Moved here a couple of months ago. My daughter and I are fans of Vietnamese food. This was our first attempt to find a good Vietnamese restaurant. Search is over. The food was excellent, and the service was even better. My daughter said the Pho broth was delicious. I had a rice dish with pork, pork skin, and Vietnamese meatloaf. The pork was awesome, the vegetables were fresh, and their chili sauce is really really good. Try this place. You won't be disappointed.
Hands down one of the best pho places I have been to, and I have been all over the place! I'm very sensitive and the broth has never given me a headache which is a good sign of little to no msg. It tastes authentic, and the tendons are always well done - soft and flavorful with an ample amount. The price is average but the small serving portion is big enough for me to have two meals! Servers are sincere, friendly, and never make it seem like you're a hassle. I have eaten here late before and even then we reassured to take my time to enjoy my meal. I would highly recommend this place and hope this small family-owned business takes off, just as it deserves!
This place gets 7 stars out of 5 from us.The service was outstanding despite there being only 1 server, 2 menus, 3 places that all work together, tons of to go orders, phones running, people coming and going and more people dining in. John (not sure if that is the correct spelling because he did pronounce it differently) was amazing and well worth the $20.00 tip on a $76.00 meal. I don't leave those kind of tips often. He was amazing.The pricing of the food was decent for comparison to other restaurants.The food was absolutely amazing. Vietnamese egg rolls was smaller than I like but the taste was insanely good.The P3 Pho Large was outstanding. It's the first time in 15 years I've seen my wife finish her bowl of soup when we go eat pho.The octopus sashimi was beautiful coming out and the taste did not disappoint.The Sononuma (I think that's what it was called) had way too much dressing for my liking. Half the bowl was dressing. They could put a 10th of the dressing in there and it would be better but, after I dumped the dressing out, the taste was still fantastic.The Thai tea, was top notch. Even the pink lemonade was good and I'm sure that is a result of keeping everything clean which brings me to my next point. This place gets 5 stars on cleanliness. The tables were clean, the menus were clean. I did not check out the bathroom and I should have but you can see the counters where they make the food and the chef preparing the sashimi kept it clean as they were making the food.Don't let the outside sway you because the restaurant on the outside looks like a hole in the wall and kind of a dive but the food is top notch and the service was even better.It's a 40 minute drive and we will come back here again and we will bring our friends.
Amazing thai food!!
It was ok I had chicken wings with Cajun dry rub and medium hot sauce on the side the chicken was dry and not as spicy as I expected.
Excellent Vietnamese and sushi restaurant. Adjacent to and shares kitchen with Nickel City Sports Bar.
We ate here for the first time in July. We didn't care for the Spring Rolls but loved the Beef Wrapped in Betel Leaves. My grilled squid entree was disappointing but my husband loved his Lemongrass Tofu Stir Fry. Since they have such a large menu selection we decided to give them a second try. First of all, the dining room was not as "clean" as our first visit and we arrived shortly after they opened for lunch so obviously did not clean from the night before. We ordered the Betel Leaves again and they were totally different from our initial visit and were not nearly as good or tasteful. We both ordered Pho this time. My rare beef was what one would expect. My husband loved the tender Beef tendon and tripe. However, the soup base itself was very, very bland. In our opinion, a terrific Pho broth should only require adding the garnishments (bean sprouts, basil, lime, jalapeno, cilantro) and maybe making it a bit more spicy to one's taste. This broth required a lot of doctoring up with the condiments on the table. We added a lot of lime juice, hot chili oil, soy, and siracha to "finally" get the broth to have some flavor to it. We have had Pho at many places around Tampa Bay and throughout our travels. Good Pho doesn't require any effort to make it taste GOOD. Plus, had to ask our server THREE times for lime for our water. We won't go back!
Pho Quyen is one of the restaurant in the area. This restaurant is my third choice when craving for Vietnamese soup. Broth is ok but Tasty Pho is better.
First, ignore the review regarding the ONE roach someone saw in the restaurant. I grew up in Florida and no matter how clean you keep your home, a roach or palmetto bug is bound to appear sooner or later. Usually it happens when you have company for dinner. So no matter how clean and how often you have your home or business treated for insects, it's not 100% guaranteed to be bug free. Now if there where multiple bugs, that would be a different story. For appetizers, we had the Fresh Spring Rolls and the Beef Wrapped in Betel Leaves. The rolls were just OK, nothing special. We have had better and more tasty ones elsewhere so we would not order them again. On the other hand, the stuffed Betel leaves were absolutely delicious and so different from anything we have had before at a Vietnamese restaurant. Definitely try these! For entrees, I had the Grilled Squid Rice Vermicelli bowl and my husband had the Tofu Stir Fried with Lemongrass. Both came hot out of the kitchen, fresh ingredients and were delicious. I was a bit disappointed in the squid as I expected them to be char grilled and have grill marks along with that grilled flavor They did not. While it was good, I would choose a different protein for that dish the next time. Overall the food and service were fantastic. Prices extremely reasonable. Plus the menu provides you a huge selection of items and possible combinations that you could go there every day and never eat the same thing twice. Definitely a must try!
Only been here once and got the food to go. The Pho was very good and got a lot of it! Look forward to going back.
