    Ashley T.

    This is definitely a modern Vietnamese spot not your super traditional pho house but still very good. The pho broth was about an 8/10, flavorful and comforting, but the real star was the Bún Bò Huế. My parents were obsessed 10/10, very authentic and even included traditional pig feet, which you don't always see done right. Service was friendly, but he forgot our Thai tea and only brought it after we had already finished eating. He did comp it which we appreciated but it was mentioned very casually. A quick apology or manager touch would have made the experience 5/5. Overall, really good food, great Bún Bò Huế, and a cool vibe. Definitely worth trying 10/10 would come back!

    RARE EYE ROUND & BRISKET PHO l Pho Tai Gau

    Usually this is our favorite Pho restaurant because the food is so good but today we had a disappointing experience with the server Rudy S. He not only forgot to add our drink of Fresh Limeade he also forgot to add the Sticky Ribs to go. He never once checked on us after giving the food. I feel like it does not justify the "Auto-gratuity" this restaurant makes mandatory. Servers should still deserve it. Overall love Pho Bar and the ambiance is clean and aesthetic. But the service today was upsetting

    I found out about this place from the yelp event "Flora and Fables" just recently. The pho is soooooo nice here!!! The broth has such a nice flavor and the fresh flat noodles are amazing! The place is decent looking and they have a pretty good menu. The service is very good. The staff are friendly and attentive. It is a casual restaurant that is pretty well lit. The kitchen looks extremely small but they do well with the food. The only thing that was not good was the popcorn chicken that my daughter got. I think it may have been because we got there at like 8:25 pm and they close at 9 pm so the chicken may have been sitting for a while (bottom of the barrel). It was really dry and hard around (the outer part). My daughter eats chicken almost any way. Like she eats just about every kind of chicken so I was shocked that she didn't like it. That's why we tried it too but she was right. It was very rubbery and hard to eat. It is possible that it was just due to how late we were ordering. Our server Marie was very nice about it though. She was extremely kind and helpful the whole time. I hate complaining about food especially because I know it's not done purposely. I just had to get my daughter separate food after since their kitchen was closed by the time I found out it wasn't good. The checks come as a receipt with a QR code which is SUPER COOL and efficient. It was so easy to pay. Overall, I recommend and I'd go back!

    First time at this place. Service was fast. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Therefore Stacy and not that salty. Their pork chop was tender enough, and spiced well. Place is clean and pretty well organized. Will recommend to come back this place again.

    Pho Bar is located in the Mills area. This restaurant is still considered new since it's only been around a few years. The interior is clean, modern, and has a beautiful mural to add to the vibe. I have eaten here at least a dozen times since they opened. The highlight is that the fresh handmade pho noodles are the best I've had so far. The broth is flavorful and robust. I usually order the special rib bone Pho which comes with a sizable hunk of meat that falls off the bone. I also enjoyed the Banh Beo appetizer which is a traditional and popular Vietnamese dish of small, steamed rice cakes with dried shrimp and oil infused scallions topping, accompanied by with a dipping sauce of sweet and spicy fish sauce. Their drinks are hit or miss. The service and friendliness of the staff is always consistent. That alone is a good reason to come back. What I have noticed the last few times is the quality has gone done a bit. Usually when I order my $24 bowl of rib bone pho, it feels elevated. However the last time I went there I got it in a small bowl, which is typically in a XL bowl, and everything seemed to be scaled down for the same price point. The flavor was a little off, but still flavorful. Mind you, I don't mind paying for quality pho even if it's overinflated. However, I have been to a few hole in the wall pho restaurants with less bells and whistles with the same quality. Although the past few meals there have been underwhelming, I still love the hand pulled Pho noodles here. I will give it another chance simply because it's always a treat to go to a place where I actually crave their noodles and can overlook the other discrepancies! There's a small parking lot and street parking available.

    Huge servings!!! Love their tamarind sauce and fish sauce chicken wings! And the pork chop, really tender! If you want to experience great food, friendly service and nice atmosphere, go here! Spent awesome time with friends here also, don't miss the happy hour for 50% off for ALL the drinks.

