This is my first time visit this restaurant, I come alone this Monday. The place is very nice, atmosphere warm and comfortable. Food is really tasty and fresh, I enjoy every bite. But honestly, what make my experience more special is the tall server with the bracelet (forgot to ask his name). He so polite and also very funny, make me feel not lonely when I eat alone. He explain the menu very clear, recommend some dishes, and all are really delicious. I smile a lot because of his friendly talk and good service. I will definitely come back again, not only for the good food, but also hope to see him again. Very impress, thank you so much!

Umm... The first impression of this Vietnamese restaurant was easy to access... It's by the W Waters Ave.. Parking spaces are limited. I could see it's pretty popular by the locals. The restaurant has a wide variety of Vietnamese cuisine selections: soup, noodles, fried rice, banhmi, shrimp roll, spring rolls etc. It also features a Vietnamese cooked/processed food market... Quite a lot of selections.... How did it taste? It's good but it does not reach my top 3 ranks.... Still.. Recommended...

We went here as soon as we landed from the airport. It’s less than a 15 min drive and we been craving their mushroom fried tofu so it was a must. We got there 45 min before closing and they still had tofu and service was pretty decent. I got to try my first Bun Rieu and loved it so much. Had lots of flavors to it compared to a Pho. I could def taste the crab. My fiancé said it reminds him of spaghetti cuz of the tomatoes and the size of the noodles. I somewhat agree lol. Just soupy and seasoned. Ofc I had to get my durian smoothie. It’s the best in Tampa area! Cant go wrong with some fresh shrimp spring rolls🥰😝❤️

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa. They have great banh mi, a great selection of decently priced menu items and the service is always consistent. There’s also a market where they sell homemade items. I’m always ecstatic for an opportunity to visit them.

I had a wonderful experience at Thinh An Kitchen & Tofu. Not only was the food fresh and delicious, but the service was also outstanding. In particular, QUIN, who served my table, was very friendly and attentive and ensured every detail was taken care of so that I felt comfortable. The market station was also a great addition. It was full of fresh, authentic items showcasing the quality and variety of Vietnamese cuisine, visiting feel even more special, like a dining and shopping experience. QUIN recommended some signature dishes, brought everything out quickly, and always smiled warmly, which made the whole meal even more enjoyable. I was genuinely impressed by the professionalism and dedication. I will return and recommend Thinh An Kitchen & Tofu (and the market station!) to my friends and family. Thank you, QUIN, for such a memorable experience!

I love this place so much! They had crispy pork belly today. Comes with a side of chili oil in soy sauce. Has a hint of the oriental five spices and the meat was very juicy so you know it was made that day. My favorite entrées at this place is the curry chicken with potatoes where you can dip it with the French bread or the beef and carrots red curry stew which also you dip with the French bread. The service is always spectacular here, very kind and courteous. It is always packed to the max here at all hours, so it's good to come here when they open or two hours before they close. The bakery items are so good here. I love the almond croissant. They have a variety of croissants. They also have pate chaud. All bakery items are buy five get one free. They are all the same price $3.50. If you like the traditional banh mi sandwiches... this place bakes their own French bread and they have a really good head cheese one of the best you'll ever have. Their head cheese here is of a grey color which is the true style for the head cheese as most other places make theirs the red color. The head cheese here is made in house and can also be sold in their refrigerator section. This place makes a really good grilled pork banh mi & it is made to order as in the meats come out hot in the sandwich. Doesn't get any better than this. The place is pretty sanitary for a very busy restaurant. I kind of just wish that there were paper towels in the bathroom instead of the air hand dryer.

