    Pho Bar is one of many Vietnamese restaurants in the Mills 50 area, and it's become one of our go-tos. This time, my husband and I ordered the bun cha Ha Noi, which includes grilled meatballs, grilled pork, fresh herbs, and vermicelli noodles. It pairs well with the sweet, tangy fish sauce, but be prepared to get a little messy making the wraps! We also tried the pork and rice dish for the first time here, and it was generous in portion and flavor was great. We skipped pho this time, but during our past visits, the fresh house noodles and clean, flavorful broth have never disappointed. Service is always attentive, and the consistency keeps us coming back!

    Pho tasted great! I love that they have cocktails too. Food was a bit slow but we did come at peak hours so that's reasonable. Service was good, they refill water frequently and checked in with us a few times. Inside is bigger than I had expected and have lots of seats and clean. Overall I'd come back again if I want pho and wanted to grab a drink with friends all in one spot.

    We visited during lunchtime but had no issues finding a table and getting our food quick. I had the shrimp pho with beef broth and a Vietnamese iced coffee. The broth was amazing, I'm thinking about it almost a week later. The house made noodles were not much larger than the thin noodles, but had great consistency and were fresh. I didn't need to add anything to the broth like hoisin or sriracha, it was perfect just like it came. My only downside was the medium bowl was still incredibly too much food, and I felt terrible not being able to take it home (had other stops before). The Vietnamese iced coffee hit the spot and was pleasantly mocha-y and had the kick I was expecting. Would definitely come back and hope to see a location in the St. Cloud area one day!

    This is definitely a modern Vietnamese spot not your super traditional pho house but still very good. The pho broth was about an 8/10, flavorful and comforting, but the real star was the Bún Bò Huế. My parents were obsessed 10/10, very authentic and even included traditional pig feet, which you don't always see done right. Service was friendly, but he forgot our Thai tea and only brought it after we had already finished eating. He did comp it which we appreciated but it was mentioned very casually. A quick apology or manager touch would have made the experience 5/5. Overall, really good food, great Bún Bò Huế, and a cool vibe. Definitely worth trying 10/10 would come back!

    I found out about this place from the yelp event "Flora and Fables" just recently. The pho is soooooo nice here!!! The broth has such a nice flavor and the fresh flat noodles are amazing! The place is decent looking and they have a pretty good menu. The service is very good. The staff are friendly and attentive. It is a casual restaurant that is pretty well lit. The kitchen looks extremely small but they do well with the food. The only thing that was not good was the popcorn chicken that my daughter got. I think it may have been because we got there at like 8:25 pm and they close at 9 pm so the chicken may have been sitting for a while (bottom of the barrel). It was really dry and hard around (the outer part). My daughter eats chicken almost any way. Like she eats just about every kind of chicken so I was shocked that she didn't like it. That's why we tried it too but she was right. It was very rubbery and hard to eat. It is possible that it was just due to how late we were ordering. Our server Marie was very nice about it though. She was extremely kind and helpful the whole time. I hate complaining about food especially because I know it's not done purposely. I just had to get my daughter separate food after since their kitchen was closed by the time I found out it wasn't good. The checks come as a receipt with a QR code which is SUPER COOL and efficient. It was so easy to pay. Overall, I recommend and I'd go back!

    Pho Bar is located in the Mills area. This restaurant is still considered new since it's only been around a few years. The interior is clean, modern, and has a beautiful mural to add to the vibe. I have eaten here at least a dozen times since they opened. The highlight is that the fresh handmade pho noodles are the best I've had so far. The broth is flavorful and robust. I usually order the special rib bone Pho which comes with a sizable hunk of meat that falls off the bone. I also enjoyed the Banh Beo appetizer which is a traditional and popular Vietnamese dish of small, steamed rice cakes with dried shrimp and oil infused scallions topping, accompanied by with a dipping sauce of sweet and spicy fish sauce. Their drinks are hit or miss. The service and friendliness of the staff is always consistent. That alone is a good reason to come back. What I have noticed the last few times is the quality has gone done a bit. Usually when I order my $24 bowl of rib bone pho, it feels elevated. However the last time I went there I got it in a small bowl, which is typically in a XL bowl, and everything seemed to be scaled down for the same price point. The flavor was a little off, but still flavorful. Mind you, I don't mind paying for quality pho even if it's overinflated. However, I have been to a few hole in the wall pho restaurants with less bells and whistles with the same quality. Although the past few meals there have been underwhelming, I still love the hand pulled Pho noodles here. I will give it another chance simply because it's always a treat to go to a place where I actually crave their noodles and can overlook the other discrepancies! There's a small parking lot and street parking available.

