Bamboozle serves up Vietnamese cuisine in Seminole Heights, and I recently found out they have a weekend breakfast menu we needed to check out. We ordered two excellent items. The Spam & Eggs Breakfast Bánh Mi came on their house made bánh mì with fluffy eggs, crispy fried Spam, pickled veggies, and house scallion sauce. The Sausage & Egg Breakfast Bao featured house made nem pork sausage and fluffy eggs on a soft, pillowy fresh bao, also topped with house scallion sauce. For a sweet finish to all the savory bites, we ordered the Viet Style Beignets with condensed milk and roasted peanuts. Everything was washed down with a delicious Salted Sesame Vietnamese Cold Foam Coffee. If you haven't tried breakfast at Bamboozle yet, it's definitely worth a stop for great coffee and some really tasty bites. read more

Very friendly staff and delicious food. I've been here twice and had the wraps and Pho. Everything I taste makes me want to try something else. It's a refreshing option in an area dominated by average American food. Why didn't I find this place sooner? read more

It's been some time since I've visited Bamboozle - and it was the downtown location which is no longer there. This place...has been here, what!? 7 years or so? WOW.. My bad for not making it here sooner... I love their little outdoor area. And they even have an outdoor counter facing into the inside area. We sat at a regular table out there. The inside seemed a little squishy. Ok we ordered a lot of food... For starters we had the Okinawan purple potato dumplings...those were good... One friend ordered like tacos? And we also had beef garlic Bahn mi and a small beef pho.... All very good. They offer drinks in a cooler (bottles/cans, etc) but I opted for just plain water. Now that I've finally been to this location, I won't be too long before going back. They are also very nice here...they let us stay until after closing time, it was a bit early on a week night, so keep that in mind... read more

Literally one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa, let alone Seminole heights. They use fresh ingredients in their rolls. I usually get the lemongrass beef with the zesty sauce. Don't forget to add a boba, the jackfruit smoothie is yummmy! This location has difficulty with parking, so be mindful of that and maybe carpool. The shabby chic vibe of the interior and exterior coupled with the fast & friendly service make this a hot spot! read more

This is such a great place very close to ZooTampa! You order at the counter and then they will bring it to you at your seat. I love the Thai tea it's very hard to find places that make it with oat milk but here they do and it's soo good! The vibe is casual and perfect for a quick lunch or dinner! My pho lasted me 2 days because of how big it is! I would definitely go back! read more

Service: 3.5/5 Food: 4/5 Price: $20-$30 Open concept space, such minimal decorations it looks unfinished. Came here previously for lunch, returned this time to try their new breakfast menu. Everything is pretty solid. Owner works in the morning + clearly has a lot of love for the food. Looks all female-run, so respect. Tip: Order + pay first, find your own seating. They bring out your food + bus the table. *Would Recommend What I Ordered: - Breakfast Beignets (Compote): fluffy, not too sweet - *Breakfast Baos (Sausage + Egg): Viet sausage so good, personally did not like the lemongrass, oily - Congee (Pork): flavorful, savory-take - Pâté Chaud: flaky, dry pastry; like a chicken meatball - *Breakfast Banh Mi (Spam + Egg): mayo heavy, soft bread, good flavor - *Breakfast Bagel: chewy, flaky, cheesy, I think it's an online trend now - Stir Fry Okra: only version of okra I've liked, not slime-y; not sure if it's offered anymore read more

We stopped by for a quick lunch at Bamboozle Heights which majority serves up a variety of classic Vietnamese dishes. Inside is really clean and has a very bright aesthetic. On the day we went (Tuesday) they had a half off special on Pho which was great! The beef pho was unfortunately just okay. Between the broth flavor which was decent, the quantity of meat being small (maybe because of the half off), and the noodle seemingly shorter than what I typically see, I was not too impressed. Bear in mind that this is coming from someone who grew up eating Pho religiously and has had more bowls of pho than almost any other noodle dish. There's simply a depth of flavor lacking in this broth that was the main achilles heel. If this is your first time having pho, then I think this bowl does it's job. But for a seasoned pho-eater, it fell short of where it could be. read more

