Said it before and I'll say it again, best PHO in Tampa! I love coming here on cold gloomy days this Pho is so flavorful and brings me back to life! Huge portion and quick service! Small cozy restaurant tucked away in a small plaza located on the corner of DaleMabry and Waters! FYI bring cash as if you pay by card they charge a fee since it's a small mom and pop place. read more

The good: shaken beef and nice servers. The ok: ca kho to (clay pot fish) fish is bland unless drowning in sauce, they needed to be marinate longer. Quails were nicely flavored but it was just 2 quails, cut in halves... more veggies than meat to fill up the plate. Fried chicken was done right on the outer layer, nicely crispy but what happened to the inside flavor? Like it was brined for too long. The bad: crispy tofu, crispy yes, flavor was almost non existent. Fried rice was so dryyy, it's not even crispy, just dry, needed more salt. The rau muong xao toi (morning glory) was bland, need more seasoning, tasted more steamed than stirfried. read more

Great service and food! I always stop in for some coffee with milk when I visit the market next store. Their Vietnamese coffee is the BEST in town. They are quick to take your order and getting to go is always speedy. They take great care packing up your items individually as well (see photo). When I do take time to stay and eat, it never disappoints. They staff is friendly, very quick, and the food is delicious. I highly recommend if you haven't tried their pho yet! The inside is so cute and inviting and you will always be greeted as soon as you walk in read more

Fantastic establishment with hefty portions and delicious food. We walked in before a mid afternoon rush the inside had a good amount of seating that filled up relatively quickly, despite that we got our food shortly after ordering. Word of caution the large portion of pho is in fact very large, not necessarily more meat but definitely more broth and noodles. So if more meat is what you're looking for just order a side of that. The sauces on the table were amazing, finally a chili oil that tasted like something! The server was very attentive and the tv screen with the Vietnam slide show was cool to watch. Will definitely be back soon, this is the place to beat! read more

I've been itching to check out this place and finally got an opportunity. I've had friends tell me how good it is and boy I should've come sooner. I love a good pho with tendons and this place hit the spot. **Mic drop** I wish I had more to say but I think that the ratings speaks for itself. Go try it out! read more

Don't ever go there. The service is absolutely horrible, and the owner is terrible. First, they forgot one of the dishes we ordered, and we had to even remind them that they forgot it. The waitress and owner were both terrible (which made us even more mad that they added a 18% gratuity fee for such horrible service). We wouldn't even have given tip in the first place because the service was horrible, yet they forced it down our bill. They are also not organized because they didn't even bring out water or utensils for us to eat our food. Also, they seated us with people despite our party being a big size, which made us uncomfortable eating. The food is nothing special, not good but not the worst. The worst part of coming today was the service. They seated us like beggars by squishing us together with other people. One of the staff even yelled at my cousin in Vietnamese "why are you so dirty" for accidentally spilling the nuoc mam. And the waiter also told us to sit down because they had a table ready, but they didn't even have chairs fully available for us. So when we asked for chairs, they gave us an attitude. Please don't ever go here. The food is bad (nothing special), service is terrible, and they are so unorganized and rude. The owner and waitresses were dirty and rude. This environment is just dirty because they swipe the food down in the floor. Also the dishes weren't fully clean because they have food stains in them. read more

Viet Kitchen - $6.95 Fruit Tea - Vietnamese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Authentic! My husband said this was one of the top three bowls of pho he has had in his life--chock full of meat and a delicious broth. I had a healthy but tasty dish of stir-fried tofu, mushrooms, bean sprouts, green onions and carrots. We also had mango bubble tea with plenty of boba. The tofu summer roll was just OK. When we asked questions about the desserts, the friendly owner gave us complimentary a sticky rice/corn confection and another with taro. Interesting but tasty. read more

