Gao Restaurant | Our Story
Opened on Thanksgiving, built around feeding people
Gao Restaurant opened in November 2023 on North Himes Avenue in Tampa — a family-run spot rooted in the warmth of Da Nang cooking.
Roots in Da Nang
Dishes like Bún Chả Cá, Mì Quảng, and Bún Mắm Nêm aren't reinventions — they're the real thing, brought straight from a family's hometown to Tampa.
The kitchen's daily promise
Every broth at Gao is made fresh each morning — never frozen, never rushed. Perfected over generations, you taste it in every bowl.
More than a meal
Our staff guides you through the menu, shares how dishes are traditionally enjoyed in Vietnam, and treats every guest like family. Reviewers have called the team "beyond pure hearted."
Your table is waiting
Families, kids, and pets are all welcome. Whether you're dining in or ordering from home, there's always a seat at the Gao table.
