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.

Unpleasant and short in her response. The food was not fresh due to low turnover inventory, but it makes sense when you don't think customer service matters- at least the vegetables were fresh, since they can't keep old vegetables. And, nothing came out hot, everything was luke warm. They closed the bathrooms, claiming it wasn't working and did not offered us another location. They spoke in Vietnamese regarding us not ordering anything yet, not sure if that's why they chained off the bathroom and not let us used it. They opened the chain when there were more customers. I hate to imagine if we were the only ones there, do we get to use the bathroom even if we were paid customers. They didn't realize that Oregon's A‑2 occupancy rules required at least ONE functional bathroom. I took video. There is no incentive to give customer service since they add 20% for service fees for group over 6 (or 5)..let this sink in a bit. Whether or not they provide service, they get 20% regardless. Our bill total was $375. If you come here expecting anything, don't! the meats tasted like freezer burn due to low turnover and the service doesn't exist. I came from a family that had a restaurant, we know that the customers are the backbone of a successful business, good food + good services = loyalist. We didn't leave because we had a large group to coordinate and we didn't want our 95yo mom to be hungry. We drove four hours to OR for a family get together to celebrate her birthday. Zero stars!

Over the years, I've brought friends and family here, talking it up enough that they're willing to make the journey with me. I always recommend the tofu vermicelli bowl. The fact that my tofu-skeptical father sang its praises after I made him try it is a testament to its flavor. I still think of it as the gold standard of tofu. I was recently in the area for the first time in 5 or 6 years and decided to go back to Vivi's with my mom. It was the first thing that popped into both of our minds-a real jinks moment. I was nervous that it wouldn't live up to our memory. Vivi's had moved around the corner from their old location-a cute, cozy little cafe-but their new restaurant is more spacious, hopefully to accommodate the flocks of diners that their food merits. I got the tofu vermicelli, which was exactly as I remembered, equally flavorful and generous in portion size for $15. My mom got the papaya salad for $5.50. I previously thought I didn't like papaya-I was mistaken. It was a unique and refreshing dish that I would 100% go back for. Vivi's food tastes fresh and nourishing and at the same time satisfying and rich. We were short on time and were prepared to have to take it to go, but our food was out in 10 minutes. I don't usually write reviews, but after so many great experiences over the years it felt long overdue. A small business that has maintained their quality at reasonable prices over the years deserves to be recognized with a recommendation. Give Vivi's a try!

Everything was delicious. The pork was tender and moist, the prawns were perfectly fried and not heavy. The best surprise was the egg flower soup. I was a bit cautious, cause it didn't look like there was a lot of egg in it, and there were small vermicelli noodles in it. I have never had egg flower with noodles. But let me tell you, the flavor was sublime. Such flavorful broth! Definitely the star of my order. I look forward to trying some of their main dishes next time I find myself in Chehalis.
