“Spicy Thai Tofu Bowl(Tofu, red bell peppers, straw mushrooms, potatoes, romaine lettuce, seasoned rice and zing sauce)I was not a fan of coconut curry flavors until visiting Vellee a few days ago. I called an audible and ordered the Spicy Thai Tofu Bowl. Before we walked in the door, I just knew I was going to order the Korean BBQ bowl. I am delighted I was wrong. The chef perfectly dialed the spice level (#2) to my hopefulness, partnering it well with the zing sauce. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a zing sauce, but it was persuasive enough to make me change my mind about curries. The creamy coconut sauce covered the fresh ingredients with comforting casualness. The sauce to rice ratio was good – as was the sweet to heat ratio. My favorite surprise ingredient was the potato! It felt like it belonged all along. I left Vellee very satisfied, wanting nothing more or less. The vibe was as energetic as the boom box display on the far wall. I intend to go back again in attempt to get the Korean BBQ bowl.“
“I thought I had written a review for this place already, oops, my bad. I love, love, love this place! Came here on a weeknight and it was packed. I did not make reservation but we got lucky by snatching two chairs at the bar. It is small inside but worth the wait. The staff was super efficient and friendly, there were two girls and one guy. The guy helped us with drinks and ordering our food. I am so sorry I forgot his name, but you could tell how hardworking they all were. We both ordered Potsticker Duet (highly recommend): *shrimp, Angus beef, chives *tofu mushroom kale *dill pork *kimchi pork My favorite was dill pork, it goes well with old godmother hot sauce. Honestly all the potstickers were amazing and their list of dipping sauce was great too. A female chef (we think she is the owner) came out of the kitchen and asked us how we are doing, and she gave us some kimchi she made the same day for samplings. Everything was delicious and the drinks were top notch, of course I always get my favorite drink, old fashioned with Japanese whiskey. Superb place.“
“I have been going to Abang Yoli since they opened up their Nicollet location. Their food and service has always been delightful and on point.Although Abang Yoli is known for its Korean Fried Chicken, many of their other dishes have been a culinary delight. Most recently, I had the pleasure of eating their sweet potato dish. This dish blew my mind. The sweet potato was creamy, crunchy, and UMAMI all at once. Every bite had so much flavor! It caught me off guard for sure. I'd highly recommend everyone to try this vegetarian (maybe vegan?) option.A few other dishes are my regular favorites. Their bao is by far this location’s flavorful bargain. I normally get one fried chicken bao, and a tofu bao. Each are served on the fluffiest buns and are paired with their own particular sauces. For $5.50 a bao, it’s a steal. Especially if you don’t want a regular sized piece of fried chicken (they’re huge) but have a craving of that satisfying crunch.There are so many other dishes that I’d want to recommend but you should really come and give this place a taste. Their brunch is really good too!Just as an fyi, their location is small. So if you’re thinking of dining in with a party of 10, don’t. Just order out. It’ll still be hot, fresh, and very crunchy.A few other dishes you should try:char siu plate (main)chicken sandwich (mainbreakfast bang bowl (brunch only)Asian fries (side)pickles (side).“
“Great food as you can see once she kick the shoes off u know it's good..First time I went to a restaurant where I didn't need to add any sauce which is very good btw but the meat had so much flavor I kept forgetting to use it definitely would recommend for a nice date night or you can just cook up some nice food and enjoy the atmosphere, almost forgot great drinks as well...“
“absolute banger of a restaurant. if you're craving hearty, flavorful east asian cuisine and a homey down to earth atmosphere, this is your place.i grew up going to hole in the wall Chinese restaurants and this hit the spot. big portions, delicious, good vibes.“
“I have been checking this restaurant out for a while now and I’m so glad that I have decided to come here. I had catered through this restaurant for a very important family event in the first thing to go with the eggrolls. They are hands-down, the best eggroll served in Twin Cities. They’re made with a rice paper versus an egg paper which makes all the difference in the world. Also, the food is very authentic and fresh. Comes out very hot and never disappoints“
“World Street Kitchen is a decent fusion restaurant with some unique(ish) menu items you won’t find anywhere. Never been impressed by one of their offerings and most things you can find better elsewhere but I have also never had a bad meal. Just fine! Atmosphere in the restaurant is good and seems somewhat clean. Service is a little on the slow side.“
“I love a good Korean meal! I love the 1/2 & 1/2 chicken wings: spicy good or garlicky good. I always recommend the doltsot Bibimbop (in the HOT stone bowl) so you can enjoy some toasted rice at the bottom of the stone bowl! 1 star taken off since they charge for banchon (the side dishes that usually accompany a good Korean bowl!) and it’s a little pricey for no kimchi or radish“
