We started with the crispy chicken dumplings--crispy on the outside with a juicy, tender chicken filling. Perfect way to kick things off. We continued with three items: Beef Stew (Bún Bò Kho), Orange Chicken, and Sautéed Cubed Beef "Shaking Beef" (Cơm Bò Lúc Lắc). The Beef Stew (Bún Bò Kho) was heaven on a dish. The beef stew was easily the standout--rich, flavorful, and the beef was so tender it practically melted in your mouth. The vermicelli noodles were just as impressive. Just reminiscing about it makes my mouth water. The "Shaking Beef" was served over white rice (highly recommend), and every bite was better than the last. The garlic butter sauce really takes it over the top. Don't be fooled by the Orange Chicken--Boneless chicken, fried perfectly and coated in their authentic sweet orange sauce. The best Orange Chicken in town, hands down. No chance of leftovers here--you won't want to put your fork down.

Ok...so how can I put this. It really straddles the "Dive" line if you know it from the show…read more Ambiance is very casual. When we walked in on a rainy Thursday night it was dead. Then within the next 30 mins it filled up to about 70%. Food was really good. We opted for pho. A Pho Ga and Beef Pho with rare beef and meatballs. When I am back in the area I'll try again. One negative is the "one waiter" who seems like he's been there too long. If he knows you......if not.... Enjoy...

The food was amazing... this is the real OG spot that started it all . There is one in LA that just opened up as a franchise but I'm so happy I was able to make it to the original restaurant and try all the amazing dishes they had to offer. The flavors are spot on and I really enjoyed the broth . Though in the dead heat of summer it's not ideal to eat soupy things ... I kind of found it all refreshingly and not overly heavy . We dinned there at night so it was also pleasantly cool.... This place was packed needless to say even during summer . Highly recommend this experience.

Twenty Pho Hour is a modern Vietnamese restaurant that serves traditional Vietnamese Pho. While…read morethe name is punny, the food is delicious. The inside of the restaurant is like a life-size coloring book that screams to me photographed. My Overall Rating - 4 1/2 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - One of the best things about Twenty Pho Hour is the design. It's a 2D restaurant that looks like a huge coloring book. But as I glanced around the wall, one thing caught my attention: Twenty Pho Hour is Michelin Recommended. Challenge accepted! The only problem is I think their A/C was broken. The restaurant was hot and they had two big fans blowing air. I hope the A/C gets fixed. 1/2 Star. Service - You line up and wait to place your order. While this is standard quick service, the staff is super nice and helpful. They gave me some recommendations that I took and was rewarded. 1 Star. Food - Not sure how long they cook the pho broth, but it's legit. This is not Asian fusion or a modern take on Vietnamese Pho. Twenty Pho Hour is authentic as you can get. I ordered the staff recommended "Black Ox". This bowl came with not one, but two oxtails, both with generous portions of tender meat. If you come only once, order this dish. Twenty Pho Hour's version of this pho was...dare I say it? As good as the Oxtail Pho I eat at home. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I went from skeptic to believer after one delicious bowl of pho. There are 4 locations in the US. Hopefully it arrives in DFW next. If they do they'll already have a fan. 1 Star

While traveling through the Orlando, Florida area, I had the…read morepleasure of stopping at a local pho restaurant, and it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. From the moment I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and incredible aromas set the stage for a fantastic dining experience. I ordered a traditional beef pho with added oxtails, and it exceeded all expectations. The broth was rich, deeply flavorful, and clearly simmered with care for hours. Every spoonful delivered a perfect balance of savory spices and comforting warmth. The beef was tender ano plentiful, while the fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeños allowed me to customize each bite exactly to my taste. I also added tendon which was so delicious and melted in your mouth! The portion size was generous, making it an excellent value, and everything tasted exceptionally fresh. I also tried a Vietnamese iced coffee, which provided the perfect sweet and bold complement to the meal. What truly stood out was the combination of authentic flavors, attentive service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you're a longtime pho enthusiast or trying Vietnamese cuisine for the first time, this restaurant is well worth a visit. If you're in the Orlando area and looking for a comforting, flavorful meal, I highly recommend stopping by-you won't leave hungry, and you'll likely be planning your next visit before you even finish your bowl.

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!

The exterior of the restaurant looks decrepit and the interior is starting to fall apart and features half a dozen or so tables. There is even a derelict hanging out on the street by the front entrance for true Vietnam vibes. Started off with the fried egg rolls with crab and they were tasty. The crab that they put inside the egg roll is imitation. Moved on to the Iced Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk and it was strong and tasty, The bun bo hue was quite flavorful and had plenty of meats, including a giant pig trotter. The broth was great and the bowl also included a couple pieces of pork blood along with some veggies. ~$30/head after tax and gratuity for lunch

I've been a couple times now and it is definitely a good choice when you aren't craving specifically pho or bun bo hue. Inside is small but with limited seating but just enough during peak meal times. Most tables are for groups of 2-4 so not recommended for large groups. Turnaround seems pretty quick. The service is friendlier than most I've seen at Vietnamese restaurants. Love the bun rieu here! Pair it with an iced ca phe sua da for that well-rounded meal. And of course, you have to order the pho here at least once. You can't go wrong if you choose Vietnamese Cuisine for your next meal out!

