We visited pho huong lan again after their remodel, and they continue to deliver excellent food with dependable service. I got a beef pho with brisket and filet and it was fantastic. One of my friends got a spicy lemongrass soup though, and I'm not gonna lie I had a little bit of broth envy. That soup was delicious and I'm definitely going to get it the next time I'm there. I also got a kumquat sugarcane juice which was a nice balance of sweet and sour. We sat on their covered back patio with was lovely, even in the pouring rain. This place has been delivering what I think is the best pho in Orlando for years.
My Vietnamese parents recommended this restaurant for the best pho in Orlando, and they didn't disappoint! The pho broth is incredibly flavorful and the variety of meats were such great quality! I personally didn't prefer their noodles because I like the really thin ones, but it didn't stop me from devouring my bowl. I ordered the vinegar onions on the side, but I feel like it was mainly marinated in water with a splash of vinegar, so I probably wouldn't get that again, but I would absolutely recommend the pho here. The service was so nice and accommodating. The restaurant is very reminiscent of Vietnam.
This place has been my go-to since being pregnant. The Mien Ga hits the spot and I feel full and hearty afterwards. Lunch time is the best time to grab a bowl!
Definitely a place you would not find unless it was by word of mouth. This place has great Pho. The broth is good and everything was great. Got the Vietnamese coffee and also a sugarcane juice which was great. The servers are kind and the aesthetic of the place is simple.
These guys nailed what a good Pho restaurant shouldbe.the broth was what I would experience in all good Vietnamese restaurants. I highly recommend this place.
I ordered pho and egg rolls from this place on a Saturday night. The food came quickly and was well packaged to preserve freshness. The egg rolls were amazing! The pho was also very good and came with an abundance of veggies and noodles, so it last for 2 meals! Would love to try these dishes again IN the restaurant.
This was our last meal in Orlando before we drove back down to SoFlo, where we don't have good ass pho. It was my first visit and very impressed. The broth has the right amount of salt, msg, crack, whatever else in it and the noodles were made in house and it was al dente (only way I can describe it)... but gimme 14 of them! Service was good and they actually check up on you unlike a lot of Viet places, which I still don't get why. Parking is a bit tricky cuz it's one way and you gota back that car ass all the way out to the street to exit. Def recommend and can't wait to visit again!
Pho Huong Lan is one of those Vietnamese spots that's always buzzing -- and that popularity definitely says something. This place stays busy, especially during lunch and dinner hours, so expect a little wait during peak times. The dining room can get packed and lively, but that just adds to the energy. The pho is the main draw. When the broth is on point, it's rich, aromatic, and deeply comforting -- exactly what you want in a solid bowl of phở. The portions are generous, noodles are cooked well, and the fresh herbs and bean sprouts round everything out nicely. Their combination pho is a safe choice, and the vermicelli bowls and rice plates are great alternatives if you're not in a soup mood. That said, the broth can sometimes be a little inconsistent in flavor. Some visits it's bold and perfectly balanced; other times it may lean lighter and need a bit of extra lime or sauce to adjust to your taste. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's noticeable if you're a regular. Overall, Pho Huong Lan remains a dependable, comforting, and very popular Vietnamese staple. Come hungry, expect a crowd, and enjoy a satisfying bowl of pho.
One of my favorite pho restaurants! This is a very small family owned spot with exceptional pho. Although the restaurant is small, in need of a little TLC, and cluttered (pay no attention to the cases of bottled water and boxes of supplies on the sides), the food and service are top notch! Service is always fantastic and prompt. They have always been busy during my visits, so sharing a table has been the norm -- they do ask if it's okay with you; and ask the other people at the table if they don't mind. Chopsticks, spoons, sauces and soup accompaniments (pickled garlic and jalapeños) are on the table -- highly recommend the pickled garlic. Bottled water is complimentary, as well. Their Phö Tái Bò Vién (menu item P3) is my favorite. I love the convenience of ordering their dishes by size, depending how hungry I am. I always recommend this spot whenever I'm asked for pho recommendations.
Always love the bun bo hue here! So goood, definitely come here for authentic viet food. Lots of veggies on the side and food is amazing! The portion is huge and price is reasonable. Parking can be tough though as I visited the location in E colonial.
Ordered delivery and was pretty pleased from what I ordered. The summer rolls was 2 big sizes with the peanut sauce. Perfect amount of each ingredients inside. I added the pho tai gau gam that had filet mignon steak, fatty beef brisket and tendon. A good amount of each meat. The broth was rich in flavor. Definitely one of my new places to order pho from.
I visited Pho Huong Lan with my family and the pho here is absolutely incredible! The restaurant is quite small but my party of 4 only had to wait around 10 minutes before being seated since it was a busier night. The outside seating area is also a cute option if you visit while the weather is nice. I highly recommend the Pho Dac Biet (special combination). The broth is so flavorful and aromatic with super tender meat. I also got a lemonade soda which had fresh lemon and was really tart just how I like it.
Pho Huong Lan is hands down one of the better Vietnamese restaurants in the Orlando area. Every bowl that came to our table had generous portions, and rich, flavorful broth We ordered the Pho tai ,, chicken pho, and bun bo Hue, and honestly, every single one was a standout. I found myself going back and forth between my daughter's leftover chicken pho and my bun bo Hue because I couldn't decide which I liked more! The chicken pho had generous pieces of chicken with a clean aromatic broth, while the bun bo Hue had a rich, savory broth with just the right amount of spice. One thing that really stood out was the beef. It seems like they tenderize it before serving because every bite was soft and fresh. There's also a good variety of bowl sizes.8 ranging from baby to king bowl. The medium wall was huge for me. I couldn't finish it. Service was very fast and friendly, and everyone receives a complimentary bottle of water, which was a nice touch. The only downside is that the indoor dining room is very small with tables close together. It felt a bit cramped for me, so we chose to sit outside, which was much more comfortable. I also noticed on the menu that they have a second location just down the street, so we'll probably try the larger location next time. Just a heads-up if you're expecting a full Vietnamese menu the focus here is definitely the soups. I didn't notice many appetizers, rice dishes, or other specialties, but when the pho and bun bo Hue are this good, it's easy to see why people come here. This will definitely be one of our regular stops whenever we're in Orlando! read more