Food here is fantastic and staff is lovely and attentive. It's such a cute spot for a relaxed cozy lunch with all their plants, even the table numbers come on a little plant! The rolls were delicious, I got the tofu with peanut sauce. First time having Vietnamese iced coffee and it was soooo good! I got the beignets too, also good but I like tons of powdered sugar so would probably request extra next time. Will for sure be back! read more

This is my second visit to Bamboozle, but my first time at the Seminole Heights location. The last visit was at the Channelside location before it closed, but then it reopened under a different Yelp profile so my review was lost. Go figure. I do like that this location has more parking than its predecessors. Unfortunately, the clientele don't park in them very well which makes it difficult to find a space wide enough to park in during peak times. That's my only gripe. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. Place your order at the counter and they give you a flower vase with a number to take to your table. The food comes out hot & fresh. I love that the emphasis is on the fresh veggies in the Banh Mi sandwiches and the fresh rolls. They are nice & crisp. The bread is toasted and has a nice crunch. The grilled pork is plentiful & tasty with the pâte and mayo. It's a good sandwich. The Crispy Duck fresh roll is my favorite. I love that they include one of those crispy baked spring roll sticks inside the fresh roll. I've only had that one other time at Roll Play in the DC area. It gives it a nice crunch. Although, I may be imaging that the one at Bamboozle had one. I could have sworn there was a crunchy stick but my friend didn't get that same experience. The shrimp fresh roll is good, and I totally appreciate the size of the shrimp. I just wish it had that smoky char grill taste that I've had elsewhere in Riverview. Other than that, it was a good visit. The food was brought to our table in a good amount of time. I'd go back again if ever in that area. I just don't go to Seminole Heights very often. I keep saying that I'll try the pho next time. It's just too difficult to pass up the Fresh Rolls. Try to catch them when they're having their "Fresh Roll Wednesday" special. It's a buy 2, get 1 free deal. read more

Though a goofy name, we left feeling the opposite of Bamboozled as the meals we had were delicious and a great overall experience. The thing I will come back for is the mangonada smoothie- the mix of the salty from the tajin with the tart fruity mango was fabulous. I got a bowl that was almost a Vietnamese version of a salad and it was so refreshing. We also thought the broth from the pho was wonderful, it tasted a little different from other pho I have tried. Not sure the difference but this stood out in the best way. read more

I was good with a small pho after long trip from other countries. I was arrive during noon time. There are several patron during that time. Not busy. I got small beef pho and traditional fresh roll. Both of them just ok. The broth is good for the pho. But the noodle is kind of 30% of the full pho with 3.5 slice of beef. Not much of veggie. The fresh roll is one but has good shrimp and grilled pork in it. Price wise is a bit high with the amount of food. Overall is just average. read more

Absolutely amazing food and service. Highly recommend the pho, is a must and huge portions

Good pho. Great for lunch. Enjoyed everything we had. Only disappointment is we wanted to sit outside but the furniture was very worn.

The food is delicious and healthy with a variety of fresh vegetables. The atmosphere is casual. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to you. They do have beer and wine options available for purchase. Our bowls were delicious but the highly was the sauces. read more

I loved going to Bamboozle Heights. Upon entering, I loved how the exterior of the building is decorated. It gave me cozy home vibes where you can sit out in the porch and just relax. The interior is basically the same way, with beautiful decor and plants. The staff were friendly and helpful and made my experience one of the best. The seafood pho was delicious. Very hearty and flavorful. The dragonfruit passion tea was amazing. I will definitely be returning!! read more

My wife and I first fell in love with Bamboozle when they were downtown in a tiny little storefront. So when that closed, we were so upset! It hit every single time!! But then we moved to Tampa and found this newly opened location in Seminole Heights so we had to go! First off, IT'S SO CUTE IN THERE!! The food is just as delicious as we remember but now they have cocktails and smoothies too?! Every single thing we've had from there has been amazing. The pho is always on point, the okra is one of the best things I've ever tasted and you HAVE to try at least one of their cocktails. Update: We've been back a couple times in the past year and it seems like the flavors and quality of food have gone down a bit. They change their menu quite often which is lovely so I'll have to go back and see if it was just the items I ordered at that time. read more

