After my first time at Pho 79/Caravelle, this place immediately became my favorite comfort food restaurant. Not only do I get my food faster than the McDonalds down the street, but it's delicious and the portions last me 3 meals. I thought I didn't like cream cheese wontons until I went here, but now they're my go-to order. The woman who serves us has always been very nice and welcoming. She's never gotten our order wrong, and we've eaten here a LOT. The building itself is cozy, quiet, and smells of delicious food. I've since moved out of Minneapolis, but my partner and I will always come back here when we visit. read more

After a night out, Caravelle was the right call for a large group meal! Great place to take the family and have warm Vietnamese food. Staff was so kind and accommodating to our group of 20+ read more

The food here is always excellent. Very tasty, served hot and fresh from the kitchen with delicious sauces and wonderful flavor. Good sized portions as well. it's been my favorite place for at least the last 13 years. Delicious!!!!! read more

First time back since the COVID pandemic hit. Food is still as good as prior to COVID but prices are bit more now. Two entrees and three appetizers is $60 without tips and so on tips is a little over $70. Service was quick and friendly. It was not very busy. read more

Caravelle Restaurant - Sesame Chicken combo pork eggroll and fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Caravelle is a slightly grimy hole-in-the-wall run by a bunch of friendly women. The menu is Vietnamese and Chinese and the prices are high, but the portions are huge. The vegetarian egg rolls ($5 for two) are pretty good---oily, crispy and savory on the inside. The five spice tofu ($15) is a bunch of fried tofu cubes with shards of onion in a semi-spicy dry seasoning. It's not bad, but will be boring if it's the only thing you order. The kung pao tofu ($14) is a greasy mess of oozing fried tofu, diced water chestnuts, bamboo shoot and peanuts. It's way too oily and left oil slime on my plate. That said, it doesn't taste terrible. The curry tofu ($14) is flavorful but also oily. Every time I've ordered, they tend to be 10-15 minutes behind the predicted pickup time. If you want better Vietnamese food, check out Jasmine 26, My Huong or Quang on Nicollet; if you want better Chinese, Rainbow on Nicollet is decent and so is Szechuan Spice on Lyndale. Caravelle will never be at the top of my list, but it's good for un-fussy comfort food purposes. read more

Every time I'm craving Canh chua cá and the 5 spice squid (with added tofu), I would go to caravelle. I think Caravelle, is one of the few restaurants that serve traditional Vietnamese family dishes like canh chua cá, and cá kho tộ. Food is consistently good. The pho had plenty of meat and not overkilled with noodles. Service is typical of any Asian women run shops. They cut to the chase and are quick and efficient. Some ppl may think it's not friendly but that's Vietnamese women lol. They know what they want and expect you to as well so if you're quick with your order then they'll speed away and be back with your plating and food in no time. read more

Fantastic authentic Vietnamese, Thai and Chinese food. We were quite impressed with everything we ate, including egg rolls, egg foo yung, sesame chicken, fried rice and chicken with Broccoli. There were plenty of leftovers for the next day. Seems family owned and operated. I would highly recommend the food and service. The restaurant could use some updating. read more

