    Sparkman wharf is a super lively area that I love going to on the regular. I've been to this place a couple times and it's not the tastiest, but it fills you up and probably one of the better options there. Honestly, it's pretty reasonably priced for the area. I've gotten the udon noodles for $11 and the dumplings for $10. Their food tastes very Americanized. More sweet than typical Asian food, not as spicy, and just lacks authentic flavors. But honestly, when I go there I'm not expecting a lot. It's solid for what it is

    Brown sugar chili rubbed wings

    I had Dang Dude yesterday. I'd give it a solid 4 stars. I got the brown sugar chili rubbed wings and the fried dumplings. The wings were fried very crispy, but despite there being a lot of seasoning on the wings, they didn't have that much flavor. I was also expecting them to be sweet and savory but they weren't sweet at all, surprisingly. There dumplings were pretty good, fried well. There is some topping they put on them that has a flavor I wasn't a fan of, but overall they were decent. The service was great, even though they were out of all of the proteins except steak, so I couldn't get the bao buns. The ambiance at Sparkman is so nice and relaxing. Being by the water on a nice sunny day has a way of making you feel like all is right with the world!

    After waking around the area, Dang Dude had the tastiest looking menu and the staff was super nice. Our food took some time to come out, but that only told me that our food was made to order and not sitting around to be reheated. Everything I've ordered here has had a lot of flavor. It's also really nice to sit outside along the water with the pretty views. It's a bit pricey, but the food matches with quality. Absolutely recommend you trying this spot.

    The only options available during my visit were dumplings so I opted for the fried and steamed vegetable dumplings. These dumplings were good, the service was good and the ambiance was great. The Christmas lights are up @ Channelside. The menu here has way more than dumplings so stop by and try them out.

    Korean Style BBQ Pork Bun

    Yuck seriously I was at Sparkman's Wharf for a dog festival and wanted a snack. I decided to stop by here to order this Korean Style BBQ Pork Bun which was described as with Pickled cucumbers, lemongrass hoisin. I didn't taste that whatsoever. There is no pickled cucumbers either to give it some flavor. My dog eats 500% better than this. It was also sitting there for a bit, and I didn't want something cold on a cold day. It def wasn't good at all. Service wasn't good either. What a waste!

    Cool spot on Sparkman Wharf - that delivered some pretty good fried pork dumplings. I would go back to try others menu items.

    Had a good lunch before heading to the airport after a conference. The dumplings were great and the noodle salad was delicious. I got a bit more heat than I was going for, but enjoyed my food regardless!

    Korean style BBQ pork bun and strawberry lychee fruit tea

    I can't really say much when only have tried one food item. However, from trying their Korean BBQ pork bun, which is a little salty and average , I wouldn't expect much. Their seasonal strawberry lychee tea was good and refreshing!

    I love that the wharf has many food stalls to choose from. Dang Dude won today's visit. Bummed the Bao buns were not available. The lemongrass chicken bowl was yummy. The tropical tea was also a winner. Food came out pretty quick. Cashless way to pay so be aware. Def want to come back to try the Bao buns.

    Tropical jelly drink

    Was expecting more , i absolutely love dumplings but these were a miss. The filling was a bit mushy like bean texture. The sauce the put ontop was ok. But i wouldn't get these again. The drink was ok as well but tasted watery. The dumplings were on sale when i visited 4 for $2 but normally it's 5 for $8

    I was so excited to try this place but was sadly disappointed with our first visit. We visited on a Sunday, and I was surprised to not see a line when ordering. We ordered the Chilled Sesame Noodles, $11 and the Five Spice Pork Belly $8. For the five spice pork belly, I was expecting it to be on a bao bun, but it came out on a hamburger bun. Also for the price, I feel like it could have come with two. The noodles were kinda sad too, I liked the crunchy toppings with the cucumber but the noodles had way too much of an oily taste. I've had chilled noodles before but these seemed to be more fast food style. I did like that it comes with the glass noodle, I've seen others that straight up substitute with pasta lol. I don't think I'd return, it was nice to try but the price point and what you get doesn't seem worth it to me.

