Pho Sen 2

Food: 6/10 - I tried the wonton noodle soup w/pork &chicken broth. My first time having Viet version and it wasn't my favorite. The wontons weren't that flavorful & sad a weird texture. the noodles were uninspiring. Meat was just ok. Veggies were fresh. Broth was decent. Service: 10/10 - fast, friendly, and communicative. Zero complaints. Atmo: 11/10 - Vietnamese music playing at the right volume, clean place, and well-appointed. Possibly the nicest pho place I've ever been to. The chili oil was more heat than flavor, sadly. I'll be back to try the pho due to the service and atmosphere.

This was my second time coming in and the first time was very disappointing, so I tried to give them a second chance. The first visit we sat at the table for 45 mins with the waiter coming back to the table twice to ask us what our order was because it was never put in. We sat and watched waiting for our food while other customers came and went. Then when they finally got our food ready we asked for it to go at this point because a hour into this without food was wasting our time at this point. We went up to pay and the bill for a hour of waiting for bowls of soup cost $60. Fast-forward to last night... We ordered the same exact things and to our surprise we got what looks like extra toppings (tendons) we didn't ask for. These pieces looked like they were clearly just thrown onto a bowl that was previously put together and saved in the fridge for future orders. These were not incorporated in any way in the settling of the premade bowl, these looked like they were thrown on top at the last min? I have no idea what they are or why they needed to be on my food, but it was absolutely disgusting to have to see and remove. And the onion on top looked very old. Pretty disappointed all the way around. We will not be back ever. Ridiculously expensive for this food with a very unpleasant experience every time.

This is one of our favorite places. Pho is their main dish and its delicious. I've also had their Bun Bo (a spicy beef noodle soup) and I was so surprised that I didn't have that first. Its my favorite Bun bo so far that isn't mt moms. I've also enjoy their Com tam (broken rice) when I'm not in the mood for noodles. Be aware, there are going to be pieces of cuts of meats and ligaments that you may not be used to eating. Someone gave a one star because they couldn't understand what it was. Thought it was "old", If you're not an adventurous eater, don't order those bowls. Or if you're not knowledgeable about the cuts, maybe, ask about them before you blast them online and embarrass yourself. Happy eating!

Only giving three stars because there was a large amount of chicken in the small pho that I ordered but the chicken was inedible because it was so dry and tough. I also asked for a small bowl of pho (after asking if it was something they offered) and was charged full price with a note sent to the kitchen saying ‘small’.. if I was going to pay full price for a regular size bowl, just give me the regular bowl. I would not recommend going here to anyone honestly. There are far better pho spots in the Portland metro area.

Great lunch date spot. Relaxed atmosphere and great service. Got the R6: Curry Chicken with rice. Was flavorful and well spiced. Good to warm up with. A little spendy, but worth the price. Generous portions Definitely recommend 👍.

I had lunch here with my son and a friend, and we were all like the food. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the standout dish was definitely the fried noodle dish my friend chose ( i forgot the name)—it was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was pleasant, making it a perfect spot for a casual lunch. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience and would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and good company

Our first time here but by far the best we’ve had so far! Couldn’t decide on an appetizer so took two and both were great! Our waitress was extremely accommodating as we couldn’t decide on tofu or chicken so they added both to my Pad Thai …

I must say I usually only eat Pho at Pho Hung on Powell downtown area because it’s the best. I was out here at the dentist and was starving and thought I’d try this place. I didn’t have high hopes just cause it’s a strip mall style area. I am so glad I stopped here. I ordered the P3 Pho with well done flank and brisket. The size small was HUGE! I asked for extra basal and they brought it without question. It was truly so yummy I will most definitely be back.

best DoorDash delivery place the noodles were so good and the server helped I'll definitely will be back

The food was great. We had bowls - chicken for my friend and tofu vegan for me. We loved our meals, and having fallen for the just $1 more for a big bowl we had enough leftovers for a couple meals. I'd give it 5 stars but there was a crazy customer service interaction with another customer that got way out of control. I had to intercede to get the customer and employee to stop as they were ramped up in front of three children. The employee was equally at fault for it getting out of hand. I hope lessons were learned and taken to heart on both sides. I will still definitely give it another try. As a vegan it can be hard to find great Pho.

