The very best pho I've ever enjoyed. Visiting from Seattle and stopped in for lunch. Had the chicken pho w/added veggies. Also had the BBQ pork sandwich which was beautifully spiced and light n airy bread. Very delicious the entire meal. Service was warm, friendly and quick. I highly recommend this place.

We just had the most lovely dinner to celebrate my daughter's graduation. We had a party of 19 which was perfect for their event room. The food was amazing. Dat was so gracious to work with and every detail was taken care of. It felt like we were having a meal in someone's home. I recommend whole heartedly!
My husband and I came by for dinner. We ordered a noodle bowl with lemongrass chicken, the bulgogi banh mi, egg rolls, and Thai ice coffee. Everything was absolutely delicious! The food was filling while still being lite. The egg rolls were hot and fresh. The bread used for the banh mi was fluffy with a crispy crust. Overall, it was a delicious dinner.
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.
I'll let the pictures say the rest.
Traditional Bahn Mi with egg, homemade Pho with beef and delicious Limeade.

Update 2023: Still amazing!!!
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.
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!
Cute lil spot in an old house. The veggie pho was so fresh and the veggie rolls were the best I've ever had!
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!

This vegan pho is my favorite. I can't believe I haven't posted review because we've been coming here for years. I don't know how they marinate tofu but it's the best tofu you'll ever try. There's plenty of veggies and noodles as well. They are also very friendly :) Highly recommend!

My family went here to celebrate my Mom's bday recently. The place is very popular and they generally don't do reservations but they made an exception for us. I really appreciate that as my folks are getting older and it is harder for them to wait inline in order to get a seat.
The restaurant is in a converted house with a very noticeable red door. When we sat down at our table my dad made the comment that this would only be authentic Vietnamese if the grandma was working the kitchen... well come to find out the business was sold but the grandma still comes in to work! She was there that evening helping make most of the food.
Speaking of food, the food here is excellent. Portion sizes are decent and filling, and prices are in line for the area. The flavors are wonderful and the menu variety caters to all sorts of diets. In my family we have a variety of diet preferences from a vegetarian, to one who only eats meats, to healthy balanced and one who who can't eat pretty much anything due to a gut issue. In every case they were able to accommodate us.
Overall Lela's delivered a fantastic meal for my mother's bday. You don't have to have a special occasion to come here but just a want for some good Vietnamese cooking.
So delicate. The atmosphere is perfect for a date, a quiet conversation with a delightful cocktail, and some intimacy.
Rhyn was a wonderful bartender who had heart for the place, well worth it!!
The mezcal cocktail won my partners heart; it’s a little spicy.
The gin/vodka martini drink was perfectly blended with soft flavors.
Highly recommend
