Pho Nam - Vietnamese Noodle Place

Pho Nam is a Vietnamese Noodle restaurant located at Progress Ridge in Tigard, Oregon.  Pho is a Vietnamese noodle that is served in beef soup broth with onions and bean sprout.  The beef soup broth has a lot of flavor in it.  Other than just selling Pho, Pho Nam also offers other Vietnamese meals such as Lemongrass Grill Chicken.


The restaurant is conveniently located at the popular Progress Ridge plaza.  We love coming to Progress Ridge and spent an afternoon here. Sometimes we head to La Provence for brunch and spent the afternoon by the pond and also watch movie at Cinetopia.  The New Season Market at Progress Ridge is also quite a large and popular super market that sells organic food. 

We came to this plaza today to buy an expansion pack of the popular board game of Catan. When we got to the toy store, there were 4 different expansion pack to choose from and at the end we chose to buy Sea Fare because this expansion can be played with other expansions as well.  After we purchased the game, we headed to Pho Nam for our long waited dinner.

We walked in into the restaurant and we were so lucky that there is just one empty table ready for us. We sat down quickly and ordered our dinner right away.  This time we ordered a traditional Pho and Lemongrass Grill Chicken on rice.

The first dish that got delivered to the table is Lemongrass Grill Chicken.  The grill chicken smelled really good and the chicken is perfectly grilled. It has the sweet taste.  The only down side is that there was not a lot of chicken on the dish. I was expecting at least 1.5 times more.

The next dish is the Pho.  I asked the server not to add cilantro because I do not like the taste of cilantro.  After the Pho is placed on the table, I immediately put the bean sprout into the beef soup to let it cook a bit. I had a sip of the soup and it taste really good.  Unlike other Pho that I have had before, the beef soup broth at Pho Nam is a bit sweeter.  The sweetness in the soup actually made the soup better! I really loved it.

In general, I will come to Pho Nam again because I really love the beef soup broth at this restaurant, but I don't thin Lemongrass Grill Chicken is worth the price to order.
