I've been dining here for the past few years, and the quality has remained consistently superb every time. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The staff is just as impressive. They are polite, welcoming, and very attentive. On one visit, a team member noticed my family trying to take a photo and kindly offered to take it for us. It was such a thoughtful gesture and truly speaks to the level of hospitality here. If you are craving authentic Vietnamese food in a clean, family friendly environment, I highly recommend stopping by and giving them a try. You will not be disappointed.

The kitchen was very slow even though we were the only diners. The pig's ear cold appetizer was very tasty. Crisp cartilage with lots of spicy savory flavor. The rou jia muo bao bun with braised meat stuffing was decent but nothing to write him about. It's a Xian staple and this place made it not quite there. The beef noodle soup had good broth but it wasn't as flavorful as we wanted. The knife cut noodles were fresh and made well. There was plenty of beef radish slices. If they worked out some of the 'new restaurant' kinks, they have good potential.

Went with my wife who is not a sushi fan since they have hibachi on the menu she could enjoy. While…read morethe sushi was a mix of some good and some just okay roles, the hibachi was a total turn off. She was so unimpressed by it I felt compelled to try it once I was done with my sushi. To my horror it was the worst hibachi I've ever had; there are several takeout/express type places I would rank above this in terms of quality. The steak had no sear at all on it, everything on the plate including the veggies was bland and lacking flavor, but the biggest disappointment? The rice. It had some sort of weird flavor to it and was extremely dry. While I would go back for the sushi, I cannot recommend this place for anyone that isn't a sushi fan.

It comes with noodles, upgraded fried rice and a medley of vegetables. I love that they include a miso soup. It's super easy to order with them on the phone and when I got there, everything was available and ready to go. Today the food was OK. My meal might've been soured because of a tiny hiccup I had. Years ago, I got a gift card from them, which I use only once since. Today I was told I had a zero balance on it and that the gift card never had any money on it based on their records. That's obviously impossible because why would I have a gift card that never had anything on it? I would say get gift cards with caution. Otherwise check them out for sure. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Ocoee because they have anime decoration and fun clean spaces. Dig in!

A hidden gem with very authentic Chinese food. No bells and whistles mom and pop shop. Service was…read moreefficient and food came out quickly. Prices were good for the portion sizes. Lots of Sichuan cuisine options as well as some soup dumplings and unique cold appetizer dishes. We started with spicy chicken gizzards. Sliced thin and has a nice chewy texture, this app is refreshing and tasted great. Not super spicy which was perfect for me. Then we ordered the tea smoked duck. Nice big portion of duck with plenty of meat, fat and bone ratio. The smokey flavor is brought out in the meat and it was savory but not overly salty. The braised beef tendon casserole came out piping hot. Tendon was tender and easy to eat. Lots of rice vermicelli in it. Plenty of parking in the lot outside and conveniently located in the Chinatown Plaza.

The key test of the authenticity is how well they can do Dan Dan Noodles and they did very well with this classic dish-subtle flavors, the right amount of Sichuan pepper as well. Good dumplings and cold noodles, too. The space is small, no-frills, and I would guess much of their business is done in take-away as well. However, there is enough room to dine there in comfort and the staff is prompt plus also seems truly interested in their customers enjoying their food. I highly recommend it for casual Chinese right in the heart of Orlando's little Chinatown plaza.

I got the Omrice and strawberry tea. Mom got the vegan ramen. The tea was refreshing and not too sweet! The ramen was delicious! The broth was excellent and flavorful! The tofu in the ramen bowl was lovely too! The Omrice was pretty good! The egg and rice were delicious. The chicken didn't taste right to me, but everything else was perfect!

