Proteins all served at correct doneness in the Pho Dac Biet so you get the tougher cuts well done and rendered and the thin steak raw so it cooks in the broth. Great side accompaniments, Thai basil still on the stalk and living, fresh bean sprouts, Sri Racha and chiles in oil depending on your tastes, squirt bottle of hoisin. The only tiny nitpick I have is I wish they had bigger spoons available for those of us who like to mix sauces and soup in the spoon instead of muddying up the bowl. Also Vietnamese coffee is prepared old fashioned, not in a boba cup where you can't tell if it was made just now or weeks ago. Great service. This is a tiny little joint which is exactly what you expect from a world class Pho place.

I gave Trieu Chau another try…read more I got the pho tai gan. I prefer savory pho, and their broth was sweet so I added in a lot of sriracha and fish sauce. I liked it much more. The flank steak was good and the tendons were very chewy and tough. I couldn't eat any of the them, unfortunately. The service was good and I like how it's a mom and pop restaurant. I just don't like Viet food sweet unless it's dessert.

I ordered the regular size bun bo hue $14? Wontons $9 and my friend got P1 Pho w all the toppings…read more The portions are huge with a lot of meat. Cream cheese wontons were crunchy and full of filling with the super delicious sweet sour sauce. Everything was soo GOOD. I highly recommend if you haven't checked out this dime of a place. I broke my limeade drink by piercing the straw through it too hard and the server immediately came to my table and replaced my drink without even me asking. So GREAT and QUICK service. My first time here and it did not disappoint. I will be back to try other dishes, or maybe the bun bo hue again bc it was unforgettable. The spicy meaty broth. The tender faking off the bones meat chunks. I loved and devoured the noodle soup as fast as I could. 10/10 highly recommend!!!

We did a really good job mainly ordering off the Happy Hour menu-I recommend the 5 spice wings, State Fair cheese wontons, spring rolls, dumplings, egg rolls and off the main menu the white sangria and the special fried rice.

Holy moly! Thanks iPho for being closed on Monday's. Otherwise I would never have found this place!…read moreIt's a hole in the wall kiddy corner from the Bankok Thai Deli in a quieter part of University. Two old ladies hold down the front. When I saw a giant bowl of Bue Bo Hue at the next table, I had to order it. And the old ladies kill it with their great hospitality. So this happens to be the best bowl of BBH in Frogtown! It's not an exaggeration. The broth is deep in flavor and very satifying, with Copious portions of meat. I'll have to try other dishes next time, but I don't know...sometimes when you find a good thing it's hard to switch... There is a small lot adjacent to the building. When you come, expect the typical old school Vietnamese Pho xxx (numbers like '76 '79 etc) vibes. This is NOT a trendy place lol. But the food!

I liked that it was light yet flavorful. The Hainan chicken was basic and kind of disappointing. It's good for boiled chicken with fish sauce, which I do like eating together, but the rice was just regular white rice. Lastly, the chicken wings were crispy, but too salty. After trying so many dishes, I think Ai Hue has the most homey Vietnamese food I've had in MN. I love coming here because the owner is so kind and patient, and she told me her mom started the restaurant in 1998!

Hole in the wall on University Ave, Pho Ca Dao is a no frills Pho spot with a simple menu and…read morebarebones service. However despite what people say I think it is too pricey for the food and service that you get. You go in and take a seat, eat your food, then walk up to the cash register on the left side of the restaurant when you're done. Oh and it's cash only, no check or credit card here. So I had the House Special #2 Pho whoch included beef steak, flank, tripe, and meatball for $13.95. I also ordered a side of egg rolls for $4. And the Bubble tea for about $4. I'm not sure why the price all of thar somehow became $26 which annoyed me that the fees weren't transparent. Pho: 9/10 Solid option and the broth was rich and flavorful, noodles were thin and tasted great. They gave lots of meat and honestly makes the trip here Egg Rolls: 8/10 Crispy and delicious, my obly gripe is that the sauce that I got was kinda mid. Must have just been old sauce because the flavor wasn't there. Bubble Tea: 7/10 More like dessert and a slushie texture so keep thar in mind. The taro is fine but not something I'd go out my way for. Now despite expecting hold in the wall prices, Pho Ca Dao is pricier than expected. I could compare to Lotus which I had a month ago for about the same price but they provided a far larger portion of sides including chicken wings compared to here, not to mention superior service. Overall if you're in the area I guess this works but note there are better Pho options.

I love this place. It's entirely unassuming, no frills, only serves pho. The steak and chicken pho…read moreis the way to go, served hot and fast. Doctor it up with the bean sprouts, thai basil, jalapeno and lime that served on the side, and maybe an extra touch of hoisin and Sriracha. It's a steal for a quality pho. Service is as unassuming as the spot. Don't expect to be checked in on, water refills, etc. You'll eat happily in peace and pay cash as register on the way out.

Its been a few years, but I remembered that I loved their pho broth, and when I tried out their Special Pho, it did not disappoint! Its a bit pricey, but you also get a huge bowl. I can eat a good amount, but I was struggling to finish everything. Easily could split between two if you wanted. Service was quick. I arrived on a weekday evening and was seated fast and got my food quick as well.

Overall - very average!…read more came in & were seated quickly even with it being busy - put our order in relatively fast! Service wise - it feels very much like they want you in and then they want you out. besides paying, we never saw our waitress after putting in our order & she told us if we need her to ring the button on the wall which felt, odd? For a small restaurant? overall - food was good! had truffle fries (crispy, flavored well) & ribeye pho (meat was a little fattier than normal, but it was flavorful. broth was rich & warm) also - so stinky inside. And I've been to a lot of pho restaurants and never had that issue but it smelled musty (it was raining outside so not sure if that played into it but WHEW)
