    Pho tai
    Micaela R.

    This place is great if you're craving some soup or something healthy to eat late at night (it's open til 2am on Saturdays)! I ended up getting the pho tai (sliced beef), which was a big enough portion that I even had leftovers to take home with me. The soup was comforting and decently tasty. One of my favorite aspects of pho is that you can customize it to your own liking, and they had all the side veggies and sauces to help with that process (bean sprouts, basil, lime, jalapenos, hoisin, Sriracha, chili oil). You order as soon as you get inside (everything else besides the food being brought out to you is self-service) and the decor is more of a trend, with 2D art lining the whole interior, and a little booth in the back if you wanted pictures with you and your friends.

    Pad Thai

    Twenty Pho Hour is on International Drive and is a very artsy fun restaurant with delicious food. I was able to order Pad Thai several times and it was consistently delicious. They have happy hour from 3-5 pm Monday to Friday and offer half price selected drinks and appetizers. The staff is hospitable and the food is prepared fresh and you can tell from the amazing flavors. I love shrimp in my Pad Thai, but if you have allergies to shell fish or treenuts and peanuts, this is not the dish for you. The offer a variety of other dishes, but I always seem to order the Pad Thai! In Thailand the side additions, such as peanuts, bean sprouts and lime is what makes the dish. You can add spice if you want, or keep it mild. Enjoy the photos!

    Tried Twenty Pho Hour and left feeling it was more about the aesthetic than the food. I had both the chicken and steak phos -- the broth was flavorful and comforting, but the meats themselves lacked much taste, making the overall dishes feel pretty average. The Vietnamese iced coffee was strong (in a good way if you like your caffeine bold), and the space definitely stands out with its 2D black-and-white cartoon decor. That said, the look is a bit more impressive in photos than in person -- fun to see once, but not quite as captivating up close. Make sure to stop by the bathroom, though -- the decor there is a surprise worth checking out. Overall, a cool concept and a decent meal, but mostly fueled by the Instagram hype.

    Twenty Pho Hour on International Drive feels like stepping into a well-lit black-and-white cartoon. The walls are covered with playful mottos playing on the word pho (Have a pho-nomenal day), giving the place a slightly irreverent vibe. Service was friendly, swift and efficient, the kind that gets a steaming bowl in front of you before you examined all the condiments on the table. The broth itself was rich and deeply flavored, leaning a bit on the sweet side at first slurp. But once I added their excellent chili oil to balance it...wow. The broth bloomed! Savory, spicy, and absolutely delicious. Constructive observations: the plastic spoon in a bowl of very hot broth gives me pause, and the side plate of greens: Thai basil, lime, bean sprouts, and jalapeños, was not generous. Also glaringly absent: culantro, which I expect to see with pho. The dining room was full of college students and young families, which added to the chill atmosphere. I ended up lingering well after finishing my bowl, people-watching and soaking up the vibe. Pho-nomenal? Pretty close. And definitely a cool stop on International Drive when visiting Orlando.

    Wow.... I've never been to such bad pho place before in my life other than one in West Virginia.... They serve everything in plastic and paper plates even veggies... There were barely any meat in the pho and rather eat instant pho.... Never again... The servers look like they are not excited to be there either... Only good thing about this place is decor is descent lol

    Came back here on a recent vacation and made it a point to Lyft from Universal to here after a long park day. Took some friends for their first time and it did not disappoint the second go around. My crispy pork bowl was the most delicious thing and the loaded kimchi fries are also a must order. Love the servers and the design on the inside. Such a cool place and a perfect post amusement park meal.

    I enjoyed the aesthetics, very fun to look around!! Next time I'd like to eat in and order pho or ramen because it's a large bowl & they even offer zucchini shaped like noodles, plus different broths, including a red curry one for a slight up charge. I ordered takeout of 2 appetizers, which wasn't as satisfying considering it was over $12 for 4 skinny bland summer rolls. For a few dollars more it would've been more satisfying & a better value. I don't like eating take out pho/ramen because it's often deconstructed & build your own at home, not as pretty as being presented a big bowl with tastes to discover as you dig in. The vegetable summer roll had quality purple & green lettuce, thin bit of tofu & some noodles. Neither component had flavor, tasteless. The sweet chili sauce was good. A sprig of basil, mint or cilantro, ANYTHING, lime, would've been helpful. The shrimp & meat summer rolls had a hint of flavor, almost none. Again, a few leaves of mint or cilantro were sorely lacking. Luckily, the thick peanut sauce had flavor & some finely chopped peanuts on top. It was just a peanut soy sauce paste. Lime could've helped also. The shrimp appeared like 3, but there were actually 1 and a half per roll because they were cut in half. Slivers were to look good, cute through the translucent rice paper, not to actually contribute to the taste. Low flavor profiles, not much. Flavor was 2~D, didn't jump out at me, watery. I'd like to return one day & order a big cartoonish bowl of pho, ramen, or zucchini, probably with the red curry broth. I saw lots of bowls that looked great. Remember: you must specifically request basil, jalapeños, sprouts, or lime when ordering if interested in more flavor.