    I think it's fair to say that Pho Bar is the best pho restaurant in Orlando considering the 3 Yelp review elements: food, service, and ambiance. My bowl of flank and brisket pho was generous (a huge bowl though "regular size") and flavorful (thanks to the combination of the meats and the broth). The noodles hit the spot -- I'm glad I followed the server's recommendation and went for the house flat noodles. Our sever came to our table several times and our bowls arrived in what it felt like 5 minutes. So fast. The restaurant seemed very clean. Perfect amount of lighting for a pho restaurant and I liked the modern, Asian themed painting on the wall.

    RARE EYE ROUND & BRISKET PHO l Pho Tai Gau
    Guillana Socorro F.

    Usually this is our favorite Pho restaurant because the food is so good but today we had a disappointing experience with the server Rudy S. He not only forgot to add our drink of Fresh Limeade he also forgot to add the Sticky Ribs to go. He never once checked on us after giving the food. I feel like it does not justify the "Auto-gratuity" this restaurant makes mandatory. Servers should still deserve it. Overall love Pho Bar and the ambiance is clean and aesthetic. But the service today was upsetting

    Spring rolls
    Lawrence U.

    First time at this place. Service was fast. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Therefore Stacy and not that salty. Their pork chop was tender enough, and spiced well. Place is clean and pretty well organized. Will recommend to come back this place again.

    Susan C.

    Wow!!! Such a great spot. What the Pho, you will be amazed at the great pho and wonderful selection. The house pho special is so tasty, deep flavors, fresh veggies/herbs and plenty of fixings. The eye round & brisket pho was amazing. We also got the spring rolls- which were fresh and flavorful. This is a must try spot for Vietnamese food!

    Steamed Rice Cake (Banh Beo)
    Jonathan N.

    1st of, I was pleasantly surprised for the expectations of the foods, for having Pho Vinh as the ONLY go-to eat for Vietnamese food. The ambiance is clean, bright, modern, and comfortable. The menu was simple, once I familiarized myself to their menu. The chicken wings were very light battered, and flavored just right for tastes. The fried egg rolls, good, and recommended. However, not so on the Spring Rolls (Summer Rolls really), 2 much noodles to justified the prices, won't order future visits. Now, the Steamed Rice Cake (Banh Beo), W-O-W!!! We 2X that order up!!! Main dishes, Curry Chicken with Bread was great, recommend it!! The Pho dishes, yes, clean broth, light in flavors (And didn't get tummy aches after), just absolutely LOVE the "Homemade) noodles!!! Service, quite attentive & hospitable, thanks! Suggestion, trust your customers with the tip/gratituity, if well earned, in this case. It was a turned off when there 5 people (I usually leave the usual 25% - 30%), and I wasn't giving the option from the start. Server left himself short. 2-Star short of 5-Star, why?? The restrooms with NO paper towels at all, and not as cleaned as can be, at 12:40PM? Especially, when there were 4 people standing around conversing?! Suggestion to the management, "Inspect what your patrons expect, and, expect what you're patrons inspect." It's simple, really.

    SHORT RIB PHO
    Anthony P.

