Last fall I had an amazing Papaya Salad at a food court in St. Paul at The Hmong Village mall. I…read morehave been craving it ever since and for my birthday lunch this week I drove across the metro to this Lao restaurant to satisfy my craving. Khop Jai Der is a very small place with tables crowded together that made it difficult to navigate with my current and temporary situation of using crutches. I ordered the Papaya Salad and asked for moderate spice level. What I received looked nothing like my last fantastic salad. Very little sauce, a skimpy amount of papaya, pieces of cabbage that were way too large and a spice level that was way over-board. The female that brought my dish ignored me for the rest of my lunch even though she was sitting at the table next to me talking to her friends. I never got a water refill that I desperately needed and had to get up and maneuver my way to the restroom for napkins after deleting the two at the table because of severe sinus drain. I finally took 70% of my meal to the register and asked for a to-go box. I showed my Hmong co-worker the next day and he agreed that this was not the place to get what I craved. He brought me a homemade bowl of the greatest papaya salad for my lunch today so I finally did find redemption, but it wasn't from KJD. With an almost inedible $20+ lunch, inadequate and dismissive service while my digestive tract was on fire and a claustrophobic environment, I can't find a reason to recommend this place. The biggest let down that I've had in a very long time.

This place knocked it out of the park and loved that it's locally owned and ran by two women!

We thought we would try out a new pho restaurant, and while the flavors of our meal were very good,…read morewe're not sure that we would return. We did enjoy the shrimp, spring rolls, but were slightly disappointed that the peanut sauce was very watery. The menu had a good variety, but most of the dishes involved pork, very few involved chicken. Tofu dishes were also an option. The chicken pad Thai was very tasty; rather than cooking the dish to a persons heat specification, they just provide extra chili powder on the plate if you wanted to make it spicier. The main reason for the low review would be the cleanliness of the restaurant. On the table were a variety of spices and sauces in various containers, but they didn't look like they had been cleaned or changed in several uses, so we did not use or investigate to know exactly what things were.

Pho Vietnam has been under new ownership for the past few years, and let me tell you--this place is…read morea total game changer. If you're looking for truly authentic Vietnamese and Lao food, this is hands-down the spot. If you've been here in the past and didn't have the best experience, you NEED to come back. The flavors are bold, traditional, and rooted in real Southeast Asian cuisine--nothing watered down. Our top go tos included: * Pho * Lao Pho * Bánh Mì * Thum (Lao style) * Kao Piek * Lao Sausage Every single dish was a hit--fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can taste the authenticity in every bite. I'm already excited to come back and try even more from the menu. This is the kind of place you tell your friends about. Highly recommend. Side note - Me and my family have eaten here over two handful of times and I've never had any issues with seeing any bugs rodents or odor... So it surprises me that these other people leaving these reviews have had these types of encounters... Because I would never eat an establishment like that. I trust pho Vietnam and that's why I eat here.

I got the beef pho my husband got the beef Bulgogi. The pho is delicious massive portions with amazing flavor, perfectly cooked noodles and delicious tender cuts of meat. I feel like most people are coming here for the pho. I tried his Bulgogi. It was just as delicious very tender. You can definitely taste all of the flavors in it. It came with rice and some kimchi. Also cooked perfectly, and the kimchi was punchy and crunchy. Every other time that we have visited here, we have gotten the pho. I've also tried the chicken. It's just as a delicious. I know this place has won some awards for its food and I can see why. I did recently try some crab Rangoon's. They were delicious as well not too greasy just the perfect crunch and flavor I come here about twice a month and I will continue to do that because the quality and the price is perfect.

The reason for 3/5- I am so disappointed. Out of all the times that I have eaten here I have never…read morebeen disappointed. I usually come here for dim sum, and it is upsetting for me to say that my husband and I should've chose somewhere else to eat for dinner. For dinner, we ordered fried rice and chow fun. Those two main entrées were okay. You can't really mess up those two fillers at an Asian restaurant. We ordered scallion pancakes- they came out soggy and soft. Not even crispy like how they usually are. The flavor wasn't there either. If I wanted microwaved scallion pancakes, then I would've bought them from the store and made them myself. My husband ordered the short ribs- they were bland and tough like rubber. It had a funky taste to it that he couldn't describe and he had to force himself to swallow it because he didn't want food to go to waste. I ordered the chicken feet- this is one of dim sum's signature dishes and I am so upset I didn't even get to enjoy one of the dishes I always order. It was dry and the flavor wasn't there. The service was fantastic. They checked in on us and made sure our water was filled. The timing of the food coming in and out was fine. The ambiance was inviting. There was a sense of urgency and I appreciated that.

The first thing that I noticed as I approached the restaurant was the exterior. The lights on the…read moreoutside, the odd plant set out, the lettering on the glass, all of it emitted a sense of sophistication. Artistic. If I'm to be honest, it felt like it would be expensive (it was not). Then, as I walked in, I realized the interior was even better. It is a "you have to see it to understand" type of experience. From the elegant dishes to the tables and chairs, everything fit together perfectly. It was exquisite. At this point some might say I am embellishing. They may point out nitpicked flaws. These people are those who think art must be perfect and forget nothing ever is. I digress, I'm sure you wish for me to get to food, service, and price. The food was amazing. I ordered the Tiger Cry Beef and the second the perfectly cooked, marinated, meat hit my tongue I wanted to weep. It was succulent, tender, and packed with flavor. The noodles (I had substituted) were cooked just right and the service was great. Everyone greeted me with respect and, dare I say, great cheer. They were professionally charming and warm. All of this felt as if I had found myself, quite by accident, in an upscale restaurant where every bite would cost me a fortune...yet that was not the case. The price, maybe slightly above average, was worth every penny I paid. From the beginning to the end it was an unexpected amazing experience. I recommend coming here, especially if you have a first date or anniversary. It was excellent.

The pad Thai noodles all stuck together and very little chicken for almost $20. The other dish had more meat (beef). But needed more veggies.

Portions were fair, but won't be going to Pad Thai restaurant again with other better choices in the area. I'm
