I visited Vietnam a few years ago on a food tour, and this food tasted just like that. We had the Bún with Bò Lá Lốt, the Chả Giò Crispy Rolls, the Gỏi Cuốn Salad Rolls, and the crispy pork belly. The flavors are really interesting and pungent (in a good way) and herby, their housemade fish sauce is perfect, we loved it all. It’s the best Vietnamese food I’ve had in the USA. I can’t wait to eat here again.

Diner Review №4

Deeply love this place, been coming here for years. I don't think I have had a bad experience or bad food. The Tigers wings has ruined wings pretty much everywhere else for me and they have the best Bahn Mi I have ever had.

The food was AMAZING. Best fried rice i’ve ever had to be honest. I really loved the atmosphere. Definitely definitely a cozy place to hang out.

Diner Review №8

Loved everything about Crying Tigers. We shared the massaman-style curry (so frickin good) and garden rolls, and had a couple creative and excellent cocktails. Reasonable prices, very good service, chill atmosphere.

Pho broth is amazing, don't like the fact you are to pay for extra sauce because the tiny amount they give you with the pho. But the food is great!

Diner Review №13

... Absolute fire. Got Pho, szechuan pepper wings, Grilled pork lettuce rolls, and sweet potato fries and two GREAT drinks with my girl. Music selection is dope as hell. Name a bar that has better vietnamese food and a wider selection up to midnight with their level of care and customer service. I'll wait...

... Probably will be growing grays by the time you come back. 😂

10/10 always recommend. Second time back and will keep coming back.

Diner Review №14

Great eats open late — try the specialty cocktails, you won’t be disappointed. Griffin and Sequoia made my visit one to remember!

Diner Review №15

Food was delicious Staff was kind and not intrusive. It is a perfect spot for a quick bite, hanging out with friends or a date. The peanut sauce is the best I have had in a long time

Diner Review №16

Food is always good here.

Diner Review №17

how this place isn’t a 5-star based on the service and phó alone is beyond me.

Diner Review №19

OMG! This place made me fall back in love with food. Your taste buds have never experienced the amount of flavor this place delivers. By far the best! Food is absolutely impeccable and the service is exceptional!!!! Keep it up Short Round, your food should litterally be in every city!!!

Diner Review №21

These wings were delicious! It's nice to see a place in Portland open late and they have good bar seating. Service is good, really good vibe!

Diner Review №22

Sorry no photos I starting scarfing as soon as the food arrived…had the stew and baguette and stir fry pork with basil….food was so flavorful I had my doubts with late night places then I got smacked a flavor back hand good job guys

Diner Review №23

Far better than average, everything we had was delicious. Tofu Banh Mi, salad rolls, wings, cocktails, all of it was very enjoyable and tasty. Even something as simple as sweet potato fries were far above average. Service was very fast but everything was clearly made after ordering considering the freshness and flavor. We will be back! Thank you and yum!!

Diner Review №28

Diner Review №29

Great little bar

Diner Review №30

Exceedingly good food. I've had takeout several times, ordering their wings, minced pork over rice dish, roles, and chicken noodle dish. Flavor and execution are constantly top notch.

I think this place is certainly excellent Vietnamese, and one of the best restaurants in the city.

Diner Review №31

The food is delicious here, personally wanna kiss the chef’s hands for doing a such a great job. Staff is friendly too. If you’re looking for good food definitely go with the Short Round!

Diner Review №32

This place is SO LEGIT! Their dry rub wings are to die for. Everything I’ve ever ordered here is good tho. No AC tho so it’s toasty in the summer!

Diner Review №37

Bus yourself but the food is so worth it! The salt pepper squid is so crunchy and tasty! The dumplings are amazing with a delicious sauce! And the Ginyu Smash is a very tasty late night adult beverage ❤️

Love their chicken wings! It’s so delicious! Highly recommend it.

Diner Review №40

Top 3 fave curries in PDX

Diner Review №41

The food here is very good and very fast! The Crying Tiger is a highlight but the salt and pepper squid, Szechuan wings, and many other items were amazing. Staff were super friendly and really attentive. Great service!

