Stopped here while at the mall today. Ordered a banh mi and a Thai tea. The pork banh mi was so tasty, honestly one of the best I've had in Orlando. Bread was super fresh and toasted to perfection and the meat was seasoned perfectly. The ladies at the counter were friendly and food came out pretty quick. Will definitely be back when I come to the mall next. read more

Cute spot at the mall. I've stopped by a few times and have always had a pleasant meal! The staff is always friendly and quick. The flavors for the boba were really good! I was recommended the coconut by the nice lady checking me out, I'm glad I listened. It was so tasty and not too sweet. I recommend this place and am glad they are here at the mall, where most food is mediocre. read more

Wanted pho and this was the closest at the time. I was skeptical since it was in the mall but decided to give it a try anyways. My intuition was right despite reading reviews that praised the stall. It's not uncommon to hear inflation nowadays but the price of pho here was all the way up. The veggies that usually come on the side were missing and the essential condiments were no where in sight. If prices are surged due to location, I would at least expect the standard if not better to keep people coming back for more. Pho in the mall's food court is not common and yet there was no line compared to Japanese hibachi next to it which indicates to me that the taste department is lacking. I wouldn't come want to come here again even for a quick pho fix. I'd rather spend the time to go else where read more

Pholicious - Everything plus shrimp - Vietnamese Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

Something like an easy three or four. With a tween in the house, we do the malls and boba lots and this place just lends itself to our business and we're glad to give it. Polite demure hospitality. Seems they're often out of something or other but that might be the way of it in today's business world. Either way, we always seem to find something delicious. Easy to see them as a two or three because they're in the mall but they've really always been something like a three or four consistently. Happy happy happy. read more

It was a pleasant surprise to have a Pho option in the mall. I saw someone in the food court with the bowl and asked where it was located. The Pho and the sauces were absolutley tasty. I would have never thought such a great Pho spot would be tucked away in a mall food court. I ordered egg rolls, and for $7 I thought they would be full size rolls. They were small spring rolls but they were so full of both pork and shrimp. Everything tasted great and I am making it a point to go back. I did not give it 5 stars because it was very hard to place my order. I asked questions and was unable to get any of them answered. I was oh that is till placed the order, because it tasted great. I also had to ask for the sauces and also for utensils, I assumed that it would come with my order. They do have Boba options, and lots of people waited for them. I don't do Boba but my daughter wants to go back and try it! read more

This is a cute little spot in the middle of the food court I really enjoyed my Vietnamese iced coffee by it's was like 8$ which is a lot but it makes me feel better knowing I'm helping out a small business and not a giant corp like Starbucks or something lol. And it's so delicious for the coffee I really love it there were two cute Asian ladies working the store and they remind me of my mom lol awww. The phở is pretty decent too I've had it before but come on it's a mall shop don't come here expecting the best phở of your life but if you have the craving this will definitely fill that for you. Come check it out hehe. read more

Inside the food court at Alamonte Mall, this is a solid location. They serve up a variety of pho options and my personal fave is the meatball. They have the broth ready to go but they don't at anything to it until you order. They have soda foundation options and bottled juices and water. They have sauces at the pickup side if you wish to add anything. I like the eel sauce! Staff here is friendly and quick. They are always nice and I'm never hungry for long! Overall: A Great food court option served up quick! read more

I am not sure why this place has so many negative reviews. I mean...it's mall food, it can't be put on the same scale as that of a restaurant. For what it is, I'd say it was very good and definitely a good quick fix for pho cravings while doing some shopping. I haven't been to the food court at Altamonte Mall in years. Today, I spotted the Pholicious kiosk and was very pleasantly surprised. It is not everyday that you could find a Vietnamese food joint in the middle of a mall. I ordered the seafood pho (large) and a Thai tea (regular). The people that were behind the counter weren't extra perky, but they were nice and polite. One of the girls asked if I like spicy and if I would like some lime with my pho. The Thai tea was sweeter than I expected, but I didn't mind it. The pho was pretty good for it being mall food. I liked that the broth was clear and not greasy. It did not leave me feeling like I'm dying of thirst afterwards and that is always a good sign. There was a decent amount of fish balls and shrimp in my pho. The veggies tasted fresh and were plentiful. Obviously if you compare this to a real Vietnamese restaurant, it would not surpass. However, considering that they don't have a full kitchen, and literally being behind a counter in the middle of a mall, I think Pholicious was pretty delicious. I don't come to Altamonte mall often, but I will sure eat Pholicious again when I come back to this mall. read more

