I really wanted to like this place because we haven’t never been and we like to support small business. The decor is really nice, very inviting and stylish. The service is a little slow, it took 10+ minutes for a server to come to the table to take our order. I think there were only 2 servers for the whole place but it really seemed that the food took long to come out. We came about 45 minutes before closing which seemed reasonable especially because they were hosting a spirit night for our school. We ordered brown sugar boba milk tea, dumplings, fried tofu, and Bao buns. They were out of boba which was disappointing but understandable considering the time of day. The dumplings came out after ~15 minutes, at which time I put in a take out order for an order of 2 more Bao buns. Around 5-10 minutes after that (now at least 20 minutes since we placed our original order), the server advised that they were totally out of Bao buns, so couldn’t fulfill our original or take out orders. We of course were disappointed but were understanding and still wanted the fried tofu. The dumplings were ok, a little wetter than I’d prefer but the ponzu sauce was tasty. The fried tofu was just ok, it was cooked nicely but the coating did it have a ton of flavor. The sweet chili sauce was pretty good. The server brought out 2 Bao buns that she said were the “last two in the house” so that was a nice surprise after being told they were totally out. I ate to say it but the meat was dry although the toppings were fresh and flavorful. I am hope they can improve their communication in the future and figure out what’s in the kitchen quicker so customers aren’t left without their meals.
Pho Au Lac is back… even better than before (which is hard to do). Gorgeous newly renovated interior; vibrant yet relaxing ambiance. Fun place for lunch or dinner, and special occasions! Owner and staff are wonderful… excellent service. And, of course, the food… always fresh and delicious, and a yummy variety of speciality nonalcoholic and alcoholic drinks; teas, slushes, smoothies, boba, wines, and speciality beers, and more. *Check out the new Steam Pot experience! Located in beautiful downtown Winter Springs. Visit soon!!
The food, service and atmosphere was absolutely amazing. I ordered the vegetable egg rolls and they were perfectly crisp and flavorful. The sweet chili sauce paired with them was so delicious, it really made the dish stand out. The staff was attentive and welcoming and the overall vibe of the restaurant made it such an enjoyable experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!
