33 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Bloomington

“Update: this is my favorite pho spot in the Mpls area. I’ve tried a lot of places and will continue, this is my favorite.
This place was just about packed on Wednesday evening (5:30pm).

Original post:
Yum all the way through my pho soup. Is that clove I smell. Yum, again.
Egg rolls were nice.
Pork wontons weren’t my favorite.
Really nice chili pepper church oil.“

“Food was awesome and the service was excellent I commend them for their sandwiches“

“I found this place online, while searching for a place that provided plenty of vegetarian options that my wife might enjoy.

I was not expecting to love the food as much as I did, as I'm still fairly new, somewhat hesitant to try plant-based/vegan foods. But the Pad Thai and the Fried Lemongrass Chili Tofu - I couldn't eat enough of both and the serving size was more than adequate for the both of us to share. The depth of flavor in the Pad Thai was excellent, as I feel many dishes elsewhere hide the food behind the sauces and this is not one of those.

The food was excellent but felt light and I wasn't feeling stuffed but extremely satisfied.

We can't wait to go back and try more dishes, as it was hard to narrow down to two entrees and two appetizers.

and then I spoke with the waiter when I went to pay the bill and he told me about it being a family-run restaurant and such... very cool! We will be back in the near future.

Thank you!“

“Super clean, super friendly people and great food!!! Got sesame chicken and pad thai and even our super picky teen ate, in fact he took most of my chicken instead of just the rice! Will be back for sure thanks!!!!!“

“This place was absolutely amazing! I ordered the salt & pepper fried tofu (as everyone recommended) and it did not disappoint — perfectly crispy and flavorful. I also tried three different soup base options with loads of fresh veggies, and everything was delicious, but my favorite by far was the spicy Szechuan base — rich, bold, and just the right amount of heat. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about vegan options. They confirmed the peanut sauce is vegan, but the Thai chili sauce contains fish sauce, so keep that in mind. The atmosphere is cozy with low lighting — perfect for warming up on a cold Minneapolis day or for a relaxed date night. Would definitely come back next time I’m in town!“

“Great location, excellent food and the customer service is outstanding! Bonus, the atmosphere was friendly & the owner has a gorgeous variety of houseplants and the healthiest fig I have seen in my life in the NE corner of the building! Food: A+ Service: A+ Atmosphere: A+ Will recommend and hope to see you again!!! 😀👋🏻“

“Came to Minnesota on vacation and looked for a Vietnamese restaurant. We had two types of spring rolls and the banh mi. Both were delicious and fresh and the service was prompt and personal. Highly recommend if looking for Vietnamese food in the area!“

“I've Been coming here for 13 years and never been disappointed and the owner is the definition of customer service, he knows how to treat his guests right. This right here is my #1 best place for pho“

“Always a winner! Pho, Bahn mi, spring rolls are my go to’s and never disappoints“

“Absolutely delicious! 5 stars! ☺️“

“Food is just plain great, prices are pretty good value too.
Okay gave this review above two years ago, place is still awesome in 2025. It is head and shoulders above any other Asian cuisine we have tried. The food is so good and the price versus food amount is a great value. Absolutely love these guys!!!!“

“Best pho, pork chop and fried chicken wings. We eat here about once a week. Super friendly staff and owners.“

“Edit: They renovated, and I love the new, bigger interior! I tried banh canh cua (crab udon) and it was delicious. Service was a little slow but maybe because they reopened recently. Will come back to try other dishes.

Tiny restaurant with authentic vibe. I tried the bun bo hue, and it was not bad but I’ve had better in the city. I would go here for a quick fix to my vietnamese food cravings because of the location convenience.“

“Very nice place, very amazing food,,, I go there a lot and like yeah the people already know me and my parents and like yeah,,, it’s very cool and since I tried pho I fell in love with it, very niceee and I also love their iced coffee with condensed milk it’s very nice!!“

“Jasmine Deli is amazing! Their food is some of the best in the area and the service is excellent. Never a bad experience! 👍🏼😋“

“I’m an Asian food snob ! This is the best food I’ve had in the states hands down. High quality food, not greasy , clearly fresh ingredients and superb service“

“Had a couple of meetings today then lunch with a dear friend. The owner of @lotusminneapolis noticed I wasn’t feeling too well. I mentioned I was suffering with post concussion headaches & was in pain since yesterday. He immediately went and got me hot tea and broth complimentary. It’s been a long time since I have experienced such genuine concern & care at a restaurant. Big up to this amazing establishment. And thank you 🙏🏾 #sᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛsᴍᴀʟʟʙᴜsɪɴᴇss #minneapolis #lotusrestaurant #amazing customer service“

“My wife and I have been here many times this year and the food is always very good, fresh and delicious. I ordered the Chicken with Rice Noodles and asked for a side of Cilantro, Lime and Lettuce. The noodles and the thin sliced chicken were perfectly cooked and savory.

My wife had the Triple Delight, the whole platter was delicious, the beef was very tender while the broccoli, snow peas and other fresh vegetables were perfectly colorful and crisp.

I also loved the Vietnamese coffee:)

Anh was our server and did an excellent job making sure we had everything we needed.“

“Super good love this place 😋😋😋“

“just had the lemon grass chicken sandwich. definitely hit the spot.“

“This is the first time my wife and I have visited Saigon Uptown, and we were extremely impressed. They have amazing food that is served and prepared by wonderfully friendly people. We would highly recommend the Pork Egg Rolls, the Pho (I had the Pho with beef, filet mignon and meatballs), and the banh mi.“

“I've been working my way through the menu and have Loved everything I've ordered so far. The fried rice is delicious, the pho is delicious, the egg rolls are great, the Vietnamese plates are delicious, and they even put chili crisp in the table!“

“Our daughter’s favorite local restaurant. We were very impressed with the menu choices and left very satisfied. Best spring rolls!“

“YUM! all day everyday“

“Such good food! I could eat the egg rolls every day.“

“The food was amazing! The pho doesn't have a lot of artificial beef flavor and was very big. The price was reasonable. I had to take home half of my pho! Also the cream cheese wontons were also delicious! The service was quick. The room was pretty small though but it's alright. 5/5 stars would come back again.“

“I would recommend pho hoa, but sadly their customer service went down. 😢 food is getting served late and they usually very fast. SAD indeed.“

“The BEST Vietnamese I’ve had south of the cities. Their pho broth is light and consistent every single time. If you’re like me and need the comfort of pho, there’s nothing more frustrating than when the broth is just meh about half the time and awesome the other half. I want it awesome every time, and Pho 45 always delivers.“

“Trung was very easy to work with for our event where we had Pham's Rice Bowl cater. It was easy to communicate and order the dishes, which were very delicious. The cheese wontons were a hit for our group. We had dietary restrictions for certain dishes and Trung was very accommodating, as well. Great affordable caterer!“

“Top notch food here, it's almost a crime to add anything else into the broth of their pho. This place is a gem for sure, it's one of my favorites.. the cream cheese wontons are some of the best around town. The lighting is soft, it's usually occupied but when it's not it's definitely a vibe and the staff here is extremely hospitable and kind. Almost anything we've ever requested has been granted to us here.“

“I met there with my parents friends. Andy was amazing. Wonderful service. He cracked jokes and the food was really really good. I had the vegetable egg rolls and we split a bunch of Vietnamese dishes highly recommended place very good food.“

“As authentic as it gets. Older family run business that’s been around for 30 years. Owner, family and their 93 year old mom are still making some great food. Soup was really hearty which was great since many Pho places can water it down but this was great. Noodles weren’t overcooked too soft either. Lots of meat in the Pho too! Definitely recommend this place!“
