Purple potato dumplings
Alicia P.

It's been some time since I've visited Bamboozle - and it was the downtown location which is no longer there. This place...has been here, what!? 7 years or so? WOW.. My bad for not making it here sooner... I love their little outdoor area. And they even have an outdoor counter facing into the inside area. We sat at a regular table out there. The inside seemed a little squishy. Ok we ordered a lot of food... For starters we had the Okinawan purple potato dumplings...those were good... One friend ordered like tacos? And we also had beef garlic Bahn mi and a small beef pho.... All very good. They offer drinks in a cooler (bottles/cans, etc) but I opted for just plain water. Now that I've finally been to this location, I won't be too long before going back. They are also very nice here...they let us stay until after closing time, it was a bit early on a week night, so keep that in mind...

pork congee
Sally Z.

Service: 3.5/5 Food: 4/5 Price: $20-$30 Open concept space, such minimal decorations it looks unfinished. Came here previously for lunch, returned this time to try their new breakfast menu. Everything is pretty solid. Owner works in the morning + clearly has a lot of love for the food. Looks all female-run, so respect. Tip: Order + pay first, find your own seating. They bring out your food + bus the table. *Would Recommend What I Ordered: - Breakfast Beignets (Compote): fluffy, not too sweet - *Breakfast Baos (Sausage + Egg): Viet sausage so good, personally did not like the lemongrass, oily - Congee (Pork): flavorful, savory-take - Pâté Chaud: flaky, dry pastry; like a chicken meatball - *Breakfast Banh Mi (Spam + Egg): mayo heavy, soft bread, good flavor - *Breakfast Bagel: chewy, flaky, cheesy, I think it's an online trend now - Stir Fry Okra: only version of okra I've liked, not slime-y; not sure if it's offered anymore

Beef Pho
Anthony D.

We stopped by for a quick lunch at Bamboozle Heights which majority serves up a variety of classic Vietnamese dishes. Inside is really clean and has a very bright aesthetic. On the day we went (Tuesday) they had a half off special on Pho which was great! The beef pho was unfortunately just okay. Between the broth flavor which was decent, the quantity of meat being small (maybe because of the half off), and the noodle seemingly shorter than what I typically see, I was not too impressed. Bear in mind that this is coming from someone who grew up eating Pho religiously and has had more bowls of pho than almost any other noodle dish. There's simply a depth of flavor lacking in this broth that was the main achilles heel. If this is your first time having pho, then I think this bowl does it's job. But for a seasoned pho-eater, it fell short of where it could be.

Delicious Crispy Duck & Shrimp Fresh Rolls - Sharing is Caring!!
Karen V.

This is my second visit to Bamboozle, but my first time at the Seminole Heights location. The last visit was at the Channelside location before it closed, but then it reopened under a different Yelp profile so my review was lost. Go figure. I do like that this location has more parking than its predecessors. Unfortunately, the clientele don't park in them very well which makes it difficult to find a space wide enough to park in during peak times. That's my only gripe. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. Place your order at the counter and they give you a flower vase with a number to take to your table. The food comes out hot & fresh. I love that the emphasis is on the fresh veggies in the Banh Mi sandwiches and the fresh rolls. They are nice & crisp. The bread is toasted and has a nice crunch. The grilled pork is plentiful & tasty with the pâte and mayo. It's a good sandwich. The Crispy Duck fresh roll is my favorite. I love that they include one of those crispy baked spring roll sticks inside the fresh roll. I've only had that one other time at Roll Play in the DC area. It gives it a nice crunch. Although, I may be imaging that the one at Bamboozle had one. I could have sworn there was a crunchy stick but my friend didn't get that same experience. The shrimp fresh roll is good, and I totally appreciate the size of the shrimp. I just wish it had that smoky char grill taste that I've had elsewhere in Riverview. Other than that, it was a good visit. The food was brought to our table in a good amount of time. I'd go back again if ever in that area. I just don't go to Seminole Heights very often. I keep saying that I'll try the pho next time. It's just too difficult to pass up the Fresh Rolls. Try to catch them when they're having their "Fresh Roll Wednesday" special. It's a buy 2, get 1 free deal.

