A solid 'Meh'. There were things I really liked and things I didn't. For a To go place they have sit down prices. I just dropped a bill on two Phos, two coffees, one order of banana tapioca pudding and an ice tea. They don't serve water but they will sell you a Fuji for five bucks. First, what I liked. The Vietnamese coffee. At seven dollars it had to be good. Now, for the indifference... The premade spring rolls were ok. Nothing special but once again overpriced. The banana tapioca pudding has zero, I mean zero tapioca in it. I got the beef Pho and it was not only very bland but the lack of beef for that much money was astonishing. It was almost non existent. Just a couple bites. I mean, I was looking for it under the noodles at one point. I never want to write a bad review, I really want to praise everyone but my girl and I are leaving here with a hundred bucks less and still hungry. Step it up. Money is tight these days so you have to shine. read more

BT To Go - Vietnamese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Went here after a yoga class because I wanted some good food for the soul. It was a chilly night and I knew that BT has the best pho in town. My friend had never been here before and I was so excited to show her. I ordered the chicken pho and my friend ordered the tofu pho. We got it togo because we felt bad they were closing in 30 minutes but the woman brought it out to us in the wooden bowls because she said "it tastes better this way." The soup was silky and had just the right about of saltiness. I like my pho spicy so I added sriracha and extra hoisin sauce. I loved the fresh pieces of cilantro! The parking was so easy and although the bowl of pho was $17, they give you a huge portion so you could even take the rest home (it was too good I ate it all this time) Best soup for a cold night. Another successful experience. read more

BT To Go - Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

this place is an occasional visit for me. mostly when i dont want to travel out of south tampa..theres better pho out there. $18 for a bowl a pho and $15 for a banh mi. not enough meat in the pho/ depth of flavor in the broth its an over all just ok pho but its pricey without the wow factor. the banh mi was nice. it comes out warm i love the pate and fresh cilantro. i come here for the banh mi (consistently good) it was a nice warm feel good meal on a cold day. the pho comes with a hoisin/ siracha mix, lots of fresh herbs, beans sprouts and noodles But the to go setup is awkward for the soups. i would not recommend. they skimp you on protein and its WAY overcooked when you take out, and its a TO GO spot! and they should provide an additional container to combine the noodles and broth. limited seating. pretty quick service. they have premade grab and go bowls, salads, and juices. its close to bayshore and ballast point park so i love to order out and eat by the water. read more

I just spoke with Emily & she should absolutely not be working with customers. Will never order from here again because she lied & was completely rude. Terrible service, I am appalled thinking of that phone call I couldn't not review. read more

Not worth what you pay Tasteless $19 pho served just with a slice of lime and the hoisin sauce...No Thai basil, onions, chili We were charged extra.50 cts for a tiny soy sauce cup...GOOD PHO doesn't need soy sauce! CMN! The $20 duck bahn mi same tasteless and greasy! We checked their menu online, duck magret is only $17.50...how come? $15 green papaya salad , tasteless, nothing spectacular for a called bistro and authentic vietnamese food!!!! Decent fried roll , not Cha Gio don't be fooled! Totally tasteless and expensive food! Don't waste your money I DON'T RECOMMEND AT ALL read more

The name "to go" is in their name but you should not order the pho to go! They put everything together in shared containers which means the herbs were wilted from the heat of the noodles. The beef was all shriveled up from sitting in hot broth. No sriracha was included and the broth was super bland. I will never order pick up from here again. I order pho from all over and this has to be the worst I've had. Really hoping it was an off night for whomever was in their kitchen but they really need some training on how to pack their food to go! read more

BT To Go - a bowl of soup with meat and vegetables - Vietnamese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I get the Bun Bowl w/out protein because I meal prep on the weekend and I spiced it up myself for $10.25 (life hack y'all) by adding my own oven baked chicken or the other alternative is that you can pay $16 w/taxes for a Bun Bowl + protein (My friend, Jojo, added tofu to hers). I'm trying to spend around $10 for lunch, so I think this hack is a great option for someone like myself. The prices are more compared to a traditional Viet restaurant. I like the bun bowl a lot because it includes pickled dikon & crunchy strips of cucumber layered with lettuce along with mint + basil amongst other veggies with noodles. The sriracha kicks it up a notch. I love the vine creeping up the window on the inside with the long table, so you can share a meal w/someone or sit outside in the patio area. I'm a fan of this place & so happy I got to try it out after all this time! read more

