Description
Thơm is a Vietnamese restaurant in northeast Portland's Concordia neighborhood, specializing in pho. Portland Monthly Karen Brooks has described the restaurant, which has a seating capacity of 10, as "tiny" and "casual". She wrote, "The feel is of stepping into a hidden studio in a mid-century home—blonde wood everywhere, painterly shades of green, a trio of hanging Isamu Noguchi Akari light sculptures, and customized wood speakers, four of them, strategically placed around the room." The menu has included Phở Bo, Phở Chay, Bún Thịt Nướng, and Cơm Gà, vermicelli, and rice plates.History
