PHO VAN, HAWTHORNE DISTRICT

We had intended to check out the "American vegetarian" restaurant on the corner but fortunately found it closed, forcing us to stop by Pho Van. Everybody at the table agreed, it was not just the best Vietnamese we had tried in PDX, it was the best Vietnamese we had had in SF too. Loved the pho, the noodle bowl, the tofu, the salad, the coffee. The girls loved it too, and were presented with a bowl of something to nosh on within two minutes of asking. The best news of all, apparently they have restaurants all over town, a veritable Empire of Van. We look forward to visiting them all. (What is "American vegetarian anyway?)
