Tudo’s Vietnamese Restaurant in Pensacola
While back in the U.S., we focused on Vietnamese food and Mexican food, two cuisines we miss while living in Kuwait. We ate several times at Tudo’s, and there are still many items on the menu we want to try.
Here is my very favorite thing – Vietnamese salad rolls. In France, they are served with a vinegar-y sauce, but in most places in the U.S., they come with this delicious peanut sauce:
My husband loves Pho, a big bowl of soup with either meat or chicken or tofu, plus tasty vegetables and lemon grass, cilantro, mint leaves, all fresh:
I like Pho, too, but this time I discovered a shrimp and meat dish served over vermicelli, utterly fresh and delicious:
Oh, how I would love to be able to eat Vietnamese food in Kuwait! It is all so fresh, so delicious, and (relatively) healthy food.
UPDATE: When I wrote this blog entry, I never dreamed one day we would be living in Pensacola; it wasn’t part of the plan. Plans change π Tudos is just one reason we are happy to be here.
Tudos telephone number for take-out: 850-473-8877
Tudo’s is located just north of Creighton on N. Davis, on the right hand side just after Ronnies Car Wash if you are going north on Davis. Coming South, you would have to make a U-turn at the Creighton and Davis light.

Wow this post makes me hungry (even though I just ate my typical falafel sandwich lunch). I really miss Vietnamese food here in Kuwait, especially spring rolls and pho! Real Mexican too, since I came here from Tucson Arizona.
Thanks for reminding me what I’ve been missing…
Oh! Real Mexican! Arizona Mexican, not California Mexican! Oh! It just isn’t here. But so many Kuwaitis go to school in Arizona that I am praying one day, one of them will bring some real Mexicans here, and start up a REAL Mexican restaurant!
Some Philipina friends told me they also make the salad rolls, with the peanut sauce, and that the rice paper wrappings are available here in Kuwait at the Phillipine food stores, but I have yet to see any salad rolls in a restaurant. Maybe soon, insh’allah!
[…] In the last 30 days, the all time favorite has been – I hope you’re sitting down – Scalloped Potatoes. I mean like whoda thunk?? Second is Kuwaiti Customs, which I am guessing is of interest mostly to my non-Kuwaiti readers who are fascinated by the differences in our way of life, as well as the similarities, and third is one of my all time favorites Porn For Women. Fourth for the 30 day period is “Make This Case Go Away” where a Minister makes the police drop what appears to be an air tight case against two young men who abduct and rape a maid, and fifth, one of those anomalies, Tudo’s Vietnamese Restaurant in Pensacola.

My husband, baby and I ….eat at Tudos almost everyday i love the #18 and i love the Spring rolls and i love the #36 i wish they delivered i would order Alot more i hope they never go out of business their food is so delicious
Oh Tonya, how I envy you. Their food is so fresh and so good! And I am far away, in Kuwait!
I am sorry.. I still enjoy eating there i just looked back i posted that may 25, 2007 thats a long time ago and im still eating there A LOT lol
LOL, Tanya, and now I am living in Pensacola, and I still think Tudos is probably my favorite restaurant. We go there, and when we are sick, we rely on their Won Ton soup, broth only. π I love #32 and #35 and the chicken salad, as well as the salad rolls (I think they call them summer rolls)
[…] love it that I can see statistics for each individual post. Some of my wierdest posts – like Tudo’s Vietnamese Restaurant in Pensacola written back in March can still get a high number of hits, and I like being able to see a […]
My God, I am drooling. Those salad rolls and the pho are driving me crazy just looking at them.
So hungry now!
I think we REALLY REALLY need a Vietnamese restaurant in Kuwait, don’t you? Next door to a really really good Mexican restaurant, with lots of parking for the two restaurants!
Came across your blog via a google search. I am going to TuDo today for lunch. Just thought I would rub it in π

Yes! Tu-Do! I googled it and your site came up. I love that place so much. They have the best egg rolls I’ve ever tasted.
Scott, it is one of the best restaurants – IMHO – in Pensacola. There are days in Kuwait when I yearn for TuDo’s. Thanks for your visit and comments!
I’m going there tonight after work…I wish they had a downtown location! They have fabulous food!
Good for you, Jamil, I eat there all the time! I love that place! The food is so FRESH. Right now I have some allergies, and their Won Ton Soup is keeping me alive. I never get tired of their food. π What will you have for dinner?
[…] Do Right Today, after church, AdventureMan took me to my very favorite place in Pensacola, Tudo’s (Vietnamese) and as we were waiting for our food, and our take out order (the Happy Baby has a bad cold so we […]
i would like to think that the best restaurants would serve very delicious and healthy foods
