Discover a casual Vietnamese gem in Beaverton where tasty pho, flavorful banh mi, and refreshing bubble teas await in a friendly atmosphere.
"Beavertonians and visitors to the suburb drop into this cafe to sit down to Vietnamese dishes like shaken beef, banh xeo, and bun rieu. Tan Tan’s fresh avocado, durian, or jackfruit smoothies are a not-too-sweet complement to meals, available plain, or with bubbles or jelly. Before leaving, peruse the deli section for take-home items like house-made meats and pate and pantry goods like the deli’s vegan fish sauce." - Krista Garcia, Janey Wong, Eater Staff
"Downtown Beaverton’s Tan Tan Deli has one of the most extensive Vietnamese menus in the Portland metro area, which is why it should not come as a surprise that it’s one of the only places that serves Vietnamese dumplings in town. While the pan-fried pork and vegetable dumplings are similar to potstickers, the banh gio is a whole different ballgame: These glutinous rice flour dumplings come steamed and wrapped in banana leaves, stuffed full of pork and wood ear mushroom." - Thom Hilton, Seiji Nanbu, Eater Staff
"Tan Tan is a family-owned business that precedes the establishment of Beaverton’s “restaurant row,” having operated off of Southwest Broadway for more than 20 years. The menu dives into a range of Vietnamese foods hard to find at many Portland restaurants, from ca ri, a yellow curry with rice, noodles, or French bread, to the hot-and-sour soup canh chua. Tan Tan plays it simple but intentional with its pho offerings, serving a reliably stuffed pho dac biet containing just about every common pho beef cut imaginable. Those seeking something simpler can choose from two meats for their pho, or even more minimalist with just broth and rice noodles." - Janey Wong, Krista Garcia

"This stalwart Vietnamese restaurant spot has a reliable spot for pho, banh mi, and other standbys since the ‘90s, but its more recent development of bottled sauces has made it easier to try to replicate those flavors at home. The shop’s vegan fish sauce and hoisin are particular hits." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