Had lunch here this past weekend and it was busy!…read more Ordered the Special Pork Chop plate - My absolute fave in this restaurant. They do it very delicious. Tender boned in large pork chop - with broken rice (upon request). With the side salad of sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled radish / carrots and lettuce. Fried tofu skin shrimp roll, Egg souffle loaf, Pork skin shreds and a fried egg on top. A side of the sweetened fish sauce to dip the porkchop. This is large plate full of variety of items - This is why its the priciest rice plate on the menu. The service here is a hit or miss - water service was lacking. The bathroom here is clean. I like the waterfall faucet. Overall my go to place for specifically the vietnamese pork chop rice plate.

The inside is more modernized remodeled and they closed a few walls. The water bottles they give you is warm so request cup of ice if needed. I always get the oxtail pho here - It's not off the bone tender but the pcs you get is quite large, I received a large oxtail with 2 small ones. I also request "fresh noodles with steamed bean sprouts". And I order a small bowl which is still alot to eat from. The price point here is still cheap and the quality is still there. This place only serves PHO and desserts / juices. No summer rolls etc just PHO. It is what they are known for. The table has array of condiments to choose from - Chopsticks and soup ladles to get from. The service here is good and fast. Outside seating is extended it looks like.

Every…read morebowl 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!

Z Asian - Vietnamese Kitchen is such a pleasant surprise to my foodie experience and chronicles…read morethroughout Orlando and surrounding areas . On the hunt to try out cuisines I don't venture in often, this local gem popped right on up. Upon entry, it was very date-night coded. With various Vietnamese and cultural decor moments and the mood lighting, it was a nice little oasis / getaway from the usual. They had a nice playlist going and there was more than enough seating. Service was phenomenal. Now, at the time of my visit, it wasn't a busy night. It was only a handful of people there. So, our waitress was able to be super attentive and was so kind to our table. Our orders came out fresh, hot and quickly! I ordered one of their pho options, and it was super flavorful. It was also quite a bit of food, so, I did have leftovers to take home and finish the following day. It held up well and it was just as good the next day as it was the night I got it. Pricing is AWESOME! They are a Michelin Bib Gourmant restaurant - which means, it is "a prestigious award recognizing restaurant that serves exceptional, high-quality food at great value." The quality of the food alongside the pricing, just makes it worthwhile. They definitely deserve the hype and rave!! By far, one of my favorite "newer" cuisine experiences I've had in quite some time.

There's not enough street food places out there! One of my biggest complaints is that there isn't…read moreenough places that serves street food. I think any time you go to a restaurant that serves a type of ethnic cuisine, they focuses on the main or big dishes. For example, Vietnamese restaurants will always feature pho somehow and Cuban restaurants will always feature the Cuban sandwich in some capacity. However, street food or dishes that are small and meant for grab and go and sharing and to be affordable is not often featured at big sit down restaurants. The other thing is when street food is featured on a fancy sit down menu, the small plates and street food always cost more than it should in my opinion. Z Asian really surprised me in that I didn't think the prices were to unfair and it still felt elevated. They are a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant. We went here for a date night after watching Obsession. By the way, the movie is one of the best horror movies of this year in my opinion and I think a lot of people's opinion. We parked in the back lot as they don't really have a whole lot of street parking. That was confusing entering the restaurant since we entered from the back and it wasn't clear if the restaurant was open or if we walked in through the wrong door. We got seated fast and the waitress was really nice and engaging. We ordered banh khot, which is basically a mini banh xeo. Banh khot is an eggy crepe mixture that is panfried into a circle and a small amount of seafood is placed into the middle of it. It's small and finger food sized and served with pickled veggies and fresh lettuce and fish sauce to drizzle or dip. My rating is a 9.5/10. It was crispy and full of flavor. We also tried the mango tofu salad. It's similar to a ceviche. This was a 9/10. It has a little heat to it but very good and not too wet. We then ordered grilled mussels with is what it sounds like. It's mussels halves grilled with fish sauce and crushed peanuts sprinkled on top. I rate this a 8/10. I never see this in restaurants. On a good day, I can crush like 20 of these and call it girl dinner. We got the grilled corn as well. This is corn kernels grilled in butter and garlic topped with Sriracha. I rate this a 6.5/10. I think it's a good street dished but it underwhelmed me because it's just the corn and there wasn't a vehicle to deliver it to my mouth. The last item we tried was the grilled chicken rice noodles. This was a flavorful dish of veggies and chicken and rice noodles that are cooked in a pan. The rating is a 8.5/10. My overall rating is 9/10. They bill was on the higher end but I felt like it was worth the food we were eating the service and ambiance.
