    I really enjoyed this place! I'll be coming back for sure! I love the decor and authentic food! The conversations with the staff made this place excellent. The butterfly bowl was perfect with the different meats and the addition of the mixed veggies. If you are visiting Portland I recommend this place, tastes soo good!

    10/5 stars loved this place! As a fully gluten free restaurant I was so excited to eat here and be able to order anything off the menu which is a rarity for me and especially with Asian food restaurants. They clearly are really proud of what they’ve been able to accomplish with this restaurant and the staff were really nice and funny. I got Pho (ugly bowl) and egg rolls which were both delicious! If you have celiac or any gluten intolerance this is a must try when you’re in Portland.

    Absolutely fantastic food. Yes, you're pretty much guaranteed a long wait, but it's absolutely worth it. In a town full of fantastic food joints this is a must visit. Brilliant amount of gluten free options.

    The pho broth is no joke. They seriously steep it for 24-48 hours and it’s probably the best pho broth I’ve had🍲 they have stage with live music and karaoke and if you’re cool you’d go and sing a song for everyone, if not guess you’re not cool then🙄owner is very sweet and it’s a great place for a chill, cozy dinner. The vermicelli noodle bowl was top tier, too. 10/10 loved it

    Omgoodness the 48 hr beef Pho was beyond..beyond amazing! But I’m not sure what I enjoyed more, the Pho or my waiter. He is SOO funny and entertaining, he’s having way too much fun! Without a doubt, I’ll be back. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. DON’T PASS IT UP. Come enjoy.

    This restaurant is a must whether you are gf/df or not! I am gf/df and I could eat anything on the menu. The Pho is OUTSTANDING. The 48hr broth was so delicious. The pad Thai was the best I've had, maybe ever. The egg rolls are better than any I've had in many many years. They are friendly, caring and so helpful.

    Ordered pan fried rices with chicken. $18 with tip. Do you see the 1 pea and zero sauce, its not even pan fried. Plus walking thru the homeless tents and waiting at the entryway like a thief. I will absolutely not be back. Do not recommend.

    The place is kinda hard to find being tucked in on the 1st floor if a condominium unit across a park. Their signs doesn't Heather being light in colors and small. The restaurant itself is too cluttered for me. Its dark and has A lot of bits and pieces of decorations that looks like been there forever with accumulated dust. The owner, who was the server that day, kudos to him being so proud about their restaurant being acknowledged aa the only gluten free restaurant in the area, but he talk too much while we are reading the menu and while we are waiting for the food. The food is ok. Nothing so eunique that u can't do at home. They have homemade plum sauce for the pho that they called pho-t-eight. Broth simmered for 48 hours for flavor. Just fine.

    I can't say enough about how lovely this place is. Grade A+ 101% all the way. 100% Gluten free and the best Pho I've ever had. Stopped in for dinner on our way to the Roseland theater and my oh my was I suprised. We looked all over the google for food near by and decided Pho would be nice, and boy were we not disappointed. I have to say for sure this is the best I've ever had. So delicious, and the proprietors were a lovely couple that were both funny and more than helpful. I had some basic warm Sauki that then owner recommended and it was delicious, it paired nicely with our bowls of Pho. I had the Beef Ball Pho and my Wife had the chicken, tafu, vegetable (both were in 48hr cooked beef broth). The Pho sauce is 100% gluten free which I've never seen before anyware, so that was such a treat. We also had an appetizer of the egg rolls which did not disappoint...point of fact...the table next to us traveled here from Gresham and also though the egg rolls were amazing 🍜 Our entire meal of two 38oz Pho bowls, appetizer, and jug of Sauki was only $49. Amazingly delicious, wonderful people, great music and great atmosphere and art abound. Very fun place and fun proprietors that were super friendly and happy to have us for dinner. Before we left the owner started playing guitar along with some Karoke music up front (6pm), and I decided to join him for our rendition of My Girl. It was a great time and even better food. Go here, enjoy, share some smiles and leave with full bellies. ❣️❤️🥰♥️ 🇻🇳🥢🥣🍜 Update: June 2022 -Was in town for the day and this was the only place I wanted to eat for dinner. I'd been dreaming of this place since I ate here last October. I even had a their business card in my wallet for months I love this place so much. Everything is so delicious. This go around we got an order of egg rolls, meatball Pho (yes again, so so good) and PHO fit, along with a teriyaki plate. I like the flavor of my meatball PHO compared to my wife's veggy PHO but to each their own. All was so so delicious, and owners were very gracious and attentive. This place is dedicated Gluten free cooking, so we had Gluten free beers to wash everything down with. After the meal we went for a walk around the local parks in the area before heading out of town. A++++++ 🍜♥️🍜

    What a great place for some gluten free Asian food. We had the sampler and it was a great choice. The pho broth so flavorful. The lettuce wraps delicious. Egg rolls, wings and so much more. The atmosphere simply enjoyable. Thanks to the owners such a fun night.

