Great fresh ingredients, one bad server.

by nsakai

I have been eating here for about 4 years. I love the Beef Salad and many of the noodle dishes. Everything is seasoned well with great sauces. The veggies are always fresh! I agree that the owner is very nice and always has a smile. Most of the servers are attentive and pleasant. The only negative thing i have say about the restaurant is about one server. Hope that you don't ever get the girl with long hair and the nose piercing. The first time i had awful service from her i gave her the benefit of the doubt since every one has a bad day and customer service can be a difficult job. But now i have had her several times. She will just throw down the menus on the table for you and just walk away. She never smiles or says anything polite. She barely checks on you. The worst is when you hear her yell at the other bussers or servers in front of all the customers. She needs to go because she obviously hates her job. It ruins a delightful experience at one of our favorite restaurants.

• Pros: parking lot, owner often present, fresh ingredients
• Cons: one bad server

Best Pho

by drdanpdx

This has got to be the best pho in town for the price.

The number 1 is with sirloin and is my favorite.

This place really hits the spot on a rainy Portland day.

They also have moon cakes.

• Pros: Easy Parking

Best Vietnamese in Portland

by stevengilles

I'm surprised at the negative reviews on this page. I've been eating here for 2 years and my Vietnamese fiance and her Vietnamese mother find this restaurant to be amongst the best in the city.

The Pho Ga is authentic, the Salads are all made fresh and taste great, the Summer Rolls are always fresh and taste wonderful. It's true if you get to know the owner, he'll treat you wonderfully.

The servers at times have difficulty with english, so order based on the number/letter combo next to your selection. Avoid the "non-Vietnamese" items as they tend to not be as good as the more traditional items.

Call up 20 minutes in advance for take out and you will have a complete meal ready to take home with you.

• Pros: Good Value, Friendly Owner, Great Take out
• Cons: Parking

Great Food! Great People!

by vanhtruong

I have been eating at Thanh Long for the last 4 years and brought many friends. The fõod is excellent and if you get to know the owners, they are just awsome people who are truly dedicated community services.

Thanh Long has their own great parking in the back. This is a jewel for downtown.

Food: Mmm...Bomb

by gecko_hen

I really like the new decorated restaurant and atmosphere. The service is quick and the people are very friendly, especially the owner. I love this place because lunch and dinner servings can fill you up for days with leftovers for tomorrow. Thanh Long gives you healthy food at a price that you can afford. The food is delicious, the service is fast, and a good cheap a walk from campus.

• Pros: outside seating, friendly workers, inexpensive
• Cons: no parking