SOLID 5 STARS Yelp Elite All-Star Dave W chose this restaurant for our regular lunch get together. Thinh An Kitchen is a busy family style restaurant. Their menu is actually a small book. They have about a dozen tables inside and another dozen outside under a veranda. Most of their business is carry out; they even have a comprehensive buffet setup so people can choose their own items for carry out customers only. Our waitress, Queenie (That's her 'Table Name'), was on the ball and even though we got the last inside table, we were never neglected or had to wait for service. That is rare for a restaurant as busy as this one. I started with #5 Goi Cuom Tom ($5.90 for 2 pieces). Rice paper wrapped shrimp spring rolls with a tasty peanut dipping sauce. Each roll had 4 medium sized shrimp inside. Then I ordered #69 Hu Tieu Xao Hai San ($16.90) seafood stir fry entree. Chock full of large seafood chunks plus tofu squares. I'm not a big fan of tofu, but these were delicious. Altogether, a great meal with excellent service.

Future Christina, this is what the kids like. They have a kids menu and on it there's chicken nuggets and french fries! We were shocked, but this saved us with one son. The other absolutely demolished his steamed rice with grilled chicken, which was surprising. He also really liked the eggroll. I got an avocado smoothie and the shortrib dish, which is always a favorite. My husband got the chicken teriyaki skewers and added more skewers. They came and they were huge. Next time we don't need the extra skewers. This place can get busy on the weekends. Service was still pretty fast and super friendly. You can grab food in the to go section if you want ready made dishes. If you're in the area I highly recommend checking it out. There's parking in the front and in the back.

One of my favorite spots in all of Florida. My Chinese/Viet family swears by this place. The food is absolutely delicious, service is quick, and you can shop for more food in their market area. Every time I've been here, it is completely packed, it might take a little longer to get your food but menu items and market items never run out. Everything from the pho to com tam to the boba and banh mi is good...really can't go wrong eating anything from this place. Some of my favorites from the market side is the fried tofu, banh bao, pastries, pate, and che.

This place is definitely authentic, but I would say it's more of a "fast food" type Vietnamese restaurant vs. nicer. It's easy to find and there was a decent amount of parking which was good. They sat us quickly and we ordered, and our food came out in less than 10 minutes, and the servers were very nice. They have endless menu options so you will surely be able to find what you want. I got the tofu fried rice dish and it was good but honestly pretty bland and extremely oily. This place is good for a quick meal that is traditional but no frills. It was fun walking around the dessert section afterwards too, they have a huge grab and go section to the side.

I recently was recommended Thinh An by a friend, and now I see why. This place is an absolute machine for Vietnamese food! They have so so so much to offer on the menu, plus a hot bar for lunch, plus baked goods, plus a refrigerated section for deserts and other items. The restaurant was quite busy and yet when we ordered our dishes, they were out in less than 5 minutes. Come hungry, because you will not have to wait long at all for your food! The pho was classic, and the chili oil that they give you with it makes it so good (but be careful not to add too much!) Super super happy that I got to try Thinh An out, and even though it's far outside of Tampa I will definitely be back to try more.

Known for their varieties of house-made tofu and delicious soy milks, this locally owned Tampa Bay Vietnamese staple is famous and insanely crowded for a reason. I used to come here all the time to pick up a half gallon of their homemade pandan soy milk. But, now Pinellas Park has all the good Vietnamese restaurants so no reason for me to visit here anymore. Freshly baked breads, pastries, and prepared foods abound. Nowhere else in the area compares in specialized variety of quality foods, drinks, and desserts. While I'm not a fan of their powdered teas, I'm a fan of their coffees and sugarcane juice. Opening for breakfast six days a week, it's best to arrive early to beat the crowds. My favorite items in their prepared foods area are the pandan soy milk, lemongrass tofu, meatballs, spring rolls, and sesame balls. Many people love their phở and mì quảng, but I'm a fan of their thicker soups and stews. Dipping the crispy baguette into the soup is so satisfying. The pork belly fried crispy into bánh xèo batter is also a gamechanger. 1 Sugarcane Juice 2 Cà Phê Sữa Đá - iced coffee 3 Fresh Spring Rolls with grilled pork 4 Beef Stew with bread 5 Chicken curry stew with bread Very cramped atmosphere with tables close together.

