"His ultimate comfort food is phở, and his favorite is a well-dressed phở spot on Sandy: “It’s so done up, it’s my favorite. I used to live one block away, and when I was a bartender, I would eat that like two or three times a week, which is way too many times to eat phở a week.”" - Thom Hilton
"Pho Mekha’s savory and aromatic pho stocks are lauded as some of the best in Portland, though the larger menu is also well-stocked with other fantastic noodle soups. Mekha’s Mì Quảng, swirling turmeric noodles tangled in tail-on prawns and quail eggs, is one of the city’s best, thanks to its tangy-yet-savory broth. Another great choice, available at the NE Sandy Blvd locale, is the Phnom Penh noodles, garnished with chrysanthemum greens — try ordering them dry with the pork broth on the side. Most soups come with a side plate of sprouts, herbs, and a host of condiments to choose from, including the signature house garlic." - Janey Wong
"Many people who visit Phở Mekha seek out its hủ tiếu nam vang, also known as Phnom Penh noodles — they’re a known favorite of Portland Thai royalty Nong Poonsukwattana. However, one of its sleeper hits is the mi quang, a seafood noodle soup brimming with bright yellow turmeric noodles, shrimp, peanuts, rice crackers polka-dotted with black sesame seeds, and a whole quail egg. The broth’s blend of pork and seafood gives the soup a savory foundation, complemented by the restaurant’s popular garlic condiment." - Rebecca Roland

"Thanks to Nong of khao man gai fame, many head to Mekha for the dry Phnom Penh noodles, but the pho, a little sweet and finished with a few grinds of black pepper, is also worth ordering. If there were a prize for most varied condiments, Mekha might win: The minimalist and modern restaurant offers more than just the usual Sriracha and hoisin, and also stocks house-made garlic paste, chile-infused vinegar, chile oil, and chile paste." - Janey Wong
