We had a great dinner, the staff was attentive and helpful!

After reading so many great reviews of this restaurants, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the food was undercooked, lacked of flavor and it's overpriced. I have no problems paying $$$$ for great food. Not sure if I'll return for a second chance.
(2)Gigi L.
Great food and service in a very small space in a strip center........don't let that discourage you. Great Pho for my entree, My wife had Buddha Delight a really good mix of veggies with crispy tofu in a sauce... very good, and my sister had #9 Udon noodles with shrimp. Every thing was to our liking including very good service.

I don't know how I feel about this place. It literally made me and my boyfriend feel sick to our stomachs. I had a regular pho and he had summer rolls and we both felt fine when we were having the meal. As soon as we left and went on with our day our stomachs felt like they were constantly being punched. Usually I don't blame the food if it's just me feeling this way but both of us had the same reaction. I don't know what they put in their food but we are not going back.
(2)Kevin N.
This place is amazing,the Pho broth is the best around for sure. Great customer service, very clean, and food is Delicious...
(5)Terri B.
This was my 1st experience at ipho, but it WILL NOT BE MY LAST! The food is fresh and flavorful, the staff is polite and friendly. I had an ipho bowl, they made a shrimp one special for me because I asked. I am so excited to have such a healthy choice in my own neighborhood! I ipho!
(5)Jessica V.
As someone who is fairly new to Vietnamese pho, I have to say that I am very impressed with this cozy little restaurant! The servers were very friendly and offered us samples on our first visit just to make sure we would like what we were about to order (since we didn't know absolutely anything about this cuisine!). The flank steak pho is AMAZING... The fried rice is also delicious.... Cant say enough good things! And if it wasn't enough, on Thursdays they have a 6 dollar "small" bowl special... I put it in quotes because the small is more than enough for any regular human-sized appetite. The husband and I will definitely be back :)
(5)Anne P.
Outstanding food and even better service! We had never ordered pho before & learned that it is pronounce FA. Even though she was just an employee, the young woman who served us took great interest in guiding us and literally clapped her hands when we said we loved our meal!! Kudos to ipho!!!
(5)Kim T.
We love this place! Very authentic Vietnamese food!! Great service the servers are so friendly!
(5)Ashley L.
Yep...just like my previous review said: I will be back here while on vacation. After waiting a whole year, A++ once again.
(5)David B.
Great summer rolls & peanut sauce. Pho is delicious & large. Price for the portions given mean you won't walk away hungry. Service is excellent & prompt.
(4)Karissa P.
Absolutely love this place! I love getting pho on 'thrifty Thursday's'. I have also tried their vegetarian stir fri and it was really good! One of my favorite spots to hit up when I am in the Lake Mary area!
(5)Ty K.
Everytime I come here I am greeted with friendly workers. I always start off with the pan fried Gyoza (pork dumplings) which always come out perfect. The pho is my dish of choice and it always comes out fresh and tasty. My fiancée orders the vermicelli (grilled chicken over rice) which she always enjoys. The lemonade is fresh and he atmosphere is cozy and quiet. I highly recommend this place!
(5)jason h.
Walk in 30 minutes prior to closing and they won't serve you. WTF! How about you update your hours or specify that the time is when you close the doors not stop taking new customers!?! Everyone hates the guy that walks in 2 minutes prior to closing and stays forever. But come on, be reasonable and serve up a bowl of pho! How hard is that??? Update: We visited iPho today after the owner Vivian contacted me regarding my less than stellar review. This turned out to be a great decision because the food was great! I'm glad we didn't let one lazy employee who wanted to go home early keep us from enjoying some good food. The place is on the smaller side but seating accommodations are good considering. I had BBQ pork summer rolls and a large eye round pho. The wifey had a combo vermicelli bowl. Both were very tasty. We were very impressed with the broad menu options and well as the service. Overall, we'll definitely be coming back and glad we gave iPho another look.
(5)Lyn D.
Amazing food! We are so happy we found a place for our pho craving! Boba shakes are great and the broth on their pho is always flavorful! My husband who doesn't really care for the Vietnamese restaurants in Orlando actually loves this place!
(5)Hannah C.
I drove 30 minutes for this place and it was definitely worth it. Most pho places I go to usually smell, but this place was really clean and the service was really good. The pho was awesome, big and cheap. Definitely recommend this place whether you are near or far.
(5)Rebecca V.
I wasn't blown away by the food, but it wasn't terrible either. We had the Banh Mi, Summer Rolls, and Buddha's Delight, none of which was memorable. The service was good overall; the prices were reasonable; and the location was convenient. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating, but the meal itself was rather bland. They had a decent selection, including good vegetarian options. We would not return except maybe to give the pho a shot if we were in the area anyway.
(3)Derek G.
In my opinion, this is the best Pho house north of Orlando. This is a tiny little place nex to my gym in Lake Mary. The food is awesome, the service is great. The only downside to this place is the size. It gets very tight, but when the weather is right, they offer outside seating. I usually get the Pho with Steak. It is such a hidden gem with great decor and great people. The prices are reasonable. Check it out!
(5)Crystal G.
Okay, I seriously love Vietnamese food and this is right down the road. Awesome spring rolls, pho ga is very good. Good prices, why would anyone go get fast food when you get great fresh food here? Love their iced coffee too!
(5)Susan R.
The food was really pretty good but every few minutes the male servers yell "in" when they are going through the kitchen door. This is not conducive for the restaurant environment and very annoying when you are trying to enjoy your dinner. Other than that everything is great - but it is loud and in a deep voice and not sure I will be back - maybe for takeout.
(3)Walter L.
This is a good spot for Vietnamese in Lake Mary. I live in the Mills 50 district downtown, where you can find better, cheaper, more authentic noodle houses every 50 feet it seems... but iPho does a good job at serving pho to the people of Lake Mary. I had udon noodles with beef last time and I liked it better than the pho I had the time before. Not the best ever but pretty good. Service could be improved. It's a sit-down restaurant and the servers are efficient, but they haven't exactly been personable or friendly. It's just kind of a strange vibe, service-wise. I think I'd like this place better as a counter service restaurant, like Tijuana Flats next door. Ya know, order at the counter, sit down and enjoy. I mean if the servers aren't going to smile and make you feel welcomed and do the whole 'hospitality' part of the job, let's just let people order at a counter and let the kitchen pound out dishes quickly and efficiently. Bottom line though... If you're looking for a quick Vietnamese food fix in Lake Mary, this place will do the job.
(3)Celine C.
I have eaten many phos before, but this restaurant just doesn't have the right rich soup taste. I ordered the bun rieu which is a pork, crab and shrimp paste in a tomato based broth. It sounds so scrumptious but when the order came, the soup base was so light that I couldn't really taste the tomato flavor. My husband ordered the regular pho with beef and he didn't think the pho soup base was good either. I think their broths need more seasoning or boil it a bit longer so the taste can be richer. The decor of the restaurant is very beautiful and modern. It also looks like a clean restaurant. The staffs were nice as well. No complaint there.
(3)Aranya M.
Come for the Thrifty Thursday $6 phó bowls. Small venue, but good menu. Good and hearty summer rolls. One of the few Vietnamese restaurants in Seminole County. This is a great choice when you have to look outside of Orlando.
(5)Rayni K.
Everything that I've had here has been on the edge of graduating from good to great. The broth of their pho could use a little more depth of flavor, the marinade for their grilled beef could be less sweet, etc. Does it compare to the Vietnamese restaurants in the Mills50 district? Not really, but it's good enough for when I have a craving at work. Service has been decent and of average pace. On occasion, the lunch rush do fill up the small restaurant, but for the most part, we've never had trouble finding a place to settle ourselves even when there were 6 or 7 of us. I would definitely recommend this place if you live or work in the area and don't feel like or cannot drive all the way down to the Mills50 district for more authentic Vietnamese food.
(4)Rod H.
Wow what a great lunch! I was fortunate to have my first visit on Thrifty Thursday where you can get a small, 1 meat, noodle bowl for $6. The broth was good and this little place was packed with regulars and several newbies that all left happy and full. I had the Vietnamese coffee that hit the spot. This was a cold day for Florida and the broth warmed me up and the steak was great.
(4)C. A. B.
I really liked this. I tried the chicken pho just to compare (and because I wanted some pho) and while it wasn't quite as rich as it might have been it was wonderfully flavorful with fresh vegetables and I suspect home-grown sprigs of mint. Big chunks of tender chicken, plenty for lunch tomorrow. My wife got a rice plate with chicken, which had a tasty sweet sauce on it that didn't really need anything else. Extra 2 bucks for brown rice instead of steamed but hey. She swiped some of my mint to add to her rice and decided that's how she going to make it from now on. The server was very friendly, more than willing to tell us anything we needed to know and she shared some of her experiences encountering American food that had us laughing. If I'm in the area again, this is where I'll be.
