we ordered takeout on DoorDash. it was delivered hot and it was delicious. Exactly what we needed. The perfect comfort, dude.

Finally, good Pho near my home! If you like Pho, they do a great job and greet you with friendly service. The interior is very modern and visually engaging. While we didn't try anything other than the Pho and Thai Tea, I am comfortable recommending this restaurant. read more

We have been going to Bowl of Pho for almost 9 years every week . We stopped at this location last night. Very upscale decor with great food, fabulous service and 3 miles from our house. I had the red Thai curry with rice and enjoyed every bite with enough to take home. My husband and MlL had pho. Definitely will come back and will put it on a regular rotation. read more

We love pho and noticed this newish restaurant that is close to our house. Service was very fast and the restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. I ordered a special stone bowl pho. I didnt know that it would come out with most of the meat uncooked and that you would add it at the table. I think I will order one without the stone bowl next time as it took a while to cool down enough for me to eat it. The flavors were very good though. My peach tea was oversweetened and we added water to be able to drink it. My wife got pancit with tofu and she liked her dish. I definetly recommend it and will be going back, just slightly short of five stars. read more

I've been here a few times and they have been consistently delicious with all the dishes, such as Vietnamese beef for a noodles and appetizer crispy shrimp with sweet sauce. Their special hot stone pot is the one and only in town, super unique concept to eat your beef noodle soup. It comes with a variety of fresh meat that you can dip into the stone pot as you eat to keep the noodles fresh and boiling hot. Definitely worth every bite is delicious and the broth has great depth of flavors and sweetness from of the slow cook of the pork bones which makes flavorful. Ambiance is modern and inviting! Service is quick and super friendly! Highly recommend this gem if you're craving authentic Vietnamese food! read more

Delicious! Fresh & tasty fast service too place is nicely styled spotless even restrooms spotless nicely tiled.

Came here for dinner. The place retained the interior of the previous restaurant which is good, the design is beautiful and the space is welcoming. For appetizer, we got the fresh spring rolls with shrimp and chicken plus peanut sauce. It was good. For the mains, I got the Chicken Pho. Excellent broth, perfect with the cold weather. My husband ordered the Lemongrass Chicken. I super enjoyed the lemongrass chicken, it was very tasty! We both agree though, that the protein portion was on the small side. Overall, we can't wait to come back and try other items in the menu. read more

I highly recommend this place! The food is fresh and hot, the service is excellent, and it is convenient to where I live. The bao buns with pork belly were hot, soft, full of flavor, and recommend by the waitress. The pancit with shrimp was the perfect portion, and it was loaded with bell peppers, onions, carrots, shrimp, cilantro, and noodles. I'm glad that I stopped by for lunch on a Sunday, and it wasn't super crowded or loud. read more

I was a first time visitor, and I really love this place! My mother has been looking for good Pho, and Zen was recommended by a Yelp colleague, Alanna. I'm glad I trusted our Yelp community with this excellent referral. While my mother loved the Pho, it's not really my style, so I had the Zen fried rice with pork which was absolutely delicious! I tried it first as-is, and then added a little Sriracha for some added flavor - It was delicious both ways. The menu is quite vast with plenty of selections for those who love authentic Vietnamese food, as well as those who are looking for something more neutral. Service was absolutely wonderful - I wish I remember the young man's name who helped us, since he was so kind. The setting is attractive and modern, and there are plenty of seating options including booths, tables, and a bar seating area. The quality of food is excellent, and the portions are quite large and they were kind enough to offer to-go containers at the end of our meal. Pricing was quite reasonable, averaging about $30 per person, including tip, tax, and drinks. Free parking is plentiful in the lot - my advice is that if you're coming across Racetrack road from the east, the Google directions are incorrect telling you to turn left a bit too early. Overall, a wonderful experience, very close to most of the Jacksonville Southside as well as Nocatee, Durbin Park, etc. We'll certainly be back. read more

My husband recently found this restaurant while looking for a good Pho place for his mother. I am really glad he did because it was great! The ambiance is also really nice. The menu offers about ten appetizers, ten rice bowls, ten Pho dishes, and a few other dishes. I opted for the sizzling platter. It came with beef tenderloin, onions, scallions and peppers in a garlic sauce, along with white rice and cucumbers and tomatoes. It looked and tasted great. My husband had the Zen fried rice bowl with pork. He also loved his dish. My mother-in-law had the first Pho bowl on the menu. She loved it. Service was fairly quick. I have a feeling we will be back. read more

Glad we got an actual good pho spot in St John's 210 area! Ordered the summer rolls with chicken and shrimp which were just as good as I've had at most pho spots. Tried their pho dac biet and was not disappointed. It only comes in one size which is large. The portions of meat were generous and the brisket was especially tender and delicious. It's a little pricier than the average pho joint but everything in this county is extra so I get it. Overall, had a nice meal. This may be my new go-to pho spot since it's literally eight minutes from the house. Great addition to the neighborhood. read more

What a great addition to our area! Always have loved Vietnamese Pho (pronounced "fa") but it was not easy to find in Northwest St John's County. That changed recently with Zen Pho and Noodles opening on CR2209. H enjoyed the fresh shrimp spring rolls and ribeye pho and ordered a side of veggies with it. They brewed a pot of fresh jasmine tea and we watched as many patrons came in to enjoy this tasty eatery. Sweet server and active management. We will be back! read more

Summer roll was amazing. We had traditional spicy beef noodles, grilled pork and chicken & shrimp summer rolls.