Located on the western side of Tampa Bay, Thinh An does present a bit of a commute, especially if you're coming from central Tampa (probably the easiest way to get here is by Veterans Expressway-589 if you don't mind the tolls). However, their wide selection of menu items as well as locally made goods make the trip worth it. If you've ever had Vietnamese at the throwback Pho Bang up in New York City, Thinh An will definitely bring back the nostalgia of inner city dining with the brightly lit menu items that contrasts with a dimly lit dining area. There appeared to be ample amount of seating area, both in the main indoor area, as well as an extended glass-windowed patio that provides additional seating. It felt a bit as if you entering another world as you walk into Thinh An with their ambiance. The restaurant was already open by 10 am (according to Google Maps, they open around 9) which was very convenient for us as we were looking for an early meal. There were almost countless items on their menu which offered a great variety and distinction from the normal pho noodle bowls, showcasing Vietnamese cuisine. Looking to try something different than our usuals, we ended up ordering the Banh Xeo and Banh Hoi. When the plates arrived, we were surprised by how enormous they were - there was more than enough food for one person. It was refreshing to see the amount of fresh greens that accompanied these plates. The dishes had good flavor and did their job at satiating our Vietnamese food cravings. After consuming our meals, we walked over to their "market" area where they had locally baked and made goods - from sweet deserts to savory appetizers. We ended up scooping up some premade Chè Ba Màu and a quart of tofu pudding with ginger to go. Definitely a neat market if you want something quick, fresh, and delicious. I would definitely recommend Thinh An for families or those with out of town guests and visitors!

I really liked this spot a lot. There were so many things to try here! We came because we were trying to find something to do before we headed to the airport for our flight. We didn't have much of an appetite when we came, but I found them through yelp and decided to come check them out. We didn't come during rush hour, but it was still pretty packed when we got here. I got the banh mi xui Mai (pork meatball sandwich) and it was delicious. Nobody does the xui Mai in the town I'm from so I was happy to get to have it here. The bread was nicely toasted when it came out, and the pork meatball was scrumptious and full of flavor. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I also tried the banh Xeo (Vietnamese shrimp and pork belly crispy pancake). It was delicious! The pancake was cooked perfectly and the flavor was very yummy. It came out with a lot of veggies on the side. I don't have any complaints about this one at all! I definitely loved it and it's really hard to find someone to make this good. For my drink, I got a strawberry slushie. It wasn't bad, but I probably wouldn't get it again the next time I come. I had a pretty good experience here in all, and will definitely come back the next time I'm in the area. They also have a section that sells different snacks and foods to grab n go so if you don't have time to sit down, you can definitely check out the area of foods they already have prepared.

Great place for Pho! The #17 was delicious and filling. Wait staff were friendly and helpful! They also have a nice bakery section with delicious pastries. The place is a little cramped but not so much so that you didn't have your space. Overall, the Pho was tasty and that's what matters!

My mom always told me if you want to enjoy international cuisine, find a place where people of that region go to eat. Thinh An is one of those places. It's a little cramped inside but they do also have a little indoor patio area for more space. There's a drink and dessert bar if you aren't dining in. If you are dining in, theres a very good staff that will take care of you. They're very quick and friendly and will guide you and answer questions if you need any help. The food is wonderful. I really love the spicy beef noodle soup but I'm a pho tai (sliced beef noodle soup) purist at heart. You get the usual plate of basil, bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeños to add to your soup and a condiment caddy with your sauces is available as well.

Came back here with some buds to give them a last try. I was really craving a Bahn mi. Thank heavens, it was exactly as i remembered from the past. Bbq pork Bahn Mi FTW! Sweet tender pieces of bbq pork nestled in a freshly baked crusty baguette, with a spread of Japanese Mayo, picked veggies, jalapeños and cilantro. I always lather them with sambal. I am salivating just thinking about it. One criticism: don't ask for a sandwich to go. The bread tasted stale, not at all like the one they served in the restaurant.

I've been here a couple times and never complain! They have a side bakery and market when you walk in that has tons of snacks. The servers are knowledgeable about the menu if you ever have questions and want to try something new!