I'll be back., Food was delicious. Awesome service. I like the Clean, simple decor. Cozy casual vibe. So friendly and helpful. Many "GF" & "V" options. My friend and I were there twice. I'm going back again with more friends this weekend. Pho was yummy. Drink choices were vast. They have All the ways you want to pay. It's got a "FK" $$ pricey and good quality vibe without all the loud noise and loud decor. Back into your parking spot. It's hell getting in and out of there. Carpool if you can. All small spots. I'LL BE BACK. read more

Bamboozle Heights - Trying a couple things. All delicious - Salad Near Me - Tampa Bay, Florida

A quaint restaurant near Zoo Tampa. About a 4 min drive. My family and I came across this place on our way home from the Zoo. Upon entering we sat ourselves and a young lady came over to let us know we need to order at the counter. She was nice enough to also bring us menus. We ordered the following: Fresh Rolls- 4/5- Traditional and Shrimp. Both were elevated by the sauce provided. Duck Boozle Bowl- 4/5- all ingredients were fresh. The duck was not what we expected especially for the price. It was chopped sautéed pieces of duck meat. Almost seemed like a ground duck texture but wasn't ground. Seafood Pho- 4/5- it was flavorful and included mussels, shrimp and calamari. The shrimp seemed to be sliced down the middle making the portion of shrimp included appear to be more. Soursop Smoothie- 5/5- Great tropical taste and not overly sweet. A hint of sweetness which was perfect for me. Vietnamese Coffee with toffee- 5/5 the toffee was light, airy and had a cookie crunch to it. The coffee was perfect. Thai Tres Leches Cake- 3/5- the Thai tea flavor lacked. It just had the color of the tea but tasted like a lightly sweetened regular tres leches cake. Ube Chocolate Chip Cookie- 3/5- again the Ube flavor lacked. It tasted like a normal chocolate chip cookie. It was also lightly sweetened which I appreciated. read more

Great pho spot with an awesome deal, 50% off large pho on Tuesdays! You order at the counter, get a number, and your meal is brought to your table. Heads up: parking is limited during dinner hours, so street parking might be your best bet. Don't miss out on their delicious treats, including gluten-free cookie options. My favorite is the pistachio cookies. SO GOOD! What I ordered: - Traditional Fresh Rolls: Tiger shrimp, sesame pork, cucumber, mint, chive, & peanut sauce - Chicken Pho: Poached chicken breast - Bamboozle Bakes Cookies: pistachio read more

I was really excited to try out Bamboozle for breakfast but overall wasn't too impressed. We ordered a bunch of shareable plates and some iced coffees and overall the dishes were ok. Of all the savory dishes the spam breakfast bao buns were good but even those were fairly simple and almost tasted like they were lacking something. The beignets were tasty but the compote on top tasted very strongly almost like a wine jam. I enjoyed it for a sweet dish but my daughter did not like the jam topping whatsoever. We also go the breakfast bagel and I was really excited to try this but it was definitely lacking ingredients. It had eggs and spam inside but I was thinking it would also have a cream cheese which if it did I did not taste any at all. It was edible but very dry and if I went back I would not order it again. I tried the toasted sesame Vietnamese iced coffee and this was probably the most disappointing latte. It came last after we had almost finished breakfast and on top of that was not good. I was advised the coffee was super sweet so I asked if it could be made a little less sweet and it was extremely bitter not even the toasted sesame cold foam helped it. Probably would not go back for breakfast although some of the lunch dishes that were coming out as we were having breakfast did not look bad. I feel like the breakfast was overhyped on social media and def not worth it. One thing I will say the Taro Milk Tea was very good. It was the most expensive of the drinks so I'm happy at least my daughter enjoyed that. read more

Parking is tight so carpool if you can! This place is a great healthier option with vegan and gluten free alternative options. It's my first time at this location. Their fresh rolls are yummy and come with their own sauce that pairs perfectly. My favorite rolls are the beef and duck. I think they do the rolls pretty darn well here so make sure you try one! The inside is super cute. It was a lovely night to enjoy dinner outside. Staff are very friendly. read more

If you like Vietnamese and find yourself in Seminole Heights this place is simply pho you :) This is giving all the aesthetic of Miami meets SE Asia patio, it's a counter service so you can order them grab a seat inside, outside or at the bar if you prefer. We went on a Sat afternoon and it was pretty chill with fast service. We got the Garlic beef noodle salad $15.50, which was pretty tasty but felt on the small side for the price. Would love to go back and try more of the menu. read more