Food 4/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 4/5 The pho here is probably one of the best in the area. The broth was aromatic and flavorful and tasted authentic. I loved that it came with bean sprouts and limes and assortment of sauces/toppings on the side. Took one star off because of the thick noodles. I've been eating pho my entire life and always had it witth thin noodles until I moved to FL. Service was decent, but also as expected from an Asian restaurant. All they do is take your order and drop off your food, there was no follow up. The ambiance is fine, it's a relatively small establishment. The tables are cramped but it was modern and clean. read more

After reopening of the renovation restaurant, I went there for their short rib pho. I was kind of disappointed. The soup base is always good but the short rib was very disappointing. The rib meat was small and tough to chew. Hope they improve on the short rib. read more
Pho with beef tongue. Best pho place in orlando! Extremely good broth and the place is always busy and service is extremely quick. Good place for food but they turn tables quick so you need to find somewhere else nearby to hangout afterwards if you plan to spend time with friends or family. read more

I still love the pho here and everything from my previous review stands! But I recently had the combination pho and my only complaint is that it only comes with one meatball. :( But we tried one of the desserts this time, the che thai, and it was so good! It's basically a cold cup of fruit and toppings inside a pretty sweet milk. And it's so refreshing. I also love that they have a lot of different sauces and such at the table, besides the standard hoisin and sriracha. I am a big big fan of the sliced pickled garlic. Parking always seems full, but I haven't had any trouble finding parking yet. But it's kind of annoying if you have to go to the bathroom to ask for the key and to walk to the bathroom. There are several stalls inside, but only one key to my knowledge. And the server's are usually pretty friendly, depending on who you talk to. Some of them don't seem to acknowledge if they heard your request when they walk off, (even though they did)so it's a little confusing. But we still left satisfied. read more

