Best Vietnamese food in mpls! My favorite sesame chicken anywhere! And don't get me started on their spring rolls. It used to be Cali's a decade or two ago but I swear most of the recipes have stayed the same thank God.

Takeout always ready quick and tastes great. I recommend the pork fried rice. There are two websites for some reason but they both work for online ordering.
Really good Pad Thai here. Lemongrass was delicious!

my friend got the Pho Tai Bo Vien and got food poisoning from the meat. I tried the broth and noodles and am fine, but he is not! beware. I got sautéed lemongrass chicken and it was so mid 😭 The chicken was doused in a lemongrass sauce, too sweet, and not very seasoned. the limeade is subpar as well. i got a piece of ice with random flecks of black? we also got the special cream cheese wontons, which were too thin for my taste. my friend thought they were good though.
random note, the fortune cookies have stake (gambling site) ads on them. i’ve never seen ads on fortunate cookies before, it was interesting
food aside, the restaurant itself is cute. it has a greenhouse eating area and a huge spoon as decoration. there’s also free parking.
if you’re taking the 30 bus here, you can kiss an hour of your day goodbye. it was around 5pm and the bus was so delayed. when it came, the driver told me not to get on because she was going to change route… right…
to end on a good note, the Ca Phe was delicious. My friend says, “the coffee was five stars, legit.”

The pork tasted off as well as the meatballs. The steamed dumplings had decent flavoring, but the dough was thick and blegh. My stomach started to churn almost immediately. Food was quick to arrive, but that was the only good part.

I decided to try this place despite the reviews. Big mistake.

Was skeptical because none of my friends really ever talked about the place and the reviews seemed mixed. There's a sign mentioning that they updated their pho recipe, and whatever they did to it, it must've been a huge improvement because much better than I expected. The broth has a really authentic aroma that sometimes other places tend to skimp out on. They could improve their noodles as it's a bit on the spongier side, but the broth makes up for it. The toppings are adequate (they have basil now) and the meat proportions are great. The seating can be a bit cold in the winter, so be aware of that. Other than that, I'd def hit up the spot again, maybe when it's not so cold outside.

I have ordered from here before and the food is pretty good. This time though they messed up 2 out of the 4 orders. I asked for veggi eggrolls and vegetarian fried rice. Itbua busy Friday evening and I waited for about 30 minutes. When I got home, I realized they gave me fresh vegetarian spring rolls, and vegetarian fried rice with eggs! I'm sorry but I do not consider eggs vegetarian. My husband who is a strict vegetarian ended up not eating his fried rice and only had the spring rolls which was disappointing. If you order take out do double check your orders.
