It's very comfortable. My only issue was it took so long to get our food. We got the ramen and 2 orders of the pork dumplings together.

Moral of the story, don't show up hangry lol

There is a happy hour deal Mon-Fri from 3-6 pm but they don't advertise it too well, so make sure to ask about it. A thai iced tea is $3, and some appetizers are half off. Be sure to ask. My thai iced tea was very sugary so I'd recommend asking them to lessen the sugar considerably.

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!

Food 4/5 Service 4/5…read moreAmbiance 5/5 It was our 2nd time eating at Zaru and it wasn't anything memorable, which was what we thought the first time as well. We got their mocktail of the day, Nikutama Udon, and Spicy Miso Tantan Udon. The Nikutama broth was rather bland and the sliced beef was too chewy for my liking. I added the toppings on the side but still found it underwhelming overall. The Spicy Miso had much better flavor. They best thing was their mocktail, it was refreshing for a hot day! Service was mediocre, it was Saturday lunchtime so it took a little to get acknowledged/order and there was some waiting for the boxes/check too. Ambiance is superb/clean and the decor is modern. it's not the biggest restaurant but utilized the space with bench seating against the wall. I feel there are better options in the Mills50 area, but it's worth trying if you haven't since its a Michelin bib restaurant.

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!

Saigon Noodle & Grill is a great contemporary Vietnamese spot in the heart of the Milk District…read more The staff was super friendly and helpful--our server gave amazing recommendations, and we ended up trying a little bit of everything. 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.

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...

We ordered a bunch of things to share- the chicken karaage, gyoza with wings, okonomiyaki, tonkotsu black ramen, and a few skewers. Everything was delicious, but the shishito peppers were SO good!

Food was mid and absolutely not worth the wait. I came on a Saturday night at 8pm and was told…read morethere would be an hour wait. I fell asleep waiting in my car after an hour goes by and went inside to check because I saw empty tables from the outside and had heard from the hostess. I told her that I had been waiting for over an hour and she said that there was about 4 parties in front of me. I went back outside to wait for less than 5 min and she called me in saying the table had cancelled so my table is now available. That was already a red flag - she totally forgot about me!!! After being seated, the waiter took literally 15min to even come acknowledge us because he was too busy talking to his friends at the next table. Tonkotsu black ramen - 3/5 (not flavorful) Miso-hot ramen - 3/5 (bland and not creamy) Tan tan men ramen - 3/5 (the flavors were there but the noodles were super soggy) Tempura king oyster mushroom - 2/5 (bland, thick and hard to chew. they should've cut it into thinner pieces) Karaage - 3/5 (flavorful but chucks were too big and had too much batter) Inner thighs yakitori - 5/5

All the food was so delicious! The curry ramen was definitely the highlight of the dinner but I would also recommend the dumplings, pork jerky, and cucumber salad! The service was very friendly and gave great suggestions! If you come, I would recommend you order family-style so you can try more. Ratings: Curry Ramen 5/5 - Amazing! If you love curry you have to get this. I really love the egg noodles used, thicker than normal ramen noodles. Pork Tapioca Dumplings 5/5 - Chewy, and balanced nutty flavor because of the peanuts, perfect appetizer! Pork Jerky 5/5 - Tender and had some crispy parts, also comes with a sauce. Cucumber Salad 4.5/5 - Delicious, would recommend getting it spicy! Mango Sticky Rice 4/5 - Purple sticky rice with mango. I wish the mangoes were sweeter, but it's still so delicious! I'm sure their other desserts are also good! Crispy Rice Lettuce 3.5/5 - Had it better at other Lao places, but would still recommend if it's your first time trying it. Ask for more lime and spices to add to it. Overall, you can't miss the opportunity to try this restaurant if you visit Orlando!!!!

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.