(4)Faith B.
Food is edible. Take out service not the best. Make sure u open and inspect your food before leaving you may not have everything you ordered.
(2)Anne P.
My husband is Vietnamese and we have had Vietnamese food all over the U.S. so we know the difference between good Viet food vs. Bad Viet food. IPho Noodle House is good. Rice dishes are good, pho good, and my personal favorite is the pad Thai. Even the egg rolls are good and made in house. The service has been fast and servers attentive. This is a great place for a fast lunch. I would recommend this restaurant for dinner too. Seems like whatever u order you can't go wrong.
(5)Longwood R.
As a regular at Bagel King (we drive miles to get them) we've been looking for an opportunity to try out iPho. I didn't realize Thursday was a special for the place but it was only moderately crowded when we arrived. No one acknowledged us, so we took a table and sat....and waited...and waited....and waited. The frustrating thing is that not one of the employees...despite walking past us at least 10 times would look us in the eye, smile, welcome us, mention that someone would be with us shortly. We finally went to the guy behind the counter...he barely looked up from the money he was counting...to get some menus. Then we waited....waited...waited....waited....and left. What a disappointment. Plenty of employees. Food was coming out of the kitchen. Just so weird that we weren't acknowledged. Then as we were leaving and I was looking at the faces of everyone else there, I could tell that they also were waiting for something...maybe the check, maybe a refill. Oh well...we'll try again on another night. ** June 15, 2015 Update ** Received an email from the owner apologizing for the incident. I appreciate that the time was taken to follow-up and to invite us back. We will try again another night. (Raised from 1 to 2 stars for the email).
(2)Sally D.
Great pho and hot pots at a very reasonable price. Small but comfortable and very fast service. Broth is a little sweet.
(4)Mike A.
3rd time hear and it's always great. Very casual laid back atmosphere great service and the food is always fresh.
(5)Ann I.
So excited about another Vietnamese restaurant popping up in my neck of the woods! I had to try immediately. To my great surprise their specialty is Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Beef Noodle Soup)! Husband and I ordered 2 bowls, it was delicious, very close to how I would make it at home. Very flavorful, price is super high though, $10 a bowl.. Will have to come back to try their other dishes. So far so good!
(4)Joshua A.
Flipping good. Sheesh. Exactly what I hoped it would be. Really fresh food. Really clean flavors. I had the vegetarian rice noodle soup. My wife had the Buddha something. Both solid. And we split calamari and tofu summer rolls beforehand. Love everything about this place.
(5)Shaina V.
Oh my oh me.. Where do I begin... My brother and I stopped in last week for lunch, excited at the prospect that a decent pho place finally opened up near our neighborhood. For years we have making the trek to downtown's Little Vietnam whenever our inevitable pho cravings strike (usually once a week). Considering the gushing reviews and attractive photos, I was very hopeful about this place. Initial impressions: Tiny, trendy, upscale. The dining room probably had 10 or so tables and there were 3 more outside. When brother and I arrived around 2:30PM, at least half of the tables in the dining room were occupied so we opted to sit outside where it was cool and quiet. The table we chose needed to be cleared and I noticed that there was a bowl of pho still half full with broth on the table (not a good sign). Our server, Bridgette, was very sweet and a little green. I think she got confused when my brother and I started ordering in Vietnamese but she played it off well. She also pronounced PHO like FAUX but I saw no need to correct her due to the hilarity of it. Let's just say it all went down hill from there. A list of the pho-pas (see what I did there?): 1. We ordered summer rolls but we were given fish sauce for dipping instead of the peanut sauce. I also found the peanut sauce tasted too much like peanut butter so I had to add a squirt of hoison to make it sweeter. 2. My brother's Thai Iced Tea came out in a cracked glass and the split slowly grew once it got to our table. I really wanted to catch the explosion on video but Bridgette noticed both of us staring intently at the beverage and scurried it away swiftly. 3. I ordered Pho Tai (eye round steak) with no onions or scallions, in a regular size bowl. My brother ordered Pho Ga (chicken) with all the fixings in an extra large bowl. Somehow our orders got mixed up. My pho tai came out in an extra large bowl with scallions and onions. My brother's pho ga came out in a small bowl with no onions or scallions. Bridgette blamed the kitchen, but I had another theory. 4. The broth was bland. After removing all of the scallions and onions from my bowl, I added the usual proportions of hoison, sriracha, and lime. Much to my dismay all of these flavors overwhelmed the pho and I couldn't taste the broth. The only flavors that seemed to stand out were the cloves and star anise. If I had to give them some advice, it would be to add less cloves and more marrow bones. 5. Just like the person before me, I left the bowl half full with broth because it wasn't worth the stomach space. When Bridgette came to clear the table, she stacked the bowls in an effort to save a trip. Unfortunately this resulted in a huge amount of pho being spilled onto my brother's lap (thank goodness it wasn't hot anymore) and he was not amused. We could see that Bridgette felt horrible about it so we decided not to make a fuss. Maybe I have high expectations when it comes to pho but ultimately this place failed to satisfy me. If I come back at all, it won't be for pho. I dislike the prices but I understand they are high because of the surrounding area. The restaurant itself is very stylish and clean (which is good considering it just opened) but the positives stop there. I'd rather go downtown for some authentic pho that's $2 cheaper. I'm giving it one more star than it deserves because I know the Lake Mary folk will like this place. Pho is a risky business and the owners are brave for taking it out of Downtown's Little Vietnam. I have no doubt they will be successful in this location. My review in the format of a short poem: 'Tis a shame, iPho is such a clever name. If only the broth were worth returning, then my wallet would really be hurting.
(3)Anibal O.
Food is very good, staff is nice. What kills this place is location and price. I can get the same plate or bowl of pho in Orlando and in Sanford for a few bucks cheaper. The place is to small and not practical to set and enjoy a conversation since the seats are on top of each other and the door opens and closes so much and it's noisy. To me it feels like ur rushing to eat just to get out of the crampness.. Been their four times and even when it's not full it's cramped.. If they choose a better location and played with the prices a bit I'm sure the ratings would go up...
(3)Maddy B.
Awesome pho.. love there thirfty Thursday deal..;)reasonable prices. Simple decor. Friendly staff.
(4)Loren F.
It's really nice not having to make the drive down to Orlando for exceptional and authentic Vietnamese food. The Vegetarian Noodle Soup is delicious and I think what really sets it apart is the broth. Some Pho places are hit or miss when it comes to broth, but iPho is consistently good, every time. Service is a delight whether eating in or taking out...and fast!
(5)Pranit P.
The servers here are very attentive. It is a small place and they only had 2 servers (makes sense), so be patient with them and they'll deliver great food with a smile.
(4)Katherine N.
The restaurant is a small modern spot to eat when you don't have time or are too hungry to drive down to the Mills 50 area. The food served here consists of the most popular dishes of Vietnamese cuisine, but isn't the best of the best. Their sauces seem to come from out of a bottle and straight onto a dish for you; their soup broths were flavorless; and the dishes themselves are overpriced. For instance, they will charge extra for every item placed into the pho. The service was only ok. The young new waitress was fine and helpful. However, the person in charge of the front was more stand-off-ish than anything else. She also argued a little with me when I reported how I was served a dish different from what I ordered. They brought me a goi cuon with shrimp when I ordered shredded pork. The lady insisted that I ordered shrimp when I know for a fact that I didn't because I'm allergic!!! All in all, I won't be coming back here. Even if I'm starving, I'll wait and make the drive down to Mills 50 for better service, prices and food in general!
(2)Victoria A.
I'm a big fan of pho....however I was not impressed with the pho here. I've eated here on two occasions. The beef pho was lacking quantity of beef. The broth is just flat and bland. It lacked depth and flavors as a typical pho broth should have. I won't spend my money here anymore. Not worth it.
(2)Maryam B.
The food is ok. I don't care for the pho much, but we got my daughter a veggie fried rice that was good. Service is supppper slow.
(3)Danielle W.
My boyfriend and I tried this out and loved it. Adam has eaten a lot of home made pho in the past so had certain off menu requests that they were happy to oblige. Loved it.
(4)Kenneth J.
This cozy, clean, welcoming Vietnamese restaurant took me by surprise! An authentic Vietnamese place, not located in Orlando's "Little Vietnam" Colonialtown, that served tasty, freshly prepared dishes was a welcomed relief to the usual chain restaurants on Lake Mary Blvd. The staff are quite friendly, and the dishes, from the shrimp and chicken clay pot, to the fried pork, and even the fried rice, were delicious. The service was fast, and the price perfect! Will definitely return for my Vietnamese food fix!
(4)Ginessa M.
My husband and our toddler and I have been here twice. Both times were great! The lady that served us (same woman both times) was extremely helpful, fast, and very nice. She remembered us after our first visit! We've tried the summer rolls, (which were great!), a clay pot, vermicelli beef dish, and pho. All were great! The Pho is so huge and delicious. My first time there I tried the pad thai and it was pretty good too. The coconut shake w/ boba is INSANELY good; The vietnamese coffee is addictive. Its going to be hard to try new things here b/c everything has been so good! Glad to have them in town!
