In Short
This restaurant's décor includes a mixture of sleek modernity and classic Asian design. The clean, minimalist space lays backdrop for Vietnamese artifacts and creates an ambiance that works for both neighborhood… Read Full Editorial
Good food, not so great atmosphere and service by Kate H via Insider Pages on 3/8/2010
My family likes this restaurant pretty well. I like the curry with sweet potatoes or the special pork and eggplant. My daughter likes the pork chop platter. The restaurant itself has a modern, cold feeling and does not have a full bar. The…
Too Much Cilantro by Amy T via Insider Pages on 2/19/2010
I wasn't to thrilled with the food here. Maybe it was just my dish and the fact that I'm not really familiar with Vietnamese cuisine, but my food was rather bland and full of cilantro- which makes me gag. I couldn't really get a good idea…
Upscale Pho by adrienne s via Insider Pages on 1/26/2009
I like this Pho restaurant for its various options aside from Pho. They interior is a bit more upscale than most Pho restaurants, although the food is great it isn't that much better than the others. While the service is attentive it is…
Perfect location for Pho Van by Esjay M via Insider Pages on 1/4/2009
I am SO glad pho van opened up in the Hawthorne district. This is the best scenario for entertaining out of town guests: spend the day shopping Hawthorne's unique gift stores; have an early dinner at Pho Van; catch a movie at the Baghdad!…
Not so bad by D11 via Citysearch on 12/11/2008
Today three of us went in to Pho Van. We sat for 17minutes before anyone came by. When the cocky waiter finally came, we alerted him we were in a bit of a hurry. He then suggested we get the soup because it comes out the fastest. Well…
Yummy Pho for a rainy day by MaralynWeaver via Citysearch on 5/12/2008
I had some family in town and they live in a small town with not a lot of variety of restaurants so I thought I'd take them to try Pho since I love Pho. It was a rainy day and them being from California I thought they needed a little…
terrible chef and crew and no managers onsite by veronicaone via Citysearch on 12/30/2007
Three people went to dinner on Saturday night at 9PM, ordered our food and waited. It took a while and when one of the dishes was not prepared according to the menu description and it was sent back. The waiter then returned and said the…
Overpriced by alexsb1116 via Citysearch on 12/11/2007
This restaurant tried hard to make itself "fine dining" but it really doesn't work with the menu of soup, vermicelli noodles, and rice. The only thing similar to fine dining would be the price.\r

Pho Van used to be one of my favorite…
Not worth it by juliekins223 via Citysearch on 6/5/2007
I am Vietnamese and just moved to the Portland area and was curious to try out this place after my bf suggested it. I have to admit, the decor was nice, but the food was dull and missing the flavors of traditional Vietnamese cuisine. I…
Worst Dining Experience in Portland by alibaly via Citysearch on 6/4/2007
We normally eat at the Pho Van on 82nd but decided to try the one on the Hawthorne as we were meeting friends in that neighborhood. There were five of us in our group and we couldn't quite make up our minds what to have. The waitress was…
dsnichole's reviewed the wrong restaurant by server360 via Citysearch on 12/31/2006
dsnichole: you reviewed the wrong restaurant apparently. this restaurant is not "run down". It hasn't even been there a year yet. Some of the newer places? What newer places? This place is brand spankin' new!!!
good by nicky7899 via Citysearch on 11/15/2006
My dad loves this pho better than any of the newer places and he swears it is the best. I like it too but I prefer a little more atmosphere.
Everything on the menu has MSG! by yemango via Citysearch on 11/6/2006
attentive staff, pretty decor, but my partner is highly allergic to MSG and he could feel it in the air when we walked in. the waiter was so kind as to bring out a list of items with MSG ingredients, but thats pretty much every single…
Cool neighborhood-type pho van by afkhunter via Citysearch on 9/2/2006
Good soup, curry, salad rolls, and specialties. Better food than you'll get at many (most?) restaurants, with friendly service to match, and prices below what you'd expect. Not to mention the cool decor. One of the best area spots.
Hawthorne Mishaps by shaunapremgrp via Citysearch on 7/30/2006
I'm glad to have read a good review of the new Pho Van on Hawthorne. My experience at this new location was one of the worst dinning experiences I have EVER had!\r
Granted, it was only 2 weeks after they first opened, but I have been a…
best green papaya salad by bell4pdx via Citysearch on 7/24/2006
Excellent service and wonderful food, i still haven't found anything i don't like there. The staff are helpful and good at recommending food when you don't know what you want, or what a dish is. Always graceful.
