    Vegetable roll, and satay
    Jackie W.

    This is a small quaint restaurant where you will be served authentic homemade tasting Thai food. We heard about this place from our neighbor and decided to try them. It did not disappoint, great serving sizes and the food was fresh with lots of flavor. We ordered vegetable rolls, satay, tom yum soup, pad Thai, red curry chicken and white rice. I can't say which one I enjoyed most because everything was delicious, great presentation and lots of flavors. Our server was also very pleasant which made the experience special. This is a must if you're looking for authentic Thai food. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes.

    This restaurant is truly a gem in our neighborhood. It's in an unassuming plaza by AdventHealth East, but once you get inside you find a nice, clean restaurant with some of the tastiest food! The owner/chef/waitress/hostess and is running back and forth between diners while managing the kitchen and sending off to-go orders. I am so happy to see she's staying busy and hope you make your way to visit Budsaba!

    Blue Sky Lemonade

    My wife ordered the Blue Sky Lemonade. It was sweet and fresh with notes of berries and topped with a sprig of fresh basil. We started our dinner adventure with an order of the Moo Ping appetizer. We were served four skewers of succulent pork with a side sauce. The pork was very juicy and very well seasoned. The delicate sauce added an aroma of spices and herbs to the pork completing a perfecting opening act. For dinner we ordered the Green Curry and the Larb Gai salad. The Green Curry offered spice levels 1-5, I opted in for 4. The flavors were bright and showcased the fresh ingredients fully. From the egg plant to the pieces of bamboo, each flavor offered itself as the hero in each bite. The blend of ingredients created a masterpiece that I would absolutely order again. The Larb Gai salad was fresh and delicious. The minced chicken with fresh shallots and scallions was served with sprigs of lettuce to eat with. Each bite exposed a new depth of mint, cilantro, and lime while staying true to the sour and spicy notes intended for the chicken. I would highly recommend this dish. The restraunt itself has the comfort of family dining mixed with the elegant edge of fine dining. While the prices are affordable, the seating arrangement is limited but feels exclusive in this smaller establishment. We were very comfortable and felt important to the staff. We are always on the look out for a great Thai place, and i know we found it here.I cannot wait to visit again.

    Great food, wonderful service and worth going back! The place was mostest and perfectly welcoming to let the food shine!

    Thai Papaya salad
    Susan L.

    Cozy Thai restaurant off Chickasaw trail filling a void in that area. We only ordered the papaya salad to go since we had already a protein at home for dinner. It also helps us judge the quality of a Thai restaurant, we also do the same with a red curry. We got the plain papaya salad, which was very good, what I really liked is that she offered it in a mild flavor and then gave my husband the chili to put on his side after we asked for medium Thai hot that was a lifesaver for me. I like spicy but spicy doesn't like me anymore. The only thing I would be cautious of if you are vegetarian or don't eat pork that you request there are no pork rinds on it. We were kind of surprised it came that way and I'm sure for some people that would be awesome. The chef was one of the original chefs at Isaan Zaap. She wanted to do a more homey Thai place. I think she achieved that goal very nicely. I will definitely go back and try some of the other dishes.

    First time here, service was amazing, you get the cozy vibe in the store and they put in love and consideration to every plate and decor. I like the beef salad dish, beef was juicy and sauce was great, tom yum soup is the best ever with a great balance of spicy and sour taste, a little disappointment on the pork because it's too dry and difficult to chew but overall still an awesome meal!!

    Back at it again, Good to great .

    The food was seriously good actually, great! Everything tasted fresh, the flavors were on point, and there wasn't a single dish I didn't enjoy. Definitely worth another visit.

    First fish dish, lightly fried, very tasty

This has been my go-to Asian bakery ever since Saigon Market closed down and they have not disappointed. My favorites include the pork floss bun, sponge cakes, and hot dog buns! Personally, I would skip the trendy croissant cubes because they're not as good as they look. It's usually more bread than filling and I've had the same experience with other places too. When it comes to service, I've always had good experiences at Bakery 1908 and I really like how they have a self-ordering kiosk for dishes and drinks if you'd rather skip ordering at the counter. I think the cakes are a little bit more expensive than the buns because of extra craftsmanship but it's completely worth it. For me, the biggest downside to Bakery 1908 is the location. Mills has always been a busy area and it can be hard to leave the parking lot. But otherwise it's completely worth the visit and a lot more accessible than other restaurants there. I love coming back to Bakery 1908 and always try something new every single time I go.

From the moment I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and incredible aromas set the stage for a fantastic dining experience. I ordered a traditional beef pho with added oxtails, and it exceeded all expectations. The broth was rich, deeply flavorful, and clearly simmered with care for hours. Every spoonful delivered a perfect balance of savory spices and comforting warmth. The beef was tender ano plentiful, while the fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeños allowed me to customize each bite exactly to my taste. I also added tendon which was so delicious and melted in your mouth! The portion size was generous, making it an excellent value, and everything tasted exceptionally fresh. I also tried a Vietnamese iced coffee, which provided the perfect sweet and bold complement to the meal. What truly stood out was the combination of authentic flavors, attentive service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you're a longtime pho enthusiast or trying Vietnamese cuisine for the first time, this restaurant is well worth a visit. If you're in the Orlando area and looking for a comforting, flavorful meal, I highly recommend stopping by-you won't leave hungry, and you'll likely be planning your next visit before you even finish your bowl.

Then we had the C10 platter which is this steak platter with vegetables and rice and we also had the Pad Thai. The dishes were so flavorful and the portions are very generous. I honestly will need to come back because they have so many options, including hot pot. Service was so friendly, you literally feel right at home. I cannot wait to be back and try the rest of the menu. Oh and don't forget to order the fried bananas for dessert!

I ordered the $18 Bulgogi hotpot, and it was pure comfort food--the broth had that perfect sweet and savory balance that hits the spot when you want a cozy meal. True to traditional spots in Korea, it came with six different banchan side dishes, and they even offer free, unlimited refills. Apparently, the K-pop group ATEEZ ate here twice when they were in town for their tour. It really feels like one of those "if you know, you know" low-key gems where visiting artists and local professionals go for authentic Korean food. By the way, September is the low season in Orlando--especially with the Magical Dining promotion happening at other local spots. Because of this, Surah has decided to close for lunch from Tuesday through Thursday this month. This means Friday is your only chance in September to catch their amazing, affordable lunch specials. Keep this in mind so you don't show up to a closed restaurant!

It was after 8 p.m. on a Saturday, and the restaurant was pretty much empty. My order was ready ahead of the quoted pickup time, which I appreciated. However, the sandwich didn't quite live up to what I remember. The bread didn't taste as fresh as I expected, and the sandwich was lukewarm instead of warm and toasty like I've experienced at other locations. The Dream Bar was also not quite what I remembered. It didn't have the same richness or taste that made it a favorite for me in the past. I'm not sure if the time of day impacted the quality, but the overall experience just didn't match the Potbelly I remember from Chicago. That said, because I've had great experiences with this brand in the past, I'd be open to giving this location another try.
