What diners say — our read

People either love this place or they do not, and the ratings show it. Opinion on service is split — those reviews land at 3.5 on average. After that, pacing appears most often — 21% of the corpus, averaging 3.2.

A third strand, freshness, appears in 17% of them at 5.0 stars. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (20 reviews). Newer reviews score better than older ones (5.0 recent against 4.5 earlier), so direction is worth weighing alongside the average.

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (97/100), 3 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. DBPR last walked in on February 2, 2026. The trend across inspections is improvement. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 72% of the restaurants we score. The citations behind that grade include nonfood-contact surfaces clean and floors, walls, ceilings clean & maintained.

Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. Read the originals below and judge the pattern yourself.

    the bo bun hue with shrimp meatballs is spectacular, and the kimchi spring rolls are very tasty and fresh. they come with a delicious and addictive sweet chili dipping sauce, which I really enjoyed despite generally disliking sweet-savory flavors.

    This restaurant is absolutely the best. I will never not recommend this place. I have been countless times and will always continue to come back. There are a lot of great Pho restaurants in Orlando but for some reason this is the one I always go back to. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s a must!

    First time eating here. YUM🤗 I had the Flank and Eye Round Noodle Bowl and the Summer Pork Egg Rolls w/Peanut sauce. So good!!! Tried something different for lunch with my love and it was definitely a delicious experience. Vi-thank you for your kindness💕

  • May 9, 2026

    One of my favorite places to go. The food is great! We get to try new things that we wouldn't normally have on our own menu. Everyone should try this place. We had the everything bowl. Delicious and filling.

    It's been 6 years since I have been out this way. I love the quail it was just as delicious as I remember. The pho was different put still good. My noodle s broke apart but it did sit at the table while I devoured the quail. All and all still as good as I remember it. A friend and I found the restaurant while running errands. I'm so happy we came here, the pho is perfect I got the Pho with the steak. This is now my #1 Pho restaurant! It's a must try. Friendly staff, clean dinning area and food came out fast and hot!!!

    Feels authentic. Pho was good

    The best chicken pho in Orlando. I am pregnant and suffer from severe nausea. Nothing has made my stomach feel better except for this delicious pho. The natural bone broth, herbs and spices they use for the soup, make it have a healing effect on my stomach. The chicken is very tender. They also package is very nicely for takeout/delivery orders.

    Just had dinner with my wife and son and the food was decent when it came time for the bill- they automatically add 18% to the bill! I questioned them and and they said all the restaurants were doing it. Also they said 18% is pretty low since others were charging 22%. This is not is the standard in dinning and we are not coming back because of this forced gratuity policy. Not a good place.

    Good food and fast serving. Service: waiter and the host could be friendlier and could show more welcoming and appreciative attitude toward patrons. Please improve that!

    First timer here, our Pho was not very good not typically the taste I’m use to from other places. So we made a complaint to our waiter who was very nice btw and he was able to get everything taken off for us. The manager cashed us out at the front and she was very rude. She threw my moms money at her and snatched my brothers phone from his hand for Apple Pay. I asked her what her name was after she took my money and she said “I’m on the phone right now” very rude and gave a lot of attitude. I’m sure if we were white she wouldn’t have treated us the way she did just because we complained. We all still paid for everything else that we bought

    Pho Hoa stands out as one of the premier Vietnamese dining establishments in Orlando, offering a genuine taste of Vietnam right in the heart of the city. The moment you step inside, you are enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere that transports you to the vibrant streets of Vietnam. Having visited Pho Hoa with my family for several years, I can confidently say that the culinary experience is consistently exceptional. The menu features a wide array of authentic dishes, each bursting with flavor and prepared with care. The staff is not only friendly but also attentive, ensuring that your dining experience is seamless and enjoyable. Dishes are served promptly, allowing you to savor the delightful flavors without a long wait. If you find yourself in Downtown Orlando, I wholeheartedly recommend making a stop at Pho Hoa. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience that captures the essence of Vietnamese cuisine. From the aromatic pho to the fresh spring rolls, every bite is a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality and authenticity. The vibrant decor and lively ambiance further enhance the experience, making it a perfect spot for both casual meals and special family gatherings. Whether you are a local or a visitor, Pho Hoa is a must-try destination that promises to satisfy your cravings for delicious Vietnamese food.

    Sooooooo delicious !

  • March 25, 2026

    This is a favorite Vietnamese restaurant of mine that I’ve been visiting for nearly 20 years. I think everything on the menu is delicious, but I especially recommend the Summer Roll Sampler.

  • March 13, 2026

    The best pho, summer rolls and rice combo in town.

  • March 5, 2026

    First time and the last time. Waited to be seated. Wasn't greeted at all. Then a family came in after me and was greeted and sat down before me. I walked out... that was the worst service 😒. I guess they dont like to serve people that dont look like them because what else could it be. Smh

  • March 2, 2026

    Food is always great here, been coming here for the last 10 years.

  • February 20, 2026
