Disclaimer-- I am aware pho tastes very different in takeout vs fresh in the restaurant. However, this pho was incredibly bland. The noodles reminded me of when I lived in a dorm in undergraduate college. There was just truly no flavor it was disappointing.

First off, I have to say that the service here was some of the best. We were greeted as soon as we…read morewalked in, sat within 10-15 minutes, and both the server and the owner chatted with us about the menu as it was our first time there! The restaurant is on the smaller side but they have it organized to fit quite a few people. The area is clean as well. The soup was so beautiful I almost didn't want to eat it! I've never had cold soup before but I definitely will be trying the other options throughout the summer. It was so refreshing!

The place is really small... I feel they could move into a larger space cuz they had multiple…read morepeople waiting for a table the entire time I was there. I don't feel they do a great job explaining their menu to people who are unfamiliar with udon, especially cuz there are no pictures for them to see what they're ordering. It was fine for me as I'm super familiar with Japanese food. We got tempura udon, which is something I've been craving, and they did a great job. I highly recommend it. We didn't feel like a cocktail so I got an iced tea and he got a viet coffee but they served it in a cocktail glass so it was such a small amount... def shoulda been served in a tall glass, cuz why do I have to be slowly sipping that c'mon. The service was good. They were all friendly and courteous. Oh, parking is a nightmare. There's a lot in the back but you'll be lucky to find a spot. There's street parking but that's also crazy. Def not their fault but just be aware. All in all a nice place. I'd def come back again for their food.

Finally tried Walala Hand-Pulled Noodles and they did not disappoint! My husband and I shared the…read moreboiled dumpling sampler (pork, beef, and chicken), chopped cucumber salad, beef skewer, and their ever popular spicy braised beef short rib stew with hand-pulled noodles. 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!

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.

Honestly, it's what you want in a lunch (in my opinion): Good food, quick service, chill atmosphere. Another thing I liked about this place is also that they have a decent amount of menu options. It didn't seem very busy but I didn't mind that in the least. The staff was very friendly and very nice. The food was very flavorful, a great temperature and tasted fresh. I now want to go back and try some more items!

Surprised as many times as I have been to this Jinya Ramen Bar in Thornton Park that I have never…read morereviewed it. So here it goes. To start, they have a great Happy Hour 3-6 pm with a limited menu, but Sapporo drafts and local brews are under $5 each. That is a win right there. They also have beer and Sake flights. My Go to here is the Tonkotsu Black Ramen, but I have had the others and never a bad experience. There is something really welcoming about Jinya. I suspect they treat there staff well and hire the right people. Everytime I am here I feel like they are over staffed, but there are plenty of tables inside and out in this intimate venue. My two favorite happy hour dishes are the Salmon Pke Tacos and the Crispy Chicken. I used to live on Lake Eola Park and I so miss coming here. Glad I stumbled in here today.

The presentation of the food online is what initially drew me to this restaurant. I had the chance…read moreto try one of the vegan ramen options and added an egg to the dish. The tofu was very soft and not my favorite in terms of flavor, but everything else in the Spicy Creamy V Ramen was delicious. I also tried the Impossible meat bao, but the texture of the meat was a bit too firm or overcooked for my liking, especially paired with the soft bao bun. That said, I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu, as there are so many options to choose from. Our server, Carl, was very friendly and attentive. I visited on a Friday evening, and the ambiance was relaxed yet lively, with plenty of groups enjoying dinner or drinks at the bar.

Just like my review from before, Susuru is still one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando. It's…read morestill such a fun retro izakaya whenever I'm craving ramen or Japanese style tapas, and the service is always top notch. We almost always have Asuka as our server, and she's seriously the sweetest. She's always so welcoming and somehow always recommends something that ends up becoming a new favorite. They've added more ramen to the menu since my last review, and the Tan Tan ramen has quickly become one of my favorites. The spicy sesame peanut broth is rich, flavorful, and has just the right amount of heat. If I'm not in the mood for ramen, I always go with the shiso butter yaki onigiri with a side of pork chashu. They torch the butter right at your table, which is such a fun touch, and it smells incredible. The mentaiko fries are still a must order every single visit, and for dessert you can't skip the matcha tiramisu or the taro ice cream with the hot green tea. The ramen, grilled meats, addicting appetizers, fun drinks, awesome atmosphere, and consistently amazing staff are exactly why I keep coming back. Easily one of my favorite spots in Orlando.

Kitchen is also open with a bar that looks directly into the kitchen as you dine. Drinks are simple. Plum wine, Japanese whisky options, beer, and soft drinks. Also a few mixed drinks, but again nothing crazy or exciting. Food was fresh and pretty good. The tuna sashimi appetizer was fantastic! The sauce is like a yum-yum and black sesame blend. Incredible. The bowl was wayyyyyy too sweet for me. Too much of the sauce. But the rice and chicken were pretty good. The pork belly is grilled and not seasoned much. So added it to the bowl to calm the sweet and it worked well. Overall, this place isn't worth queuing for, but still pretty good considering its location. Solid 6/10 for me.

I ordered a thai iced tea, the crispy rice lettuce wraps and Kapoon. Everything was fantastic. The rice dish was so flavorful and the textures were so variety and just an experience for the mouth. I liked that the didn't overdo it on the Lao sausage, and I love when the rice is paired with lettuce to make little wraps or cups. The Kapoon was amazing as well. Presentation was phenomenal - just check the photo! It was colorful, beautiful, flavorful and filling! I had to take it home with me I couldn't eat it all. The vibe in the restaurant is laidback and relaxed. It mimics a street food stall with low seating and long shared tables. The staff were friendly and clearly proud of their offerings. I would highly recommend. The only negative is that parking is rather limited, so just be prepared for that!

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.