While I'm super happy that Clackamas is getting more Vietnamese options, I do wish the options were better than what I've been experiencing at Pho Sen 2. The food has been average overall but the value is not there since the portions have gotten smaller and the prices have increased. Located just off Sunnyside Rd, this place in a plaza that includes popular breweries and eateries such as McMenamins and Dave's Hot Chicken. Parking can get tight on busy days, but I've managed to squeeze in for lunch and for early dinners. As a space, PS2 feels small, but does a good job of fitting medium to large groups given the layout. It also helps since it doesn't appear to be too busy at any given time. I've had a number of things here, but not much of it has stood out. Their cha gio egg rolls ($8 for 4) were a bit larger, super crunchy, and made for an easy starter. Lotus salad ($10.50) with pork and and shrimp were skimpy on the actual proteins, but the pickling of the veggies was strong. Goi cuon summer (2 for $7) rolls were solid, but not that well wrapped. It eventually started falling apart while dipping in the sauce. A nice surprise was the nuoc mam (fish sauce) wings ($11). They had the right amount of crisp, funk, and little kick of sweetness and spice. The spicy beef noodle soup (bun bo hue) was close to $18 and was very unmemorable with tough meats and a less than memorable broth. Their special signature pho ($17) was much of the same. Meats were skimpy and the broth was once again a little bland. Not my favorite by a long stretch. The service was lukewarm but very casual. As the the Asian communities within Happy Valley and Clackamas continue to grow, I'm really hoping they'll step it up so that the can add to the dining scene of the neighborhood.

Introducing our friend to Pho at this restaurant. This will be her first time eating it. I ordered the Pho Special, large. My friend ordered the special chicken and pork broth with BBQ pork, shrimp, squid and quail egg in rice noodles as her intro to pho noodles. My other friend ordered Grilled pork chop, grilled shrimp and omelet egg on top of jasmine rice. Service was quick. The food was delicious . Everyone finished all the food that they had ordered. This is more of a eat and go kinda place. No frills. Very low key environment.

I came here on a whim one day and thought that it was amazing. The inside is spacious, with tons of seating and the large windows make the place brighter during the day. I ordered an order of chicken wings and bowl of specialty pho, and they came out surprisingly very fast (in contrast to what other reviews have stated). The chicken wings were so crispy on the outside but the perfect tenderness on the inside, and the sauce was packed of flavor and fish sauce--just the way I like it. The pho was a good portion and there was lots of meat. The broth was rich and flavorful. I overall had a great time here, and would definitely come back again.

I love everything here! This has been my go-to spot for the past few months. Great service and atmosphere. My family tried their Pho, Bun Bo Hue, Special Fried Rice, Chicken Pad Thai, and Hu Tieu. All dishes were excellent!

Service takes a bit longer than most other Pho spots but the food was very tasty! The portion of meat was very significant. Everything you would expect from a Pho spot. Lots of tables and it looked like they did a large amount of to-go orders.

We have been to this location a few times over the years. It's consistently good. Not our absolute favorite, but it's good. The broth in both the beef and chicken phos always have good flavor and the side plate add-ins make it even more flavorful. The meat is normally a good cut but we have had visits that the beef has been a little too fatty for pho. The crispy egg rolls are great. Order those! They're really great! The restaurant is nice and appears clean. The staff is always friendly. It's a great lunch spot with a nice, convenient, parking lot.

I've been here a number of times and they never miss. I love this place!! The fish sauce wings, salad rolls and chicken pho are to die for. The place has a super cozy feeling as well. The atmosphere is amazing. And the workers are extremely friendly, not to mention very fast too. I go here at least once a week! Highly recommended!!

Need a quick pick me up on to go? Pho Sen is the perfect place. I got the Bun and salt and pepper squid to-go and the family loved it. Bun -Vermicelli noodles with grilled pork, shrimp and egg rolls. Excellent addition on a warm day! The egg rolls are crisp and tastes phenomenal. The grilled pork and shrimp are succulent. Salt and Pepper Squid -Salt and pepper deep fried squid, onions and jalapeño peppers -This dish is an absolute must-have if I ever see it on the menu. I love the salt and paper flavor with deep fried seafood. Pho Sen did a perfect job! The dish was well flavored and most importantly, the deep fried squid was still crunchy 10 mins later! Overall, I enjoyed my visit to Pho Sen. They were quick with my to-go order which is much appreciated when I have HANGRY family members at home. The meal was well seasoned as well as still being fresh and delicious when I brought it home for the family! I'd absolutely recommend folks to visit!

