Pho Hoa Noodle Soup (Orlando)

This is not my first time here and I can say that they are consistent with the quality. I had chicken pho and fried spring rolls. The spring rolls were absolutely delicious but the pho was on the bland side, the broth was definitely not hitting right. Service was great and the atmosphere was simple and clean. I will be back but definitely going to try something else.

Staff is very friendly place is very clean and nice service was quick. I ordered the number 41 Pho and it was very, very good.

Date of visit: 6/4/2025 Pho Hoa is a fantastic spot for authentic Vietnamese food in Orlando. The flavors are bold, the portions are generous, and the dishes are made with care. I tried the Vietnamese pancake and was seriously impressed. It was crispy on the outside, filled with fresh ingredients, and had that perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet. It’s a must-try if you’re looking for something beyond the usual. The pho was just as good; rich, flavorful broth, tender cuts of meat, and fresh herbs that brought everything together beautifully. It’s the kind of bowl that hits the spot and leaves you wanting to come back for more. The service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. If you’re in Orlando and craving quality Vietnamese food, Pho Hoa should be at the top of your list.

Awesome food. Spent $15 for a large/medium bowl with steak and brisket. It came with all traditional phơ additions! Food came out incredibly fast. They have a nice fish tank.. pretty much everything was great, except the service wasn't super good. I mean, they did their job but not a warm environment aside from the lady at the end checking me out - she was kind. I would go back!

Some of the best Vietnamese food I've had in a long time! The pho broth had a depth of flavor that many other places lack. The bun bowl was absolutely delicious and had the perfect proportion of ingredients. The summer rolls were great as well. Very fair prices. Service was friendly and food came out fast. I'd definitely come back again!

We visited Pho Hua for the first time this evening after driving past many times over the years. The parking lot was absolutely packed (though that was most likely from A La Cart right next door) and we needed to park across Primrose in the parking lot behind Total Wine and More!! Wow!! The restaurant wasn’t too packed inside though and we were immediately seated. After eating here, I can say this place is a bit of a hit-or-miss. Service is great, all employees are happy and smiling, but some of the dishes we ordered weren’t very good. Perhaps it was because we didn’t order the right things, but in my opinion, if it is a “good choice”, why have it on the menu in the first place? I definitely would be willing to go back, but be mindful of what you order. We got a fresh Vietnamese lime soda (which was very good), Grilled Mint Beef appetizer (super unique but surprisingly tasty), Vietnamese Pancake appetizer (which was not that great), Summer Roll Sampler (which was excellent!), Iron Pot Braised Short Ribs (a bit disappointing unfortunately), and Stir-Fried Curry Chicken (which was very nice). So yeah, half of the things were good, and half of the things not so good. We didn’t like the Vietnamese pancake because it didn’t have much flavor - it was just steamed pork and shrimp with bean sprouts inside a rice pancake. The crispy part of the rice pancake was good, but other than that, there wasn’t much flavor. The iron pot short ribs were just “okay” - I don’t think that’s worth ordering. It was a bit fishy-tasting from the fish sauce they used, and I’ve had the caramelized pork in an iron/clay pot before, but haven’t had this issue. The grilled mint beef appetizer was really good because it had a great flavor combo, the summer rolls were excellent (especially the sour meatball and beef summer rolls - I highly recommend), and the chicken curry was nice too! It’s similar to a Thai curry, but there are some differences. So yeah, I feel like this is a place that has been around for a long time and is one of the older restaurants in this Asian-restaurant area of Orlando, and at one time it may have been at the top of the list. However, as more and more inventive restaurants have come into the area, Pho Hua may have lost their edge. There’s no reason they can’t change the menu up a bit and bring in some more unique and special Vietnamese dishes though! All in all, look at reviews and see what other people are ordering. I think you can have a great experience here if you order the right things on the menu! 🙂

I have been coming here since 2017 & I love this place. The food, the service and atmosphere is amazing. My go to is the combination pho & Oreo milkshake with boba. The summer roll sample was so good. Enough to share between two people(two of each one, my favorite was the meatball) . The pork chop taste so good, a lot of flavor( it wasn’t even my plate but I couldn’t stop eating it)

It’s a fantastic Vietnamese noodle restaurant with great-tasting dishes at reasonable prices. The portions are generous, and everything was delicious. Highly recommend it for anyone craving a satisfying bowl of pho!

