This place is a hidden gem. We are Vietnamese and the Pho was excellent and the Banh Mi was delicious. The staff were super friendly. Am definitely going to come back. Wish I had discovered this place sooner. This is legit Vietnamese food with a cool modern cafe vibe. Casual, bright atmosphere.

My youngest brother took me here when I visited Florida about two weeks ago. I never had Banh mi before and he said this place was one of his favorites. When we arrived we noticed there was a huge line for the grand opening of another retailer in that shopping center. Since there were so many people, all of the restaurants in that shopping center were full. Banh Mi Factory was also full and we noticed most of their shelves were empty. We didn't have to wait long and our food was ready quickly. I had the fried chicken Banh Mi and my brother had a veggie one. I ordered a Mango drink and my brother had Boba tea. It was delicious. Despite the traffic, the customer service was excellent. I can't wait to visit again.

Amazing food . Carry out only . Tandoori momos were too yummy for words . Hidden gem in Tampa . Don’t miss this place . Chef is very kind and nice person

This is a take put only restaurant with the kitchen in the garage of the house. It is an all vegetarian menu with everything made from scratch. The flavors were the real flavors of Southern India not faked as many Indian restaurants do in the US. As an Anglo who lived overseas, I am capable of handling spicy food, and I enjoyed the spice very much.

I took my fiancée for an original Colombian date and lord!!!!! I have zero regrets. She tried everything; morcilla, empanadas, bandeja paisa, postobon drinks and even lulo juice. Omg, it was such an amazing experience. The service was on point, they make you feel like home and as a Colombian, there’s nothing I appreciate more than feeling like home❤️ Thank you for your service to this community and keep on making such delicious foods🫶🏽

I paid $10.74 for a beef soup to get only 3/4 pieces of beef large soup at that. This is a disappointment completely. I would like to get my money back but when I called they said it’s what’s it brings it’s a quart of food with 3/4 pieces of beef. DO NOT BUY SOUP HERE!

China Taste on W Gandy Blvd is the quintessential hole-in-the-wall spot that surprises with its quality takeout offerings. While it may not be a place you'd choose for dining in, it excels in delivering fresh, flavorful meals cooked to order. The General Tso’s Chicken and Chicken Noodles were standout dishes—deliciously prepared and satisfying. The spring rolls, however, fell a bit short of expectations, lacking the flavor and crispness one might hope for. What truly sets China Taste apart are its reasonable prices and consistently fresh food, making it a reliable choice for takeout when you're craving Chinese cuisine. If you're in the area, it's worth giving this unassuming spot a try for a tasty and budget-friendly meal on the go.

I ordered honey chicken, shrimp fried rice and 2 eggs rolls. The one time they get my order correct, I get home to find cashews in my son’s honey chicken. I called for a replacement, because he is deathly allergic to cashews. The little girl says I can bring it in for a replacement. I pack up the chicken and take it back. I asked if I could get a fresh replacement, the lady and the little girl say yes. I wait a little while, they apologized again and gave me my food. I thought it was too quick so I checked the chicken in the car. Only to find that they just gave me the same chicken I handed to them. It was room temperature and still had fried rice on it and everything. I won’t be going back.

I love both the filet mignon and combination pho soup. Soup was hot and I love the fresh ingredients to put on top. I'm really picky when it comes to Taro tea but, I was very satisfied with the flavor. The fruity booty was also very refreshing. If you buy the mason jar size you can come back and fill it up with anything (except coffee) for a price of a large. Both the OG churro and chocolate churro were bomb. The staff is super friendly and the place is cozy and inviting. Definitely worth the drive. My new favorite spot. Pictures are from different visits.

I’ve been a regular customer at your restaurant and have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere, which is why I’m writing to share my disappointment with my recent experience. Today, I ordered garlic noodles with beef and added onions for takeout. When I got home, I discovered that there was no beef in my order. I kindly drove 18 minutes back to the restaurant to resolve this, and I paid an additional $4 to have the beef added to my plate. While I appreciated the staff accommodating my request, I was extremely disappointed when I got home and found only 4-5 small pieces of beef—far fewer than expected. To make matters worse, my brother found two strands of hair in his food, which was not only gross but also unacceptable. This experience has left me very frustrated and dissatisfied, especially given the effort I made to address the issue. I am not sure if that happened because I took to go or what? I wanted to bring this to your attention in hopes that the quality of service and food can be improved moving forward. I look forward to your response.

LOVED THE FOOD! Absolutely incredible! We got the Dahi Puri, chicken bun kabob sandwich, cholay baturay, and the samosa chaat. All things were fresh, savory, and so worth it! For drinks we ordered the rabri falooda which was so sweet and fresh! Their mango lassi was also very sweet and didn’t taste artificial. Price of food was very fair, and you get a lot of food for the price! Highly recommend this place, and we will be sure to visit again soon!

The best dahi poori I’ve ever tasted! The quality and freshness of the food here are outstanding. Along with the delicious dahi poori, their egg rolls are amazing, and the paan is fresh and flavorful. The service was excellent, and I’ll definitely be coming back again!

Bamboozle in Channelside is an absolute gem for anyone craving vibrant Vietnamese and Asian fusion cuisine! As someone who’s gluten-free and dairy-free, I was so thrilled to find so many delicious options. They’re known for their rice rolls, and they did not disappoint! The crispy duck, grilled chicken, and the traditional fresh rolls were bursting with flavor. The entree, the sesame glass noodles with sesame pork were the perfect way to complement the flavors and add an extra kick to my meal. The Ube Basque Cheesecake was a first for me, and it did not disappoint—it was rich and indulgent, the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. Portions are generous, and everything is beautifully presented. Bamboozle stands out for its incredible dishes and laid-back atmosphere. If you’re near Channelside, don’t miss this hidden treasure!