When I first came in, this place so busy, and they are fast. I got a table right away. This place is small and they have an outdoor seating. This place only service Vietnamese noodles soup. My husband order PHO ĐẶC BIỆT special pho and had XL noodles bowl, I had a BÚN BÒ HUẾ for a L. This place gave a lots of meats and noodles. The bowl was huge. We also order GỎI GÀ. It was good too! I also like my sugarcane drink too! The price here is very reasonable. The waster was so attractive, when he saw my napkin on the floor, he told me and hurry grab me another one, I did not ask or say anything. That's what you call good service. The condiments were all there and good. The next time I come and visit, I will definitely come back for some noodles soup. read more
My go to for pho in Orlando!! I always like to recommend this place to anyone coming to Orlando and it never disappoints! I also like how fast they are with taking orders and bringing out the food; the herbs and beansprouts are always fresh! read more
Decided to check this place out for Sunday brunch. I went to their newly opened location on West colonial drive. They gave each of us 500cc bottle of water, which I preferred over tap water. We both got medium pho that has filet mignon, brisket, and tendon inside. The price point is bit high for a pho ($~15 for medium) but the ingredients are soooo fresh including the beef. The broth is also really tasty. The noodles are not the traditional pho noodles that you would see in other pho restaurants though. Personally, I prefer the traditional noodles, so this was the only downside. Still, I loved everything else about the restaurant and would definitely come back! read more

Was at Orlando and we saw the high reviews at Pho Huong Lan. We decided to try it out and it was so packed. The servers told us to sit outside in the back area. We sat at the benches and table that is lower to the ground in summer 95+ degree heat. Luckily they have those home fans on but no portable A/C. We were sweating like we all just ran a marathon. I got a Large Pho Bo Vien (meatball pho) ($16). Holy cow the broth was so bad. It was pretty salty, the meatballs were packed in salt or something and the Banh pho (rice noodles) were breaking apart. Also, they don't have Huy Fong Sriracha and have those off-brand sriracha that has no flavor and just basically food coloring. Everyone in our party expressed the same disappointment LOL. Once we paid for our table, the lady came out and told us they made a mistake on our bill and that I only paid a portion of it. She never even showed us the bill and demanded an extra $30 something dollars. I just handed her $40 cash and call it a day. Overall: I've ate Pho basically ever since I was in kindergarten. This place might be the worst or one of the worse Pho restaurants I've ever eaten. I'm very surprised by the high reviews. The service itself it can slide but the food itself is just abysmal. read more

If you like pho, go here. Best pho in the state. Only down side is no spring rolls, I don't care but some people need a roll. I prefer tendon and they make the best. I tried the ox penis and I thought it was excellent, don't be scared. There is always a line, but worth the wait. Outdoor seating is super nice. read more
I've been dreaming about this restaurant since I came here a year ago and finally had the opportunity to stop by and get the Bun Bo Hue. It was amazing, everything I've ever wanted. The broth is extremely flavorful and the meat was so tender and delicious. The pho was great last time but this bun bo hue was life changing. Adding in some of the garlic chili sauce (careful it's pretty dang spicy!) also kicked it up a notch and was delicious. We were seated and got our food extremely quick. I will say the restaurant gets pretty packed quickly so I recommend coming earlier in the day for lunch, and also since the bun bo hue sells out on busy days! Can't wait for my next trip to Orlando so I can eat this again! read more
Decent price for the pho. I normally get the combination. I'd come here again, but I wouldn't pay extra for oxtail (not as flavorful as I thought). The service is up to speed, and though the place can be packed, I felt right at home with the ambiance of the restaurant. read more

Fast and very friendly service! I ordered the Bun Bo Hue with the beef rib and it was spectacular! Noodles were al dente! Broth was phenomenal and perfect! Loads of meats! Very authentic Vietnamese restaurant! I highly recommend! read more
Service was quick but the pho was just OK. Place is really small and a bit hidden. They serve pho with a thick wide noodle which feels more like a udon noodle rather than pho. The noodles weren't bad it was just different from your standard pho noodle (thin). The broth did lack some flavor. It lacked the flavor and aroma of authentic pho spices (like anise). There are plenty of meats to choose from and different meat combos since they only serve pho which is great. There are no apps like fried egg rolls or summer rolls. My quest for an authentic pho place in central FL continues. read more

