It's time for a souper-bowl party!

Yes, Yelp faithful, it's wintertime pho real in the PacNW, and nothing says "warm welcome" quite like a big, hot, steaming bowl of Vietnamese noodle soup. So gather 'round the tureen as this Weekly ladles up a souper list of the most pho-nominal places to get busy with that bangin' broth in Bridge City!
“How do you pick your pho when there are so many pho'n places to get it from?” Simple, according to Johana M. “I yelped it” and came up with Pho Hung. The result? “Without question, delicious.” Vi B proclaims that Pho Oregon’s “food is like something my aunt would cook for a birthday party: no cheap imitations, and portioned to try and fatten up her petite niece (who doesn't need it, mind you).” And Janessa P gladly signs the Pho PDX report card: “A+ for Vegan Options, A+ for friendly and helpful counter staff, A+ for roomy and semi-comfortable seating,” and a solid “A for taste and quality.” Pho-kin' A's all around!
Does suburban pho exist? The “$5-pho-every-day" deal at Pho Hoa Hong has Alexander L phreaking out, and what's that? "It's actually really good? Wait, we're in Beaverton?! This place is awesome.” Meanwhile, Sean G was “shocked to see the word 'Pho' in the drive-through-me town of Sherwood,” where he found Pho Ty. “Their broth is rich, the condiments plentiful, the servings appropriate, and the tea free-flowing." And Rob C admits that local mini-chain Pho Van “is a little more Americanized” than average, but that's okay. "I love pho and bun, but I don't necessarily need bull nards floating around in it.” No ifs, ands, or balls about it!
Terry W claims that he's been "looking for something to knock my socks off, and Ha VL does the trick in a big way.” While they “don't bowl you over with quantity, the obvious care in preparation is notable and unique to any pho place." Meanwhile, Ash A gets pho-nky with Pho Gia, which is not only sustain-a-bowl, but offers a souper "veggie pho, which has a flavorful five-spice broth, and is loaded with broccoli, mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, and tofu." For a dose of "awesome stuff on a wet Portland day," Sherri M heads to Pho Jasmine, where the veggie pho has "nice broth that's not too salty, sometimes 3 kinds of tofu and loads of crisp veggies." Sounds like the perfect phodown.
