33 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Little Canada

“Always EXCELLENT!!!“

“Absolutely delicious! 5 stars! ☺️“

“This feels like a converted bakers square with the long “greenhouse” section of seating.

When you first walk in you immediately see the pickup counter and a row of 3 iPads to order from. There’s a second counter where you can also order from an employee.

I was unfortunately fooled by the photo of bubble tea and didn’t realize I needed to add that separate so I was disappointed with a $6 boba-less tea. Still tasted good.

Went back for a classic Bhan-Mi. Bread was amazing (baked in house) and ingredients were fresh.

It was pretty busy Halloween Friday at 11:30 AM. Many pastries were already sold out so I’d order ahead!“

“Great food, staff, and reasonable prices.“

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

“Amazing service, quick and delish!“

“Best food around. I’ve been going for over 20 years and it’s still delicious!“

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

“The staff are so nice. The crab and asparagus soup is so unique and yummy. ❤️“

“We have been regulars for over 5 years and absolutely LOVE this place. The sesame chicken, PHO, spring rolls, won tons and pad thai always come out perfect. So so good and reasonably priced!“

“always tasty and quality. love the friendly and quick staff. Vietnamese coffee can be too sweet for me but they'll adjust it for you.“

“Parents just moved to this neighborhood 9 mos ago and we were visiting from Los Angeles over the Holiday Wkn in Dec. We were eating way too much heavy foods that week and needed some medicine. Some PHO 🍜 😌

We loved: the rare steak & brisket pho, eggrolls/springrolls, (saw chicken wings delivered to a table that 👀 delicious-we didn’t order since we had a lot of food already)
Service, atmosphere was excellent and feels like you’re eating in a family home.

Our only critique is that the THAI TEA needs to have less milk and more tea. The more orange the better! 🙏🏾🙌🏾TYSM!- we will back again for our next visit to MN!“

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

“the greatest place to eat pho“

“The phone was okay. I had much higher expectations from what I have heard. I definitely would not go out of my way to go back. However I would give it a 5 out of 10 for their pho definitely not the best I've had and definitely not the worst.“

“yes i like their pho and other foods there. tastes great.“

“Great food and friendly, warm customer service.“

“tbh their pho tastes good. love the other appetizers and foods they make there. :) Good customer service.“

“Super fresh ingredients and friendly service.“

“I’ve been craving bún bò huế for a while but was hesitant to try it just anywhere. After hearing that Tay Ho serves some of the best in the Twin Cities, I finally decided to check it out and wow, it did not disappoint!

The broth came out piping hot, rich, and full of flavor. It was loaded with generous chunks of brisket and a pork hock that soaked up all that goodness perfectly. The meat was tender and paired so well with the noodles and herbs.

The lady who served my friend and I was kind and attentive, always refilling our water and checking in on us without being overbearing.

We also ordered egg rolls and spring rolls on the side. The egg rolls were crispy and flavorful, but the spring rolls weren’t really my favorite. The pork had a slightly funky taste.

The restaurant itself is cozy with tables close together, so you might catch snippets of nearby conversations. Parking can be a little tight too, but it’s manageable.

Overall, the food and service here totally won me over. I’ll definitely be back for their bún bò huế and to try more items from the menu next time!“

“Great food and a EVEN BETTER AND CARING OWNER“

“Awesome service, good food and overall a fun place. Large menu and also have a lot of Gluten Free items and are indicated on main menu. Will definitely go back! So many more dishes I want to try!“

“I've been going here (well actually began eating at the original location next door) for over 25 years! It is my very favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the world! So sad to see it close! We have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, etc. The family has always been so kind. Mai Village you will be greatly missed!�“

“Our little local Ancient Indian Spices is now available at this foodie destination!“

“Took the Wife and teen went to dinner last night and were very impressed with the food, ambiance, and simple yet classy space. The food had a short but diverse offering from appetizers to dessert. All Vietnamese origin with variations created by chef Eric Pham. We got the roast pork fried rice, hot chili flake chicken wings, hot chucking sandwich, and the Tres Leches cake. All delicious! Chef Pham came over to greet us several times and was very gracious and warm. Much appreciated!“

“Tried this last week. Portion size is good (2 item combo); more rice than chicken.

It looked better than it tasted. The sesame chicken seemed a day old/from the previous day (a little stringy and dry), but it was still ok. The orange chicken was better, but overall the food tasted like standard Chinese food. The fried rice was good, but standard as well.

Just over $14 for the combo.

No seating for the restaurant but there are plenty of tables for general seating in the center of the floor.“

“The staff and cook crew were great! I ordered the chicken Pho and it was excellent. I plan to return to try more menu choices.“

“Amazing Food and great service“

“Very nice people! The heo quay is AMAZING! I come here maybe every month I love the service and they do it as quick as they can I REALLY recommend the duck!

Kid-friendliness: I go here with my dad and people always say “ your daughter is so cute!” “I bet she behaves well” etc“

“Their thai boat for me wasn't good they tasted like package noodles. What was great and probably the best in MN to me is their raw larb. They use real pepper, not dry pepper, not chili flakes, real authentic cayenne pepper. 1 out of 5 places I've been to will use real pepper and not just that, they put mint leaves and lemon grass also. A lot of places just throw in cilantro and green onion, maybe red onion TOO. Their lao papaya is good, full of flavor and spice if you ask for it. I would say 4.5/5 overall as my main interest was their thai boat which wasn't for me. Service was great too.“

“Wonderful Experience at Ai Hues Bakery & Deli Next to Basil Cafe

I recently visited Ai Hues Bakery & Deli, located right next to Basil Cafe on University Avenue near Dale Street in St. Paul, and I was truly impressed. When I walked in, the place looked so nice, clean, and comforting-it immediately made me feel welcome. William was at the register and greeted me warmly, which added to the great first impression.

I highly recommend trying their Chrysanthemum Tea-a beautifully refreshing drink with a delicate floral sweetness that’s both soothing and delicious. It pairs perfectly with their food offerings. The congee (rice soup) I tried was the best I have ever had-rich, flavorful, and comforting in every spoonful.

I also bought three different steamed buns-savory pork, sweet taro, and another delicious variety-and they looked fantastic. I’m excited to try them soon!

The friendly service, combined with the high-quality food and cozy atmosphere, makes Ai Hues Bakery & Deli a must-visit spot. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick snack or a light meal, this place delivers an authentic and delightful experience. I can’t wait to return and try more!“

“I have quite a few favorites from the Menu so I'll share a few... A1 Jumbo Eggrolls - delicious! Chicken Pho - with either beef broth or chicken broth - best soup ever! If your a BUN lover - B4 Chix, Pork and Shrimp Bun is great!. S2 Spicy Ginger Stir Fry is really good but S13 Pork Belly Stir Fry is 5 stars and last but not least SP7 Mini Thai Boat - yummy! MN is becoming a hot spot for Vietnamese food and Wild Orchard is a contender in this arena.“