My guy and I wanted to dine out with my mom this weekend. Mom was craving sweet and sour soup and claypot catfish, two childhood favorites I grew up with mom making at least once every two weeks, so we came here. We found both as part of the four-person set dinner meal ($43.99 as of Oct 2017), so we ordered that to share. Meal options: APPETIZER: 6 egg rolls or 4 spring rolls SOUP: Sweet and sour soup with choice of catfish or shrimp PROTEIN: Claypot catfish, no choice SAUTÉ: Mustard greens with choice of tofu, beef, or squid We grabbed spring rolls, soup with catfish, and the squid sauté options to go with the standard claypot catfish. And proceeded to wipe down our table as we always do - to find our napkins gray with grime. Has this surface been cleaned since the place opened? Peering over at the drink and dessert refrigerator, I found racks of prefilled glasses with no lids on them. Even if they were to go through all of those in a single day, I would question the sanitation level of that setup - and I highly doubt they handle that number of those specific drinks in a day. I'll pass, thanks. The spring rolls came out first. My guy and I, both goi cuon fanatics, gave the plate an odd look. The choice of char siu slices of pork, while not traditional, was fine, though I imagine the choice was more a matter of what was convenient to the restaurant than the quality of the dish, particularly given everything else about the rather awkward rolls. The ends were left completely open, leaving the components to dry out and fall out upon being handled, especially given that the lettuce was shredded - that was a first. Clearly repurposed from an already-shredded pile meant for general use. Herbs, the most pricey element, were barely present or perceptible. This was the most pathetic roll I'd picked up throughout my childhood in southern California's Little Saigon, roaming streets in Saigon proper as a fresh college grad, and in my overall travels. Given I found a pretty legit goi cuon an hour out of Chicago with barely a Vietnamese community just weeks ago, this is just sad. By time the main dishes arrived, I'd had one bite and set the roll down immediately, and my Irishman had half of a roll where he'd normally devour a plate's worth. My mom didn't bother touching a single one. Smart cookie. I can't say it got better from there. The claypot catfish was way salty. In Vietnamese cuisine, there are several home-style protein dishes made on the salty-sweet side as a matter of course to force diners to balance the stronger flavors out with much larger chopstick shovelfuls of cheap, filling rice for every morsel of meat savored, every bite of seafood taken. Given the strong savory-sweet taste, these dishes tend to be very popular with children of Vietnamese descent. I was no exception and remain a fan of these still. For both my mom and I to put the dish aside to reseason in the kitchen ourselves is pretty bad. My guy didn't even bother with it after his first nibble. The squid sauté felt out of place at a family-style meal. The cornstarch slurry was too thick, the flavors too processed. Not surprisingly, my Irishman took lead on that dish - he likes squid enough not to mind the Panda Express element and had noticed that neither mom nor I touched it once after our first taste of it. The soup was the one salvation, decently balanced. We were amused to note that the bowl was brimming with the cheaper ingredients, such as bean sprouts, and skimping on ingredients critical to the soup that happen to be pricier in the TC area. This became particularly evident when I was fishing for even one slice of the porous, spongy vegetable stem known as ba.c hà early on in the meal to have my guy try something different - to find that even with my mom and I both searching, we came up with exactly one last slice. And we were swimming in tangles of bean sprouts and tomatoes while we searched, so we definitely hadn't reached even the midway point of the meal yet. The bowl was also full of okra nubs alongside okra slices - another first. Cutting corners that much? To make the ending just as hilarious as the rest of the meal, they gave us a paper to-go box to stuff the spring rolls in. Anyone who has handled rice paper knows what happens when you shove moistened rice paper against more moistened rice paper - it tears. Add to that the shredded lettuce and you may as well rename the resulting mess "deconstructed goi cuon salad." You guys *are* running a Vietnamese restaurant with goi cuon on your menu here, right? You shouldn't need Rice Paper 101. Not that it matters. By the next morning, the shredded lettuce with its many oxidating edges had browned, and the look of the ingredients overall warned my human trash compactor of a stomach gamble. My 6-year Marine veteran with the ironclad stomach gave the three and a half remaining spring rolls a pass - right over to a underfed squirrel neighbor we'd met a few days before. read more

My heart is kind of torn. I usually come for the pho but this time it was so warm outside, I decided pho would make me extra hot so I decided to get the Chicken Garlic or Garlic Chicken off the rice menu. It failed me miserably. I have not tasted anything like it. Spring rolls were on point, my friend's vermicelli dish had no complaints, and our service was great! I'll stick to what I know-pho! read more

Place is good Vietnamese family style meals and pho. Common dishes we order are fried fish in nuoc mam, braised catfish, canh chua shrimp or fish, salt and pepper squid, shrimp egg rolls, and of course pho. I only gave 3 stars today because the service wasn't too great... and it wasn't even busy. Ate here with my kids. The server wasn't very attentive. Never refilled water and took forever to bring out the check. Gave me an old used plastic bag to pack leftovers. :( But the food was still tasty. If great service is not a big deal and just want delicious authentic Vietnamese food, this is the place to be. read more

5 star for what it is. A great place for large parties looking for good vietnamese food. Normally eaten family style, the portions are big and decently priced. The food -hot and sour catfish soup (Canh chua ca), one of the dishes they are known for and a main reason I come here. It's very flavorful with a nice balance of sweet and sour. -5 spice squid, delicious! Packed with flavor, cooked well and light crispy batter complimented by the stirfry onion makes it a must haves! -Everything else was good too! Has its own parking which is nice. I'll be back! read more

