Good Fortune

★★★★☆ 3.6 (305) • $$

"I read the reviews before arriving and surmised that almost half of the patrons received poor service. Our experience was positive and the food was prepared perfectly and came out quickly. We will definitely go again and recommend to friends."

Fujiyama

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (118) • $$

"We have been to this location a couple of times. It's always cleaned and busy but we have never had to wait too long. Service is fast and friendly. We always do the hibachi and have found this is our favorite. The chefs putting on the show are the most interactive and the food always comes out delicious! We never have a complaint when we come here."

"Food is very good! Had a calzone and it was really tasty. Our waitress was attentive an took great care of our party of 6."

Rouen Thai

★★★★☆ 3.9 (153) • $$

"I have been here many times but forgot to review it until we just ate here last night. The food is very consistent and AWSOME. We have some Crab Rangoons, chicken and pork Pad Tia and the Pangan Curry. They were all on point. The service was perfect as well. Not a hard job since it was a pick up order. But still great. The inside is small but nicely decorated so it feels the part well. I really like this place and the food is always good. I most certainly will be back."

Special Pho

★★★★★ 4.6 (168) • $$

"If I could melt into a bowl of bold and flavorful, hot pho I would. Lucky me bc this spot is 5 mins from my house!Phone is a good portion, brimming with your meet of choice and filled with fresh herbs to brighten your pallet. I can never eat the whole thing- so delicious. Not to mention the folks who run this place- I think it's a family business- super sweet and helpful. Try the boba and fresh rolls with extra peanut sauce for added deliciousness!Happy souping!!!"

Patti's Kitchen

"Finally made it to this highly recommended spot. We got the Kenwood Nam (wontons and soup) and Phad Thai and they were both very good. Probably the best phad Thai I've had in a very long time. If I could make one small change, I'd rather it be just a little less saucy. And obviously we had to get the coconut cake. It was good. Young tender coconut between layers of moist yellow cake and icing."

Moonlight Boba

"The best boba tea around!! The staff is super nice and they have so many options. They also let our mini golden doodle inside while ordering so they are super accommodating!"

Tasty Thai Tampa

★★★★★ 4.8 (11)

"Delicious!!! I tried this place on a whim and wow it did not disappoint. I tried a soup, a stir fry, and a curry. All the dishes were flavorful. I ordered via their website and did pickup. The food was ready when I arrived. Although this place is in a gas station do not discount it. This was some of the best Thai food I've had in a while."

Poke Express

★★★★☆ 4.3 (126) • $$

"I really love the Poke bowls here and I love that they are now on Uber Eats! We have enjoyed the make your own Poke bowls (our favorite) and the Hibachi chicken and steak (just ok, in my opinion). The Poke is the star of the show here and I would recommend you making your own! We will definitely be back to the restaurant and would order again through Uber Eats. Great experience."

Love Pho & Boba

★★★★☆ 4 (5)

"It was our first time trying out this establishment. I happened to drive by it as it sits in a little strip mall off Cypress Gardens Blvd. We both enjoyed everything we tried. The pho had so much flavor in the broth. My husband said the heat level was perfect in his Pad Thai. Service was a little slower and someone's child of the establishment kept interrupting and running up to our server when we trying to order, it was not a huge deal. However, it was a little disrupting while eating as he kept running in and out of the front door. We will be back. It was very good. It's a small dining area but it was very clean and comfortable."

Rooster Thai Sushi

★★★★★ 4.7 (190)

"We dined here on a Saturday around 1 pm. The restaurant is small but had a variety of table sizes and two outdoor tables. It was clean and they had cute decorations. The sushi menu is pretty large. We started with the appetizer sampler platter. The crab Rangoon was my favorite but they were all tasty and crispy! Very fresh. We had three sushi rolls: Mexican, Tampa and Super crunch roll. The rolls had just the right amount of rice to ingredient ratio. Some sushi places load the rolls up with rice and I don't like that. These rolls were excellent! The service was great. I'd eat here again for sure!"

