Pho54 is the absolute best place to get Pho! Tried many, many others and nothing compares to the amazing, fresh and authentic flavors you get here.
Beyond the Pho, this place has so many other options on their menu, you can’t go wrong. I’d recommend the chicken wings for an appetizer. They are honestly the best I’ve had. They also have the best Vietnamese iced coffee anywhere around.
The people and staff are just as amazing as the food. Always very friendly and welcoming, and helpful with food suggestions.
Today tried something new, Com Chien Bo Luc Lac (Wok seared shaking beef with fried rice), and it’s instantly a new favorite.
Pho54 is a must try if you haven’t yet. So good we visit once a week.

I’ve been a regular at pho 54 for years but man this place never misses. Today, my boyfriend and I wanted to branch out from our usual order of pho and summer rolls, so we got shaking beef, and the fish sauce wings in addition to pho. LET ME TELL YOU THE WINGS WERE SOOO GOOD. I can easily say they were the best wings I’ve ever had if not top 3. They were perfectly crispy, hot, juicy, and flavorful. 10/10. And the shaking beef was unassuming in appearance but insanely delicious and packed with flavor. The beef was tender and cooked to perfection, and the sauce was delicious. The fried rice it comes with is also fantastic. 10/10 as well. Lastly, the pho was great as always. It’s simply, light, and comforting, one of my favorite soups. Also they have the best viet iced coffee. Now that I think about it…I’ve never had anything on this menu I didn’t find delicious. Service is consistently good and the restaurant is always clean and seems well managed. Pho 54 is an Oviedo gem!

We stopped in because of the convenient location. The food is ok, nothing special. Leaves a lot to be desired. Next time I’ll make the drive to Viet town.. The food is on the sweeter side and they are very stingy with the vegetables and herbs. We had the pho, spicy beef noodle soup, and duck bamboo noodle soup. Meh.
The service is very lacking. Although, they are nice, they disappear into the kitchen for long periods of time and it’s hard to flag someone down as there’s only 2 servers. It took us forever to get our bill at the end and took even longer to get our bill paid. Pricing is decent.

Dare I say one of the best (if not the best) Vietnamese restaurants in Orlando and Oviedo. I’ve tried several types of food from this place. from bun bo hue, bun dau mam tom, fried rice with chicken, pho, rice with grilled pork chop, steamed rolls, all types of pho, etc, and every single dish was authentic, reasonably priced, and often with a great portion.
I’ve been all over the country trying Vietnamese food, from Houston to LA, and this place still holds a very special place in my heart. It’s quite difficult to find a Vietnamese place in this country where you can find Bun dau mam tom because most places just cater the public, especially in predominantly white towns. This place not just has it despite being in Oviedo-they do it right. The shrimp paste is just right-not too salty, sweet, or spicy. It complements the tofu, pork, and fish paste extremely well. And you would think a dish with so many fried ingredients and a smelly sauce would make you feel bloated and awful after eating it, but this place knows how to balance it out with the generous amount veggies they give you. When I first ordered this dish two years ago, I was disappointed they didn’t include things like blood sausage, intestine, etc in it. However, the portion was so generous that I ended up not minding the lack of those rather rare and niche ingredients at all.
Another dish they consistently get right is the fried rice with roasted chicken. The chicken is always very crispy and seasoned extremely well-not too salty when used with the soy sauce that comes with the dish and not too bland when used without the soy sauce. The fried rice complements the chicken extremely well. It’s soft, not greasy, and seasoned delicately enough to never overwhelm the flavor of the chicken or when used with soy sauce. And just as with the Bun dau mam tom dish, this place is masterful at balancing their ingredients. They know most people would feel bloated after eating a dish with just fried ingredients, so they give you a decent amount of veggies to balance all the grease out. That is what makes this place superior to the majority of Vietnamese restaurants I’ve tried in Orlando and most other places.
All in all, if you live in Orlando or anywhere near Oviedo and crave some of the most authentic Vietnamese food in America, come check this place out. It will not disappoint you. 10/10. I’ll recommend this place to anyone I know. For me personally, I unfortunately had to move to Gainesville with no good Vietnamese food in my 50 mi radius. So this place is one of the biggest reasons I want to return Orlando once in a while despite the awful traffic and high cost of living.

The first time I ate here, I came with Pepita and Fofani and we all ordered the Pho because they said they liked it. Well, those girls loved it but I discovered that I am not a skinny noodles and broth guy. So, yesterday they grabbed me and took me back. (They didn’t tell me where we were going.) Pepita said, “Order something else like the grilled pork sammich.” I ordered the 37 along with chicken fried rice. The sammich was awesome and the fried rice had plenty of tender chicken. Quite impressive. Much better than I have had in Chinese restaurants. Ingredients were fresh and the flavor was excellent. So, if you are not a Pho fan, you can find something else that will make you glad you dropped by. I will be having lunch there on a regular basis.

We stopped by Pho 54 for lunch since we were in the area and it was a great choice. The food was fulfilling and the broths were delicious! The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was humble and welcoming.

I’ve been eating at this place for 4 years. We’re usuals at the restaurant. The service is very friendly, the food is traditional and it tastes so good! The location is very convenient and it’s cozy. It’s a good place to visit with family. They offer beer and soft drinks. The atmosphere is very chilled and relaxed. I love it there! This is one of the few Pho places that offers Filet Mignon Pho. We also love the grilled chicken summer rolls, but we ordered them with peanut sauce instead of the fish sauce. Their dumplings are very delicious and full of filling. We have had them both fried and steamed, but personally prefer steamed.

The food was very good. Great options for vegetarians! Really great Vietnamese restaurant.
Number 42 the Pho Xao Rau Dau Hu was really good. The vegetables and tofu were cooked and seasoned extremely well. It was just slightly oily but I would order it again. The noodles didn’t reheat well for leftovers
For the smoothies, the jackfruit smoothie was very very good.
Nice and fast service
My non-vegetarian friends got the shrimp pho and beef pho which they really enjoyed.

We’ve been going to this restaurant for some time but hadn’t been in a while. What a treat!!! After we ate, we were trying to figure out what else to order to take home because the food was amazing. Everything from the herbs and veggies to the proteins were all very fresh. We got the grilled chicken vermicelli noodles, fresh summer rolls, and ordered the combination pad Thai to go. After our meal, we tried the jackfruit smoothie, and what a pleasant way to wrap up the meal. Fresh, cold, with just the right amount of sweetness. This place serves fresh, quality food, great portions and reasonably priced.
I cannot wait to go back again. I would highly recommend this place.

Great food and atmosphere. They have the porridge with pork intestines which is one of the specialties. The Vietnamese salad is also a signature as they added the beef tendon. The food is fresh and the restaurant is clean. The atmosphere really brings up the Northern Vietnamese provinces.
