I can't believe that I haven't been to this restaurant before. It's very close to me, but I just don't remember it when I want to order takeout. That needs to change. I ordered their Szechuan style stirfry with tofu. It was really tasty, though I didn't quite pick up the such one. It almost tasted more Thai to me. Either way it was so delicious and such a generous serving. Super hot when I picked it up with a generous serving of rice. I look forward to drawing more on their menu. read more

One of my favorite local spots for takeout or to eat in. They have an elaborate menu but I always seem to go back to their chicken hotpot and drunken noodles. Service is good and food is always prepared quickly. Portions are generous and I always have leftovers. read more

Indochin is my go to lunch stop when in want to treat myself! This is also my go to pho location when I can feeling under the weather or need a soothing broth! Service here is quick and intentional. Servers always have great suggestions if you're looking to try something new! Definitely a family friendly vibe, a lot of college students or local families dine here. read more

Lunch specials are huge portions and very affordable! I also recommend their combination boat noodles if you like all the meats.

We had the best late lunch here on Labor Day. Menu is very diverse with items from Vietnam, Thailand, China, and Laos and more. Huge portions of delicious fresh foods with herbs and excellent sauces. Prompt and friendly service. Food came fast. We were delighted to hear conversation and laughter from the kitchen, like a multi-gen family telling stories and the news read more

My kids and I have tried this place twice and the service and pho have been consistently to our liking. I also suggest the pork egg rolls. The dining area is on the smaller size but we always see others eating or grabbing takeout and the decor always gives my kids something to talk about. I am looking forward to trying the drunken noodles on my next visit and will try to update my review to include my feedback on that dish. read more

Indochin is my favorite spot to get pho in the cities, I have been coming here for years. This is now unfortunately the third time I have come to eat and the restaurant has been unexpectedly closed on a random day, completely disregarding the posted business hours. I no longer live in St. Paul and commuted 30 minutes while sick to pick up some much needed pho just to find indochin closed with no warning whatsoever. Can the business explain this? I have a certain level of grace for emergency situations and needing to close things down unexpectedly, but am finding difficultly to excuse this happening consistently. I usually don't find it necessary to call a restaurant on a Saturday to make sure they're open but I suppose this is just what needs to happen here now. read more

I wasn't feeling great, a cold was knocking on my door wanting to get in an wreak havoc on my sunny disposition. It was time to call out for help and we called Indochin Vietnamese Restaurant for 2 bowls of Beef Pho. Nothing feels or tastes better when you are sick than a big bowl of hot soup. Pho has become my personal preference over chicken noodle. I think it is the combination of spices, noodles, meat and the customization that has secured Pho as my favorite. Indochin's Pho was excellent. Very fresh ingredients, high quality beef and most importantly - a delicious and soothing broth. We had takeout which is typically not on par with eat-in but my energy level said stay home. I was very pleased with my big bowl of Pho, customized to my liking, a bit of spice to help open up the sinuses and a comfy spot on the couch made for a perfect evening at home. I would definitely order Pho from Indochin again and I look forward to eating in at their restaurant and trying more of their menu. read more

Food is decent. Wish the broth had some more flavor, almost tastes watered down. And Portions could be bigger for the cost. This place is on the expensive side. Also to add, I order the beef pho and it came raw. I've experienced this times before at places and have been told that the "hot" broth cooks the meat while it's in the bowl, but it in fact it does not and is still raw. Also ruins broth and taste when you add the meat in there raw. If need to be cooked, they should add cooked beef in there already. A bowl of pho to waste Good chicken wings and egg rolls as all ways. Just wish they paid more attention to detail read more

Outstanding service and soup!! Last minute decision to get some wonton soup 10 minutes before they closed for the night. My initial thought was that the staff would be upset with a walk in order, however, the customer service was kind and considerate! The wonton soup was made fresh and hot - not greasy at all. My sore throat was instantly soothed with the spices and pure perfection of taste. It was so yummy that I didn't even get a photo of it and managed to eat the entire large $11 bin solo. Woops! Please support this business. I can't wait to come back again to get more food! Lovely experience all around. read more

Indochin Vietnamese Restaurant - P5. Combo Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

This is a cute little restaurant on the edge of Grand Ave. My mom & I were visiting a brownie shop nearby and stopped in here for dinner. Now, we are extremely Scandinavian. My mom barely seasons her food with salt, so it's always a little stressful for her at new Asian restaurants due to the spice level, but I digress. The menus here are quite extensive. Want pho? Sure. Stir fry or chow mein? Done. Thai food? Absolutely. You can have a bland food palette or yearn for something authentic and both can be satisfied here. My mom ordered a chicken stir fry which came with pea pods, broccoli, and bell peppers (and chicken of course) with rice on the side. I ordered shrimp pad Thai. They have all meat options available for every dish (mock duck, tofu, chicken, pork, steak, shrimp and a few others). Shrimp was always the most expensive, with mock duck and tofu being the cheapest. The food was amazing. The pad Thai was different from what I was used to- it was more saucey, which is fine by me, but didn't have the typical crunch of any added peanuts. This was fine, but just an observation. The pad Thai has mild spice but you can always add more. The food was great but I should also note the atmosphere. It's very dim lighting (we arrived around 6:15pm and because this is winter, it was already dark outside) but it was atmospheric, I liked it. I would definitely visit again. I was told their chicken lo mein is the best in the city, so give it a go if you're in the area. read more

In this day and age, a Vietnamese restaurant that does not have vegan broth for their soups is out of touch. Unfortunately I won't be back.

