Pork vermicelli
Emily K.

I've been coming to Pho Nguyen for decades now. Their chicken pho and vermicelli dishes are my favorites and go-to's. They redesigned their restaurant a while ago. It's a neighborhood comfort food staple. Please check them out!

I love the vermicelli bowls (not pictured) but today I got taro boba with extra boba and he hooked me up and it was so good

Menu

On a recent trip to Portland, we stopped in for some rainy day comfort food. They have an extensive menu but we were after the pho. There's one pho vegetarian option, P21, which features the typical rice noodles, with soft tofu, broccoli, carrots, cabbage and the typical plate of Thai basil, bean sprouts and raw jalapeños. It comes in a fairly large bowl at $17.25, or a smaller bowl for $16.25. The price is the same for their multiple other pho offerings that include beef or chicken. My friend enjoyed the P20, called chicken noodle. The broth was flavorful and the veggies crisp and fresh, though I would have preferred more vegetables and less tofu, which was cut into large, bland chunks. My friend said the chicken noodle pho was tasty. The staff was friendly and efficient, and our soup was served quickly. The dining room has a clean, quiet ambiance, and the restrooms are clean. Parking is available in their strip center lot, so you can get in and out quickly. They also package food for pickup. If I come here again, I'll likely try one of their specialty seafood noodle soups, which look heartier and are similarly priced at $19.00. Seemed a bit steep to pay $35 plus tip for two bowls of pho with just water to drink. I'd rate them 3-1/2 stars based on this first visit.

Pho Nguyen is a family favorite for authentic pho and other Vietnamese dishes. The food is delicious and great quality. Their portion sizes are really generous and are reasonably priced. The service is friendly as well. This is the spot I recommend to anyone looking for a good pho restaurant on the west side.

This is our new favorite place to have Pho! It's a bit of a drive from Hillsboro but it's so worth it! Besides the clean and flavorful broth, the portions are very generous with their meat and noodles. We also had the fried egg rolls, which were tasty. However, I do not recommend the salted lemonade which was way too sweet that I could not drink it. Service was fast, but not very welcoming, but overall we enjoyed the food which made up for it.

Chicken pho and green tea.

Drove 45 minutes out of my way to try this place and was served (meaning, steaming hot food in front of me) after 2 minutes! I ordered a simple chicken pho and was on the hunt for quality broth, which I thought was delish. It was lunch time but it was fairly quiet, even as people continued to come in, as it's just one big room. Excited to come back anytime I'm in the mood for filling, delicious pho. Thank you!

Fast pho. Old town, old decor, has not changed in years. Just the background sounds of slurps. Good portion. Vegetable Pho was just broccoli? Broth was not piping hot, egg noodles underdone. Service ~ quick, abrupt, want you in and want you out. Pricey. Maybe too fast.

Pho was good and tasted really clean. They also give you a lot of meat. The prices are a little bit cheaper than other places I've been to.

It's definitely a nice spot for dinner. The service was great, and our food came out pretty quickly. You order at the counter first, and they give you a number to take to your table. There's complimentary water and utensils available on the side, which makes everything pretty convenient. You can also choose to sit inside, outside, or get your food to go. We ordered the pho with steak and brisket, and it was delicious! We also got the vermicelli with pork, which had a lot of flavor. The portions are pretty generous, so the vermicelli would be great to share. Overall, we had a great experience at Luc Lac. If you're craving Vietnamese food, I definitely recommend checking this place out!

Let me tell you, if they had this place in Seattle, it would be poppin' for sure. Loved the decor, and the service was amazing. We were a party of 8, and they did the most to get us seated. They even combined two tables for us without too much wait. We appreciated this so much! This is one of those places where you order at the counter, and they bring your food to your table, although they also seat you. So you wait in line to order, and then you wait a little longer to get a seat. The menu is on a huge, lit-up billboard behind the counter, so you'll see folks crowded in that area trying to read it. The food was alright, no one was particularly blown away. I got a pho, and I would say it was okay. I think you come here more for the vibe and scratching that craving than for out-of-this-world food/flavors. The music is good, the servers were all super friendly, and it's a great vibe. Fyi, there's mostly street parking.

The egg noodle bowl on the top with fried chicken and tofu was phenomenal. The chicken was similar to fish sauce wings and the tofu was very caramelized and had a nice salty coating of sauce. The bottom was nem nướng and pork with the woven noodles. It was a very big portion, but the fresh herbs/veggies made it feel balanced. An order of spring rolls were also ordered, but wasn't in the photo. It was ordered with crispy pork belly. Based on some reviews, I was skeptical about ordering the pork belly, but I was pleasantly surprised. The skin was very crispy and you could hear the crunch from across the restaurant. The restaurant is very open with big windows, but I liked the concept of the open kitchen look. The service was really good. We ended up ordering pork belly and shrimp for our spring rolls and the worker politely came by and told us they were out of it. He was able to accommodate for it and was very kind about it. Even though you can order at the table with a QR code, the staff was very attentive.

It's a Vietnamese delicacy you can't find anywhere else in Oregon so I'm glad to have to a Portland restaurant to offer this. They give a plentiful amount of fresh herby veggies combo with fresh hot rice noodles alongside tender flavorful char siu and SUPER CRISPY pork belly! The staff are friendly and the store is extremely aesthetic, the interior has this spin on modern Vietnamese style of decorations. Great interiors that's won't disappoint your date. I absolutely recommend coming here for their niche Vietnamese food!

This place has the best Broken rice by far! I had just moved to Portland 3 weeks ago from Puyallup,…read moreWashington 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!

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.
