This place has become my comfort food place. Each soup is made daily with fresh noodles and broth and you can taste it. I look forward to trying each days unique soup options. This family run spot makes you feel like one of the family. I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite if I tried but the Wednesdays Hû Tiẽu Bó Kho is a must try along with there Bó Bia.
Tried Annam VL for their Wednesday specials and really enjoyed it overall. Food: Bo Kho (4.5/5): Excellent beef stew. The broth was rich, thick, and deeply flavorful, with a nice balance of savory and sweet. The meat was very tender and soaked up the flavor perfectly. It’s hearty and satisfying, especially on a cool day. Bánh Mì (3/5): Pretty standard. The bread was fresh and crusty, but the filling was light and could use a bit more flavor or sauce. Service: Quick and polite. Everything came out warm and fresh. Ambiance: Simple and casual spot, good for a quick meal or takeout. It can get busy during lunch hours, but the turnover is fast. Parking: Street parking only, but usually not hard to find a space nearby. Overall, a solid midweek stop with great Bo Kho and friendly service. I’ll definitely come back to try more of their menu.
Chef An and his team never disappoint. Today I tried a dry soup for the first time and it’s now going to be my Friday tradition. So damn good, highly recommend this family business!!
We got pho and some rice wrapped appetizers. They were ok. The bean sprouts smelled a little stale but they changed those for us up on request. The ingredients didn't seem fresh but were passable. We definitely had better ones elsewhere in Portland. I honestly do not understand the top rated reviews. Maybe we came on a bad day (Saturday lunch). They were busy but it's not like they had a line. The service was surprisingly slow for a place with limited menu options and pho, which typically have their broth ready. For comparison, we went to Rangoon Bistro and despite being busier and having a larger menu, we were served our first dish within 5 minutes. I'd say this place has potential but a pity we didn't get to experience it at its best.
This place is a fantastic place for high quality Vietnamese Pho and Soups. Please be ready and aware that they rotate their Pho/Soups by day of the week. This allows them to make each dish as fresh as possible and with as much flavor as possible. They do a have a good list of appetizers that will be there regardless of the day. Two appetizers will can be one person own meal. The Bahn Mi is really tasty and fresh and a reasonable side. The two soups my wife and I had were some of the most rich and flavorful Viet Soups we've ever had. The Chili oil is really really really good but be careful because it will hit you with a dry back of the throat burn. You won't feel like your mouth is on fire but if you overdo it you will be coughing like crazy. I highly recommend coming to this place the staff are super nice and caring about. They want to make really good food and share it with people. All the meats, meatballs, and viet cured meats are super tasty and high quality. Best I ever had in Portland.
