Your sneak peek into what’s coming next for our neighborhood dining scene

Get ready, Lake Nona: beloved local eatery City Pho & Grill (originally rooted in Maitland) will be opening a brand-new location in Lake Nona at 10799 Moss Park Road Ste 104, Orlando, FL 32832. They’re hopeful to open in December 2025.

From Maitland to Lake Nona: A Proven Concept

Since its founding at 156 Lake Ave, Maitland, City Pho & Grill has built a loyal following thanks to its full‐menu of Vietnamese-inspired comfort fare, warm service and reliable daily hours (11 a.m.–10 p.m.). Customers return for signature dishes like build-your-own pho, vermicelli bowls, and a standout clay-pot curry chicken.
Their business model—full dine-in, take-out, and strong delivery presence via Uber Eats, DoorDash and Postmates—has proven itself in the Maitland location and their UCF/East-Orlando branch.

What Lake Nona Diners Can Expect

  • Menu familiarities: Expect the same core favorites: rich bowls of pho, crispy vermicelli, house specials like clay-pot curry chicken and pan-fried rice noodles with shrimp.
  • Neighborhood friendly: With lunch, dinner, take-out and delivery options, it’s positioned to be a reliable go-to for families, work-day meals and casual nights out.
  • Opening timeline: The December 2025 target gives us a few months to build anticipation. Watch for a big “coming soon” moment and likely soft-opening promos.
  • Local synergy: With Lake Nona’s rapid growth and vibrant dining scene, this feels like a timely landing. The brand already has name recognition and positive word-of-mouth from nearby Orlando suburbs.
  • Community touchpoint: If their Maitland location is any indicator, expect seasonal specials, visually rich social media announcements and delivery integrations.