Wonderful, flavorful delicious food choices at BT To Go. This is a sister location to their more formal restaurant further south on MacDill. The portion sizes are large enough to share. We typically order the chicken pho, cucumber salad and the chili chicken salad. The salad is a flavor explosion and truly such a tasty and healthy option. You must try the peanut sauce, it's fabulous! read more

Ordered on uber eats. Now, I need to say that I have been a big fan for years. I would often stop in a grab meals before heading into work. Unfortunately, I cannot say that anymore. My ordered arrived quickly and I was excited to eat. All I can say, is that it is different. I can't put my finger on it but it is. I'm about a quarter of a way through my rice noodle salad with pork ___and I'm giving give up. For about 20.00, this salad should have been amazing! I can only assume, this is what happens when there is NO quality control. I'm sad to leave this review. But I need to alert others, so they don't share in the same disappointment. read more

Tried BT's for the first time tonight and it was a great experience. I ordered the Famous Chili Chicken Salad which had chicken, peanuts, cilantro and cabbage in it. The small is 24 oz and large is 48oz (large is pictured). Also pictured is the Beef Pho which was a very generous portion size as well. If you would like to dine there, I would recommend sitting outside as the inside is a bit small. read more

I was working in South Tampa and decided to go here for a late lunch. Small place because they do mostly to go but they do have three seats outside and a table inside. I ordered the fresh roll which was very good, fresh, flavorful and the peanut sauce with the Sriracha in it was good. I also ordered the Bánh mì with pork, that was absolutely fabulous. The roll was soft and fresh, the pork was juicy along with all the veggies on it and the soy aïoli was a pretty perfect Bánh mì sandwich. I also had a Jasmine iced tea that was very good. The only downside to this is the location and the prices. The prices are definitely higher than other Vietnamese places but then you have to know the neighborhood and then you know why read more

I have been meaning to try BT-To-Go and finally had the chance this past Friday. My husband and I decided that we were too tired to cook or dine out so we ordered food from BT-To-Go via UberEATS. My experience with premade food has usually not been positive so I was pleasantly surprised how fresh and tasty the food was from BT-To-Go. We ordered the following dishes. Chicken Fresh Rolls: 5/5 Flavor explosion! These rolls are the bomb! How can you go wrong with anything that includes hoisin and peanut sauce? Banh Mi Sandwich w/ pork: 4/5 Delicious! There is an option to make a more decadent Bahn Mi with truffle mousse and foie gras mousse, but I'm not a fan of truffles and didn't want to pay the steep price of $15.95 so I opted for the house made pork terrine at $7.95. The French baguette was a tad on the tough side and I would have preferred if the sandwich included jalapenos so I docked one star. Beef Pho: 5/5 I'm not a pho expert, but the beef pho was great. $12.95 seemed like a bargain for the gigantic quart sized portion that we received. Rice Vermicelli Salad " Bun" Bowl w/ pork: 5/5 We had no clue what to expect, but the description sounded good so we ordered this dish. I highly recommend adding pork to the salad. The mammoth sized salad was still under $13 even though we added pork for an additional $4.50. Overall we loved our meal and thought that everything tasted really fresh even though it wasn't made to order. Prices seemed a little expensive, but the portions were large and all of the ingredients used were of high quality. I'm always looking for healthier dining options so we will definitely be getting take-out from BT-To-Go again! read more

My first time eating here and I'm so impressed by BT To Go! I ordered the tofu fresh rolls and tofu pho, both were incredible. Honestly the best pho I've had in Tampa, and the tofu is cooked perfectly. The inside is small, but so cute and welcoming. Staff was super friendly and delicious food!!! It's like a hidden gem I will definitely be back read more

I was feeling like banh mi but didn't want to drive up to Waters. BT to go to the rescue! It's basically what you'd expect casual Vietnamese to be in south Tampa. It's cpntemporary, organic, clean, and double the price of any place in Waters. I had the On the Street banh mi and a green tea limeade. The sandwich was good, a sanitized version of a traditional banh mi. The drink was awesome but pricey. I will return the next time I crave Vietnamese food but don't have time to drive further north. read more

One of my favorite spots in Tampa! Every item I've tried is fresh and ddddeeeeliiicciousssss. You can't expect anything less than from the baby resto of Restaurant BT. My go to order is the organic pork banh mi with iced jasmine tea and the Vietnamese coffee. Oh man, the Vietnamese coffee. Probably the best I've ever tried? It's too perfect.

