The 16 Best Breakfast Spots In Portland, Oregon - Portland, OR - The Infatuation
"When pancakes or eggs just won’t do, go for a Vietnamese noodle soup at Rose VL. Save your phở cravings for later, because this family-run Foster-Powell restaurant in a tiny strip mall is all about the deep cuts that feel rare for this town. Instead, order the cao lȃ̀u noodles, a Saturday-only special that’s an explosion of textures and flavors due to thick, chewy noodles, slightly sweet Chinese bbq pork, and herbs, plus peanuts and fried shallots for crunch. Light pork broth is served on the side for sipping between bites. Rose VL serves different soups every day, so diehards know the day of the week to go for the shrimp cake noodle soup with sliced pork meatloaf (Friday) or the red chicken curry served with a crusty baguette (Thursday)." - krista garcia
