It never updated to ready to pick up so I arrived just before 7:45pm like the estimate said. I arrived at 7:41pm. The black guy with the attitude behind the counter cooking said that "it had been ready long ago". OH OKAY, well send the notification that it was ready when it was actually ready then lol I had put the order in & it said estimated 47 minutes. I arrived at 7:41pm .... told them my name asked if it was ready... I get home & I get a notification stamped at 7:41pm that it was ready. COLD COLD COLD. Onions so burnt up. The cheesesteak was too cheesy da fudge it was mush. I tossed it all out in the garbage. This entire establishment is a disaster. I wish KEYS CAFE would buy the whole bldg at least we'd be assured quality food & actual real service!!!

We were at Wandering Leaf Brewing when we noticed someone nearby eating food that looked…read moreincredible. After asking where it was from, we found out it was Soul Lao. We ordered on the spot, and it ended up being one of the best decisions of the day. The mango sticky rice was the standout--perfectly sweet, creamy, and easily one of the best I've had. The crispy pork belly had an amazing crunch while staying tender inside, and the wings were juicy and packed with flavor. If you order either, don't skip the fish habanero sauce. It adds the perfect balance of heat, tanginess, and flavor without overpowering the food. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and it paired perfectly with a beer next door. If you're at Wandering Leaf (or anywhere nearby), do yourself a favor and order from Soul Lao. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Kitchen and cashier were extremely friendly and hospitable. Ordered - Crispy Pork Belly (4.5/5). Probably my favorite dish. It can stand on its own, was very favorable, crunchy and had a good meat to fat ratio leaving you wanting more - Duck Noodles (4/5). Flavor profile was a good balance of sweet and salty. Good but nothing memorable - OG Wings (4.5/5). Always fun to see other places try this dish. Last few years the rise of fish sauce coated wings has been a hit which is awesome since my mom's been doing it for decades. Packed a 1,2 punch. A bit salty so make sure you chase it with rice Food was by in large great and if you're expecting fusion then this is what you will find. Price is a bit steep ($25 roughly per dish) so you be checking your Apple location to figure out why you're paying NYC prices in MN ha :)

I've been to the brick and mortar Jake's in Eagan several times and liked the menu (need to get my…read morereview in). So when I saw their food truck while taking in the Super Bowl hoopla on the Nicollet Mall last Saturday I swung by. The Prime Rib Dip I ended up ordering was a messy but very tasty and filling sandwich. Served with seasoned fries, it hit the spot. For $15.99, it's certainly on the high side for a sandwich. But it was top notch. The odd thing was they offered no beverages. On a cold, blustery day I would have loved a hot cuppa coffee with my lunch.

At first, I was a bit reluctant to order from a food truck that has pretty much every type of typical street food, but the aromas that bellowed out of their kitchen pulled me in like a tractor beam. I was also sort of tipsy. I'm also chubby, And when it comes to food, I thirst for good eats like Pepe Le Pew when he looks for that female skunk. I ordered a pair of cod tacos and mini burgers with small fries. One order would be for my intern. I think I'm sort of nice. *Mini Burgers: PERFECTLY SALTED and packed full of juicy flavors. Ugh, I was totally caught off guard as to how awesome they were. The fries were also nicely flavored and well fried. (I think total it was something like $7? $9?) I didn't have the tacos, but they were beautifully presented, and I almost shed a tear as I handed them to my intern. Damn it, I wish I ordered a pair just for myself. The people serving were also super friendly. No complaints. My food came out fast, too. If I'm ever at an event or in Downtown Minneapolis, I'll be sure to leap at another opportunity to eat at Jake's Street Grille. The only suggestion I have is that I thought the portions were a bit too small, considering the prices. Won't stop me from getting more food from there, though!

It's definitely a tucked away…read moreplace and I would give yourself time for parking/walking over because it was slightly trickier than expected with the varied parking signs nearby. We made a reservation in advance but didn't need to make it too far in advance which was nice. To start, we ordered some wine. It felt like a nicely curated selection and each of us enjoyed our wines. When we visited there weren't any cocktail options on the menu so that was the only thing that felt slightly missing, but they still had a nice selection of wine, beer, ciders, and sakes. The food was so so solid. To be a place that does veg options equal to/even better than the meat options is incredibly impressive to me. Everything we tried was well balanced flavor wise. We split the lettuce wraps which were a great shareable starter. I wish we had gotten the wontons because those looked great! We shared a tofu noodle salad, the tofu jicama sticky ribs, and the chicken sandwich. Each of these in my opinion are must orders. My favorite of these were the sticky ribs. Truly probably the best tofu dish I've ever had. Look forward to coming back-I would recommend this to anyone.

I get the same thing - fried vegetarian rice and the chili crunch on the side. I usually order one to go and get chili crunch on the side as well. They didn't have any seating outdoors so we got a to go order. Usually their staff is receptive and a little brusque but efficient and accurate. Today, the person who I encountered seemed incompetent - she kept telling me, ok so you want the friend rice with pork, vegetarian? And I kept saying yes but just to make sure, no pork and had to have her repeat it twice. Then she forgot my chicken sandwich and we had to wait. To top it off, there was a miscommunication about the chili crunch and they just added more to my dish and the chef, who in the past seemed like a good guy but maybe has just gotten too busy, told my husband they don't give the chili crunch out in small containers which is weird because I've always ordered it that way and argued with him. My mouth is on fire because they added extra chili crunch to my rice rather than added it on the side as I requested and it is inedible. I'm a bit bummed because we drove 30m to pick up dinner. Probably won't be back anytime soon, which is a bummer as this place used to be a staple for us.

It was was a nice surprise that the line was manageable. The egg rolls were reasonably priced. We got three good-sized rolls for $10. The dipping sauce was easy to grab and tasted great.

I especially like the noodles mixed in with the pork and veggies. 10/10 would get again.

Cuban Quesadilla: a unique play on the traditional Cuban sandwich. Although we love their tacos, it is not the only food they serve. They rotate their menu, but there are crab cakes, sandwiches, and other tacos! Keep an eye out for their food truck or check out their website for their list of events. You won't be disappointed.

A relative newcomer to the food truck scene, I can see Tiki Tim's making a name for themselves in…read morewhat has become a pretty big sea of mobile dining options. As evidenced by the name, Tiki Tim's focuses mainly on island inspired cuisine (save for the fried pickles). Their menu is fairly modest in size, comprised of Tiki (shrimp and crab) cakes, fish tacos, a Hawaiian influenced pulled pork sandwich and a smattering of side dishes. While the choices are limited, they've all been quite good. The fish tacos are the highlight for me, with generous pieces of crispy and not-too-greasy fish, but you really can't wrong with anything (bring a knife and fork for the pork sandwich). The converted big blue Chevy is easy to spot on the streets, the service is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Given that we're about as far from the coasts as possible and a long haul from Hawaii, it's nice to see someone aspiring to bring the tropical mindset to the streets of the Twin Cities.