My friend brought me to this little restaurant for the first time this weekend. It's in a small plaza with just a couple of other businesses, I've driven past this place many times but I've never noticed it was there. The look of the plaza is a bit run down, but the inside of this restaurant is very cute and aesthetically pleasing. It's very welcoming, as far as the decor is concerned. I ordered the chicken pho - it was delicious. The broth is flavored nicely and it came with a very good serving of chicken and noodles with all of the extras on the side. I also ordered the thai tea with boba - the boba they gave me was not the traditional tapioca, it was like a fruit jelly which wasn't what I asked for, but the thai tea itself tasted good. My friend ordered the crab fried rice - I tried some and it was really tasty. My one complaint with this place is the service. We had to wave our hands to flag down our server - and even that didn't work sometimes. They were not very attentive at all. The only time they came to our table at any point was when we went out of our way to get their attention and call them over. I'll be back for the pho and fried rice - the food really is quite good, but if the service isn't great next time then I'll likely be ordering to-go moving forward. read more

**do not go here. seriously.** i came here simply wanting to try something new. i walked in and politely told the woman at the front that i would like to sit down and eat. she flat out said "no." thinking there was a misunderstanding, i repeated myself. again, she said no and told me i could only order to-go. i asked why i wasn't allowed to sit down, and she completely avoided the question. i repeated back to her that she was telling me i could not sit down and eat, and she nodded yes -- still without making any eye contact or offering any explanation. as a woman of color, this experience felt extremely uncomfortable and discriminatory. there was no clear reason given, no professionalism, and no basic respect. i left shocked, disappointed, and honestly relieved that this business did not get my money. i will never return and would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

This is where you go if you want an authentic family style Vietnamese meal. I was missing this kind of food so much and I'm so glad this restaurant offered it. Definitely recommend! You can get classics like pho and spring rolls, but also authentic dinner food like canh chua and ca kho. Wow! The food is delicious, just like eating at mom's or grandma's. Prices are reasonable. Service is fast and staff is friendly. read more

Top 3 dishes here: Pho Shaking beef fried rice Clam steamed with lemongrass Let's not take my word for the pho, rather if my father says the pho is good, you better order it! He gets the pho here every time and it's consistently steaming hot, aromatic broth, perfectly tender brisket. I love the shaking beef (bo luc lac) at Viet Kitchen. It's a signature Vietnamese dish. The smokiness and black pepper seasoning is delicious. What makes Viet Kitchen different from other Vietnamese restaurants is the seafood! Grilled snails, oysters, clams. My favorite is the succulent clams with lemongrass. If you like steamed mussels, try the clams and taste that herb infused broth. They recently added bun bo hue to the menu too. A spicy beef and pork noodle soup, divine. Pho's sexy cousin as some may call it. There is also a variety of desserts so check those out! And right net door is Lien Hoa market. Two gems in one parking lot. read more

My brother and I have been here twice. The first time the servers were very attentive and nice. This time around 5 pm today, they were nice but not as attentive. They were in the kitchen laughing and watching stuff on their phones. One of them was on her phone at the front counter. We sat there for 40 minutes after got our food without them asking us if our food was good or if we needed anything. They were attentive when we were getting ready to leave, my brother had to go up to the counter and ask our server for To go boxes and the check. She gave us two desserts for 'free,' and it was because we didn't get good service. Other than that the food was delicious. Besides that the food was so good we can't complain. There was some crumbs on our seat, and on the floor where we sat, but the ambiance was pretty and the severs kept it very clean and tidy for the most part. read more

First I have to say is YES YES YES! This restaurant sits at the corner of the Lien Hoa market and is easy to find but the turn to get into the plaza might get you if you're not familiar with the area. The restaurant is a bit small if you're going to have a big party of just enough to host a good amount of parties of 2-4 people. Staff were very attentive and menu wasn't overbearing. We got the spring rolls, fried rice and pho. Our spring rolls didn't come out but it was fine since I was full by the time we paid for our bill. Pho: 5/5! Didn't even need the condiments! Only thing that would make it much better is the portion as it's kind of small. Fried Rice: 5/5! Just a mouthful of flavor! So freaking good! Did I mention that the food out fast?! Another plus! Staff apologized for our spring rolls not coming out but it all worked out since I was already full and she gave us 2 free desserts! They've been opened since 2020 and I can't believe I'm just finding out about this place! It's a yes for me forever and I'm going back soon! 5/5 stars is sometimes hard to find but it was so easy here! Thank you, Viet Kitchen! read more