    I've been here about 10 times now and can't believe I never left a review. This has easily been my favorite pho spot in the area for the past year. There's a small parking lot in the back, but it's usually not hard to find a spot. The interior is modern, clean, and really nice, with a decent amount of seating. They do only have one bathroom though, so it can get a bit of a line during busy times. Now for the pho. The broth is seasoned perfectly and has that rich, hearty depth you want. You can tell they use just the right amount of bones and meat to give it real body. It's seasoned to my liking. Not too sweet and lets the stock speak for itself. I almost always order the combination pho, and my wife usually gets the short rib. You truly can't go wrong with either, and the meat portions are always generous. Recently I decided to change things up and tried bún bò Huế for the first time, and it was awesome. Spicy, savory, slightly lemony and tangy from the lemongrass, and super rich. If you're feeling adventurous and want something different from standard pho, this is a great option. The rice noodles have a different texture, and it comes with pork trotters and congealed pig blood. If you love tendons in your pho, you'll probably love the trotters -- and honestly, the blood reminded me a lot of bone marrow. We used to order their Thai tea a lot when they first opened, but the last few visits it's been pretty watery. We even tried ordering it with the milk on the side and could definitely tell the brew had changed. We let the staff know a few weeks prior and it seems to have gotten a bit better but not as good as when they first opened. It's been kinda watery the last three times we've gone, so we'll probably just walk to mills market down the street for Thai tea but this review is 100% about the food, not the drinks. Overall, this place is a gem and still my go-to pho spot. Highly recommend.

    Solid pho. This and Pho Huong Lan are my go-to pho spots. However, Pho Bar offers a more elevated ambiance - nicer seating, newer restaurant, more attentive service, a bar, etc. Of course, the price point is also higher here, too. They also have great honey garlic wings and mussels served on a sizzling plate. 4 stars only because I don't like the kind of noodles they use. The noodles are handmade, but they have an innate soggy feel that I just don't like with pho. Just preference.

    Noir Bar is definitely one of my top BARS to visit on my short list of bars I enjoy immensely. I've…read morebeen coming since it opened, and I really cannot say I've been disappointed. The ambiance and feel of the bar is very "sultry" and "intimate." The mood lighting, dark paneling/interiors paired with the bar itself being lit to be the center of attention, lends itself to the secretiveness and LURE that a modernized speakeasy would provide. I truly enjoy stepping foot into this little hidden, but NOT so hidden, gem (which can be accessed from the interior to Talay). Service can be slow at times - especially when they are busy. However, the staff is usually always gracious, helpful, and willing to serve. The few great mixologists I've met there have also been very willing to break down how they make their drinks and really give us a glimpse into their world. So, I'm appreciative of that. That is not something that you can always expect at bars. As for the drinks (and food I'll glaze over), I am usually not left disappointed. I appreciate that seasonally they play with their drink menu and introduce new cocktails. I also love a handful of their signature drinks on the menu. This may be the only bar I've had a drink with Aperol in it that I actually ENJOYED (and not tolerated). The pricing can get high depending on what you order, but for the area and the going rate of a night out, they hold their own. Definitely don't pop into Noir if you are looking for an AFFORDABLE cocktail experience because the tab will creep up on you. The food is OKAY. They share a kitchen with Talay and offer some items not on the Talay menu - which is nice. However, I rarely eat when I visit, so the few times I have, it's been okay. Nothing to truly brag home about. I am happy, though, that they did start offering food because in the very beginning (when they first opened), that was not an option. Anyways, Noir Bar is GREAT (to me)! I will keep coming here and recommending it to others. It's also great for a date night or night out with your friends. It's in a decent location - but please take heed of parking in this area, as it can be challenging to find FREE street parking. However, there is parking available all around and in various garages nearby.

Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list.

We looked over the happy hour menu (good all day on Monday nights and Tuesday through Friday 5-7pm). We ask Mel about the "Bartender's Choice" selection under happy hour drinks.

