    Ca kho to
    Danielle D.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Wow wow WOW!! I have not had Vietnamese food this good since I moved here from California in 2020. Service was just as amazing. Warm, friendly, FAST! Can't wait to come back and try all the items!

    This is a hidden Jem! Broth is so flavorful and they don't go light on the noodles! Meat tasted fresh @ they gave us all the fix'ins. Staff was so friendly, will be coming here again!

    The atmosphere was upbeat, there was vietnamese music playing on the tv screens. Yet the place wasn't clean, the dishes were dirty and there was some black stuff on it that I had to wipe off. The service was questionable. I had to call over the servers to order my food multiple times, it was hard to find a server available to take my order. I had the Hủ Tiếu Xào Bông cải carrot it wasn't as good as the noodles as it lacked the fried flavor and wok smell that I was aiming for. The Bô Lúc Lác did not have that much meat, the portion was small and mainly just leafy greens like watercrest, onions, and tomatoes to fill the plate. The fried rice was good, it had the wok smell and was hot and fresh. It could've been better if it was moist since the fried rice was very dry. The Canh Chua Cá/Sweet and Sour soup was very good. The soup was sweet and not too sour. The fish was also cooked perfectly and buttery and smooth. Yet, the orca was not cooked and hard to eat, like it was just tossed in before I got my food. I also ordered a Taro bubble tea Without crystal boba and a honeydew With boba. Yet, both bobas were Not fully blended as there was still boba powder that I could taste and take out in both drinks? My taro had bubble boba in it even though I did not order it. The boba drinks seemed rushed and not properly prepared. At the end, there was at least some complimentary chè.

    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!

    Chicken pho ga

    I had the chicken pho ga. It was so delicious. Well seasoned and I loved all the veggies that was in it. The service was great and the ambiance was very relaxing. I will definitely be visiting here again.

    Craving a boba drink & happened to be in the area. Ordered a fruit tea & it was very refreshing. Freshly made to order & fast. Very small restaurant. Will have to come back & try the foods here.

    Pho

    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.

    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.

The Ramen is okay, but it just doesn't hit like before. The restaurant was a laid back vide with Japanese inspired themes and music in the background. Our server points us to our table and hands us menus to start. We always start out with an edamame appetizer and then go ahead and order the ramen. My partner got the spicy tonkatsu and I had wanted to do the "make your own ramen" option. I really wanted wagyu but didn't like the toppings it came with. So I just made my own, though it was very costly to add more toppings, so I just chose 2. Overall, the experience was okay. It's not the worse ramen place I've been to but I'll probably only swing my when it's out of convenience

    Don't sleep on this restaurant just because it's at the Hard Rock Casino - Jubao Palace Noodle Bar…read moreslaps so good, it will make you "hit" on a hard 20. After being here a few times, Jubao Noodle Bar is where it's at and truthfully do fine by itself without the casino. So at this point, you should already know that Jubao Noodle Bar is located within the Seminole Hard Rock Casino & Hotel - Tampa. However, it should be recognized that navigating the casino floor does get frustrating. The easiest point of reference is to first understand that the base casino floor is essentially separated into two parts (Part one is where the curved escalators and hotel towers are at and part 2 is the larger part, containing the Hard Rock Cafe and the majority of the table games). Jubao Palace Noodle Bar is located right after the point where the hall from part one connects to part 2. Clear as mud right? Now that you've successfully navigated here, it should be noted that the line and wait can get ridiculous. Not sure if there are specific times when it gets super busy, but it seems like it doesn't die down after lunch hours hit. The small size and amount of tables doesn't necessarily accommodate to the traffic. Be prepared to wait. Speaking of tables, there are several regular tables that seat up to 4 patrons, however the majority of the seating are high tops and bar seating. Don't be alarmed if you get paired at the high tops with other random patrons. The menu itself is very simple, but I can assure you that you can't really go wrong with any of the choices. My "go-to's" are usually the roast duck noodle soup (with egg noodles) and any of the fried rice (crab is the best though). They do offer snow pea leaves which is a Cantonese cuisine classic. It's a great restaurant that is overshadowed by the venue that it's located in.

My latest birthday he picked Hales Blackbrick as he knew I never had dim sum before so thought a nice dinner with higher end dim sum would be just the trick. Walking into the place was a little crazy for me because I had been to that location when it was previously owned by others and I could still see some of the same things from before, though I gotta say, for turning it into a high end restaurant, some of the things they left should have been removed to fit the setting and price point. We started out with their family tradition egg rolls that is over 100 years old. We did the dim sum tower as we figured that would be the best way to try multiple styles and then we ordered the fried rice, which Ben knowing me knew I'd rather have it with the lobster option BUT I actually was fine without it because that would mean the fried rice would have been $50.00, but since it was my birthday, he ordered it anyway. Now, since I had not had dim sum before I am not sure if it was just theirs or if all are like this but ours were very watery when we would bite into them. I basically held up a small plate under my chin so that I didn't get any juice on my face or clothes. Didn't seem right to me and even Ben mentioned it and I know he has had them a few times. Also, out of the 3 different styles we got, it was difficult to make out which one was which as they were pretty bland. The rice was good but the small meat of the lobster tail was not worth the extra costs they charged for it and as I thought, the plain rice would have been fine with me.