    We were visiting this area from out of town, and we're looking for unique eats in the Tampa area! I had heard of this Sparkman's Wharf and decided to stop by! This place is really, really fun! They have shopping container restaurants with various style of eats. And what's even cooler is it's right on the bay where you can see the cruise ships entering and leaving the port of Tampa! They also have an outdoor bier garden in the center of this restaurant & shopping plaza that makes for an all-around fun time for all! We decided to try "Dang Dude" which features Asian cuisine. I'm SO glad we did! We opted for the chilled sesame noodles - savory, and refreshing. Tossed in a sesame sauce and fresh Asian veggies, and the option to add a protein (I went with chicken, boyfriend went with Pork Belly, and both "worked" with the dish!) I also added a bit of chilli oil which added just a slight kick to the dish that paired with the flavor profile. Overall this seems like a really fun spot to shop, sip, and enjoy the views of Tampa bay! It's also so close to many other activities in the area which makes it easily accessible on your next visit to this area! Highly recommend!

    Yaki-Udon Stir Fried Noodles + Honeydew Milk Tea
    Amber N.

    They were busy so there was a little bit of a wait for the food, but it was a reasonable wait. We got the milk tea right after ordered. I tried the yaki-udon stir fried noodles with the five spice pork belly and it had such an incredible mix of flavors. It was filling to the soul and they give you a good portion of meat. This was my first tine trying this style of noodles and they have given me a great introduction. Honeydew milk tea is my new favorite tea. I absolutely loved it. I had to work hard to not drink it all before my food was ready.

The Ramen is okay, but it just doesn't hit like before. The restaurant was a laid back vide with Japanese inspired themes and music in the background. Our server points us to our table and hands us menus to start. We always start out with an edamame appetizer and then go ahead and order the ramen. My partner got the spicy tonkatsu and I had wanted to do the "make your own ramen" option. I really wanted wagyu but didn't like the toppings it came with. So I just made my own, though it was very costly to add more toppings, so I just chose 2. Overall, the experience was okay. It's not the worse ramen place I've been to but I'll probably only swing my when it's out of convenience

    Don't sleep on this restaurant just because it's at the Hard Rock Casino - Jubao Palace Noodle Bar…read moreslaps so good, it will make you "hit" on a hard 20. After being here a few times, Jubao Noodle Bar is where it's at and truthfully do fine by itself without the casino. So at this point, you should already know that Jubao Noodle Bar is located within the Seminole Hard Rock Casino & Hotel - Tampa. However, it should be recognized that navigating the casino floor does get frustrating. The easiest point of reference is to first understand that the base casino floor is essentially separated into two parts (Part one is where the curved escalators and hotel towers are at and part 2 is the larger part, containing the Hard Rock Cafe and the majority of the table games). Jubao Palace Noodle Bar is located right after the point where the hall from part one connects to part 2. Clear as mud right? Now that you've successfully navigated here, it should be noted that the line and wait can get ridiculous. Not sure if there are specific times when it gets super busy, but it seems like it doesn't die down after lunch hours hit. The small size and amount of tables doesn't necessarily accommodate to the traffic. Be prepared to wait. Speaking of tables, there are several regular tables that seat up to 4 patrons, however the majority of the seating are high tops and bar seating. Don't be alarmed if you get paired at the high tops with other random patrons. The menu itself is very simple, but I can assure you that you can't really go wrong with any of the choices. My "go-to's" are usually the roast duck noodle soup (with egg noodles) and any of the fried rice (crab is the best though). They do offer snow pea leaves which is a Cantonese cuisine classic. It's a great restaurant that is overshadowed by the venue that it's located in.

My latest birthday he picked Hales Blackbrick as he knew I never had dim sum before so thought a nice dinner with higher end dim sum would be just the trick. Walking into the place was a little crazy for me because I had been to that location when it was previously owned by others and I could still see some of the same things from before, though I gotta say, for turning it into a high end restaurant, some of the things they left should have been removed to fit the setting and price point. We started out with their family tradition egg rolls that is over 100 years old. We did the dim sum tower as we figured that would be the best way to try multiple styles and then we ordered the fried rice, which Ben knowing me knew I'd rather have it with the lobster option BUT I actually was fine without it because that would mean the fried rice would have been $50.00, but since it was my birthday, he ordered it anyway. Now, since I had not had dim sum before I am not sure if it was just theirs or if all are like this but ours were very watery when we would bite into them. I basically held up a small plate under my chin so that I didn't get any juice on my face or clothes. Didn't seem right to me and even Ben mentioned it and I know he has had them a few times. Also, out of the 3 different styles we got, it was difficult to make out which one was which as they were pretty bland. The rice was good but the small meat of the lobster tail was not worth the extra costs they charged for it and as I thought, the plain rice would have been fine with me. The best part about my evening was obviously my date and his thoughtfulness he put into planning our evening out.
