Zen Noodle Bar in Gainesville is a restaurant known for its excellent bowls of Bun Bo Hue and Pho, considered by some to be among the best in Florida. The Bun Bo Hue is consistently excellent, properly spicy with high-quality meat and tendon, a rich broth, and fresh herbs. The Deluxe Pho is also highly recommended, featuring a huge portion of quality meat and delicious broth. The ramen receives strong praise as well, described as savory and amazing, with huge portions and an amazing broth, including a vegan ramen noodles soup. Other noted dishes include the bulgogi beef bowl, drunken noodles, and the Bang Bang Noodle Bowl with tasty sauce and fresh veggies, though the chicken in that dish was noted to have a weird texture. Appetizers like the fried chicken dumplings and takoyaki are also highlighted. The iced coffee and taro milk tea with boba are enjoyed. The staff is consistently described as excellent, very nice, friendly, and providing outstanding service. Food is prepared in a reasonable time. It is a go-to spot for many, offering an awesome experience with great food that keeps customers returning.
