Pho Lavang: a welcoming place with memorable Salt & Pepper Squid!
Finding ourselves in Lake Oswego on yet another dark and drizzly January evening, we were quickly attracted to Pho Lavang. Its bright and cheery building perched alongside Boones Ferry Road immediately caught our eye.
As we approached the front entrance, we noticed that the restaurant was about ready to close. Hesitantly, we opened the door to inquire if it was too late for a quick dinner. To our delight, we were warmly greeted by the owner. "No problem," he graciously announced, "come on in and enjoy yourselves." Now, that's a warm welcome any time, but we found it especially appealing on this dreary January night.
Even though the menu was diverse and extensive, we weren't ready for a big dinner so we chose to share a plate of Salt & Pepper Squid. Perfect choice! A great preparation and presentation! In fact, this just may be the best rendition of Salt & Pepper Squid that we've tasted in the Portland area!
Kudos to the owner/chef and many thanks for his generous spirit on this frosty, starless night!