Decided to check out this pho place out of 20+ pho locations out there in Tampa. Long story short, I never had to wait this long to get pho in my life. It was understandable as they seemed short-staffed and only 2 servers were managing 20+ tables. The taste did not disappoint though. Solid broth with good portion. If you don't mind waiting for a bit, I think this is a good pho restaurant to try

Vietnamese restaurant with lots of dishes to choose from. There's a station where you can get prepackaged dishes, fried foods, desserts and even baguettes. In the freezer section you can find fermented foods and the delicious pickled carrot and daikon that they use for the banh mi. There are enough servers and they are friendly and fast. This place is usually packed with people, especially on the weekends. There's seating inside and outside. There is enough parking outside. So far we have ordered the soups, banh mi, dumplings and some other dishes. They come out hot, fresh and tasty. We have always enjoyed them. We keep going back usually for the soups and banh mi. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

We have a crave for Vietnamese cuisine while in Tampa! "Have you been to Thinh An?". "No, but my Tampa Yelp friends highly recommended this place!" Off we go W Waters Ave." The temperature is still high, so we skip the outdoor table and seated inside with nice cool air-conditioned environment. The ambiance is simple, you have your hot sauce and other condiments on the table. A Vietnamese kitchen with pho. Banh mi. bakery, bubble Tea, desert and Tofu. They served fried Tofu and Hot and Cold Tofu. In the early morning, hot or warm Tofu are scoop up in a bowl served with honey. This is one of favorite street food in many Asia countries. We got in too late and missed the hot/warm Tofu. We order two phos (Pho Tai and Bun MQC) and two vermicelli bun. The phos were well prepared. I have Bun MQC, a vermicelli noodle soup with spare ribs, mushroom meatballs and Vietnamese ham. The scallion, onion, cilantro, bean sprouts, basil, lime and jalapeno made this a wonderful meal! The Pho Tai has that wonderful aroma that make you come back for more! The staff is super friendly and very helpful. We picked up several croissants and sesame balls for snack later. Other members packed four bags of take out orders including cold Tofu, Banh mi sandwiches, croissants, and other baked goods. They were all good! The price is reasonable and if you want Vietnamese food in Tampa, Thinh An is the place to go!

We ordered two broken rice meals to-go, but only received one small jar of fish sauce with them. As you know, fish sauce is an essential part of broken rice, and having only one portion for two meals was disappointing. After spending a considerable amount on dinner and the takeaway, we expected the same attention to detail for the to-go order as we experienced while dining in. I hope you will take this feedback constructively. Please ensure in the future that takeaway orders receive the same care and completeness as dine-in service.

Came here for dinner on a Sunday to grab some pho. The place was packed and we had to wait for a table to clear up. They definitely are all about turnover as we felt them pressuring us to leave once we finished our bowl of pho. We split an order of the Pho Dac Biet X-Large ($18), which came with sliced beef, flank, tendon, meatball, and tripe. I can see why this place is full after a bite of the pho. I also got a hot milk Vietnamese Coffee ($6), which they give you a massive 12 ounce cup. This thing will keep you up at night, so I only drank half of it.

This place had me fooled at first bite: the spring rolls were crisp, fresh, and full of promise. I was ready to become a regular! Then came the pork... If regret had a texture, it would be this: the meat was dry, and had the texture of chewed-up cardboard left in the sun. The flavor? Somewhere between confusion and betrayal. I wouldn't feed it to a stray dog out of respect for the stray.

The BEST viet food I have had in Florida so far! The vegetarian bun bo hue was so rich and beefy. I had my doubts, but the soy "beef" in the soup was delicious. I really appreciate the amount of vegetarian options that they had here. Service was great and food came out quickly even for our large table. I also love the mini market that they have on the side!

Meant to post this review about a week, maybe 2 weeks ago. I come here often for either dine-in or carry-out. The food and staff are always great. Last time I came though, I was sitting near the drink cooler towards the back of the restaurant with my boyfriend. A server named "Hung" was near the drink cooler and where all the CLEAN silverware is, when he loudly hacked up a loogie and spit it into the trashcan right next to clean chopsticks, clean forks, and napkins that are all served to customers. I couldn't finish my food, we left and I'm not sure I'll ever be back because of Hungs disgusting behavior

Came here late and got two banh mi's and a Viet iced coffee both for around $20. I really enjoyed my sandwiches and the Viet iced coffee was strong and powered me through my journey home. The service was also quick and great even helping our group with getting the deal for buy 5 banh mi get one free. The restaurant had a bakery side that I didn't get to enjoy since it was so late, but I'd consider going back.