Order an organic pork banh mi with jasmine tea. Get a Vietnamese coffee to go. Drive to Ballast. Sip on the coffee and catch some Pokemon. Fin.

BT To Go is Chef BT Nguyen's sister restaurant to her wildly-popular Restaurant BT, also located along MacDill Avenue. BT To Go can be found just beyond the Selmon Expressway in a strip mall, and it is a small Vietnamese restaurant serving healthy lunch items designed for a quick meal-on-the-go. My lunch buddy, Yelper Michelle M, and I met at the restaurant for lunch one day as she was on a tight schedule from work. BT To Go has a display case / ordering station, and one long table inside, with seating for about 10 people. Outside there are a few smaller tables under a covered porch, but beyond that, most folks were popping in to grab a carryout order. The menu is very fresh Vietnamese food with a traditional French twist. You'll find the usual steamed rice paper rolls, soups, salads, Banh Mi sandwiches, Pho noodle soups, rice vermicelli noodle bowls, vegetarian and curry stews, and a nice mixture of rice bowls and balanced lunch options, all ready to eat on the spot, or to grab and go. I ordered the Salmon Soba bowl, which was Alaskan wild pink salmon, baby bok-choy, sugar snap peas, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, and soba noodles, served in a ginger-Ponzu broth. I paired that with a glass of their very delicious Green Tea Limeade, and then sat at one of the outside tables with Michelle to enjoy lunch. Be forewarned that you'll be overlooking the parking lot which can be insanely busy with people also looking to dine at Yoko Sushi and Osteria Natalina in that same strip mall. The food was surprisingly fresh, and delivered to our table very quickly. We were able to enjoy a nice lunch, and still get Michelle back to her office on time. The ability to get a seat at this restaurant can be hit-or-miss, but the food is superb. Just be flexible with your plans if all of the seating is full when you get there. BT To Go is open from 10am - 8pm Monday - Saturday. read more

BT To Go's main selling point is quick Vietnamese food in South Tampa. It has location more than anything. I will start off by saying the vegetarian pumpkin soup is exquisite and hands down the best dish. Everything else I've had has been bland, uninspired, and overpriced. The pho was OK, the banh mi was OK, the spring rolls were OK, the cucumber side salad was OK... You get my point. I've learned my lesson and just go there for the pumpkin soup now. It's simply the best thing on their menu (and something you can't find elsewhere). If you want pho you're better going to one of the many Vietnamese places on Waters Ave. or Simply Pho on Fletcher., for a fraction of the price too. read more

The banh mi and spring rolls were really good but the bun was only average. It was a little bland and the pork was not what I expect for bun (pieces were too chunky, marinade was not sweet enough, etc.). Definitely not worth the price of the dish. I would order from here again but not bun. read more

Why 5 stars? Because this is my new favorite lunch spot in South Tampa! --- --- --- I am so excited for this place! It was one of the best meals I've had in Tampa in quite some time. I'd only been to Restaurant BT once, and loved it, so I was pumped to find a cheaper, lunch alternative. I tried a shrimp roll, a pork banh mi sandwich, and some vietnamese coffee. All three were the best I've ever had. Every bite and sip of each was better than the one before. As I was enjoying this heavenly experience, I was imagining Chef BT in the back performing food science projects with NASA-level funding, in an effort to preserve the life span of citizens by 10-fold by eating perfect food. I can confidently say now that I'll live to be 800. If you're just looking to pick up some take-out, there are freshly prepared/packaged meals waiting for you to take home and heat up! If you've ever gone to a Fitlife Foods, it's very similar to that concept, without that annoying D word (diet) associated :) Chef - you are a genius. I'm so glad you have doubled your restaurant total! read more

