Its closed down.

The first time I bit into the pork belly dish here, I told my husband if I am ever feeling sad, take me to Union Hmong. All will be well again! OMG. LOVEEEE this place.

Spectacular

Wonderful staff, wonderful food. Grateful and happy to catch this place!

A Minneapolis gem! I personally wish there was a spicier option on the menu but it’s small, simple and everything’s good.

Very personal experience and most flavorful dinner! The fish was delicious!

Love the atmosphere. The server was kind and welcoming. You order, take a number and sit down. The food will be brought to you. The food was delicious. I ordered a little bit of everything to try. Ended up bringing a lot back home.

Left Union Hmong Kitchen feeling very happy and satisfied. The lychee colada was eye-openingly tasty: sweet and cold with the perfect hint of tanginess. The Hmong sausage was spiced to perfection and paired deliciously with the Amazing Salad, forbidden sticky rice, taro chips, and chili oil. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Service was surprisingly fast on a Friday night. The atmosphere was spacious, bright, and inviting. It was a wonderful experience start to finish. If you haven’t been, it’s well worth a stop. They are well loved here in Uptown and I expect to be back to try more of their rotating menu. Thanks UHK!

There is ample parking in the back. Be sure to note they are closed Sunday-Tuesday at this location.

Omg, this place is definitely a 5 star. The chef (TRAVIS you are amazing) explained everything I wanted to order with detail, then he cooked it to perfection. We had taro chips, porkbelly, whole fish and hilltribe chicken leg. This was my birthday dinner and I enjoyed every bite. All the food was delicious I will definitely go back

Wow, what a delicious and subtly spicey meal! The sausage and the chips and the tofu were all fantastic! Hard to describe the flavor profile of Hmong food. So I’ll just use the word that comes to mind - delicious!

Yummy, healthy food, but would have liked to see more vegetarian options. Service was fine. You have to order at the counter, which is not my preference. But the workers were friendly. Atmosphere is ok, but not that interesting

Really awesome food - got the tofu rice bowl for lunch and they threw in some extra fermented bean sprouts one of their chefs were working on. That and the grilled tofu were exceptional. I’ve been eating more plant-based/vegetarian these days so was happy to find such a convenient option. I’m almost glad I don’t live in the twin cities because I’d probably go here for lunch way too much instead of cooking at home. ?

This dinner was a flavor explosion! If you go to Minneapolis this restaurant should be top on the list! I had the pork belly with vegetable medly, red rice and taro chips. The fresh herbs elevated the flavors to the max! Do yourself a favor and get everything you want to try and take it home for the next meal. You won't regret it!

Staff seam out of place or lacking service. The sausage was bland nothing noticeable except it was smaller and seamed to be missing another piece for that price point!? The cashier said there were two sausages! Lol smh shorted me bruh.

The tiger bite pepper sauce was lacking flavor and dulling taste buds it need not to be scared of garlic, tomatoes, ginger, color and Thai chilies lol. The medley salad and picked greens were a delightful with slight char! Perhaps adding a side of steam cabbage vermicelli pork/ veg roll would offer a balanced component… like egg meat loaf or fried shrimp bean curd in com tam platters.

Atmosphere has potential but needs to be brighter inside it lacks a trendy vibe. Most dishes fall short of their price points mine being $25 with employee wellness tax. At the very least consider more of what the dish entails vs side garnishes. Poor impressions aren’t everlasting…Maybe next year.
