Cream Cheese Wonton
Katrina M.

Recently had the opportunity to try this place out! My friend and I got a reservation for a Wed, she booked it about a week before and the only spot left at that time was 4:30 which is right when they open. We took it! Parking was a little busy, but ended up finding something on a street a little less than one block away from the restaurant. On Wednesdays there's a farmers market in the little plaza area outside of the restaurant - this was a bit surprising but also really great because after dinner I took home some flowers and kimchi from the farmers market! The restaurant has an interesting entrance - it is down the little plaza area and up some steps. There are signs that are posted at the front street facing building door and a second door you pass as you are looking for the entrance. Both of the posted signs have clear directions on where to find the entrance. We were seated towards the middle of the restaurant next to the windows. There is lots of windows on one side providing really great light. The decor is very calm, minimal with potted plants in some of the window sills. Our server was fantastic! Very happy with great suggestions on what to order. First up - Drinks: I had the Mana 1751 True Vision Sake. It was really good, clean, crisp not too dry and paired well with everything. My friend had the Aplos - This was awesome!!!! So refreshing!!!! Next - Food!!! Cream cheese wontons: I thought they were good but I wasn't in love with them. Chili Crunch Wings - have really amazing flavor, a little spice, cooked to perfection! Although a bit messy. Sticky Jicama Ribs - very impressed with these. The texture was really great! And it tasted wonderful! They were just really unique!! Our server suggested that we order the Grilled Thick-Cut Pork Chop - and she was not wrong!!!!! It was the best thing we had!!!! The flavor was so amazing, so juicy, just really incredible. It was truly the #1 item of our dinner! I enjoyed this place and think the outdoor patio would be a nice place to sit if I came back. It was a little spendy but I would come back to try the chicken salad and noodle salad.

Fried chicken sandwich
Robert W.

I had heard a lot about Khue's since I moved to Minnesota a few years ago. After finding their permanent space in Saint Paul, I finally had the chance to try it out. I went on a weekday night with a party of 5 and a reservation and we were seated right when we arrived there. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful - we had some people in our party with dietary restrictions and the server was able to direct us to some good options for them which was super helpful. The space is super nice and much bigger than I was expecting. They are nestled in an area of Saint Paul that I had never been to but it was cool to check out. As others have mentioned, parking can be a bit tough - it was even for us on a weekday night. I ended up ordering the fried chicken sandwich which is an entree I love to order many places I go. The chicken was so incredibly crispy and crunchy, and the sandwich had a good level of seasoning and heat. The dessert we ordered - which I really apologize I cannot remember the name of - was fantastic also, nice way to cap off the night. Overall a great time, and I hope to return soon.

Interior

Found it despite the lack of sign. There is a picture of the couple at the foot of the stairs. Wine & beef so some sake mocktails. Service was attentive. The restaurant seems to be is in an old industrial space so has the industrial vibe. We went b4 attending a show & despite arriving (w/ reservations), it was quite busy for a Sunday evening. The food was elegantly presented & tasty. Will definitely return. Thru do have tables on the front porch for warmer weather.

Jicama ribs
Abby L.

We had an early dinner reservation at Khue's - it can be hard to get a reservation! The ambiance is full of greenery and feels so warm. We ordered the pork belly lettuce wraps as a starter. They're only available on Friday and Saturday but are quite seriously the perfect bite. The entrees lived up to the hype too - the pork was cooked to perfection and the jicama ribs are sticky and delicious (and might trick you into thinking you're eating meat!). We will be back!

Lettuce wraps
Emily A.

Visited 5/15/26. One of my fave dining experiences of 2026 so far. It's definitely a tucked away place 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.

Thai milk tres leches cake
Hoa N.

Service was accommodating and friendly. Nice seating area for waiting. We had ordered pork belly lettuce wrap and fried chicken wings as apps, fried chicken sandwich, fried rice and Thai milk tres leches for dessert. My favorite dish out of all the dishes we ordered is the pork belly lettuce wrap. The dipping sauce could have a little more tartness and spice. Small dining area but with the high ceilings of the warehouse style, makes it seem big and very modern. They have a nice patio. Prices are a little more than expected. Nice to try a new place in St. Paul.

