Mini Kim Son in HTX if yall ever been. This place is located just about 45 mins away from DT Tampa. The food choices remind you of Vietnamese comfort food, so many endless options whether it's braised egg and pork, congee, chicken salad, Vietnamese rice rolls, Thai tea, pho noodle or whatever soup they have of the day, apparently their menus change. I also tried their Bo kho which is the beef stew, they have the mini Vietnamese tacos very crispy, and other options like the broken egg rice and vermicelli noodles to pair with pork and fish sauce. They also have banh bo lot which is a popular option people love to get as well as dessert options like making your own Che. Ambiance is a tight space, parking is also tight, you for feel crammed. However, it also gives that homey vibe like as if you're walking into your grandmothers home.. service was good, our plates were cleaned but they do rush you in a way if there's a wait for bigger parties. Unfortunately, it's a buffet style so you can't have dietary restrictions when you come here.. read more

Local favorite Vietnamese spot located in Pinellas Park. They open at 4 pm and there were people already lined up waiting outside for the doors to open. Restaurant is not spacious so you do have to wait until a table is available. Best to get there early before doors open. Everyone here comes for the buffet. Lots of authentic vietnanese cuisine dishes. I got to try many of the dishes and they were all very yummy. I was not crazy about the desserts. Just not my favorite type of desserts . You can also order Pho and they will bring to the table. Great service and attentive staff always cleaning up and providing water refills. Would like to try Vietnanese coffee next time. read more

Food was just meh. Highlights were pho, mussels and banh xeo, other than that nothing was really wow or buffet worthy. They had soups in a ninja, other foods were just dry especially thit kho. The banh xeo was really crispy which was great but it had 1 small shrimp in it and a bit of bean sprouts. I think this restaurant has potential just needs professional looking cookware. Maybe add desserts or a drink station. For $25 it prob needed more especially since we made the drive from Clearwater (30+ mins) read more

Vietnamese cuisine lovers heaven! Don't know about Vietnamese cuisine besides Pho? Now you can taste all the flavors that Vietnamese cuisine has to offer. From the ever popular Pho noodle soup to the home staple braised ribs with eggs, you can fine every comfort dish that Vietnamese cuisine has to offer! Felt like some good home cooking from my mom as I tried every dish offered. The buffet is a great idea and concept that's not common so a must try. Little small homey restaurant that's sure to be a wait as locals love this spot. Dinner buffet opens at 530 pm and it's suggested to arrive early before it gets busy with a little wait time. Service was excellent with everyone there and they are very accommodating and kind. Love the buffet concept with traditional dishes and desserts. Our favorites were the glazed fish sauce chicken wings, the soup (canh chua), the pho of course and the beef stew! read more

Huge variety of different Vietnamese food you probably won't see at your local Vietnamese restaurant. There were so many options, I didn't have the stomach to try everything. You could tell most of the patrons were local Vietnamese residents. If that doesn't tell you they serve authentic Vietnamese food, idk what else would. Definitely a hidden gem! read more

Great concept, love the fact that we can try a bunch of different Vietnamese dishes. It felt like going to a family member/friends' house party. The food was delicious, especially the chicken salad (goi ga) and mussels. Areas for improvement would be to keep the food hot as some of the dishes, such as the banh beo, were cold/dry and to find a better way to serve the desserts as the current way can lead to things getting in. Overall great friendly service and decor! read more

Vietnamese buffet? I bet they are the only one in Florida!! This place is in Pinellas Park, a bit of a drive from major cities like Tampa and St Pete, but totally worth a trip. We had to wait a while for a table, as you can imagine the place is packed!! There's a great variety of stuff, but first, pour yourself some Thai tea before you start exploring all the dishes they offer. I love their bánh xèo. So delicately crispy and flavorful. There is a pho bar to custom order your favorite bowl of pho, as well as many different types of noodles, thick or thin. There are egg rolls and summer rolls, bánh cuốn (steamed rice rolls), bánh bèo (steamed rice cakes in a bowl), and for entrees dishes like clay pot fish, grilled pork, beef with bread, and the lemongrass chicken feet - I am not particularly a big fan of chicken feet, but this was so delicious I went back for third... For desserts there is Chè, where you can add different types of beans and jelly together with coconut milk, for a perfect finish to your meal. Overall, the quality of individual dishes goes from a B to A+. Some of the meat can be chewy. But I love it nonetheless, because of this place offers such a nice variety of dishes, many not often found in your standard pho-heavy Vietnamese restaurants. A perfect place to take a little adventurous travel in food. read more

This place was maybe my most anticipated opening last year. I'm so excited I got a chance to try their Weekend Buffet. There's a great selection of Vietnamese food. I was able to snag a table right at opening time and thankfully we arrived when we did because boy did it pack up really fast. Anywho, for the price, this is a great way to get your Vietnamese fix or a great way to try some authentic items that you've been wanting to try. Love that they had soups/stews, apps, and even dessert. The only con is that whenever I'm craving this place, they are always closed. Their hours of operation are very limited. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing enough that I feel others should know what to expect. We came here because a friend recommended it as a Vietnamese buffet. We were excited and expected something comparable to well-known Vietnamese buffets like Kim Son in Texas. Unfortunately, it fell far short of our expectations. The food quality was very poor. While there was a decent variety of dishes, most were very ordinary and lacked flavor. My son took only three chicken wings, some nem nướng, sweet potato fries, a little rice with grilled pork, and a few chips. He didn't like the sticky texture of the wings, so he barely touched them. We also found a piece of grilled pork that was burned almost black, so we set it aside because we didn't want the children to eat it. We weren't trying to waste food. In fact, the amount we took was very modest because we only wanted to sample a few items. Even though we were unhappy with the quality, we didn't complain. We simply paid our bill and prepared to leave. What happened next was even more disappointing. As we were walking out, the manager stopped us and asked if anything was wrong with the food. Not wanting to embarrass anyone or create a scene, I politely replied, "No, nothing is wrong." Instead of thanking us for coming, he pointed to the small amount of leftover food on our table--three uneaten chicken wings, a few sweet potato fries, and the burned piece of pork--and told us he wanted to charge us by the pound for the leftovers. That was shocking. Rather than asking how they could improve or showing concern for the customer experience, the manager immediately focused on charging us more. It made an already disappointing meal feel even worse. For $25 per adult and $14.99 per child at lunch, I expected much better quality and much better customer service. The food quality was below average, and the manager's handling of the situation was unacceptable. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but honest feedback helps businesses improve and helps other customers make informed decisions. Sadly, I cannot recommend this restaurant to my friends or family. Food quality: 4/10. Customer service and management: 0/10. read more

