Pho Lena is owned and operated by Lena Morisath. After working in retail for several years, Lena and her husband Ace Sihakoth purchased the old Chinese Kitchen on Spenard Road and established Pho Lena in January 2008.

All her life, Lena has always dedicated herself in the kitchen, and has experimented with several meals in an effort to turn a standard Oriental dish into something extraordinary. Since its opening, Pho Lena's massive menu of delicous homemade food has been a huge hit around the Anchorage, AK area. Our quality service, competitive prices, and friendly staff contribute to our success as much as our large, delicious servings of Southeast Asian cuisine.

As of 2010, Lena's son, Davis Keobouala, has returned from his military service and further expanded Pho Lena's presence with our official site and on Facebook.

Pho Lena East began in May 2010 by Lena's sister, Biponh Morisath-Luce.

In October 2015, Pho Lena Express opened in Northway Mall.

In April 2016, Pho Lena Spenard finally upgraded its location and moved from 2904 to 3311 Spenard Rd.

In April 2017, Pho Lena opened its first downtown Anchorage location.