(5)Ruth F.
My husband and I have eaten here four times and have tried something different on the menu each time. We have liked everything that we have ordered. My favorite is the chicken and shrimp clay pot. The restaurant is small and can be crowded during the lunch hour. It's a shame that they don't have room for a few more tables inside.
(4)Mia P.
So excited to try iPho Noodle House in Lake Mary. It's great that there is an influx of new Vietnamese restaurants in Lake Mary/Sanford area. iPho Noodle House is located in a busy strip mall, and it's a little place with only about nine tables. The summer rolls we ordered were packed with shrimp and pork, super fresh and delicious. I had the a rice vermicelli bowl with spring rolls, pork, and shrimp. Loved that it was overflowing with carrot slices, bean spouts, and lettuce too. It seemed so fresh almost like a salad...but with lots of meat and noodles. Interesting menu concept where for each additional meat/protein you add to a dish it pretty much increases the price by about $1. So for a couple of extra bucks you can have a larger selection of different meats in your entree. The menu had lots of great choices with Phó and different vegetarian options as well. The service was fast and very attentive. Will definitely come back to try more exotic menu options next time, like the hot pot for two, or the spicy beef & pork soup.
(4)Ashley A.
Bland food and beyond terrible service. After a terrible dinner with terrible service, they charged my debit card for 2 different meals. 1 of those meals will continue to be pending and holding funds on my bank account for 3 days. The manager never came to apologize but instead sat at the table next to us and ate. We will definitely not ever be back.
(1)Anthony M.
Fantastic pho, great weekday specials, a very friendly staff, and a simple yet thorough menu. Very small dining area, about the size of a Subway or smaller.
(4)Sasha K.
Awesome service, great for Lake Mary! I can't really complain about the pho, it's tastes great (if you want something better you have to go to Mills). For Lake Mary this is definitely a 5 star place, due to the speedy service, lack of other restaurants in the area, and good quality food. Their supreme Bahn Mih is delicious.
(5)Jose M.
2nd time there in one week and it's still a Pretty awesome touch of Vietnamese food. The service is warm and kind but fairly slow even during non-peak hours. The flavors are full and delicious in regards to the vermicelli dishes I had. I would gladly recommend this to anyone looking for a bite to eat in Lake Mary. Seating outside can be pleasant on a wonderful day but cramped and may not be for everyone. Give it a try and enjoy it for sure.
(4)Richard W.
Don't let the "Opening Soon" sign fool you, this place is definitely open and kicking out delicious eats. I dropped in for lunch today with some coworkers after walking past here on a previous lunch outing and I was glad I did. It's a fairly small restaurant, but right from the door we were greeted by friendly staff (I believe it was the owner who sat us) and had all of our questions answered about the menu. I had the Spicy Beef and Pork specialty soup and it was delicious. It wasn't overly spicy... just enough heat to make you go "ooh, why that's nice!" Don't let the beef tendon put you off either. It was the first time I had ever tried it and it was very, very good. Definitely try the summer rolls as well; they're fairly large and the best I've had in a while. It's gotta be the fresh mint. I also had the Vietnamese Iced Coffee which was strong, but very good. Prices are very fair and portions are generous. I'm a 6'3 big fella and I couldn't finish half of my bowl. I'm excited for lunch tomorrow, as I'll be finishing off my leftovers. I'll definitely hit this place up again to try out more of the menu. The coworkers that joined me had the Deluxe Specialty soup and the Chicken Pho and were both raving about the taste.
(5)Scott B.
The pho (what I had) was decent with the skirt steak but the meat in my girlfriends spicy pork and beef was not good. It looked like the end of a hot dog. Service was great. I might give them another try.
(3)Helena L.
Went back yesterday to give their Pho another chance....so glad I did! I had the Chicken Pho and it was delicious. Had the depth that was previously missing. Also tried their Chicken Pad Thai and fried veggie spring rolls and both were delicious!
(5)Dave M.
Excellent Spicy beef and pork soup. Bridgette great server. Summer roll are very good. Very nice decor. Only place on Lake Mary to get Bun or pho soup.
(5)Becky B.
The pho is delicious and I could not stop eating even when I was full. Gyoza was overdone but still good flavor. The only real downer for me was that they don't serve beer. But it was great, fast service!
(4)Disha S.
Absolutely loved the vegetable spring rolls. But I noticed the sauce used for the edamame was the same sauce for the spring rolls, but that sauce was really good. My sister ordered the vegetable soup which was very impressive. It had so much vegetables and it was in a large bowl. I got the chicken pho and even though it was good I've had better broth. The server was very sweet and very attentive.
(4)Karen P.
Consistent quality and friendly service. The curry chicken clay pot is awesome...and they have great (vermicelli) buns!
(5)Aubrey S.
We had our first meal at Ipho today for lunch. Previous local Vietnamese meals were had course at some of the fine establishments on Hwy 50, Little Saigon. Honestly, Ipho was is good as any of those. Their Steak Pho was excellent. Its broth was outstanding with a large amount of thinly sliced tender steak. We opted to large the serving for a buck and it was well worth it. Adding the traditional side accompaniments furthered its authenticity. The Chicken Pad Thai was delicious. Its chicken was plentiful and perfectly cooked. The Summer rolls with their own peanut sauce were delectable. The service was very courteous, prompt and helpful. The restaurant is quaint, clean and obviously proud of its offerings. There seems to be self appointed Pho snobs who in their own minds find themselves arrogantly above all others with their superior knowledge of ordering in Vietnamese and criticizing the pronunciation of "Pho" for their own petty amusement. And use that snobbery to set up a negative review of this restaurant. Frankly it is those reviews, for me, that are tossed and discounted in the overall rating. Ipho is highly recommended. It is well worth it. We will return.
(5)Rebecca A.
My favorite place for Vietnamese coffee! We eat here at least once a week. The taro shake is a must! Their food has amazing flavor.
(5)Dexter M.
All the food that we ordered from bon bo hue, rice platters, clay pot to beef stew were all excellent. Prices was just right.
(5)Robert S.
This is my favorite place for Vietnamese outside of Orlando. Bambu in Sanford is not very good, so when I want pho or bun close to me, this is the place I go. Very affordable, portions are sizable, and the food is delicious.
(4)Gabriel Z.
I had the shrimp pad thai and it was the best noodle dish i have had in my entire life! It was sweet and creamy and so rich in flavor. I also had the soursop boba tea and it is good! Overall, great place and I will definitely be coming back!
(5)Mary S.
I've eaten here twice so far & have ordered the same thing both times: Summer Rolls & Chicken Pho. Their summer rolls may be the best I have ever tasted; packed very tightly & generous with the filling. The peanut sauce is very good & not overly sweet like at some places. Both the chicken in the pho & in the summer roll was very fresh tasting. The service on both visits was excellent! Very small, intimate restaurant with a few tables outdoors with a view of the parking lot. I will be back again & again!
(4)Michele E.
Great small place for Vietnamese food. Everything we've tried is delicious. Super service.
(5)Vinnie V.
Best pho I have had in a long time. If you like pho, def give this place a try. Small dining area but very nice.
(5)Ashley S.
Yum yum yum !!! Great food I am a hair dresser at The Permanent Solution down the street and I will be back !!! The spring rolls were amazing and service was great !!
(5)Jordan K.
This is the only place to get Pho on the north side of Orlando and it's pleasantly nice. Small friendly place with great staff. Pho is nice clean flavor with plenty of meat. The egg rolls and bun are also very good. The only negative is that it's on the pricey side. I still like going downtown for Pho but since it's nice and close it's hard to beat.
(4)Jeff C.
I forgot to mention it's a bit expensive in my opinion. The other one on 46, same quality food, cheaper prices.
(4)Jennifer W.
The flavor of the pho soup is one of the best around. My 4 year old can put away a plate of grill pork chop and shrimp by himself. My husband loves the curry chicken hot pot, and has gotten it every time. Although the dish was a little different each time, but always tasty. I did try their spicy beef noodle soup once, it was a bit too beefy/gaming for me, but that may be what it is suppose to be. Lastly, the staff is always nice. Great addition to the neighborhood.
(4)Heo P.
The restaurant is very good,good services and Tommy is a great waiter, he does what he is supposed to do, the pho was cook awesomely, the food was good the cooker cook it very nicely , it was great I would recommended to everyone to go there, I would totally and totally came there go eat again! jiang!!! (awesome)
(5)Nick L.
A nice little noodle house in the Lake Mary area, I tried the pho ga (chicken) in the large portion. The large was a huge bowl of pho, much more than I can finish in one sitting, the broth was flavorful and it came with all the condiments I would expect. Overall I really enjoyed it, nothing like a hot bowl of pho on a gray rainy day like today was. The three others I dined with all had different dishes, all of them looked very appetizing and everyone left happy. For Lake Mary this place is really good although not quite as good or authentic as a few of my favorites in the Mills/Colonial area of Orlando but I am really happy there is a place like this in my immediate area now. The service was warm, welcoming and attentive. Best wishes to them, keep up the good work.

