Pho Hung - Powell Blvd: Authentic Vietnamese Noodle Experience in Portland

This place was surprisingly fun. I chose this place based on reviews, how long they have been in business, and proximity to Airbnb. We walked in and were immediately seated. They moved some prepared food from our table to the next so we could be seated. A split second later, we turn to find waters and menus on our table. The place was full, staff were cutting limes in front of us at a back table, other staff were executing their roles in a very timely manner. It was like they were in sync with each other. It was organized chaos and it was entertaining to observe. They brought out a hot pot of tea. The large is much bigger than the small bowl of pho. It was very good! Lots of tasty meat. We didnt feel rushed but it did get loud as it got busier. I wanted a Taro milk tea but they were out. I appreciated that they explained how their tea is made and gave me a recommendation to a different restaurant to get my Taro. Their recommendation was good! We are just visiting, otherwise this would probably be a go to for us.

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.

Best pho in Portland that my roommates and I have found so far. Super quick service and today the sun was coming in at a sharp angle and one of the servers (didn’t catch his name) came and closed the blind for us. So kind! Unbeatable service and delicious food. My usual is the #17, my roomies like #1 and #51.

Tried their phở for the first time and I’m hooked! The broth is rich and clean, the meats are tender, and the noodles are the perfect amount. I loved how piping hot the bowl arrived. The kids enjoyed the brisket while I went for the tendon. The egg rolls are huge, crispy, and wrapped in rice paper with a crunchy cabbage filling. The prawns are big and perfectly cooked. I also grabbed a rice plate to go—shrimp paste in tofu, grilled shrimp, and pork were all delicious. Friendly staff and a packed weekend crowd seal the deal. Complimentary hot tea is a plus!! I’ll definitely be back!

Legit, the only place I'll go to for Pho. They have tons of options, great portion sizes, and when I ask for a side of onions to eat it Viet style, they know what I'm asking for. I get ONINNIONNSS. Plus most of the staff is really nice, but what makes it for me is the older gentleman who works there. He's always so friendly and remembers us because we've become regulars. I love this. It reminds me of home and living far away from my Viet family, it makes me feel so welcomed. This is what sets them apart. My husband says he recommends 37 and that it's bomb dot com. Vermicelli noodles are his thing and I can vouch, their noodles are guuuuud. Give em a try! Love it here! And also, did I mention free tea? NOW THATS WHAT IM SAYIN! In this economy, heo yeah. The only thing I don't recommend is the Chinese fried donuts. It's not fried enough and is always kinda soft.

I have been chasing the pho that I tried first for years and have always been let down, but this one hits the mark. This tastes like my favorite food of all time and I am stoked to have it near me. The broth is great and has some warming spice flavors that most broths don't and I really love. One of my top places in PDX for sure.

Pho Hung is one of my top favorite restaurant's in Portland. The Vietnamese pancake (called something else) is everything an American pancake is not. Hearty and delicious with fresh greens, so good! Be sure to get the Vietnamese Drip ice coffee.

Very friendly service. The lady asked us if we needed a highchair for our kids, and we said no, but she didn't just stop there and asked us if we wanted a booster seat. That was very helpful. The Super Bowl was fenomenal. I love it very spicy. Lately at other places I haven't felt much of heat in pho. This one got me breaking sweat. That's what I'm after and I got that satisfaction here. The bowl came with plenty of meat that was perfectly cooked. Vegetables were fresh. The servers kept checking up on us but weren't doing it in the intrusive way. Professional and respective. This place is definitely worth a visit and to come back to again