Was a good quick pho fix before I picked up my order from Torrid. This is inside the Altamonte Mall and because I live so close to the mall, I'll probably be back! I got a small chicken pho and I enjoyed it. The chicken itself was just ok but the broth was tasty. I was surprised they didn't offer jalapeños with the pho but I didn't bother asking because I'm not really supposed to be eating them right now anyway lol. Add some sriracha and hoisin and yumm. read more

Excellent little gem in the mall. Their homemade Vietnamese food is so good! Love their Thai tea that is not too sweet and very tasty! Definitely recommend this place!!! read more

Being generous with the rating, but pretty good Vietnamese food in a mall food court, so they deserve a good rating. Tried the spring and summer rolls, Vietnamese coffee, and a strawberry slushy. Everything was fresh and authentic tasting. Is this the highly seasoned Vietnamese food you find on Coloniel Drive in downtown Orlando, not exactly. This is great and exotic fast food from a little mall stand with just a few employees. Considering the food court choices, this is a definite winner! Have a spring roll and relax here. read more

I'll admit, the Pho I had (grilled chicken and vegetables) was actually pretty good, the summer rolls with shrimp and grilled chicken were also better than I would have expected, but the service... Every single person behind the counter looked as if they were literally being forced to be there, no smile, not really caring whether I was there or not and yet if I were to show up at the Altamonte food court again, I probably would end up eating here again, I know, I don't get it either but, there it is. read more

We spotted this place only after we had finished eating but as I wanted something dessert-y mum and I decided to split a Thai bubble tea - small size. The $5+ cost was a bit of a shock but the ice tea tasted good and the service was very courteous so probably will be back. Note: #73 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016 read more

Super rude employees. I had already bought 3...my niece came and has nutritional limits.

Won't ever buy from them again! Only giving 1 star because it won't let me give zero read more

I really love Pho. I don't know what it is, but it's the purest meal that fills me up & that for whatever reason I crave equally during the summer & winter. What prevents me from making it at home is the lengthy process of the stock. I know this is in a mall food court & it's fast food - but this should be simple if you have a good base. The stock is greasy - it leaves a film on your lips that's not pleasant. The fish balls were cold somehow in warm stock. The smell had the aromatics right - but the taste has to match. I also didn't really understand why they had to premix the pho beforehand- you could have put the Thai basil, sprouts, lime, & jalapeño to the side - that's what I love the best about pho was that I could add as needed. We also had summer rolls - first that texture wise was chewy & to the point of being difficult to bite through - filled to the brim with rice noodles as a filler (not good) and had the appearance of having a whole shrimp - because the wrap skin was clear - It had a shrimp sliced in half for appearances. So shady! I had such high hopes because there is a great Ispice is so great & I wanted so desperately to have an alternative to the stereotypical fast food Chinese - and this is so disappointing. A business like this could make a killing using good inexpensive ingredients & spending the initial invested time on making a good stock - but it fails so sadly. read more

Pholicious is an indoor kiosk restaurant located at the food court entrance of the Altamonte Springs Mall. It's important to note that I only tried Boba tea at this establishment and I cannot comment on the food. Pholicious offers Boba in tea and smoothie forms. The Boba fruit tea with popping pearls I ordered was not the consistency I am accustomed to with Boba teas; it is a thick and strong fruit flavor which may be an interesting change for some Boba fans who are looking for something different than the usual refreshment, but unfortunately I didn't care for the textures in the drink. One staff member was working on the day of my visit and she was extremely kind. There was a slight language barrier that caused the ordering process to be lengthy given the one-drink order but the tea was presented exactly as ordered. The Pholicious kiosk is open to customer view so you can see everything as it is being prepared which I enjoyed. Overall, an OK experience due to my level of enjoyment of the beverage. I will update the rating/review if I return for a food purchase. If you like Pho or Boba, try them out for yourself and see what you think! read more