Lobby area

I met up with my friend for long over due dinner. We made reservations for the patio but it looks like it was going to rain, so we asked to sit inside. The host was very accommodating and sat us inside by the bar. I never been to this side of town, building looks like a company remodel to restaurant. Looks nice and additional plants gives it a environmental friendly feeling. We ordered a variety of entrees to try. One of the dishes actually was vegetarian and was surprised how tasty it was. The Thai tea tres leche cake is delicious! Many delicious dishes, must try them all.

Cold noodle salad with the best tofu we've ever had
Tatiana A.

This place has been on our list for a long time. We finally went last night and it did not disappoint! We were lucky to get a parking space because we got there early, but we watched many people pull in and pull back out as we sat on the patio. We didn't have reservations, but we were able to walk in on a weeknight and get a table on the lovely patio. We loved how it was lit and enjoyed looking at the gorgeous mural and watching the sunset. Being vegetarians, our choices were pretty much made for us as there wasn't a ton of veg on the menu but what they did have was AMAZING. We started with the cream cheese wontons, which were I think the best we've ever had. Then the cold noodle salad with the best tofu we've ever had. It's rare that you find it cooked so perfectly, creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside. And then finally what brought us there, the famous jicama ribs, which a friend had just posted about in my socials that morning. There aren't enough words to describe these magical creatures. We eat out a lot and have had a lot of creative vegetarian food. We were blown away by these. They really did taste like something we had never had before, and we had fun trying to figure out how they made them (We did not figure it out!). We will definitely be back for these, even if they don't add more vegetarian options.

Sticky jicama ribs and Cream Cheese Wonton
Michael K.

This is my new favorite spot in the Twin Cities! St. Paul specifically is leveling up, Khue's Kitchen is an incredible addition to the neighborhood. The staff and the chef are extremely kind and welcoming. You can tell a lot of thought and love go into the making of this food. The menu is quite a bit smaller than I expected when I first came, but everything on the menu is a smashing success. I've only heard good things about this restaurant and it definitely lives up to the name. I actually ended up recommending this spot to too many friends, coworkers, and family members, I also came here on Mother's Day with my parents and they absolutely loved it. As far as food, I have tried the cream cheese wontons, the chicken sandwich (popular), the sticky jicama ribs (insanely good), and the rice noodle salad dish. Everything has been sensational thus far. The chicken sandwich has a really nice herbaceous aïoli, the sticky jicama ribs are absolutely incredible especially for anyone that is vegan or vegetarian, there are no meat products in this dish, but the flavor and texture would convince you of otherwise. It's hard to explain so I'm just telling you right now that you HAVE to try the sticky jicama ribs. This is not a drill. If you end with the Thai tea tres leches, you won't be disappointed. It is a classic tres leches with a twist, the Thai tea isn't as strong as traditional but goes perfectly with the other tres leches components. The presentation is unreal! Truly impressed by this restaurant, I will continue to come here and support this local establishment. Chef Eric Pham is so awesome to talk to, wishing them nothing but success!

JIcama ribs
Elizabeth W.

I cannot say entirely enough good things about the wonderful experience we had here. It's located in a fairly industrial area but the moment you walk in you are transported to a modern cozy dining experience. We were greeted by the chef/owner the second we walked in. We went on a Sunday night so did not need to wait for a table, but I would recommend reservations at a busier time. We were not ordering alcohol that night, so I chose a non-alcoholic beverage off the menu. To be honest, I didn't like it, but didn't want to say anything. I simply asked a question about it to the manager. And the owner brought me out a different drink that he thought I would like better. Talk about service. I ordered the jicama ribs, and they were some of the best faux meat product I've had in my life. Essentially, it was layers of tofu and jicama sliced and then pressed together and cooked. The visual and texture was very similar to meat. but it had its own flavor. I would compare it to items I've had at Buddhist monasteries in Asia. It was that good. The waiter was very attentive, but it was also wonderful having the owner come out and talk to us and other parties in the dining room. We weren't super hungry so we skipped dessert, but I definitely want to come back and try a few items on that menu as well. This is a restaurant that will make both meat eaters and vegetarian/vegan happy. My companion ordered pork and loved it, but since I didn't try it, I won't comment on it.