“My partner and I don't go out to eat anywhere - except here! I'm always amazed at how speedy the service is, and how delicious the ramen is every time!I love their bubble tea! The fruit teas come with fruit chunks in them! Love it!We typically park on a side street behind the building and walk around, since parking on Ford is difficult.“
“The food is delicious and SUPER HOT. I had the shrimp green curry with red and green bell peppers. It was served in green curry sauce with rice on the side. I had two appetizers: spring rolls and pot stickers each with its own dipping sauce. The service was exceptional. The food came hot and ready to eat. I had green tea to top it off.“
“I want to give this cute spot five stars! The Cove is a no frills lunch spot with a lot of customizable options (brown rice, pick all your favorite toppings, sauces and spice level). I think the quality is solid and the portion sizes are generous! The missing star is to account for the inconsistency. Sometimes a level 2 spice level is perfect and sometimes it's wayyyy to much. Sometimes they add lots of fish, sometimes just a few pieces. I think it just depends on who is working that day. I think they could improve on staff training to improve consistency. Despite this, I find myself coming back to this delicious spot for a quick and filling lunch! It's definitely worth going and trying out! I also think the fusion theme is awesome - they have sushiritos, banh mi, rice bowls, steam buns, sambusas, burgers, etc! It's a pretty impressive variety.“
“This is by far the best Thai that we have in the neighborhood! I usually get pad Thai and red curry anytime I try a new place, and I’ve been disappointed with the two other places nearby—but not here! I asked for pad Thai Flamin hot with tofu and it’s one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. The tofu was perfectly cubed and fried without being greasy, and the sauce a rich brown color with notes of peanut, tamarind, and lime (slightly sweet and tangy), and the spice was perfectly hot without being overpowering. Most other places give me mild/medium when I ask for Thai hot, and this place actually listened. The red curry was also memorable with bright flavors from the Thai basil and veggies. Poured over rice, it’s a heavenly combo perfect for a cold night. I am so grateful to have a new go-to Thai spot! I hope they stick around for a long time.“
“This Cantonese restaurant is not to be missed. We stumbled upon it when over by the U of M and couldn’t have been more impressed with the delicious food. We’ve been here several times now and our must-order is the salt and pepper beef short ribs hot pot,(picture included). The beef is so tender and perfectly seasoned, coming with onions, peppers, and a side of rice of course. Other dishes have been very enjoyable too. The staff is kind, quick to attend to you when you arrive, and clearly the cooks are experts in their field. What’s nice about here too is that it has a good dining atmosphere with a lot of eat-in patrons, not just operating primarily as a takeout joint like many Asian restaurants do. Highly recommend!“
“never fails with this location! Food is always fire, but tonight I came fore drinks and some homeless person came in and took my drink. Although it seemed pretty funny to me and wasn't too pressed about it, the staffed noticed and took care of me. Service is on point ?“
“Two of my favorite things to pair with beer are Korean food and American fast food. A new acquaintance and I ordered the Kimchi Slaw from Abang Yoli. It started with hints of the classic Southern picnic slaw and then finished with buckets of Korean flavor and enough heat to punch you in the face. In the best way possible. The Asian fries were perfectly cooked – not overly oily or salty, but just enough to know I was being naughty. I appreciated how the shredded leeks and cilantro smartly balanced the deep-fried wickedness. Abang Yoli stood out from the other vendors at “The Market At Malcolm Yards” with their Asian flavors infused into fast food. The Market itself was several tiers above a typical food hall with its festive casual atmosphere complete with beer taps and full-service alcohol vendors, making the experience memorable.“

“If you're coming to the Hmong Market there's a lot of places to go eat and drink. If you're hankering for the real deal you have to come to Rose's Kitchen. There are a few options for you if you don't eat meat but we got a Thai iced tea and some sweets and they were great. The place is nice to come and sit down to have a quick meal or a refreshing drink!Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options but it's best if you at least eat fish. Most drinks will be either vegetarian or even vegan.“
“Went on a Sunday around 1pm. Was seated right away. Huge menu with lots of things to choose from. The food description was well written so it's easy to order what you want. I really like that there's a variety of dishes from pho, appetizers and stir fries even seafood boil.There's a cute photo backdrop bench at the front entry for those that like taking photos. The customer service was great. Definitely coming back to try the other food items. ?“

“This place has some very delicious asian food. They also have some good vegetarian and vegan options. The only problem is the menu! they do have any menu, they have some items written on the back wall, but it does not have all their items. The food is very delicious and I must say that they make the BEST Lo Mein in town. The price is very reasonable and its your wallet friendly.“
