“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“We thought their food was very delicious the service was great they were polite very nice place to eat. We would recommend this and we will go there again thank you so much for your hospitality. ?“
