Zom Hee continues to be our go-to spot for classic, sit-down Chinese cuisine. Whether we're dining in and enjoying the relaxed atmosphere or stopping by for takeout like we did today, the experience is consistently excellent. The food, as always, was outstanding -- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Every dish tastes like it's made with care, and the portions are generous without sacrificing quality. It's increasingly rare to find a place that delivers this level of consistency year after year. Even with takeout, everything was packaged well, hot, and ready right on time. And the value is hard to beat -- high quality food at a very reasonable price. Thank you for continuing to keep your standards high and your food at the top of its game. We'll be back again soon. read more

I would consider Zom Hee a classic style Chinese restaurant. It is not the same style of Chinese food you get from takeout. I have been here twice and I think it's fantastic. The restaurant has a very old classic Chinese restaurant feel. It opened in 1985 and it looks like they haven't changed any of the decor since then. Service is attentive and courteous. Spicy dishes are offered in different levels (mild, medium, or hot). I ordered the Mandarin Style Pork hot, and it was very hot. I loved it but I was sweating while eating it so beware. If you want a little heat you're better off ordering medium. Most entrees are served on metal serving dishes making it easy to share them family style amongst the table. Lastly, the cocktails are served in unique glasses and tiki mugs. It's just another throwback to what I consider classic Chinese restaurant style and it's a lot of fun. I highly recommend Zom Hee for great Chinese food that is different from takeout. read more

We ate here recently and my husband and I were hugely disappointed after reading all of the rave reviews. The food was bland and oily. Our spicy tofu was not remotely spicy and we specifically asked for it to be medium heat. Service was good and the ambience was exactly as expected. We feel that this place is overpriced and overhyped. read more

It had been a while since I last visited and on the way out yesterday it became clear why. I had the Chicken with broccoli which was mislabeled and should have been Broccoli with chicken scraps and been on a near vegan menu. The sauce was passible but there wasn't an ounce and a half of chicken bits. read more

worst experience ever from service to food, then overcharged from the menue price. Went to pay and was told its the computer told them void and redo. kept telling me not that much more and laughs. read more

Perfect old school Chinese with red leather type booths. Haven't dined like this in years and loved it! Fabulous and extensive drink menu. Plenty of vegetarian options. Fantastic service. Highly recommend! read more

Consistent food, fair pricing considering what take out chinese places cost for 1/2 the quality. One of the few places that actually has the GOOD brown fried rice, crunchy noodles, and the sweet & sour chicken is an actually breaded filet sliced with veggies and pineapple in the sauce. Not nuggets. Super friendly professional staff, good banter but not over the top, and they visit the tables just enough. Great chill vibe, quiet, no modern music and almost never hear crying kids. Good family spot or date location. Bar is a cool touch. I waited about 6 months before reviewing and the service is consistent. read more

I love this place! Old school (like me). One of our favorite comfort food places. Great quantities of excellent food. Definitely enough to take for an additional (or two) lunch or dinner at home. Beef Szechuan and Hung Shu Chicken this time were great. The pre-dinner pickled vegetables were very good too. The cocktail lounge and vintage drinks are amazing. I had a Tahitian's Scorpion (which I probably would never have anywhere else). It even came with a little umbrella. Our server was good. Food came out pretty quickly. The lanterns and ornate ceiling tiles and general decor make for a wonderful ambiance. Great date night dinner out place. read more

Zom Hee is out go to place but this visit Inhave to give it 3 stars. The food and drinks are spectacular as always, but the service and wait time was sub par. Our server was very friendly but o my came to the table maybe 3 times. Never got a drink refill or order. The owner had to go and find my husband's drink from bar. Then my husband had to go to bar to order next round of drinks. The food took about 45 min to come out. The server explained the chef had retired and they had a new one still learning the ways. That is understandable, but the lack of service was not. We will go back again but will wait awhile before we do so they can get some of their kinks worked out. read more

Ordered Zom Hee for Chinese Food on Christmas!! Gotta love a Jewish tradition! This was the best Chinese food I've had in my 10 years in Tampa Bay. It was absolutely perfect. Great portions, delicious food. I got the Christmas combo with beef/broccoli and pork fried rice. I couldn't tell that there was pork in the fried rice, but it was yummy regardless. The egg roll was large, the beef was delicious and not slimy like I find it can be at some places, and there was a fair amount of the meat too. I tried the crab rangoon (yum!) and the rest of my friends really enjoyed their meals and the dumplings. Overall, an ideal Chinese food experience! When we came in to pick up our order, we had planned for it to take some time and be takeout only. There were quite a few people waiting. We ended up waiting about 30 minutes for our order after ordering 3 days in advance. read more