“We had the vegetarian option with a side of kale salad , chutney and a couple of other fabulous items , it was absolutely delightful, we appreciated the wonderful spices and flavors. This food is obviously made with love and made our Saturday even more enjoyableTo add to our happy experience she serves super nice portions that allow for some more enjoyment the next day. We add some fish and put the chutney on top of it … amazing!!!!We are looking forward for some more - we are clients for life“
“Our first time here... The food was great! All but 2 tables in the main section were full. Spicy selection from 0 to 5... we got a few 3's and a 2.Chicken Green Curry at 2 was great.Beef Red Curry ordered a 3 but seemed sweet and lighter in spice than the green Curry.The seafood salad 3 was goodAnd the chicken fried rice at 0 was tasty... with no spice at all.Egg rolls and Thai sausageThe price for 4 adults was $100 without tipParking: As it was put first time here we are not up on the parking... for us it was difficult.“

“Food is good! I really liked the heat (I got the spiciest you can get) with the chicken currito, if there was a possibility to get it hotter... I probably would. Tastes similar to the curry we would make back at home but in a burrito. The burrito is huge.I think I'd like to try the banh mi to see how good those are next time.My biggest knock on it is that the price is a little higher for lunch BUT I thought it was worth it.“
“This place has always served excellent food and has outstanding service. Everyone is friendly with smiles and is happy to be here. We enjoy food from here often and we love it! Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options: lots of vegetarian options available, I always encourage to load up on veggies ?“
“When I was craving sushi the other night and didn't feel like going out in the cold, this new takeout & delivery only restaurant popped up so I decided to try it. And I'm so glad that I did! The sushi arrived quickly and was super fresh. I got 2 spicy hamachi rolls, 2 spicy tuna rolls, and a miso soup. The soup was good but nothing to rave over, and rolls exceeded my expectations. They were fresh, tasty, and a good size. I even packed some for lunch the next day (still tasted great as leftovers) and the rice stayed soft too! Would definitely recommend for an at-home sushi night.“
“These might be the best pork egg rolls I’ve had in the twin cities. So crispy and flaky. And the beef lo mein was nicely sauced. The music was a little loud , but we were seated near the speaker. Was a little disappointed that the music wasn’t censored since we had a first grader with us. I ate the egg rolls too fast to take a picture.“
“My husband and i decided to try this place this weekend and we do like the food we had ordered. My favorite dish we ordered was the pork padthai. If you had laothia restaurant padthai. This probably the closest tasting dish i had in a long time and you can add spicy to the dish. The pork padthai was very good. My 2nd favorite was the beef brisket. We added medium spicy to it and it was delicious. It wasn't too sweet, the favors of the beef brisket balanced very well. The raw laab was good too. We did no green onion and no bitter. I like my raw laab still tasting fresh and favor balancing. If you're in the area, i definitely recommend stopping at this place if you're looking to have some good foodParking: We went during lunch time so parking was hard to find.“
“I've never been to the physical restaurant, but I always order the pho soup through Uber Eats, they give super generous portions and the soup is always so tasty, I started ordering the soup about 7 times a month, not to mention the price is affordable !! You can try this restaurant, it's worth every penny :)“
“They’re food is a solid 10/10. Drinks 10/10. Only bad thing is they only have one cook and he’s slammed. But their food is that good that you should wait. & our bartender, Pam is a sweetheart.Ngl, they even gave the my mom the wrong order & she said it’s ok, I’ll eat it… because it was that good lol!“
“Just moved to the area during the middle of the last month. Lot's of chinese food around here. This place had the best score so I figured I'd give it a shot. Quaint little shop, wonderful couple that owns it, very friendly, very accomadating. The food is top notch, I will be back again for sure many many times.“
“Yummm! This place hit the spot after we did a wine tasting next door. We were walking by and just thought we would give it a try and we are so glad we did! We sat at the bar and the waiter was very helpful with recommendations for sushi! We tried the Bliss roll which was so so good. Highly recommended that roll. We also trying one more roll which I unfortunately for got the name but the presentation was very pretty! The menu had many options to choose from. After we were done someone said next time we come back to get the edamame!We will return for more sushi in the future.“
“Was craving sushi and Chinese, so decided to check this place out. I ordered to go and the food was still hot and crispy when I got home. The quality of the general tso’s chicken was really fresh, cream cheese wontons had lots of filling, and the fried chicken was flavorful, crunchy and juicy. Also, the sushi roll‘s rice to fish ratio was perfect! Will be back to try other dishes ?“
