Absolutely incredible experience at Zen Pho & Noodles. The staff was extremely welcoming from the moment we walked in, and the restaurant itself is spacious with a really cute, relaxing atmosphere. The food was phenomenal. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. You can truly tell they focus on quality ingredients and authentic preparation. Every dish came out hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. This is easily some of the best noodle and Asian cuisine I've had in Jacksonville. The portions were generous and reasonably priced for the amount of food you receive. Definitely worth the visit and I'll absolutely be coming back. read more

Zen Pho & Noodles - Grill Combo Platter - Ramen Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This was my second time here and I really thought the food was better last time. So the reasons for the bad review started with the entrance... there was trash everywhere outside! Not just one or two items, but it looked like someone emptied a trash bag in their parking lot. The service was subpar. The guy kept saying he was new and was really nice, but didn't know the menu very well. The food was disappointing as well... I got the pho with tendon and brisket and I opted to pay an extra $1 for the fresh noodles, but totally not worth it. The brisket was chewy and some of the tendon was inedible (had to pay $2 extra ) . The broth had a chemical taste to it like they didn't rinse their pots thoroughly enough. The one good thing I can say about the place is that they offer a plethora of Asian noodle dishes from Vietnamese to Filipino to Thai to Chinese. If I ever do go back, I'll definitely try something different. read more

I love Zen Pho! The food is always great. Tonight I had the #1 Pho with everything. The broth itself is amazing. The meats are all top grade and butter tender. I also had the fresh Summer Rolls with grilled pork and shrimp. Thier grilled pork is so good as are the always fresh tasting shrimp. My server this evening was a young man from Vietnam named Quin. He was so warm and welcoming with a big smile. He also did a great job w the service! read more

6/28/2026 We visited after church today and our server was very attentive and upbeat. My husband faced the kitchen and watched the father son team work with full diligence in preparing all the orders. The atmosphere was quiet, clean and lighting was very adequate. The food was frsh, hot and flavorful. We were not rushed at all as we have experienced at other restaurants on a Sunday after church. We were asked by the server to give a review. I am delighted to say we will definitely come back and have the Pho or Ramen dishes also. read more

* Price: $15 bowel of pho or ramen, good size to share. A bit high for Jacksonville area. * Ambiance: casual, clean and spacious restaurant. Modern decor * Location: easy to find. Free parking. Near Asian market where they have night market on weekends. * Meals: mixed review from my family. * Service: friendly. We came here for family dinner while visiting my parents since my parents only like Vietnamese food... We found this place on google and seems to have good rating. The menu is pan-asian and extensive from bun bo hue, pho, ramen to pad thai. We ordered Bao, bún bò Huế, phở, calamari, bo luc lac (sizzling beef) and dry noodle. Bao ($8 for 2 bun bao): we have tofu bun. They are pretty good with fried tofu, cilantro lime, hot sauce. Calamari ($11): deep fried calamari with red peppers and onion. Calamari cooked perfectly, tender and crispy. Pho ($16): we had phở đặc biệt or every meat options (tripe, tendon, ribeye, brisket etc.) The both is decent but my parents think it is lacking some flavor. Bún bò Huế ( $16) or spicy beef noodles. Good flavor of lemon grass served with round thick noodle. I enjoy it but my sister thinks it's too salty! Dry noodle or hủ tiêu không ($17): central vietnamese dish. Flat noodles with shrimp, quail egg, liver served with broth on the side. My nephew finished the whole before i cam snag a photo... so it is good! Sizzling beef ($19) served with rice. For anyone who does not want to try new dish, this is a safe choice. Beef is wellcooked and good flavor. The portion is also generous. Pad thai ($15) is probably our least favorite. Yellow noodle cooked with some sauce which tastes almost like chowmein! Overall, for Jacksonville area, this restaurant is pretty good option for Asian cuisine. The menu is very diversed and covering many different Asian dishes. It is a good addition to the local food scene. read more

Main entree were red curry udon, Thai red curry with rice, pho noodle #2 with ribeye, beef bolgogi ramen, and kids pho. The flavors are good. Soo many selection that I know I will come back to try more dishes. read more