We have been eating pho for years. Moving here from TX we struggled to find a good place. After going to other places closest to our home we noticed this place opening near us. We are amazed at the options available to choose from! It's the first order and we are already making this our go to place! Definitely worth trying! Flavor is on point! We did takeout and the portions are perfect. We will be back soon! read more

What a disappointment! The reviews made it seem like this is the legit place to go for Pho. The place is easy to find, the restaurant itself is a good size, not overwhelmingly huge and not a small hole in the hole either. The service was good, our waiter was nice. But the food was downright terrible. I had the ribeye pho and added beef balls... The broth was so lackluster, not that rich beef broth that it should be at all. It was also not hot enough to cook the ribeye, which was nice and thinly sliced and tender but became chewy since it did not cook in the broth. The Krab wontons that we got as appetizers was also lacking. As if they just put a glob in the middle of the fried dough. My partners fried rice was sweet...??? Like I said, just disappointing altogether. read more

Went to their soft opening last night and the food was fantastic! The service was friendly and quick considering they are still prepping for a full opening. The food came out at a good time, not too fast not too slow. Speaking of food, AMAZING! The Pho Tai Nam was great l, the broth tasted exactly how I like it and it was a decent size for the price. I had the Pad Thai (only note is that I expected to be asked how spicy I want it, it had zero spice - next time I will ask for it to be spicy). Ambiance felt modern, like a hangout spot for younger crowd more than a date night or family dinner spot. But we did see some families & dates lol. It's a spacious place with bar seating too. We will be back soon!!! read more

Adobo, ramen, curry, ox tail pho... it's going to take me a few trips to indulge in this menu made just for me. First trip, so far, was pretty good... I hope the location isn't their downfall. We'll definitely be back for BOGO pho!! read more

We are very happy to have this restaurant open in St. John, very close to our home. We go there very often and have never been disappointed -- from the great food to the friendly service. The stone bowl pho is delicious, the summer rolls are so yummy, the service is friendly, and the food comes out fast even during busy hours. We will definitely come back and try other items on their menu. read more

The first time I tried this place everything was fine. Food came out quick and was very tasty. Fast forward a couple of months.... Showed up around 11:30 for lunch and I was the only person there. Ordered summer rolls for an appetizer and vermicelli Bun for the main. After 25 minutes of being ignored by my server, I finally was able to ask if my food was almost ready. 5 minutes later (30 minutes now) she brings out my order which was wrong. I now do not have time to wait for them to correct my order and eat lunch. I walked out the door probably never to return. They got two stars instead of one because the order that they screwed up actually looked decent. I will be shocked if this place stays in business. read more

I've had many different dishes from this place and all of them had incredible flavors and huge portions. The customer service was also amazing, they are considerate and fast. The restaurant's ambiance is so peaceful and pleasant. I recommend it to everyone! read more

Just found Zen Pho & Noodles and I'm honestly impressed. I'm from Southeast Asia, and the pho here really brings back that authentic flavor--it genuinely reminds me of home. I've tried both takeout and dining in, and while both are good, I definitely recommend eating there so you can enjoy the pho fresh and the full experience. The staff is also incredibly nice and welcoming. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Honestly the best pho I have had in a minute. Everything in it was delicious and the broth was to die for. Thanks for the meal :)

Went here for a friend's birthday dinner the other day and I can honestly say it was the worst bowl of ramen I've ever had. The worst part was the egg, I don't think it was marinated and it definitely wasn't soft boiled, just a hard boiled egg cut in half and chucked in. The noodles tasted off, and I don't mean in the usual way that ramen noodles stateside are mediocre, they were so bad I just didn't eat them. The broth was tolerable after a generous helping of chili oil but only because the spice covered up the taste. I think the worst part is that this awful experience was $19 which is actually insane. The only redeeming part of the meal was our server, she was lovely. Anyways I would not recommend this place to anyone but maybe their pho is way better than their ramen, I won't be finding out. read more

First time at this restaurant and the food was okay, but the service was good. We ordered the bang bang shrimp (which was fried panko shrimp with a side of the sauce, so definitely not the traditional style you'd expect) and the deluxe pho. As for the pho, the noodles were a little overcooked, the broth wasn't as flavorful, and the bean sprouts were soggy prior to even adding it into the broth, but the meat was good. The servers were really nice and kept checking in with us throughout our meal but overall the food and the prices don't compare to the mom and pop Viet restaurants in Jax. read more
