Whenever someone visits Portland and wants food spots, I always recommend Pho Hung. The staff is quick and kind, the atmosphere is comforting and familiar, and I've never had a bad meal there. Above all else, my favorite thing about this spot is recognizing the familiar faces of people who have also made this restaurant their go-to pho spot. Cannot recommend this place enough. Honorable mention for fun merch available for purchase.
Visited on a dark rainy night when we were craving hot noodle soup. This place did not disappoint! First off, they have a lot with ample parking. Thank goodness we didn't have to walk in the rain. We were seated immediately; the restaurant was nearly full. They also have a bustling takeout business. We tried #2 and the super bowl. Both were served HOT with fresh veggies. Exactly the bowl of comfort we were looking for! Even though they were busy, the servers were very attentive and tables were turned over quickly. A little on the pricey side, but the bowls were large and delicious. We would return!
It's difficult for me to declare any one Vietnamese restaurant is my favorite because there are so many great places in Portland, however, Pho Hung is definitely at the top of my list. This place has been my go-to with out-of-town guests and family celebrations for years... so hopefully that gives you an idea of how consistently wonderful Pho Hung has been in my life. The Powell Blvd location was recently renovated, so the dining room is warm and inviting. There are a fair number of seats to choose from, so lunch hour usually doesn't require any kind of wait for a seat. The staff are quick and courteous, and food is always delivered to the table in just a few minutes. I'm always impressed with their service. Powell Blvd is a really busy street, so please be careful when entering and exiting the parking lot. Visibility is limited when exiting west from the parking lot.
Visiting from LA. Our friend loves it here. She's a regular. I'm not a Pho fan. I've only had it 3 times and it was always a bad experience for me. Being that my friend was so excited I didn't want to tell her I wasn't a fan. This Pho restaurant is huge. Lots of tables. It was packed, which showed me how popular they were. That was a good sign. Service was great. Very attentive and fast service. Got our order in as soon as we sat. Didn't take long for our food to come out. I ordered the #11 large. Boy did I feel relieved once I tried their broth here. I was pleasantly surprised how great it tasted. They make their own homemade chili sauce. Their chili sauce is outstanding. I added that to my Pho and I was a happy camper. I finished my entire bowl. The meat and noodles quality were great. 10/10 overall dish. This place has definitely changed my perspective for Pho.
I don't usually eat pho at restaurants because I'm so used to my mom's pho, but the pho I had here was surprisingly good! The broth was flavorful and I didn't really need to add hoisin. We came right before closing and they were able to accommodate us. Because we ordered pho, our food came out fairly quickly. We finished the whole bowl; we were the last to dine in, but left before everyone else lol. We would definitely come back here next time we're in Oregon!
Service is 10+ stars from the moment you walk in! You can smell the broth from the parking lot and it's as good as it smells! Portions are a good size and we left super full! We drove across town based on other reviews we saw online and trust me it is well worth the drive. Don't hesitate and just come on over! We will definitely be back on our next visit to Portland!
This is some GREAT pho. Family run, authentic. It's a little pricey, but it's a big bowl. The complimentary tea is a nice touch.
This is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Portland. The place is spacious and clean, the service is super speedy and the food "Oh my God" is super delicious and authentic.!!! We always order the pho with all the fixings.
My favorite pho spot in Portland. Both their beef pho and chicken pho are so good and comforting - perfect for the Portland weather. Food comes out really quick and their menu has a lot of options for everyone. Their vermicelli is really good too.
It has been awhile since I've been back here. Not much has change, as the food still comes out piping hot and fairly quick. Its a place to get some good quality pho. I like that you can be in and out of here in less than 30 minutes if you wanted to.
Really delicious pho broth with fresh tender brisket and veggie ingredients. They've got lots of parking, lots of seating inside, nice and clean space, has beef stew + French bread on the menu (my sis is going to love this place), their service is really good and attentive, and they serve complimentary hot tea! What more can you ask for? New favorite pho spot in Portland.
Vietnamese American classics prepared with care. Delicious Pho and barbecued pork and shrimp served with rice or rice noodles. Service was fast, friendly and efficient!
This spot is authentic as it gets!! The broth wasn't excessively oily or salty. The extra side of tendon I ordered was a great value and sooo tender!!! Portland has many gems, but this one takes the cake. Or should I say pho. worth a stop, for sure. Locals and travelers alike.

