Unusual light fixtures added to the cool ambiance.
Timothy R.

Most Vietnamese or Pho restaurants I've been in have plain décor--just your standard café-style atmosphere. But people frequent those places to eat pho and don't care as much about the number of statues or paintings and aren't as picky about the service. That was the great thing about Pho Mekha. It's not your usual Pho restaurant; this place has some style. I loved the atmosphere. All the unique décor actually added to my dining experience. In addition, the staff was friendly and attentive. And, of course, the pho was fantastic. Big bowl, great broth, even b4 adding fresh basil and sprouts. Some of the best pho I've ever had. As a bonus, it's centrally located to many hotels, restaurants, and bars, and so, it's easy to find. I would not hesitate to return to Pho Mekha next visit to the wonderful river city of Astoria.

beef pho

Pho here was excellent; I got beef pho, and my family got chicken. This really hit the spot, since we had just driven in from Portland, and it was slightly drizzly and cooler than we expected. Service was pretty good, as was the hot tea, and the decor was unique and kitschy. Definitely recommend!

# 11 beef and rice place with kimchi
Daniel R.

You will not be disappointed! 5/5 very clean, feels like we're at home almost. Quick with the food, the beef had tons of flavor and was nice and crispy as well. Very nice and humble staff.

Vegan pho - soooo yummy! Perfect size to split
Rebekah M.

We love coming here for their vegan pho! So flavorful, environment is bright and tastefully decorated. Always seem to be served by the same guy, kind and funny soul. Appreciate spots like this! We got the pho and split it - love that it has minimal if no oils too-score!

Beef Stew - awesome!
Jon H.

What a great addition to Astoria! Truly authentic and amazingly good food and SO much more than just pho. I had the beef stew with a salted lemonade ( which was delicious) and can't wait to come back to work my way through the menu. The service is fast and friendly, the atmosphere calm and eclectic, and you would be missing out to pass this place by.

#31 The Master Soup - all the delicacies
William B.

After years of working in the Seattle Metro area, which is flush with great Asian restaurants, I retired here in Astoria. As much as I adore nearly everything in Astoria, it is sadly lacking great Asian options. Especially pho. Until now. I've been anxious to try out this new restaurant. I'm a purist, so it's beef pho with all the trimmings (tendon, tripe, flank) and a plate of lime wedge/jalapeno slices/bean sprouts. #36 on the menu is the ticket! As I was seated they politely brought out a pitcher of cool cucumber water (with a cucumber, yes). The pho did not disappoint! Fantastic broth, as good as my favorite back in Seattle! Yay! Noodles perfectly cooked. Yummy tendon and generous amounts of tripe. Absent from the table was chile paste and fish sauce, but the hoisin and 'cock sauce' (sri racha) was there. Prices were a little high; so that kept me from being adventurous and trying the wings or the spring rolls. And the special Vietnamese drinks were really expensive so I stuck with water. But I was absolutely delighted with the meal! It was PhoNomenal! (cmon, you knew that was coming) I'll be back, pho sure!

I have a new favorite restaurant in Astoria. Fantastic new pho restaurant. The menu has a lot more than just pho. There are lots of Vietnamese delicacies. So tempting that I can't say I've tried pho yet! Super bright, open space with lots of widows, and just amazing food. Friendly, personable staff. You need to go! It's so good!

This is what's left over when your belly is full of pho, and the leftover soup is a little too spicy because you put hot chili oil in it.

The food was very good. I very much liked my pho, and I think my mom liked her noodle dish as well. The ambiance or the music and the decor was very nice also. There was an interesting light at each table that depicted a different scene something I had never seen in any other restaurant. The service was also very good and staff was by our table almost every 3 or 4 minutes, it also helped that they were very busy so they had to walk around a lot. This seems like a new restaurant and I hope they are able to I guess make it or have success. I also liked the ice cold cucumber water with a large slice of cucumber in it.

Try tofu pho (with soup on the side)
Christina S.

The best Vietnamese place I've had in Oregon!! I love how they have an option for soup on the side. It was so flavorful. Very fun inside as well, great for date nights or family nights. I would come back here again to try their other dishes.

An absolute delight! Driving through during Astoria visit and saw Pho Mekha after a few site tours. Courteous welcome and given the option to seat anywhere available. Food is remarkable! Ordered fried rolls and the combo pho. Will return on my next visit with family. A must especially when craving something warm during the cold weather. Great Vietnamese food!

Saigon Deli - Saigon Deli pho smelled like the Astoria Dump. That's ironically where it will end up too.

Let me start by stating 2 facts…read more 1. I grew up right next to Little Saigon in Orange County, California which is home to some of the best pho outside of Vietnam. I know good pho. 2. This is the WORST attempt at pho I have ever seen and the WORST food I have paid for in my life. It smelled like the Astoria dump. Opened the lid, I smelled that familiar scent of summer time rotting municipal garbage dump. I wretched. I still had to take one bite to make sure. It was unusually slimy and I spat it out. Immediately dumped it in the trash. My cousin didn't even bother taking a bite. He threw it in the trash as well. Also the egg rolls were not Vietnamese egg rolls. They were the kind you get at a cheap Chinese take out. You'd think a place that sells Vietnamese food would know the difference.

We saw two Asian ladies with big bowls of pho at a table and thought it must be good. It was cold…read moreoutside so we gave it a try. First bad sign was a no refund sign at the counter. Second bad sign was that nobody was manning the counter (had to yell for them a few times because they were in the back chatting). Third bad sign was that the Asian ladies had left while we were waiting for our food, having hardly eaten their pho. The pho is huge but also with a big price tag. It tasted horrible. We couldn't muster up but a few bites. I felt bad leaving it there but it tasted vomitous. Ack ack ack.