What an Amazing Find! I didn't even know this place was even in the Altamonte mall. I ordered the small beef pho bowl, a bahn mi special with pork and chicken and a tarot boba tea. Soooooooo much good yummy food, I couldn't eat it all. What a treat and the prices are reasonable this will definitely become 1 of my regular haunts.... read more

Always stopping for my boba tea here when in the mall! Now they get a 4 star because their soup and food isn't bad for mall food. Their boba teas are okay just not consistent with the Boba. Average prices so I don't expect perfection. The taro milk smoothie is my absolute go to And I would say besides the inconsistency with the boba they make it is very good. Some days their boba comes out too soft. I have had their rice paper rolls and their peanut sauce is good! Overall if I could give this a half star it would be about 3.5. I give it the 4 because I do return and I wouldnt be embarrassed to share a meal with someone at this establishment. Especially considering its hard to find boba in this area. :) read more

Pholicious - Large taro boba smoothie before work! - Vietnamese Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

No one ever seem to smile nor say "hello" or "thank you." Kaitlyn was the young lady who took my order and not said a thing. Even towards the end, after I received my drink, i said "thank you," she just looked at me with a blank stare.... hmmm....awkward. Okay... Been here twice and had terrible customer service. I ordered vietnamese iced coffee boba. The coffee was decent, but the boba was SOOO dry and shriveled. They store their boba in a wide open container with no lid and no liquid to keep them moist and plump. Though this place is closer to my home, i would drive 15 mins to Chewy and order from them. read more

It filled the void my banh mi craving was giving, but barely. If you're here for banh mi, go to nha trang.

So for the first time in eons I found myself hangry in a mall. I know the appropriate action to take is to scramble for the exit and find real food. But I decided to wander into the dreaded food court. I was so surprised by pholicious! Really good eats in the mall. Give it a try! read more

While hunting for clothes I spotted the Pholicious booth, from which I left with a beef bowl and disappointment. There weren't many toppings in the greasy bowl, which made for a bland soup. The only thing I'll give them is that the portion size is quite large. I don't see myself returning to this establishment. read more

I would encourage everyone to give this a try. read more

Pholicious - This is their Pho chicken. I added the bean sprouts. - Vietnamese Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

I visited this place for the first time, it was horrible. I ordered a milk tea with Boba it was the worst tea I have ever tried. The Boba was soggy and the tea's flavor was way too strong. I told the girl at the counter that I did not like it and she refused to give a refund or switch out the tea for a new one,plus she had an attitude. I go to several different Boba tea places and they have excellent customer service. I will never come to this one again. Be careful if you go there because if you get something you dislike you're stuck with it and you will lose your money. Now I realize why there was no line and the place looked closed. I will not be surprised if they go out of business. read more

Terrible, terrible, terrible boba......I can only speak for the drink and not the "Pho" but based on this being a kiosk in the mall, I certainly wouldn't be brave enough to try food here. I was looking for a similar drink to the one I got in San Diego all the time which wasn't too sweet and the girl recommended a strawberry milk tea. I asked for extra boba too-what I got was pretty much Strawberry Quick with about 10 boba pearls. It was so sugary I couldn't gag it down. I tried to at least scoop the boba out and they were super hard and chewy, not even close to the fresh and plumpy ones I am used to. Do yourself a favor and walk right on by this when you see it and thank me later. read more

Pholicious the Vietnamese rice noodle restaurant in Altamonte mall adds a quick fast food feel to the Vietnamese noodle soup meal. Their modern booth in the middle of the food court offers guests a eye catching option. PHO LICIOUS meaning delicious Pho however did not live up to its name. I ordered a Vietnamese coffee and a beef noodle bowl. All I can say is I've tasted real Pho and this is not it. The broth offers a nice scent of Pho but missing the flavors. The both has a greasy feel but I guess it's a fast food feel so it must have grease. But aside from their Pho bowl their drinks are not bad their coffee offers a sweet tender flavor that is very nice to drink. Defiantly something to buy on a hot day. Over all I am disappointed by the pho but if you want a quick option and a taste of vietnamese drinks stop by Pholicious in the middle of Altamonte food court. read more

I don't know if the people of Altamonte Springs appreciate how unique it is to have good pho in a mall. I have had the chicken broth with different fixins several times, as well as the selling rolls, and it's always been delicious. read more

I really wanted to like this place. Even though it's a quick serve concept, the quality shouldn't be this bad.