I’m here now! The vegan pho soup is delicious and smooth very tasty 😋 The vegan salad is pretty big, could probably split for two but definitely worth it! I kinda of wanted a warmer welcome 🤗 like “Welcome to Bamboozle”. Very quiet place not many customers. Also, when cleaning off tables, never spray cleaning agent around customers eating.

My partner and I decided to try out a new sushi spot and this was on our way home. I can genuinely say this place would be worth going out of our way though! I ordered their ‘secret’ menu item - the Storm Chaser. This is by far the best sushi roll I’ve ever had. Incredible combinations of flavors and textures with a high protein value. The roll had three different proteins and was $21, which I think is more than reasonable. My husband ordered the Nigiri plate and said it was high grade and delicious, but a little overpriced for the amount that he received ($25). Overall a really great experience with wonderful staff and a cool environment.

This is our favorite sushi place in Tampa. We have came back every weekend since we first tried it. Quality sushi, fresh fish, awesome service. The ocean roll, electric feel, scarlet witch and the crab ragoons are to die for. I love this place! The daily happy hour from 3-7pm is also an amazing deal.

Good experience. Everything was pretty fresh. The place was super clean. Flavors were great, but not outstanding. A few dishes lacked some punch. Everything was nice and hot though. Atmosphere is a bit more fun than a typical Asian buffet. The music didn't really fit the vibe of the establishment. Overall worth the visit and we'll definitely go back.

Do yourself a favor and either lower your expectations or spend your money for a better meal somewhere else. The pictures are almost false advertising. The unlimited Asian drinks that were included as well as the cool looking ice creams are a bust and myth. There are much less options than depicted in those pictures and videos on social media. Maybe when they first opened but not now! The ice creams were literally to the tune of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry or orange sherbert but all of which came in a Styrofoam cup with a pull back lid like a Dixie cup. The Boba drinks were 3 flavors and the bottled Asian drinks had only one flavor choice. The Hibachi had steak, very few pieces of semi-slimy chicken, and some shrimp to choose from and the veggies consisted of zucchini, onions, mushrooms and peppers and there were noodles but that was it. I chose a moderate spice Terriaki soy for my Hibachi and they did a good job with the flavors but it was a very awkward and unprofessional set up. There was no one stationed were the Hibachi area was but to the right was the sushi station and staff coming in and out of the back with rolling carts for clean up and buffet items for replenishment and when I asked one of the employees by the sushi if they do the cooking for the Hibachi they said yes and took my raw items and said it would be a few minutes, but I didn't see where they cook it so I'm assuming they take it in the back and then bring it out once it's ready and ring a bell for you to come and pick it up. I went up to find it and it was off to the side slightly behind the raw station and I had to reach in between to obtain it and it was again, unmanned. The buffet items for the hot food were okay but not great. The selection was surprisingly smaller than the majority and definitely smaller than depicted in pictures and videos that have been featured. They did have snow crab both hot and cold but the flavors were just okay. The butter was more like movie theater popcorn oil but definitely not real butter. It was clearly a butter flavored oil of sorts. The General Tso's chicken was lacking in flavor and the coconut shrimp was sub par at best. It wasn't a very clean place and the decor was beyond basic and felt slightly dated and dingy. They also had crawfish. I'd say unless you're going for unlimited snow crab or crawfish and butter isn't important to you, then this is not worth the drive or price because you can get better buffet items in most Chinese buffets for $22 for dinner. If you know you know, and now, you know...

This is a nice, quaint tai restaurant. The music and ambiance is very relaxing. I would definitely recommend the appetizer sampler. You get to try four different appetizer choices with four different sauces. They have a nice variety of Thai entrees to choose from. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

Outstanding service, a dog-friendly patio and most of the menu can be modified to accommodate a vegan diet. The corn fritter appetizer is unique and very tasty! We also enjoyed a salad and main dish along with a bottle of saki. If you are - like me - not a fan of cilantro, be sure to mention when you order.

Eds Resturant Reviews - I really wanted to give this place a 5. Atmoshpere was great. We loved the Asian Jazz theme and all the food was great except for 1 item. Yhe fried grouper in the Grouper with Plum sauce tasted very fishy in the thick part of the meat.

I love coming here! The service is always great and friendly. I enjoy coming here with my family and friends. My favorite dish is the Chicken Pad Thai; it has a generous portion, and I always have leftovers to enjoy later. The crab rangoons are also my favorite here.

A week or so ago, I had table service and Julian was our server. He gave us plenty of time, provided amazing service, the food was served nice and hot and the food tasted fresh. Today when I visited to place my order and pick it up, Santiago greeted me and took my order. He was kind and friendly, double checked my order and provided great customer service. He made sure everything was in the bag and that we had condiments as well. I love coming to Ford's Garage because the food is great and the service is amazing. We've had amazing service sitting at the bar, at a table or when picking up our order. See you soon. The ribs were great! We only wish the Mac & Cheese was piping hot.

This is a must on your Tampa places to eat list. The atmosphere from outside to in is 20/10!! From the old Ford's and gas pumps outside, the hose clamp napkin rings to the tire sink in the bathrooms! We loved the cold stone slab running around the bar to keep your drinks cold! The food was sooo good. We had the pretzel bites with bacon beer cheese.. those pretzels are salty bites of heaven! Burgers were cooked to perfection and the sweet potato tots and dipping sauce... the best!! Kayla served up great drinks and service behind the bar. Can't ravens enough about this place!!!
