Reviews for Ph? Zen in Happy Valley, OR

Vegetarian/ vegan BEWARE. I ordered a vegetarian pho and vegetarian egg rolls…. The pho had chunks of TRIPE in it… that’s... cow stomach if you didn’t know.. and the eggs rolls were NOT vegetarian. After not eating meat for 11 years- I spent myevening vomiting outside this restaurant. If you’re going to offer vegetarian food- maybe do not cross contaminate it withmeat?!?? 0/10 recommend, the absolute worst and traumatizing experience. Read more

First time here. Ordered bun Bo hue, it’s terrible they don’t know how to make it and they only use rare beef and cook beef.... Ordered chicken rice combo also. Food came out less than 5 minutes. Chicken and rice was cold. I assumed they made it ahead oftime. Probably won’t come back. The avocado smoothie was good though. Read more

The restaurant is pretty inside. The menu has good depth. My only reservation about recommending it 100% is that they cook the... meat ahead of time and then reheat it. Or at least that's what it tasted like to me. The result is food that arrives at thetable quickly after ordering, but with meat that is dry and overcooked. Read more

For the meat in pho, it’s not tender enough but the soup is still good, I love their Zen mermicelli which is so appetizing... especially in summer. Read more

Amazing food and pretty big portans! I highly reccomend.

Pho was delicious. Broth was light and flavorful. Condiments were all present, but If you want fish sauce or chili oil, you'll... have to ask for them. Ambience of the restaurant is amazing. Included was a closeup of detail to the lighting, which wasmultiple origami cranes connected to a orb of light. Will definitely come back when back in town! Read more

My husband, 3 kids and I love this place! The kids wanted pho during the June 2021 super hot heat wave so we came here- the pho... broth was a balanced combo of umami/sweet/salty goodness. As good as you'd find on 82nd ave! I tried the beef salad and it wasawesome and light (perfect for a hot summer night). Thank you guys for being so family friendly, kind and attentive :) Iattached one of my husbands go to dishes: the beef vermicelli bowl. Read more

I don’t know what’s happened to this place. It has always been reliable but the past couple of times I’ve eaten here were... disappointing. I ordered the Vermicelli and my son had the Chicken Pad Thai. My meat was over cooked and the sauce that camewith it had no real flavor. My son said his chicken was ok but that there was no real flavor in his meal. The service was goodand the waitresses were friendly, kept our waters filled, and the meal was ready in about 10 minutes. Maybe they have a newcook or they have changed suppliers? This was always a reliable go to for good Thai food but at this point, I will probablylook elsewhere until things improve. Read more
