Jubao Palace Noodle Bar (in Seminole Hard Rock Tampa)

Food was great. Service is exceptional and fast. Reasonably priced for its quality and quantity. Limited seating we had to wait in queue for 15 to 25 mins reasonable considering it is Sunday.

Updated 9/19/26: still fantastic. The best wok fried egg noodles around and the absolute best lychee martini. Don't try getting it at other locations, even within the casino, the noodle bar is the only place that makes it proper. I was told the combo plate is a wonderful deal and the fried rice is very tasty. Today Hope was our server and she provided exemplary service. Fantastic food and amazing service with a smile. No complaints :). (I would still like a meatless protein option though.). Definitely give it a try if you have not already. Original: I really do love this place, and now my mom is hooked as well! Consistently good food and drinks, friendly staff, nice portions and decent prices. I docked one star (ideally would have been only half if I could) because the vegetarian options could be improved. The vegetable wok fried egg noodles basically include green and regular onions, as well as bok choy. There is no tofu or plant based protein available. That being the case, it would be nice to have some additional vegetables included, perhaps like broccoli or bell peppers to add some more bulk and make it more filling in the absence of protein. But that being said, it is the best tasting noodles I have had since moving down here. I absolutely love Cantonese/Hong Kong style noodles, and this is the only place I found that serves it around here. And if you enjoy chili oil, do ask for it, it's delicious! I have been told that the duck and crispy pork belly are both phenomenal. The chicken fried rice and spare ribs are very good. And the soy chicken was just ok - not bad, but mediocre compared to the other dishes we tried. Also, the old fashioned and lychee Cosmo are both delish! (Don't get the lychee martini from the pool bar.... They said they could make it, and it was awful!) There is usually a lineup, but it varies. The first time I came here, we waited in line for amost 2 hours - at 1am! But we came for dinner Friday evening, and there was no wait. Go figure! But I would say maybe a half an hour wait is average. A party of one or two would be faster because you can sit at the bar seating.

Some of the best Asian food I’ve ever had (Vietnamese specialty). I literally drove 40 mins to the Hard Rock just to eat here and nothing else. Would be nice if they opened more locations. There’s typically a line out the door especially during busy times. I took my chances on a Friday evening and waited roughly an hour. However once you sit down to eat it’s all work it. The pork belly is my favorite as it’s cooked perfectly with crispy skin. There’s also other meats options which are all really good and would recommend a combo rice plate so you can try a variety. I also saw lots of people ordering the crab meat fried rice which looked really good and will try next time. I was also able to order some of takeout with me to go.

Always a line to eat here. They take full advantage of table space and sit people to tables that others are already seated at. Service was fast and friendly and price point is good too. It isn’t the best Pho 🍜 but pretty good. …

This place is inside the casino. We stood in line for about 20 minutes waiting for a table. If you don’t like the smell of cigarettes drifting in from the casino floor this place may not be for you. Someone won about $1700 on the slots while we waited which was pretty cool. The crab Rangoon’s was a highlight, along with the passion fruit Margarita.
