Phở Nguyên Restaurant

"Phở Nguyên serves some of the richest, meatiest pho in town. Carnivores will find an impressive list of options including round, flank, tendon, brisket, tripe, and meatballs. For those who aren’t willing to risk driving home with a hot bowl of pho, Nguyen also offers rice and vermicelli plates loaded with crispy grilled pork and shrimp." - Rebecca Roland, Nick Townsend, Thom Hilton

"For carnivores who judge a bowl of pho based on the amount of meat it contains, Pho Nguyen delivers the beefy goods. Even so, the rich, no-need-for-condiments broth would make this Raleigh Hills restaurant a top contender if there were a Portland pho contest. While the pho doesn’t need extra seasoning, a spoonful of chile oil doesn’t hurt, either." - Janey Wong, Krista Garcia

This Vietnamese restaurant has absolutely ruined Vietnamese rice plate dishes for me. I cannot have com thit nuong (rice with grilled pork) anywhere else. My dad also swears by the pho and he's pretty picky about where he eats. These are all subjective opinions of course though, but they are run by lovely people and are worth a try!
