Pho' Green Papaya is one of my favorite Pho' restaurants in town. I like it as much as Pho' Jasmine in North Portland! They have a great menu, reasonably priced, tons of vegan and vegetarian options, a PATIO, and some very attractive employees. I liked the no-nonsense waiters, but I noticed that some of the other reviews frowned on them. I think they might have late hours on Saturday. Just don't go between 4pm and 5pm because they are closed (I learned that the hard way).
Pros: Pho' and Bu'n
Cons: Not open between 4pm and 5pm

I have eaten at this little restaurant a handful of times now. Generally, the food has been consistently good and the service consistently crappy. The staff is arrogant and if you make any requests (reasonable ones) expect to get attitude. The last time I was there, we were seated promptly, then waited about 15 minutes before anyone came to our wobbly table. The waiter moved a more sturdy, dirty table over in its place. He snapped at us when he told us to stand up so he could move the table. Another staff person “cleaned” it with a few quick swipes of the bar rag, but it was still sticky and whatever was on it smelled something foul! She actually refused to let us clean it ourselves and would not allow us to use the bar rag. This time food wasn’t up to par either. The crispy rolls were soggy and the chicken curry was dry. Upon leaving the waiter huffed when we asked to split our bill. At first when the staff was rude, I thought, it might just be an isolated experience, maybe they were having a bad day, but it seems to have gotten worse. I can’t say I would recommend this place, unless you want to be treated like chopped liver.
Pros: Food... usually.
Cons: Service
