I was delightfully surprised by the fear
Great flavors and how delicious the food was there both nights we came. After the first night, we were craving it, so we HAD to go back. The line is always long there but well worth the wait. The appetizers are on point we had fried rice for meals both nights, and the portions are large we could have shared, but I'm glad we didn't so we had left overs to take with us. The servers were very nice and attentive and can make great recommendations for your tastes. I will definitely return when we come back to Tampa. And it is a family-friendly restaurant even though it's on the casino floor. I definitely recommend stopping by. The Thai tea was amazing.
The noodles were especially delicious, a very hearty serving. Small seating room and bar area which explains the line of people at the hostess stand. That is why I gave them a two for the atmosphere. No privacy, I had to sit at a six table top with two sets of strangers. Maybe because they weren't friendly but it felt awkward. Everyone just ate their food and looked at the gambling tables across the room. This dining experience needs more space to truly be enjoyed. I used my Unity rewards points and got a free meal. They charge for bottled water 5 bucks crazy 😧. I had Singapore noddles with four types of meat (chicken, shrimp, bbq pork)
Located inside Hard Rock Casino in Tampa, FL. Very Long Line but worth the Wait. Service was fast and friendly. Food was Delicious. Enjoyed the Experience. Definitely will be back to try other options.
Walked past this place the first day since it was packed and the line outside was long. So we left and decided to call to make reservations the next day! Unfortunately they don’t accept or make reservations so we had to go stand on line and wait, will say the line moves fairly fast. Didn’t think anything about it. The place was small but it worked and the food portion make up for it. The food was delicious and very tasteful. And coming from NY where we have a lot of good Chinese restaurants this is up there. I will say I will definitely be back when I’m back down there to try out other dishes! I would definitely recommend if your around the area and not in a rush!
I went for the greens and stayed for the pho! Snow pea leafy greens lightly seasoned and sautéed with oxtail pho accompanied with a veggie plate of sprouts, lime, jalapeños, and basil leaves DELICIOUS! The broth is clean and not oily, the meat is tender and the noodles are perfect!!! The table setting has everything you need Sriracha, hoisin, soy sauce etc.. the only thing missing was a pinch of salt, just to wake up the flavor but it was still very good! 4/5 stars!
This is a great place to eat noodles and if you are craving a past midnight pork belly or roasted duck! A decent place at a decent price for the food! I love the soup and especially the pork belly! I love the crunchiness of the skin and the tenderness of the meat! Soup is very flavorful!
I had a small choking issue. I have a condition no fault to them. I ran to the restroom to get the food out and try to breath. They immediately got help. The food was so scrumptious. They manager was so concerned and helpful .the whole staff seemed happy to work there. Our waiter Daniel was so helpful describing the foods. Great experience.
2nd time here food was very good. Started off with spicy cucumber. Just the right amount of spice & still a little bit of crunch left in the cucumber🥒 over all good. Next West Spring rolls. Had nice crunch to them But almost no vegetables inside so that was a little bit of a ⭐️ down for that But overall ok Next was the combination Plate 3 items spare ribs duck and barbecue pork Everything was good. Ribs were tender and soft and juicy barbecue Pork was. Same way very good duck was Good moist only one little thing that I would say was the skin was not crispy which it should be.........................((((( one complaint ))))) 2nd time. I've been here and they have not had chili paste..... get it together. People.
Love this place. The only problem you might have is trying to figure out what dish to pick out since they're all good! Been here a dozen times and never left disappointed. Prompt service, clean, and nice people working the booths.
This place deserves 5 stars and then some! I absolutely love stopping by Jubao for lunch or dinner during my casino visits. Be prepared to wait in line, but trust me, the wait is worth it!
I typically order the oxtail noodle soup and it never disappoints! The regular portion is large enough and most times I can’t finish the whole bowl. Usually there are 4-5 oxtails and they are cooked to perfection and taste so yummy! I’ve had the shrimp and chicken fried rice before which is also tasty - always a huge portion too! The crab rangoon are a great appetizer as well.
Jubao is always crowded and occasionally you may be seated at a long table with other guests or at the bar. It’s a fast paced restaurant and it can get a bit noisy in there. Waitstaff is always prompt and kind. Price range is a bit on the higher end but in my opinion the food is worth it.
