    Visited Tampa for the first time and my friend brought us here for Vietnamese food and I can say it's super authentic and prices were very reasonable. Had the Spring Roll with Vietnamese Sausage and the Beef Satay with Egg Noodles. I can say both was delicious and it was better than any Vietnamese food I had in NYC. Give this place a try if you are in the area.

    Absolutely love the food here. Portion is huge and food is super fresh and delicious. I'm a huge fan of the homemade tofu here. Def recommend getting that. If you have an air fryer at home, you can heat it up and have fresh crunchy bites! Great beverage selections as well, I like to pair my meal with a cup of fresh sugarcane juice.

    I got the beef pho and chicken fried rice. Both were delicious but the beef in the pho was tough and lighter in color, like light pink/greyish. Not as good quality meat as other pho I've had. But the broth and noodles were absolutely delicious. The chicken fried rice was also good. The boba bar, food bar, and desert options looked great, but I was too full after the delicious pho to try them, so I'll be back. The atmosphere and vibe is really trendy and cool, and the pricing is very good as well. I recommend trying it out. Even my friend who doesn't typically like pho tried some of mine and loved the noodles and broth. It was also the perfect amount of onions and scallions, nice crunchy texture to even out the perfectly cooked noodles. I'll be back soon.

    If you like authentic Vietnamese food with variety popular dishes. Definitely, worth to check it out. I enjoy their aside foodies they have especially with their variety of tofu selections. The amount of food is worth your money. The staff is friendly and good service.

    This is the far the best Pho restaurant in the Tampa/Orlando area. Our Waiter was absolutely wonderful! He was kind, had a great attitude, and knew what it was that we needed. (Needed that soy and fish sauce). I could not be happier with my experience here. The food was delivered very quickly and the quality was EXCELLENT. Whatever ordering system they got in place, IT'S WORKING. I recommend this place to everyone, family and friends. Would definitely come back here if we visit Tampa again!

    Best Vietnamese pho around. The fresh spring rolls are delicious. You pretty much can’t go wrong with whatever you order. The prices are very reasonable as well. There is a hot bar and refrigerated items for take out as well. If you like pate and head cheese it is very goo and is in the refrigerator.

    This place is so yummy. Quick, friendly service. Lots of delicious choices. Very fresh and reasonably priced. I had the chicken banh mi and my wife had the shrimp vermicelli. We also split shrimp fresh rolls and a mango smoothie. Everything was great. There is also a market with authentic foods.

    This restaurant have such an extensive menu - I love that every dish have a picture, you’ll just want to order and try everything! Great atmosphere and delicious food! They also sell Vietnamese side dishes, pastries, and other delicacies. I love their rice platters - the Teriyaki chicken skewer was crispy on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside. The beef stew noodles was good but sweeter than I expected. The beef was slightly tough. We absolutely love the fried tofu, shrimp fish cake, and other goodies that sell inside the restaurant.

    Absolutely delish! We came in with a large party and were pleased to see that while they were "busy," there was still ample seating available. The timing of wait staff and kitchen was on point from all accounts. Not only did everyone receive the correct meal, the presentation and flavor of each dish exceeded expectations. We'll be back!!

    1* for cleanness 1* for fast service 1* for good price They have a good variety of Vietnamese food. We tried Bun mang vit, bun bo, banh mi bi, banh mi dac biet, banh bao, nem. However, none of them fits our flavor. They were very bland… Speechless!

    Fast service, good prices, variety of menu options including juices. My favorite with this place is tofu selections that they have and take home snacks. One of the chef special udon noodle has chlorinated water taste other than that it's a good place to dine.

    Arrived at 8:30 (they close at 9pm) to a packed house and they were able to sit us as the last table. We were the last to leave. They never rushed us and were siper gracious hosts. Checked on us a few times- veey sweet server. The food was perfect. Super large portions, very reasonable prices and the broth was lovely. Everyone at our table enjoyed their food. Cant wait to return and try their other food.

    I asked my friend, who is from Vietnam, to take me to a good Vietnamese restaurant. Not disappointed! Very nice/friendly staff, large portions, everything was super tasty and fresh! We both had Pho with fresh pork and assorted veggies - delicious. The egg rolls were great too. Plus, they have a huge take-out bar and lots of tea/drink choices. They have a cool menu with good descriptions and pics! My friend said that they opened the restaurant two years ago and they have been going like gangbusters ever since. Definitelty worth checking-out.

