    1st time back since renovation. Nice new dine-in seating area. My almost 4-year old loved the pho and told me the night we went that he wants to go back soon and bring his dad and brother.

    Probably one of my favorite Vietnamese food places within the Twin Cities area, if not my favorite, and the entire vibe, which is definitely hole in the wall, allows one to know that their food has got to be good. While I have only ordered a few items from them so far, I have found them all to be great and worth a try for sure. Everything ranging from the spring rolls, which had an abundant amount of items including pork and shrimp, to the bun bo hue had been authentically on point. The bun bo hue was probably the spiciest one I have had anywhere, and it contained a good amount of flavor. I was given a lot of meat of various types in it, including the kinds of pork that I didn't eat. I still appreciated the courtesy, though, despite not eating it. The pho wasn't in a large bowl, but the bowl itself was filled with all kinds of ingredients from meat to noodles, and of course, had broth that contained an abundant amount of flavor. Towards the end, I was also given free Ferrero Rochers, which I also appreciated. I have been here several times and the chocolate wasn't a guarantee every time, so just a heads up there, but it's okay since I wasn't expecting them to begin with. Apparently they had a lot of Chinese food options as well, which I would love to try upon my return here!

    Awesome food the owner he is very nice guy . I will be back soon for bun Bo hue and more

    82. Beef rice vermicelli

    Compact Viet- Chinese carry out. Along a strip with tight parking, this place is easily missed, but would be a fun addition if you aren't in the mood to cook. Dined in here during lunch, but not really a place to do that. It has a total of about 3 tables. Most of the orders are carry out for a good reason. 12. Special pho. I normally skipped the meatballs and order extra tendon. This broth was very meaty and flavorful. The tendons were very soft and meat tender. Would order again for sure! 82. Beef rice vermicelli I took as a take away to eat for dinner. Beef had a great flavor and a slight chew, but in the beefy way. Vegetables were crisp and the sauce not overly powering.

    Chicken pho.

    This is a fantastic little Chinese restaurant off the beaten path!

We had sesame balls as an appetizer, and several dishes for the table. Everything was extremely delicious and served super hot and fast. The table favorite was the cumin lamb, definitely try that if you stop by! Family friendly, they had high chairs and were welcoming of our little one. Come support this little restaurant and enjoy some incredible Asian food!

I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors. I do think that the Mapo Tofu should always be soft tofu rather than firm, but that's just a personal preference. The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!

So I wasn't really happy with it but it was large and meaty. The other entrée was the shrimp lo mein. The lo mein noodles had practically no flavor. I mean, they were tasteless other than noodles that were in oil. The best thing about lo mein is the lo mein sauce and this seemed to have nothing. It was, however, a very large portion of noodles and adequate amount of shrimp. So on portion size, I give them five out of five. On taste I give them a two out of five.

It's comfort food to me. I did a search on my Uber Eats app and found this dish being offered at China Garden. Yes, please! I got the following items: - Steamed pork dumplings (8) - Beef ho fun - Thai milk tea I went with delivery. It was free and it's a treat to me. I normally fetch my takeout orders. It didn't take long for my food to arrive at my hotel room's doorstep. I asked that the driver leave it there and knock on my door before leaving. It's like getting a gift, except that you know what it is. I started with the steamed pork dumplings. They were yummy. They were handmade. The wrappers securely held the pork filling. The filling was yummy and generous. The dipping sauce paired perfectly with the dumplings. The beef ho fun was a massive portion. The beef slices were tender and full of flavour. I loved the green onions, bean sprouts, and onions. The wok sear on everything was excellent. The noodles were fresh and chewy. The sauce coated everything perfectly. The only downside was that it was on the oily side. I need to make a note to ask that this dish be prepared with less oil. Otherwise, I was impressed. It was yummy and authentic. I had Thai iced tea to wash everything down. It was excellent. I'd get it again. I got a couple of fortune cookies. They were a nice, crunchy end to my meal. I had an excellent experience. The food and drink were delicious. I should dine in this eatery next time for variety. I'd definitely return for more good eats and drinks. (439)

    Well, if food, service, and ambience are the three categories I should consider in my review,…read moresuffice it to say I wish I could give them negative stars. The neon sign outside says "Dine In" and yet the woman who stands behind the Covid era plexiglass will shout at you "take out only!!" To that end, there is no service. They only take cash, (so I'm relatively certain they're not reporting all of the income on their taxes). And when I say they only take cash, I mean there's no other options. No credit card, no debit card, no Zelle, Venmo, CashApp... Nothing else. Now for the main attraction, the Food. I'm reluctant to critique anyone's artistry, but this food is shit. There is no nicer word. Relatively certain the eggrolls, the chicken tenders, all of it comes frozen and is loudly prepared on a grill. Since you can't see it being cooked, all you can hear is the metal utensil clanging loudly against the grill. All of the sauce is store-bought, prepackaged, sugary, gelatinous slop. I suppose the only nice thing I can say about this place they have free parking. Seriously, save your time and your cash. Do NOT eat here.

All the hallmarks of a solid Chinese-American restaurant. If you can stay open for as long as they have, the food has got to be right. Support this neighborhood restaurant. FYI, their parking lot is a one-way. Pros: - Good food - Reasonable prices Cons: - Cash only
