Moist with grill marks it had the signature lemongrass flavor though now submersed deep in the broth, it loses a bit of the beauty of fresh grilled chix. The beef pho broth however was much less intense and complex than I prefer (Pho Van) so somewhat disappointing but a great fill with aok broth on a cold day. Had to ask for Cilantro on side which was missing from bean sprout basil lime side plate that waiter brought promptly but said it was added to broth..hmm ok Hubby got the Seafood Basil Stir Fry $18 requesting no added sugar to kill the heavy hand in the sugar bowl that tends to creep in, and it was better as the sweet soy still is still used.

Gone are the umpteen jungle of plants and open tables of 80s and step into a bamboo den with wood caged lights, bamboo & rope open dividers and ceilingscape, more intimate turquoise booths, central long booths spaced with tables and a new bar, love it! Remember to walk north of 39th for the $4 pints and will be back to try the more unusual sweet sour tomato broth pho with crab cake!

    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.