I was wrong, this is not a 2 star restaurant, I shallowly based my review on one visit to the lunch buffet, a beginning yelper mistake. Also, this is for Caravelle the Chinese restaurant, not the Vietnamese deli attached, with which it shares owners and a kitchen. I enjoyed the flavors of the Spicy Mongolian Chicken, the Chicken Stir Fry with Scallions & Onions was good, the Deep Fried Sole with Ginger Fish Sauce was a challenge but good, Catfish Cooked in Clay Pot was ok, the Sliced Pork Cooked in Special House Sauce was fatty but had a good sauce, but the Fried Jumbo Shrimp Wrapped with Wonton Skin was mediocre and their rice is clumpy. However, the Sesame Chicken is excellent. It is baked instead of deep fried like everywhere else, and this makes all the difference. It's not the chewy, oily mess of batter surrounding a tiny piece of chicken that we're all used to. read more

This is a hidden gem, went to eat here today not expecting anything really great and my sister and I both were pleasantly surprised. The mock duck dish was delicious the spring rolls were fresh and tasted great. The service was very good, prices were comparable to any other restaurant. They have two new loyal customers. read more

I mean this restaurant is good. Their serve a lot of food with normal price. And is delicious . The vegetable goes with the noodle are little bit wired(too row bitter). The sesame chicken is good 5.99$for 8pieces. But is way too sweet I could't finish them by myself.after that I feel pain in my throat(too much sugar)...but it's worth to try read more

Caravelle Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I Love this restaurants lunch buffet I come here for lunch anytime I'm in this neighborhood . The egg rolls are fantastic , they're stir-fries their soups . They continue to bring fresh food out they keep their trays replenished . Their customer service is always on points . I've been coming for at least 15 years and have no desire to stop I always leave satisfied everything is just great . It's hard to not walk in there when I'm in there area even when my money is low I'm so tempted to go . Oh now that price is very good under eight bucks so that's really nothing for what you're getting that's likely the reason I go so often . Let me not forget there Pho & their rice paper spring rolls are yummy as well . read more

My parents have been doing their taxes at the accountant upstairs of this restaurant for years. Every year after doing our taxes we come here for dinner and every time we always order the same thing. My family comes here for canh chua ca kho to, a specialty of this restaurant. This is 2 vietnamese dishes often eaten together. The canh chua (sour soup) is like a the thai dish tom yum with either shrimp or fish. Ask for it in the hot pot aka "lau" and it will come out in a flaming pot, keeping the soup warm. The soup comes out with a plate of fish sauce and how we eat it is we pick the fish out of the soup and place it on the fish sauce plate so that the fish sits in the fish sauce absorbing the flavor. The second dish in this combo is the ca kho. This is fish (most likely catfish) braised in a sweet flavoring. Eating both of these dishes with rice, and finishing it off with dousing the rice in leftover soup to sip on. Other things we usually order here is the 5 spice fried squid. AMAZING. One of my favorite calamari dishes hand down in MN. Today we also got these mini shrimp egg rolls appetizers and sometimes we get the fried sweet potato balls, both of which are good as well. Caravelle is connected to Pho 79, same owner and place, but depending on what you came for, they will sit you on different sides for less confusion. They are famous for their pho as well, but I didn't love it when I last tried it. For a unique vietnamese specialty dish, definitely come to Caravelle for the canh chua ca kho to. read more

Me and my family's first time here and we were the very first customers at opening. We ordered pho and I wanted the fire pit but it wasn't ready so I just got pho as well. Got pork with broken rice, egg rolls and the chefs special pork springrolls. The food was good and customer service was pretty good. I had to give this place 3 stars because when I went to pay I used my credit card and I don't give tips when I pay that way. I prefer to leave cash on the table. The cashier saw I put zero on there and just kind of gave me a disappointed weird look. Then she asked me if they weren't going to charge me tip on my card then am I going to leave it on the table? I said yes that was my plan and then she smiled and was happy again. I left $3 tip because honestly if you ask for your tip you shouldn't even get a tip! You didn't even deserve the $3 tip either greedy ass! read more

