NOUTTA SUSHI AND THAI — Restaurant in Florida

Updated November 2024 - No surprise the place closed and I never got my credit from my horrible meal. Is this place going to reopen under another name as an Omakase restaurant?? Look around at your demographics!!!!

Updated: The manager of the restaurant called me back and apologized for the food, etc. He said I should not pay for it and I sent in my receipt for a refund. He invited me to come in the next day When he will be working and he will cook my food. I told him that wasn’t necessary, but he insisted. I will update the ratings tomorrow after I taste thr hibachi and pad Thai. There was no language barrier between the manager Justin and I. he spoke wonderfully and was very caring.

INITIAL POST I ordered take out and was excited to taste their Pad Thai, Hibachi, and sushi. The woman taking my order said Pho was their specialty, but I wanted sushi. She was unable to answer any of my questions regarding the sushi. My husband has a shellfish allergy and 85% of the sushi rolls had shellfish in them. Needless to say, I ordered chicken pad Thai and asked for them to make it spicy. Hi, ordered the chicken hibachi and a spicy tuna roll.

When I got home, the Sushi was the only thing that looked edible. The pad Thai was overcooked and absolutely had no flavor. The Noodles were mush and the chicken was dry. There was no sauce. Mind you it’s not the orange sauce that I like, but it’s the brown version however, there was still no sauce or taste. The chicken hibachi was awful too. The fried rice it came with, was Seasoned with pepper only. The rice was mushy and the vegetables and chicken were tasteless. Such a shame.

I am awaiting a callback from the manager regarding bringing the food back and getting a refund or getting some sort of credit if we decide to return and...

My friend and myself decided to try as they have just opened. We arrived and sat ourselves (though the sign says to wait to be seated), as we waited and finally sat ourselves at an open booth by the door. A waiter came over and gave us menus and asked what we wanted to drink. We both asked for iced tea. They only have hot tea we were told, so we asked for water. Our waiter brought over two glasses of ice and two bottled water (which we later found they charge for...we heard another table ask and got plain water in a glass). I asked if we could get some straws. Ordered a shrimp appetizer, a chicken pho and I ordered shrimp with a side of rice. The appetizer, breaded shrimp were well overcooked (dark brown). They were tough because of. I asked again for straws. The waiter finally brought over the straws, about 10 minutes after asking for them. Our meals were served. My friend liked his pho, but it had large chunks of chicken, so he asked for a knife. I got 7 large shrimp, tails on, so I asked for a knife also. My shrimp were warm, at best. The rice was very good and hot. It took another ten minutes to get our knives. My friend was pulling his chicken apart until the knives arrived with fork and soup spoon. They need to work on timing better in the kitchen. Food was overcooked in some cases and entree warm and side hot. Also need to remove the grand opening balloons in front. Two parties came in and we told both to seat themselves as they cannot see the entrance from the back and there was no hostess. We will give it another try. Hopefully they work out the timing better. Prices...

When I moved to the area I was prepared that all Asian food would be catered to the dominantly white demographic that lives here. I was not wrong. All pho was catered to Americans and the food was flavorless.

At some point I noticed a little Vietnamese place near my apartment and decided to check it out.

I was completely blown away. It was clear the chef did not alter his recipes just to appease other people, and stuck to completely authentic recipes.

The beef pho was correct and even included tendon, which melts in your mouth. The beef broth base was completely full of flavor. I cannot recommend their beef pho enough!

The chef even delivered it to me himself once and it was clear he was proud of the food he's making and it's clear why. This is the best Vietnamese in Florida. This food isn't just good, it's authentic home cooking. You are eating the same pho the chef would serve to his family. It is so flavorful, the beef is correct, and the broth is unreal.

I understand they have now expanded to sushi which I haven't tried yet, but they do still offer the full Vietnamese menu as well.

I can't stress this enough. Go to this restaurant. Your need for authentic Vietnamese food will be met completely, and you'll be as addicted as I now am.

The service is amazing too. Everyone is so nice and aware. This is easily my favorite restaurant...