I haven't been here for the longest time but have been craving it for a while. Luckily there weren't many people there. Must get the green mango salad, reminds me of papaya salad but so much better. Def getting that again. Tilapia was another favorite especially topped with aromatic lemongrass and chilies. Salt & pepper prawn was ok, while the shrimp was crunchy, the dish lacked flavor. It did go well with mango salad. Overall, loved it. Def coming back for more read more

Really hit the spot after days of theme park food! Great pho broth and liked how you can choose your toppings. Huge portions of flank and chicken. Iced coffee was fantastic. Coming from California, I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty everything was. Good service and clean restaurant. Plaza is a bit run down but don't let that deter you. read more

This place is soooooo good! The pho was great and so was the rice meat platter. My parents and grandparents are still talking about this place and it's only been a few hours... and they wanna come back! Too bad we live far from Tampa and are only here for a visit. The staff were kind and very helpful! The decor is very put together! Love it! FYI: parking can be tight. So big cars/trucks will be hard to navigate in the parking lot. read more

Food was great. I ordered the Green Mango Salad with Shrimp and the Soup Canh Chua made with talapia. Super busy with local Asian population which is usually a good sign. The Green Mango Salad with Shrimp got me off guard. I didn't realize how much I would like it. This was a great stand in for noodles! I felt a little out of place when I walked in there but they treated me well and their service was great considering how busy they were. If you are in the mood for something different, this place won't disappoint. read more

We ate the traditional Vietnamese family meal. Its was great. The service was very pleasant.

On Dec. 31st, I visited Viet Kitchen intending to dine in after seeing positive online reviews. Despite the dining area being open, occupied by other customers, and having available seating, I was told by a staff member that I could not sit down and was only allowed to order to go. When I asked for an explanation, none was provided, and the staff member avoided eye contact. As a woman of color, I experienced this refusal of service as discriminatory, as other patrons were clearly being allowed to dine in. read more

We were traveling from CA to Tampa Bay. My friend recommended this restaurant to me. We ordered the Shrimp and mango salad and Sweet & sour fish soup ( canh chua cá) cá kho tộ. I don't know how to translate it to English The Mango shrimp salad tasty with a good combination of the fish sauce with sugar and lemon juice , perfect combination! so good! Canh chua cá kho tộ good but for my taste I wanted a little bit more sugar in the canh chua and cá kho tộ. If they add a little bit pork belly to the cá kho tộ and cooked it a little bit longer so the caramel & fish sauce made a fish tasty. If you 're traveling to Tampa- Florida and you want to eat Vietnamese food Viet kitchen is a place for you. The restaurant is a Vietnamese style and the staff were friendly and attentive. read more

Pretty decent takeout we had. Food was ready for the promised time. Would go back again to try other items.

I hesitate to do this review, the food is so authentic and delicious, the place is small and always busy. The day will come where I will have to wait for a table. This is my favorite place for Viet food. The Hot Pots are amazing, both visually and in flavor. Their Pho is 2nd to none and a few of my faves are the Shaking Beef, Oxtail Pho, Goat Hot Pot and the Whole Fried Fish w/ Tamarind Sauce. The variety is exciting, I keep finding new dishes on their 3 menus, and with a large market next door they have access to an envious assortment of fresh ingredients. I enjoy the assortment of Asian desserts and drinks. I always get their ice tea, they come in flavors like oolong, green and black. Located in a strip center on Waters near N. Dale Mabry, parking is out front and shared with the market. Prices are reasonable and servings huge. Don't take my table. read more

Just moved from California and this place has Great flavor and service. My new favorite place to eat pho.

Nothing here was bad, but I also can't say anything was particularly good. Went here because Tien Anh and Saigon Deli were closed. The egg rolls were fresh but definitely way overcooked. The bun bo hue had weird, unappetizing bits of pork belly, which I know isn't normal because I am Vietnamese and have grown up eating these all my life. Pho was decent. Staff were nice. Their seafood dishes looked promising however! read more