This place has the best Broken rice by far! I had just moved to Portland 3 weeks ago from Puyallup, Washington and based on the high versatility of culture around the area, I was on the hunt for Com Tam. We were brought here based on my MIL suggestion and let me tell you! The food was amazing! The environment was great and clean. The bathroom was also clean as well! My fiancé had ordered Pho and I had ordered number 41, the broken rice dish. 10/10! We also order a side of egg rolls and they were crispy and flagrant and very well seasoned! The pork chop that came with my dish was tender, I was able to cut it with my spoon and the shrimp wrapped in tofu and fried was probably my favorite! The dish also comes with shrimp as well that was delicious all by itself. We had also ordered the Vietnamese Coffee- boy did that have my heart racing, but oh tasted sooooo good! Highly recommend to anybody looking for some Pho and rice dishes! Also they are CLOSED on THURSDAYS! read more
Solid, but mixed results across the menu. Pho Hung on Powell is a long-standing Portland staple, so expectations were decently high, but our visit ended up being a mixed bag. * Rice Plates (Cơm Tấm): * The Grilled Pork, Shrimp, & Crispy Tofu Skin plate was easily the highlight. The pork had a great char, the shrimp were grilled well, and the crispy wrap added a nice textural crunch. Steamed broccoli was a fresh addition, and the side broth hit the spot. * The Pork Chops with Shredded Pork Skin (Bì) & Egg Meatloaf (Chả Trứng) plate was decent, though a bit average compared to other spots nearby. The flavors were fine, but nothing particularly stood out. * Noodle Soup: The spicy beef noodle soup had a rich, deep color and a generous amount of fresh herbs and onions, though the broth lacked a bit of the punch and depth of flavor I was hoping for. Overall: It's a convenient neighborhood option with generous portions and fast service, but given the quality of Vietnamese food along Powell and 82nd, it lands right in the middle for me. Good, but not quite a standout. read more
This has been a go-to spot for my boyfriend's family, who first introduced me to it, and we've been coming back together consistently for the past two years. In my opinion, this is the best-tasting pho in Portland. The broth is incredibly rich and full of depth, with a flavor that keeps you coming back for more (and honestly wishing the portions were even bigger, despite being satisfying). Every visit has been consistent, and this time was no exception. The service is always quick and efficient, which makes it an easy and reliable choice. The pricing is normal, for the quality and portion size, and they're generous with the meat, which is nice, because recently places have been stingy. This is a spot that is comforting, flavorful and convenient we keep returning to for years to come! Thank you Pho Hung! read more

Sorry but this is hands down best PHO in town!! Hot days or cold days this is just always a great idea and just soothes your soul!!! Clean amazing broth with fresh good food but the quick effective helpful service is the topper!! Highly recommend!!! FYI don't sleep on the fried shrimp paste roll in tofu skin!! read more
I was in the area and since it was so cold, I was craving some pho and heard about this place, so I thought I'd check it out. We were greeted and seated as soon as we entered the restaurant and the smell as soon as we walked in was insane! I ordered the rare steak pho and my husband ordered the bánh mi bó kho, which was a spicy beef stew. The pho was one of the best I've ever had but the bánh mi bó kho was literally the BEST soup I've ever eaten. It was spicy and flavorful and so delicious! The prices are good, the service is good. I'd definitely recommend and come back if I was ever in the area again! read more

Once I opened the doors, we were helped to a table and provided waters and menus immediately. The table already comes with all the condiments you need to hoisin sauce, sriracha, pepper, fish sauce, as well as utensils such as the spoon and chopsticks. Also, this place makes their own chili oil... and it is out of this world. It is very flavorful and not too spicy, I put it on everything. I even dipped my bean sprouts in it when I was waiting for my pho. Anyways , I ordered #17 which is pho with rare stake and got the #24 which is their salad roll, it comes with shrimp and pork but I just got shrimp only. Peanut sauce was perfect, and I love how they put chopped peanuts on top. The pho broth was super hot, plenty of greens, and meat as well. It was very flavorful, no need to add any additional condiments in there. I also ordered the avocado smoothie (not pictured) and it was so creamy and perfect amount of sweetness. Service was great and food was delicious! read more

I have been going to this restaurant since I was 3 years old and my grandpa has been going for decades. The pho is unmatched, every single time we go it's consistent and tastes amazing.The rice dishes are always good as well, meat is cooked to a T. Food is always hot and FRESH. The workers are kind, quick, and efficient. I've never had bad customer service here, nor have I ever had to wait for a table. (Food comes out in 10 minutes or less.) Lastly, the owner who knows my grandpa well, noticed he hadn't come in for a week. My grandpa was in the hospital and Ben sent me home with a free soup and rice to take to my grandpa. This place can't be topped, nor can the employees. read more