Mel asked if we had any allergies or any other issues that might affect the drinks the bartender would like to make. We said we did not and we decided to take on this "choice" experience. Serena was the bartender of the evening and she did an amazing job. She mixed up various concoctions for us throughout the night (we ordered a second round after the first one) and we enjoyed every drink she prepared. The presentation of the drinks were also well done. Serena's cocktails consisted of bourbon, rum, and various ingredients which could include bitters, lemon, agave or other cocktail mixers. She was the bartender extraordinaire of the evening. For food, we ordered the half dozen chicken wings (2 orders since they were so good) and the pizza empanadas to start. The two empanadas had mozzarella cheese stuffed inside and were served with a warm marinara. From the main menu, we ordered the Faroe Island Salmon, which was served on a bad of risotto and tomato butter, with capers. The portion of the salmon was somewhat small for the price of $28, but it and the risotto were cooked perfectly. We ended the night with their signature drink, "Death in the Afternoon" which contains absinthe and is one of my favorite drinks here in Orlando. It was another five star experience and my friend found a new restaurant she now loves. All in all, a great night thanks to the attentiveness and easy-going attitude of Mel, our server, and the exceptional cocktails from the bartender, Serena. Thank you both for a job very well done!

We ordered the buffalo chicken egg rolls and the deviled eggs (with no bacon) as appetizers. For our new drinks we got margaritas, I got a regular margarita and my partner got a passion fruit margarita. For entrees, I had the famous fried chicken and my hubby had the meatloaf. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice, relaxed, they keep the shades lowered during the day to reduce that sun intake and it's lovely. It feels nice and relaxed in here no matter the weather outside. Again, we enjoyed the experience but the service was fairly slow. We had to pretty much know what we wanted by the next time we saw our server or flag her down to get her attention. She was waiting about 4 tables on our area. We were party of two.

    Super cute bar and shop in East End Market!…read more We came in for an appetizer and a drink, while we waited on our reservation at Domu , and it seemed like a lot of others were doing the same! Our server was very kind and she gave us recommendations for appetizers and my friends chose the garlic bread and the whipped feta. Both were very delicious! The whipped feta had this sweet jam paired with it. I got a tequila cocktail, I forget the name, but it ended up being a little too sweet for my liking. Their little ship had cute Knick knacks and the ambiance was very warm and welcoming! I would love to come back to try more food and cocktails!

    I'd somehow walked through East End Market countless times before realizing there was a bar tucked…read moreupstairs--and now I'm wondering what took me so long! The Neighbors is a cozy little hideaway that's perfect for grabbing a drink after exploring the market. We had already eaten downstairs, so we just stopped in for a couple of cocktails, and it was the perfect way to wind down. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Just a heads-up: seating is pretty limited, so I'd recommend arriving a little earlier if you're visiting during peak hours. Whether you're looking for a pre-dinner drink or a nightcap after browsing East End Market, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

    What a way to start the weekend. I had been in shade before just to stop in for a cocktail. I…read morereally enjoyed their espresso martini and the white kimono. But this time, I actually got to dine in for an appetizer and get a different drink. This place is always packed and vibrant and lively. We decided on the place last minute. Definitely recommend making a reservation. We were lucky to get two seats at the bar - the last two in fact. I got the transparency issue and it was what the bartender called "adult juice." it was sweet, but also very light in floral with the rose essence. Great alternative to my usual drink. My friend got the coco craze and WOW! I was impressed. The drink was so tasty and refreshing and yes, it was THC infused. We asked the bartender how much approximately the drink contained and she said about 6 mg for this drink and the other two drinks offered were 5 mg. I would get it next time for sure. I chose to have the pork belly to have a bite, and it was so tasty. The slaw and the pork belly went so well together, and it was a good combo of savory and sweet! On Fridays, they do have a DJ in the evening.I have not been on Saturday or Sunday to confirm if they do then but it definitely adds to the ambiance. She was great! Definitely a nice place to get together with friends, they do offer happy hour for drinks as well as an oyster special on Tuesdays. I know they have brunch menu, so maybe one day I'll be popping in for brunch to check it out.

    Lamp and Shade was such a fun experience. The tapas-style menu is excellent, and the portions are…read moresurprisingly generous, so you get to try a variety of dishes without leaving hungry. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well done. One tip: make sure to check the very back pages of the drink menu -- that's where the specialty cocktails are hidden, and they're absolutely worth it. They also use a drink strength rating system, and trust the numbers -- they are very accurate. The atmosphere is great too. They play music inside, but it's at the perfect volume where you can still comfortably have conversations without yelling across the table. Between the food, drinks, and overall vibe, it made for a really enjoyable night out. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.
