Best Shabu Shabu | World Noodle + Pho

Overpriced restaurant. They will nickle and dime you for 16 pieces of beef and 16 pieces of seafood . They even charged me 8.00 for the broth. How do they expect you to cook the meat and seafood if they don't give you the broths? The place is outdated and look run down. They will rob you blind if you are a tourist from out of town.

First time here and we love the food. My kids were so happy with their soups. Everything was delicious and the service was amazing. Our server was very friendly and kind. (Elly) ofc we would come back here again.

I don’t like to give bad reviews but this one earned it.

A reservation was made for a group of 15 on the phone for a birthday dinner. No mention of the fact that they could not accommodate such a large group. When we arrived for our reservation time, the young lady that greeted us said “They don’t have a table to accommodate such a large group”. We were told, “See if you can fit anywhere”.
The hostess/server indicated she could not make drinks and there was no bartender available. The appetizers came out roughly an hour after they were ordered. One of the soups was cold, the shrimp was cold noodles were cold. When our main course came out, several of the dishes were also cold.

Although the restaurant is themed pretty well, the food left a lot to be desired.

Upon walking in there was only one person working the entire restaurant, she was the server/hostess. She took our drink order and main order right away.

Two phos were ordered. Filet and rare steak.
Both cuts of meat were decent, and not fatty. BUT the real downside was the pho broth. It wasn’t hot at all. It was lukewarm to say the least. The flavor of the broth was there… but that’s it. Lukewarm, meat took long to get warm…

Yeah… it was a one and done visit.
My rating is based on the food only.

The girl working the restaurant was kind and apologetic for being understaffed. She definitely needed at least 2 other people working there to take the load off of her.

Overall - 2 stars **

Food is horrible. There was 5 of us dining in and every single dish tasted off, even the free candy at the door tasted stale and plastic. Never again!!

Food was average and small quantity, price is higher than typical and service was slow. Place is overly decorated with Hindu Buddhist items everywhere. Turmeric smells is overwhelming to enjoy different flavors of food. Not recommended for me.

This place is just great, what blew me away was the fried tofu appetizer. Papaya salad was wonderfully balanced. Only critique is, I ordered thai hot and didn't shed a tear, but make no mistake my fam will be back.

Big disappointment, we are far from the quality that we can expect from this type of dish in this type of restaurant. I would recommend the year more in the center of Orlando because there, see my other comments, there are really very good Vietnamese restaurants.

Ordered from this place 9/14/24 and I had the worse experience ever. I had stomach issues for 5 days, I gave my baby 1 spoon of the soup and it almost killed my baby. She vomited and pooped nonstop and the same for me. At this moment just the thought of Asian cuisine makes me sick. I am just recovering from this horrific experience. Do not eat here it is unsafe for human consumption

So good a must stop and visit if in town !!

The food was fresh and delicious, and we absolutely loved our server Win. She was very attentive to our needs and brought everything we asked promptly and with a beautiful attitude. The meats were fresh and tasted amazing! We tried the Beef Delight Combo and loved every cut, but the Kobe Wagyu Ribeye was the winner. We tried the miso broth and the Sukuyaki, and they were both perfectly seasoned to our taste. The vegetables come wrapped in saran wrap, and they were very fresh. We loved the variety included, and it was the perfect portion for our broth. The place is beautiful, smells great, and it is very inviting. It feels authentic and like you traveled to Thailand for a time. Best Shabu Shabu has easily become one of our favorite spots in the area. We strongly recommend you give them a try.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options and vegetables are fresh
