City Pho & Grill - Lake Nona

Really nice food, nice location, modern ambience. Good service, good options, good veggie options. Vermicelli was really nice and the pho was awesome too. The “small” pho bowl was plenty. Enough parking especially if you go for dinner. Definitely recommended and my family will be going there again. Lots of other things to try out.

Sat in place of a reservation that cancelled. And I literally sat for over 20 minutes without anyone coming to welcome us or talking our drink order .. there was a large party seated before us were also ignored and they decided to leave. After 30 minutes a server came he didn’t greet us but asked for our order. Since we’ve waited so long we gave him our drinks, apps and main meal at the same time.. got our drinks in about 10 minutes. The tai tea was good could be a tad sweeter though. Daughter ordered dragonfruit green tea, it was sweet but just the right amount of sweetness. Over an hour later still no food…. Because it’s open kitchen we can see the cooks. I saw an older man south his hair net partially on and he licked his fingers to grab a liner for a meal he was plating. An hour a

Great addition to the Lake Nona restaurant scene. Pleasant dining interior, with a nice large format photo of a street in Saigon. The menu is wide with many options…Pho, Vermicelli dishes, Clay Pot items, appetizers and restaurant specialties. Service was quick and friendly. The Krab Rangoons were delicious. The Shrimp and Noodle Soup was large and flavorful. Everything was tasty and fresh. Nice to have another Pho restaurant in the area.

We arrived at the restaurant with an open mind for a simple lunch, although we had already planned to visit as soon as it opened. The experience was truly outstanding. The dishes were exquisite, the service was fast, efficient, and free of unnecessary formality, and the “boss” personally came out to greet us, which added a very welcoming touch. The atmosphere is perfectly complemented by smooth jazz music playing softly in the background, allowing for comfortable conversation and a relaxed dining experience. The kitchen is visible through a glass wall, which conveys transparency and confidence in cleanliness and preparation. I highly recommend this restaurant without hesitation, and we will certainly be returning regularly.

My wife (who is Vietnamese) and I have been eagerly waiting for the opening of City Pho, and it did not disappoint. We finally had a rare night out together and couldn’t think of a better place to spend it. This is currently the only truly authentic Vietnamese restaurant in the Lake Nona area, so our expectations were high, and City Pho absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. The restaurant has a beautiful Vietnamese-inspired design that feels modern but still authentic. The layout is thoughtful, inviting, and just really well done. We were seated quickly and greeted with water right away. The menu is extensive in the best way possible, so many great options that it’s genuinely hard to choose because everything looks amazing. For starters, we ordered the gy