BEST VIETNAMESE FOOD IN THE TWIN CITIES. When my family comes to visit here, we eat here twice. My dad is SUPER picky about Vietnamese restaurants and he lauds this place to the high heavens. We have taken guests to this restaurant, and they have all agreed: the food is so good! Everything we get is reliably very delicious, from the traditional "com gia dinh" family style Vietnamese foods to the Americanized sesame chicken and fried rice. A very nice family owns Caravelle and its sister restaurant Pho 79. The matriarch still watches over the kitchen every day. If you wanna say that you can find better Vietnamese food elsewhere on Eat Street (or Minneapolis,even), you are mistaken, my friend. This is the place to go. Take it from me, a girl with 24 years experience. Some people are confused with the 2 sides, 2 restaurants, 1 space concept. I just treat it as though it is one big restaurant. All the food is the same and comes from the same place. The Caravelle side has slightly better ambience and is best for dinner with guests or dates, the Pho side is for your 11am bowl of pho with your family. RECOMMENDATIONS (STRONGLY): Canh Chua Ca Bong Lau: Cat fish tamarind soup. I have dreams about this dish. Features pineapple, taro stems, celery, tomatoes and cat fish in a hot, slightly spicy, garlicky, tangy broth. Careful, the fish has the bones. Comes with spicy fish sauce to dip the fish. Also available with chicken, but I think you need to get the catfish for the full experience. Ca Chien mam gung: Fried fish with ginger fish sauce. They feature catfish, sun fish, and walleye. I highly recommend the walleye for that local flavor. It's lightly floured, deep fried and served in a sweet fish sauce flavored with ginger. The fish sauce isn't overpowering, it is really tangy, umami and sweet. This also has bones. We Vietnamese, are not afraid of bones, can you tell? Tom Chien Ngu Vi Huong: Good sized shrimp battered and fried with Chinese Five Spice and garlic. Comes served on a bed of sauteed onions. So tasty. Ca Kho To: Catfish stewed in a Clay Pot. Catfish steaks (WITH BONES) stewed in a caramelized, garlicky, spicy sauce. It has an intense flavor that is out of this world. After you finish picking the fish off the bones, drizzle the sauce over your rice. That is Vietnamese comfort food, right there. This is a really long review. I felt compelled to write this because I saw that Caravelle only received 3 stars from Yelpers. Let me tell you, this is injustice if I ever saw it. FUN FACT: Van Son, a popular Vietnamese variety show recently filmed a performance in Minnesota. They featured some Vietnamese businesses on their DVD. Quang's down the street was one of the businesses featured. We asked the owners why Caravelle wasn't featured by Van Son. They said that the production crew and cast ate at Caravelle and ordered catering by Caravelle every day they were in town. They didn't want to pay to be advertised on the DVD because they obviously do fine without it so that is why they were not featured. Neat huh? read more

Since I probably go here once a week, why not update from more familiarity: I credit Caravelle / Pho 79 with making me a better eater, a more adventurous eater, and a more curious human, in the umpteen times I've been there. That's a pretty great thing, as restaurants go. I've adopted a "try anything and try everything" attitude because I can relax in the abilities this place has, stretching my comfort zones to both cream cheese wontons (really, people, NOT normal) and Bun Bo Hue (pig's feet, pigs blood, noodles, winter soup, soooooo freaking GOOD) ...dishes no more challenging than each other, if you think about it objectively. (The Bun Bo Hue is far better, but the cream cheese wontons are pretty solid) Every time a new thing has crossed my plate I think I have said "this is the best thing I've ever had here" The best thing there is the Five Spice Tofu. The Sole in ginger sauce. The Rib eye Pho. The Hoanh Tanh. The Special Pho. The Bun Bo Hue. The Canh Chua....or maybe... I never knew that pig's feet contain the most divine little medallions of lean pork within them. I never knew that catfish's earthiness would marry so well with black pepper and fishy deep dark fish sauce, I never knew that tripe would be so inoffensive that I don't care whether it's there or not. That tendon has some of that meltiness of pork belly or lardons, somehow. I never knew that goyisher white folks would be so averse to a whole fish. (more for meeee!) I never had bac ha stems, nor would I ever have known what a pleasing texture they have against your tongue. I never would have known this stuff, were it not for Caravelle. Whether Vietnamese food is your heritage and comfort food, or whether you're trying to decide if you like cilantro or not, there is something here which is right in your food comfort zone and your sweet spot. Do yourself a favor if this is not familiar territory and step off your instinctive path. You are in the right place. read more

This is basically the only place I eat in the twin cities. I have a grand dream of being a regular customer somewhere and maybe the staff will never admit it but I see a glimmer of recognition when I walk in- every time I have a guest visit this is where we go. Spring rolls are on point and mostly what else I get is a vermicelli bowl with curry shrimp. The service is so fast and to the point- no greetings. Just food. (: A beautiful Eat Street gem- I tell you. read more

Got delivery. Faster than estimated time, but that is the only thing good i can say. Food was limp and stale. The pork in my chow mein was either old or freezer burned. Afraid to even eat it. Large platter soggy and under seasoned. Wont call again. Not even a 1 star read more

