Nestled in the heart of Tampa at 1000 W Waters Ave, Viet Haus Taste of Saigon offers an authentic Vietnamese dining experience that transports you straight to the bustling streets of Saigon. This family-owned gem brings to life the rich, vibrant flavors of Vietnamese cuisine with a menu thoughtfully crafted to showcase both beloved classics and unique seasonal treats.
The aroma of simmering broth greets you as soon as you step inside, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal. Their Phở Tái, simmered for 24 hours with all-natural ingredients and no MSG, bursts with a savory depth that diners consistently describe as “honest and homey.” The clear, fragrant broth comforts and excites, making every spoonful feel like a warm embrace. If you’re craving something with bold flavors and satisfying textures, the Cơm Sườn Nướng Grilled Pork with White Rice & Pickled Vegetables is a standout — tender, slightly caramelized pork paired with perfectly balanced pickles and fluffy rice that creates harmony on your palate.
Don’t miss the Banh MI DAC Biet, a Vietnamese sandwich renowned for its crispy baguette and generous fillings that meld savory and fresh notes with a hint of spice, or the delightfully crisp yet light Vietnamese Egg Roll, which customers rave remains perfectly crunchy even after cooling. For something refreshingly indulgent, the Mango Smoothie with Boba and the creamy Taro Milk Tea offer sweet relief and a playful textural experience.
The atmosphere at Viet Haus is cozy and inviting, the kind of place that feels like a well-kept secret shared among friends. Reviewers often highlight the warmth of the staff and the genuine kindness of the owner, creating an environment where authenticity extends beyond the kitchen. With clean, intimate surroundings, this spot is perfect for both casual lunches and relaxed dinners.
Portion sizes are generous and the pricing refreshingly reasonable, making it easy to indulge your cravings without hesitation. While some may find the broth slightly oily or portions a bit varied, the overwhelming consensus praises the freshness, quality, and heartfelt preparation behind every dish.
Whether you’re a pho connoisseur or seeking a comforting bowl for your soul, Viet Haus Taste of Saigon stands out as one of Tampa’s most sincere and delicious Vietnamese culinary destinations. It’s more than a meal—it’s a loving tribute to Saigon’s vibrant food culture that will have you coming back for more.

Wow! What a find! We popped in on a whim and left obsessed. The egg rolls are phenomenal, crisp, flaky, and still crunchy even after they cooled (my husband and I both said “best ever”). The pho tastes honest and homey, no shortcuts. It’s family owned, the owner is genuinely kind, and the prices are refreshingly affordable. Don’t let the low-key location fool you. This is the kind of cozy “hole-in-the-wall” that makes the drive totally worth it. We’re already planning our next visit.
Absolutely delicious! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully seasoned. The dishes tasted authentic and comforting, just like true Saigon home-style cooking. The restaurant has a clean, cozy vibe, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Portion sizes were generous and the prices were great for the quality. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving amazing Vietnamese food!
Pho so good I’m writing this review WHILE I EAT. I drove all the way from Fort Myers to check out another spot and decided to eat dinner here. By far one of the BEST BEEF BROTHS for sure. It’s sooo flavorful and I’ve eaten at quiet of few Pho spots. Would definitely recommend coming here. Server was so nice and sweet. Didn’t catch her name but thank you guys for being so attentive!
WE LOVED IT!!! My partner and I wanted to try a new Vietnamese place and we found this very cute gem in Tampa. The food was absolutely delicious!! The PHO WAS SO FRESH & HEALTHY!! They cook it for 24HRS and only use all natural ingredients (No MSG) which one can most certainly taste in this savory dish. For dessert I got a Strawberry Boba Smoothie which was soooo good!!! The owners are a husband & wife which is so adorable. One can feel they put lots of love & passion into all their dishes. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SPOT!
DECENT PHO AND BAHNMI Pretty decent pho and bahnmi in the area, definitely not the best but it was decent to satisfy the cravings. I would say the portions are a tad small and the broth is a bit too oily.
I will never forget that I found one of the best Pho that I have ever had in my life here in Tampa. Super yummy food, friendly service and reasonable price. Recommended!
Thank you for your healthy soups. I went for the first time, to buy soups for my family who was going through a cold. Owner told me and showed me, all the fresh ingredients and cooking style they used. Top home cooking. Thank you.
