A nice lunch is to be found here! The bread in my Bahn Mi was crispy and warm and the condiments inside were freshest and the pork was tender. I choose the vegetarian soup that that was a nice compliment to the sandwich.

Excellent dining experience at Lela’s Bistro. Thai food done right. You sense that everything is prepared fresh, the made-to-order vibe is supported by the tantalizing aromas and the endless churn of customers picking up their takeout and filling up the indoor and patio seating areas.

Cute lil spot in an old house. The veggie pho was so fresh and the veggie rolls were the best I’ve ever had!

This place is definitely overpriced. Paid $10 for 2 shrimp and pork spring rolls, which were just ok. Not worth the price. Also ordered beef pho. Very small portion for the price. We waited over 30 mins to be served. Convenient location, but there are better pho places

I don’t even know where to start. The food here is absolutely amazing, we tried the BBQ Pork Banh Mi which was absolutely delicious, even their broth is delicious! To pair with your favorite foods they have a combination of both in house drinks and popular brands but I tell you what, their mint tea… absolutely incredible, had me wanting to go back for more food and drinks! To top it all off… Every employee was absolutely so sweet and genuine with their service that it really tied together the experience and feeling like you’re not only welcome, but like you’re at home. Speaking of home! The ambience of this restaurant is absolutely incredible, it was the cutest location to go for on a date! 10/10 would recommend to all my friends and family. So much authenticity goes into the food and culture here.

Personally, I wouldn’t come back place for taste. I have been a lot of Pho place and this is one of my bottom of my list. The portion size doesn’t match with price 15.5. The size of curry was so small with $15 charge. I understand the inflation but the beauty of pho is having a big bowl of deep and flavorful broth. I should’ve read one of the review saying that sweet broth like dessert and i also don’t like upfront tip because you don’t know what service you would get next if you come here first time. I wouldn’t give that much tip if we had to put our dirty dishes and serve our water by ourselves. I gave two stars only because of nice staff.

Kelby welcomed us with his warm and friendly smile and set the tone for what was to come! I ordered the vegetarian pho and appreciated the flavorful broth and fresh, crisp veggies. The Singha was the perfect compliment to the savory noodle soup. This is a clean and simple restaurant that filled our tummies with delicious and healthy food! Come here out of the Portland rain to enjoy a warm and tasty meal!

My mom and I went to Lela’s on a sunny Saturday afternoon and had the best meal. We ordered the lemongrass spring rolls, vegitarian pho, and beef pho. The beef pho was incredible and the spring rolls were the best I’ve ever had. My mom liked the vegitarian pho also and we split the spring rolls. The peanut sauce was very good and the rolls were tender and delicious. We also loved the space inside and the outdoor seating was very popular. Thank you Grandma Lela’s Kitchen!
