This was our first experience Dining at Hales and It was quite the delicious experience. The food was expertly prepared and presented, the waitstaff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
We ordered the Blackbrick Tower 25 and all of the options within were delicious. For our main course we ordered CHEF HALES FLORIDA WINTER PRIX FIXE and the experience of going through the tasting selection within this dish was an amazing experience, the Rice Siu Mai was tender and delicious. The Salt & Pepper shrimp was tasty, but the star of the dish was the house made soy sauce that was out of this world. The eggplant was soft and the Yu Zhiang was a flavor you need to experience at least once in your life.
Then there is the main course the Mala Chicken. This has to be some of the most flavorful Fried chicken I have ever had, now I will preface this by saying my wife dislikes spicey food, and the seasonings on this are now the de facto level of spice and flavor she wants when she is eating this type of cuisine. It is has a heat that will not blow out your pallet, you can feel the warmth of the spices while not losing your ability to taste the food. 10/10 would recommend to everyone to try.
Then finally the Cookie Butter Banana Pie, It was soft, fluffy and chilled to perfection. The perfect way to cool the tongue after some spiced foods.
Overall I can’t wait to bring my friends and family here so they can experience this amazing restaurant and food.

Great food, great service, great night! The vibe is very fun. We went to the bar for a happy hour drink and the bartenders were all super nice and friendly. Got to our table and our server, Whitney, was so friendly and so helpful. She helped steer us to great menu items and appropriate portions. Honestly, all the food was outstanding. We particularly loved the soup dumplings and the chicken fried rice. We will be back!

This was one of the best restaurant experiences I have had in a very long time..walked in and was greeted by a very nice young lady. She seated my friend and I and introduced herself and turns out she and her husband are owners. She was so friendly and accommodating. During our meal she assisted the waiter with bringing desert and sang happy birthday to guests (beautiful singing voice) !! Towards the end of our meal Richard Hales came and introduced himself and discussed his inspiration for his meals. After a great short conversation my friend informed me he had an extensive background !! This was amazing. Food was great, staff is great!!!!, atmosphere is greattttt !!! My friend and I ate appetizer, main course, and dessert bill was under 160 dollars!

Decided it was time to try this restaurant at their new location after hearing great things about it.
Great atmosphere and bar area when you walk in, good mood and spot for a date.
Service was great from the start, waitress was great and very helpful. The menu has a good spread of options.
We shared dishes as recommended so we started with the dumpling tower, all were good and fresh. Followed by their Brussels sprouts (favorite) and fried yuca. We continued with their truffle fried rice, fried chicken and lamb chops. All were very good and not your run of the mill flavors, all very creative and full of great flavor. Then finished it with their cookie butter banana pie, which was also great. All this food was enough for 4 people and we took some home.
Parking only valet, or park on the road or elsewhere (my only dislike). We will for sure return to try other dishes as we loved this restaurant.

Amazing night with great food and excellent service at Hales. So glad I celebrated my birthday here. From inception the staff were exceptional. Our server Marcel went above and beyond for my family and friends to give us the best experience. The dumplings and pork belly were my favorite but will definitely be back for more delicious food. The owner came out personally to thank me for choosing his restaurant for my special occasion. Hands down Class act!!

Exceptional. Loved everything. The menu is so creative, so delicious. Extensive wine list. And I can’t remember the last time I had a server as good as Marcelle. Request him if you can. The owner even left the kitchen to go by all the tables to thank people for coming in. Next time I’m in Tampa — this spot is a must revisit.

Yesterday was my very first time dining at Hales Black Brick in Tampa, and honestly, it was an experience I’ll never forget. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere had this wonderful balance of warmth and elegance — it immediately set the tone for the night.
The dishes were absolutely breathtaking — both in flavor and presentation. Every bite felt like a story, crafted with so much love and attention to detail. I tried a beautiful selection from the menu along with a cocktail, and everything was pure perfection. The flavors were layered, balanced, and memorable, making it feel so much more than just a meal — it was an experience in itself.
Beyond the food, what really made the night special was the energy of the space and the hospitality. The staff were friendly, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do, which made me feel so comfortable and welcomed.
If I could rate it higher than a 10, I would — truly a 100/10 experience. I can’t recommend this place enough, and I’m already looking forward to going back again. Tampa is lucky to have such a gem!

I experienced some of the best service I have ever had at this restaurant. Everything about it is absolutely wonderful. everything was fantastic and the apple pie dessert in particular was amazing. I also enjoyed the Florida summer martini and sichuan mezcal. We also had the pork belly which was so good. I forgot to get a picture of it before we ate it all.

Tried this place out with friends. The services was very efficient and the food was great. Serving sizes are shareable for two but it’s probably 3 realistically. Try the lamb chops and dumpling, they were great and tasty. The waiter was very nice and friendly and super attentive. Only downside was that they accepted reservations until 8:30pm with a 9pm closing time. It’s a tight turnaround but otherwise a great experience.
