Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Travel Oregon, Portland Monthly, Willamette Week, and The Infatuation. Updated September 2026.
The Paper Bridge (Bún Chả Cầu Giấy) · Northeast
Willamette Week and The Infatuation both cover The Paper Bridge's Northern Vietnamese dishes, rarely seen in Portland: homemade rice noodles, a deep catalog of pho, and Hai Phong-style spring rolls stuffed with local Dungeness crab.
Luc Lac Vietnamese Kitchen · Downtown
Portland Monthly traces Luc Lac's 2011 downtown splash, an essential late-night destination under brothers Adam and Alan Ho, open until 4 a.m. Borderline-addictive Vietnamese street food, wildly creative cocktails, and comforting flavors courtesy of matriarch Le Ho.
HA VL Vietnamese Noodle Soup · Jade District
The Infatuation calls Ha VL the Vietnamese soup paradise to beat, a Jade District strip-mall spot with two rotating daily noodle-soup specials like mi quang. James Beard semifinalist chef Peter Vuong now stewards the kitchen; go early since soups sell out by lunch.
Phở Oregon Restaurant · Northeast
Many call it the area's gold standard, 22 styles of pho, tender beef.
Tan Tan Cafe & Delicatessen · Beaverton
A Beaverton deli opened in the 1990s when Vietnamese restaurants were still rare in the metro, now a neighborhood institution. The pho dac biet, loaded with multiple cuts of beef, anchors a menu that goes well beyond pho into deeper Vietnamese home cooking.
