We had high hopes for Zom Hee after reading a nice article in the paper and seeing all the rave reviews online. Unfortunately, the restaurant didnt live up to the hype for us. We are New England transplants searching Florida for that elusive sit down Chinese Restaurant experience that we enjoyed in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. We thought Zom Hee might be it but it wasnt even close. Zom Hees drink menu looked promising. They offer several Polynesian type drinks with umbrellas in fancy glasses. However, the Mai Tais turned out to be disappointing pale pink concoctions that bared no resemblance to the traditional, brownish, pineapple and dark rum cocktails that we love. Most of the food was just edible. The crab rangoons were breaded and deep fried; the flavor of the filling wasnt bad but under all that breading it was really hard to tell. The chicken wings were flavorless; they were not seasoned or marinated in any way, just breaded and deep fried. The beef teriyaki was cold and tough. It wasnt all bad. The restaurant had a nice ambiance. Service was prompt and very polite. Pork fried rice was remarkable; it was actually the best we have had in Florida. The homemade duck sauce was very good. And, their tea was excellent. But overall, we feel we made a $60 mistake and we will not be back.

When our previous Chinese food restaurant closed down, I thought we would not find another good quality Chinese takeout around. We were so delighted to have found zom hee. Not only is the food delicious, but the personal attention that every guest receives is amazing. I ordered food on a Friday evening and was told it would probably be about a half hour due to how busy they were. The food was ready and I was on my way in about 20 minutes. But the part that was so amazing was all the people that the owner said hi too. I saw at least 10 people that he asked a question about their personal life, things that you would not know about unless you cared. He asked one lady how her sister was as she was in a car accident, another man about his son, he asked me how my interview went and his brother joked and said he would have to buy a Lexus if I got the job. Great food and great people!

This place is excellent. We just moved to Pinellas County and have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant. We had a favorite back in IL that was beyond compare to anywhere else that we ever tried. Tonight we finally found a match. Zom Hee was as good, if not better, than our favorite Chinese place of all time in IL. We were VERY happily surprised to find our new favorite Chinese food. We will now be regulars at this restaurant. I highly recommend it! The service and atmosphere were also very nice. Very prompt and courteous service. As far as value, it is about the same or slightly less than what we have been accustomed to for Chinese food.

Hands down best Chinese food in Pinellas. I have lived here all my life and suggest 3 food places to all of my friends. Zom Hee is one of them that I have been going to and referring people to for years now. (also Astra Pizza and Johnny Macks BBQ). This place has REAL Chinese food. Sweet and sour chicken made with pineapple, tomatoes, peppers, YES PLEASE. Fresh tea to clear your palette, pickled cucumber, served on a silver platter, less than $15? Awesome. Please try them out, I dont want them to ever go under! Great drink special prices and attentive staff. I am all about mom and pop restaurants, this is the place to go for True Chinese food!

Love Love Love this place. We had the Hawaiian Pork Ribs, Mei Fun noodles, Combo Fried Rice and the Sweet and Sour Chicken. First, the S/S Chicken is different then most places and way better, love they way they prepared it and so did the kids. Second, the Mei Fun noodles, my favorite dish!!! My youngest devoured the pork ribs and asked for seconds (he never ask for seconds). My husband and oldest ate everything else and left nothing!!! The owner was very friendly, the services was great and the place was very clean. We have found our new favorite place to eat!!!

I dont get it, why so many five star ratings? I chose this place because of the great reviews. We ordered our meals for take-out. They were horrible. Ive never had food this bad. The lemon chicken had raw meat mixed in with the cooked and several items that we have no idea as to what they might be. The cashew chicken was disgusting! Very dark brown sauce, not a good flavor and I dont know why. In my opinion, dont bother with this place. You can read my reviews on other places. You decide, Im a retired chef.

First time time going to Zom Hee tonight. My wife and I ordered take out but the inside looks like a nice authentic Chinese restaurant. The staff in front was very nice. Weve tried out a bunch of Chinese restaurants in the area but none compared to Zom Hee. Got the egg drop, wonton soups, bbq ribs, chicken fried rice, egg roll, and shrimp with lobster sauce. All were much better than any of the other places weve tried. Well be definitely going back again. This place is legit folks. Give them a try!

Not vegetarian friendly. For pork lovers. Id suggest going somewhere else if youre not a pork eater (like myself). The egg rolls only come with pork as an option. No spring rolls or even just chicken. This is also the case with their fried rice. Pork fried rice or white white. Make your choice. I ordered the General Tso and there was way more breading than chicken on the meat. The sauce was very good, however. Pros: Nice staff Nice atmosphere Free hot tea and fried noodles!

Would give 5 stars if my food was ever spicy.. Ive been ordering from here for over ten years now.. Even drive an hour to get some takeout.. Food is always good, sometimes better than others like everyone else.. Just cant stand on no matter how I order my food it is never spicy... Assuming its because of the large amount of old people that are always walking in ( I know you have to cater to your crowd but I would order more frequently if I actually got it the way I like)

My wife and I tried many places in the area and cant find anything better. Its a *little* more but as others said, you get more too and the quality is better. So its worth it, plus my wife and I have enough for a second meal the next day. We get the General Tsos Chicken and the chicken pieces are much better quality than the last few places we tried. Weve only been here twice but we are looking forward to going more...and I have to try the Crab Ragoons next - I love em!

Most of the time I go to Zum Hee the food is amazing. Tonight the service was terrible, my waitress offered to refill my coke as we were getting ready to leave. We ordered shrimp with garlic sauce, usually it is amazing. We got this dish with some brown sauce that had absolutely no taste at all. Even adding some salt didnt help. It was a $35.00 bad experience and Im not sure I will ever go back. I couldnt post without giving it at least one undeserving star!
