Food was very tasty. But the portions were small and expensive. My wife and I spent $78 and still were hungry. The atmosphere is nice with an open kitchen.

Everything we had was out of this world and way beyond anything I was expecting. Try the A4 a cold noodle dish that has a huge mix of flavors so rich and smoked yet healthy and light. So good! try the desserts.. mind blowing!

Not Authentic and not even good. I was so flabbergasted by how bland everything was I decided to do a little research, and (I may be wrong) as far as I can tell this is a Vietnamese restaurant run by white hipsters. Now it all makes sense why it was so bad. View menu

Great place for Vietnamese food. Stopped in after seeing it on the NYT list of restaurants to try, and it did not disappoint. They were out of alot if menu items and there was very limited seating, but the food was fantastic. Would definitely stop in again next time I'm in Portland!

This is the best meal I've ever had! The menu is imaginative and the food is absolutely delicious. The service is excellent as well; they are quick to recognize the dishes, and I really appreciate the convenient pick-up window. It's our favorite restaurant in Portland. I wasn't surprised to learn that it has been nominated for a James Beard Award.

I was there on Sunday afternoon. I ordered spicy stir fry noodles but was not available after 3pm. I got broken rice with scallions on top along with fried egg, lemongrass pork, and side of lettuce pickles roots vegetables. It was good. I also cambodia sausage but has hair in it. I walked over to the counter to returned it but no apology. He did make me a new one. View menu

Although this restaurant has been recognized as one of the best in 2021 by NYT and received a James Beard award in 2020, the food doesn't live up to the accolades. The menu features an American, Chinese, and Thai fusion that intriguingly incorporates less common Asian ingredients and styles. However, the dishes are overwhelmed by excessive sweetness, salt, sauce, and oil, along with steep prices. While offerings like orange chicken may attract certain palates, they fall short of authenticity.

What a fortunate find on our road trip to Portland. We built our own rice plate (com tam) that has a base of pickled carrots/daikon, cucumber, rice with scallion oil, and a side of fish sauce (nuoc cham) and topped it with twice cooked pork butt/belly with lemongrass glaze (heo ham chien) and steamed pork/egg meatloaf (bot chien cai xoan). The pork was so juicy, smoky, sweet, and savory and was well complimented by the fragrant rice and sides. We waited less than 10 min for our order and enjoyed eating in their small, self-serve outdoor area. There is plenty of street parking and a bathroom for customers.

Good service, disappointing food. I should have trusted my intuition when making the reservation via their website, and they warn that customers will be “slapped” with a $20 fine per person for canceling within 7 hours. Phrasing, folks. Threatening your patrons is really not a good look to start out with. Where’s the respect and hospitality?Sadly, the food wasn’t worth the trouble of the aggressively stated cancellation policies. Three chunks of lamb in my $25 entree were literally unswallowable- I tried chewing for 2-3 minutes and they just kept going like gum. Ultimately, I had to spit them into a napkin. The rice that came with the dish was shockingly overcooked and mushy. The $18 garlic... View menu
