Customer Reviews

"The Fifth District is a little gem for Ocoee! It's been wonderful having a good Vietnamese restaurant so close to Winter Garden. The owners are so nice, and they provide great service every time I come in, regardless of eating in or grabbing my food to go. The pho is good but I love their Bun Bo Hue! The broth is delightful and spicy, hitting all the notes I'm looking for in this soup. It's the best (in my opinion) item on their menu! Make sure you check them out on your next visit when you're out here!"

"I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Let's start with the service, the staff is extremely kind and welcoming. It was my first time trying pho and I wanted to do it the right way, so they recommended the rare steak and brisket and even took the time to explain how to eat it properly, which I really appreciated. The food was ready in under 10 minutes. Now, let's talk about the flavor. The ingredients were fresh, and the pho itself was absolutely delicious. The portion size was very generous, which made the experience even better. The restaurant is lovely, very clean, with a great atmosphere. I'll definitely become a regular"

"By far the most authentic Vietnamese noodle house we've been to on the East Coast, perhaps the presence of growers in the area permit the use of proper produce. Ngo gai, Thai basil and banana flower, instead of cilantro, Italian basil and cabbage. Flavor profile of our pho bo and bun bo hue were as close to my homemade as I've had dining out. Proteins were overly generous for the price, and not in a bad way. Tendon was wafer thin and tender, brisket was nearly fat free, cha lua was thick cut and plentiful. Bao appetizer was acceptable but not outstanding like the soups and the vegetable spring rolls were excellent. Prices reasonable, atmosphere was pleasant, quiet with chill music on a Friday night. Counter service is different, but you're served everything at your table. And they used the proper noodles for both soups, thin for the pho and thick for the bun. We will definitely visit again when craving Vietnamese."

"My experience at The Fifth District was exceptionally positive. The service was prompt and well-organized, and every staff member I encountered was courteous and genuinely attentive. The overall atmosphere was welcoming, and the efficiency with which everything was handled made the visit smooth and enjoyable. I truly appreciate the professionalism displayed and would highly recommend The Fifth District to anyone seeking a pleasant and reliable experience"

"We have been in twice now, the food is incredible. Some of the best pho I have had. I usually don't order chicken pho because it's sometimes dry and get over cooked in the broth. I took a chance and I'm glad I did! It was tender and full of flavor. The beef pho is also a top hit for me as well, that's my usual go to. We have had the boba teas, coffees and as apps we had the dumplings and spring roll. Always fresh! If yoy are looking for some wonderful Vietnamese food come here!"

- Tara L.

"A few days ago I came down with a bad cold and really needed a pick me up, so I searched for "pho near me" and The Fifth District appeared nearby. I ordered the chicken pho and a hot jasmine tea. Both were served fast, along with a carafe of lemon water. The pho was delicious and felt really rejuvenating. I was both full and very hydrated by the end of my meal! The staff are friendly and soft spoken. The atmosphere was festive including Christmas music, and there we about 7 tables full of families and friends sharing meals on a humid, rainy December night. I can't wait to return soon to try additional menu options and to enjoy a fun boba tea!"

"Great food. Clean dining area, great service despite being busy. Had Chicken Pho Bowl. Shrimp and Pork Spring Roll. Delish!"