Easily one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever been to. It's tucked into a strip mall so looks can be deceiving. For starters the service was outstanding. The severs name was Yoko and she was great. The food was top notch. I had the sesame chicken with white rice and it was delicious. I also sampled the fried rice and the garlic shrimp and both were great. Everyone in our party was very happy with the food. Lastly the decor was great. Very retro looking. Felt like the 80's again lol. Highly recommended. read more

We go there often. Sit at the bar. Jing knows we always have a bottle of Pino Grigio. The food is outstanding. Very authentic. Love the wonton/egg drop soup and our favorite meal is the Mei Fung. Always interesting conversations at the bar. read more

Love the atmosphere & the food ! old school vibe - great cocktails and food was really good

A favorite for many, many years. Called 15 minutes before closing and they kindly fulfilled our takeout order. Enjoyed the fried rice, pork lo mein, egg rolls and crab rangoons. Fast, friendly and tasty! read more

I've eaten here at Zom Hee plenty of times and I've had nothing much to add to my five star glowing review of my first visit. This time my meal was so exceptionally nice I had to update my review. Started off with a St Petersburg Sling cocktail which is served in a tiki style mug (see picture). Tasty as well as cute. I also ordered the bbq pork appetizer (which I get every time I am here) and for my entree I tried the seafood platter. The seafood platter ($22.95) while not the most expensive dish on the menu is at the high end of their entrees and well worth it! Most seafood platters have more vegetables than seafood. The Zom Hee seafood platter has more seafood than I've ever had in an entree anywhere! Our server, Julia, was also a treat. Excellent service without intruding on our conversation or on enjoying our meal. read more

Lunch on 12/7/23 Cuz and I made a trip to our favorite, back in the day type, Chinese restaurant in the Clearwater. Walking in, and sitting in the retro red leather booths, I'm back in the day schmoozing, and sitting for hours at our favorite table, drinking gallons of hot tea (leave the lid up on the pot so they know when you need a refill), and ordering every appetizer on the menu... Ah, the the good old days, when they knew how to make the mustard hot enough for your head to explode, and the really thick duck sauce (made out of real duck), only kidding. Anyhow Cuz, and I enjoyed, really enjoyed their delicious bar bq spare ribs, which are huge, so meaty, and succulent. I had of shrimp Egg Foo Young, and my dear cousin had Double Luck Chow Yuk; shrimp, beef, mixed vegetables in a house brown sauce we, shared and we both enjoyed the two entrees. Z H's soups are really good, I had hot and sour this trip and it was excellent. I'll be back in the area in a few weeks and guess where I'm coming back to eat...? read more

It's difficult to find gluten free Asian food, but they have it here! I ordered the Beef with black mushroom made gluten free. So good.

This restaurant has always been my family's go to for good Chinese food.We drive 35 miles to go there because it has been that good. Tonight, no one liked there dish. It was bland and very ordinary. I hope this was just a bad night and that nothing has changed for the worst. Everything usually taste made in house,but Tonight it tasted like Sysco supplied everything. I will play Chinese baseball and only give them 2 strikes. It better be like it was or your out! read more

Food was hot and delicious. Service was very good and I look forward to going back. Enjoyed the chicken lo mein and crab rangoons.

Classic Chinese restaurant, fantastic sit-down meal experience...old school, the antithesis of a storefront takeout store. The menu is expansive and filled with great dishes. Service is impeccable and the whole staff is jovial and welcoming. read more

I've been going there for years now and the food is wonderful the restaurant is wonderful and the service is fantastic

It's like walking into a NY Chinese restaurant. All my memories fulfilled. And the food- the best!!! Wonton soup even had the scallions! If you're a transplanted New Yorker you will not be disappointed. Worth the drive from anywhere! Service exceptional! Ambience amazing! read more

Took my son, his girlfriend, and her family. Food was amazing and plentiful. Noise level was perfect we could all converse without yelling