Rolls
Amber G.

Literally one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa, let alone Seminole heights. They use fresh ingredients in their rolls. I usually get the lemongrass beef with the zesty sauce. Don't forget to add a boba, the jackfruit smoothie is yummmy! This location has difficulty with parking, so be mindful of that and maybe carpool. The shabby chic vibe of the interior and exterior coupled with the fast & friendly service make this a hot spot!

Though a goofy name, we left feeling the opposite of Bamboozled as the meals we had were delicious and a great overall experience. The thing I will come back for is the mangonada smoothie- the mix of the salty from the tajin with the tart fruity mango was fabulous. I got a bowl that was almost a Vietnamese version of a salad and it was so refreshing. We also thought the broth from the pho was wonderful, it tasted a little different from other pho I have tried. Not sure the difference but this stood out in the best way.

Wish I had something like this at home. A very chill healthy quick serve fair priced place with tasty food! Kudos!

Traditional Roll
Boon C.

I was good with a small pho after long trip from other countries. I was arrive during noon time. There are several patron during that time. Not busy. I got small beef pho and traditional fresh roll. Both of them just ok. The broth is good for the pho. But the noodle is kind of 30% of the full pho with 3.5 slice of beef. Not much of veggie. The fresh roll is one but has good shrimp and grilled pork in it. Price wise is a bit high with the amount of food. Overall is just average.

Regular mini beignets, Iced Vietnamese Coffee
Lily W.

Food here is fantastic and staff is lovely and attentive. It's such a cute spot for a relaxed cozy lunch with all their plants, even the table numbers come on a little plant! The rolls were delicious, I got the tofu with peanut sauce. First time having Vietnamese iced coffee and it was soooo good! I got the beignets too, also good but I like tons of powdered sugar so would probably request extra next time. Will for sure be back!

Cristina P.

The food is delicious and healthy with a variety of fresh vegetables. The atmosphere is casual. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to you. They do have beer and wine options available for purchase. Our bowls were delicious but the highly was the sauces.

I loved going to Bamboozle Heights. Upon entering, I loved how the exterior of the building is decorated. It gave me cozy home vibes where you can sit out in the porch and just relax. The interior is basically the same way, with beautiful decor and plants. The staff were friendly and helpful and made my experience one of the best. The seafood pho was delicious. Very hearty and flavorful. The dragonfruit passion tea was amazing. I will definitely be returning!!

Duck Boozle Bowl
Christine M.

A quaint restaurant near Zoo Tampa. About a 4 min drive. My family and I came across this place on our way home from the Zoo. Upon entering we sat ourselves and a young lady came over to let us know we need to order at the counter. She was nice enough to also bring us menus. We ordered the following: Fresh Rolls- 4/5- Traditional and Shrimp. Both were elevated by the sauce provided. Duck Boozle Bowl- 4/5- all ingredients were fresh. The duck was not what we expected especially for the price. It was chopped sautéed pieces of duck meat. Almost seemed like a ground duck texture but wasn't ground. Seafood Pho- 4/5- it was flavorful and included mussels, shrimp and calamari. The shrimp seemed to be sliced down the middle making the portion of shrimp included appear to be more. Soursop Smoothie- 5/5- Great tropical taste and not overly sweet. A hint of sweetness which was perfect for me. Vietnamese Coffee with toffee- 5/5 the toffee was light, airy and had a cookie crunch to it. The coffee was perfect. Thai Tres Leches Cake- 3/5- the Thai tea flavor lacked. It just had the color of the tea but tasted like a lightly sweetened regular tres leches cake. Ube Chocolate Chip Cookie- 3/5- again the Ube flavor lacked. It tasted like a normal chocolate chip cookie. It was also lightly sweetened which I appreciated.

