Phở 99 — Restaurant in Siesta Key

I am visiting my Grandmother this weekend and she told me about this place. I absolutely LOVED IT!!! The environment of the restaurant was clean and comfortable. I was so excited to see the Bao Buns were on the "specials" menu because I have always wanted to try them. They were OUTSTANDING! Our other appetizer was very tasty as well, Avocado Rolls. My Pho was delicious and my Grandma had the Lemongrass Chicken dish with rice which was also very good. My only complaint was that the rice was a little over cooked and when you took a fork full water leaked out of it as if the rice was over saturated and ran into the chicken so it made the plate a little damp. I told my grandmother tonight that this will be our new place to come for dinner when I visit and everyone in Atlanta will know about these BAO BUNS!!! This place has great flavors, diverse menu, awesome environment and I cannot wait to go back! I hope the Bao Buns become a permanent menu item in the future because they really are amazing. Check out the pictures from our visit and you will see All menu items featured and the Bao Buns are the little...

Disappointing Service at Local Vietnamese Restaurant

I usually advocate for local Vietnamese businesses, but my latest experience compels me to share my dissatisfaction. I placed a takeout order for a Vietnamese iced coffee with boba and spring rolls. In the past, boba in coffee was never an issue here or at other Vietnamese restaurants. However, this time, the staff (seemingly the owner) informed me that they don't add boba to their coffee. This inconsistency was baffling and quite inconvenient.

After some discussion, she agreed to add the boba "just for today," but the interaction was far from pleasant. Additionally, the spring rolls were good, but the accompanying peanut sauce was provided in a disappointingly small quantity, insufficient for the portion served.

This experience has left a sour taste, not just because of the product but more so due to the lack of consistent and friendly service. Regrettably, I won't be returning or recommending this place anymore. It's important for my family, friends, and colleagues to enjoy quality experiences, and unfortunately, this restaurant no longer meets...

Took us in at 7:10. We waited until 8:00 for orders. We understand small business now a day very short staff, but this is not how you handle costumers! The waitress came to our table to get orders without the food orders note, she said she would remember it all. So we order 4 mains dish and 3 appertizers, 20 mins later she came out and brought us water and said the kitchen lost all ours orders and 3 of the dishes we orders are sold out long before she even know it. We had a 1 year old with us and she start fussing so we asked if there still appetizers left? And she said could i orders again and the kitchen will make it. And so we did order again and all the tables came after us already have food and appertizers and another table came after us already checking out! And then i lost my patient so i asked how long until i get my foods? She said another 15 mins but she not sure on the 1 main dish! Very bad at running business. I am vietnamese too, so i know what yall up too! Dont want to wait on small tables and dont want to wait on vietnamese people. I own bussiness too and i will tell all my...