Diner Review №42

I love this place. The food is authentic, reasonably priced and quick. They are open late which is a huge plus, and the esthetic inside is also great. One of my favorites in ptown

Diner Review №43

Bottas favorite is top notch! Great spot, especially for late night

Diner Review №44

The food was bomb!!! The squid is soo well seasoned, dumplings are delicious, & the wings are excellent! Very well priced too! The drink menu is well thought out as well. My bf really loved the fried rice & can’t stop talking about it! The waiter was very friendly! This place is the new go to!!

Super cool spot with great food and some of the best house ginger beer I've ever had. Perfect after work spot, especially if you've had a rough day. I enjoyed a pork bahn mi with sweet potato fries while reading the subtitles to Dune on one of their flat screens. Life is good 👍

Diner Review №51

Masterful chive cakes! First time I’ve tasted anything like this—so good 😋 I got the Pho with veggies and tofu as well. Plus the seasonal cocktail (delicious!), made it the perfect me-date night out order.

Diner Review №52

Might be my my new late night (at least for Portland) takeout spot. The Tiger Wings are absolute fire. I love when a dry rub wing is done correctly and the spices/flavor was slap city. They weren’t spicy hot but they have a kick.

The rice was decent. Great on the side of the wings but I’m not sure I would get it by itself. The restaurant itself was a cool vibe.

Diner Review №53

It's my second time here, and both times were wonderful. Ordered the Bö Kho with sticky rice and Thai tea. They know it out of the park on flavor, everything about the food is clearly fresh and homemade. This is easily my new go-to for late night Thai/Viet cuisine. You can't go wrong stopping in here.

Diner Review №54

Dumplings and wings 🔥 Flying Tiger cocktail 🔥

Diner Review №55

Best bahn mi sandwich I’ve ever had anywhere. And I don’t know what they do and what they put on those sweet potato fries, but they rocked my world.

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

Went here for pho, the pho selection is limited (only 2 options for meat) but damn was it delicious. Some of the best pho I've ever had, and lots of other tasty looking options on the menu that I want to go back and try! Very cool looking place too.

Diner Review №58

Really cool spot, open late and fairly priced!
Overall, we had a great time and here are a couple of the dishes that stood out - The grilled pork rolls and Botta’s Favorite!

Diner Review №59

Diner Review №60

Ordered delivery from uber eats. There were tails on the shrimp inside the pork shrimp dumplings...

Diner Review №61

Please take the moldy plant out of your window. Not a good look for a place that seeks food

Diner Review №62

Salty dry wings

Diner Review №63

If your last time here was a year ago or more, check them out. The food and atmosphere are both better than they used to be!

Diner Review №64

Never had I thought that I’d like wings with dry rub so much.

I came to this establishment on a Tuesday evening during the Portland Wing Week. The place was decently crowded and there were many other customers who had come to try the $8 wings. I am not a huge fan of dry rub wings and was a little skeptical while going in.

The wings were the best dry-rub wings I have ever had. The Asian spice mix was the right mix of spicy and tangy. The wings were perfectly crisp and of optimal size. After one plate of 6 wings I was quite full, but it definitely left me wanting for more.

The place was buzzing with all sorts of people (Portland wing week definitely had a role to play in it). The table next to me was occupied by a bunch of Instagram foodies/reviewers and they seemed to also enjoy the wings.

Overall, loved the vibe of the place. Would definitely come again to try other foods and drinks!

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №70

Love their wings and the staff are quick and reserved matter ethnicity they try their best to accommodate

Diner Review №71

The pho was really flavorful and it comes with a little sauce dish for the meat! Usually I have to ask for that. The calamari was crispy! I really enjoyed this place. Me and my friend CLEARED our table <3

Diner Review №72

Pretty good food. Fairly pricey, but got good portions. Banh Mi was the highlight, everything else was satisfactory. Staff was nice!

