    Best Vietnamese I've had in a while. The menu is full of great options regardless of your taste. I had summer roll and tofu flat noodles, and they were excellent! I'll be back to try dinner soon.

    I had #H1 Bún Thit Nuóng, which is marinated pork over vermicelli with plenty of fresh mint, romaine lettuce, cucumber, carrots, mung bean sprouts and peanuts with fish sauce that you pour over it (huge, for only $9.00!!). Or you can get it with marinated lemongrass beef which would be #H2. Both are superb. They will add their great egg rolls for only $1.00 each. The way they prepare this dish is a perfectly proportioned combination of VERY FRESH top-quality ingredients. They're very generous with the fresh mint and I love that they use romaine lettuce and not iceberg. Everything on the menu looks great. Very authentic. I also had the fried banana with coconut ice cream which was big enough for 2, but I ate IT ALL! I can't wait to come back!....and btw my server was very attentive. It's a very nice family that runs it. I've been here 3 times and I can't fathom how someone could give them a bad review when it's one of the best quality Vietnamese restaurants in the country. I really don't understand why they're not packed! They should be! Last visit was on Thursday evening at 7:30 and there was only 1 other table with 2 diners. With food this good, there should be a wait; it's obviously a hidden secret gem to too many that are buying processed food. Please get out and support great local businesses that have high standards like Jade Bistro!

    Why did I not try Jade Bistro before?!? I am totally kicking myself for the years that I have been missing out on their amazing food! Jade has seriously re-vitalized my love of Vietnamese food, and I have visited for two weekends in a row now--- just to try something new every time. The price on most dishes is about the same as all of the other Vietnamese restaurants on the Park Avenue strip, however the atmosphere at Jade is much more classy. There is nothing stuffy about this bistro, but there is definitely some attention to detail that I am not used to with other restaurants in the area. Even the iced coffee and lemonade sodas are served in fancy glasses for the same price. I am totally addicted to their Soda Chanh, fresh squeezed lemon lime soda. So fresh that there is often granulated sugar still swirling in the bottom of the glass when I receive the drink. The nuoc cham (house dipping sauce) contains more garlic than most places, and is my favorite in the Tampa Bay area. The way that the garlic and chilies are broken up in the sauce makes me think that they were mulled with a mortar and pestle, but I don't know for sure. Sure, you can order Pho or Bun Bo Hue here... You would probably be better off ordering their Tour of Beef, their 7 course beef dinner for two for $39.99 (from the menu insert), to try something totally different. Don't get me wrong, the Pho is damn good, too. But, my favorite are you dishes you only see on travel channels--- where the host is walking about and trying food at a market or food cart. There are dishes in the appetizer section of the menu at Jade Bistro that I have never seen on a menu before in this country. My two favorites: 1. Cha Gio Re - Also, called Autumn Roll. Super whispy-crispy-covered thin fried rolls served with herbs, lettuce, and nuoc cham. Tightly wrap the roll and herbs inside the lettuce and dip into the sauce. It is heavenly. 2. Canh Ga Chien Me- Tamarind Chicken wings in a sticky and sour dark sauce. The color is almost as beautiful as the taste. Make sure to order these wings fried very crispy. Video: youtu.be/D-Zez7wkHCI There are three different kinds of Bun Xeo served, but they are not crispy enough for my liking. Ben Thanh has my favorite Bun Xeo. Even the entrees are served in a different style than usual, and from various regions, like the Bun Han Noi: Pork Meatballs and Belly in a lemongrass soupy-sauce, where you assemble the noodles, herbs, greens, and pickles as you eat. It is nice to be served this way, where you can adjust to your taste, instead of having everything piled in a heaping bowl together. Just having that option is worth visiting Jade Bistro on a regular basis for me. The entire menu selection is not posted on their website menu. I can come here right at 11:00am for late breakfast.

    What a horrible experience . I've never had such poor service or food. Sad I was looking so forward to eating here. I'm sticking with Ben Thanh from now on!

    One of my favorite places and a once-a-week spot for me. The medicinal value of their Pho Tai alone should make you want to try this place. The flat noodle is heaven sent and the family that runs this place are a welcome addition to the Pinellas Park restaurant scene..

