At VEx – The Vietnam Experience, we bring the heart of Vietnam to Forest Grove. Our vision is simple: honor tradition while celebrating creativity. From comforting bowls of phở and vibrant street-style dishes to handcrafted cocktails and curated spirits, everything we serve reflects our commitment to authenticity, freshness, and quality.

We’re more than a restaurant and bar — we’re a gathering place where culture, flavor, and community meet. Every dish is crafted with care, using fresh ingredients that highlight the soulful, everyday flavors of Vietnam. Every drink tells a story, balancing heritage with innovation.

Whether you’re here to share a family meal, enjoy a night out with friends, or discover something new, our goal is to create moments worth savoring. Welcome to VEx — your passport to the tastes and spirit of Vietnam.

VEx – The Vietnam Experience is under new ownership as of July 2025.

Today, VEx is proudly Vietnamese cuisine paired with a Global Spirit Society—a place where food, culture, and thoughtful drinks come together with purpose.

We are women-owned, veteran-owned, and rooted in the local community.

I’m Yen, and I’ve called Forest Grove home since 2022. My passion has always been simple and sincere: to share culture, tell stories through food, and serve dishes that are comforting, vibrant, and full of heart.

This isn’t just about what’s on the menu. It’s about hospitality, connection, and creating a space that feels warm, intentional, and welcoming.

Thank you for being part of this next chapter of VEx – The Vietnam Experience.
