Pho Van will soon close its SE Hawthorne location, the Oregonian reports. Pho Van's other three area locations — on SE 82nd, in the Pearl District, and in Beaverton — will remain open. Owner Lam Van says that the Hawthorne restaurant's lease is up, and he thus plans to focus his attention on Pho Van's burgeoning chain in Beijing: "It's a lot easier to make money in China right now."