Japanese Kitchen Dosunco

★★★★☆ 4 (444) • $$

"Very small establishment and parking is a squeeze! 1 parking spot left when we arrived so I guess it was meant to be. Upon entering you are not greeted by anyone, instead there is a hostess stand with a pad of paper for you to sign in with your name, arrival time, party size and phone number. The paper also advises to sign in and wait outside. It's small inside and PACKED so I know why the advisement! I'm really not a fan of ramen places but hubs is so I went along. Not a fan because I feel like I can make better ramen at home for the cost. And to be honest, it has never been really rave worthy to me. So this place is in that same bucket for me. It was ok and that's it. We started with the Karaage which is basically Japanese fried chicken. It came with a dipping sauce similar to spicy mayo. It was piping hot. Breading was light but the chicken had chewy areas that grossed me out. I am very picky about my chicken and that 1 piece did it for me where I couldn't eat anymore. On to the ramen. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen without the bamboo shoots because they are just weird tasting and gross. The flavor of the broth was tasty, better than my hubs Dosunco Ramen. To me his had a bad aftertaste. My pork was melt in your mouth tender. I left satisfied with the ramen. Service was ok. Just be prepared to be patient, I only counted 3 people working and I'm sure due to the place being crowded and limited staff was why it was slower service."

"Grabbed takeout from this place and it was delicious! The order was ready super quick and the portions were great. The poke bowl was $13 and filling. This is definitely going to be my go to poke spot! The sauce was great and the food tasted fresh."

Thai Chilli Pepper

★★★★☆ 4.4 (283) • $$

"I came here with my family for a late dinner on Saturday. It was all of our first time there. It took about 5-10mins for our waiter to bring us our menu after seating us. He was the only server working though, and there were 2 tables waiting to cash out. Service was overall good though.I ordered the Grouper Pad Char, which was DELICIOUS!! I usually prefer fish grilled/blackened. This one was breaded & deep fried, but the breading was super crunchy & very well-seasoned!! The sauce was awesome (medium spice), and it had lots of veggies. My husband ordered the pineapple fried rice, which was really good! He ordered it with hot spice level, which was the perfect combination that balanced out the spicy, sweet & salty flavors. My mom had cashew nut stir fry w/ pork, which she loved. The sauce on it was thinner than the sauces used at other Thai restaurants so I didn't like it as much, but it was still good. My mother-in-law ordered Chicken Pad Sew Ew. I was disappointed w/ it because the sauce was also a lot thinner & not the same flavor as what I'm used to. She loved it, but that was her first time having that dish. Overall, this is a good Thai restaurant. I would come here again if I'm at this area."

Thai Cafe Modern

★★★★☆ 4.1 (79) • $$

"We went there for a working lunch and couldn't have been more pleased with everything! Thanks to the wonderful Yelpers, we found this place which was only 7 minutes away from where our meeting had been. We got there around 1:30 and the lunch crowd was already gone. I ordered some steamed rice for my 9 month old, as I knew she was hungry and tired. Our server was very thoughtful and also brought out some broth to go with the rice. There were 2 "new to thai" diners with us, so our server recommended the sampler appetizer platter. We ordered that and edamame. Both were very fresh and delicious. Our meals consisted of 2 sushi rolls, Mexican and spicy tuna, green panang curry, pad thai chicken and teriyaki chicken. Everyone was very pleased with their selections. The 3 other diners are from Texas, but I'm in carrollwood and will be enjoying this place again, very soon."

"Wow!! What a find!!They cook the food in front of you and you can see and smell how fresh the ingredients are. We ordered the short ribs and teriyaki beef.....AMAZING!!every bite was so flavorful and wonderful! This is our new go to place. The owner was super nice and helpful. I didn't even have time to take a photo of our meals as we devoured them immediately. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

Hong Kong

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (37)

"I can't vouch for the dine-in experience, but this is our go-to for Chinese on UberEats now. Their prices are reasonable and the portions are enormous. I get three meals out of their shrimp egg foo young, my favorite dish. We don't love the fried rice here (and it's an expensive upcharge for your side of rice so don't bother), but we're fans of pretty much everything else. The special combos do come with pork fried rice, and are more reasonable portions of food for an even more reasonable price, so that's a good deal. For appetizers, the spring roll, egg roll, and pan fried wontons are all delicious. Off the top of my head, we have liked all the egg foo young options, the pepper steak, the Mongolian beef, General Tso's, kung pao, Hunan, and orange peel.We're willing to wait a few extra minutes to get food here vs. from their more nearby competitors, and we're pretty frequent customers."