Started with the best summer rolls I've ever had and then the Pho with meat balls and steak. It was Great!! Tommy my waiter was awesome and the staff was very friendly. This is real deal in Vietnamese food and I can't wait to come back so I can try other dishes.

I've only had pad thai twice. The first time I tasted a friend's and loved it, second time I got some from Pei Wei that was disgusting. Soo I had kinda been wanting it but at the same time scared to try it and end up with something hideous lol. I saw a friend on fb raving about this place and she posted pics of her pad thai. I had to have it. 2 days later I made it to the restaurant. Around 9:30pm with a closing time of 10 people were still picking up to go orders and the dining area was about half full. The lady taking my order waa nice enough, I asked what one of the other diners was eating and she pointed it out on the menu. I ended up getting the summer rolls($4) and shrimp pad thai(10.95). The summer rolls were ok, it came with 2 in a box and some sort of vingar yellow like dipping sauce. The pad thai. DELICIOUS. It's exactly like what I had tasted months ago when I tasted my friends. It came in a standard size white to go box with hot sauce and siracha in 2 separate containers. A very large portion it contained carrots, noodles, chicken (tons) and shrimp (measly 5 medium to large shrimp). I didnt see any obvious peanuts which I thought was in pad thai bu it could've been there. My only complaints are about pricing and the fact they gave my 5 shrimp in my shrimp pad thai.

I just came across this tiny restaurant yesterday. Closest Pho restaurant to us. Tiny and trendy, menu still limited. Was expecting more Pho options. My daughter order Pho-Beef, she liked it but too many onions. I ordered Noodles with Pork - although tasty - pork was very salty and burnt to the crunchy state. My husband order Noodles with Shrimp and Beef - and he said was OK. I guess the restaurant is new and may need to work a few kinks. From our end, may not be bad for a quick Pho-fix, but we prefer to make a trip to downtown if time permits.

Eh I would of rather spent the gas and drove down to mills ave for Pho 88 but I wanted to give this place a try since it's a little bit closer to me. I got the bun bo hue and it wasn't as good as I would it would be. It didn't have much flavor as I wanted so I asked if there were spices that I could add to enhance the flavor to it but it just went downhill from there.. The only reason why I gave it two stars was because the waiter was nice and it was pretty inside. There's this one down on 434 called To Duc Pho that I want to try since my friends went there and they had great things to say about it! Maybe that one will be better so I wouldn't have to drive as far to get good vietnamese food!

Not sure how some reviewers claim the pho is "bland". I've been trecking down to Orlando for 10 years from Sanford for my pho fix, so I've got a pretty cultivated taste for pho. In my humble opinion, I would say the pho here is every bit as good as any of the downtown restaurants. In fact, the broth *isn't* overly spicy which is very similar to the downtown establishments that do North Vietnamese style (this is, I believe, more Southern). In any case, the soup is flavorful, fresh, and very tasty - it's the real deal. In fact, I seem to get much less "MSG" effects from this pho than the others. On a separate note, my partner - who is very hard to please being a gourmet cook - absolutely loved the curry that was served here - said it was the best she ever had. I will be coming back and so delighted I don't have to drive 20 miles now to do so!

