"Back when Portland was still living off vegetarian burgers, Phở Hùng was ladling out steamy bowls of broth, noodles, and tender cuts of beef to a loyal crowd of anyone savvy enough to recognize brilliance in a bowl. These days, this Jade District restaurant is still that same welcoming place where the portions are hearty, the tripe and tendons are optional, and the soup can fix anything short of an existential crisis. Phở is the obvious choice, but the menu is deep, so get the duck noodle soup or beef stew with a hunk of french bread if you want something less predictable." - Krista Garcia