My food here was SO GOOD. Parking was very frustrating; they have a lot that seems to normally be fully occupied. There is street parking but I had to search far and wide and walk a few blocks to find a spot. The restaurant is inconspicuous to an annoying degree - check my pics to help spot it. But once I was in there it was just about as good as it gets. It was a nice day so I enjoyed the patio seating, but they have really nice dining rooms. Service was extremely professional and thoughtful. And my meal was just outstanding. The Cream Cheese Wontons may sound modest, but these were the best I've ever had, they were absolutely on-another-level. For my entree I got the Grilled Thick Cut Pork Chop. Perfectly prepared and full of interesting flavor. The accompanying salad looks like an unremarkable house salad but it's actually a nước mắm salad which was spicy and awesome. I just loved this meal. Ignore the charmlessness of the surrounding area and try this excellent restaurant.

Pork fried rice, Jicama ribs and chicken sandwich
Claire L.

Delicious, flavorful and innovative menu and food. Service was impeccable and attentive but not overbearing. The chicken sandwich was hard to eat with the amount of sauce but it was totally worth it. They even brought wet wipes for us after eating it. They will also cut the sandwich in half if requested for sharing but next time I'll be ordering a whole one for myself! The chicken was juicy and the breading was light and had a great crunch. The spicy jicama ribs were as delicious and flavorful as the reviews make them out to be. A bit pricey for a vegan meal but it is a must try. The texture is firm and chewy in a good way. The dish also microwaves well the next day if you take one to go. Really hard to believe there is no meat in this dish. I also wish there was a mayo to dip them in. The pork fried rice was a good but maybe not a reorder. There were many different types of pork cuts. It was yummy but was outshined by other items on the menu. The space is very chill and industrial modern with it primarily being black. Mood lighting is nice. Tables for 2 seemed a bit close together but none the less still a great experience. Limited parking in the parking lot but an abundance of free street parking .

Came here for dinner with the family to try out Khue's Kitchen, finally! Party of 8, note that half of the family are picky eaters too. Here are some of our favs! 1. Chicken salad - so light and refreshing! Get it! 2. Chicken wings - so crispy and juicy. If you don't eat spicy, remember to order it without the chili crunch. My in-laws would have eaten more if it wasn't spicy. 3. Chicken sandwich - lived up to the hype - sooo good! 4. Sticky Jicama Ribs - I didn't think I would like this dish but it ended up being my fav! Who would have thought a vegetarian dish is this good? Not me. It was crispy, savory, earthy and full of flavor. It doesn't hurt that I knew the chef & his dad from Quang's. They came out to greet us and continued to check in on us and gave us suggestions on what to order. Thank you for treating us so so well! My family and I had a great dining experience and thought the food was all very tasty! Not pictured are the savory cream cheese wontons, pork fried rice and chicken sandwich. We also loved our friendly server who knew the menu well & offered good alternatives for drinks since they only have beer & wine. Would love to see some dishes being rotated maybe seasonally and maybe change up the dessert menu. Congrats on the new beautiful space, we'll be back for sure when we are back in town!

I have been circling the Nook for a while now in my search for the best Jucy Lucy in the Twin…read moreCities. I've tried the two originals,Matt's and the 5-8, and the upstart Blue Door, among others, but we may have a winner in The Nook. First off, the atmosphere is exactly what a Nook should be: small and comfortable. The service was attentive, friendly and helpful. I noticed that was all the staff not just my server. I also appreciated the obligatory warning about the melted middle of my Lucy. Speaking of which, I tried the #7 Burger (it was recommended when I asked as it had more cheese and bacon). The Burger was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The cheese cheater exploded as a good Lucy should. A 10/10 experience. The hand-cut fried added to the experience and were a great compliment to the burger The beer was cold and refreshing, the food superb, and the staff welcoming. Not much more one can ask for. I will be back that is for sure.

There were a few people waiting so I requested downstairs while my friend parked. Jamison was our waiter and got me a beer right away. I got my juicy Lucy with extra lettuce. Burger was great but not sure that was extra lettuce. Also it wasn't really hot. And it came out without the fries. I had to ask for the fries more than once . Different people brought out food and it didn't seem coordinated. The fries finally came after I was more than 1/2 way through my burger. Cole slaw was great. Loved the ambiance downstairs with all the hanging dollar bills.
