    steamed rice
    Richard S.

    I was staying with a friend in Miami on Brickell and he said 3 Chefs was very good Chinese so We ordered from there. I thought I called the S.W.12th St location but I guess are closed and the other location answers the calls. Ordered Wonton soup, broth was very good but the wonton has a lump pork ball inside. Tried the Szechuan shrimp, thought it would be spicy which it wasn't , nice portion with 10 medium shrimp plus lots of vegetables. Just fair.

    Pho accompaniment
    Lasana S.

    My friend and I were in the neighborhood when he started craving pho. Although I was hesitant to try this restaurant due to the reviews, it was the most convenient option at the time. We both ordered the pho with steak and shrimp. Initially, I thought the broth and meat were decent. However, as the ingredients settled, the broth developed an odd aftertaste, and the noodles became gummy, which I didn't enjoy. I barely made it halfway through the dish before giving up. Still hungry, I decided to play it safe and order a pu pu platter featuring ribs, wings, crab rangoon, egg rolls, and dumplings. Overall, the platter was decent, though I noticed a strange aftertaste with the chicken wings as well. The true highlight of the experience was our waitress, Roxanne, who was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the meal. That said, I really hope Miami sees an increase in its Vietnamese and Asian fusion options because, unfortunately, this restaurant was not a good representation.

    Vietnamese vermicelli
    Anton P.

    Came here late on Monday night. The staff was nice. Rice vermicelli bowl: can use less lettuce but more beef, also cut up the spring roll would be nice. The next day we had food poisoning, we last thing we have eaten was food from this place, and before that we haven't eaten all day, so we think this is the primary suspect, not sure if it was the food or the milk tea from this place.

    Passion fruit Green tea
    Sherry J.

    Came here on separate occasions: Bubble tea: 3/5 The have different flavours to choose from. The boba is chewy but I've ordered it twice where the boba was clumped together. Might've just been cooked badly or cooled down for too long. Food: 1/5 Got the vermicelli bowl and dinner special. Two people eating two separate dishes and somehow we've both ended up with stomach pains and diarrhoea that hasn't stopped 24hrs later. Since it's not because of one dish, we're thinking it must be something in the kitchen that contributed to both dishes being off. Or the beef they use in both dishes. Since it's still going 24hrs later, we don't know what it is. Hoping it'll go away otherwise we both need to visit the doctor. It's a real shame because the service was great and the food didn't taste bad. Wouldn't come back here for food ever again.

    Szechuan Pork
    Annette F.

    We'd not eaten here for quite a while and I needed a soup fix. Parking was relatively easy; we found a space on a nearby side street. We were welcomed nicely, but it took a while to place our order - but that was ok. We had the order of summer rolls with shrimp and salad. They were ok, not something I'd normally order, I think too heavy on the salad and light on the small shrimps. My husband had the Szechuan Pork and thoroughly enjoyed it. For my soup fix, I went with the shrimp pho. Ok, this is an Chinese restaurant, not Vietnamese. Yes, the pho was, well, ok, but it was what I needed. There were a good number of nice sized shrimp hiding in the noodles. The side dish of sprouts, greens, and lime was generous. I needed to take some home and was given a good portion of the sides to add to my leftovers. The ambiance leaves much to desire, but then you don't have to pay for that. We enjoyed our meal

    Generally okay and nothing to brag home about . Ordered a couple dishes and the quality is subpar but it did satisfy my Chinese food craving.