Awesome service, great for Lake Mary! I can't really complain about the pho, it's tastes great (if you want something better you have to go to Mills). For Lake Mary this is definitely a 5 star place, due to the speedy service, lack of other restaurants in the area, and good quality food. Their supreme Bahn Mih is delicious.

Don't let the "Opening Soon" sign fool you, this place is definitely open and kicking out delicious eats. I dropped in for lunch today with some coworkers after walking past here on a previous lunch outing and I was glad I did. It's a fairly small restaurant, but right from the door we were greeted by friendly staff (I believe it was the owner who sat us) and had all of our questions answered about the menu. I had the Spicy Beef and Pork specialty soup and it was delicious. It wasn't overly spicy... just enough heat to make you go "ooh, why that's nice!" Don't let the beef tendon put you off either. It was the first time I had ever tried it and it was very, very good. Definitely try the summer rolls as well; they're fairly large and the best I've had in a while. It's gotta be the fresh mint. I also had the Vietnamese Iced Coffee which was strong, but very good. Prices are very fair and portions are generous. I'm a 6'3 big fella and I couldn't finish half of my bowl. I'm excited for lunch tomorrow, as I'll be finishing off my leftovers. I'll definitely hit this place up again to try out more of the menu. The coworkers that joined me had the Deluxe Specialty soup and the Chicken Pho and were both raving about the taste.
(5)Scott B.
The pho (what I had) was decent with the skirt steak but the meat in my girlfriends spicy pork and beef was not good. It looked like the end of a hot dog. Service was great. I might give them another try.
(3)Helena L.
Went back yesterday to give their Pho another chance....so glad I did! I had the Chicken Pho and it was delicious. Had the depth that was previously missing. Also tried their Chicken Pad Thai and fried veggie spring rolls and both were delicious!
(5)Dave M.
Excellent Spicy beef and pork soup. Bridgette great server. Summer roll are very good. Very nice decor. Only place on Lake Mary to get Bun or pho soup.
(5)Mia P.
So excited to try iPho Noodle House in Lake Mary. It's great that there is an influx of new Vietnamese restaurants in Lake Mary/Sanford area. iPho Noodle House is located in a busy strip mall, and it's a little place with only about nine tables. The summer rolls we ordered were packed with shrimp and pork, super fresh and delicious. I had the a rice vermicelli bowl with spring rolls, pork, and shrimp. Loved that it was overflowing with carrot slices, bean spouts, and lettuce too. It seemed so fresh almost like a salad...but with lots of meat and noodles. Interesting menu concept where for each additional meat/protein you add to a dish it pretty much increases the price by about $1. So for a couple of extra bucks you can have a larger selection of different meats in your entree. The menu had lots of great choices with Phó and different vegetarian options as well. The service was fast and very attentive. Will definitely come back to try more exotic menu options next time, like the hot pot for two, or the spicy beef & pork soup.
(4)Ashley A.
Bland food and beyond terrible service. After a terrible dinner with terrible service, they charged my debit card for 2 different meals. 1 of those meals will continue to be pending and holding funds on my bank account for 3 days. The manager never came to apologize but instead sat at the table next to us and ate. We will definitely not ever be back.
(1)Mary S.
I've eaten here twice so far & have ordered the same thing both times: Summer Rolls & Chicken Pho. Their summer rolls may be the best I have ever tasted; packed very tightly & generous with the filling. The peanut sauce is very good & not overly sweet like at some places. Both the chicken in the pho & in the summer roll was very fresh tasting. The service on both visits was excellent! Very small, intimate restaurant with a few tables outdoors with a view of the parking lot. I will be back again & again!
(4)Michele E.
Great small place for Vietnamese food. Everything we've tried is delicious. Super service.
(5)Vinnie V.
Best pho I have had in a long time. If you like pho, def give this place a try. Small dining area but very nice.
(5)Gabriel Z.
I had the shrimp pad thai and it was the best noodle dish i have had in my entire life! It was sweet and creamy and so rich in flavor. I also had the soursop boba tea and it is good! Overall, great place and I will definitely be coming back!
(5)Ashley S.
Yum yum yum !!! Great food I am a hair dresser at The Permanent Solution down the street and I will be back !!! The spring rolls were amazing and service was great !!
(5)Becky B.
The pho is delicious and I could not stop eating even when I was full. Gyoza was overdone but still good flavor. The only real downer for me was that they don't serve beer. But it was great, fast service!
(4)Disha S.
Absolutely loved the vegetable spring rolls. But I noticed the sauce used for the edamame was the same sauce for the spring rolls, but that sauce was really good. My sister ordered the vegetable soup which was very impressive. It had so much vegetables and it was in a large bowl. I got the chicken pho and even though it was good I've had better broth. The server was very sweet and very attentive.
(4)Karen P.
Consistent quality and friendly service. The curry chicken clay pot is awesome...and they have great (vermicelli) buns!
(5)Jordan K.
This is the only place to get Pho on the north side of Orlando and it's pleasantly nice. Small friendly place with great staff. Pho is nice clean flavor with plenty of meat. The egg rolls and bun are also very good. The only negative is that it's on the pricey side. I still like going downtown for Pho but since it's nice and close it's hard to beat.
(4)Ty K.
Everytime I come here I am greeted with friendly workers. I always start off with the pan fried Gyoza (pork dumplings) which always come out perfect. The pho is my dish of choice and it always comes out fresh and tasty. My fiancée orders the vermicelli (grilled chicken over rice) which she always enjoys. The lemonade is fresh and he atmosphere is cozy and quiet. I highly recommend this place!
(5)Crystal G.
Okay, I seriously love Vietnamese food and this is right down the road. Awesome spring rolls, pho ga is very good. Good prices, why would anyone go get fast food when you get great fresh food here? Love their iced coffee too!
(5)Susan R.
The food was really pretty good but every few minutes the male servers yell "in" when they are going through the kitchen door. This is not conducive for the restaurant environment and very annoying when you are trying to enjoy your dinner. Other than that everything is great - but it is loud and in a deep voice and not sure I will be back - maybe for takeout.
(3)Karissa P.
Absolutely love this place! I love getting pho on 'thrifty Thursday's'. I have also tried their vegetarian stir fri and it was really good! One of my favorite spots to hit up when I am in the Lake Mary area!
(5)Hannah C.
I drove 30 minutes for this place and it was definitely worth it. Most pho places I go to usually smell, but this place was really clean and the service was really good. The pho was awesome, big and cheap. Definitely recommend this place whether you are near or far.
(5)Rebecca V.
I wasn't blown away by the food, but it wasn't terrible either. We had the Banh Mi, Summer Rolls, and Buddha's Delight, none of which was memorable. The service was good overall; the prices were reasonable; and the location was convenient. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating, but the meal itself was rather bland. They had a decent selection, including good vegetarian options. We would not return except maybe to give the pho a shot if we were in the area anyway.
(3)Derek G.
In my opinion, this is the best Pho house north of Orlando. This is a tiny little place nex to my gym in Lake Mary. The food is awesome, the service is great. The only downside to this place is the size. It gets very tight, but when the weather is right, they offer outside seating. I usually get the Pho with Steak. It is such a hidden gem with great decor and great people. The prices are reasonable. Check it out!
(5)Mike M.
We had a great dinner, the staff was attentive and helpful!
(5)Ashley L.
Yep...just like my previous review said: I will be back here while on vacation. After waiting a whole year, A++ once again.
(5)David B.
Great summer rolls & peanut sauce. Pho is delicious & large. Price for the portions given mean you won't walk away hungry. Service is excellent & prompt.
(4)jason h.
Walk in 30 minutes prior to closing and they won't serve you. WTF! How about you update your hours or specify that the time is when you close the doors not stop taking new customers!?! Everyone hates the guy that walks in 2 minutes prior to closing and stays forever. But come on, be reasonable and serve up a bowl of pho! How hard is that??? Update: We visited iPho today after the owner Vivian contacted me regarding my less than stellar review. This turned out to be a great decision because the food was great! I'm glad we didn't let one lazy employee who wanted to go home early keep us from enjoying some good food. The place is on the smaller side but seating accommodations are good considering. I had BBQ pork summer rolls and a large eye round pho. The wifey had a combo vermicelli bowl. Both were very tasty. We were very impressed with the broad menu options and well as the service. Overall, we'll definitely be coming back and glad we gave iPho another look.
