“ Looks a little shady on the outside but totally different on the inside. Service was great, helpful and food came out fast. The food and drink was better than expected. The coconut water was delicious and they even open the coconut to eat the meat. ”
“ I'm so glad we stopped in for dinner. The outside is deceiving for what you experience inside. Our service was prompt and friendly from beginning to end. Everything came out fast and steaming hot! Food tasted amazing, and portions were more than enough. Make sure to try the house made hot pepper sauce in the plain bottle for extra kick! Definitely a favorite. ”
“ This a must in Lakeland. Best Pho in town. Perfectly seasoned broth, noodles were excellent, fresh veggies, tender meat, and a large serving. I have had their sausage, shrimp chips, dumplings and fried tofu, and they are all great. The restaurant is clean, features art work on the walls and you forget for a moment that you are on Combee. Great service and everytime I have been, the dishes have been excellent. Zero complaints. It is my favorite place for a big bowl of hot soup. It is my favorite thing to eat when I am not a 100 percent. ”