    Amazing food and service!!! So different but well executed best tofu in town and chicken wings!read more

    Our dinner at Tâm Tâm can be summed up with two words: FLAVOR BOMB!…read more But you know I can't stop at two words. Tâm Tâm was at the top of my list for Miami Spice foodie adventures, and with the annual event winding down* it was high time to get our fix in. I've had this Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant on my radar for quite sometime, but the dining stars hadn't quite aligned yet. However, last night was the night! This intimate lowkey dining spot was all a buzz on hump day. A reservation was a no-go for any civilized eating hour, but we managed to score a great table outside within 15 minutes of showing up during primetime. They do not have a liquor license but do have a comprehensive wine menu and some low/no-ABV cocktails. Unfortunately, the one I had my heart set on (Pathfinder with a Calamansi foam) was no longer on the menu, and our server said he did not recommend the Aplos Spicy Margarita which was the only other thing I was considering, and hubby is an Old Fashioned drinker, so we stuck with water. We both opted for the Miami Spice menu. They've priced it at $50 for dinner, but portions are notably smaller (halved) for at least the entrees (not sure about the apps and dessert). I started with the Scallop Pomelo Crudo. This light and refreshing dish had my tastebuds dancing with every bite. Hubby went for the Lotus Root Salad which I snagged a few bites of. If we return for a regular menu night, this will be a resounding yes. So bright and flavorful with a nice mix of textures. With the Miami Spice menu Tâm Tâm was also offering a complimentary duo of their signature house wings. I don't eat chicken so instead they brought me the shimeji mushrooms which I destroyed! No man mushroom left behind. I'm generally not a fan of dill but it works in this dish, playing up the seafood notes of the La Vong sauce. As for the wings? Hubby was in heaven. He said they were the best chicken wings he's ever had, and getting him to give more than a "good" or "okay" on a dish is a tall order, so that my friends is a rave review. I tried a little dip of the sauce and it was delicious. For entrees, my man went for the Lamb Wrap Situation, and I opted for the Grilled Sea Bass. The fish was cooked and deboned expertly. The fish sauce and citrus notes of the nuoc cham were at times a little overpowering, but I also was trying to avoid the carb hit of the white rice which would probably mellow it a bit. Other than that, the dish was great. The lamb wrap received a resounding thumbs up from my other half as he devoured the whole plate. For dessert we picked one of each, the cashew passionfruit cheesecake, and the seasonal dessert, a guava ice cream. The cheesecake was much thinner/smaller than I expected, but the flavors are so pronounced that a little goes a long way. It's not intended to be eaten together, but the sweetness of the guava ice cream pairs perfectly with the tartness of the passion fruit. We could have easily polished off a second round of the desserts, but this was a good stopping point. Overall, Tâm Tâm is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the stomach and tastebuds. The plating is beautiful and thoughtful, and each ingredient is carefully considered to create a symphony of flavors on the tongue. Based on food alone, this is one of the best meals I've had in a long time, hence the 5 stars. But, if I'm being honest, the service? More of a 3 or 4 star. Getting water refills was hit or miss. The time between courses was sometimes awkwardly long. And we were never offered any tea or coffee (perphaps they don't make it?). Instead the server just dropped the check off. They were very busy that night, so it's likely a lack of time thing, but those little details are what really takes a meal to the next level. I'm still keeping the review at 5 stars though because the food is really the star of the show and the reason people are lining up to dine here in the middle of the week. *Miami Spice has officially been extended thru October this year however Tâm Tâm has yet to confirm if they'll continue participating.

    It's been two years and things have changed. But the Happy Hour still rocks here. HH is Wednesdays…read morethrough Sundays from 5p-7p still at the high-tops and bar area only. They've added some more popular drinks like the Basic B**ch which is like a lychee martini, and the Upper East Side which were both very delicious. I had two of each! For the HH snacks, we got the shrimp and the pork dumplings and we all agreed the Shrimp Dumpling was the favorite. It's sauce was soy-based, while the pork had kind of a curry base. We really went for a Birthday reservation. So after happy hour at the bar we moved over to our table. And order more drinks and more good eats! I suggested the Edemame Hummus (again) [still amazing!]. But we also got the Octopus and Imperial Eggrolls. Side note - our server Natalia was really kind to our very active table of two checks and 8 people. She went over the menu, and she was so convincing we ordered everything that she talked about. She even asked if I wanted a drink and I didn't at first, but then she went on to talk about the Upper East Side, and I was sold. For the main entrees, we shared the Branzino which is market price, the Millionaire Rice, and the Bo Luc Lac (filet mignon). All were amazing. I'd ordered it all again. Will definitely be back.