There's so many things to love about this place. I've been here twice for lunch. I feel like the best time is to go on Tuesdays when their Pho is half off (dine in only). I wish I would've asked about other specials they offered during the week, but this is the only special that I know. The portions are filling and the food is flavorful! The employees are nice. They don't talk much but they always smile. Next time I wanted to try their gluten free desserts! read more

This place is awesome. Initially my boyfriend and I got there around 10:40am not realizing the lunch menu starts at 11am. No big deal. We left and came back at lunch time. We ordered two small pho (one beef and one chicken) a bbq chicken fresh roll, a poke fresh roll, and the banh mi tacos. When I say everything hit the spot, it really did. Both phos were very flavorful. They give you hoisin and hot sauce to flavor your own broth, and bean sprouts, lime, etc to add at your discretion. The fresh rolls indeed tasted very fresh and were very filling. The tacos were amazingly crisp and the pickled daikon and carrots added the perfect tang. My only complaint (if you really want to call it that) is that the tacos tend to fall apart after one bite, but that's because they're so crispy! The ambiance was really nice. Casual but classy at the same time. The service was friendly and helpful! Will definitely be back. read more

Came in for lunch with my coworkers. Parking is tight and the place isn't very big. Location is right next door to Bo's Ice Cream. It's a walk up and order establishment and they give you a table number for delivery to the table of your food. Upon walking in, the smell was fresh. Seating inside and outside available. Staff was friendly and able to explain the items on the menu. I ordered the passion mango tea which they make and bottle. The tea was extremely sweet! I had to get a cup of water and pour the tea into the water to dilute it. Also ordered the tofu yellow curry which was very tasty, just lacked more veggies. For apps we got the fried spring rolls, crab Rangoon and dumplings. Spring rolls were the clear winner. They were delicious! Crab Rangoon had an overpowering taste of lemongrass. Very strong, almost to the point of tasting somewhat fishy. And the texture of the cream filling needs to be thicker. The dumplings were raw! They were cold inside. Sent them back and took forever to get the replacement so we just got them to go. Great that we tried this place but just not for us. read more

Cozy little spot with a very friendly bustling atmosphere, would recommend the banh mi, probably one of the best around. Very cute place with excellent service and smiling faces. Definitely felt like a nice hole in the wall for Asian food! Will be returning! read more

Cute little local place! Casual dining, but feels a bit more upscale due to the smart design choices they made (sp in the outdoor patio area). Their prices are *very* reasonable, particularly for the Seminole Heights - Tampa area. My husband ordered one of their bahn mi sandwiches (he said it tasted average, unfortunately). BUT! I ordered their RED CURRY NOODLES and omg, it's the best red curry dish I've had anywhere in Tampa Bay after we lost that stellar Thai restaurant in Madeira Beach (IYKYK - last we heard, the former owner became an exec. chef for the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel). Back to Bamboozle Heights! We really appreciated how much variety their menu had and all the fresh ingredients they used. We found this spot thanks to the Offline restaurant club and so glad we did. This is now my go-to resto whenever I'm craving a good, complex, and QUICK red curry. read more

This was such a nice restaurant. Decor is really nice and the patio is nicely shaded and plenty of room to study. They had a variety of drinks and the mango lemonade was hitting! So fresh and not overly sweet. I went with the vegan dumplings, since they're only available on the weekends and the custom bowl with beef. Al of it was so fresh and the flavors were light, if that makes sense. The staff was super knowledgeable and so nice to chat with. 10/10 for them read more

Very bright and clean interior with outside dining as well. A different kind of vibe. You have to walk up to the counter to place your order and pay up front and if you're dining in they will give you a small water filled bottle with a # for table numberings the dishes are cooked someone will bring to your table. All the dishes looked good and the presentation was well thought out. I did find the flavorings all lacked a bit on papaya salad, banh mi sandwich. The crispy lemon grass wings were a bit too salty with it being a watery sauce. The crepe was a bit soggy and did not hold up and just fell apart, only some edges was crispy. All in all it was a decent lunch read more