    I think it's fair to say that Pho Bar is the best pho restaurant in Orlando considering the 3 Yelp review elements: food, service, and ambiance. My bowl of flank and brisket pho was generous (a huge bowl though "regular size") and flavorful (thanks to the combination of the meats and the broth). The noodles hit the spot -- I'm glad I followed the server's recommendation and went for the house flat noodles. Our sever came to our table several times and our bowls arrived in what it felt like 5 minutes. So fast. The restaurant seemed very clean. Perfect amount of lighting for a pho restaurant and I liked the modern, Asian themed painting on the wall.

    Wow!!! Such a great spot. What the Pho, you will be amazed at the great pho and wonderful selection. The house pho special is so tasty, deep flavors, fresh veggies/herbs and plenty of fixings. The eye round & brisket pho was amazing. We also got the spring rolls- which were fresh and flavorful. This is a must try spot for Vietnamese food!

    Steamed Rice Cake (Banh Beo)
    Jonathan N.

    1st of, I was pleasantly surprised for the expectations of the foods, for having Pho Vinh as the ONLY go-to eat for Vietnamese food. The ambiance is clean, bright, modern, and comfortable. The menu was simple, once I familiarized myself to their menu. The chicken wings were very light battered, and flavored just right for tastes. The fried egg rolls, good, and recommended. However, not so on the Spring Rolls (Summer Rolls really), 2 much noodles to justified the prices, won't order future visits. Now, the Steamed Rice Cake (Banh Beo), W-O-W!!! We 2X that order up!!! Main dishes, Curry Chicken with Bread was great, recommend it!! The Pho dishes, yes, clean broth, light in flavors (And didn't get tummy aches after), just absolutely LOVE the "Homemade) noodles!!! Service, quite attentive & hospitable, thanks! Suggestion, trust your customers with the tip/gratituity, if well earned, in this case. It was a turned off when there 5 people (I usually leave the usual 25% - 30%), and I wasn't giving the option from the start. Server left himself short. 2-Star short of 5-Star, why?? The restrooms with NO paper towels at all, and not as cleaned as can be, at 12:40PM? Especially, when there were 4 people standing around conversing?! Suggestion to the management, "Inspect what your patrons expect, and, expect what you're patrons inspect." It's simple, really.

    Wings-Do not pass on these.

    Amazing brisket pho and great fish and honey garlic wings. I got the handmade noodles which were great if you eat your whole bowl there, but not great if you have heated leftovers. The house noodles broke down and I even separated they'll from the broth. It made it hard to eat the next day so I would have gotten the regular noodles, like the remaining party. We were introduced to them at a Yelp Elite event and fell in love. The large pho can feed 2 people.

    SHORT RIB PHO
    Anthony P.

    I've been here about 10 times now and can't believe I never left a review. This has easily been my favorite pho spot in the area for the past year. There's a small parking lot in the back, but it's usually not hard to find a spot. The interior is modern, clean, and really nice, with a decent amount of seating. They do only have one bathroom though, so it can get a bit of a line during busy times. Now for the pho. The broth is seasoned perfectly and has that rich, hearty depth you want. You can tell they use just the right amount of bones and meat to give it real body. It's seasoned to my liking. Not too sweet and lets the stock speak for itself. I almost always order the combination pho, and my wife usually gets the short rib. You truly can't go wrong with either, and the meat portions are always generous. Recently I decided to change things up and tried bún bò Huế for the first time, and it was awesome. Spicy, savory, slightly lemony and tangy from the lemongrass, and super rich. If you're feeling adventurous and want something different from standard pho, this is a great option. The rice noodles have a different texture, and it comes with pork trotters and congealed pig blood. If you love tendons in your pho, you'll probably love the trotters -- and honestly, the blood reminded me a lot of bone marrow. We used to order their Thai tea a lot when they first opened, but the last few visits it's been pretty watery. We even tried ordering it with the milk on the side and could definitely tell the brew had changed. We let the staff know a few weeks prior and it seems to have gotten a bit better but not as good as when they first opened. It's been kinda watery the last three times we've gone, so we'll probably just walk to mills market down the street for Thai tea but this review is 100% about the food, not the drinks. Overall, this place is a gem and still my go-to pho spot. Highly recommend.