Great pho spot with an awesome deal, 50% off large pho on Tuesdays! You order at the counter, get a number, and your meal is brought to your table. Heads up: parking is limited during dinner hours, so street parking might be your best bet. Don't miss out on their delicious treats, including gluten-free cookie options. My favorite is the pistachio cookies. SO GOOD! What I ordered: - Traditional Fresh Rolls: Tiger shrimp, sesame pork, cucumber, mint, chive, & peanut sauce - Chicken Pho: Poached chicken breast - Bamboozle Bakes Cookies: pistachio

Good pho. Great for lunch. Enjoyed everything we had. Only disappointment is we wanted to sit outside but the furniture was very worn.

Well-established, authentic Vietnamese cuisine. I believe they've been here for nearly 20 years. I…read moreonly stopped in for a boba tea to-go this time, but I'd definitely come back to eat the next time I'm in the area. The seating is simple: just tables and chairs, nothing fancy, which honestly is usually a good sign. They also have grab-and-go spring rolls along with other treats and drinks available. The wait staff is incredibly friendly and genuinely seems to enjoy what they do!

This place always has the best authentic pho and banh mi sandwiches in Tampa Bay at a great price…read more I ordered a pho tai and pork banh mi for takeout and warmed everything up at home. The pho tai was so comforting, and they were generous with their potions of meat and veggies as compared to other places. The broth for was well flavored and rich in taste, the noodles were soft and thin. The ratio between the noodles and broth were perfect. The pork banh mi I had for lunch another day. I added a fried egg on top since that's my favorite addition to eat with banh mis in general. The bread was cripsy on the outside and soft on the inside, and they were generous with their portions of pork and veggies. The egg added a saucy element to it, and helped to create a more hearty and comforting meal. Wish I got more sandwiches for lunches the following days.

My mom and I were so excited to try the only Vietnamese AYCE in Florida. We came in on a Saturday…read moreand the place was packed/busy, rightfully so! There are a total of 8 stations. 6 of which are savory foods, 1 dessert station, and 1 drinks station. We tried items we'd never had before and some classics. Our savory standouts were their mussels with scallions, bahn xeo (this fried savory shrimp crepe with scallions, & beans sprout), chao long (rice porridge with pork - so rich & delicious!), goi ga (insane chicken salad - has a nice lime and ginger sauce and topped with fried garlic and fried shallots. Not a salad girl at heart, but I loved this one), bahn tam bi (noodles with warm coconut cream, pork, pickled carrots+daikon, bean sprouts, lettuce, and toasted rice powder - it's savory, tangy, sweet, and herby, perfect), and their meats (chicken curry, lemongrass chicken, and braised beef). They also had a drinks station with milk tea, sweet tea, and water. For dessert, (forgive me I didn't take note of the name), we got a warm Mung bean rice pudding with coconut cream. Sweet, warm, comforting, a nice chew with the mung beans. We had some with and without the agar jelly. Both versions were excellent. The agar jelly adds another layer of texture and a coffee flavor. What a great experience. When I'm in the Tampa area, I'll definitely be back.

I was excited to try a Vietnamese buffet since they're hard to find, and I enjoyed being able to…read moresample a variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes in one place. I visited twice,once for lunch and once for dinner, and found that the selection was pretty much exactly the same both times, The pho is only on weekends, dry noodles and meat are pre-portioned into bowls, and the broth wasn't hot enough to properly warm the meat or soften the noodles, leaving them on the dry side instead of tender...I couldn't finish my bowl The bánh xèo was nice and crispy but quite oily and only had 1-2 pieces of shrimp. Some dishes were flavorful and fresh, while others seemed like they had been sitting out for a while and weren't kept hot enough. The standout dishes for me were the rice congee, bánh cuốn, chicken wings, and the caramelized fish. Those were well done and the reason I'd consider coming back. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were attentive. Overall, it's worth trying at least once if you're curious about a Vietnamese buffet, but compared to many of the excellent Vietnamese restaurants in the Tampa Bay area, I still prefer ordering freshly made dishes over the buffet. With a little more variety, hotter food, and a few quality improvements, this place could easily be a worth the price. * Weekdays: $24/adult, kids are half price * Weekends: $29/adult, kids are half price *4 and under free
