The 21 Best Restaurants In Portland, Oregon - Portland, OR - The Infatuation
"Portland has no shortage of spots for steamy bowls of phở. But nothing beats Hà VL. This simply decorated Vietnamese restaurant on 82nd has a daily rotation of two or three soups with illustrative photos on the wall, which doesn’t always include the beefy classic (that’s served on Sunday). The options could be bún chả ốc with snail meatballs, tofu, and tomatoes on a Thursday, or a coconut chicken curry soup on a Wednesday. To prevent broth-based heartache, go early if you’re set on a particular soup since they’ll sell out by lunch. There are two other iterations of Hà VL around town—Rose VL Deli on Powell and the newer, more centrally located Annam VL. We like this location because it’s in the Jade District so you can stock up on Asian groceries at nearby markets." - krista garcia
