Reviews for The Boiling Bowl in Portland, OR
I wanted bánh mì, and came here based upon the numerous recommendations that I had read. I’ll start by saying that the... waitress was very kind (which I did appreciate), and that the food was good. With that being said, the napkin that was placed onthe table was clearly stained, and the portion size within the bánh mì itself bordered laughable (it was mostly bread, andvegetables). I would like to give this place a better rating, but I can’t. Read more
The Boiling Bowl is my favorite! Everything I've had is delicious. My favorites are the pork spring rolls, spicy beef noodle... soup & the chicken salad. Everything is so flavorful and authentic tasting. They also have great service and drinks. I loved mymoscow mule it was perfectly balanced. Must try!! Read more
The pho was standard and they also served fried rice and cocktails which was an interesting pairing but good.
Never been here before but we were in the neighborhood. The atmosphere was really cool and the staff was very professional. Soup... was a little cold and I am not sure why, but I'm definitely going to eat there again. And they do have bubble tea! Read more
Very underwhelming. I got the crab, pho, and bobba and I picked it up and the total was around $40. The prices are ridiculous.... Since when was a bowl of pho $18? The crab was around $16 and was just two pieces. There was nothing special to make it costmore. Also the portions were not even generous. I wouldn’t go back. Read more
A solid place to get some pho in the NW area. The interior is nice and well decorated. I ordered the #1 - Pho Dac Biet and it... was pretty good. The broth had a good flavor and the meat was also tasty. Soups, especially pho, are great to have on a coldrainy day. I wouldn't mind trying some other items next time. Read more
Stopped in around 3 pm. No one else really around. Service was excellent. Enjoyed the modern Vietnamese music playing. Food was... tasty and the wait was not long. Good selection of vegan choices! I ordered the yellow curry bowl. And the vegan spring rollswere the best we've ever had! Read more
Today was my first visit to this restaurant after many people suggested I check it out. I came in for a late lunch around 3pm. I... was greeted at the door and instructed to sear myself. Shortly after I was seated I ordered a appetizer. I got the Ga Satay asrecommended by my server and asked for it to come before the meal. After about 5 minutes the server came back to take my orderand I got the Bo Kho (F3 on the menue). I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of my orders once they arrived. The food wasexcellent and I would definitely enjoy eating more of it. I was disappointed that my food and appetizer came together eventhough I asked to have the appetizer first and the service definitely left something to be desired. This is why I only rated itwith 3 stars. I think that if the service was improved this would be a must visit location for a date night or a lunch withfriends. Read more
