Reviews
We ordered several dishes, but the highlight for all of us was definitely the Vietnamese caramelized fish. The flavor was incredible – rich, savory, and perfectly balanced with the rice. You can really tell they take their time and cook everything with care.
The food did take a little while to come out, but it was absolutely worth the wait. Everything arrived fresh, hot, and full of flavor.
If you’re looking for a place to enjoy authentic food and good vibes, Nickel City is definitely worth a visit. We’ll be coming back for sure.
What a pleasant and completely unexpected surprise! We stumbled into this spot on a quiet Sunday afternoon and, I’ll admit, we were a little nervous when we saw the empty dining room. But let me tell you—this place is seriously underrated.
The menu? Massive. Vietnamese, Thai, and American options, which can sometimes be a red flag, but we were feeling adventurous. Having lived in Asia, my husband and I knew we had to do a full-scale taste test—aka, order way too much food.
The Feast Begins:
Appetizers: The gyoza didn’t wow me, but the crab Rangoons? Chef’s kiss. Crispy, creamy, and packed with flavor.
Sushi: We tried the yellowtail sashimi and a roll—both were fresh and delicious. Major points for the roll size! I hate when sushi rolls are so massive you have to unhinge your jaw like a snake just to take a bite. These? Perfectly portioned.
Pho Challenge: My husband, in a moment of pure confidence (or foolishness), bet our server Huy that he could handle the large pho. This bowl was comically huge. I regret not taking a photo with his head next to it for scale—it was that big. (That’s what she said.)
Red Curry: My personal go-to at any Thai restaurant, and wow. One bite transported me straight back to my favorite Thai spot in Okinawa, run by the sweetest Thai couple. Rich, fragrant, and packed with authentic flavor.
Pad Thai (To Go, Because YOLO): Since we don’t live super close, we figured, why not bring some home? No regrets.
Was this an obscene amount of food for two people?
Abso-frickin-lutely. But here’s the thing—we’ve been searching high and low across Tampa for solid Asian cuisine, and this place delivered. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and honestly, exactly what we’ve been craving.
The service was fantastic, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the best part? Our bill—with all that food plus four Sapporos—came in under $100 (before tip). And speaking of tips—please tip your servers well!
We’re already planning our next visit. If you haven’t checked this place out yet, do yourself a favor and go. You won’t be disappointed.
Gyoza was nothing special but has a great dipping sauce. Crab Rangoon was very nicely done and great flavor.
Here’s where we have fun… when ordering pho and the dude laughs and says “you should get the large” please beware! It was massive! Ate every bit but still was massive. Great aromatics in the broth and a lovely, light meal (if you order the regular). Share the large with a friend or prepare for a food coma.
The pad Thai is some of the best I’ve had in Tampa Bay (my opinion is based on living in Asia for a few years, not just local haunts).
The sushi was lovely, light and fresh. Yellowtail sashimi was very tasty as well.
Not a bad meal came across our table.
Highly recommend swinging by this place for a taste of Asia.
My friends originally told me to check out the buy one get one roll deal during happy hour. I guess I waited too long because now it is simply two rolls for twelve dollars, which is only a small two dollar savings. The shrimp tempura roll was fried nicely and still crispy, so that was a plus. The salmon tuna roll was fine, nothing special. A little avocado or cucumber would go a long way in adding texture and flavor. I did like that the rolls came in eight pieces instead of the usual six.
They sprinkle a tiny bit of masago and sesame seeds on the outside of the rolls. That should really only be mentioned on the menu for allergy reasons because the amount is so small. Yet they list it like it is some kind of bonus, which is a stretch.
We also ordered the fried egg rolls, which came out piping hot, but they were small and skimpy at two for five dollars. The wrapper was too thick and the inside was too dry. I know several places that offer three large egg rolls for the same price.
For an old school looking bar, they have a decent sized parking lot and ample amount of tv’s if you want to see some sports. They have a few pool tables, variety of arcade and slots, along with a ton of dart boards (both traditional and electronic). Its a low key vibe of old locals for the most part.
So far, I am not overly impressed with the food. I might consider coming back to try some of their other dishes like pho. Prices are not too bad, the service was quick and friendly, and the drinks were crazy cheap. If I do end up returning, it would probably be for the cheap beer more than anything else.