So I jumped on Yelp to look for the nearest highly rated pho restaurant in came across Photastic. The yelp directions brought me to a parking space right in front of the restaurant. We arrived around 8 PM, an hour before closing. We were greeted immediately and sat in a nice table, which was clean and well equipped for a pho meal. Menus and water were brought immediately along with a warm greeting from the waitress. Immediately, I noticed that I had interacted with two members of the staff at each admin, gracious and welcoming. I found the discontinued through the entire meal with other people, stopping by to make sure that everything was perfect and being enjoyed by us. I went to the restroom to wash and noted it to be immaculate. This is usually one of the best signs that a restaurant pays attention to detail and I am always happy to see that they are meticulous. Our order was taken and we were served very quickly. First out was the condiments/toppings. The peanut based sauce for the spring rolls and the vegetables for the pho. We began with Gỏi Cuốn, Vietnamese spring rolls. Traditionally these are fresh shrimp, vermicelli noodles, and lettuce wrapped in thin, translucent rice paper served cold with a savory dipping sauce, often a peanut-based sauce and here they are customized with delicious fresh herbs and vegetables, as well as pork. Personally, I do not like it as much with pork, but had not noticed that it was made this way on the menu when I ordered and next time, I'll ask if it is available without the pork. I will say, however, that is hands-down, the very best Gỏi Cuốn I have ever eaten. My wife and I both ordered pho. She chose the chicken while I opted for the steak and meatball. We found all of the meats very chewy in texture, but they were extremely tasty. The portions were huge and the broth was delicious. The flavorful soups with fresh noodles and ingredients were both spectacular. Portions are excellent. I like mine spicy and the perfect condiments were available right on the table. The Matcha latte Boba tea was quite good as well. Prices were in line with other local restaurants which will somewhat high are right, where I expect them to be locally. The overall experience was great. I did notice that somebody walked in about a minute before the post to closing time and was turned away. While, I find this to be unusual in local family owned restaurants, it is certainly not unreasonable. So if you're a late eater, check the hours before arriving. This was my first visit in this restaurant has moved right onto my list of favorite comfort foods nearby my home. If you like pho, I highly recommend you try it.

First bite into it blew my mind of how crispy on the outside and soft in the inside the bread was. The flavor that came with every bite had me asking a sharing bowl to try all the other orders. Everything was delicious and definitely worth the sweat and calories that came with it. The gains of enriched flavor, strong beef collagen broth , and crispy vegetables spring roll noodles made a pleasant meal. It was not packed when we got there around 3 pm and the restaurant was spacious. Quick service as well.

And I feel like I have to say this: some of these reviews are clearly linked to exposure. The pho here was FINE. Solid 3. The service? Not good at all. The woman who cooks/runs this place was all over the place. There was nothing kind, grateful, or warm about her as she took orders and prepared food. Her husband was nice but the lack of attentive service from her was not cool. She was very tuned in to the other couple dining but I called her several times (in that tiny space) and she seemed to not hear me. I also have to say that the size of their homemade teas is super generous. However, while I was there, two tables, including mine, were served Thai Iced Teas with sour milk. When I finally got the owner's attention, she frowned when I told her and said, "I just served that." And then went to the other table to double-check as if my words wouldn't quite do it. lol The other table confirmed it was sour. The owner took the cups, no apology or nothing, and asked us if we wanted it remade. I asked for a coke instead. A bottle was $5... five whole dollars. Egg rolls: okay. Def a bit bland.. Served with some weird ketchupy sweet/sour sauce. I asked for fish sauce, which was good. Paid about $36 for pho, egg rolls, and a drink. If this is your only pho option in the area, go for it, but i was not impressed especially once my stomach processed the sour milk.
