We walked into the restaurant and got seated right away. Within just a few minutes we got our water and menu. The waiter was friendly and gave us a few minutes to look over the menu instead of rushing us. Ordered the pho with beef ribs and the ribs were fall off bone tender and you got 2 of them. The broth was rich and flavorful, the spring rolls were nicely rolled and the peanut sauce was delicious. We did end up spilling a whole cup of water but the waiter didn’t fuss over it and calmly came over with additional napkins and towels to help us clean up so we can enjoy our meal. It’s located in a shopping strip, so plenty of parking and easily accessible.

It is a calm and mild lightning restaurant. They have a mix of Japanese, Vietnamese and Thai cuisine. The food is good and I highly recommend this place.

Hands down, the best Korean food in town! The flavors are authentic and bold, and the service is always friendly. I ordered the bang bang bowl with chicken and it was mildly spicy, savory, and utterly delicious. My wife's kimchi dish was fresh and addictive. Highly recommend trying the crab wontons they are a game-changer! The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, perfect for dates or gatherings with friends. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu!

We were only in town a short time and had one place to eat...so glad we landed here! There place is cute and clean with a great atmosphere. The food we had (Veggie Pad Thai & Veggie Pho) was DELICIOUS and FRESH. And the greeter and server were both friendly and kind. The server was also very attentive! We will definitely be back next time we go to the Tampa area.

I cannot express how much this restaurant exceeds all expectations! I have eaten here multiple times, and every single time I am there in person, I am provided excellent customer service, and phenomenal wait times even on busy nights! My favorite menu item is the Bang Bang Chicken & Rice. The picture I’ve attached is halfway through the meal because I was too excited to dig in before I took a picture! The food holds very well throughout delivery as well. The atmosphere of the restaurant reflects very well on an authentic experience of traveling through Asia. I have never been disappointed here, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for an enjoyable and delicious meal!

The food and atmosphere were nice. However, we ordered our food to go. So the photos are how we reassembled it at home. Their broth was a little different than when we normally get, but that could just be the recipe. We will definitely go back.

This has to be the best vermicelli noodle bowl I ever had! The meat was super tender and flavorful. I did have it with chr sue and shrimp. I added garlic sauce, crispy, shallots, and cilantro. The bow buns with pork belly were good, with the right amount of sauce at the bottom to taste. Would definitely order again.

One of my new favorite restaurants in Tampa. On my first visit I had green curry chicken udon soup and it was so good I ordered it again a few days later. It came out quick each time and the portion size was filling. If you like extra heat they have Thai chili flakes, Thai chili paste and sauce. Their Vietnamese ice coffee was fantastic too. Am looking forward to visit 3 to try something different!