Do you crave fresh, delicious and local? Go here. BT Nguyen is the friendly, talented chef that rocks this spot. The original location is right near this quick version, and both are an updated take on classic French-Vietnamese cuisine. This spot is the quick fix or take home for meals during the week. There is one long community table inside and some small tables on the porch out front. We headed in yesterday for a late lunch fix and I was blown away by the flavors. From the iced Vietnamese coffee to the Bun noodle bowl, I was beyond satisfied. We each had a Fresh Shrimp Roll with Gulf shrimp, mixed herbs, bean sprouts, lettuce, with a tamarind-hoisin-peanut sauce and they were so crisp. The sauce made them for sure, delicious blend. I feasted (read: sucked it down like a hoover) on the "BUN" Noodle Salad Bowl with Rice vermicelli, mixed herbs, lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumber, daikon radish, roasted peanuts, shallots, nuoc mam with Galangal chicken. I was so into this dish that as I was chatting with Brett I was totally eating with my mouth full, Sorry, Brett (not really tho). BT was there and she was lovely. Can't wait to check out the original spot when I return. If their ToGo has me this happy, I can only imagine. read more

BT To Go is the sister restaurant to Restaurant BT, located less than a mile away. Chef BT Nguyen opened BT To Go in order to provide more options for restaurant patrons who wanted a quick bite and lunch items not available during the dinner hours. The restaurant is simply decorated in a modern style. There is limited interior and patio seating. There is a refrigerated case where you can quickly pick up dishes if you choose to walk-in instead of ordering ahead. I ordered the Shrimp Fresh Rolls and the Bún (Rice Vermicelli Salad) Bowl with Pork. Both dishes were very good. The Chili and Peanut sauce accompanying the Fresh Rolls was very savory and I hope I remember to order an extra one next time I am in. The Bún was delicious. It was very light and fresh. The portion was more than generous and I was able to have it for both lunch and dinner. Lauren was the staff member on duty and was very friendly on the phone while taking my order and ringing me up. Prices here are quite a bit higher than most of the traditional Vietnamese restaurants, but I don't mind paying for the convenience of the location. Also, there is a very limited beverage selection. I will definitely return to try out some of the other dishes offered and order the pho next time! read more

Much of the same BT menu but with a fast-casual eat in or take out. There is one community table inside and a couple of small tables outside the entry.

This is a cute little tenant space in the corner of a small boutique plaza on South McDill in South Tampa. This is an extension of their fine dining restaurant further up north on MacDill Avenue. The selections are fresh. If made ahead of time, some of the food is made that morning or fresher. This to go restaurant features a small area for a few seats and tables outside and a long table with seats on the inside for those who are too hungry to take home. Their staff is very friendly and will serve your table if you choose to eat there. Otherwise, most customers that I've witnessed are there for pick up. The decour is very trendy and clean with a Vietnamese style. This is a good stop if you're craving fresh Vietnamese cuisine. They have a wide selection of fresh made iced teas and other ready to go items in their display fridge. The menu is relatively limited versus the fine dining restaurant, but equally as delicious. This is a good place to consider if you're hungry on the go, but looking for healthier option. read more

My husband wasn't feeling well tonight so we decided to order in from BT to go. We got two orders of the organic chicken curry stew and an order of pumpkin soup. The food was delivered quickly and it all tasted good. However, we both felt it was extremely over priced. Each Chicken Curry Stew was $16.50 and the pumpkin soup was $10. The stew was mostly sauce and had very little chicken or other ingredients. Overall, I didn't think it was a good value. read more

Been a fan of BT's food for years and have been looking forward to her newest endeavor. Being able to get gourmand level food without sitting for two hours and to get it to go sounds too good to be true. However it is true. My first trip I left with a foie gras banh mi which was heavenly and spring rolls (similar to what's at BT). Otherwise the menu is pretty different. Banh mi, salads, soup, appetizers, pho and "pre-made/ packaged" entrees. I'm jazzed to work my way down the menu and hopefully new items will be introduced over time. Nice small space with a few tables to sit inside and outside. Great addition to south Tampa!! read more