This is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. They have ample seating options and are good for large groups. The servers are friendly and attentive. The food is spectacular. You can't go wrong with any of their dishes. This time I got the Krab Rangoon to start and the Grilled Chicken & Chicken Eggroll Vermicelli. Both were amazingly fresh and the flavor was fantastic. I can't wait to come back again soon.

Finally made it to the place a friend recommended, and their tofu is incredibly delicious! It's a Vietnamese restaurant with a diverse menu and reasonable prices There's a bakery section where you can grab snacks to go. For dine-in, pick your treats there and bring them to your table, then pay at the end. Soybean milk: They have sweet soy milk! Not sure if they offer unsweetened. Banh cuon: Similar to rice noodle rolls, filled with pork and mushrooms, the rolls are soft and thin, served with fish sauce. Seafood toast: The topping is thick and rich, with a hint of sweetness like Trader Joe's chicken cranberry salad dressing on celery. Fried tofu: Their specialty, lemongrass-flavored tofu is sweet and refreshing, incredibly tasty, and sells out quickly. The original flavor is just plain tofu, and the mushroom option adds chopped mushrooms to the base flavor. There are also mung bean sesame balls and shrimp cakes, which are similar in taste to fish cakes. Mi quang: egg noodles mixed with turmeric, fish sauce, Vietnamese ham, shrimp, ribs, quail eggs, with basil, cilantro, lettuce, and a big sesame rice cracker on the side. The soup is good for dipping the cracker, tho it's labeled spicy, it's not really spicy. Rainbow dessert: Vietnamese che sweet soup with a coconut milk base, topped with mung beans, grass jelly, sweet red beans, water chestnuts

Disclaimer: I did not sit down and eat here, I just went to the little side marketplace I've been here several years ago and had a great experience. Back then, the owner was out front greeting people and everyone that worked there was friendly. There must have been a change in ownership since I was last here, because the service standard has very much changed. The girls at the cash register were incredibly rude and slow on top of their sour attitude. The snacks were okay. The croissants were flaky and baked well, but I wished the almond croissants had more filling. The tofu pudding / Vietnamese Silken Tofu in Ginger Syrup Dessert (Tau Hu Nuoc Duong) was NOT good. For a restaurant that has "tofu" in the name, it was a serious disappointment. I will not be back.

Overall a good experience for Vietnamese individuals and families! We came from Florida and my family was really looking for Vietnamese food, which can be hard in Florida, at least where we traveled to. I found this spot on Yelp and my family was so happy! They were shocked by all the dishes and options, as well as what they were selling on the side to go. The service was fine, not great, which is typical for a Vietnamese establishment. I noticed the workers would sneeze or cough into their hands which I didn't like to see! Service is overall quick though.

First time dining in (last time I got delivery) and the pho was exactly what I needed! It's also massive! I think it's cool they have a little grab and go area too. This is definitely a go-to for good pho and just solid Vietnamese food. The service was quick too!

Dishonest employee! We live far away from this place so whenever we come here, we come with a football sized team and spend quite a bit of money. On this day of August 29th, we came, ordered our usual and while waiting, we went up to the take out food section to get a few things as we always do. By the time we were ready to check out at the counter for these items, the line was so long so we decided to take the 'take out" food to our table and go back to the register after we finished. During this time, our waiter came and offered to bag those items for us. "Sure", we said, "but keep the receipts separately", meaning to ring up dine-in and take out separately. After dinner, which was mediocre at best, we paid and parted. Unbeknownst to us, this waiter AUTOMATICALLY charged us 15% just to bag the to-go sides that'd have been done at the register for free. This is like tipping a cashier at Publix 15% for bagging your groceries. This is sneaky, wrong and dishonest. For this reason, we will NEVER come back to this place. I don't exactly remember the waiter's name. I think it's Huy or Quang and is a guy! You and your restaurant may earn a few dollars on that day, but your dishonesty lost you hundreds of dollars from my family. That is not a great tradeoff. Frankly, it's disgusting!

