I was so impressed by the menu at first site. They had some dishes you only find in home cooking or in Vietnam. I tried the Canh Chua and Hot Pot "Fish". I was blown away by the flavors! The textures were very close. It was a little hard to tell if I should order up at the front counter or wait for service. I did get good service when they came and waited on me. The atmosphere is quiet and inviting. I was impressed by the whole setting! By the way, excellent portions! I was given a huge bowl of rice to supplement both of my entree dishes. I can't wait to come back and bring family/friends with next time.

We ordered the juicy pork buns which were essentially pork soup dumplings. You get 6 pieces in an order. It was nice! Dumpling wrapper was nice and delicate, appropriate amount of soup in each dumpling, and filling was flavorful. It comes with a sweet soy sauce on the side but each table has their own soy sauce, black vinegar, and chili oil to customize to your liking. We also ordered the Master Noodle Beef Soup. It's indicated as "spicy" but I felt that it could be spicier so I added more chili oil. Comes with slow cooked beef and 2 giant beef ribs. Noodles are bouncy and al dente. They are generous with the amount of noodles. Soup looked spicy but I didn't think it had much heat. Nice topping of cilantro. Definitely recommend this place. Service was friendly and helpful. They came by frequently to fill our water.

The noodles were perfectly cooked and almost melted in your mouth, and the broth was incredible. Our server recommended the Mancora roll, which ended up being delicious, and the salmon tiraditos were phenomenal. Super fresh, flavorful, and beautifully done. The spicy tuna roll was really good too, but definitely has a kick, so just a heads up if you're sensitive to spice. The drinks are also a highlight. The cocktails are fun and the pisco options are a cool change from your typical menu. Service was great. Friendly, helpful, and gave solid recommendations. Parking is easy with street parking and nearby lots around Hopkins, which is always a plus.

TLDR: Food good, drinks excellent, service problematic, prices high…read more Now, let's dig in. This is NOT a review for dinner, this is a review for sitting at the bar, having some nibbles and drinks, and learning what they do and how they do it. Food: The ceviche is genuinely solid. It is not a large portion for the price point, but, the leche de tigre is a good balance of coconut, sweetness, and lime, the fish is fresh, and if you ask for it spicy, there are good hot peppers on it, The fried yuca, meh. It's OK, it's yuca, it's fried, it soaks up pisco. the sauce served with it should fall upon its sword. Drink: I really appreciated the chance to try multiple piscos, distilled from the same grape, but with different terroir. I could taste it and that was super cool. Also, I tried out the chica sour and I am modestly convinced that the sours are the way to go here, my reason for wanting to come back is those cocktails. Lovely foam, great sour/sweet/booze balance, I could drink several of these (and I SHOULDN'T, this is the suburbs and I have to drive). Service: I sat down at the bar and nobody gave me an actual MENU until the third time they asked "do you need anything?" and then I pointed out that you have to give the guest a menu if you want him to order stuff. Bro. Also, when I ask for a water without ice, maybe you shouldn't put ice in it? You know, just a thing, not a complex recipe? This is kinda remarkable bc they have 4 ppl behind the bar, at 5pm, at the time I'm typing this. This is not an understaffed establishment. Does nobody here understand basics? And finally, OK, price. Yes, I am in Hopkins, it has very wealthy white ppl, I know. But wow, I had two appetizers and two drinks and I;m in for $80? Perhaps this is reasonable bc fish, but only one of those 4 things had fish in it. I am fairly confident that we are playing the "white people don't know, charge them all the dollars" game, and I am annoyed that this means that I as brown people can't come back here reliable. That is a pity bc there is good stuff above I want to explore.

Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely continue coming back!

I keep returning to Haven Asian eatery, because I absolutely love their Vietnamese Egg Rolls and…read moretheir Spring Rolls with shrimp. Again, I wish they had a hot and sour soup. That said, this time I tried the Red Curry with chicken. I don't think I selected a spice level, but I must've gotten medium, because the spice level was absolutely perfect. The chicken was tender and not at all dry and the curry was rich and savory. Adding a couple of spoonsful of the included sticky rice made the perfect meal. Of course, I got my favorite Vietnamese egg rolls (perfectly delicious) and Spring Rolls with shrimp. For some reason the shrimp were kind of hard; they looked and tasted fresh but the texture was off. The Sweet Mango Sticky Rice was something I have looked at so many times in different restaurants but never tried and so I decided to try it here. It's slightly sweet and has lots of mangoes, but for some reason, every few bites had an odd fishy taste. It was soupier than I expected so now I need to order it elsewhere to compare.

Other dishes we ordered were the Calamari , Papaya salad & Sassy Basil. The calamari was nice & crispy. Papaya salad was Thai style so not pungent and the Sassy Basil had great flavor. We also had some Fried Rice. We will come back for sure.

Reservations can be made, but they don't have an online system for doing that, and don't take reservations until 4 pm. Also, with their busy take out orders, getting through on the phone is a point of friction they would do well to fix. That aside, the restaurant is very pleasant esthetically with colorful lights, window sunshine and a generally upscale, but friendly vibe. Prices are reasonable and the service is unfailingly great. We had their pork eggrolls, which are crispy and satisfying. My wife had the Sesame chicken which was good, but not as good as her favorite sesame chicken at Shuang Cheng restaurant in Dinky Down. My go-to is the Chicken "Slayer" stir fry which is mushrooms, peapods, carrots, bamboo shoots, and onion with a very garlicy sauce. You can opt to have a choice of proteins (or tofu or veggie only). To me, it is consistently very good. The portions are large, but neither of our leftovers were very good reheated. It would be nice to be able to get a smaller portion.

Ordered the Boujee Bene which tried to be an elevated dish of tequila flambéed shrimp ceviche on arepas topped with poached eggs and hollandaise. The arepas were actually bland masa corn cakes, so they were thick and dense with no crispness or browning. I asked the server about this and she confirmed they no longer made arepas but hadn't updated the menu. This could have been forgiven if the rest of the dish had any flavor beyond raw onion and garlic. The hollandaise had no flavor either, and they had no salsas or anything else to add other than tobacco and Chahula. The shrimp was minimal and also bland. There was a corn "salsa" (also bland) so that added some texture, but the dish overall was quite disappointing. My friend ordered the farmers table breakfast and said pancakes and Perkins were better. Maybe other meals are better, but brunch was disappointing.