Diner Review №73

This place is amazing! I had a wonderful time here with my friends. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. The bartender was super friendly and patient while I picked out my food and drink. He made some great recommendations and was very attentive.
The place has a chill vibe and a cozy atmosphere. It was easy to chat with the employees. I love how late they are open, so you can enjoy your night without worrying about closing time.
The food is incredible. I cannot recommend the Bahn Mi and dumplings enough. The Bahn Mi was fresh and flavorful, with sweet potato fries on the side that were perfect. The dumplings were juicy and tender. I will dream of that Bahn Mi for sure.

Diner Review №74

They have a bar inside serving all sort of alcohol. Their food are mainly Laotian. The restaurant/bar is clean. The Pho they serve are made fresh; it has it's own personal flavor that is uncommon. It is wheelchair accessible and because there is no sign of ages I believe kids are welcome as well. A++

Diner Review №75

Diner Review №76

A gem among gems….standouts here include the wings and shrimp pork dumplings.
Lettuce wraps and fried rice are great too.

Diner Review №77

Diner Review №78

We ordered fried rice, pad kra pao, pork belly, and the mule! All delicious. The pork belly reminds me of lechon kawali (a filipino dish) so that was nice. We will definitely come back. The service is great too.

Diner Review №85

Diner Review №86

Good food, awful service.
Placed a to-go order at the counter. There were a total of 2 other tables being served. It took 30 minutes to get our food. Turns out the bag that was sitting there for at least 15 minutes was our order. The young guy at the bar just forgot about us.

Diner Review №87

Fire. Amazing menu at real prices. Post at the bar and watch the action in the long kitchen. Underrated

Diner Review №88

Diner Review №89

The bahn mi was AMAZING

Diner Review №90

The big wins on the menu are the crispy smelt and the fish sauce bloody mary. Go for happy hour and try all the things.

Diner Review №91

Seems like it must be new owners? Food is not the same and unfortunately not nearly as good. Wahhhhhh.

Diner Review №92

We sat at the bar and had beers and appetizers and got our entrees to go. Loved being able to see into the kitchen, and the food videos on TV were a nice touch. Service was outstanding, all the food we ordered was cooked fresh and served piping hot. We will be having dreams about those wings! We also had the chive cakes, a lovely and simple street food we really enjoyed. Banh mi with Chinese sausage was fantastic. New Owner is Thai so now they have a mix of Vietnamese and Thai food. Can't wait to try the other banh mi and the pho some time. Will definitely be back!

Love the bowls, pho and Botta’s favorite.

Diner Review №102

Been coming here for years. Great pho! Service spectacular, especially with to-go packaging which is nearly prepared and includes plum sauce and Sriracha! Devoured the dish, will add pics next visit. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №103

Diner Review №104

I have had the Banh Mi on two different occasions. First time it was great... Last night the Banh Mis were dry. I also decided to try the fish sauce wings and they came without sauce which was disappointing. Either way I will be trying again, and will be checking for sauce before I leave (or eating in person)

Diner Review №105

I like this bar a lot, tasty banh mi and a nice tap list.

Diner Review №113

This place is Amazing! The grilled mussels go hard! The wings are on point! Service A+. They got $$ but I promise it's worth it. Like Nicki said tho: Who..Who even looks at the $...😂

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

Food was great. Pho had tender beef, salad rolls were fresh with delicious peanut sauce. Curry was excellent as well. Only deducting a star for the price because I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than $12 for a bowl of pho, even a large one. Theirs was $16. I don’t live in Portland so maybe that is the standard here but in my experience pho is usually quite a bit cheaper.

Diner Review №116

Diner Review №117

Diner Review №118

The barn mi is incredible! Stoked to see Thit Kho on the menu as well!

Diner Review №119

This place has the best salad rolls. I’ve been many places and even made my own salad rolls but this place has it figured out! The service is amazing too I thought the clerk was extremely positive. I found my new roll spot!

Diner Review №120

Nice portions and wonderful staff

The broth in their pho is some of the best I've ever had. A must try

Diner Review №128

One of our favorite restaurants in Portland. Their happy hour Bahn Mi and Pho are the best in town!

Diner Review №129

Muy rico el sandwich que me comí 😋

Diner Review №130

GO BEN & INNA

Diner Review №131

Get their banh mi! The pork, chicken and tofu are all excellent. They also make a great old fashioned or if you are trying to keep it traditional, gran a Singha on tap! Yum and you welcome.

