Mouth-watering cuisine! This is my go-to place for Vietnamese or Thai food in SW Portland. I've really enjoyed their pho and vermicelli bowls, along with their drunken noodles and Thai curries (which are awesome!) They even have chicken wings on the menu that are just so good! The employees here are incredibly nice. Such a great spot to grab some grub!

This is a local gem for Thai food. We all had different food from Pad, curry, fried rice, fresh veggies and egg rolls. Thier egg rolls were one of the least oily fresh roll I've had. You get 4 but we'll worth the price. The Pad had 8 very good sized shrimp and they flavor was well done and not too spicy. The curry was a good blend and again not too spicy. The veggies tasted fresh and not over cooked. The staff was extremely friendly and engaged with the customers. The food came out fast for being so busy (6 pm). A lot of take out at this place. We dined in and it was comfy and quite for the amount of take out that was happening. We will definitely be back.

Looking for delicious Vietnamese food? Check. Delicious Thai Food? Check. Little bit of American? Sure! This place has it all. The owner, Kent, is very friendly and welcoming. If you have to wait a little bit to be seated, to get your order taken, please be patient; it comes with the territory of having a slight skeleton crew, but the wait will be worth it I promise. The to-go orders speak for themselves. Waves and waves of people come in. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Absolutely amazing! One of those places you just want to tell everyone about. CTbistro Viet is a perfect blend of Thai and Vietnamese flavors that truly taste authentic and homey. I had the Pad Thai and Pho — both were incredibly delicious, well-balanced, and made with super fresh ingredients. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the cozy, simple decor made the whole experience even better. Honestly, this was one of the best Asian food experiences I’ve had, and I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!

I don’t post reviews on here very often but I had to pop on here to support this place. The food was unbelievably delicious (best egg roll I’ve ever had hands down) and the service was amazing—the owner was so friendly and engaging and the server politely helped us pack up our extra food. Portion sizes were great for the price and everything was just so delicious—perfect flavor profiles, perfectly seared beef, nothing under-or-overcooked. Can’t wait to visit again

We went here for our daughter’s birthday. They were absolutely fantastic. The service ended up being a little slow and he went above and beyond in making sure that we were taken care of! We will absolutely be back great food 1000% recommend! Excuse the photos I was hungry.

We had the S1 Pho Bo. Soup is rich, flavorful, and delicious. The beef was a little dry but the rest were good. We added the tripe and tendon as well. The place is always a bit too dark for me (photo is a lot brighter than IRL).
