A great authentic Vietnamese spot for both local visitors & tourists! We came to Porto on a windy day but felt so comforted with the food here ❤️ As a Vietnamese living in Europe and France precisely, their Phở might be the best I’ve ever had outside of Vietnam. Everything is great, the service is super and the servant lady is so nice 😍 she gave me a honey ginger tea because I was coughing since recovering from my bad cold. Highly recommend!!!

A really nice vietnamese place in Porto where it's a gem to find tasty asian food. The place is run by two folks, one taking orders and washing the dishes and the other doing the cooking. It's an intimate business and that adds an appeal to its vibe. There are only 10 seats inside. The Pho was not perfect but it's a welcomed treat for winter in Porto. The pork rice was good and the shrimp roll was good too. All portions are big. I'm giving this place 5 stars as I'd like to support small businesses.

Honest to goodness hearty delicious Vietnamese food. Having visited Hanoi and lived in Melbourne (where there are many Vietnamese origin who calls Australia home), our expectation towards Vietnamese food is high. I won’t say this is the best ever but it is the best amongst those we tried in Amsterdam, London and Porto. We wiped the bowl of ‘pho’ and ‘bun’ clean :) Next time we’ll not pour all the sauce for ‘bun’ so that it is less salty (from the fish sauce). The price point is hard to beat in my opinion. €17.50 for the 2 bowls we had. Thank you and all the best team!

We were on a tour and haven't had any Asian food in several days so everyone was craving for some good Asian food and we are so glad we found this place only 2 minutes walk away from our hotel, the NH in the heart of Porto. It is a tiny restaurant with seating for just 10 people so the 5 of us took up the majority of the interior space. We really enjoyed the food even though they were just a bit on the salty side. But everything in Portugal has been salty so far, we figured it may be the preference of the Portuguese people. We all still felt like it was the tastiest meal we've had throughout our trip. The menu consists of a small number of items but it was enough. The kitchen is just behind the bar from the seating area. The food is authentic and the prices very reasonable. The 2 ladies (a server and a cook) were also very friendly, They have only been opened for 8 months and to get such a high rating with such a small seating capacity, you know it's gotta be pretty good. I would recommend this place.

Craving some Asian food yesterday, I was looking at reviews on google and it pointed me to this place. One of the signs said it was open at 11am but it’s open at 12pm. The pho had a really good star anise, cinnamon, bone broth flavor, though it could have been warmer in temperature as I generally love my soup super hot. I think the most important part of pho is broth and they definitely excelled here, a little sweet and meaty. A nice surprise finding this place in Porto.
