Excellent food, service and prices. The in house spicy sauce is so amazing. Tried the P7 Pho, seafood Tom Yum, egg rolls, and fish sauce wings. Everything was amazing. The meatballs in the Pho, the fish sauce flavor wings and the in-house spicy sauce were especially delicious.

What Michael’s lack’s in ambiance is made up in flavor, freshness and service. We had the chicken noodle bowl and pork noodle bowl. Visually appealing and delicious.

We recently ordered takeout from Michael Asian Cuisine (a small Vietnamese restaurant tucked away in a strip plaza), and it turned out to be one of the best dining surprises we’ve had in a long time. From the outside, you might not think twice about stopping in, but once you try the food, you’ll realize what a hidden gem this place truly is.
I ordered the shrimp and chicken teriyaki, and it was absolutely fantastic. The shrimp were plump and perfectly cooked, while the chicken was tender and flavorful. The teriyaki glaze had the perfect balance of sweetness and savory depth, and everything tasted fresh rather than overly heavy or greasy like you sometimes get with takeout. It was so satisfying and really well prepared.
My partner ordered the steak and meatball pho soup, and that dish was just as impressive. The broth was rich, aromatic, and clearly simmered with care—it had that deep, authentic flavor that only comes from time and tradition. The steak slices were tender, the meatballs hearty, and the noodles cooked to the perfect texture. Even as a takeout order, it arrived with all the traditional toppings and condiments, which made it feel like a full restaurant experience at home.
Overall, this spot is a true hidden treasure. The authenticity and quality are on par with the best Vietnamese restaurants we’ve tried, and the fact that it’s tucked into an unassuming plaza makes it feel even more special. We’ll definitely be back again soon, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone craving genuine Vietnamese comfort food.

If you are looking for super tasty quality asian food with the sweetest service, this is the place!!
I was looking for a pho restaurant close to Eustis and found this hidden gem! The exterior plaza gave us pause, but my husband and I were both pleasantly surprised at how delicious everything we ordered was! The Tom Young noodle soup is so flavorful and aromatic (I get this every visit now)! The gyoza style dumplings are always perfectly cooked and delicious! My husband and mother in law both love the fried rice. Seriously, we haven’t gotten a bad dish either time we’ve gone here. Oh, and dont even get me started on the iced coffee… yum yum yum! Do yourself a favor and dine at Michaels Asian Cuisine.

I looked up restaurants in Tavares with high Google ratings for Asian cuisine, and Michael's Asian Cuisine stood out. Although the shopping center it’s located in may seem a bit questionable due to some closed businesses, don’t let that deter you from visiting this gem for lunch or dinner. Michael's wife, Angel, provided exceptional service and really made us feel welcome. Michael, the owner and chef, personally came out to meet us—his wonderful personality and genuine passion for cooking truly shine through. The food here is undoubtedly five-star, cooked to perfection. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone, and we will certainly be back!
Always top notch quality. Great family supporting the community as well as contributing to small businesses! I've had their pho, teriyaki chicken, wings, veggies, rice, noodles and everything was always outstanding. To anyone who would leave a poor review to this restaurant and hard working family, is quite disgraceful and embarrassing that the community would act like this to a fellow community small business. This family and restaurant needs true community support for all the quality they consistently bring to the table!

WORST FOOD POISONING IVE EVER HAD!!!! I am a young healthy person and I have not had any real stomach issues but ever since I ate here and got in my car to leave the restaurant I immediately threw up and I have been through numerous hospital visits and gastritis diagnose that have racked up bills and I have been mentally and physically going through hell after eating there. I’ve been throwing up and feeling nausea/stomach inflammation ever since then. It’s been 3 months since this incident happened and My gastrologist said it could take up to 6 months for my stomach to recover. I write this because I want to potentially save a life or someone from everiencing the health and financial HELL I’ve had to go through.