(5)Lyn D.
Amazing food! We are so happy we found a place for our pho craving! Boba shakes are great and the broth on their pho is always flavorful! My husband who doesn't really care for the Vietnamese restaurants in Orlando actually loves this place!
(5)Walter L.
This is a good spot for Vietnamese in Lake Mary. I live in the Mills 50 district downtown, where you can find better, cheaper, more authentic noodle houses every 50 feet it seems... but iPho does a good job at serving pho to the people of Lake Mary. I had udon noodles with beef last time and I liked it better than the pho I had the time before. Not the best ever but pretty good. Service could be improved. It's a sit-down restaurant and the servers are efficient, but they haven't exactly been personable or friendly. It's just kind of a strange vibe, service-wise. I think I'd like this place better as a counter service restaurant, like Tijuana Flats next door. Ya know, order at the counter, sit down and enjoy. I mean if the servers aren't going to smile and make you feel welcomed and do the whole 'hospitality' part of the job, let's just let people order at a counter and let the kitchen pound out dishes quickly and efficiently. Bottom line though... If you're looking for a quick Vietnamese food fix in Lake Mary, this place will do the job.
(3)Celine C.
I have eaten many phos before, but this restaurant just doesn't have the right rich soup taste. I ordered the bun rieu which is a pork, crab and shrimp paste in a tomato based broth. It sounds so scrumptious but when the order came, the soup base was so light that I couldn't really taste the tomato flavor. My husband ordered the regular pho with beef and he didn't think the pho soup base was good either. I think their broths need more seasoning or boil it a bit longer so the taste can be richer. The decor of the restaurant is very beautiful and modern. It also looks like a clean restaurant. The staffs were nice as well. No complaint there.
(3)Aranya M.
Come for the Thrifty Thursday $6 phó bowls. Small venue, but good menu. Good and hearty summer rolls. One of the few Vietnamese restaurants in Seminole County. This is a great choice when you have to look outside of Orlando.
(5)Rayni K.
Everything that I've had here has been on the edge of graduating from good to great. The broth of their pho could use a little more depth of flavor, the marinade for their grilled beef could be less sweet, etc. Does it compare to the Vietnamese restaurants in the Mills50 district? Not really, but it's good enough for when I have a craving at work. Service has been decent and of average pace. On occasion, the lunch rush do fill up the small restaurant, but for the most part, we've never had trouble finding a place to settle ourselves even when there were 6 or 7 of us. I would definitely recommend this place if you live or work in the area and don't feel like or cannot drive all the way down to the Mills50 district for more authentic Vietnamese food.
(4)Sally D.
Great pho and hot pots at a very reasonable price. Small but comfortable and very fast service. Broth is a little sweet.
(4)Mike A.
3rd time hear and it's always great. Very casual laid back atmosphere great service and the food is always fresh.
(5)C. A. B.
I really liked this. I tried the chicken pho just to compare (and because I wanted some pho) and while it wasn't quite as rich as it might have been it was wonderfully flavorful with fresh vegetables and I suspect home-grown sprigs of mint. Big chunks of tender chicken, plenty for lunch tomorrow. My wife got a rice plate with chicken, which had a tasty sweet sauce on it that didn't really need anything else. Extra 2 bucks for brown rice instead of steamed but hey. She swiped some of my mint to add to her rice and decided that's how she going to make it from now on. The server was very friendly, more than willing to tell us anything we needed to know and she shared some of her experiences encountering American food that had us laughing. If I'm in the area again, this is where I'll be.
(4)Faith B.
Food is edible. Take out service not the best. Make sure u open and inspect your food before leaving you may not have everything you ordered.
(2)Anne P.
My husband is Vietnamese and we have had Vietnamese food all over the U.S. so we know the difference between good Viet food vs. Bad Viet food. IPho Noodle House is good. Rice dishes are good, pho good, and my personal favorite is the pad Thai. Even the egg rolls are good and made in house. The service has been fast and servers attentive. This is a great place for a fast lunch. I would recommend this restaurant for dinner too. Seems like whatever u order you can't go wrong.
(5)Kevin N.
This place is amazing,the Pho broth is the best around for sure. Great customer service, very clean, and food is Delicious...
(5)Terri B.
This was my 1st experience at ipho, but it WILL NOT BE MY LAST! The food is fresh and flavorful, the staff is polite and friendly. I had an ipho bowl, they made a shrimp one special for me because I asked. I am so excited to have such a healthy choice in my own neighborhood! I ipho!
(5)Longwood R.
As a regular at Bagel King (we drive miles to get them) we've been looking for an opportunity to try out iPho. I didn't realize Thursday was a special for the place but it was only moderately crowded when we arrived. No one acknowledged us, so we took a table and sat....and waited...and waited....and waited. The frustrating thing is that not one of the employees...despite walking past us at least 10 times would look us in the eye, smile, welcome us, mention that someone would be with us shortly. We finally went to the guy behind the counter...he barely looked up from the money he was counting...to get some menus. Then we waited....waited...waited....waited....and left. What a disappointment. Plenty of employees. Food was coming out of the kitchen. Just so weird that we weren't acknowledged. Then as we were leaving and I was looking at the faces of everyone else there, I could tell that they also were waiting for something...maybe the check, maybe a refill. Oh well...we'll try again on another night. ** June 15, 2015 Update ** Received an email from the owner apologizing for the incident. I appreciate that the time was taken to follow-up and to invite us back. We will try again another night. (Raised from 1 to 2 stars for the email).
(2)Albert P.
After reading so many great reviews of this restaurants, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the food was undercooked, lacked of flavor and it's overpriced. I have no problems paying $$$$ for great food. Not sure if I'll return for a second chance.
(2)Rod H.
Wow what a great lunch! I was fortunate to have my first visit on Thrifty Thursday where you can get a small, 1 meat, noodle bowl for $6. The broth was good and this little place was packed with regulars and several newbies that all left happy and full. I had the Vietnamese coffee that hit the spot. This was a cold day for Florida and the broth warmed me up and the steak was great.
(4)Gigi L.
Great food and service in a very small space in a strip center........don't let that discourage you. Great Pho for my entree, My wife had Buddha Delight a really good mix of veggies with crispy tofu in a sauce... very good, and my sister had #9 Udon noodles with shrimp. Every thing was to our liking including very good service.
(4)Jullie C.
I don't know how I feel about this place. It literally made me and my boyfriend feel sick to our stomachs. I had a regular pho and he had summer rolls and we both felt fine when we were having the meal. As soon as we left and went on with our day our stomachs felt like they were constantly being punched. Usually I don't blame the food if it's just me feeling this way but both of us had the same reaction. I don't know what they put in their food but we are not going back.
(2)Jessica V.
As someone who is fairly new to Vietnamese pho, I have to say that I am very impressed with this cozy little restaurant! The servers were very friendly and offered us samples on our first visit just to make sure we would like what we were about to order (since we didn't know absolutely anything about this cuisine!). The flank steak pho is AMAZING... The fried rice is also delicious.... Cant say enough good things! And if it wasn't enough, on Thursdays they have a 6 dollar "small" bowl special... I put it in quotes because the small is more than enough for any regular human-sized appetite. The husband and I will definitely be back :)
(5)Anne P.
Outstanding food and even better service! We had never ordered pho before & learned that it is pronounce FA. Even though she was just an employee, the young woman who served us took great interest in guiding us and literally clapped her hands when we said we loved our meal!! Kudos to ipho!!!
(5)Kim T.
We love this place! Very authentic Vietnamese food!! Great service the servers are so friendly!
(5)Ann I.
