The updated rules will go into effect in March, a little over a year after restaurant owner Eddie Dong was forced to close his Pho Gabo at 7330 N.E. Fremont St. after consistent complaints from a smell-sensitive neighbor. Dong continues to operate Pho Gabo locations in Hillsboro and Happy Valley.

The 5-year-old restaurant’s surprise closure marked the end of an 18-month struggle for Dong. Despite deep cleaning the exhaust system and moving meat grilling to another Pho Gabo location, the Portland restaurant had continued to receive complaints from a single upset neighbor, leading to visits from a city inspector and growing fines.