    Went there because we had a groupon, didn't read the small print that said only valid after 5pm, but that's OK because we enjoyed the food so much we're happy to go back. I had the eggplant and tofu hotpot -- delicious, excellent flavors. Nice ambience, good service.

    We pass little strips malls everyday and often see a restraurant usually in them. Jade bistro is not exception, everyday I drive to and pass the strip mall it's located in. I never thought to stop in until my parents had food delivered from food now and told me home good it was. Finally a friend and I went for dinner, we walked in and only saw a couple people eating which made me a little nervous. We decided to sit in the booth rather than table, I would say the table will win out next time we go. Sitting in the booths was like being on a boat in rough seas, every time the person on the other side moved you would move. On to the good stuff, the food. Our server was very nice she gave suggestions and was nice enough to tell me about the Asian markets around town and what items to get at different markets. I got side tracked back I'm back to talking about the food I promise. For an appetizer we had the seamed dumplings and my friend ordered Pho, I'm not sure which one. The dumplings came out nice and hot and were served with a dipping sauce. It wasn't like the sauce I ve had before that's soy based, it was a creamy sauce that was very good. As for our main dishes I had the chicken pho and my friend had beef and broccoli. He really ended his beef and broccoli, but the broccoli was a little too crunchy. My Pho came out with a plate of goodies, herbs, jalepeno, and bean sprouts. Everything was fresh, fully loaded with chicken and had wonderful flavor. The portion was so big I ended up taking it home and having it for too more meals. This was my first Pho expierence and it was delicious, everything was good and I can't wait to go back. Maybe I should venture into strip malls more often, you never know what treasures you'll find.

    Great service. We ordered the shrimp with rice clay pot and the udon noodles and seafood clay pot and it was very good. The dishes were sweet and spicy. For dessert we had the fried bananas and coconut ice cream which is a must have.

    This place serves some of the best Vietnamese food I've ever had. It blows away any Boston Vietnamese restaurant! I ordered the spring rolls, which were extremely fresh and well-crafted. I had the "special combination dish," which contained grilled pork, shrimp, and meatloaf. The pork and shrimp were absolutely great: it was well-seasoned and grilled to perfection. I have never had vietnamese meatloaf before, but I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant itself is extremely clean and the service was great. I will definitely be coming back to Jade Bistro again.

    (3.5) This place is like an over-emotional girlfriend that makes me so happy at times following it up with disappointment and confusion. I've been here a few times now with my friend who comes frequently for both lunch and dinner and haven't been able to write a review because I wasn't sure how I felt about it... and, honestly, I'm still unsure about this relationship. While I find that the food in general is good, it's often unusually empty with only a few occupied tables. The emotional roller coaster of food causes me anxiety because I want to love this place but I'm always slightly let down. The traditional and beloved Banh Mi -- while the meat and veggie filling was quite good, the bread was over-toasted and unpleasant. The Spicy Lemongrass Beef Noodle dish was excellent while the accompanying Veggie soup was less than impressive. The Tamarind Fried Chicken was absolutely praiseworthy, but the Spring rolls are just average. The Vietnamese Style Hot & Sour soup had perfectly balanced flavors that I would eat any day of the week. The Caramelized Pork Belly was sub-par, over-cooked and extremely heavy-handed with ground pepper... a dish I will likely not order ever again. Overall, the service is great with no complaints but the food is so inconsistent I feel like I'm in a dysfunctional relationship with the food. I find myself coming back no matter how many times I get hurt. I also only ever come here with my friend that really enjoys coming here.

    Even though they committed the cardinal sin of bringing out all of my food at the same time (is it REALLY that difficult to stagger the courses???), I was very happy with my meal. The corn wrapped shrimp rolls were pretty good, the won ton soup some of the best I've ever tasted and the main course of Sizzling Seafood, which was lobster, shrimp, scallop and calamari in a nice white sauce with vegetables, was delicious. The service was pretty good, except for serving everything at once. This restaurant is a keeper, folks.