Finding really flavorful ready-to-eat foods that are well portioned, well presented and well done is not easy. And typically, not cheap. But if paying prices for takeout orders that are above fast-food levels for dishes that are quite superior to most fast-food options seems a reasonable trade off, then check out BT To Go. Just a few blocks from the full service restaurant BT, this is a small outpost that features a few seats on the outdoor deck and one communal table inside. It primarily caters to those who want to to eat elsewhere. The menu features seasonal selections along with vegetarian options but also sports seafood, poultry and beef items. They even offer some tempting beverages that could be reason enough to stop - green tea limeade is a must-try for my next visit. The service was quite polite and the food was quickly prepared and presented. For those in an even bigger hurry, orders and payments can be made online and the food brought out to your car when it is ready. It does not get any easier or more efficient than that. I like the freshness of the ingredients that make each bite a bust of flavor. And the quality of ingredients that include organic chicken, brown rise and organic tofu and house-made components like pork terrine, are treats for your wellness and well-being. read more

The pho is really great- hot, so the very soul of every ingredient lyses into the tasty broth to bring it alive. Light. Fresh. Just like the BT restaurant thank goodness.

This is super convenient for a busy week night meal that is more healthy than your basic fast food options. We usually get this placed delivered from uber eats.

I went to pick up a couple of Bahn Mi from BT to Go earlier. After I go in and pay for it, I see one girl in the back her face uncovered with her mask hanging under her chin and with no gloves on preparing food. I see her opening and closing things, touching the rim and inside of togo containers while pouring in some liquid, putting food in bags all without wearing gloves or washing hands in between. I didn't make a big deal out of it. I quietly asked for a refund since there was another customer waiting for their food. The lady at the register asked why, and I explained why. She then says that she can't give me a refund because the order hasn't been processed for 24 hours and the food is almost ready. I was surprised at the response and said to her, "So, you're not going to give me a refund?" She then proceeded to tell me that she herself didn't have to wear gloves because she doesn't prepare the food. Then I re-clarified that I was not comfortable eating the food that was being prepared by the girl with her mask off and no gloves handling food and not washing her hands in between touching EVERYTHING. Then obviously frustrated, she gives me my refund. After giving me my refund I asked her why she lied about not being able to give me a refund in the beginning? Her response was, "Don't come back." I thought to myself as I left, "You didn't have to tell me that. I wasn't coming back anyways." I was pretty bummed about all this as I was still craving for some Bahn Mi sandwiches. Meh! read more

This might be my first 2/5. First the good .. and why I'm giving in 2 stars... The Banh Mi is great. The sauce it comes with is very delicious and the Bahn Mi itself (the bread) tastes quite fresh. No real complaints! Onto the rest.. The pho doesn't taste like pho. I've ordered here twice, been to Vietnam and back, tried both Northern and Southern pho and this just tastes like vegetable tea. I think the chef decided to make the broth taste like the condiments that typically come on the side of a bowl of pho instead of focus'ing on aspects like the ginger, onion, and bone marrow. It lacks sodium and the subtle sweetness of most pho broths I've had. I realize Northern style pho usually has less sodium but this is on another level. If this was called "vegetable stew" or something I might not be as critical, but this will hinder any expectations for pho lovers. My Vietnamese companion even agreed "This doesn't taste like Pho." The jasmine tea doesn't taste like tea. For $4.25 I was devestated that my drink tasted more like orange juice than tea. The combination of orange juice and honey is more than enough sugar on its own and becomes overpowering. This is more akin to a tropical Arnold Palmer. The Vietnamese coffee is weak and expensive. For $4.25 you are better off going to someplace like Saigon Deli and spending $2 for a coffe twice as strong and half the price. On value alone, I spent $30 dollars on the above meal and I would much rather spend that money someplace else such as Ichicoro if I wanted ramen or Saigon Deli if I wanted Vietnamese at half the cost. read more

Consistently delicious -- I crave the chili chicken salad. Have to have it once a week yummy!

Very very good. Even more overpriced. The Vietnamese coffee is phenomenal. So is the chocolate mousse if you're used to paying $350/oz.

I was not a fan at all. I found the pricing for charity/ flavor / size to be totally off. It was very expensive for some of the blandest food I have had in a while. There are way better options out there I wouldn't waste my time on this one. I dont understand the hype for this place. read more