This is a cool little spot. I've been here several times and have only gotten the P1, because I tend to do that if I really like something lol. They give you a lot of greens and sprouts and the meat is tender and falls apart. Probably my favorite Pho in Orlando. The sugarcane juice is also bomb. It's always busy and service is quick. They have indoor and outdoor seating and it's tucked in a little plaza off of mills and 50, it's best to park in the Avalon parking and walk in through the back door. read more
Visited this spot tucked away on Mills 50 because I have been hearing about it for a while. It was packed which was a good sign. The menu was big and I got the #21. We got lots of fresh sprouts and the usual Thai basil and things that go along with pho. My pho was good but I have had better broth. It was lighter than I am used to. It was packed with meat and I had a huge rib in it but the meat was a bit tough. My mom got the bun bo hue which was much more tasty to me. Our service was a bit lacking too. The waitress was probably over worked and pulled in many directions and it showed. Solid pricing and decent soup but not my fave. read more
Very neat little spot inconspicuously nestled in a a cul-de-sac-esque shopping area marked by a bright yellow sign with red lettering in the back parking lot facing side. I can see why this place was bustling with patrons on a Monday afternoon after trying their great pho and bun bo hue. The pho noodles are made fresh, the beef is super tender, and the broth is very nicely infused with the abundance of herbs added without overpowering the beef essence. A great go to spot whenever I visit Orlando. read more
I'm not usually a big pho fan but my sister definitely is so we decided to try Pho Huong Lan the other day. Pretty straightforward menu, cozy seating, quick service, and really good food - what else do you need? We both had beef pho which was fabulous, especially with the array of sauces/condiments provided. The sate is a must! The passionfruit juice was also delicious. We'll definitely be back - my sister has to take on the King bowl challenge! read more
KUDOS to the staff for providing supreme quality customer service! I ordered P13 and it was delicious! The pho Noodle with brisket,tendons and veggies! Thank God for them! The ambiance was quiet and the music was lively! I highly recommend all to come and visit to support this local business! read more

Came and tried this place for the first time a few hours ago and I'm already missing this broth with the noodles :( Our party of three came on Saturday around 1:30 and waited just a few minutes before getting seated outside (honestly not bad because there were some big parties ahead of us who looked like they'd waited a while). We ordered a large bun Bo hue and large pho short rib to share. Both broths had amazing depth of flavor and I loved the noodles in the bun bo hue. Just a bit disappointing there was only one piece of pork blood. Besides that, no complaints- it was a pretty much a perfect bowl with bouncy noodles, flavorful broth and assorted herbs/veggies and meats. Service was great and very quick. Weather was nice so it was a good day to be sitting outside. Just the first of many visits! read more

Found this place by accident. We're traveling from the Netherlands and my husband went to Avalon for a tarot reading. My kids, a friend and I discovered this restaurant en decided to try it. Quick service, nice meals! I took P1, my daughter P4, my son had C1 and our friend S1. Very nice experience and friendly, helpful staff. read more
Surprised to see this place had such high reviews. Went here due to the high rating. Honestly one of the worst pho places I've been to based on flavor. The broth had a weird taste/smell to me. The meat was barely edible for me and the person who did eat the meat had strong stomach pain for days after. The service was quick but I wouldn't go here again. Update: after the review I got some fun messages. It's not my fault the food bloated our stomachs and had us nauseous for days. I love pho but not this place's. read more

Incredibly authentic Vietnamese food in Orlando. The server was quick and she was very polite. We called ahead to reserve a table for dinner and they were very accommodating. We arrived and they brought bottled water and answered our questions about the menu. They were out of Chicken Pho for the night which was a bummer so we all tried beef. The spicy chili and jalapeños on the table are incredible! So spicy and full of flavor. The medium soup is more than enough for one person. We ordered one medium and one large of the P1 and should have ordered two mediums. The Beef short rib falls right off the bone. The interior is a bit dated and everything feels sort of old and a little grungy. Nothing looks cohesive and it gets very loud. I wouldn't recommend it for a date night since a lot of families with young children come and they play in the dining room. Overall great food and I'm determined to come back and try the chicken pho. read more