    We heard the pho was worth a trip across the bridge and it did not disappoint. We LOVED it! It was everything I wanted: Deep rich flavorful broth, perfectly cooked rice noodles and delicious rare beef. Great condensed milk coffee too.

    There are numerous Vietnamese restaurants in the area, this place is the best. The menu varies from the familiar, dishes everyone has to unique authentic dishes rarely seen. Without considering the fresh home made tofu, other ready to go offerings, and a prolific menu, they are the best simply due to the depth of flavor they infuse. My personal favorite here is the beef noodle stew. I comment outloud how good it is as an automatic response every time.

    This place is literally so good. I got Pho and it was amazing. I only gave the service 4 stars because it took a bit long but it was still really good. Over all the place is 1000/10

    Enjoyable and Comfortable Brunch at Thinh An Kitchen & Tofu Hello everyone, it's Stephen, your trusted reviewer. I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Vietnamese restaurant last Thursday, which is well-known for its variety of signature dishes in the Tampa area. Let me share my experience with you! Food & Beverage: ⭐️ 5/5 One standout dish I tried was the "Vietnamese Steamed Ground Pork Rice Roll," also known as Bánh Cuốn Nhân Thịt và Chả. The softness of the rice roll combined with the flavorful minced pork made it easy to bite into. Based on my experience, I highly recommend pouring the entire fish sauce over the rice roll. The fish sauce perfectly complements the dish, enhancing its juiciness and bringing out the best flavors. It was a truly delightful experience! I also indulged in some traditional Vietnamese-style snacks from the food stations, and they were exceptional. They reminded me of the authentic flavors I enjoyed back in Vietnam. The crunchy texture of the Jelly Ear was a particular highlight. Personally, I would have loved to have more of it in the rice roll to further enhance the overall experience. Iced Milk Coffee, also known as "Cà Phê Sữa Đá," was another highlight. I appreciated the smooth texture and balanced sweetness. Unlike other restaurants, this milk coffee was not overly sweet. Its more watery consistency allowed for a smoother drinking experience, rather than the heaviness of condensed milk. It was truly amazing! Service: ⭐️ 4/5 Upon entering, I was promptly escorted to a comfortable table where I could relax on the couch. The staff was attentive and considerate, asking if I wanted to place an immediate order or simply enjoy a drink first. They were welcoming and responded kindly to my requests. Thank you for the excellent service! Atmosphere: ⭐️ 4/5 Thinh An Kitchen & Tofu boasts a vibrant atmosphere that is both created by the enthusiastic staff and the lively customers. Some choose to dine in and enjoy the cozy seating, while others prefer exploring the various food stations offering a range of snacks, frozen pre-cooked food, and delightful bakery items. ***If you're in the area, I highly recommend paying them a visit!***

    I never knew this place existed. And it was fantastic. I had an avocado pineapple smoothie and it was the best thing I've ever had. I had the pho beef soup. They give you enough for three meals. The egg rolls are delicious. Everything was amazing the only thing that was a little off with the waitress I think she forgot about us so we had to go and figure out how much we owe to. Other than that it was fantastic we will be coming here at least once every two weeks

  • 5/5 Sam M. 1 year ago on Google
    I really like this place! The food is affordable and tasty. The service is quick and efficient... they seat you, give you water and take your order then someone brings out your order as soon as it's ready. Don't expect to be checked on or have the food brought out all at once for your party because it's not a typical restaurant like that. The spicy dishes are really spicy... I can handle lots of spice and it was almost too much for me. I plan to go back and try more of the menu. Overall, I recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Larry S. 9 months ago on Google
    We had lunch it was the best. Had the Mi Quang Yellow Noodle soup and Fried pork egg rolls. I use to love Pho until I ate the Mi Quang Number 47 on the menu. If you need a Vietnamese fix this the place to go.

  • 5/5 Nat a. 8 months ago on Google
    Super good spot! Would have to come back to try their actual pho noodle soup. I got number 44 on the menu this first time. Satisfied well on my noodle love. Texture was good, lots of beef in my noodle soup so it's worth the price you pay. Noodle amount wise isn't quite lot but it's ok, the amount of beef in it made it up. Bowls were $13 each so it was reasonable price. They also have a mini market side with pre-made food to bring home to chow more on!