If you want the best authentic Vietnamese in Minnesota, This is the place to go. My family is Vietnamese, and this is the only Vietnamese restaurant that they will go to. Here are my MUST have at Caravelle: Canh Ga Xa Ot: These are my favorite wings of all time! Better than any buffalo wild wing sauces. These wings usually come out straight from the kitchen, so they are hot! please be careful and not burn yourself. The mixture of sweet and spicy blends perfectly well! Lau Canh Chua Ca: This sour soup is delicioussssss, and it comes in either a firepot (Lau) or big bowl (to). I highly recommend the firepot because it keeps your soup hot throughout the meal and it looks so darn cool. Definitely pour this soup over your rice, that is how it is meant to be eaten. Ca Kho To: This dish comes in a clay pot. This is how they make it back in Nam, so it has the authentic feel. The fish is EXTREMELY packed with flavor and you won't go wrong picking this. The only downside is that there are bones in it, but totally worth eating despite that. Remember to drizzle the sauce on your rice! Tom Ram Man: This dish is shelled shrimp in a tasty sauce. Some people eat the shell, but I can't do it, so I just peel it off. I hardly see anyone ever order this, so it is truly under appreciated. I can see why though, with all the great options here. Soymilk: They homebrew their own soymilk. :) read more

I'm a sucker for a Chinese Buffet...and a good Chinese Buffet will keep me coming back time and time again. Even on the busiest of days, you can get a seat in their semi-small (for buffet standards) dining room. Amazing fried rice, cream cheese wontons, dumplings, and a rotating selection of veggies & protein keep me happy every time. If you want more than water, make sure to ask them BEFORE they leave your table when you're seated....otherwise you'll never get it. If you're looking for a slam dunk buffet on Eat Street, lunch buffet at Caravelle is a must! read more

Great food, huge proportions, reasonable prices! Worth visiting! Get the pho! Cream cheese wantons were amazing! Get there early and beat the rush! read more

Caravelle Restaurant - Such good food, great prices, and huge proportions! We'll be coming back next time we're in the area! - Chinese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This review is based on my experience with their lunch buffet: I've known about Caravelle since, oh, 1995 or so. It was one of my favorite places for Americanized Chinese buffets as well as one of my first; this place set delicious, greasy bar for my boiled-in-grease expectations. They're not a dedicated buffet, they're a restaurant with a full menu selection who also happens to have a weekday lunch buffet (11am-3:30pm). It's not a huge selection, but what they have they do very well. I'm not gonna itemize what all they have- it's the basics of that you'd expect from an Upper Midwest Chinese restaurant (egg rolls, fried rice, wantons, wings, sesame chicken, noodles, egg foo yung etc.) but I gotta say (and I have plenty of experience here) they're just a few steps ahead of your run of the mill "hibachi" buffet- they offer several of the same items, they just do it better. FRAT: It's a great place with a long history if Chinese lunch buffet is your thing. read more

I've been to Pho 79 many times in the past, and always sat on the "Pho side", but went over to Caravelle recently out of sheer confusion. Seems I'm not the only one who's never understood what the deal is with the two conjoined restaurants. The gentleman at the host station quickly summoned us to come sit down at Caravelle; I quick grabbed a menu from both restaurants at the same host station and figured it wouldn't matter where we sat, so into Caravelle we went. I hadn't had a rice noodle salad for some time and had been craving one like crazy, so I ordered their beef and curried shrimp noodle salad. When it arrived I could tell just by looking at it that it was a dumbed-down version of what I've had at Pho 79. I will say that the portion was more than ample, but who cares? I too can make a huge vat of flavorless vermicelli. I asked for mine to be made spicy, and there was literally zero spice. My friend advised me to add some sriracha. As much as I like the flavor of sriracha, it does have it's own distinct flavor of which I didn't feel like tasting throughout my dish. This day I did it anyway, seeing as how any flavor would lend help to my tasteless bowl of noodles and lettuce. I will be going back to Pho 79 to at least investigate and see if they still have a good rice noodle salad, but as for Caravelle, the best part of my meal was the mint on the way out. read more

Very authentic Vietnamese which I loved. Everything I had tasted very average or poor. Probably wouldn't come here again, you can easily find a better place just with some research. read more

Less than impressed, unidentifiable meat like chunks, lukewarm foods, limited selection. Service was friendly, quality not so much