When I saw Oodle Ramen offered omurice on their menu, I was so curious to see how this dish would…read moretaste and just knew I had to pay a visit. The presentation is well done (the server slices open the egg, it unfolds on the bed of rice underneath and pours the gravy on top with a flourish of seasoning). The dish itself is very tasty and comforting, but I do wish there were more chicken inside the fried rice! Also I would recommend this dish for family-style sharing rather than someone getting this as their main meal. The Oodle ribs were absolutely delicious, the meat just slid right off the bone and the seasoning is so flavorful! Definitely recommend as a must-try. The ube panna cotta was thoroughly enjoyed by my friend, it's not overly sweet which is a great thing to note, as panna cotta may be known for sugar overload. The suishingen dish is probably one of the most unique dishes I've ordered at a restaurant, it's very gelatinous. Mixing a spoonful of it with the powdered sugar and brown sugar syrup really reminds me of eating straight boba. Very friendly customer service. Inside has lots of seating and is clean. Overall had a wonderful experience here!

The tom yum ramen was okay, dont think ill be ordering it again. The broth did not taste like tom yum soup and definitely needed other asian sauces added to it to make it more flavorful (like sriracha and hoisin which i dont think they have). There also werent many vegetables in the soup so it was mostly broth and noodles. Overall, great place for some poke! Just wouldnt get the tom yum ramen again.

Being Clermont residents, there has not been a consistently good Poke place in the area, and even though this is technically 'far' from us, we will ALWAYS stop by Poke Burri if we are coming back from Orlando or in the area. Every time we have gone, the food as been on point presentation wise and everything has been correct, I usually get the All Star bowl and my Wife makes her own. We usually order through door dash or online and pick up, but when we do go in person, the folks working are friendly. You do order from a screen and there isn't a ton of interaction but that's the 21st century. They also have a ramen side but we have not tried that yet. The restaurant itself gives a very new age restaurant vibe (Grass wall with neon lights) so take it for what its worth!

Everything was super good, especially the dumplings and the stew. The broth is very flavorful and the short rib was nice & tender which is always my biggest concern regarding meats in soups. The noodles really are the star of the show and there's something just so perfectly light and chewy about them. It truly is an artform! I'm glad this place lives up to hype and we'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

I've been hearing about Walala for some time now, so I was so excited to finally try it!…read more The workers are pretty friendly, and we came on a Sunday evening and were able to be seated right away. We wanted to try the wontons in chili oil but they were sadly out so we ended up getting the big beef skewers. The flavoring on them was sooo good. But we did have a lot of super chewy and fatty pieces that we weren't really a fan of. The noodles came out so quickly and they were streaming hot, which we loved. The clear broth is super clean and light with a very herbal fragrance to it. Like I feel like that would be perfect to drink if you were sick. But not being sick, I did end up adding some soy sauce just to give it some more flavor. But I like that with the sauces at the table, you can kinda just customize to your liking. I think the knife cut noodles are probably my favorite type of noodles here, but the hor fun goes really well with the clear broth. I also tried the green grape fruit tea and it was so refreshing! The flavor wasn't artificial at all and it was so nice to have with the hot noodles. I think this spot is super worth if you're the type to order extra noodles, or if you're a big eater. But the portions were pretty satisfying enough on the first go for us (def not a bad thing), so we didn't get to do any refills.

It wasn't spicy at all, and the broth was a bit too sweet for my taste--not exactly what I was hoping for. On the bright side, the sugarcane was a win, and at around $5 per order, it's a solid deal. Customer service? Very much "Vietnam vibes." Nothing over the top, but they're clearly trying to keep things moving and efficient. Overall, I'd come back for the pho and the fresh ingredients, just skip the Bun Bo Hue.

It's a bit further out than the other one and is a drive to come here but was worth it for us. The plaza its in is a bit unsuspecting and it's tucked away in the corner. The inside of this restaurant is big and spacious and was very clean. The service was super fast and we were able to look at the menu and order right away. I love how all the pho comes in any size bowl option you can think of. From a baby bowl to a king-sized one! I got a medium and it was pretty pricey but normal for what prices are for pho these days. It was really good and I was feeling under the weather so it really hit the spot! A great spot for pho if you're in the area!