This is my go-to spot for really great Vietnamese food. I love their Pho Tai, whenever I'm sick this is what I get. I add in sprouts, lime, hoisin and sriracha. It does come with basil, culantro (not to be mistaken for cilantro) and Thai chili but I opt out of these add ins. The soup is so refreshing and the meat portion is generous. Service is fast! The food comes out fairly quickly and the wait staff are all very friendly. I've been to this place so many times I can't count and all times, the service has been great. Other dishes I've had that are my fav is the Summer Rolls, I think their peanut sauce is the best. It's the right amount of peanut, tangy, sweetness! Their grilled pork chop rice platter is to die for with their amazing fish sauce. I drown my rice in it! The Banh Xeo is the super crispy and soooo gooodddd. The most surprising dish was when my friend ordered Tofu Xao Rau Cai, it's a fried tofu with vegetables in some sort of brown sauce and it's absolutely delicious!

Can't believe I haven't written a review on this place yet. Thought I did but I guess not. It's a nice Vietnamese restaurant. Very clean. Bathrooms are clean to use. Different variety of foods to choose from. Waiters are very attentive. Took our orders right away. My family and I ordered the goi, com daylc biet and bun rieu. Last time we ordered more but I didn't take photos of it. Every meal we had was good. The family enjoyed it and this my grandma's to go place for Vietnamese food.

Amazing food. Great Service. And good ambiance. This is a really good place not bad pricing. Good and fast service.

We came here 2 years ago and had a really great experience hence the return. Unfortunately we did not have the same great experience this time around. The rolls ordered were fine but the pho, the main course, was lacking. It's very likely the pho was ready too early and sat in the kitchen. Our noodles came out stuck together at the bottom of the bowl and the broth was no longer as hot as it should be. They also forgot the vegetables and had to bring it out after. Had to ask for refills on water - overall attentiveness was lacking and it wasn't due to the restaurant being busy. Disappointing.

Pho Hoa has become our ultimate go-to spot for a reason! This restaurant consistently delivers not only exceptional Vietnamese cuisine but also impeccable service. Whether it's a quick bite or a leisurely meal, Pho Hoa remains our top choice for an authentic and delightful pho experience. Every visit has been met with quick and efficient service, ensuring that the dining experience is as smooth and enjoyable as the flavors in their dishes. It's worth noting that despite the popularity, finding a table has never been an issue. The staff's ability to accommodate guests promptly is commendable. Now, let's talk about the food - it's truly the star of the show. The flavorful broth, the fresh ingredients, and the variety of options cater to different tastes. The quality and taste of their dishes undeniably exceed expectations and are well worth the price. What sets Pho Hoa apart is their consistency. With each visit, the food remains consistently excellent, ensuring that every dining experience is just as satisfying as the last. Pho Hoa has undoubtedly earned its place as our favorite pho spot. From the outstanding food to the swift service and comfortable setting, it's an all-around win. For anyone seeking an authentic and delicious pho experience, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit.

Pho hoa is our favorite pho place in town! Staff is attentive and friendly. Love the art outside. The food comes out quickly and there are multiple options for your meat selection. The broth isn't overly sweet and there is a good serving of noodles. They also have different size bowls to fit your hankering. We don't mind driving here for the pho!

First time coming here and it's the best pho spot in Orlando yet !!!! Taste so authentic

Love this place! Today we had the pho with brisket and cha gio. The bean sprouts and basil were fresh and savory. We were seated quickly and adequate parking behind the restaurant. The dining area busy was buzzing with conversation. Lots of families here on a Sunday morning. It's a beautiful sight. The service was good. Waiters were prompt and food came out quickly. This is one of my new favs in Orlando!

Food is great but service is never pleasant. Whenever you say thank you, they never respond, especially when you go to pay. Really don't like the service but I'll go for the food. The prices are decent too.

Great Vietnamese food. I lived in Chicago next to Vietnamese village for a decade. Had a really hard time finding a place that's good here in Florida. I live in Sarasota which is really far but every time we're in this area this is where I want to go.