When I get hungry for a home cooked Vietnamese meal and my mom or hubby aren't up for making it, this is my go to place. Get the special Canh Chua, a sweet and sour soup with the Thit Kho. The perfect combo of soup, veggies and lightly fattening, salted meat. For extra yumminess we add in the Salt and Pepper Squid. Careful, it is a bit salty all together and I end up drinking a ton of water the next day. However totally worth it! Also cheap wine and beer to accompany your cheat eats! read more

UMMM, PHO! I do love me some Caravelle/Pho 79 Pho. 3 meals in one you can't go wrong! Their Pho list is quite extensive but I always just go with the beef straight up and have not been disappointed, not once. Their spring rolls are also quite tasty and filling. Always fresh tasting. Other people I have dined with have gone for the fried rice and a few other non-pho dishes and everyone, including myself, always leaves happy and very satiated. The prices are low and service is solid. read more

Love the Canh Chua and Ca Kho To! Fried calamari was also very good. Went the day after New Years at lunch so it was packed but received food in a timely manner considering. read more

My co-worker claims this place has the best spring rolls! This is a place that my co-workers love, so I go with them. Decent lunch buffet, with some variety and not super greasy (for some stuff). But would I go out of my way to eat there by myself (or take my husband)? Nope. read more

A Vietnamese friend tells me Caravelle is a lot better than Quang, but I don't see it. They do have some other items, but I am apparently unable to detect the subtle nuance. It seems smaller-scale and less rushed, though. For instance, they still bring the cafe su da to the table instead of just dumping it into a plastic cup in the kitchen. Some of their soups are the best I've found in the Cities. read more

Well that sucks...it has gone under new management and it's not for the better. I Had frequent this restaurant more than 7 years. I recently left the Twin Cities and came back to order some of my favorite Vietnamese food. I knew from the moment I walked in and the service that I receive that it was a different server group. I can tell by looking around the cleanness of the restaurant had gone down from the food on the napkin holders. I ordered my salad with chicken and shrimp. When I received my salad I didn't recognize the type of meat. The older woman tried to tell me it was barbecue chicken. I've eaten only chicken and fish so I know chicken when I see chicken and I don't know what that was but it was not chicken. The older woman at that time said:well you ordered it that's what you get " well I'm not going to be OK with a mysterious meat that you're claiming was chicken. I asked her was the restaurant under new management and she said yes. And I told her I could tell unfortunately. If you have frequent this place in the past you are up for a huge disappointment with a new management the quality of service the quality of food and the cleanliness of the restaurant will make you stay away. I see it going down. Beware... read more

One of my favorite dive Vietnamese places. They own Pho 79, so you can get their soup on the restaurant side also, just ask for the other menu. They have a lunch buffet, but I order off the menu because it is heavy on chicken. You can order any of the stir-fries with mock duck. I really like their bun salad. read more

It's 8:20 pm the server in the noodle side asked if we were ordering to go... We said for here and she said "wow!" You know we close at nine... Our regular server would not have treated us this poorly, we will not be back any time soon ... We were not welcome tonight at all even though we tip like 30% smh read more

Good food, reasonable prices. Good Vietnamese and Chinese fair including tasty spring rolls. Very busy at noon on a Saturday; took a long time to get served and to check out. Parking is a chore for all restaurant and businesses at the 26th St. location in Minneapolis. This was compounded by a lot of snow on the street the day we went. There are many other restaurants nearby, so some folks call it "eat street". read more

The pho we ordered for carryout was not fresh and had a lukewarm temperature as if it had been left on the counter for an extended period of time. When we complained, the worker was less than helpful. In short, this is one of the worst experiences I have had at a restaurant both in terms of food quality and service. We enjoy pho on a regular basis but cannot recommend the offerings of this restaurant. There are better alternatives in the Twin Cities. read more

Have been here twice before, and the first time was super great. Chicken was very good, a big portion so you have leftovers for sure, bubble tea was on point. Second time I went just a few days ago, service was fine but something was definitely up with the chicken this time. It was a bit chewier than last time, but also the outside was too crispy. But I was gonna leave it be- until all of a sudden it just made me feel so heavy and left with an awkward fullness when I barely finished 1/3 of my plate. The rest of the night I felt super queasy but thought it was something on my end. The next day, went for my leftovers and the same thing happened! But the quesiness never really went away, even when I tried to sleep it off and take it easy. I was totally fine up until I ate the chicken again.. I don't know if maybe they didn't cook it enough or what. But twice in a row if you eat something and it makes you feel horrible, you don't really wanna give it a third chance. I would come back for bubble tea but be selective with your chicken choices here maybe. read more