My parents were in town and they were craving pho. We decided to try out this place since we were in the area. Usually my mom would cook for me if I'm missing her Vietnamese home cooking but I decided to treat my parents out. Upon walking in, the restaurant is clean, cozy, and I love the atmosphere. Plenty of seating space and we were greeted and seated right away. Our waitress was super friendly and we enjoyed her company. She was kind, patient, super sweet, and made sure we were taken care of. I would love to have her as our waitress again! We ordered the following: Vietnamese iced coffee (cafe sua da): 6.5/10 - the flavor was good but I wished they would do the method where they give you a glass of ice and the glass with actual French press drip coffee. Most restaurants that I go to that serve Vietnamese iced coffee, will give you two glasses: one with the coffee inside the French press, dripping over the condensed milk, and a glass of ice (to pour your coffee over once it's done dripping). Their iced coffee was served in a plastic cup with a straw so it didn't feel as authentic. It was lacking that pow! In your face robust flavor of the chicory. My parents had the pho dac biet (pho with different combinations of meats like meat balls, tripe, sliced ribeye, tendon, etc) - my dad enjoyed his pho but my mom didn't like it as much. All the pho bowls came with a plate of mixed greens (cilantro, slices of jalapeños, bean sprouts, culantro, and lime). The plate of greens looked pretty scarce and a bit sad but the peppers were hot (we love spicy peppers). I tasted a little bit of my mom's broth and agreed that the broth was missing something. The flavor was there was it was a little on the bland side. I think maybe the broth didn't get a chance to develop its flavors enough. The essential ingredient of pho is its broth and if it didn't have enough time to develop, then you're going to need a lot of Hoisin sauce and Sriracha. My mom was pretty disappointed in her pho but my dad liked his. My mom gave it a 5/10 and my dad gave it a 7/10. Oxtail pho with ribeye slices- my husband had this and he too did not care for the flavors. The oxtails were not plump, juicy, flavorful, nor as tender. They also lacked fat and there was not a lot of meat on them. Oxtails are supposed to be rich, fatty, meaty, flavorful, and when cooked right, the meat and fat falls right off the bone. The oxtails he had in his bowl were small and didn't add flavor to the pho. He said his pho was bland and agreed with my mom that the broth needed to be developed more. He gave it a 5/10. For $22 a bowl, it wasn't worth the price. Zen ramen (Miso based with pork belly) - I had this and I enjoyed my bowl. The broth was so clean, clear, flavorful, and light. There was a good amount of noodles and they were cooked perfectly! The noodles were a good color, bouncy, and not too chewy! The pork belly melted in my mouth and I enjoyed the addition of the bamboo shoots, mushrooms, ginger, sesame seeds, scallions, and seaweed as toppings. The soft boiled eggs were also cooked perfectly with that semi runny consistency. My mom and husband tried my ramen and they both agreed that they prefer my ramen over their pho. I would rate this a solid 8.5/10! Overall, the service was outstanding and we loved the atmosphere. However, I gave a lower rating due to the food and the prices. The prices were a little on the pricier side ranging $14-$22 for a bowl of pho. My ramen itself was $17! I am willing to come back and possibly try again as I'm hoping it was just an off day. I do love that the menu is extensive and there's plenty of other dishes to try. I just wished that our first visit here with my parents was out of the ballpark. Nonetheless, it was good to spend time with my parents at a nice, cozy, and familiar place! read more

Zen Pho replaced a very mediocre Vietnamese restaurant at the same location. They didn't change the ambience much. It's a wide open dining room with plenty of seating and a "sit anywhere" policy. We ordered take out from the website. The pan-Asian menu is intriguing. Although I love pho, I ordered a rice dish instead. My wife had a noodle dish and my daughter had vegetarian options. We arrived about 5 to 10 minutes later than the app said our food would be ready and still had a 10 minutes wait before we were served. While my daughter was very pleased with her food, my wife and I found ours to be okay. I'd go back but mostly because they're are few Vietnamese alternatives in the area. read more

Back again and always a delicious experience. This time I got the Bang Bang Bowl with tofu and it was a 10/10. The sauce was a little spicy for me but they can put it on the side if you'd like. The flavors combined make the dish chef's kiss. read more

Please please please come here. I shouldn't have to beg. This place is the sh**!!!!!!!!!!! The ambiance is so cool and calming. You could come here to escape the rain, grab a two top next to a window and watch the droplets fall to a Netflix show or nice book. Or you could bring your family and friends and have an absolute monster of a feast. I costed this location about a month ago and it's simply unforgettable, the pricing is good, the food is fresh, and the staff is absolutely attentive. Try the Bun Bo Hue, or their rendition of it to be taken on the greatest herbal and savorous ride of your life. Ask for extra toppings and DO NOT FORGET to spend that extra dollar for fresh noodles. I'll never steer you wrong. read more

My husband picked this place out and I actually ended up liking it a lot. Our waitress was very bubbly and polite and very knowledgeable of the food.

