We were in the area and looking for dinner to go after a long day. In this shopping center, this was the third of three businesses that we visited. I walked in and then up to the counter. I placed an order for an Oxtail Pho and an order of Egg Rolls. I paid and then stepped aside and sat at a table to wait. I don't know if it was because I was tired, but I felt like I was being inconvenient for placing an order. When my order was ready, it was plopped down where I sat. I took it and left. As I was leaving someone thanked me for my business. We ate two of the Egg Rolls sitting at a table in front of another business. They were served with Fish Sauce and were delicious. Hot, fresh and crunchy. We took the other two and my Pho back to our hotel. When I opened the Pho, the soup was in one container and the noodles and oxtails were in another. Jalapenos, basil, bean sprouts and lime were in a plastic baggie. The flavors were good. The oxtail was cut in an unusual way but had the right flavors. Whoever packed my order failed to ask me or include utensils. read more

Lots of Portland pho places are pretty much pho 1st and a few filler dishes just to round out the menu. What I love about Pho Gabo is that the lesser known Vietnamese specialities really get a chance to shine here. These are items that a majority of Vietnamese places don't necessarily serve and can be quite rare throughout a the many pho restaurants we have in Portland. On this day I had the banh canh cua which is the crab udon noodle soup. Despite being a smaller restaurant with a lot of various dishes/soups....I was worried that the broths would taste "stale" since they might not have much turnover. However everytime I've dined at Pho Gabo this has never been a problem as if they cook everything regularly in small batches sorta like how Ha VL does it It was a very good rendition at BCC, especially for Portland only 2nd to my mom's version (no seriously my mom's version is S tier). Lots of crab and other ingredients like quail eggs, mushrooms, and a very very good pork loaf "cha." The cha here is really really good and that's saying something bc it's not something I gravitate to. My suggestion if you're new to Pho Gabo whether you are a beginner or veteran of Viet food is to stretch past your comfort zone and try something you've never had or don't regularly order and you'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

I was happy to discover this location close by in Clackamas County after Portland's inhospitable treatment towards their PDX restaurant. The cuisine is very fresh, plentiful and quite tasty with reasonable pricing. read more

I stopped by on my lunch break nearby and was helped immediately and allowed to order very quickly and food was out in less than 3 minutes even though the restaurant was bustling. The workers are very kind and heartfelt. I got a combination pho that included tripe, beef shanks, and meatballs and I just took off some points because I only had 1 meatball in my pho. Overall great experience and I will be back! read more

Don't go here. Got waters one had ice the other had hardly any aka they were sitting out on the counter. Ordered crab Rangoon's and they tasted like fresh fish. We ordered main dishes but was avoiding food posing. So we placed money on the table and left. The Coke we ordered wasn't even refrigerated and. We got 1/4 a glass of ice. Beware of this I've contacted osha read more

Wife came here before for a banh mi (big) and we decided to try dinner due to some interesting dish pictures on the wall. Language was an issue but just means I need to hone my viet skills. Hu Tieu/Pork Noodles - dry egg and rice noodles with soup on the side. Very good and not the easiest dish to find! Ga Len Mam - chicken on a plate. I loved it. Excellent presentation and chicken was amazing. They stay busy and I can get why. I think the language makes it hard for some customers, and led to some poorer reviews. Also Ga means chicken and Bo means cow. Look at the logo lol read more

Walked into a full restaurant where everyone was excitedly eating their food. The menu was amazing. A range of items for all palates. My toddler was excitedly picking one thing from each page. Her eyes were obviously bigger than her tummy. I ended up picking the pork noodles with both tapioca and rice noodles, kiddo got the lemongrass grilled chicken rice plate, A got the jumping beef with rice, and also got avocado and mango smoothies. Our party also got three types of rolls (salad and fried). A couple folx got the crab noodles and that looked soo good! Not me with order envy. Everything was so good! Amazingly flavorful broth, perfectly grilled chicken, and a sizzling beef plate with runny egg yolks. The toddler ate a couple salad rolls too! Love the cute lanterns strung up and the kiddos loved the little fish tank. The service was fast, efficient, and friendly. Crab noodle soup! I'm coming back for you next time. Please come support this amazing local business. They recently closed their Portland location due to inequitable fines they were unable to afford. Not only is the owner a humble and kind person. The food is soo good and worth the visit. read more