    This spot popped up near our hotel and after long days at the parks, we were craving some viet food. They have different types of Pho. Mainly noodle dishes and appetizers not rice dishes like a traditional viet shop. We ordered - Pho dac biet with roundeye beef on the side with lime - Pho Ga (chicken) - red elephant chicken and udon noods! - Fried Laos Eggrolls Drinks: VIet iced coffee Thai ice tea mango milk tea The ladies working were out there wiping down and cleaning as best they can. The space is primarily white with black comic book style theme. Cute throne chair and phone booth setup in the back for photo ops! The service was quick and good came out timely. Appreciate that. The pho for us didn't hit, the broth felt like it needed more depth to the flavor sort of like longer simmer in the pot, it was a bit too light and didn't have that signature pho punch on first sips. The red elephant had a full body flavor with a hint of spice. That was a nice broth, the noods had a good chew as it was udon, but it didn't take up any of the broth. Perhaps a different option for noodles would be a welcome choice. Highlight was the eggrolls for me. Ours came out crispy and hot. Paired well with the dipping sauce. Overall it did its job on this trip. Nice staff and appreciate the quick service.

    We had a good experience with this location for the first time. My wife had the Pad Thai rice noodles, and I tried a few appetizers. I had the Philly eggroll, the Lao pork eggrolls, the crab Rangoon, and the shrimp tempura. All of my items were amazing as well as the sauces that they were paired with. I also had the Thai tea which was a tasty treat that I will try again.. The server was welcoming and caring. The items were brought out immediately upon their preparation. My wife's Pad Thai Rice Noodles were good; but, not great and that's OK. Next time she's going to do a Build-Your-Own bowl so that she can personalize it to her specific preferences. Great overall experience.

    It has been cold lately in Central Florida, so we were craving a good bowl of pho. We chose Twenty Pho Hour because the name caught our attention and it kept popping up on my social media feed. When we walked in, the place looked cool. The decor felt like stepping into a comic book. We were so focused on the visuals that we did not realize you had to order before being seated. With another party behind us, we felt rushed and flustered while ordering. We ordered the Pho Dac Biet combo, ramen butter noodles, a kids build your own bowl, and the fried sampler platter. After ordering, we were seated and given a number. While waiting, we took photos by the phone booth. The food came out very fast, which was impressive at first. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. The pho broth tasted like an instant base rather than something simmered all day. It lacked the depth and aromatics you normally expect from pho. The meat was also disappointing. The meatball had an odd flavor, and the eye round steak was thicker, smaller, and fully cooked instead of thin and lightly raw. The kids build a bowl was bland. The ramen butter noodles stayed true to the name but were far too oily. My kid barely touched it. The biggest letdown was the fried sampler. The spring rolls were not warm, which suggested they had been sitting out. They were soggy and overly oily instead of crisp. The fried dumplings were also soggy and did not taste freshly fried. This likely explains why the food came out so quickly. In the end, we did not enjoy the food and did not even finish half of what we ordered. The atmosphere and concept are fun, but the food quality needs serious improvement for us to return.

    It was actually good. Very good.

    I didn't want to like this place, but it's actually fire. We were having a rough day in our last day in Orlando, and my girlfriend suggested we eat here. As a San Jose resident, where pho doesn't get any better unless you're actually in Vietnam, the selection puzzled me. But she wasn't feeling good, so I was just willing to do whatever she wanted at this point. I did no prior research. I just assumed it was going to be bad, so as soon as we hoped out of our Lyft and entered the establishment -- OMG. There is absolutely nothing about the interior that screamed Vietnamese. It's very artsy. I felt like I was in a new coloring book. Just about everything about this place was "for IG", so while I'm cool with those vibes, I know that isn't authentic. I was also weirded about by the fact that you have to order and pay upfront before sitting down. I ordered the oxtail pho. It was a bit pricey, but considering the fact that it's oxtail and I doubt I'd find any other pho places nearby, I was fine with it. Then the pho came. The broth? Tasty, clean, and beefy. The meat? Quality. The noodles? Fresh -- not my favorite way to order pho noodles, but they were fine. I don't remember if thin pho noodles were an option. As much as I wanted to hate this place, this is actually one of the better bowls of pho I ever had. It's not the most traditional setting, but this place despite the theatrics is Asian-approved.

