Mekha Grill

If you walk through the front door and think, "This place is really small," then prepare to be amazed. The patio outback is a gorgeous little oasis with long picnic benches. The man serving me was very friendly and invested in my experience. Food was excellent. It gave me strong nostalgia flashbacks to my youth in SE Asia. This is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Portland.

I have been searching for the perfect Pho for years, one to rival my favorite place in Seattle. MeKha Grill is small and unpretentious, but full of surprises. When you walk in the door, you're greeted by the owner with a welcoming smile and classical music playing over the speakers. Yep. Totally unexpected to hear classical, but the owner likes it. The menu lists a vegetarian Pho at the top, and it was delicious. Anywhere can cook Pho, but there is magic when the broth is perfectly balanced. I visited with family, each of us ordering something different from the menu. My youngest cousin had a yellow chicken curry, which we all loved. I highly recommend this Portland jewel!

Awesome Vietnamese restaurant. It’s authentic and entertaining as the owners were yelling back and forth to each other in Vietnamese. It was kinda chilly inside so we had to keep our jackets on but the delicious pho distracted us. I had the veggie pho and it was satisfying and yummy. We also split a tofu banh mi and it’s one of the better ones I’ve tried in Portland. I definitely will go back here.

Loveliest experience. The employees were so so kind and the food came out quickly. The salad rolls were very nice and fresh! The vegetarian pho was sweet but still super good! My mom got the vermicelli which had the most flavorful tofu I’ve may have ever consumed, so I personally recommend that. The menu had a lot of choices but not an overwhelming amount, and the prices weren’t bad at all. Such a nice vibe, go here go here!!!!!!!