Our last meal of the Orlando trip- Pho Hoa. Growing up in the west coast, pho has been one of the most accessible and prevalent foods available around where I lived, which made me a picky eater when it comes to pho. That being said, this place has an amazing pho- flavorful, deep, umami, great portion-etc. When you crave pho, come check out this place!

I haven't been to this place since before Covid. Same good food, and they even had Bho Ko (beef stew), which was a pleasant surprise. We came in with about 45 minutes left to eat, and they didn't give us any bad looks or a hard time. They give us the same quality customer service, which you all know I love. I will have to start coming back here again whenever I'm feeling like some pho when I'm downtown!

Dinner here twice. But didn't have the the pho. Haha The "suon ram man" / salty caramelized ribs are really tasty along with "canh chua" / hot and sour soup. The second time I returned, I had the "com tam dac biet" / specialty rice plate. Overall underwhelming, the tofu shrimp and shredded pork skin were the best items. The pork chop and egg meatloaf lacked flavor.

Very authentic! I really like the broth in the Pho, very rich yet clean. They're not cheap about giving bean sprouts and herbs which I love. The brisket in the soup was tender and delicious. My husband ordered Braised Short Ribs. Flavor is very good but for me it was little salty. Went there for lunch. The service was very quick.

One of the best place for pho even tho i got the vermicelli noodles. Service is great due to kind employees. Will definitely be back for a good time! Atmosphere is always great

Really good quality pho! Although I wasn't completely full, they give a decent amount of meat, and the broth is so yummy. The service is also friendly and quick, we were seated pretty immediately for a table of 11. I really have no complaints!

Used to go here often but portion size isn't worth it anymore for Pho but I would go here for big party's and family. Solid food and menu always happy with everything else.

Very good authentic Vietnamese food. There Pho is classic and rich. Braised pork was flavorful but not as tender as expected. There coffee was fabulously intense! Very casual atmosphere with very attentive service.

Fantastic good, quick service and ample parking for an area near Downtown Orlando. 5+ visits and I have enjoyed it every time.

My hairstylist friend, who's Vietnamese, recommends this place. It was good! The resto is fairly spacious - they have covered patio seating, perfect for this time of the year. They do their pho menu in a creative way, both in terms of how adventurous your palate might be (cuts off the cow - ready to do tendon, are ya?!), and size of bowl. We ordered the recommended appetizer with 3 meat selections and a small salad, (14.95), and shared a bowl of Pho with everything in it, the swimming pool size (17.95). Both were satisfying. I'm thinking that, next time, honestly, unless we want to bring a container for left-overs, just the latter to share is more than enough for the two of us. Be site to check out the lovely murals all around the building!

Loved their grilled pork and egg roll vermicelli bowl! The flavor of the lemongrass marinade and smokey grilled flavor is so so good. My only complaint is that the pieces of pork are very fatty and strung together - kind of wish the meat was trimmed more, but it was still delicious. The egg rolls were hot and crispy and very obviously made fresh - they even give you two!

Pretty decent pho for the price. Service was excellent, easy to flag down the waiter and friendly staff. Soup was hot and fragrant while the veggies were fresh and crunchy. The little pepper is very spicy so be careful if you can't handle the heat.

Pho Hoa is actually part of a restaurant chain, something that actually kind of surprised me. I just always assumed it was an independent shop, like most of the other Vietnamese restaurants located either on East Colonial Drive or just off of East Colonial Drive just east of downtown Orlando. When you pull up, I am confident that you will enjoy the murals painted on the outside. It gives a bright and colorful vibe and should lift your spirit as you walk into the restaurant. The staff is friendly and provide good service. I went with pho and was overall pleased with my choice. Vietnamese restaurants in Orlando, and especially in this area, are plentiful and there are a lot of great Vietnamese restaurants to bring some fierce competition. Pho Hoa does offer a quality menu that stands proudly amongst the solid Vietnamese restaurants in this area.

Easily the best Pho in Orlando I've had so far! The broth is very rich and tasty, the noodles had perfect texture and flavor. They have different sizes for bowls; small, regular and large. The one in the picture is regular. Summer rolls were pretty good, the peanut sauce was ok (I've had better). The prices are reasonable. I have no complaints about the service. I had enough attention from the staff, my food came out fast and I got checked on once, which was perfect, considering I was there for a quick lunch. Inside is your typical Vietnamese restaurant, nothing fancy, but if you want a good pho, I would definitely recommend this place.

