Best Pho in the Portland area

10/27/2015

We LOVE the pho noodle bowls at Rose VL restaurant in Portland. The broth is light and rich. They use no MSG, and the owner showed us a spice packet, sans MSG, imported from Japan. Meats are light and excellent. Gorgeous crisp local veggies finish it perfectly, with unusual variants such as tiny baby celery instead of basil. Wow!

Rose VL is colorful, and immaculately clean!!

Quail eggs, good fish balls, heavenly crisp veggies, yummy pork...

I like mine extra spicy!

Before...

After. YUM!

We haven't tried Ha VL yet.