    Solid pho. This and Pho Huong Lan are my go-to pho spots. However, Pho Bar offers a more elevated ambiance - nicer seating, newer restaurant, more attentive service, a bar, etc. Of course, the price point is also higher here, too. They also have great honey garlic wings and mussels served on a sizzling plate. 4 stars only because I don't like the kind of noodles they use. The noodles are handmade, but they have an innate soggy feel that I just don't like with pho. Just preference.

    Allen L.

    I'm generally suspicious of modernized pho houses, but the food hits the spot for any pho cravings. Pho Vinh has been a reliable go-to, so it's great to find another pho spot that delivers great Vietnamese cuisine. You have a variety of noodle types to choose from. Their default seems to be the flatter, wide noodles (northern Vietnamese noodles). I tend to get the house combination and I just love the pho that they served here. My only critique is they price it on the higher side. Other than that, don't skip a visit to Pho Bar!

    Noir Bar is definitely one of my top BARS to visit on my short list of bars I enjoy immensely. I've…read morebeen coming since it opened, and I really cannot say I've been disappointed. The ambiance and feel of the bar is very "sultry" and "intimate." The mood lighting, dark paneling/interiors paired with the bar itself being lit to be the center of attention, lends itself to the secretiveness and LURE that a modernized speakeasy would provide. I truly enjoy stepping foot into this little hidden, but NOT so hidden, gem (which can be accessed from the interior to Talay). Service can be slow at times - especially when they are busy. However, the staff is usually always gracious, helpful, and willing to serve. The few great mixologists I've met there have also been very willing to break down how they make their drinks and really give us a glimpse into their world. So, I'm appreciative of that. That is not something that you can always expect at bars. As for the drinks (and food I'll glaze over), I am usually not left disappointed. I appreciate that seasonally they play with their drink menu and introduce new cocktails. I also love a handful of their signature drinks on the menu. This may be the only bar I've had a drink with Aperol in it that I actually ENJOYED (and not tolerated). The pricing can get high depending on what you order, but for the area and the going rate of a night out, they hold their own. Definitely don't pop into Noir if you are looking for an AFFORDABLE cocktail experience because the tab will creep up on you. The food is OKAY. They share a kitchen with Talay and offer some items not on the Talay menu - which is nice. However, I rarely eat when I visit, so the few times I have, it's been okay. Nothing to truly brag home about. I am happy, though, that they did start offering food because in the very beginning (when they first opened), that was not an option. Anyways, Noir Bar is GREAT (to me)! I will keep coming here and recommending it to others. It's also great for a date night or night out with your friends. It's in a decent location - but please take heed of parking in this area, as it can be challenging to find FREE street parking. However, there is parking available all around and in various garages nearby.

    After months of anticipation... I finally made it to Alfie's…read more It was exactly what I was hoping it would be: a slice of culture. Real people. Real life. Real youth. Real energy. Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list. Go after 9 or 10 PM and plan to stay for at least two hours. That's when you really see the scene develop and come alive. Bring your ID: they card at the door. Even at my age, I still get carded. No complaining about that ! lol

    We entered around 8 pm on a Wednesday. We considered getting a drink since it was cold inside and…read morethe music was good. However, we initially entered to get a picture in the photobooth for our friends birthday. There was no one at the door checking IDs. After we all piled into the photobooth, someone walked up and asked for our IDs. He wanted us to exit the booth to get them. Eventually said ok because we had already paid and on a timer. But he was very impatient. Let me add that there was not a single person in the entire place. NO ONE. Let me also add that almost our entire group is almost 40. So we're obv not underage. With the way he approached us and was completely impatient, we were a little turned off and left. Which lost them money on our entire group. He followed us out the door as we left. It was a weird experience especially when there was literally no one else in there. The music was good but I doubt and of us will to back based on that experience alone.