Pholicious

★★★★☆ 4.2 (19) • $

"Inside of a quiet lonely mall, a special gem! The lady manager is so nice and takes pride of her food! An artist when putting the pho together. Prices are great to compared to other local places you can get pho. Definitely recommend and I will be back to try more! Her egg rolls are her specialty which I know I won't be able to eat right now. Great after shopping or just to stop in! UPDATE: COLD night, good night for soup, Oops, I mean, Pho! Just as god as good as the first time! This time I added an egg roll. It was crunchy & delicious."

Wooden Ladle Noodle Shop

★★★★☆ 3.7 (369) • $$

"I've officially been in the Tampa Bay area for 7.5 months and have been craving a real bowl of ramen for the first time since moving here. So I went on the hunt for some nearby, but didn't want to make the trek all the way into Tampa, St Pete or Pinellas Park. Decided to venture over to Wooden Ladle on a whim. Unfortunately, it did not measure up and it was sort of lackluster. First, it felt like a food court. You place your order on a kiosk and someone brings it out to you. That's about all the human interaction you'll get. Could have been a robot and have no servers and wouldn't have known any different. Fountain drinks are also self served, as well as retrieving a to-go container. I wish I had known beforehand, I wouldn't have left a tip had I known it was basically all self service. The soup was bland and watered down. The noodles were just okay. And the eggs were not good! Mushy and wasn't really a braised egg. Yolk was mush and wasn't that bright yellow with the slightly sweet taste you would typically get at a good ramen joint. Gyoza was mehhh. Better the next day in an air fryer though. This place was more about a quick turn around rather than good quality. For me, this is one and done. I might come back if I happen to be in the area, but definitely wouldn't go out of my way for it. ."

Michi Ramen

★★★★★ 4.5 (296) • $$

"I had high hopes for Michi Ramen, but unfortunately, it has changed since the first time I visited--and not for the better. The biggest issue? They advertise bok choy on the menu, but what they actually serve is baby cabbage--and they still try to pass it off as bok choy. That's just misleading. To make matters worse, cabbage and bok choy are listed separately as a $1 add-on, so they're either cutting corners or trying to charge extra for the same thing.The noodles were another letdown. They weren't cooked all the way, which completely ruined the texture. I specifically asked the server if the tonkotsu ramen had normal ramen noodles, and he assured me it did. What I got were thin, inconsistent noodles that didn't resemble proper ramen noodles at all. It honestly seemed like grocery store spaghetti.The one redeeming quality was the broth, which had good flavor. But that alone isn't enough to bring me back. Between the menu inaccuracies, poorly cooked noodles, and misinformed service, Michi Ramen is not what it used to be. I won't be returning."

Sawatdee Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (202) • $$

"Have been a long time customer here going back well over a decade. I came back after being away for years and...The food is still great. Especially if you're going to bring it home. I really have no complaints there.However, the service is terrible. We were one of two tables during lunch, and the waitress really seemed like she had a dozen other things she'd rather be doing. She didn't even get one of the orders right.To me, the biggest sin since I left is they completely changed the interior of the restaurant. Where before it seemed like you were in a Thai restaurant (think wood carvings, elephants, etc.) the redid the entire interior to look like... I don't know, a millennial tea shop, maybe? Whatever it is, you'd never know you were in a Thai restaurant. It could be anything. Ultimately, order take out and you'll probably be happy as the food is still good (4 stars). The service and atmosphere? 2 stars at best."