Diner Review №132

So disappointed. For $12 you'd think you'd at least get some rice or more than a cup of veggies. This may be the saddest main dish I've ever ordered in my life.

Had the Bún chả ages ago and it was ok but I don't think I'll be coming back.

Note: updated to add a star because my friend's pho was good, but still think the veggie dish was a huge letdown.

Diner Review №133

Best restaurant and bar in Portland

Diner Review №134

Best Bahn-mi EVER

Diner Review №135

Best vietnamese food on town. I go here as much as I can.

Diner Review №136

Diner Review №137

I love this place so much and I've been there thrice. Twice for pickup and once for drinks. The first time I had the pleasure was when I delivered an order for Postmates from there and it smelled sooooo good, I knew I would try it out. And I did. I had ordered the "Chinese sausage & eggs banh mi" and the "Thit Kho" from Postmates ALL THE TIME. And when I say all the time, I mean there was a week where I ordered it daily. There was a time where they were out of the Chinese sausage and I scoured Portland to find an alternative option...I did not find an equal. And don't get me started on the Thit Kho. That is my all-time favorite dish and they are the only place I know that does it right.
Sadly I have moved from Portland but I will say when I return, I will satiate my need for proper Thit Kho and a breakfast banh mi again!

Diner Review №138

Diner Review №146

One of the best late night places in portland. Closes at midnight so not that late night. Great late night happy hour.

Diner Review №147

I ordered a tofu bahn mi and they served me chicken. It's dark in there so I took a bite and was very unpleasantly surprised. I mentioned it to the server and they immediately picked it up (and I assume threw it away) and made me a new one. I was very unimpressed with this. Snatching the dish from the table doesnt fix the fact that they served a vegetarian a meat dish. And the food could have been eaten by my friend, but instead went directly to waste. My first time trying to go I got there before they closed, but when i walked in the bartender just gave a "cut off" hand motion without even saying hello. And this visit the service was very slow. Otherwise, the food was good.

Diner Review №153

Really nice place

Diner Review №154

Definitely some of the best food on Hawthorne

Diner Review №155

The food here is really good and unique. My favorite was the rare filet mignon tossed in lime juice with peanuts. I wouldn't recommend the sugarcane shrimp. It's kind of cakey and not how I envisioned. Also, the service was a bit slow. They really just had one person taking orders and working the bar. I would go back for a small bite.

Diner Review №156

Diner Review №157

Really great happy hour, and also open late. Hard to find restaurants in Portland open after 10pm but this one is a great choice.

Diner Review №158

Great ambience with fantastic and tasty bar food. Try all the small dishes/ plates so that you can savor each delicious meal! The cooks have definitely got something right. You can taste the different flavors in your mouth!

Diner Review №160

Delicious....Bahn Mi my guys...My god you guys have awesome staff, taasty spirits and to die for food. Well done I’m a new usual 🤟🏽

Diner Review №161

Decent food, good service. The chair backs don't support you, and you can't not have a T.V. in your field of view.

Diner Review №162

Its pretty good, got me laid

Diner Review №163

This place was recommended while randomly walking around and I'm so glad I happened to be near. The restaurant is small and cozy, the food and drinks were to die for. Fresh squeezed OJ in my screwdriver and the pho had filet mignon!

Diner Review №164

The staff is always so attentive, nice, accommodating, thorough, & chill with consistently good food!!

Diner Review №165

Diner Review №166

Very good pho and fresh rolls, nice ambiance and service as well

The happy hour (3-6) is great, with good food and wonderfully crafted cocktails!

Diner Review №170

Diner Review №171

Stopped by here for some late night eats and were very impressed. Has a great variety of food, and asian eats. The mezcal cocktail was also really good. It's a great spot if you're looking for things like pho, oysters, Vietnamese sandwiches, and vermicelli bowls.

Ordered the chicken pho, got beef pho. Pho was delicious. Even though my order was not taken accurately it was good. Sorry can't give the 5 star review due to the inaccuracy from the waiter/staff. Being attentive and listening to your customer requests for an order can go a long way!