I only came because the review seems decent. The menu is very small for a "buffet style" restaurant. It is approximately about 20 items (desserts included) and the only thing I thought was decent was the chicken salad (gỏi gà) but doesn't go with congee with intestines (cháo lòng), bún đậu mắm tôm was ok, everything else weren't as appetizing to list. Service was ok to none read more

Not bad. A good selection of different dishes. Chicken and pork dishes were dry. They open at 4pm. We got there at about 4:30. Most of the dishes were warm and on the cold side, hence my lower rating. I like my food hot. The mussels were fantastic, pho was very good. But for a buffet, they must be cognizant of the food temperature. read more

Was very good food. Only downside was the food was cold. Would we try it again! yes! My husband is Vietnamese and loved this food read more

So many authentic Vietnamese restaurants in Pinellas Park, so why not try them all? They are known for their street food dishes and snail dishes. They are also one of the few dining locations that have fresh sugar cane drinks. Do you like eating snails? My favorites: 1 Bò Né - Sizzling steak platter with baguette 2 Ốc Mỡ Xào Me - Snails in Tamarind Sauce 3 Mì Quảng - Flat noodles in less broth with chicken, shrimp, egg, flat noodles, , various toppings, and fried rice crackers. 4 Sugarcane Kumquat Juice Casual shop and attentive service. read more

I love this place for any and all viet cuisine cravings. I came here with friends and I believe they offer an all you can eat option on the weekends, maybe throughout the week? But not sure. The food was always fresh, the drinks were delicious and it's one price for food, drinks, and dessert. Even though it was a buffet, I recall a few servers coming by the table and checking in to ensure everything was fine. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. The place is a bit small so larger groups might like to call in before arriving but it seated our party 8 and there were a few more tables around. Music wasn't overly loud and overall a nice vibe. read more

I will be back soon. read more

Incredible! Took a large group there on a Sunday afternoon and we were blown away at the number of dishes that were presented and the quality of the food. The people working at this restaurant our first class and I cannot begin to say enough about them. This is absolutely one of the greatest treasures of Vietnamese food in the Bay Area. Well done! read more

Love Vietnamese and this place was AMAZING. Open buffet was a hit and we loved it all. Can't wait to go back.

For curiosity, because I read a bad review about a certain food that wasn't met previous reviewer expectations so I decided to drive almost 4 hrs to taste it myself in person and what a surprise my wife and I experienced it. First let talk about the food it's a mix of street food and family comfort food we can't express enough the food was delicious and we tried almost everything they have to offered but our belly is limited. Secondly, the restaurant is small but I feel like eating at home warm and welcome the services was top notch and friendly. Definitely we will be back soon love it! read more

Back again today with a couple from MN at 11:30am on Sunday. Packed house. Packed with good foods. Amazing experience again. Friend from MN can't stop complimenting. Nice clean olace and great service as usual read more

Really excellent place for Vietnamese food, especially if you want to explore some more unique options. Service is usually pretty quick, although with large parties, orders can slow down considerably. But overall ambiance is nice and the people working here are great! But the food is the important part, and I think they do a great job! Loved the fried chicken and rice platter. They are really generous with the rice and chicken. The thigh and drumstick are both huge and there is a heaping portion of rice. You will not leave hungry! The chicken was super crispy on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Loved the spicy and salty fish sauce based glaze on the outside of the chicken. Please pay this place a visit. They are yet another great Vietnamese restaurant in Pinellas Park :) read more

Amazing food. Have brought people here and every single one leaves satisfied. Recommend going right as they open for dinner.

Came here on a short trip to Florida on the way from Orlando to Clearwater beach. The place had a clean ambiance, located just off the Main Street. We ordered the Bun Dau Mam Tom, as I've never tried the dish and it wasn't something I saw often back home in Seattle. It was very flavorful especially with the Mam Tom sauce they serve it with, highly recommend! Also tried their sugarcane juice, which was also very refreshing on a hot day. Overall, the service was very quick and pleasant, with food coming out fast. read more

Good service. Everything we tried was good. Tra mang cau was refreshing. Sorry, I didn't take any picture. Bun dau mam tom is legit. Similar to the one I had in Vietnam except the sauce is missing the kumquat, but still good. They used the different noodles in their pho than what I'm use to but that is what making them unique. Will come back next time when we are in Tampa. read more

I have visited this part of town for years but never once set foot in this restaurant. My husband and I visited and tried their Bun Dau Mam Tom. I subbed the pork meat for the fish cake which is an extra $2 charge, and I was so full! I would opt in for extra bun next time but the food was great. The portion was generous. My husband and I did try their sugarcane drink twice before we headed back to dfw. All I can say is, this place has a returning customer! I also wanted to commend the young lady that works there. Stellar service with a great attitude. read more
