Pho 101 is roughly 45 miles North of Port Charlotte and it rings the bells of Food, Service and…read moreAmbiance loudly. While local Pho restaurants tend to overcharge (opinion) by $3-$4 per Bowl, it becomes worthwhile to "make the drive" to a perfect Pho restaurant. We will still visit locals on occasion, but Pho 101 has figured out perfect balance. They also make us feel welcome, which was never a particular concern, but it sets them apart from the competition. Their Boba Tea is like I've grown accustomed to on the U.S. West Coast. I don't understand why some Pho restaurants bring you actual cold Tea, but THESE are indistinguishable from fruit flavored Milkshakes...although they, at $5.95 each, are overpriced by $2. They are incredibly good. Mango, Blackberry, etc. Anyway, the Pho Nam (with Brisket) is incredibly good and with the load of fresh shoots and Thai Basil leaves provided. I-75N to Clark Rd. (Exit 205) then West to US 41 (Tamiami Trail) the North a few blocks. It's on the Right.

Since it takes me 10 minutes each way to drive to/from the restaurant, it had probably been sitting for 30 minutes before I could start eating it. I've had Pad Thai in many places, including Thailand. This was the worst Pad Thai I've ever had. It had an "off" taste that I could not identify and the noodles were mushy. My guess is that the mushy noodles were a result of sitting and steaming itself for so long. Sorry, but won't go back or recommend.

Fairly open at 5:30 pm on a Sunday....... PACKED and folks waiting by 6 PM!!!!! Clean (brand new restaurant) and plenty of parking, however we walked over from d/t Wellen Park. Not packed, but we still had to wait for server. We did have to flag her down multiple times and ESPEICALLY as the rest of her tables filled up. I got a tofu ginger soup that was awesome. I coudl (well actually now I can't) rattle off all the rolls and items we got. I got vegan/veggie vegetable aspargus and avacado and etc rolls............ each and every one was prepared perfectly, and presented fantastically and had fresh and delectable ingredients. I have had a bit of sashimiand sushi in my 45 plus years of international and domestic travel and living in NYC/LI. As well I worked for a Japanese company for 10 years......... this was VERY well done and my top spot in the Sarasota to North Port corridor and thankfully 6 miles from my home..... my wife works a mile away!!!!!! As a restaurant amongst over 150 I have tagged they are also top ranking with me. Sadly I will never be able to get in there as they are already busting at the seams and when YOU read this you are going to make it worse (smile) That is okay, ENJOY and Bon Appétit ..... or meshiagare.

The flavors, spices, and overall quality brought me right back to Thailand. It's not just "Americanized Thai food". The dishes had the balance and authenticity I was hoping for after experiencing the real thing overseas. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with care. I'm really happy I found this place because it satisfied that craving for a true taste of Thailand. Highly recommend to anyone who loves Thai food or wants to experience those real Thai flavors!

I strongly recommend avoiding Mia's Vietnamese Cuisine, located at 2720 Stickney Point Ra.,Sarasota, FL 34231. The meal I had yesterday was absolutely dreadful. It was an unappetizing jumble of vegetables, meat, chicken, and noodles that were nearly impossible to consume. The noodles were clumped together, reminiscent of a shoe sole, and the entire dish seemed like a collection of leftovers tossed together and served as takeout. I ended up throwing it away because it was uneatable. I've disputed the payment because I've never experienced such terrible takeout in my life, especially for nearly $84.

It's been a couple of years since I darkened the door of Fugus. The last time I ate there the food…read morewas great and there were several other diners. I popped in there with my 10 year old daughter today for a late lunch. The place was completely empty and appears to be mainly a take out place now although there are several booths. I told the young lady behind the counter that we were eating in so she brought us a menu as we sat down. I walked up to the counter to place our order of miso soup, California roll, and hibachi style steak udon. The soup & roll came out almost instantly served in take out containers complete with lids on and flimsy plastic cutlery. It seems to me that if there are multiple booths for eat in customers there should be regular serving dishes and utensils available for those diners. The miso soup had a strange flavor like it had absorbed the smell of a refrigerator IYKYK. The rice on the California roll was dry and crunchy on top as if it had been rolled hours earlier and left uncovered in a fridge to dry out. After a few minutes my udon appeared also in a covered take out container with a cheap flimsy plastic fork. I ordered it "habach" style so I expected that lovely browness you get from sautéing on a very hot flat top. There was none of that. The "steak" was gray and impossible to chew, most likely some cheap cut of roast that if treated properly might have passed for steak but as prepared was just cubes of grey tough flavorless muscle. The vegetables of carrots, broccoli, cabbage, and zucchini were cooked to mush with not a hint of seared flavor. The noodles were gummy and pasty and whatever small amount of sauce was at the bottom and watery and bland, didn't cling to the ingredients at all. I added a ton of soy sauce to try to enhance what little flavor there was but even that didn't do much. When the cashier approached to ask how everything was I, very nicely I promise, explained some of the issues. All she was interested in was telling me that everything was fresh not reused from yesterday and that I was wrong about my assessment. She offered no refund or remake although a remake wouldn't have been accepted anyways. I ate a few bites of the noodles because I was starving but we threw everything else out. We will not be back and I cannot recommend.
