First off coming here on a Friday night place was dead for dinner service. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was great. We ordered a regular beef pho and a curry broth pho special. It came out fast and the bowls were gigantic. However, we found it was mostly broth not as much noodles or meat which is fine as the price was reasonable. The flavors were pretty good I would recommend. I really liked the curry beef broth. They have a lot of lunch specials so wanna come back and try it then since it's across from the community college I imagine their lunch would be busier read more

Pho 39 is a great place to hand out and grab a bite to eat. The staff are friendly, the food is delicious, and the prices are fair. I have a Vietnamese coffee, salad rolls, calamari, and Pho. The salad rolls made great leftover. Highly recommended, will visit again. read more

An authentic little mom & pop pho spot in North Portland that we're lucky to have. I got the #16 Pho bo vien (meatball pho) and an order of their fried egg roll appetizer. Both amazing, egg rolls taste just like my grandma makes read more

The pho is delicious and the people are super nice. Love this place. You will not be disappointed.

We ordered using GrubHub: tofu banh mi, tofu vegetables and noodles, tofu vegetable soup, and egg rolls (not vegetarian). Everything was delicious. I could eat banh mi every day. I couldn't find a place to indicate "no onions" anywhere on the GrubHub form, so I called Pho 39. Response was excellent: there were no onions, and he even called me a few minutes later to verify that I wanted non-vegetarian egg rolls. read more

Dropped in for dinner on a Friday evening. Interesting environment - kind of dark and divey - but not unwelcoming. We were the only diners there so service was speedy. We had the shrimp salad rolls, the grilled pork bun, and the chicken pho. Huge portions, decent flavor. Maybe a bit light on the 5-spice I lean towards enjoying but that's no diss on Pho 39. We'd be back if we're back in this 'hood. read more

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 read more

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. read more

I visited Pho 39 for dinner recently. The service was okay. The inside of the restaurant was fine. The pho was good. The meat was good, there was plenty of herbs and the broth was average. I wouldn't go out of the way to visit again but the meal was good. read more

Pho 39 is one of those rare gems that instantly reminds you why authentic food matters. I ordered their #15 pho with round eye steak and flank steak, and it was incredible--the broth is rich, layered with flavor, and clearly made with care. One of the best bowls of pho I've ever had. Pairing it with their Thai iced tea was the perfect balance--sweet, creamy, and refreshing. But it's not just the food that makes Pho 39 special. The atmosphere has this unique charm--warm, inviting, and unpretentious. It feels like a place built for people who truly love food and want to feel at home while enjoying it. And the employees? Genuine, kind, and clearly proud of what they serve. That alone makes the dining experience unforgettable. If you're craving authentic flavors, a cozy ambiance, and the kind of service that feels real, Pho 39 is the place you'll want to keep coming back to. read more

I had the beef pho and it was so flavorful!! I also really enjoyed talking with the staff and the Vietnamese music. What a lovely solo dinner read more

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!!!! read more

Dark environment! Unreasonable price! Smells bad! The wall is full of stickers which is gross! Don't go there unless you have no options.

Good spot for bánh mi and pho! The staff has a casual, friendly attitude, though the conditions of the entryway are run down, the food is consistently high quality. read more

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. read more

When I walked in here, it was completely empty! After eating I could not understand why. First of all, the service was a 10/10, both ladies that helped me were incredibly kind! I ordered the beef vermicelli bowl and it was quite delicious. It was a huge portion too, I had to pack up the rest to go! At the end of the meal, one of the ladies even offered to make a a viet coffee to go! Which was amazing as well. I would definitely go here again. read more

sadly, i did not have a positive experience here, in spite of the kind and friendly service. i forgot to pack my lunch for school, so i popped into Phó 39 for an order of fresh pork rolls in between classes. after i ordered, i waited at a table while reviewing my notes for class. once the server brought my order out, i stood and started packing up my stuff to leave. just as i was about to walk away from the table, i saw a roach come up from under the table somewhere and skitter across the tabletop. i was in shock and wasn't sure of what to do. i've never seen anything like this before. i was on a tight schedule, so i just left without saying anything or requesting a refund. after doing some quick research on the walk back (to school to see if my food could still be safe to eat), i found it best to toss my rolls in the trash. it's really unfortunate since this is the closest restaurant to my classes, but i won't be returning. read more

quick, easy to order, nice communication, clean environment!! me and my boyfriend were talking like super duper loud in there and they didn't mind at all. love the staff ! read more