I had disappointing Pho somewhere else yesterday and had to come to Pho Hung to get great Pho. I could really taste the amazing difference with the Grassfed Beef Pho here. Grass fed beef bones used to make the best broth in Portland with Grassfed Beef toppings of course. For health conscious Portlanders, why go anywhere else! This Pho Hung location is highly recommended by my Vietnamese dentist and my Japanese chiropractor, both who are Asian foodies. This evening, 3 different staff members checked in with me, to make sure I had ordered. The ambiance is filled with laughter from other large groups of customers. The background music is quiet enough that people can have conversations. Clean and simple, regulars feel comfortable. Two parking lots are easy to access from Powell. Wheelchair access is easy. Open daily except Thursdays. Come check it out! read more
Kinda millennial grey viet place (lol) with super quick and attentive service! I ordered the bho ko with French bread and it slaaapped. Bread was perfectly toasted, crunchy on the inside and sooooo fluffy and soft on the inside. You know the bread is crisped when you have cuts on the top of your mouth by the time you're done LOL. The soup was flavorful, and they give a super large chunk of meat. I would take a bite of the beef, put the piece down, drink some soup, go to pick up the beef again, but I'd always end up picking up a new piece of beef lol. I just wish they gave some more of the other toppings. Only one carrot?? I love stew carrots All in all, super solid place. Not a lot of places serve bho ko either, so I really enjoyed that read more
I can't say enough good things about pho hung, they're the original pho restaurant in Portland. They been opened since 1990 and I'm sure every Asian kid who has grew up in Portland knows this is a staple/OG. We love coming here on rainy days and so glad they were open this Christmas Day! The pho comes out piping hot and QUICK! Everything is so fresh and once you take that first sip it hits the soul. They definitely don't skimp on the meat like other pho restaurants do and the prices are very reasonable. If your adventurous, try the Super Bowl it's a little bit of everything and if your like my husband you can't go wrong with pho tai. Happy pho eating y'all! read more
I have tried so many different Pho restaurants and can say without a doubt Phõ Hung on Powell Blvd has the best Phõ restaurant in Portland. The broth is the best, so flavorful, and the meat is always tender. They have great customer service and are always pleasant. The restaurant has plenty parking space,indoor seating, and everyone's always happy making the ambiance nice. read more
So, so many pho options! I had such a hard time deciding but I ended up choosing one of them and added additional meatballs. They had a lot of options for vegetarians/vegans also. The pho for our table of 4 came out super quick, probably less than 10 minutes and it was steaming hot. We found all our bowls delicious, I totally ate the entirety of mine lol. The interior was huge and spacious, pretty casual atmosphere so a great spot for a quick pho fix :) read more

Yum. Really yum. I ordered the bun Bo hue and it was packed full of meats and noods. And the portion sizes of these bowls are insane. Would definitely come back and try something different or the same. read more

I visited Pho Hung with my mom while we were visiting from LA. The food itself was good, and I initially left with a positive impression. After paying at the counter, I left a tip on my card and then returned to the table to leave an additional cash tip. As my mom and I were walking to our car, the female employee who had been tending to our table ran outside and asked if we had paid. We told her yes. Moments later, the second female employee the one who had just charged me also came outside and questioned us again, only to realize she may have charged the wrong table after I told her I had just paid her. Although this was clearly a staff error, I was stopped twice and made to feel as though I hadn't paid. I then had to return inside in front of other customers, which was uncomfortable and unnecessary especially since everyone was looking by the scene the two female workers created. When I went back in, the employee who had been tending to us was no longer present, and the employee who charged me was left to handle the situation on her own. I advised her to charge me the difference in which she said she didn't know how and said she needed to refund me and charge me again entirely. During this process, a male employee stood closely over the interaction, which added to the discomfort rather than helping resolve it. In the end, I paid the correct amount, but the experience shifted from positive to disappointing very quickly. I also asked for the tip I had left back and did not feel comfortable leaving another, which says a lot given how the visit started. Being questioned multiple times, brought back inside, and made to feel at fault despite having already paid left a lasting impression. Because of this experience, I would not recommend this location. Situations involving payment should be handled with accuracy and discretion, and the lack of both here reflects poorly on the overall level of service. read more

This was my first time and I can argue that it was one of the tastiest pho experiences I've had in Portland so far! We came here on a Monday around noon and didn't expect it to be busy - there is a parking lot but it was full and a lot of the tables inside were occupied. We got seated immediately and right after the server took our order, our food came out so quick! We didn't even have a full conversation before the food emerged! Wow! And it tasted so good! I am usually a fan of the Pho Hung on 82nd, but this might be a top contender! read more

We've been looking for a go-to Pho spot and I think I've found it! We decided to go with small bowls and it was the perfect amount for this night. But I will be going for the bigger size now that I've tasted how delicious it is. The broth was flavorful, warm and simply delicious. Noodles were perfect and all of the toppings tasted fresh and refreshing. It was a busy night and upon arrival we waited about 5 seconds before getting seated! Server was friendly and brought us everything fast. I also love the homemade chilli sauce that they have. We got the #11 & #18. The steak and brisket in my dish were absolutely perfect! Will be back as soon as possible! read more

I always have a great experience here. It's your traditional Vietnamese family restaurant with plenty of seating and very friendly staff. They great you when you walk in and work to get you seated as quickly as possible. I absolutely love their beef pho with steak and fatty brisket. The Vietnamese ice coffee is sooooo delicious. read more

Word on the street, they're reopening March 18, and now I must word this as a question to be published, so what's your favorite item on the menu?
Special Pho with a side of French bread.
Has it reopened yet?
I was just told that the remodeling sign is down but the business isn't open yet. I saw Ma ma…
Are they remodeling? For the love of Pho. Please be under remodel.
Several of the Pho Hung staff are working at Pho Kim on 82nd. We just spoke with Fung (one of the waiters from PH) and she said that Pho Hung will be opening in January 2019.