    Came by for dinner the other night and it was a lacklustre experience. Twenty Pho Hour is located inside a strip mall. Upon arrival, there were a few people chatting with the host, one was there for a DoorDash/UberEats pickup while another was ordering to go. I was confused why there were stanchions to chat with the host. Turns out ordering and cashless payment is done with the host before seating. Beverages are self serve?!? ...and they had the audacity to ask for a tip. The Pho dac biet was a disaster. The noodles were ok, slightly clumped together. I think I had one beef meatball that was cut into pieces. The rare steak was well done and the beef brisket was super lean. The highlight were the beef tendons. The ambiance of the quick service restaurant was quirkly calling themselves a Pho dealer?!? ~$20/head for a bowl of Pho.

    This is a cute cozy place tucked away in a moderate size shopping mall. After landing in Orlando, this looked like a nice place to have a nice hot bowl of food! Food (3/5): We ordered a plate of egg rolls, Pad Thai, pork belly roll, seafood soup, pho, and spring rolls. Everything was hot and fresh to order. The flavors however, were just okay. The portion sizes were generous! Price point was average compared to other similar restaurants. Service (5/5): Amazing! All the staff were friendly and helpful. They explained their menu well and kept our eating area clean and free of empty dishes. Ambience (5/5): This place definitely has really cool looking interior. Every item on their wall has a unique play off of names and you feel like you just walked into a coloring book!

I've tried the Spicy Miso Tan-Tan Udon, which was quite tasty, although a little on the richer/heavier side. I have also tried the Mentaiko Tsukimi Udon which was refreshing in the cold broth.

The Viet Coffee with sesame foam and crushed sesame seeds was hard to drink. I loved the initial flavors but the foam got a little greasy and clumpy when mixed with the crushed sesame seeds, particularly toward the second half of the coffee. I wouldn't order it again. I would be interested to see any updates they've made recently but with so many new restaurants on Mills, I may choose those first.

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.

    Cute little restaurant for my fellow Lao people :). Packed at 1pm on a Saturday! 6/10 overall…read more I was not expecting there to be a pretty much Asia-Town in Orlando. Small restaurant, limited seating - maybe 50? I overheard someone coming into Bin Bong Cafe and ask where the "Lao" restaurant was. I was thinking "a Lao restaurant, am I hearing correctly?" They have Singha beer, japanese sake, and more. Water dispenser for water in the left corner by the counter. Just walk up to refill your cup. Hot or cold. I ordered Wings ($14, does not come with sticky rice), and Sticky Rice ($4). I like how they're playing J-pop at a Lao restaurant. Just makes me giggle a little. They have shrimp chips for sale (looks homemade) 4 people after who ordered for me got their food first. I feel like my order was just sitting for a while when I only got pre-bagged sticky rice and wings. They are indeed sticky wings. Lemongrass and bbq flavor?

    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.

    Simple, authentic, Sichuan food in the same space as where they used to have simple, authentic…read moreShanghainese food . . . but apparently the business changed owners and the new one was more an expert in Sichuan cuisine, hence the change of cuisine. 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 am so glad I found this little hidden gem. Don't be fooled by the location at all. My friend and…read moreI were craving some Vietnamese and Thai food so we decided to Come here and give it a try. And we are so glad that we did. We started off with the appetizer that brought crab Rangoon, spring rolls, and dumplings. So good and even better with all the sauces to pair them with. 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 don't know if they have a new management or the owner is too busy to take care of his restaurant…read morenowadays.But the restaurant is go downhill faster than a roller coaster.Last Thursday,I came here with 2 friends for lunch.This used to be my best spot for Vietnamese food.But....no more and I don't plan to come back to give them any more chance. 1st,the waiter is no more friendly and warm welcome customers.3 of us ordered lunch special which I never ever try.Usually we come here for dinner.And that were where the problems came out. 2nd,I order Sweet tea and the tea come out with a big chunk of "I DON'T THINK IT IS SAFETY TO DRINK" floating in my tea(look like fat residue or mold residue inside the stuck sewage pipe or fountain/AC pipe) which I told the waiter and he DIDN'T DO ANYTHING OR DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. 3rd,The summer roll came out smaller than it used to be.The peanut sauce is saltier and less sweet. 4th,the sweet and sour homemade fish sauce has a weird taste(lack of sweet and sour). 5th,the fried eggs is too well done.The grilled pork is lack of aroma and grilled/lemongrass fragrance. Conclusion,The restaurant change a little bit outside.Look the same inside but the taste and the warm enjoyment atmosphere doesn't there anymore. P/s:We live 20 miles away from the restaurant.We don't come here too often because of the distance.But I always bring traveling friends here whenever they visit town for try "REAL VIETNAMESE DISHES".Have family dinners(6-8 people).And host at least 2 big dinner parties per year with foodie friends(15-20 people) every year.
