Thanh-long Bakery & Rest, Portland, Oregon Restaurant Details

Food:

I'm a big fan of pho, and I decided to come into Thanh Long for a quick bite to eat on my lunch break. I had intended to order a "super bowl" (pho), but when I realized the price was $11.50 I changed my mind. That's $2.00-$3.00 more expensive than any other pho restaurant I've been to. I ended up ordering a large pho with beef brisket for $9.50. What arrived at my table was the blandest bowl of pho I've ever had. I tried to add some flavor with the provided garnishes, but it was pointless. It was like eating a bowl of brown dishwater. I'll take my business elsewhere next time.

Food:

Went in right before lunch time so there was only a couple people in the restaurant. The greater took me to a table right away threw the menu on the table and walked away before I could say anything didn't ask if i wanted anything to drink. Although I already knew what I waited about 20 minutes for someone to come take my order when no one showed up I walked up to the front desk only to find the guy talking on the phone. I ordered and the food came out pretty quickly. It tasted good but had very little chicken so basically I paid $10 for a of bowl of broth and noodles. Not worth it. The waiter did not check in or come back to give me the check. Food is overpriced but decent. service was horrible.

Food:

I had better Pho. The ginger was a little overwhelming in the broth.
I honestly would have prefer squeezing Sriracha out of the actual bottle, but hey better nice style a had going.

But the staff are amazing. Kudos to that. Water was never empty.

Food:

Some of the best crepes I have eaten, hands down. It is a very local, down-to-earth place. Kind of a hole in the wall restaurant. Great for mixing things up between the typical lunch options.

Food:

Yummy Vietnamese food. Their salad rolls are a little pricey but I used to get them all the time before I had class. Everything else is cheap and the pho is good if you have time to sit down and eat. Service is also fast and good. Atmosphere is whatever, weird Asian artwork that doesn't match but who cares.
