Fish Sauce

Housed in the formerly pink quarters that launched Saint Cupcake’s rise to cupcake fame, this stylish, friendly little Vietnamese spot is winning NW Portland hearts with a decidedly more savory approach to things. From their stoveside stools, kitchen peeping Tom’s can watch chefs perpae grilled lemongrass pork bahn mi, filet mignon pho, and plum sauce and ginger-stuffed game hens, while conversations fueled by the skillful bartenders’ rummy Green Lemons and Short Rounds fly across the dining room’s long communal table.