So excited about another Vietnamese restaurant popping up in my neck of the woods! I had to try immediately. To my great surprise their specialty is Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Beef Noodle Soup)! Husband and I ordered 2 bowls, it was delicious, very close to how I would make it at home. Very flavorful, price is super high though, $10 a bowl.. Will have to come back to try their other dishes. So far so good!
(4)Joshua A.
Flipping good. Sheesh. Exactly what I hoped it would be. Really fresh food. Really clean flavors. I had the vegetarian rice noodle soup. My wife had the Buddha something. Both solid. And we split calamari and tofu summer rolls beforehand. Love everything about this place.
(5)Anibal O.
Food is very good, staff is nice. What kills this place is location and price. I can get the same plate or bowl of pho in Orlando and in Sanford for a few bucks cheaper. The place is to small and not practical to set and enjoy a conversation since the seats are on top of each other and the door opens and closes so much and it's noisy. To me it feels like ur rushing to eat just to get out of the crampness.. Been their four times and even when it's not full it's cramped.. If they choose a better location and played with the prices a bit I'm sure the ratings would go up...
(3)Maddy B.
Awesome pho.. love there thirfty Thursday deal..;)reasonable prices. Simple decor. Friendly staff.
(4)Loren F.
It's really nice not having to make the drive down to Orlando for exceptional and authentic Vietnamese food. The Vegetarian Noodle Soup is delicious and I think what really sets it apart is the broth. Some Pho places are hit or miss when it comes to broth, but iPho is consistently good, every time. Service is a delight whether eating in or taking out...and fast!
(5)Pranit P.
The servers here are very attentive. It is a small place and they only had 2 servers (makes sense), so be patient with them and they'll deliver great food with a smile.
(4)Anthony M.
Fantastic pho, great weekday specials, a very friendly staff, and a simple yet thorough menu. Very small dining area, about the size of a Subway or smaller.
(4)Shaina V.
Oh my oh me.. Where do I begin... My brother and I stopped in last week for lunch, excited at the prospect that a decent pho place finally opened up near our neighborhood. For years we have making the trek to downtown's Little Vietnam whenever our inevitable pho cravings strike (usually once a week). Considering the gushing reviews and attractive photos, I was very hopeful about this place. Initial impressions: Tiny, trendy, upscale. The dining room probably had 10 or so tables and there were 3 more outside. When brother and I arrived around 2:30PM, at least half of the tables in the dining room were occupied so we opted to sit outside where it was cool and quiet. The table we chose needed to be cleared and I noticed that there was a bowl of pho still half full with broth on the table (not a good sign). Our server, Bridgette, was very sweet and a little green. I think she got confused when my brother and I started ordering in Vietnamese but she played it off well. She also pronounced PHO like FAUX but I saw no need to correct her due to the hilarity of it. Let's just say it all went down hill from there. A list of the pho-pas (see what I did there?): 1. We ordered summer rolls but we were given fish sauce for dipping instead of the peanut sauce. I also found the peanut sauce tasted too much like peanut butter so I had to add a squirt of hoison to make it sweeter. 2. My brother's Thai Iced Tea came out in a cracked glass and the split slowly grew once it got to our table. I really wanted to catch the explosion on video but Bridgette noticed both of us staring intently at the beverage and scurried it away swiftly. 3. I ordered Pho Tai (eye round steak) with no onions or scallions, in a regular size bowl. My brother ordered Pho Ga (chicken) with all the fixings in an extra large bowl. Somehow our orders got mixed up. My pho tai came out in an extra large bowl with scallions and onions. My brother's pho ga came out in a small bowl with no onions or scallions. Bridgette blamed the kitchen, but I had another theory. 4. The broth was bland. After removing all of the scallions and onions from my bowl, I added the usual proportions of hoison, sriracha, and lime. Much to my dismay all of these flavors overwhelmed the pho and I couldn't taste the broth. The only flavors that seemed to stand out were the cloves and star anise. If I had to give them some advice, it would be to add less cloves and more marrow bones. 5. Just like the person before me, I left the bowl half full with broth because it wasn't worth the stomach space. When Bridgette came to clear the table, she stacked the bowls in an effort to save a trip. Unfortunately this resulted in a huge amount of pho being spilled onto my brother's lap (thank goodness it wasn't hot anymore) and he was not amused. We could see that Bridgette felt horrible about it so we decided not to make a fuss. Maybe I have high expectations when it comes to pho but ultimately this place failed to satisfy me. If I come back at all, it won't be for pho. I dislike the prices but I understand they are high because of the surrounding area. The restaurant itself is very stylish and clean (which is good considering it just opened) but the positives stop there. I'd rather go downtown for some authentic pho that's $2 cheaper. I'm giving it one more star than it deserves because I know the Lake Mary folk will like this place. Pho is a risky business and the owners are brave for taking it out of Downtown's Little Vietnam. I have no doubt they will be successful in this location. My review in the format of a short poem: 'Tis a shame, iPho is such a clever name. If only the broth were worth returning, then my wallet would really be hurting.
(3)Katherine N.
The restaurant is a small modern spot to eat when you don't have time or are too hungry to drive down to the Mills 50 area. The food served here consists of the most popular dishes of Vietnamese cuisine, but isn't the best of the best. Their sauces seem to come from out of a bottle and straight onto a dish for you; their soup broths were flavorless; and the dishes themselves are overpriced. For instance, they will charge extra for every item placed into the pho. The service was only ok. The young new waitress was fine and helpful. However, the person in charge of the front was more stand-off-ish than anything else. She also argued a little with me when I reported how I was served a dish different from what I ordered. They brought me a goi cuon with shrimp when I ordered shredded pork. The lady insisted that I ordered shrimp when I know for a fact that I didn't because I'm allergic!!! All in all, I won't be coming back here. Even if I'm starving, I'll wait and make the drive down to Mills 50 for better service, prices and food in general!
(2)Victoria A.
I'm a big fan of pho....however I was not impressed with the pho here. I've eated here on two occasions. The beef pho was lacking quantity of beef. The broth is just flat and bland. It lacked depth and flavors as a typical pho broth should have. I won't spend my money here anymore. Not worth it.
(2)Maryam B.
The food is ok. I don't care for the pho much, but we got my daughter a veggie fried rice that was good. Service is supppper slow.
(3)Danielle W.
My boyfriend and I tried this out and loved it. Adam has eaten a lot of home made pho in the past so had certain off menu requests that they were happy to oblige. Loved it.
(4)Kenneth J.
This cozy, clean, welcoming Vietnamese restaurant took me by surprise! An authentic Vietnamese place, not located in Orlando's "Little Vietnam" Colonialtown, that served tasty, freshly prepared dishes was a welcomed relief to the usual chain restaurants on Lake Mary Blvd. The staff are quite friendly, and the dishes, from the shrimp and chicken clay pot, to the fried pork, and even the fried rice, were delicious. The service was fast, and the price perfect! Will definitely return for my Vietnamese food fix!
(4)Ginessa M.
My husband and our toddler and I have been here twice. Both times were great! The lady that served us (same woman both times) was extremely helpful, fast, and very nice. She remembered us after our first visit! We've tried the summer rolls, (which were great!), a clay pot, vermicelli beef dish, and pho. All were great! The Pho is so huge and delicious. My first time there I tried the pad thai and it was pretty good too. The coconut shake w/ boba is INSANELY good; The vietnamese coffee is addictive. Its going to be hard to try new things here b/c everything has been so good! Glad to have them in town!
(5)Ruth F.
My husband and I have eaten here four times and have tried something different on the menu each time. We have liked everything that we have ordered. My favorite is the chicken and shrimp clay pot. The restaurant is small and can be crowded during the lunch hour. It's a shame that they don't have room for a few more tables inside.
(4)Dexter M.
All the food that we ordered from bon bo hue, rice platters, clay pot to beef stew were all excellent. Prices was just right.
(5)Robert S.
This is my favorite place for Vietnamese outside of Orlando. Bambu in Sanford is not very good, so when I want pho or bun close to me, this is the place I go. Very affordable, portions are sizable, and the food is delicious.
(4)Jeff C.
I forgot to mention it's a bit expensive in my opinion. The other one on 46, same quality food, cheaper prices.

