V lounge & restaurant

"March 2024 update: Pho Vietnam has a new management/owner and name, V restaurant. Other than the fact that it's Vietnamese, this is a totally different restaurant. I would recommend that the owners create a separate Google profile. V is much more posh than the Pho Vietnam. Good news for vegans and vegetarians is that they offer more options. I ordered the vegetables with soft noodles. Points to V on the freshness of the veggies, which included enoki mushrooms. Honestly, I had my heart set on the flavorful vermicelli noodles with lemon grass tofu from Pho Vietnam. I found myself dousing the dish with chili sauce. We started with an order of vegan spring rolls which came with a soy-based sauce rather than a sweet-sour sauce (probably not traditional but not as salty). They seemed to have adequate staff but things seem disorganized. My dish arrived late with my friend nearly completing her meal before my order arrived. Everyone was apologetic and explained that they were still working out the kinks, as they just open (in late February). Another big change is that they serve alcohol. Their bar isn't ready, in fact the whole restaurant is a work in progress. They were literally doing electrical work during our dinner. Also, they were testing their audio/video system, blasting music as we were trying to eat. Bottomline, If you are expecting the same menu as Pho Vietnam, you may be disappointed. I do suspect that their menu is more authentic. If you're going close to when this review has been posted, be prepared that everything is in flux and they may be doing construction during your meal. As always, I encourage you to try V and make up your own mind. Restaurants can a tricky business and we should encourage and support our local restaurant scene. I'll try it again once they're done with the construction and things settle down. ************************************** Pho Vietnam seemed to get overlooked by the Korean restaurant on the corner but it’s definitely worth checking out. I went with my meat eating friend and we both left impressed. Vegetarians have options! I ordered the Vermicelli noodle with Lemon Grass Tofu. Highly recommended. The restaurant was clean and the staff attentive."

"Simple task and the employee couldn't do it. All we asked was a to go box and they couldn't provide a box. Employees couldn't communicate well and service is completely a disappointment. I miss the old staff who were way more customer friendly and actually know what they are doing. The new owner or staffs just stands there and stare while all we asked was a to go box and they couldn't even provide. As well as the lady who had to call her daughter just learn how to use the cash register and still charged us for the wrong order."

"We arrived at 7.31pm and were really hungry from work, but this guy at the checkout said that we were one minute late and he wouldn’t feed us. He offered to take some food and eat outside. I explained to him that we would quickly eat and leave. But he looked with an impudent look and didn’t even offer anything. Disgusting evil people."

"Cute place. Friendly service. My buddy got this soup with pork broth and shrimp in it with ramen noodles. I couldn’t help but pester them to keep on taking spoon fulls of that delicious broth. I ordered lemongrass chicken thigh, it was good. Next time I would ask for just plain fish sauce with Thai chili peppers. The dipping sauce with it was a little sweet for me. I’m excited to go again be t time I’m in Oregon."
