    Had the #42 pho. Delicious broth, noodles and steak were prepared perfectly. One of the best pho I've had out of several I've tried. Definitely recommend the pho! Service was quick since the restaurant was pretty empty. Lovely ambiance, peaceful music and waterfall sounds in the background.

    Friendly ambiance, helpful service and good, fresh food. They have a flavorful vegan broth in their veggie pho.

    There's just something about Pho that makes me very happy. I ordered my first bowl 25 years ago, and it's been a favorite treat ever since. I've eaten at many of the Vietnamese restaurants in Portland and I have my favorites, but honestly, sometimes convenience is all it takes for me to choose one over another. Pho Gia rates highly for a number of reasons. The restaurant is very centrally located on NE Sandy in between Hollywood and downtown, so it's never very far from the areas I frequent. Pho Gia has a pleasant vibe, is clean, and the waitstaff are generally pleasant. The food is always served very quickly, and I've never been disappointed with my meal. In fact, they have some of the best fresh herbs and garnishes I've ever been served in a Vietnamese restaurant before. Their hot chili oil with fermented soybeans is ridiculously good. I'm not sure if they make it in-house, but I always use it generously when I dine here. Parking can be a bit of a pain. There is a small parking lot around the corner that has 15 spots that are shared with other local businesses, and there are several spots in front of the restaurant on the street. There aren't many Vietnamese restaurants with outdoor seating in Portland, so I really appreciate the picnic tables on the sidewalk. It's a nice convenience when I want to take my dog out to dine with me. Pho Gia sits solidly amongst my Top 10 favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Portland. Though I've not sampled many of the other dishes they offer, my friends and family have always provided positive feedback.

    A little about me, I am passionate about creating consistent ratings of restaurants and books, so when I rate something 5 s, you know it's 5 worthy. In order for me to give out 5 s, this restaurant has to become THE restaurant for me for that type of food - so for example, if I'm wanting Italian this is THE first place that comes to mind. So with that, I am happy to say that Pho Gia is THE place for Pho for me in the Portland area. Pho Gia has a large seating area with tons of 4-6 top tables, perfect for a family dinner or a gathering with friends. The service is always super fast and the staff is very friendly and willing to answer any and all questions you have. The pho comes out very quickly and has the most perfect warm, comforting, and savory broth. Add in your favorite toppings or spice it up a tad and dive right in!

    Haven't been to this place in a while. Met a friend today for lunch. A bit cold inside--was the first impression. We had salad rolls (okay peanut sauce), and two bowls of steaming Pho. My friend got a iced tea. Fair prices (Pho Tai 14$ and salad rolls $7.50). Don't recall the tea price, sorry. Stand out here is the broth, not too sweet and the noodles are Al dente! Lots of options on the menu for gluten-free and veggie-friendly. The chili oil (see pic) is a hit! Crunchy, sweet, sour and spicy! Totally made in-house. I'll be back, but not great for a date or group, lacking in service and ambience, but good food, feel me?

    I stopped in this spot mid afternoon one day. I was the only one there, which could be a bad sign. As far as my experience, this place was phenomenal. The staff were nice and quick to make it all happen. I ordered the veggie Pho and an iced coffee. WOW! I was not disappointed. The coffee was delicious and in a fun glass. The pho was plentiful and fresh. I liked the veggie pho. I can't speak to any meat dishes for this spot. You should give it a try.

    My first time here, just saw it driving home and thought a bowl of pho' sounds good!I ordered the special bowl super size with tendon and tripe. The price is $20.00 more than most places but it was very good the garnish plate had really fresh basil and two other types of greens. The broth is some of the best I've had not salty and really rich. Overall I really liked it and would go back again. The only negative I can think of is that the water had no ice and was room temperature so that was a turn off

    Alyssa S.

    The employees are so nice and welcoming, THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.. 10/10 I walked in and ordered my food and it was hot and ready within 7 minutes of being there. The lady was super nice to my son and gave him some candy while he waited. Everyone seemed very helpful and very very nice. I will be a frequent customer from now on with the experience that I had today. Me and my son will definitely be coming here from now on. I ordered the Ox tail Pho number 44 and added a few things! This is the Super Bowl that feeds 2 people.

    35. Pho Brisket and Meatballs

    Food was amazing here would definitely come back. Got the pho brisket and meatballs. Food came out in less than a minute. Would highly recommend this place for anyone craving a bowl of pho!

    Sat me down on a dirty table...
    Esther K.

    Not sure if I caught them on an off day but I had the worst experience here. It was very slow when I walked in, two parties in there, but it took the server 10 minutes to acknowledge me waiting by the door. He finally sat me down on a dirty table with a half cup of water sitting on it. He never cleared it. Service continued to be slow even though the place was dead and the food was just ok. When I was ready to pay, I couldn't find the server anywhere, leaving me waiting for 10 min again! I've never had service so bad. There are so many good Vietnamese restaurants in Portland, literally go anywhere else.