Jubao Palace Noodle Bar - Seminole Hard Rock Tampa

★★★★☆ 4 (177) • $$

"The food is phenomenal and worth the wait! The best Asian food I've had in a long time. Great service. Only negative is they don't do carryout orders. Which is odd and contributes to the excessive wait time to be seated"

Roong Aroon Thai Cafe

★★★★★ 4.9 (14)

"great local spot, with kate night hours. chicken pad thai is amazing. the late night hours .... not so much. they don't open until 8p, but they do stay open super later. it would be great if they opened around 4 so folks could enjoy the super tasty snacks after work (5pm-ish)"

The Glass Noodle

★★★★☆ 4.2 (146) • $$

"First of all, how cute is this place?! just steps away from the Chihuly Collection and the Morean Glass studio. Right on theme. Now about the restaurant. It has a great variety of asian dishes that makes a perfect meal on a chilly day. The staff was very friendly and attentive, the fresh (summer) rolls were refreshing and the Curry Ramen is now my favorite way to enjoy ramen. My husband even adventures into a new dish, the red curry rice dish, that surprised him and his taste buds"

Dang Dude

★★★★☆ 3.8 (59) • $$

"I love that the wharf has many food stalls to choose from. Dang Dude won today's visit. Bummed the Bao buns were not available. The lemongrass chicken bowl was yummy. The tropical tea was also a winner. Food came out pretty quick. Cashless way to pay so be aware. Def want to come back to try the Bao buns."

China Wok

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (49) • $

"Delivery to the Plant City Fairfield took a full hour. Food was still hot (and my can of Sprite was still cold), plus they included plastic plates, silverware and napkins.My Shrimp with Garlic Sauce had a different sauce than I am used to - a bit sweeter and definitely darker. Shrimp were large but had that not-quite-firm consistency of older shrimp. Tons of crispy veggies."

Ling’s Dumplings

"I had pork dumplings and I was surprised at how good they tasted! They were a little greasy but that part wasn't surprising. It was a bit of a wait but I would like to go back and try something else."

"Whether it's a big bowl of hot pho, a hefty serving of stir fry noodles, or a quick bite of soft, steamy bao buns; ZEN Noodles Company is the spot for you! Each dish is crafted with quality ingredients and flavors inspired by our heritage as Asian-Americans. We curate our menu to bring comfort like a fresh home-cooked meal and also include options for everyone to try.Had the pleasure of visiting this place in Tampa. I found that it has a very relaxing atmosphere. I got try a few of their food items.1) Filipino Pork Ribs Adobo2) Beef Rib Pho3) Taro Milk l Tea"

Asiatic Street Food & Noodle Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (470) • $$

"I LOVE this place. Favorite pan asian in Tampa. The staff is incredibly friendly and remembers repeat customers. Was given complementary plum wine and the ability to taste test a few sakes. An absolutely hospital experience. The food is always delicious and filling. Some of my favorite thai food of all time. The curry noodles (not pictured) are sooo comforting, sweet, and satisfying. If you really like spice, they have spice rack they can bring you to add even more heat to your dish. The Wonton noodle soup is a warm and comforting dish with the best of both worlds, shrimp wontons and rice noodles."

The Asian Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (172) • $$

"This place has become our go-to for quick takeout food because it's always excellent food. Sometimes getting carryout can be a bad experience because the food steams too much on the way home but Asian Kitchen's food always tastes amazing. We like the build your own bowls and the fried rice is great. I definitely recommend the pork belly on whatever you order and while the food doesn't need sauce, their yum yum sauce is a must. Food is always ready quickly and is consistently a great meal."

Viet Kitchen

"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."

Saigon Bowl

"Wow what an amazing experience. We were so hungry we ordered fried egg rolls, vegetable fried rice, beef pho, coconut curry soup and beef tips. We took the pad Thai, beef special and fried rice to go. So yummy!!! I drank every last drop of the soup. The two male and female server were sweet and efficient in clearing the table, refilling drinks, and very fast about the food. We came 30 minutes to closing and left 5 minutes before. I can't wait to come back!!! Thank you :)"
