Every dish was cooked to perfection, and each one had a unique and exquisite flavor. The attention to detail in the preparation of the food was exceptional, making for a truly memorable dining experience. The flavors were unlike anything I’ve tasted before, showcasing the culinary expertise of the chefs. The service was impeccable, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. Hales Blackbrick truly impressed me and I’m already looking forward to my next visit

One of the best eats in Tampa! Food is fresh and cooked so well. The fried chicken (Ma La) is amazing and just a little spicy. Pork belly is always good and though most people are used to a fried pork belly, this one is still delicious. Egg roll really good but missing something. Fried rice is solid but also missing a little something for it to be incredible - still all amazing dishes though. Great service, more on the upscale side. Only problem is they never have availability when you want go!!! Ive been turned away twice when trying to go back.

By far the BEST shrimp fried rice I have ever had! The portion size is very generous. The service is wonderful. The servers are very attentive. The background music is nice. The whole ambiance is nice.

This place is so dope! It’s Chinese food but a different style, and it’s kind of like tapas. Our waitress recommended you order a bunch of dishes and share amongst the table. That was a great idea! The drinks are also good. We got the ribs, egg rolls, dumplings, and a noodle dish. I’m a huge fan of Guy Fieri, and I remember seeing this restaurant on an episode of Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives, in Miami, so I am so glad the chef opened this location in Tampa! It’s definitely pricey, but worth the food. I recommend getting a reservation, the place is smaller than average, so you might have to wait a while if you don’t have one. The staff is very attentive and friendly, and the food comes out quick! I highly recommend!

Went for a date night on Saturday. Place was really busy but was able to be seated right away just before our reso time. Service was great, Chef Hales stopped by every single table. Food was incredible! Fried rice portion was HUGE and delicious. I’m usually fairly picky and don’t eat seafood but I tried shrimp (in fried rice) & the General Tso gator - both amazing. Pork & cabbage dumplings were my favorite. Highly recommend.

Sometimes, when you go to a popular restaurant, you get the feeling you're supposed to feel grateful to be there. At Hales Blackbrick, you get the feeling that not only are you welcome there, but they are glad that you chose there to dine tonight. The entire staff was warm and welcoming. Our server Brittany made great recommendations and explained different options on the menu. Everything we had was excellent. I never thought I would mention an egg roll in a review, but it was ridiculously good. We also enjoyed Siu Mai, Dan Dan Noodles, and Chengdu Kung Pao Shrimp. Everything was delicious. The chef/ owner came around to each table and introduced himself, told us a little about himself, and thanked us for coming. With the combination of tasty food and a welcoming atmosphere, it was one of the best dining experiences we have ever enjoyed. Reservations are recommended, and it's a good night to leave the kids at home. We were already talking about our return visit when we got back in the car.

Fun and flavorful is the best way I can describe it. I truly had so much fun dining here and trying each dish. The food comes out remarkably fast. Each dish has unique bold flavors that delight the palate. The service is exceptional!! Yes, the food is pricey but how could it not be with all the above? I hope this gem is here to stick around because we have nothing else like it in town!

I had been wanting to eat here since they opened. Finally made it and Chef Hales himself was actually at this location. He walked around and engaged with everyone. The staff was exceptionally nice and you could tell they enjoyed their job. The food was of course excellent. Best egg rolls ever. Same with the fried rice. The Kung Pao rabbit was excellent. Will definitely return.