This place was pretty forgettable. So much so, that the other day, I asked my wife if she wanted to try this place and she reminded me we had been here once already. Maybe it was because it was close to closing time? Service was slow despite us being the only customers in the restaurant. I think I ordered their #3 pho, which consists of mostly tendon and sliced meats. I don't care for asian style meat and fish balls, so I was really looking forward to what I ordered. Unfortunately, I got a bowl almost entirely full of tripe and nothing much else. The broth was salty, but otherwise flavorless. My wife ordered something with seafood (that's her usual). I remember there was hardly any seafood in it. The broth in her soup was also pretty bland. It's a shame that our first impressions were not good. This restaurant is located just a mile from my parents' house. Had our experience been more positive, it could easily have been a regular spot for us to eat at.

Needed a quick bite while in the area so I placed a phone order for spring rolls and the crispy noodle dish. The spring rolls were amazing but I did not like the crispy noodle dish - I thought the concept of the crispy noodles were cool but it wasn't enjoyable to eat and it tasted too bland for me. The service is great and I felt like they genuinely cared to have my business. I will be back for the spring rolls and maybe trying something else from the menu.

Update on my previous review, took a star away. Prices has gone up but they giving less food. Cheating out on da meats and vegs in pho and that is not acceptable! Found me a new pho place near by. -T- that's a middle finger to the place by the way lol .

Portions were HUGE! Delicious Thai iced tea. The best part was having my college aged daughter as a lunch date

Great Pho joint in Happy Valley. Service was friendly. Food came out fast and piping hot! We ordered some beef Pho and the egg rolls. Pho was delightful. The broth was fragrant and delicious. The crispy egg rolls were really good as well. Definitely will be back!

I decided to eat here on my lunch on a very windy cold day. The place was busy with only two young men taking orders and delivery food. Even though you could tell that they could use more help they were very quick. I was seated right away. It took a while before they came and took my order but food came out very fast. I ordered the shrimp salad rolls (came with peanut sauce -yummy!) and the pho ga (chicken with noodle soup). Both were fantastic and filling. I got the large pho which was a lot and I was able to take it to go. I will say the parking lot was full and parking was hard to find over the lunch hour. Will definitely be back!

Amazing pho place! They don't skimp on the meat, and it is quality broth. It was super busy; clearly a popular place. Good service despite that. It is a neat little place to sit down for a bowl of soup.

Keep in mind I am very picky about salad rolls because I make my own all the time. The peanut sauce was meh for me. Just tasted like peanut butter, sugar and water to me. The rolls were very fresh but needed more herbs for flavor. Too much lettuce in my opinion.

Been wanting to try out this restaurant for quite some time! I ordered the beef vermicelli bowl, and it was very good! Such a big portion too!

Each time I order whether pickup or delivery, my order is always accurate. Good customer service. Food is always good!

I ordered pho to go and was given raw meat and broth too cool to cook it or the noodles. They were generous with the add ins tho - lots of bean sprouts, basil and jalapeños.

I eat pho every day and this is my favorite spot. Biggest salad rolls and they are very generous with the soup and noodles

I'm going to call this "decent but spendy". Stopped in here on a rainy Monday to grab a bowl of Pho before an appointment. Had never been before, was glad to find a Pho place local to my appointment. Walked in, was greeted with a familiar aroma, probably chicken broth and a bit of allspice maybe? Was greeted and seated immediately. Ordered a "small chicken" even before the menu was offered and got a head nod from the waitperson. The wait wasn't unreasonable - side plate of bean sprouts and basil came along with tableware w/in a few minutes. And a few minutes later, a bowl was placed in front of me. At this point, the review devolves into "nothing special". The bowl was a few pieces of shredded chicken with noodles and a bit of sliced green onion. Pretty much what you'd expect to see. Taste was also well within expectations. But compared to offerings from some place like Pho Gia over on Sandy, this was just...average. More to the point, the shock was that their "small chicken" cost me $13.95 plus tip. Spendy for what it was. I suppose I'll go back some time because they're the Pho place for that area but it's just not very exciting.