By far the BEST Chinese food you will find outside of NYC. We love this restaurant, the owner, the servers, the drinks, everything about this place is great. Please- if you like Chinese food- go here and try it. Everything is good. You will get a lot of hot tea and water to start. The hot tea is so good. I have been obsessed with the Singapore Curry Noodles (says spicy but it's not)- they come with shrimp. This dish is huge and so very good. My son loves their regular curry and my husband gets something new every time. Their drinks are fantastic too! Try the St. Pete sling. It's very tasty (and strong). Their Mai tais are good and I've been tempted to ask for a "Harvey Wallbanger" because I have never seen it on a menu before but they have it and am a fan of the movie "Date Night" (if you haven't seen it- watch it!). I still don't know what's it in and haven't ordered it yet! Haha. Add this restaurant to your list of must try places and there is a reason it was named best Chinese restaurant in Florida- because it is. read more

I was very disappointed. First time eating here, chosen because it had good ratings and the restaurant was packed but the food did not meet expectations. Dumplings were burnt and did not come with ponzu sauce. Singapore rice noodles were extremely bland and did not seem like they were cooked in a wok, it was borderline spaghetti textured. Honey chicken had little glaze on them, also lacking flavor. Salt and pepper shrimp was probably the better one of them all but that's not saying much. It was just breaded shrimp and again no flavor. I didn't feel like I was eating Chinese food and will most likely not be returning. read more

If we are going on atmosphere only, this is a five all day long. Set in a strip mall, once you walk inside, you think you are in the late 70's in New York. This place is a time capsule to a golden age. Photos of Bill Clinton and Jeb Bush welcome you in. The food is served in beautiful dishes, as are the speciality drinks (poured stiff and priced nice), but unfortunately the food does not match. Food is expensive, and just doesn't taste flavorful. This is NY Chinese food, not Cantonese, but with Cantonese prices. Go here for the drinks and atmosphere, but there are plenty of better spots for food. read more

We ordered take out as we were headed to see the Christmas lights in Largo . Never again . My husband ordered the General Tso chicken , he ordered it MEDIUM HOT, no HEAT at all . I ordered orange chicken also MEDIUM HOT , also NO HEAT . We ordered Crab Rangoons that tasted like FISH , instead of a sweet cream cheese crab mixture. We spent $45. With a $5 tip . Was disgusting , NEVER going there again . Ughhh hungry as the food was that nasty and we didn't eat it and it went in the trash . read more

The location is furnished like a classic sit down Chinese restaurant which is hard to find. The service is also traditional and friendly. The food is amazing, though beware the egg rolls have shrimp inside. We've enjoyed chicken and broccoli and Szechuan chicken as well as the fried rice and lo mein. It was understandably busy on a Saturday night, which is a good indication the food is consistently good. read more

Visited on a Sunday evening. Service and food were excellent. The only downside is that the early bird specials include wine and you can't substitute soda. If you're not a drinker, that's a bit unfair. read more

Zom Hee Chinese Restaurant - Beef and broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Seminole, Florida

We love this place! Huge menu and everything we have tried is delicious. We struggle to find good chinese food in Florida but this is it.

My family has been going there (or getting takeout) for at least 20 years. Kenny (owner) and his family are always friendly and the food is great. I happen to love their hot and sour soup which is spicy but doesn't have a lot of red chili oil like a lot of places use. Also love their beef and broccoli and cashew beef. My wife likes their honey chicken. read more

My family's been going to Zom Hee for a very long time, the food is always amazing. The service is unfounded and the decor takes you back to the old school Chinese restaurants. It's always a pleasure to eat there. The owner is always there at the door to welcome you with a big smile. read more

The restaurant is in business for 50 years and so as the deco. Very traditional American Chinese big restaurant. The menu also is back to that time era. Should visit for the fun/history/experience. Food presentation and taste are also back in the traditional way. Older generation loves this type of restaurant. read more

My go to for Chinese take out! I have a few favorites but always get the egg rolls but vary with sweet and sour chicken, egg drop soup, shrimp fried rice, General Tso's chicken and a list of others. I ordered the chicken and green beans and when I arrived, they told me that the green beans were not up to their standard so asked me what else would I like. That's how you set standards and keep both regular and new customers devoted to the food and service. read more

We ordered take out. Portions are large. The food was good, better than most local Chinese restaurants in the area. We're spoiled New Yorker's and so far this has been our best choice of many other places. Looked very authentic inside as I was picking up food. read more