I'll cut to the chase, the pho is delicious. I felt a bit under the weather and finally decided to try this place since I desperately wanted some soup. I went on a Friday around 1 pm. I was seated and served quickly. I ordered the shrimp summer rolls and a regular sized steak and brisket pho (#32 on the menu). The summer rolls were at my table within about 5 mins and the pho followed right after. The broth is very flavorful and piping hot, meat is tender and noodles are cooked perfectly. It came with all the fixings on the side: culantro, basil, bean sprouts, lime and a green chili. The restaurant is spacious and and the staff is friendly. I'll definitely be back to try out more menu items.

My husband and I both had the Pho and it was was very good and authentic tasting! Definitely recommend!

Stopped in with the intent of keeping it simple and getting a bowl of pho, but photos on the menu redirected my attention towards the house special clay pot rice. Not a bad choice at all, with rich flavor and a nice variety of vegetables, but definitely a little greasy on the palate. I was able to take half of it home for lunch the following day, but that was less because of a generous portion size, and more because it felt a little heavy. I'll return, but will definitely get the pho next time.

Pho is amazing. egg rolls amazing. Banh Xeo amazing. Service is also amazing. Pho has a good meat flavor to it strong but not over powering. Egg rolls crispy almost tastes like it was fried in fresh oil but I know it wasn't since I got there middle of the day. Banh Xeo - if you know then you know. It's not the best but comparatively speaking it's better than most.

Been coming here for years! Have tried other pho places but Pho Hoa is our favorite. Favorite dishes are pictured. Always tastes good and service is great and quick. Fast casual place and is great for a comfort meal! When we have company, we bring them here to try it and it's always a hit. Check out my post on IG: @insta.eatsfirst

The outside of building has some really nice artwork, and plenty of parking. Restaurant staff were friendly and seated us quickly. I like that they have two sizes of pho with a ton of variety, and a summer roll sampler with grilled pork (more flavor in my opinion). I do wish they would add more herbs to the rolls. The pho was good and the table had all the sauces needed to flavor it to your liking. We did two take home meals and both had really great portions. You'll probably need to plan on making extra rice at home if you like to break up your meals. Both dishes, curry chicken and spicy tofu, were flavorful and I thought the spicy level was great.

Awesome place for a tasty and comforting pho! Have been coming here for years and the food never fails. Fresh, made to order, friendly staff, attentive, varied menu, super nice owner and one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Orlando! Flavor is constant and they do know how to make a good pho. They are always busy and even though we like to try new dishes, we always go back to our favorites and go to's. Have tried other places and none hit the spot as Pho Hoa. Thank you!

I have been to Pho Hoa countless times and it has never disappointed. My family and I love to come here when we are in the mood for Vietnamese. We have always had friendly service and have never waited an exceptional time for food. I am pescatarian but I tend to order vegetarian and have eaten many of their "chay" meals. From the veggie vermicelli to the pho, all have been fantastic. They will also swap meat for tofu in many dishes if you ask. My brother orders the traditional pho and loves it there. They also serve another dish called crispy rice noodles that I don't see at a lot of restaurants that is epic.

Beware. Secretly overcharged customers. Don't provide proper receipt. We got overcharged by about 20% on top of expected 6.5% local tax on both takeout & dine in visits. They have no sign or disclosure anywhere. Not in the menu either. Their receipt is a simple handwritten note that shows only the total amount due. No cost for each item or tax amount. This way they can charge whatever they want. Food is just average. It's a franchise. We even asked for a receipt. But we got another handwritten paper listing the items we ordered but still shows no prices or tax and any extra fee. They don't want us to know what else they charged us for. And many places do that to evade taxes. This happened to us on several visits (even takeouts). So it's not a one time thing.

New to Florida and when I drove here I saw there was another vietnamese restaurant next door. I checked the reviews and they were great there. I walk in here and see a big aquarium with healthy fish. That's when you know it's a legit vietnamese place. The place was filled with customers and they had a really good efficient service. I asked for their chili oil and was glad they had it. Some places don't. It didn't seem homemade though. Just chili flakes fried in oil. chicken crispy noodle Not enough noodle. But it was delicious! A little on the sweet side. It was nice to see a large variety of ingredients. I'm used to paying $12 for this for a bigger size back in the bay area, California. So $15 is pricey. Bo kho xl They didn't skimp on the noodle, nor the meat. It was very delicious. Every place does bo kho differently. This broth was more clear than it was thick and red but it was good. For $17 it was a bit pricey. Overall, delicious place even though prices are high.