The flavor of the pho soup is one of the best around. My 4 year old can put away a plate of grill pork chop and shrimp by himself. My husband loves the curry chicken hot pot, and has gotten it every time. Although the dish was a little different each time, but always tasty. I did try their spicy beef noodle soup once, it was a bit too beefy/gaming for me, but that may be what it is suppose to be. Lastly, the staff is always nice. Great addition to the neighborhood.

We had our first meal at Ipho today for lunch. Previous local Vietnamese meals were had course at some of the fine establishments on Hwy 50, Little Saigon. Honestly, Ipho was is good as any of those. Their Steak Pho was excellent. Its broth was outstanding with a large amount of thinly sliced tender steak. We opted to large the serving for a buck and it was well worth it. Adding the traditional side accompaniments furthered its authenticity. The Chicken Pad Thai was delicious. Its chicken was plentiful and perfectly cooked. The Summer rolls with their own peanut sauce were delectable. The service was very courteous, prompt and helpful. The restaurant is quaint, clean and obviously proud of its offerings. There seems to be self appointed Pho snobs who in their own minds find themselves arrogantly above all others with their superior knowledge of ordering in Vietnamese and criticizing the pronunciation of "Pho" for their own petty amusement. And use that snobbery to set up a negative review of this restaurant. Frankly it is those reviews, for me, that are tossed and discounted in the overall rating. Ipho is highly recommended. It is well worth it. We will return.

My favorite place for Vietnamese coffee! We eat here at least once a week. The taro shake is a must! Their food has amazing flavor.

2nd time there in one week and it's still a Pretty awesome touch of Vietnamese food. The service is warm and kind but fairly slow even during non-peak hours. The flavors are full and delicious in regards to the vermicelli dishes I had. I would gladly recommend this to anyone looking for a bite to eat in Lake Mary. Seating outside can be pleasant on a wonderful day but cramped and may not be for everyone. Give it a try and enjoy it for sure.

I just came across this tiny restaurant yesterday. Closest Pho restaurant to us. Tiny and trendy, menu still limited. Was expecting more Pho options. My daughter order Pho-Beef, she liked it but too many onions. I ordered Noodles with Pork - although tasty - pork was very salty and burnt to the crunchy state. My husband order Noodles with Shrimp and Beef - and he said was OK. I guess the restaurant is new and may need to work a few kinks. From our end, may not be bad for a quick Pho-fix, but we prefer to make a trip to downtown if time permits.

Eh I would of rather spent the gas and drove down to mills ave for Pho 88 but I wanted to give this place a try since it's a little bit closer to me. I got the bun bo hue and it wasn't as good as I would it would be. It didn't have much flavor as I wanted so I asked if there were spices that I could add to enhance the flavor to it but it just went downhill from there.. The only reason why I gave it two stars was because the waiter was nice and it was pretty inside. There's this one down on 434 called To Duc Pho that I want to try since my friends went there and they had great things to say about it! Maybe that one will be better so I wouldn't have to drive as far to get good vietnamese food!

Not sure how some reviewers claim the pho is "bland". I've been trecking down to Orlando for 10 years from Sanford for my pho fix, so I've got a pretty cultivated taste for pho. In my humble opinion, I would say the pho here is every bit as good as any of the downtown restaurants. In fact, the broth *isn't* overly spicy which is very similar to the downtown establishments that do North Vietnamese style (this is, I believe, more Southern). In any case, the soup is flavorful, fresh, and very tasty - it's the real deal. In fact, I seem to get much less "MSG" effects from this pho than the others. On a separate note, my partner - who is very hard to please being a gourmet cook - absolutely loved the curry that was served here - said it was the best she ever had. I will be coming back and so delighted I don't have to drive 20 miles now to do so!

A nice little noodle house in the Lake Mary area, I tried the pho ga (chicken) in the large portion. The large was a huge bowl of pho, much more than I can finish in one sitting, the broth was flavorful and it came with all the condiments I would expect. Overall I really enjoyed it, nothing like a hot bowl of pho on a gray rainy day like today was. The three others I dined with all had different dishes, all of them looked very appetizing and everyone left happy. For Lake Mary this place is really good although not quite as good or authentic as a few of my favorites in the Mills/Colonial area of Orlando but I am really happy there is a place like this in my immediate area now. The service was warm, welcoming and attentive. Best wishes to them, keep up the good work.

Started with the best summer rolls I've ever had and then the Pho with meat balls and steak. It was Great!! Tommy my waiter was awesome and the staff was very friendly. This is real deal in Vietnamese food and I can't wait to come back so I can try other dishes.

I've only had pad thai twice. The first time I tasted a friend's and loved it, second time I got some from Pei Wei that was disgusting. Soo I had kinda been wanting it but at the same time scared to try it and end up with something hideous lol. I saw a friend on fb raving about this place and she posted pics of her pad thai. I had to have it. 2 days later I made it to the restaurant. Around 9:30pm with a closing time of 10 people were still picking up to go orders and the dining area was about half full. The lady taking my order waa nice enough, I asked what one of the other diners was eating and she pointed it out on the menu. I ended up getting the summer rolls($4) and shrimp pad thai(10.95). The summer rolls were ok, it came with 2 in a box and some sort of vingar yellow like dipping sauce. The pad thai. DELICIOUS. It's exactly like what I had tasted months ago when I tasted my friends. It came in a standard size white to go box with hot sauce and siracha in 2 separate containers. A very large portion it contained carrots, noodles, chicken (tons) and shrimp (measly 5 medium to large shrimp). I didnt see any obvious peanuts which I thought was in pad thai bu it could've been there. My only complaints are about pricing and the fact they gave my 5 shrimp in my shrimp pad thai.