At first site of the menu, I didn't understand the high prices but good lord, the portions here are HUGE! My partner and I shared a large bowl of brisket pho and we had enough left over for dinner that night as well. We also ordered crab Rangoon and the grilled chicken salad rolls with peanut sauce. My partner proclaimed that the crab Rangoon was the best she's ever had and I can vouch that the spring rolls were absolutely amazing and perfectly paired with the peanut sauce. An absolute great spot to share your meal or even just have a hearty meal to yourself. Service was lightening fast as well! Highly recommend read more

If you're looking for Vietnamese food beyond Pho, this place is it. I got the bun rieu which is a crab forward soup! It was delicious. Rich broth, chunks of crab/pork meatballs, lemongrass stalks pressed throughout. Loved the plate of fresh veggies to go on the soup and bouncy tofu. We got an avocado and durian shake to go. We were so full, I had to take half the soup home and it heated well as leftovers. Service was quick and friendly here. Support this family owned business! read more

Excellent banh mi sandwiches. They were big, with warm crusty bun. Busy with local crowd, and friendly service.

I've been patiently waiting for this Pho Gabo location to open. It's now here and I am beyond elated. Opening week is 20% off as well. My Pho Gabo To-go order: -Filet mignon pho w/ extra meatballs -Pho with well done brisket & well done flank (pho chin & nam) Tip, If you're getting your pho to go... ask for them to please keep noodles uncooked, then when you get home, dip them in boiling water to your liking and then drain. Reheat your pro broth on the stove and then pour over your pho noodles. -Grilled pork salad rolls The Bo Kho, Vermicelli Bowls, Rice Plates, Viet Coffee, and Special Platters are also delicious. Go support! Yum. So glad they're in Happy Valley now. read more

Horrendous service tonight. My dad asked for two teas, and the server completely ignored him the first time. We thought she didn't hear him. But then, when she finally brought them over, she slammed them down on the table with such attitude and a mean mug on her face. It felt rude and honestly kind of disgusting, like we disturbed her just simply by existing. No smile, no words, just straight-up hostility. Food aside, service like this makes the whole experience uncomfortable. We won't be coming back. read more

This place is gross. The water that was given to me had been sitting out for a while. I could tell by the melted ice. The can of coke that was given to me was picked up off the floor and warm. The crab rangoon that I bite into was still a little frozen in the middle. The server was barely paying attention as I watched him fill someone's drink, that wasn't water, up with water. Rest of the food was just gross and sad. read more

Definitely one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Walked into a lot of patrons enjoying their meal. Beautiful lanterns hanging. Very friendly service. We met the owner who was so nice to talk to. Great bowl of pho tai and nam. Tried the fried pork spring rolls which were great. Great lunch spot for someone craving the real deal. read more

My son and I stopped by recently for dinner. The menu has some interesting soups that I hadn't seen in other Vietnamese places. It's a nice restaurant. I had a Crab noodle soup -- I wouldn't order it again -- but I'm glad I tried it. I bet I would have enjoyed the other types of Pho. read more

Cant vouche for the ambiance since i order take out, but the food is Awesome.They make some of the best salad rolls around and ive tried and I've tried lots. Anyway eat there you wont be disappointed their pho is awesome too and their takeout packaging is a+!!!! read more

Decided to pop in and try their pho. We ordered the pho chin and pho tai as well as egg rolls. The service asked if we wanted tea and water and we asked for both. The hot tea was good, very comforting on a cold, rainy night and a little precursor of what was to come. The pho was really good. Both cuts of meats were very tender and flavorful. The egg rolls were crispy, hot, and delicious. Service was great! read more

Third time trying Pho Gabo in the past year and always hoping it would get better. The staff is ALWAYA rude and judgy so that's 0 stars. Food is nothing special but we try to support local businesses. If the staff was pleasant we'd still go back. There are many other businesses who have better customer service. read more

Friendly and quick service. Clean restaurant. Broth was clean and flavorful. One complaint is I couldn't order a small veggie pho, so I had to get the regular and was too full to finish it. read more

I have not tried the other locations, but I'd imagine taste-wise, things should be exactly the same. I am so happy about the location of this place as there is no good or even decent Vietnamese restaurants in the Happy Valley area (in my opinion). Their chicken pho broth is really good, and I typically do not order chicken pho. Get their salad rolls, they are the best I've had at any restaurant in Portland! read more

Been waiting for this location to open for awhile and now they are finally open! Great service with delicious food. I been wanting to try their jumping beef over egg dish and it did not disappoint! The dish hit the spot and was so good. I will be back for it! You can't find that dish at many Vietnamese restaurants. The dish comes with your choice of bread or rice. I chose the bread and it went really well with the dish. read more

