    Pho
    Mike B.

    Another visit, still among the best pho places I've eaten at. Service is friendly and quick, restaurant is clean and inviting. The pho broth is rich and hearty. The add ins - brisket, meatball, tripe - are fantastic. Also tried wonton soup and fried dumplings. The wontons are bite-sized. At first this was off-putting until you realize that the big wontons are a pain to cut in half or try to slurp off the spoon. Bite sized is the way to go. Fried dumplings are excellent. Well spiced stuffing, tangy garlicky dipping sauce - YUM.

    This spot is close to my jobsite and i was craving pho. Clean, big dining room and they welcomed me right away. I got the #1 Pho, all kinda crazy meat & a Thai tea- $20. The food came quickly since i showed up at 11:30 & it was deliciois. The Thai tea was big and hit the spot. I took some menu shots and the prices went up. Check the pics for recent prices. I will keep going back if I'm around, it was a great meal.

    1 hour wait

    Avoid this place at all cost . This took almost 1 hour for a pork chop dish and sampler appetizer. Most competent Vietnamese restaurants would take 15-20 minutes at most . Stopped by after visiting Florida botanical gardens figured we would get our toddler something healthier to eat besides fast food. Everyone was finished eating in the restaurant and just sitting there waiting for their checks. There was not a shorter of wait still 8-10 ppl working with no management . Horrible , would never come back .

    One of our favorite Pho places to eat. We come here a lot, maybe too much. lol! I get the flank steak and beef pho, soooo good. My husband always gets the combo Pho (warning it has tripe in it), he loves it. We also love the pork dumplings, pork pot stickers and I love their spring rolls (Vietnamese style). However the pork dumplings are a little bigger than we are used to. It's in a strip mall, but when food is this good who cares. Oh we have never tried it, but the other customers rave about their Boba drinks too. When in the mood stop in! Also great for those one or two days of cold weather get here in Florida!

    Food was good & a nice amount. I did take out & it was quick. But the place did seem nice to dine in. Everything was nicely packed.

    We've been trying some different items on their extensive menu. We always start with an order of their Fresh Spring Rolls. For entrées, we ordered the B1-The Spot Special rice vermicelli bowl and the SP7-Combination Crispy Pan-Fried Noodles (pork, shrimp, chicken and beef). Both dishes were great and a ton of food. It was our first time to order the crispy noodles and it was awesome! The service is always friendly and the restaurant and the condiments are clean and tidy.

    We had an amazing experience at The Spot! Highly recommend the Bo Luc Lac and the pan fried noodle with combination proteins! We will be back for more :) Such a nice surprise in Largo!

    I really enjoyed my visit here. It was very clean & upbeat. The waitress was very friendly & attentive. The food was great! The shrimp fried rice was the best I've had out this way. When I say that I mean it. Because I eat Thai a lot out here. It's the only thing my daughter eats when I do. So trust me when I saw it's very good. The spring rolls very very good as well as the sauce. The soup was good but I've had better. They're prices are a bit higher than other places. Overall I'm glad I tried it out.

    I was excited to try a Vietnamese buffet since they're hard to find, and I enjoyed being able to…read moresample a variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes in one place. I visited twice,once for lunch and once for dinner, and found that the selection was pretty much exactly the same both times, The pho is only on weekends, dry noodles and meat are pre-portioned into bowls, and the broth wasn't hot enough to properly warm the meat or soften the noodles, leaving them on the dry side instead of tender...I couldn't finish my bowl The bánh xèo was nice and crispy but quite oily and only had 1-2 pieces of shrimp. Some dishes were flavorful and fresh, while others seemed like they had been sitting out for a while and weren't kept hot enough. The standout dishes for me were the rice congee, bánh cuốn, chicken wings, and the caramelized fish. Those were well done and the reason I'd consider coming back. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were attentive. Overall, it's worth trying at least once if you're curious about a Vietnamese buffet, but compared to many of the excellent Vietnamese restaurants in the Tampa Bay area, I still prefer ordering freshly made dishes over the buffet. With a little more variety, hotter food, and a few quality improvements, this place could easily be a worth the price. * Weekdays: $24/adult, kids are half price * Weekends: $29/adult, kids are half price *4 and under free

I live in Miami where there isn't much Vietnamese food but my parents moved to Pinellas Park only a few minutes away from this restaurant so I was super excited to visit and go with them! Vietnamese buffets are not a common business model, and from other types of buffets you know that sometimes the quality can suffer, but Quan Ngon strikes a great balance between quality but also diverse options from many subtypes of Vietnamese cuisine. I won't be able to go into everything I tried (that would be a novel) but I will hit some of the highlights: - Grilled pork with broken rice: pork was marinated well, savory and sweet with a nice chargrilled taste, great with the rice + eggs + scallion oil or even by itself - Curry chicken: tastes very similar to how I remember my family does it, light but a bit creamy and with tender chicken and potatoes - Braised clay pot fish (but it's buffet style so served in a warming tray): savory, a bit sweet, tender fish that goes well with rice to soak up all the sauce - Fish sauce wings: not a super traditional dish but it's popping up all over modern Vietnamese restaurants now, slightly crisp outside juicy inside with a delicious savory sweet just salty enough glaze - Dessert (Che) bar: I'm not a huge fan of Vietnamese desserts, but I have to admit their row of Vietnamese desserts are well cooked, and sweet but not too sweet (also approved by my Vietnamese parents so you know it's legit!) For the price, the Quan Ngon Bistro buffet is more than worth it; for not too much above the price of a single entree at most other restaurants, you get to try a generous array of well made dishes. Whether you are native Vietnamese or trying Vietnamese cuisine for the first time, I'd definitely recommend stopping by!

Everything we tried was delicious, authentic, and incredibly reasonably priced. The place is small but well kept.

My mom tried their mì vịt tiềm (roast duck herbal noodle soup) and kept complimenting how good it was, which says a lot because she is a pretty picky eater herself! It's hard to find restaurants that serve such authentic Vietnamese food while still making you feel like the food was prepared with genuine care. The service was exceptional as well. We enjoyed it so much that we came back twice within three days, and we'll definitely return to try more dishes whenever we're back in the area. Highly recommend this place!

The customer service was great very attentive and fast . chicken was hard and chewy not edible and the noodles were a little too starchy for me and seemed slightly undercooked. The pork and rice was very plain with no veggies, which was disappointing since my kid actually loves her veggies The spring rolls arrived cold and hard and came with fish sauce; peanut sauce is available, but you have to ask for it. We also tried the vanilla bubble waffle with cookies & cream ice cream. The waffle itself was fresh, a good size, and comes with two toppings we opted for fruit. Unfortunately, the ice cream tasted stale and freezer-burned, so Id skip the ice cream scoop They do have a huge variety on the menu, so I may come back and try a few different dishes next time.
