The Best Soups in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"No list of Portland noodle soups would be complete without Luu-Vuong family’s brilliant stable of delicious Vietnamese soups. At Rose VL, sister restaurant Ha VL, and newborn sibling Annam VL, a rotating schedule of noodle soups thrill customers daily. On Fridays, the restaurant’s shrimp cake soup coats your mouth with umami-laden broth, while hunks of tomatoes, shrimp cake, Vietnamese ham, and a pile of herbs mingle in the bowl. However, any visit to Rose VL is going to involve some form of exceptional noodle soup — even if it isn’t on Friday." - Rebecca Roland
