Entrance, 2022

Pho Oregon is a Vietnamese restaurant in northeast Portland's Madison South neighborhood. In 2018, Patricia Sauthoff of Willamette Week said, "Pho Oregon's huge dining room is filled with the taste of broth. The menu is also thick with traditional Vietnamese dishes, like com bo kho, a fatty, succulent beef in a broth with salt-and-pepper rice."

In 2020, Eater Portland's Krista Garcia wrote, "This banquet-ready institution is a well-oiled machine. From tai (flank steak only) to the dac biet (multiple cuts of beef, plus meatballs, tendon, and tripe), the menu has more than 20 different variations of pho to choose from. All bowls of pho, fragrant with star anise and clove, come out of the kitchen quicker than seems humanly possible."

Portland Monthly has described the restaurant's specialty, dac biet, as "a mighty bowl of the requisite rice noodles accompanied by slices of round steak, flank steak, fatty brisket, tendon, tripe, and beef meatballs". The restaurant also serves bánh mì, bún, Vietnamese coffee, chanh muối (salted lemonade), and sinh to bo (avocado smoothie).

History

Pho Oregon opened in 2003. In 2021, the restaurant participated in Around the World in 82 Dishes, organized by the 82nd Avenue Business District.