What a gem! So glad a friend recommended this place. Too many items to try. We did have the short rib pho, way too much meat, just the way I like it! Soup was a bit too sweet for my palate though. We bought some red bean bread, coconut cream and taro brews from the other side. The bread was not too sweet, just the right amount of filling and consistency. Cost was so good compared to my home town. Wished I had gone back to get more pastry buns to bring home.

POSTED ON GOOGLE BUT ONCE AGAIN HERE HOPING IT WOULD AT LEAST AND LAST DRAW SOME OF HER ATTENTION!! My girlfriend & I had dinner at Thinh An for Easter & the female server completely ruined our experience. She told us my fried rice would come with carrots and peas. When it came out, it only had egg. Fine, mistakes happen, but what really pissed me off was how she just didn't care. When I asked to check out, she dropped the check and literally WALKED AWAY, ignoring us while we were clearly trying to get her attention. Just straight-up RUDE!!! The other server stopped by asked to check up, apologized for what she didn't do anything wrong multiple times & refunded the dish. I would rated 1 star but the second star was for her efforts. But the part that really bothered me? They split tips

The former best example of authentic Vietnamese in Tampa Bay. They have a little market on the side where they sell many of the products they make that they use in the restaurant including fresh tofu This place has gone so far downhill over the past few years, raise their prices, at least three different times, but probably haven't actually cleaned the place since Last time we were there, we actually had to walk out because it smelled like sewer Used to be consistent, delicious, and affordable, it is none of these things anymore

Man, this place was packed, or at least it was even on a Sunday at like 3 pm when we thought it would be empty. It was quite a wait, and the parking lot never had an empty spot. Frustrating as that is, that's a good sign, right? The menu is extensive, and there are a lot of photos for people like me who are easily confused. My family said they usually get the food to go to avoid the crowds, and also the portions are huge. The spring rolls come in a pair, but they are huge rolls with chopped peanuts topping the peanut sauce. The #62d. Chicken egg pan fried rice noodle looks cool with its star-like presentation and a tasty pile of vegetables and meat in the middle. The #35a. Vermicelli w/ stir fried lemongrass chicken is a safe choice and tasty option, piled high and coming with a sauce and peanut crunchies to top as needed. The kids enjoyed the variety of bubble tea + bubble options. The service was a little slow because it was crowded, and personally I think to go is a fantastic option. They make good leftovers, and you will definitely have leftovers.

Depending on the item you get it can be 10/10 or straight up mid 5/10. For the most part coming here twice now each dish is lacking something and not fully authentic. Not sure why people are hyping this place up. Viet kitchen down the road is way better and cleaner. This place gets super busy there are a lot of tables inside and outside. You can shop for individual snacks and appetizers on the side too. Their menu is too big in my opinion. They should make it smaller and focus on quality over quantity

Hadn't been blessed with good pho since pre-pandemic times. Boy oh boy did they deliver. I had the beef pho, fully loaded with brisket, flank, tripe, meatballs, and tendon. The flavors were in point in the broth. The goodies were plentiful. The add-ons were all there. All the veggies, all the sauces. The experience was complete. Seizing my opportunity, I also ordered a grilled pork bahn mi. While not as superior as the pho, the sandwich hit the spot and came through with the most important qualities: soft bread, tender and savory meat, bright pickled veggies, and just enough mayo to keep things moist and creamy. We washed the meal down with mango bubble tea which was honestly better than most bubble tea shops and actually tasted like tea and fruit instead of straight-up chemicals and sugar. The place was packed, and was a funny mix of indoor dining, semi-outdoor dining, a deli counter, a hot food bar, and a mini market. The servers were stretched a bit thin but our food still came out super fast. Prices were reasonable. The menu is long and has all the hits that the people expect from a Vietnamese restaurant. The robust vegetarian section of the menu put a smile on my wife's faces We will be back.