Vietnames food is one of my favorites, and I was quite excited to try Pholicious. I was in the mood for some good ol' rice and protein, so I elected to try their grilled chicken with jasmine rice. Maybe I should have tried the Pho, since my choice left me disappointed. The chicken was OK, but I could have seen the cashier simply toss it in some sauce and pop it in the microwave. I really don't see how they could make fresh Pho (with its characteristic broth) without a full kitchen. It is a great concept, but is a far cry from the truly authentic Vietnamese restaurants that dot the Colonial and Mills area. read more

They had bad service. And the boba tasted like soap. I would not advice to go here for boba.

I've eaten here a bit , and I am glad to see that they have a new small size Vietnamese coffee. It's clean especially for the mall.

I got the honeydew with boba and I noticed there were only about 5-7 boba on the bottom. For small size it was $4.00 it should of been a little more boba. The taste was good but I was a little disappointed. read more

It's nice to have a pho option when I don't feel like trucking over to the Mills50 area. I've tried the beef and fish pho options. Broth is tasty and the portions are very good for the price. The boba teas are also very good. The people are always helpful and ready with a smile! Give them a try, you just might like it!! read more

This place is terrible. I should have known by the sign that said no refunds or exchanges because I'm sure lots of people have tried. I ordered a mango milk tea and it was so terrible myself nor my daughter could even sip it. It was $6 so I am out what I feel is a significant amount of money with no way to recoup. 1 Star was too many but that's necessary to write a review. AVOID this place it's an absolute loss. read more

This is ridiculously good. I ordered a large bowl of their special. If you aren't into the way processed meatballs look stick with shrimp but jeez, they're good. read more

I've tried their Pho a few times now and they are definitely a different option in the food court area... I mean how many times can someone have a cheese steak, bourbon chicken or pizza for lunch? And its usually the same choices at every food court, regardless of location. So Pholicious definitely provides a welcome change. And its almost on par with what you'll find in most Vietnamese restaurants in the Orlando area. Their broth is pretty good and is sometimes better than other Pho places. My only complaint is like my pho very hot and all of the Pholicious places I've tried only have a mildly warm broth. I'm not sure if its because they don't have a full blown kitchen... I mean they literally make you pho in the middle of the food court, I don't think they make it in a kitchen in the back and then carry it out you, although to some degree I wish they did. I usually their beef and beef balls combo but their fish balls option is good as well. read more

Great little spot for a quick Pho in the mall. Asked for fish sauce to go with it, they pulled out the Three Crabs brand. Good stuff. Enjoyed speaking with the workers there also. Wasn't able to try the Boba, maybe next time. Just having Pho again reminds me of being back in HCMC. Keep it up guys!! :) read more

Okay, so when I first went to this place it was okay. Now that it is under new management, I love it. It's owned by an actual Vietnamese family. They grew up making Pho in their home, and some of the ingredients they grow in their own garden! (Like the basil, lemons, and cilantro.) The broth is made fresh, right in front of you, and they constantly change out their ingredients. They know how to make Pho the traditional Vietnamese way, which I LOVE. Their Boba smoothies are good too. I've never been a fan of tapioca Boba, but they're isn't bad. I loved the strawberry mango smoothie with the strawberry popping pearls. I've been going to this place for a while, and the new owners are always friendly. If you have a problem, they will fix asap and provide you great service. They like to know when they need to improve something, and they like to make their customers happy. I always leave this place with full and happy stomach. Thanks for being in my life Pholicious! read more