Good service..great flavorful food. Huge portions. Maybe offer half portions. Hot and sour soup was amazing. Will be back. read more

Sleek and upkept decor with excellent service on a slower evening. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Server was able to navigate allergies and accommodate us well. The ramen broth was flavorful and filling the steamed buns are a must. read more

Indochin did the job the other night when I was craving pho and my usual place was closed. I ordered tofu pho and fresh spring rolls. The pho was good, no complaints there. Pretty standard. The spring rolls were HUGE but only contained shredded lettuce, noodles, and shrimp (usually there is pork too but I opted out). No herbs or other vegetables. Some people might not like that but I actually did and it paired well with their homemade dipping sauce. I will probably order again! read more

I sometimes forget about this place because it's modestly tucked at the West end of a commercial corridor that has a lot of activity stealing the attention on the East end. Also, it's right across the street from my old Junior High School, which doesn't usually make me think of delicious food. We decided to go to Indochin on a Sunday because we wanted pho, but also to avoid the busy lunch rush on University Avenue (which isn't too far away, but is more convenient for us). I am SO HAPPY we made this decision. We started with veggie eggrolls - they came out hot, crispy and just the right level of flavor... as opposed to eggrolls that are luke warm, oily and bland. (you know what I'm talking about). My partner got the Seafood Pho, which had a perfect broth. It was complex with layers of flavor. You could taste the star anise and other notes of spice that some pho places miss. It also had a generous amount of green onions and cilantro floating on the top of the soup. I didn't love their fish balls, but with everything else being 5 star it was fine with me! I got the Steamed Rice in Earthen Pot with Chicken, Shrimp and Pork. O.M.GOODNESS! This is by far one of my favorite meals now. I'm going back today for it! It's so tasty, hearty and comforting. This is the kind of dish you just want to curl up with on the sofa. The mushrooms and bamboo shoots give it texture and flavors that just don't stop! My favorite part though is how the earthen pot crisps up the rice for an extra crunch (may not be the best for sensitive teeth), but if you're like me and love that crunch - this is it! The waitress was also attentive and welcoming. What more can you ask for? read more

My local go to place for now! The beef broth for their chicken pho is so delicious. I have brought my father here and he enjoyed it as well. I've also tried their shrimp curry which is no joke of a serving size. Absolutely love every bite of it! Let's not forget they have my favorite, spring rolls with peanut sauce - highly recommend! read more

Pho was awesome! Service was a bit slow but food was great. We are definitely coming back to try more items on the menu! read more

Ordered the crispy egg rolls and hot&spicy soup. The egg rolls were crispy and flaky and just-right oily, pretty good overall for their crunch and flavor fillings. The soup wasn't mindblowing but it was also pretty good. Some of that might be my own disappointment (thought I ordered hot&sour soup, so my expectations were misplaced). read more

Ordered the chicken chow mein and pork fried rice. While the service was great and friendly, the food itself wasn't what we expected. I'm not sure what it was, but it was definitely not chow mein. Also it was super expensive, but that's most likely because it's on Grand Ave. Everything is crazy $$$$$$ there. read more

Chicken Pho is to die for!!! Staff is super friendly and helpful. Service is super fast and professional. I'd recommend this place to anyone who loves Vietnamese food or is a little bit adventurous. read more

Spring rolls, Singapore noodles, and Spicy Szechuan were all tasty but certainly not spicy. Even by "Minnesota spice" standards. Definitely appreciated all the fresh vegetables - good quality and quantity! Much better ratio of veggies to noodles/rice than most places, and everything tasted like it was just freshly made moments before picking up the order. My boyfriend thought the dipping sauce for the spring rolls was particularly yummy. Overall, however, didn't taste much of that spicy heat that we were hoping for. We specifically ordered these two dishes because they are described as spicy on the menu - the Singapore noodles described as "rice noodles sauteed with carrots, bean sprouts, broccoli, pea pods, eggs and onions in spicy curry seasoning" and the Spicy Szechuan as "carrots, onions, celery, water chestnut, bamboo shoots and bell pepper stir fried in spicy sauce, served with rice." I would still like to give this place another shot because everything tasted fresh and well made, but next time, will just make sure to specify the spice level when ordering and hopefully increase the stars with an updated review. read more

I'm not Vietnamese, and I don't claim to know Vietnamese food. But I am a lover of soup, and the Rare Beef Pho I had here was one of the best soups I have ever had. Ordered through pick up, so they included all the works for me to add as I pleased. Savory and hit the spot, just what I needed on a rainy day! read more