Khao Moo Dang Pi-Set (5/5): Upgrading to the Pi-Set is worth the extra $3, which comes with all the standard options plus extra eggs, juicy dumplings, tender yu choy, and a side of bone broth. The five-spice pork is super tender and tastes very similar to char siu. The pork belly had a great crunch and was perfectly salty, which contrasted well with the sweet Chinese sausage. The dumplings are really juicy and justify the upgrade on its own, in addition to complementing the side of bone broth. Everything ties together when coated in their signature Khao Moo Dang sauce, which rounds out the rich meats with the perfect amount of sweetness. Logistics Tip: Takeout packaging holds up well, keeping the crispy pork belly from getting soggy on the ride home while ensuring the broth stays piping hot. Upgrading to the Pi-Set version further improves an already generous meal into an expansive dish that can easily satisfy a huge appetite.

As their name denotes, their noodles are hand-pulled. While their menu is limited, this just means that they can focus their efforts on creating quality dishes. For only $14, the beef noodle soup is quite reasonably priced, and actually a full meal. I've had an experience with a food cart in the past where the portion size did not reflect the price point, but not here. The beef noodle soup here is on par at what you'd get at a sit-down restaurant. It's packed with tender beef, plenty of noodles, veggies, and a piping hot broth. Chili oil was unnecessary, as it already came with some on top. The broth itself was clear, yet still had the correct spices that beef noodle soup is known for. This food cart was pretty popular. Other patrons were ordering some of the dry noodle dishes such as the noodle salad or dan dan noodles. Everything from their kitchen looked so good, but as a soup kinda gal, I'm glad I ultimately went with the beef noodle soup. While I cannot speak for the flavor profiles of the other dishes Stretch the Noodle has to offer, from my experience enjoying the beef noodle soup, it's safe to say that I was very happy with my lunch and would love to return to this food cart the next time we visit PDX. Additionally, as I try to be eco-conscious, my food was served in a reusable container, which I saved after devouring my meal and washed instead of throwing it out.

    My husband mentioned wanting to try this place months ago and the hours of the cart have made it…read moredifficult to get to. I finally found a time to come by, and ordered a couple of dishes. I ordered the Biang Biang noodles for myself and requested mild spice. I love that you get to customize the spiciness because I was a little worried the chili oil noodles would be too spicy. The hand-stretched noodles have the best texture and the flavor was indescribable, honestly. One order was almost 3 meals for me (I don't eat big lunches) and the quality was unmatched. It's only been a week since I went to the cart and I've been craving it again ever since. I didn't even take a picture of my meal, I just dove in. The smell was just too tantalizing. My only complaint is that the hours make it difficult to get over there, but if I plan it right I can make it work and the food is well worth the effort.

Since we had our dog with us, we ordered everything to go and enjoyed it back at our hotel just down the street. Just a heads up if you're planning the same, there wasn't any outdoor dining available. Being from the SF Bay Area, one of the first things we looked for was Har Gow and Siu Mai, but they weren't labeled the way we're used to. After asking, we found out the Crystal Shrimp Dumplings are their Har Gow, and the Shrimp Siu Mai contains pork, which was exactly what we were looking for. We ordered two of each. We also ordered two Beef Chow Fun, Combination Fried Rice, Eggplant with Minced Pork, Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs, and three pear sodas. The dim sum absolutely hit the spot. The Har Gow and Siu Mai were well seasoned, nicely prepared, and exactly what we had been craving. The Beef Chow Fun was another winner. We were glad we ordered two because we found ourselves reaching for it more than the fried rice. The Eggplant with Minced Pork was also delicious. The eggplant was cooked perfectly -- tender without becoming mushy -- and the seasoning was right on point. I'm also glad we changed our order from the House Special Spare Ribs to the Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs. Unlike many versions, these weren't battered and fried, so the pork maintained a great texture while still being coated in a flavorful sweet and sour sauce. One unexpected favorite was the pear soda. It's made with Asian pear, so the flavor is much lighter and more refreshing than the sweeter pear sodas we're used to. The only hiccup? They're bottled with a traditional cap, and since we were staying in a hotel, we quickly realized we didn't have a bottle opener. Let's just say we got a little creative. One thing I really appreciated was that the staff noticed our large takeout order and packed it thoughtfully. They included six extra takeout containers, plenty of forks, chopsticks, and napkins, which ended up being incredibly helpful since we were eating in a hotel room with no paper plates or utensils. It's a small gesture, but one that definitely didn't go unnoticed. Overall, we were really happy with our meal. This place lived up to being on my bookmark list for over a year, and I'd happily come back the next time we're staying in downtown Portland.