    Went to Jade bistro for dinner. The food was very good and reasonably priced. The place was very clean. We had the avocado spring rolls- good, light taste with the typical peanut dipping sauce. The issues i had were with the service. Although our server was very nice, pretty polite and regularly checked on us, there were some overall management issues: 1. The pho came out with no cilantro. I asked about it and i was told that they ran out of it. I wish i knew that upon ordering. I had the chicken pho- it was ok, the chicken meat had some skin and other parts i did not enjoy. 2. We asked about the veggies that came with the vegetable clay pot; the server went back to the kitchen to get us a complete list ( I highly appreciated that). One of the vegetables was my mom's favorite mushrooms. So she ordered the veggie clay pot. I tasted it and i have to say it was very very very good. The problem is it came with not a single piece of mushroom. We asked about it, and the waiter went back to the kitchen to see why. The answer was- the chef forgot to put the mushrooms! Seriously?? And he just laughed about it. How about bringing them on the side? Still, I will probably go back again because it was clean, the food was good and there are items i did not get to try, and it was priced right.

    With a few exceptions, Groupon business are hardly amazing. Luckily, this is one of those exceptions. Well, sadly, we couldn't use the Groupon. It said dine in only, and then stated the dinner hours. Apparently, that was a typo, and I was supposed to say dinner only. Oh well. Luckily, they did have lunch specials. They were a good deal at $8.95. The servers were very helpful and welcoming. The interior was nothing fancy but was very clean and pretty attractive, especially judging on the exterior. The lunch special case with a egg roll and soup of the day. To my delight, the egg roll offered was of the Vietnamese variety, not the yucky Chinese type. The soup of the day today was vegetable soup. It was a clear broth with cabbage, broccoli, peas, and carrots. It was better than expected. I had ordered the pad thai. I just oddly overcame a longstanding peanut allergy, so I can't compare the authenticity of the dish to others. It was very good. The sauce was a tad spicy and sweet. The egg was cooked very well, and not dry of overly eggy tasting. My only complaints are that I wish the noodles were flat, and there wasn't a whole lot of chicken. Nevertheless, it was a tasty dish. The pho tai ordered by someone else in our party was some of the best I've had in this area. I think I liked it more than Tasty Pho a little further down the road. The lemongrass pork was oh-so-tender and delicious. Pretty much, this place turned out to be way better than I thought it would be. With the great service, reasonable prices and amazing food, we don't need the unused Groupon as an excuse to come back.

    The "Bò 7 món", or beef 7 ways, was amazing! For starters there is thin slices of beef for you to cook in a seasoned hot pot of broth. This is accompanied by fresh veggies, rice papers for wrapping and a spicy sauce for dipping. The fun was trying to successfully make a roll. It was all yummy no matter how it got to your mouth! This was followed by a flavorful beef salad filed with herbs and veggies. Next was a selection of grilled beef rolled in leaves, meat around onions, a meat loaf with glass noodles, and flavorful meatballs. These were served with crispy praw crackers. The whole meal was topped off with a congee of rice and beef. Soothing and relaxing, it was a pleasant ending to the meal.

    The only benchmark I have on Vietnamese food is Pho beef noodle. I pondered to write a fair review after a superb UYE event organized by our awesome Coty S. The event, '7 courses beef dinner,' was educational. Coty gave detailed explanation of each course and demonstrated the proper way to wrap the abundant ingredients with rice paper. I sampled beef cooked in soup, with porridge, and with mysterious sauce. The combination are interesting, and the event accomplished its objective. Now, I pocked couple more benchmarks. Being a good cook and a spoiled Chinese, obviously, my taste buds are not easily compromised by flavors slightly short of complexity. However, if I rest my bias aside, I like the restaurant for its simplicity. The clean taste of Vietnamese cuisine is truly refreshing. For me, a glass of Chardonnay with Jade's fresh spring roll, or a bottle of Malbec with 'seven course beef' share with friends in a lazy, hot Florida Saturday afternoon at Jade unwinds my mind. If Jade was on the beach, I would be there everyday to enjoy the freshness of the Vietnamese food and the warm hospitality from the owner.

    Love it! So glad I found this place through a Groupon. We ordered summer rolls and Pho and it was delicious. Totally hit the spot after eating too much fried foods.