Excellent taste and portion! I ordered it to go and drove home to Vancouver and it was still hot

Best pho in happy Valley is the most delicious dish I ever had I recommend go there I think I will order the same dish I got from my DoorDash I'll give it 500%

I was so hungry, when I ordered my chicken noodle soup and happy to receive it in a timely manner..but wait! There's a BUT! The chicken was all white chicken breast beautiful looking but the proof is in the pudding and or tasting, not able to resist that luscious looking chicken I swiftly gobble up a nice size piece only to chew into it and notice an odd (Not chicken) flavor I quickly spewed it from my mouth and chucked it aside, it tasted old..like it was cooked frozen and the recooked ,in fact it was dry and hard as well..hmmmm? Questioning myself I ate some noodles ehh! Not to bad but not what I was hoping for.. I decided to give the chicken another try, looking around the broth for a nice smaller juicy looking piece in hope the 1st bite was just a fluke......10 seconds late-er) spewed it out and Nooo...nothing had changed ,I'm so so disappointed I didn't eat the rest of the noodles or broth 3 bites in was enough for me .... Sooo.. I don't know about the rest of their foods but the chicken noodle pho is a definite no go for me and Yeah I think this place is to... to me if you have a food business and want return customers you should put out the freshest food there is with a quality taste ... to me they were trying to cut corners and time by cooking ahead and freezing food to save on both time and money.. bad idea in my way of thinking...ehh! This is my own opinion take it or leave it...

We got a lot of to go orders from here the last 18 months, so we finally decided to see what the food was like without a 20 minute drive . We were not disappointed they have a expansive menu that has items not available to go. Place was clean and service was great. Takes a minute to get your order but they are always busy so that's too be expected. The crispy noodles are amazing

Average Vietnamese place over in SE. We got a Banh Mi, Thit Nuong (grilled pork vermicelli bowl), and a Hu Tieu (non-pho noodle soup, more like a Chinese noodle soup)- all were tasty. Would go back again if in the area.

Everything is tasty from the pho to sandwiches love their Thai dishes. The service is friendly and quick. The restaurant is clean and roomy.

I haven't been in this place but I tried their food from Doordash delivery . My daughter loves this restaurant Is always fresh and tasty. The pho and the chicken rolls . They make everything right they never forget anything . They hit the spot

I was in town visiting family in Oregon. There're many pho places around, but our go to in Clackamas was closed. We Yelped a few spots in the Clackamas area on Sunnyside, and Pho Sen 2 popped up. Overall rating and the photos of the food looked good so we decided to check it out. We walked in and were greeted and seated right away. We all ordered a bowl of pho as there were 10 of us in our party. The restaurant itself was clean and the people who waited on us were friendly and quick. I know other reviews said that they take a long time, but that wasn't the case for us. The spring rolls with shrimp and the Pho with rare steak and brisket were just as good as our normal spot. Don't hesitate to come in for a bowl of pho. The broth is just fine and the quality of the meat and noodles are as well.

Service is bad the lady there don't have the patience to explain and is kinda rude food not so bad but not the greatest

Honestly pretty surprised how good this place was! Living in the Clackamas area pretty much all my life I never knew there was such a solid pho place right under my nose! If you're a fan of pho I def give this place a sticker of approval as a Vietnamese American myself.

I love this restaurant! I've been looking for crispy noodles and I'm so happy I finally found a restaurant that has them! the crispy noodles are amazing,. Can't wait to go back and try more from their menu

The best pho I have ever found. Generous with vegetables, tasty broth, and good service.

I have not had the opportunity to go here until my friends invited me despite it being right across the street from work. I was pleasantly surprised. Really fresh tasting ingredients, decent portion for the price, and great customer service. Would come here again for my next craving!

Came here for lunch with my Bestfriend and oooh the minute we walked in, you could just smell that pho broth. I did not have the Pho, she did, and she said it was delicious! We ordered ; P3 (pho), BBQ pork salad rolls, fish sauce wings, crab puffs, and banh xeo with fish sauce. The banh xeo was so nice and crispy. The house made fish sauce was absolutely delicious. I love a good homemade fish sauce... This is the best one I've ever had! I dipped the salad rolls in the fish sauce and oh my... chefs kiss** All in all, would come back again, looking VERY forward to it!!!!

