The Best Bowls of Pho in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland
"Thom’s tiny interior and ultra-pared down menu may be reminiscent of restaurants owned by first-generation Vietnamese immigrants in American cities like San Jose and Westminster, California. Similar to these businesses, which typically specialize in one or two dishes at a time, Thom prides itself on perfecting just four items, and pho consists of half those offerings. A smaller but stuffed bowl of pho bo holds a hearty serving of both beef and chicken meatballs, tenderloin, and brisket, while the popular vegan pho chay is topped with bok choy, mushrooms, and tofu. A shelf of takeaway Asian pantry goods complements the micro offerings, with treats like Thai varieties of Lays, cooking sauces, and fruit chews." - Janey Wong