A hidden gem for authentic Vietnamese food near the Macalester / Hamline campuses in St. Paul. The place has a hipster-type feel that fits right in with the surrounding neighborhood. We entered the restaurant and were greeted with the lone wolf - a friendly lady who is the greeter, server, owner, and probably part-time cook. She even complimented on my voice and asked if I was a singer. Ha! My first impressions: - Decent selection of Vietnamese dishes (bonus - some new dishes like claypot rice bowls) -- a differentiator - Prices are ~10% higher for most dishes. A tactic that makes sense given the business model (small mom and pop shop, likely only Vietnamese restaurant on campus, etc.), but difficult to sustain due to the intense competition of Asian restaurants around the area - Expect the service to be the bottleneck during your dining experience due to the limited staff I ordered the shrimp claypot rice bowl and was super impressed! I haven't seen this dish offered at other restaurants, so I came in with little expectations. The dish was excellent! It reminded me of the bowls that I had when I was an exchange student in Hong Kong. The bottom of the rice was burnt and the slices of Chinese sausages provided that 'value add' to the dish. My cousin ordered a regular beef dish that also looked fairly appetizing. Overall, I had a good experience and will likely return to Indochin to try another dish. read more

Indochin Vietnamese Restaurant - Claypot Rice Bowl (5/5) - Vietnamese Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

How the crud have I forgotten to review this place?! This is one of my top five favorite restaurants in the city. No. 1 for Pho. This is it just "special occasion" cuisine. This is, "it's Friday, and I want to look super cultured and sophisticated when I take my hot date out" cuisine. The host knows you're looking for an awesome experience and will deliver. The kitchen will not fail to impress. I'm a fan of the combination PHO and the spring rolls. You will be too. Family owned. Super humble read more

Was in the cities this weekend, staying at my sisters house and they decided to order from Indochin for a late dinner, I thought I don't really need any food but why not! So I got the Curry with Tofu.. Perfect choice, to curry had a kick and all the veggies and tofu were cooked to the nine! Rice hit the spot too! Well prepared, it came hot as we picked it up and I woke up feeling full and full of life thanks to the meal! read more

So the Vietnamese Noodle salad with egg roll is just a blob of white noodles with a small amount of lettuce and shaved carrot. NOTHING else!! this meal is a super fail with no meat and no veg . This place has gone downhill. The egg rolls are tough. I am sad that this place is gouging and quality has changed. read more

No fork or napkin in the order. Thought I was getting egg roll, but was told lunch specials are only Monday -Friday. The mock duck was delicious. read more

I stopped by Indochin as a last minute lunch idea. The atmosphere was relaxing and clean . The mirror on one wall with bamboo plants added to the mood. We had spring rolls with a peanut Thai dipping sauce. The Com (rice dish ) was delicious and we also enjoyed the spicy chicken with vegetables! I would recommend and I'll definitely come back again ! read more

This place is amazing. The chicken was not rubbery it had a delicious crunch to it. The sauce is delicious too. This is the first time I've craved the food immediately after leaving a restaurant. Those with me also ordered the Mongolian beef and spicy cashew chicken. They loved that as well. It's going to be hard to not order the sesame chicken and instead try something else next time. The staff is very nice and attentive. We had a group of 6 and pushed two tables together. It seems that many people order takeout so even though the place is smaller it didn't seem like seating was an issue. This was surprising since it was a Friday night. Definitely recommend and would go back! read more

I love whoever created yelp! When ever I want to try a new place to eat I go to yelp first. Was looking for some late-night pho and stumbled upon this place 9 o'clock is not really late but for most Asian restaurants in the cities it is,so I was happy to find it! The eggrolls are really good nice golden fried to perfection not stingy with the ingredients on the inside and the sauce to go along with it very tasty. I also got Pho rare beef my fav!! Never had someplace to give me more meat the noodles but they did here the soup was very flavorful I would have loved to have more noodles but I ate it and it was good I might come back for those eggrolls for sure!!! read more

Yum! I tried the chicken hot pot and the rare beef pho with spring rolls. The portions were enormous and prices were low. The beef pho was flavorful and delicious. The food came out fast. Many people stopped in to pick up take out orders, but very few people were sitting in the restaurant dining on the particular weekend evening I was there. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The hood was delicious, just perfect - we even like how our car smelled from leftovers we brought home. New owners were nice and helpful w recommendations. We will be back!! read more

Indochin has solid Vietnamese food. Solid, yet unspectacular. (I haven't had anything of the Chinese menu except a solid Hot & Sour Soup). It's certainly nothing I'd drive across town for, and frankly the dozen or so times I've ordered take-out there vs driving over to University Ave is because Indochin is just down the street. That being said, it IS reliable, consistent, well-priced, and very convenient in the neighborhood read more

We had dinner there with friends on a cold Friday night. Every seat at every table was occupied for the freshly made food! Each item we ordered was delicious. The pho and an order of pork fried rice (both "mild plus" for spiciness) were outstanding and large enough for two meals. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Smells foul. Too oily. I truly believe the meat is old. I would never buy it again. They sell hot tea for $2 it's a plain green teabag in a styrofoam cup. The eggroll is horrid and nearly burnt. Chicken portion is low which is great since it's inedible -Terrible flavor. The rice isn't even half fried. Wrong in every way. read more
