Reviews for Loon Fong's Nam Viet Bistro - Machi Coffee & Tea in Pinellas Park, FL

Very authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Really enjoyed the food, best fresh rolls and Bun I've had so far. And we have tried many.

Visited exactly at 3:00 this is when all lunch special are over. Also when it slows down so we had the restaurant to our self it... was very quiet , clean and we where greeted promptly and sat. Menu is partly in Vietnamese a lot of the teams don?t have atranslation or image. With that being said if you don?t have experience with Vietnamese food good luck finding what youlike???????????. I tried the Vietnamese cold coffee and my friend order a soft drink. My coffee was nice and strong and notsweet at all, A+ for coffee lovers. We order House special Pho , sea food rice noodles stir fry and veggie wraps with shrimp andpork. Food came out quickly again no one else in the restaurant but us. It looked freshly cooked and smelled delicious,accompanied with our sticks spoons, forks and napkins. The table is equipped with sauces like siracha, spicy ???? oil sauce saltpepper , soy sauce etc. So you won?t need to ask for anything. So first impression of meal %100.00 positive. Next comes thetaste test! Pho was delicious ???? perfect seasoning not to strong or over powering of any of the meets the rice noodles cookedto perfection, the meets thinly cut and so soft ! The rice noodle seafood dish also had great taste not to sweet ( this wassomething we where concern about from reading previous reviews) also the small portion was order and trust me it?s not small atall . I was not a fan of the sauce for the vegetable wraps, this was to sweet and seams like it came out of a bottle. Customerservice was great food was tasty, price is fair for the portions, only reason I?m giving 4 stars was because of the menu beingvery difficult to understand, and the veggie wraps and sauce. We will definitely come back and try something else from theirmenu. They have so many variety of Bobas tea & smoothies! I feel like they don?t advertise this enough , I wouldn?t have knownthat they have all this if I hadn?t gone into the restaurant. ( You have to look deeper in the menu on line to find Read more

Had dinner right after work. Ordered the number 27. Price $11.95 Steak cubes, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and rice. Meal was out... quick and it was good. I got the bill $16.00. Menu that they gave me was a "menu that was out of date". Don't think I will beback. Read more

We used to love this place but we will never return. We have been going there for four years now and it has been delicious.... Tonight, my husband went in to the restaurant and ordered to go. He specifically asked for no onion in any meal, as him and Icannot eat onion. He got home with our meal, we opened our boxes, and everything is covered in onion. I called the restaurantright away, and the lady I spoke with on the phone was very nice. She apologized and said they would either remake our food orgive us a refund. Going to pick up a re made order was not an option, as we live 30 minutes away. My husband picked up the foodon the way from an appointment. A few minutes after we called the restaurant, we received a call back from who I would assume iseither the manager or the owner. This is when the unprofessionalism began. He said he was not going to refund us unless webrought the food back to prove that we did not eat it, as if us telling him we couldn?t eat it due to the onion wasn?t enough.He then proceeded to tell us the cook told him there was no onion in the food, even though there clearly is in the pictures,almost to insinuate we were lying. I have never been so offended by an establishment in my life and will never return. Waste of$50. Read more

Not to my taste. Not authentic Vietnamese restaurant and does not feel clean. All the food way too sweet and too much seasoning,... probably b?t ng?t, my mouth feel weird after. We are a party of 5 adult 5 kids, stopping by because of a review on YouTube. Weordered 1 ph?, 1 verimille noodle with grill pork & egg rolls, 2 crunchy noodle, 1 rice and shaken beef, 1 rice and grill pork,1 rolls with grill pork ball, 1 pan fried flat noodle, and one durian smoothie. The total ~$150. So not cheap. None of the dishwere tasted right to me. Pho, crunchy noodle, rice dish were not that good but passed. The number one to avoid is pan fried flatnoodle and durian smoothie. We not recommend and will not come back. Read more

They opened at 10 am, then we came at 10:01 am; the inside smelled gas lead too strong. My boyfriend works at the gas company so... he doesn't want something bad to happen to them and he told me to tell the waitress in Vietnamese that we smell it too strongand hope they will check it, but she got mad and said it was a food smell. Then we had a table; OMG! it is so dirty and has somebugs in the salt ????, the floor is dirty, too. I had a short hair in my bánh canh th?p c?m. Read more

Fresh rolls were big but no peanut sauce (not the kind I?m used to) egg rolls were great no idea what others mean by bland the... food was all flavored well. My boba was sweet and creamy but the actual boba pearls were overdone. Sandwich was good but cutoddly and too much bread. Servers were nice. Read more

First Time at Loon Fongs Nam Viet Bistro. It is Warm and invitinging decorated. The food was Fabulous. Big Portions. You can... tell the food was prepared fresh. The Shrimp were big, not that pink canned stuff. The chicken was real chicken and handbreaded. Not that frozen stuff you get at a chinese restaurant. I would most definitely return again. Read more