I came here once again and the food was incredibly! The pho was so hot and fresh and the portions are great for the price! The curry dish was also super flavorful. All of our items came out in a timely manner and the staff was phenomenal once again. This is turning out to be one of my favorite pho restaurants in Orlando!

It's a traditional Vietnamese resto that has great food. We loved everything we ordered. Was craving good Viet food and my friend recommended this place. If only I lived nearby I would frequent it and try as many dishes I could because they have a very extensive menu.

This was a regular size it's always delicious this is my spot in town to come for pho all the time. The best selection and the waiters are always kind

Great location, fantastic service, great food, many options. Very Authentic Vietnamese food & experience for the whole family.

We went in a busy holiday week. The place was packed at 8pm. We were a group of 9. The service was good the food was also excellent. I haven't been here for several years but will be going back soon.

Went here to dinner with a local foodie group. It is located next to another Pho resturant so pick your choice. We sat down and waited for others to arrive. It got busy after a little bit so service was a tad slow but understandable. I ordered the grilled pork summer roll and steak with veggies dish. The summer roll was nice and tasty. The peanut sauce was kinda bland. It didn't matter as the roll compensated for this. The grilled steak dish was delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly and seasoned right. Came with rice, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and peppers on the dish. I added the rice onto the dish to soak up the sauce. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.

My fave Vietnamese restaurant in Orlando. It was recommended by my Vietnamese friend which means it is legit authentic flavor. The last couple times I visited I had to get the same dish because I like it so much. It was the special combination vermicelli plate. I got to wrap my own summer rolls with a variety of meat and herbs. It is so much fun to do it. They have a good variety of Vietnamese dishes that you might not have seen at a PHO 99. You should check out this place if you want some great food.

Wow. Beef 7 course is SO SO SO GOOD. Perfect for 2 average appetite. All dishes were fresh and tasty. Food so good I don't even pay attention to service so unable to rate. But just the good food is well deserving of the 5 stars. We will for sure be back with friends in the very near future

MY FAVORITE PHO place! I've been going to this place for years. It's great if you eat inside and it's also great if you take it home. 10.10!

Very reassuring to know that there are great pho places in Orlando. Had the pho dac biet which is all kinds of beef variations. It was simply delicious and comforting. I can write all about it, but it does the job in comfort food. Very tasty and I look forward to coming back here again whenever I find myself in Orlando again. Prices are what you expect with the rising inflation and they are not overcharging at all. The staff here were helpful and friendly. The restaurant is spacious and there's a fish aquarium at the entrance for your viewing pleasure. Parking is abundant and free.

Excellent Vietnamese restaurant with lots of dishes I don't usually see. Service was extraordinary.

Fantastic food with great service!! The menus have something for everyone. The restaurant is always clean and inviting. If we are anywhere within 25 miles of this place, we always stop.

Yum yum! Let's show some love to this local staple that's been here for upteen years! (I say upteen because I have no idea but it's a damn long time.) I've never had a bad meal here. Whether you come for the pho, bun bo hue, crepes, summer rolls, vermicelli bowls or whatever.. just know you'll be happy. The service is quick, efficient, and friendly. This spot is known for its awesome graffiti murals outside too. It's right across from A-la cart on Primrose and Colonial. It's one of the many places on Colonial that you can get Vietnamese food but the fact that I can't remember it not being her is a testament to its staying power due to good eats.

This is the best place to get fresh tasting Pho Soup!!! It is so delicious and fragrant. The fried egg rolls are very very good and the service is always excellent. The people make the experience very enjoyable! I drive 40+ minutes just to eat here!!!

Been coming here for years and needed to update the review! It's one of the best pho places in Orlando and their broth is top notch. Overall good service and delicious eats. Constantly better experience than my first review years ago.

Tasty broth, soft brisket, good portion of food, great service. The summer rolls are also yummy! I recommend it!