I came here twice with my family on my recent trip to Tampa. Both times service and food quality were really high. Any time you come here expect a short wait time for a table and your food. The staff is trained really well. Even with the busy dining room we were seated in less than 2 minutes. When you walk in they have have plenty of tables on the right. A hot food bar and to go dishes on the left. They feature all types of Vietnamese traditional dishes, desserts, drinks and home cooked meals. My family and I ordered everything from the Banh Xeo, Banh Bao, Pho Tai, Bun Bo Hue, Banh Mi, Crab Bun Rieu, fish sauce wings, and the shaking beef. Wow textures and flavors were on point. Their menu is very extensive. I was surprised even with so many soups each of them tasted unique and tasted authentic. Definitely recommend ordering their Bun Rieu, Bun Bo Hue and wings. Staff here is so friendly and the value you get for each of the dishes was perfect. I did notice some of the to go dishes looked kind of high so I stayed away from them. You can get full spending less than $30 here. Save some room for their famous sugar cane drink.

There was a good amount of tables. Consistent amount of patrons. Exceptional amount of waitstaff who came around to give food hot and ready and take away dishes when needed. A very well ran business. The owner even came by to say hi. There is also an area you can buy ready to go meals. I wish I had room for the thit kho. It's not on the menu but you can buy ready to go. They also have banh mi bread freshly baked. Ordered: Vietnamese coffee: quite large. Came In a boba cup. Nice and easy to take home if you don't finish. I wish it were more strong. I didn't feel like it was brewed with the Phin filter. Maybe because it was so large, it was diluted with condensed milk and ice? I prefer a strong coffee. Pho dac biet: Ample delicious cuts of fatty flank and tendon. The beef ball was amazingly tender. A good amount of noodle. For me, the broth was a bit sweet. Maybe northern Vietnam taste as I didn't taste much star anise or all spice. Duck soup: Had egg noodle. Broth had more flavor. And a Smokey duck taste. Only the duck had mostly fat and bone. The chili oil: I am always happy to see chili oil offered. Every single restaurant makes it in their special way. Be warned, the spice lingers. A little goes a long way. Overall, is a good place. I'd like to try the thit kho and to go options. The pho broth was not for me.

So glad to have found this gem while staying in Tampa! We had just disembarked from a cruise and was really craving some comfort food that wasn't too heavy. Pho sounded lovely but not being from the area we weren't sure exactly where to go. Happy to be able to find out about this place on yelp and after reading the reviews we decided to give it a go. One of the best desicions we madeon this trip! We went during dinner on a Monday and it was pretty busy. Even still with them being busy we still received amazing service. The staff were so patient and really just watching how they handled certain needy customers was applaudable. The space isn't huge though it isn't too small either. They have a whole dining area, as well as boba counter, and a deli-ish prepared foods area too! The amount of options they have definitely did not take away from the quality of their dishes and we were so grateful. Service was amazing, food was delicious, we def will be back when in the area!

Authentic Vietnamese food that is served by their great staff, in a great bustling atmosphere. Everything that we ordered the soups, spring rolls, lotus salad with shrimp, and pork,and Bahn Mi's were all very good. The service couldn't have been better. This is a very popular local spot so depending when you arrive, there may be a slight wait, but the food is well worth it.

They have everything. I love the idea where I can get all my cravings in one place. Banh mi is such a good price, broth from the pho is amazing. You can also get boba.

Love their chunky fried tofu! A casual and humming place. Better part of the premises is sit down area and to the left is take out area where trays of goodies are abundant. A friend treated me last week of their fried tofu - so good, we come to buy more today -:) We also have their Thai beer with #13 beef soup noodles, #35 cold noodles and #66 short ribs. The later two are on the sweet side.

I LOVE Thing An Kitchen & Tofu!!! I've tried their whole menu at this point. My favorites are their thai tea, roasted pork & wonton egg noodle soup (#26), and roasted pork sandwich (#81). The food is authentic, delicious and reasonable priced! The staff is amazing - very kind, and quick. Highly recommend!!!
