    N6. Grilled shrimp soup-less rice noodles
    Summerlin D.

    Our favorite neighborhood restaurant! We love coming here because it's within walking distance of our house. This place is always packed, but we are able to get a seat right away. Their service is super fast and the staff is extremely friendly. We got the grilled pork and the grilled shrimp for vermicelli noddle bowls. They both were yummy and had tons of flavor. I personally liked the grilled pork flavor better than the grilled shrimp. We can't wait to come back when it gets a little bit colder out and check out their pho. We kept seeing people order it and it looks so appetizing.

    Getting over a cold and came in for a soothing hot bowl of pho and they had fresh noodles that day! Pho Lovers is still my favorite pho in the St. Pete area. Consistent taste and these fresh noodles always hit the spot.

    This place has one of the best beef broths in the Tampa Bay Area. I love how i can get the beef bone too! It was only $10 and had a lot of tendon on it, which i love. I love the bone marrow broth it was very flavorful and delicious. The build your own bowl was good too! One of the guys working there was quick with service but i notice the other servers were not as attentive as him but they were still helpful. The restaurant wasn't fancy which doesn't matter to me. I love me a good mom and pop shop and it was clean which is always a plus!

    Build your own - fresh noodles, chicken broth and chicken

    I really loved the pho and would go here again. The waiter did try to push us not to get the build your own which was a little frustrating because the build your own is cheaper and I usually don't get anything other than chicken. But over all good experience. However, there were ants by the window.

    45 mintues drive doesnt disappointed us for the quality of their dishes. Food are amazing scrumptious. Service are exceptional until check out time! (To me, its kind of rude to question us for tipping- (we only tip cash instead of on credit card)).

    We enjoyed our dinner here. Felt very welcomed by the owners. Fish sauce wings were a standout and the other dishes we ordered were good too. Nice to have a place that serves Hainan Chicken!

    Great pho

    The best pho restaurant in Tampa and pinellas area. Soup is authentic and very tasty. Friendly atmosphere here. Come and enjoy the authentic Vietnamese pho.

    My son frequents here often on the weekends with his dad, so I decided to check out the special pho spot . There is another location on 34th which I think is a different owner. The perks are fresh noodles do come standard with each order instead of up charged. Customer service started off very attentive. Out of the three staff members that we saw I believe only one spoke English . Food and drinks came out quick. Seating area and booths are spacious and not crowded during the time we visited. Parking is one way in and one way out , mostly dirt roads. Take away is less protein offered here . We ordered an additional beef to add variety and was shocked that it came out in a little sauce plate with two pieces of beef. I asked him if this was correct ?as my son mentioned, he usually gets more meat when ordered. owner continued to say yes this is expensive meat... $16 a pound. This is 1 pound here. It's been a while since I measured food but according to my visual, it's nowhere near 1 pound. additionally, they would not give us a check prior to paying I was just told a total of $47. So pay before you can see what the breakdown of costs are basically . We have a little to go seafood restaurant in Tampa and this whole inflation on food prices is absurd. My dad has yet to increase his menu prices or cut down on quantity in 15 years while serving seafood. We are talking about noodles ,broth, chicken and beef here . $20 for a bowl of pho in a city with several other distinguished Vietnamese restaurants does not seem worth the value here . I could not finish my bowl because of the meat to noodles, proportion, happy with the artichoke and limeade drink. Anyways, I was not going to say anything because I do try to support our local Vietnamese restaurants . However , while paying for the 'check' that I did not receive the older lady, I believe to be his mother started to talk trash about me in Vietnamese. I will not repeat what she said, but I politely looked at her and said "i do understand Vietnamese by the way." I may not look Vietnamese, but I do understand more than one language. Anyhow, I do really like the special pho on 34th Ave. this review is not linked to that location possibly a different owner.

    The food was very authentic and savory. I really enjoyed the services provided at the restaurant. The pho was very good and I would recommend getting the bone marrow broth as well.

    The pho is ok, and you can pick your choice of noodles. The chicken rice was disappointing, it served regular rice.

    Special chili, garlic and lemon chicken jerky!

    I dropped by this Sunday afternoon to get some pho with handmade noodles for my wonderful wife! We've never had pho with handmade noodles so this was our special chance! Special Pho was recommended on the local Facebook group Tampa Bay Asian Foodies! I called ahead to place our to-go order and we ordered the special pho, pork vermicelli (my favorite), spring rolls and shredded pork rolls. I popped in to pick up our order and Tony kindly greeted me. The restaurant is absolutely spotless with an open kitchen. The AC is perfect and I was happy to be in such a clean, friendly and pleasing environment. While I waited, I saw on the counter some bags of dried chicken/chili/garlic/lemon leaves. It's called Kho Ga La Chanh! Whoa! What a fun combination! I got one of these bags to go also but we haven't tried it yet. On a whim, I asked Tony for some chili sauce and he provided a nice to go container of his homemade sauce. My wife was super pleased and said it was fantastic! Our meals were excellent even though we had to drive home 30 minutes and make a stop. My vermicelli with grilled pork and veggies is very well flavored. My wife totally enjoyed her pho and the noodles were homemade, fun and different than what we usually get! Life is great with a local Vietnamese restaurant with excellent food!

    Mini Kim Son in HTX if yall ever been. This place is located just about 45 mins away from DT Tampa…read more The food choices remind you of Vietnamese comfort food, so many endless options whether it's braised egg and pork, congee, chicken salad, Vietnamese rice rolls, Thai tea, pho noodle or whatever soup they have of the day, apparently their menus change. I also tried their Bo kho which is the beef stew, they have the mini Vietnamese tacos very crispy, and other options like the broken egg rice and vermicelli noodles to pair with pork and fish sauce. They also have banh bo lot which is a popular option people love to get as well as dessert options like making your own Che. Ambiance is a tight space, parking is also tight, you for feel crammed. However, it also gives that homey vibe like as if you're walking into your grandmothers home.. service was good, our plates were cleaned but they do rush you in a way if there's a wait for bigger parties. Unfortunately, it's a buffet style so you can't have dietary restrictions when you come here..

    Food was just meh. Highlights were pho, mussels and banh xeo, other than that nothing was really…read morewow or buffet worthy. They had soups in a ninja, other foods were just dry especially thit kho. The banh xeo was really crispy which was great but it had 1 small shrimp in it and a bit of bean sprouts. I think this restaurant has potential just needs professional looking cookware. Maybe add desserts or a drink station. For $25 it prob needed more especially since we made the drive from Clearwater (30+ mins)

LOL The dining room is very comfy & they play a lot of groovy techno music. It's a very upbeat good vibes place OuiOui. Anyhoo, I love coming here to stuff my face often, especially with their grilled pork chops OMG! :)... The other day I was here, Sir Hubbers knew I was here & text me & ask me to come immediately, he needed me to sign some papers... I had just ordered the Pork Chops & I had to get my pork chop packed up to go! I didn't even get to take one bite! I told him soon as I pack up my pork chops to go, I will come save you. So, I go over there & sure enough, he eats ALL my pork chops! Not half, ALL my pork chops. LOL Then, sends me to go get him pasta! (See photo of our ridiculous text conversations) LOLOLOLOL So, if you think we are eating too many pork chops we do not care. This is the pork chop hill we have decided to die on. LOL If you like pork chops, believe me, you have NEVER had any pork chops as good as these babies. WOZA! And if you don't believe me, that's okay too. We are slaying this Pork Chop hill all the way OuiOui. Leave us to our Pork Chop Heaven baby! To the death do us part OuiOui. lol Highest Recommendations.