I've been back a couple times after my last review, usually during my lunch break with my coworkers (there really isn't much to eat around my area). We arrive around noon and order almost immediately as we all get the same items every time. I have only ordered the hu tieu mi dac biet and for the last two times have been asked what type of noodles I wanted (egg or rice) whereas the first time I was not. The first time I had the dish, I was pleasantly surprised by the addition of the squid but in today's order, they used a different part of the squid in the dish and it was not a good move as it did not taste the same. My coworker loves their spring rolls and they are FAT. My other coworker orders pho and finishes it every time. They still take a long time with orders, we usually get our food around 12:30 so don't expect to do anything else on your one hour lunch break if you come here.

Nothing terrible, but also nothing special. Very run-of-the-mill Vietnamese food. The food came extremely slowly despite us arriving at 3 pm to a very empty restaurant. The taste was fine, but again nothing out of the ordinary for Vietnamese restaurants in Portland. I have no reason to recommend this over any other Vietnamese places in the area.

Very good Pho, vermicelli and other dishes. Friendly family owned place. Casual diner atmosphere typical for Pho places.

This place is a pretty standard Vietnamese pho place, not the greatest pho but acceptable if you need a quick fix. I got the pho ga and the ga was super dry and hard to chew. My boyfriend got pho tai and said it was okay. I recommend pho Kim or pho Oregon if you need a good place.

Pho broth is basically hot water. Pork from the bun thit nuong could use much more char/grilled flavor. Salad rolls were aiiight. Can't wait to drop a shit and let this horrible disappointment leave my body. Would not recommend. If you're in HV, just go the distance to Pho Oregon brah.

I travel to Oregon often and hardly find any good pho spots. This one was very good. The food was spot on and the staff was great. The portion of the food was good and the price was great. When I go back to Oregon, I am definitely coming back.

04/10/19: 4.0 out 5 - Decided to try this place out after running the 10 mile portion of The Couve Clover Run 2019. Which may have been a factor playing on my tastebuds. Regardless, on my way home to Milwaukie, it was decided to check this place out. After all, I was famish, and who wouldn't be after a 10-mile run, right? Well, this place is actually the second location before its expansion from Vancouver, WA. I can't speak for the other location, but this place has good food and good table service. However, you can order "to go" if you like. The place isn't too big of a space but has plenty of tables and chairs without feeling confined. It's also clean and simple decoratively. I would definitely recommend trying it once and decide for yourself. I'll definitely go back and try Pho Sen when in the area. Enjoy!

Overall really nice experience! They were fast and super nice. Quality Pho without going down to 82nd and affordable with large portions. Will definitely be back Service was a little slow but it's still COVID. Everywhere is short on employees so I don't blame them.

Great place to introduce my friend to pho. I appreciate the modest price of the meat free option. I mean really it's all about the broth anyway. Right? Salad rolls were awesome. My wife is vegetarian so it's been forever since I've had a pork shrimp salad roll. If only there was more sauce. Lots of fun herbs to. I got the combo vermicelli. I liked the portioning on the plate. Sometimes you don't want all the bean sprouts or all the lettuce. Tasty meat and some crispy spring rolls with good filling. My son got the potstickers. Very flavorful. They were a hit. We'll be back for sure.

Thai salad rolls (with bbq pork) Beef over vermicelli noodles (with extra beef) Thai ice tea. Perfect lunch for a hot day. Nice chilled noodles and veggies. Delicious. This is a regular portion, easy enough for two people to share. -- eating lunch at Pho Sen 2.

Delicious extra large servings. Super happy to see no msg, and was able to skip the fish sauce. We ordered the large vegetarian soup and egg rolls. Peanut sauce was ok. But the rest amazing. Only ate 1/4 of the soup. Looking forward to having it for lunch tomorrow.

Food was good, fast service and friendly staff! Food was immaculate, taste like authentic food unlike the daves hot chicken next door

I had a vermicelli noodle dish that was so goddamn good. The meat is perfectly seared and there is plenty of it, the rice noodles are not over or under cooked, and the veggies tasted really fresh and good. Also tried the crab puffs which were much smoother in their filling than some lesser places.