Great pho from here!. I just find it disrespectful to lie to the customers , telling them they're buying XL chicken pho just to get a regular size. I thought XL meant extra large not regular. Along with having to pay extra for veggies and the dish normally comes with veggies. Please let me know if their is a size difference with the picture displayed read more

Ordered take out from here after the Saturday lunch rush around 3 pm. Food took about 20 minutes to make. The restaurant was empty but clean when I arrived. I ordered: -Pork Chop Rice Plate ($16.95) - very generous portion size, easily made this into two meals, came with the standard white rice and side veggies. Flavorful but my pork chops were a bit on the dry side. -Grilled Pork Banh Mi ($8.95) - again great portion size on this, meat was tasty but I felt like there was a tad too much of the Mayo butter. -Vietnamese Iced Coffee ($5.95) - strong coffee with condensed milk, no complaints on this one! Overall wasn't totally impressed by this place but wasn't totally disappointed by this place either. I'd come here again mainly for how convenient it is to my place. My search for the best local Vietnamese restaurant continues! read more

Jumping Beef with TWO BAGUETTES? Love that. Very authentic Vietnamese ambiance. Don't mistake it for yelling and screaming. They just gotta communicate loud to get the orders right. The steak was cooked to a good medium. Cut it smoothly with my spoon. Eggs done right sunny side up. Lots of parking too! read more

What I liked best here are the 20+ pho options. No one has so many, and most other places have tripe and/or tendon in most of their meat options, which i don't care for. Do like the fatty brisket. The bowl is very aromatic, but the spices don't carry through in the soup. The regular size was quite big enough, good slug of noodles and fair amount of beef. Very good spring rolls. And very friendly service. read more

This place was recommended to me so I finally made time to try this place out. I ordered the bone in chicken pho and OMG why haven't I tried this place sooner? I was definitely missing out! The broth was amazing! It tasted really good. The chicken pieces were great as well. I usually add fish sauce in my pho but I did not need to here, it was perfectly salty to my liking. I'll have to try the beef pho next time I come back and that'll be soon. read more

I don't ever recall having pho that was so clean and crisp yet rich in flavor. Huge serving size and loaded with good cuts of meat.

The food is so great! I was lucky to be there on the rare days that James was working and his service is great. Why but sweet and I can tell he's proud of the food they service. Very authentic Vietnamese food (this is coming from a Vietnamese lady!) read more

This is hands down the best and most consistently delicious Vietnamese food in the area. Between the lemongrass chicken vermicelli noodle dishes to the phó, this small business gets it right every time we order. We are so grateful to have them in our neighborhood! read more

I ordered through Yelp online. They messed up my order this time, and gave me fried rice instead of lemongrass chicken over rice. The fried rice was made with the frozen pre-cooked chicken with artificial grill marks, Tyson or some brand. I picked up and left not knowing there was a mistake. They did not include any condiments or utensils or asked. read more

Excellent Vietnamese food. Tables are always spotless never sticky. The pho broth seems homemade and the beef is raw and thin and if stirred in cooks right away because the broth is boiling hot. Their ba mii sandwich is also excellent. read more

I just love this place. They always are happy and cheerful when you order and they always come by the table to see if all is well. I have had several things here but my go to is Mi Ga. It is a wonderful egg noodle soup with a crispy fried chicken leg quarter. I always get the chicken on the side to keep its crispiness. read more

Love the pho here and so glad they opened a restaurant in SE. The broth is clean and always consistent. The meat selection is excellent and have always been very fresh. The bowls are a good size. If I'm sharing a salad roll, I get a small pho or I am stuffed. The large is huge!!! The prices are on par to other pho places and very reasonable. The veggies are fresh and the sprouts are clean. Their salad rolls are great and so are their Bahn mi. The pork in the grilled pork is the same grilled pork in the vermicelli salad. Love the lemon grass grilled pork taste. Nice sandwich. We love this place! read more

Went for lunch and it was quite busy. The decor is nice and their menu has so many interesting dishes! I ordered the oxtail pho and the oxtail was a bunch of small pieces which was a bummer for the price point but the broth was flavorful. My boyfriend got the duck noodle soup and I enjoyed his more than mine. They had the duck on bed of cabbage salad with fish sauce and it was quite tasty! The broth was also flavorful and the noodles were good. Hot soup in this cold Oregon weather is perfect read more

Well, this review is my experience! You should come and see you may like it. 3 stars for This location is limited in the menu and food tastes are not original like the one in Portland.
