    They deserve the 5 stars and more! Awesome food, great location and even better customer service. Very accommodating and helpful. The whole family enjoyed the food. When in the area, we will surely come back.

    This place is super fast, delicious, and cheap! The trifecta of a perfect establishment! You can get a hot or cold bowl that’s filling and delicious. Try it with a passion fruit tea with popping bubbles. Asian Kitchen is my go-to after a long shift! Never disappoints.

    My friends and I were walking around downtown Tampa and this place popped up in nearby places to eat. What I did not expect was the most unique, appetizing Asian food I have ever eaten. This place embodies a diamond in the rough, hole in the wall, legendary food experience. The pork belly fried rice was phenomenal and jasmine and max tool such good care of us it was unreal. I never leave reviews but I had to leave one for this place. Will definitely be back hungry for more.

    Greate Asian food & bowls! Ingredients were fresh and the food was delivered promptly. They'd very limited sitting space inside/outside the restaurant but service was fast and accurate.

    Fifteen dollar bowl of disappointment. Feel like I got pho'd over. Prices did not match what they were listed on Google (14 something after tax for a pho listed as 11 online). For a very skimpy bowl. I have worked at a number of Asian restaurants and this place is a cheap take. Pho is typically largly a noodle based dish, however the pho from this establishment is 90% noodle. Not even a full pint of broth was given so the noodles absorb all of it with none left over to sip. The pork belly was over fried in a deep fryer which makes it loose its delicious consistency. All herbs were served on top rather than on the side allowing you to alter the flavor yourself. Maybe one basil leaf chiffanade on top. Weak. Will not be back.

    I’m not one to complain, but what the heck. For a custom lunch bowl price plus tip, i expect just a little bigger of a protein portion to come with your lunch. My bowl is loaded with rice, maybe medium portion of veggies, and about 4 oz of chicken. The food quality is good, not great, but based on what you get for the value, this would be the last option for lunch I’d choose on a work day.

    The food was ok at best. The pho came in a plastic bowl, with plastic silverware, for dine in. For its location and price thats ridiculous. Wash your bowls and provide decent silverware. Less plastic in landfills, its 2023 ppl.

    I've been coming to this location for years now. ALWAYS a pleasure coming in. Savannah is super duper sweet and has amazing customer service! I look forward to seeing her when I go in at this point now 😂. I've never ever had a problem with my food. It's always hot, cooked perfectly, and delicious. 10000/10 recommended this place!

    The outside is a little faded but don't let it fool you. This is the best Pokè bowl I've had in a long time. The restaurant is super clean and inviting. Had I not paid for 1 hour parking I would have stayed longer. Thai milk tea was also delicious. Menu is super east to read and understand. Did I mention quick, the food was ready before I could take out my phone and check my messages. This is now my go to when I'm in Tampa.

    Had an order picked up, they failed to include our drinks and utensils. Naturally, they blamed all of this on the Uber Eats driver, and when we contacted them, they said to take it up with Uber Eats. Food was overpriced and was fair at best.

    I’m going to try it again because the atmosphere was super friendly. Unlike other reviews I definitely do not find it cheap. The Singaporean sling was wicked salty. Good boba teas for sure. Maybe it was just this dish and I am curious enough to try another item. At these prices, roughly 20 dollars for an entree and tea with gratuity, it’s not somewhere I’d frequent for lunch often. Edit: flash forward quite some time. Was in the area again thought I’d check it out again. The food was so so bland. $20 for lunch and it better be a worthy experience. You basically pay an up charge for being so close to a big college. Better places around with a better value proposition.

    Fantastic options and plenty to eat. The potstickers were great and so was the pad Thai. The pork belly in the ramen was a little dry but it was an extremely generous portion. Great pickled veggies.

  • 3/5 Olivia J. 10 months ago on Google
    Ordered a custom bowl with chicken, rice, broccoli, and noodles. Noodles were good. Not enough sauce though, and they want you to put the sauce in it yourself but they pack the bowl so much (which is nice) but then it makes it so hard to mix in the sauce if you don't have a plate. I just don't understand the hype of this place. It is very mediocre and the people who work there are meh. The chicken I will say is so sketchy, at least the chicken in my bowl. Looked almost transparent and was like rubber so I avoided it like the plague. I probably wont order again and will go to a better place like The Poke Company on Channelside (best poke place everrr)

    I usually order from here on Uber Eats for lunch because the food is reliably delicious. Today I placed and order and one of the employees called me to make sure they got the order right because I had ordered a rice with no protein. He was very nice and I appreciated him checking so much! Anyway, this place rocks and the employees are awesome!

    Looking for a quick meal not far from the airport. It was surprisingly delicious! I had Raman with tofu and a blueberry boba hibiscus tea! It was amazing!

  • 3/5 Karen D. 1 year ago on Google
    3 stars for quality versus value. Service was perfect! Ladies were patient, pleasant, and knowledgeable. Atmosphere was cute inside, sat outside and enjoyed the weather. Food quality was fresh, bright and inviting - but unseasoned. That matters to me because the value of $44 for 2 meals, a snack, and a drink really should equal the quality of taste, including how well your meals satisfy the palette using fresh ingredients - not by geographic location.

  • 5/5 Myrna N. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent restaurant. Really really really yummy food. We had dumplings, ramen and pad thai. Everything was absolutely fantastic. The ramen was perfect and when I say perfect I mean probably the best Ramen I've ever tasted (the soy eggs were perfection) also the bean sprouts were thick and crunchy. They pack it up to go even if you eat in so its easy to pack up your leftovers. It's reasonably priced not dirt cheap but you get what you pay for.

    The food was very nice. The frozen boba was definitely my favorite. (I tried both fruit tea and frozen) I would recommend it to people who like homey vibes and good service.☺️

  • 5/5 Andrea C. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious, lots of options and served fresh and steaming hot. The portions and price ratio is perfect! I will definitely revisit this spot. This picture below got alot of attention on my Facebook feed. It was a beautifully crafted picture worthy bowl!

    Just as good as it looks! Generous portions at a great price. I had the Chap Chae with pork belly and scrambled egg, and an order of edamame. I will definitely be ordering again