One rotten apple spoils the entire tree. I've just come off a fast and wasn't comfortable with consuming raw/half cooked meat for health reasons. When explaining this to the waitress she immediately over talked me being extremely rude and disrespectful and accused me of blaming the kitchen for the order not being right. Had she just kept her mouth shut instead of expressing her concerns I would have been able to explain further that I didn't want to consume any part of the dish because of the raw meat. I'm the customer and if something isn't to my liking it's your job to make it right and not go into defense mode with someone who is investing their money into your establishment. The manager and another employee handled the situation in a professional manner giving me my drink for free, which I was willing to pay for, what a horrible experience because my first visit was absolutely lovely and wanted to bring my family. Please train your employees on professionalism not everyone will be as nice as I was, it's never okay to treat a customer with disrespect! I will not be returning and will give my honest opinion about this place to anyone who asks. read more

Had to explore the flavors of Zen Pho and Noodles on Normandy Blvd, and of course, we couldn't resist trying the mouthwatering fresh spring rolls. They arrived in an order of three, boasting an impressive size and an even more impressive taste, complemented by a delicious filling. We paired this delightful appetizer with the delectable ribeye and brisket pho, which proved to be a hearty and satisfying choice. The large bowl was filled to the brim with tender and flavorful meat, submerged in a rich and savory broth that left us craving more. In addition, we opted for the chicken Pad Thai, which proved to be a generous portion that did not compromise on flavor. The attentive service and reasonable prices only enhanced our dining experience, making it easy for us to recommend this restaurant to others. read more

Love love love. We live less than 10 minutes away from this place and I am so happy we do Usually we would have to travel all the way to the Southside for good pho but not anymore! My husband and I tried a mix of dishes tonight and they were all so good. The pad Thai was AMAZING. His pho was exactly what perked him up after being sick these last couple of weeks and the bao buns were absolutely delicious. We ordered DoorDash so I was surprised at how fast everything was done and brought to us. Everything was soooo hot and fresh. Thank you ZEN PHO AND NOODLES read more

This is a hard review, first the service was excellent and very people focused. The ambiance was clean and practical. Now on to the Food and I will start with Apps. Fresh Vietnamese Spring rolls were different, in that they had a very flavorful Smokey flavor pork, traditional shrimp was available. Next Japanese Takoyaki, very disappointing, they were empty with nothing but batter. Then they placed either Siracha or some type of Hot sauce on them. If you are going to cook , then do it authentically, so people know what the dish tastes like in its home country. Never hot sauce (lived in Japan 10+yrs), Bulldog sauce. You need to decide what you specialize in? Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Chinese or Thai? The menu is a mix as well as the dishes. Now on to the Ramen, If you say that it is a Miso Ramen, then make it a Miso Soup base, and not a Pho clear broth. The Bulgogi Ramen, had nothing in it? Great meat, correct noodles, a piece of Nori seaweed and a couple of Bamboo Shoots in a clear broth (tasted the same as the Miso based ramen?) I would stick with Pho and get away from anything Japanese. Price $79 for a small pot of tea, two bowls of ramen, fresh spring rolls, Takoyaki, and Fried Rice to go? I understand the price of goods have gone up? But that was unacceptable for what was served. read more

If my food came out any faster I would believe it if they told me magicians were in the kitchen! My husband and I tried Zen for the first time on a Friday evening. It wasn't busy at the time when we got there but I did notice Take out was starting to ramp up. The menu is mostly made up of vietnamese dishes and a few fusion picks like Pad Thai and bbq pork baos sliders. We ordered the baos, drunken noodles, and a noodle dish with broth on the side. This place might just be our new go-to if we want to save time on prep and clean up. Broth was piping hot and delish. Both entrees we would order again. Portion was good and they didn't skimp on any of the protein. We wete hungry so camera did not eat first. And Oh their mango tea was also a delight. read more