Pho 39 - Inside of restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This place had the best pho in town when they opened several years ago with new ownership. The pho broth was rich and so much better than Pho Oregon/Da lot/ Kim.... The menu options had fatty brisket, which is now missing. Now, the pho is very different. It tastes like Quoc Viet instant pho. Now, there is nothing special about the broth. It tastes like it comes from a package. The owner, the man, is a little overly aggressive when he takes your order. He'll get really close to your table and intensely making eye-contact while asking you if you're ready. Yesterday I went in with a friend and ordered a special vermicelli bowl. All the meat was very tough and tasted old like it had been cooked from a frozen state. So sad. It was such a luxury to stay in this neighborhood instead of driving all the way out to 82nd for good Vietnamese food. read more

Casual pho place, quiet on the day I went but service was friendly and quick. I ordered the lemongrass beef vermicelli bowl. I have had many vermicelli bowls before and this was not what I would expect. I expected a grilled piece of flank steak or similar and the pickled veggies, fresh greens and peanuts. What I got was the vermicelli which honestly looked and tasted like spaghetti noodles not vermicelli and a stir fry of beef, cabbage, onions and broccoli on top with some greens and the fish sauce. I was very disappointed and the flavors did not go together and it made this usually light meal very heavy and it did not work. I did not eat more than a few bites. The beef was thinly sliced in the stirfry and dry. It overall was just not great. I might come back to try the pho or other high rated dishes read more

I work right across the street from this place and hadn't tried it for years until yesterday. I had the tofu Pad Thai. It was pretty good actually. The guy in there was super friendly. It doesn't look like much fun the outside, but by the time we were done eating, the place was packed. The guy there was so friendly though, it makes me want to go back! Try it out! read more

Man this place was GOOD. Not only was the tofu Banh mi out of this world, but the vegan pho actually made me a fan of pho (after poor/lackluster experiences elsewhere). It was so incredibly flavorful. Most definitely will be coming back and telling others. The owner was also a really, really nice guy. read more

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. read more

This place used to be Pho Jasmine, and I used to go there a lot when I lived nearby. I hadn't been there since it changed to Pho 39. But my daughter and I went the other day and first of all, Great customer service! The building is an older building and the inside is okay, pretty empty, and then a few people started coming. Classic Vietnamese decorations. The food is amazing, the beef banh mi was sooo good. And the pho was flavorful and warm and really healed a hangover. lol- but they had the best noodles in the pho. I need to find out what kind of noodles they use specifically so that I can get them when I make Pho at home. I've never had a super thin pho noodle like that and they had the perfect texture and chewiness and seemed to hold onto the broth. I also had some veggie egg rolls; those were also really good. I will always go back there. Like they say, some of the best Pho restaurants end in a number. lol I wish I took pics but we were too into the food. read more

Love this spot for their affordable and delish Bahn Mi. Came here with a friend a couple weeks ago and was impressed by the quality of their sandwiches and fresh rolls. It is a new restaurant and is very unassuming from the outside but is super yummy on the inside. Their Bahn mi costs 7-8 bucks which is the best prices I have seen in a long time. Great for a quick snack or sit down for Pho. Will definitely be coming back for their beef Bahn mi. Super kind staff as well!! read more

Had the Pho Tai (I forgot what it was called on the menu, I think it was "Soup with beef rounds".). Tasted delicious, was made quick, and service was friendly. Love the atmosphere and definitely will be stopping in again. Lived the last 15 years in places with Pho on almost every corner and this place holds up. Seriously good. I was hungry and ate it so fast I forgot to take a picture! read more

Best banh mi in town. Always empty, music rips. Pho 39 dishes out spectacular food and impeccable vibes.

The vegetarian pho was excellent! Lots of veggies and tofu. The service was quick and friendly.

Friendly people, good customer services and great food! Chicken pho and Beef stew were very delicious and their shrimp salad rolls!

I went here service was great food was great but i got something to-go that was ok. Pho was amazing bahnmi was mid.

This place makes really good classic Vietnamese dishes. If you want authentic and tasty Vietnamese food, I can vouch that their pho (I ordered #15) is good as well as their vermicelli noodle bowls. Very friendly service as well. I will say, it is not the prettiest restaurant and has a hole in the wall vibe but if you care more about excellent food and good service than looks, I recommend this place read more