    This was a delightful experience from start to finish. We arrived at maybe 6:15, our waiter (the owner) was funny and helpful in comparing the options and provided a vegan menu (don't worry, things like the egg roll don't actually have egg). I got the vegan Hue soup which was delicious, and also really liked the tofu egg rolls. And as we were almost done, even though it was a Monday night at about 7:20 p.m. the waiter asked if any of us wanted to sing karaoke, which we did. No one in the restaurant sang other than our small group and the waiter. At one point the waiter took a break from serving to sing a duet with me and then do another song himself (a few people were waiting for their credit cards and may have been slightly miffed). Overall it was great food and a great atmosphere. But if you are looking for an efficient, no-nonsense restaurant, this is definitely not the place for you. This is a silly, plenty-nonsense restaurant with great food worth the wait. Other than being slow service was really good.

    An absolute GEM. We were in Portland for a short trip and randomly came across this place late at night. There is a whole karaoke setup there with various instruments, the food is INSANELY tasty, the pho was so good and the meat ribs were so juicy, we ate like animals and then went to sing the night away. It was a really great evening. also shout out to our waiter who went and sung for us too, all the staff there was so fun and sassy in the best ways, really made our time there go from good to stellar.

    Came here, first time. Sat at table and was given menus. After a long spiel ending with verbally informing us the actual prices are higher than advertised on menu, our impulse was to walk out. But wanted to give it a chance still, desperate for food, for pho. I looked to the left of my booth (a window seat) and find a very old used covid mask and large cobwebs across the window sill. Should I run now? No. I still want to be fed an overpriced meal. Heard a microwave ding and thought hope that’s not how it’s done. Ordered rice cakes and and they came out looking like globby clusters of old uncovered rice left in the fridge for days. It looked and tasted like a joke. I ate it and sobbed on the inside. Wanted to walk out yet again but felt looped in having ordered more. Pho came and after one sip I was very confused, it tasted like salt water. I tried the other persons and it was better but the flavour was sideways. As I picked through the pho, the vegetables were brown and freezer burnt, which was an extra charge. Server/owner came by and asked how it was and I couldn’t respond, but not because my mouth was full. We were silent and he just dropped bill and walked away. This whole experience felt truly awful and I felt like I was in the twilight zone. I decided to complain by walking to the owner away from the other customers and was asked if I wanted to sing a karaoke song. I said no, and explained the condition of the vegetables among the quality of the other food. He was shocked but agreed the vegetables could be freezer burned. Didn’t apologize and very dismissive but did take small percentage off the bill but not enough to justify all the extra costs. Normally always take excess food home but it was too repulsive to even consider. TLDR; karaoke doesn’t make up for terrible food quality and lack of customer service and lack of apparent sanitization. I feel nauseas writing this and hope I don’t have to taste this broth on the way up too. Other person is still very hungry. Godspeed.

    Thursday night music! The vegetarian menu was very welcome. Great Viet coffee too.

    Very delicious Thai-Vietnamese food! BUT, please keep in mind, you will be waiting a bit for your food. So if you're in a rush, probably look elsewhere. If you're looking for delicious food and some open mic then definitely check this place out.

  • 5/5 Emily G. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing Vietnamese food and fun vibe! Loved the egg roll wraps appetizer and the bun thit nuong. Even better that it’s 100% GF with vegetarian and vegan options! And a bonus point for offering GF beer!

    We ordered delivery after a day on the road and OH MY GOODNESS. What a delicious, delightful, filling special treat. I haven't had pho in almost a decade and it's exactly what I was missing in my life. The bone broth was nourishing and filling. Everything gluten free! What a dream! The egg rolls were amazing. 10/10 can't wait to eat again! P.S. my partner lives where the pho flows and says this is as authentic as it gets.

    Fun vibe. Good food. Welcoming atmosphere. I was alone in the city but did not feel alone here. The staff were also very understanding when I realized I had taken my wallet out in my hotel room last-minute. I came back with it just after closing, and they were still friendly. This is a happy place!
