Qué Việt became one of my staples almost immediately after moving into Minneapolis, and at this point I can't separate the restaurant from my memories of living here. I've eaten here during transitional times, settled-in-and-part-of-the-community times, with my kids, and now during those increasingly nostalgic trips back to Minnesota. Somehow Qué Việt works for all of them. I love it. My kids love it. And I genuinely have a hard time imagining going wrong here. My formula is pretty simple: get the spicy chicken, add a rice or noodle dish, and drive the whole thing home with an egg roll. Especially the egg roll. Qué Việt has built a reputation around those things for a reason. The food is comforting, generous, consistently delicious and completely without pretense. It's the kind of neighborhood restaurant that eventually stops feeling like somewhere you decided to eat and simply becomes your place. That's what Qué Việt became for me. There's also something strange about returning to restaurants you depended on when you lived somewhere. You walk through the door years later on vacation, order familiar food, and for an hour you're not really visiting anymore. You're just back. I wish this place nothing but good things. Thanks for a lot of meals, a lot of memories, and for still being there whenever Minnesota brings us back. If I could DoorDash Qué Việt to New York, I'd probably have a problem. Until somebody figures that out, it'll remain a mandatory stop every time I'm back in Minneapolis read more

The best Vietnamese food in town!! I went with a big group and we tried so much off of the menu and everything was truly amazing. The egg rolls in fish sauce, fried rice, lo mein, and pho were all things I would get again. It's going to be hard to decide what to get when I come back! The staff were all very friendly and polite. They were attentive and checked in on us, asking if we needed anything else or water several times during our meal. If anyone is looking for a Vietnamese food recommendation, this is the first place I'd go!! read more

Cute little place and bakery! I didn't have very much interaction with the waitress. She didn't say much. Kept our drinks refilled and the food came out warm at least! Cream cheese puffs and egg rolls were amazing as always. I didn't love the sweet n sour chicken. Way too many peppers & pineapple in the sauce. read more

This is my second time getting taking out from this location. There's lots of seatin available, , but ironically I've yet to see anyone dining in. That said, I guess grabbing a table should be easy. It may even be easy snagging one of parking spots in the back (enter through alley). Otherwise there's street parking (on side streets). The two staff members working when I went were pretty welcoming and polite. One was packing up the takeout orders, which thankfully included mine. I don't know if it's due to what I order or the small quantity, but my food is always ready as soon as I arrive (within 15mins of ordering). The Egg Roll has been consistently good, crispy, and flavorful. No complaints there. This time I decide to try the cream cheese wontons. Very crispy, tasty, but a little low on filling. One major downside is they didn't serve it we that sweet sauce. They gave ample duck sauce packets, but I just ended up using the sweet and sour sauce that I have from Trader Joes. The wings were a disappointment. They're cooked hard, actually too hard. The skin was tight, the meat a bit dry, and the flavor bland. TBH, I think for the future I'll stick with the Egg Roll which can be ordered as two pcs or as one pc (1/2 order). read more

Que Viet is a quiet little place nestled in Northeast that also makes some of the BEST Vietnamese food in the cities. Like most Asian places (in my experience), it largely depends on what you get, but the beef and potatoes dish here CHANGED MY LIFE. The sauce was incredible, and the crispy potatoes (but not dry as chips!) contrasted perfectly with the tender beef. They do lunch specials, too, but even those portions are huge--highly recommend dining family style if you can! 100% worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

I've been wanting to try that Vietnamese coffee since I saw the Yelpers enjoyed it last year at the Kickoff to Summer at the Minnesota State Fair. This year, I came prepared with Lactaid and man, that is delicious!! It definitely beats Starbucks! Last year, when I was with my Yelp friends, I had the egg rolls. This time I ordered everything. The egg roll on the stick was my favorite along with the Vietnamese coffee. The cream cheese were OK; I think there is a hint of sugar in it, which is not to my taste. My husband isn't a fan of coffee in general, but he loved the egg roll and cream cheese wantons. The staff were friendly. I was offered fish sauce or sweet and sour, but I didn't need it. I'm also happy at the Kickoff to Summer event, there wasn't a long line as the main state fair event, but the food is served quick. read more

On a Saturday night my wife and I decided to try Que Viet knowing they serve the State Fair eggrolls. We arrived and were greeted right away and we did not have to wait for a table. It was a pretty chill atmosphere and it was easy to have a conversation. We ordered eggrolls, beef with pineapple, and a pork noodle salad. Everything came out very quickly, which was a nice surprise. The quickness does make you wonder how fresh everything is. All of the dishes had wonderful flavors. I would say that the sauce on the beef with pineapple was a heavy sauce. It had a great flavor, but the sauce was just a little too heavy and thick. The service was exceptional! Overall, it was a great experience! read more

Went to Que Viet today for pick up as I remember as a kid it was really good but it was so underwhelming. The sweet and sour chicken has an overwhelming tomato taste and a thick sauce. The egg rolls aren't as great as they used to be but the sauce is only fish sauce, no chilis or flavor in it. The hot spicy chicken was the best of the three things but nothing I'd go out of my way for. There are much more authentic and better Chinese restaurants in Minnesota and this just isn't it anymore. read more

Que Viet - Special Lomein Egg Roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Used to drive past this place all the time, and when my partner's grandpa said he drives all the way down here to get Que Viet to this day, we had to give it a try. We order their STATE FAIR SIZED eggs rolls, pork lomein, pho tai, and chicken fried rice. Everything was solid and fresh. The lomein was interesting with angel hair style noodles, not necessarily my preference. The fried rice was fluffy, and the pho was decent. I did end up adding a bunch of sauce packets to enhance the flavor. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area! read more

At the bottom of the hundreds of restaurants where I have eaten. Eggrolls: served within a minute of taking our order; thick skin and lukewarm. Beef and potatoes: slathered in and glisteing with grease. Hot and spicy chicken: passable with thick gravy rather than a light sauce. read more

Service once seated was very fast. Though we did need to wait about 30 min on a Saturday night. No reservations available. The wontons and the egg rolls were just as good as the state fair! The Lo mein could use a bit more flavor. Recommend the sweet and sour chicken, great flavor and definitely upgrade to the fried rice. The lychee drink was tasty as well. Good size menu with multiple specials as well. read more

Six entrées and three appetizers at our table, all of it excellent. Beautifully prepared, fresh, complex flavors. The staff are excellent, neither over nor under attending our needs. It's a small space but charming. Not overly loud, which is a huge thing these days given so many restaurants are opting for over amplified music and lots of bare, spare space. read more

Despite not having a great parking situation, I really enjoyed my meal here. I tried their famous egg roll at the state fair over the summer, so I already knew going in that was going to be a slam dunk. I haven't had a great bowl of pho in MN but this is probably one of the better ones I've tried. The broth is flavored well and was perfect for a cold and frigid day. Our server was also really helpful and it's just overall a friendly environment with lots of indoor seating. Definitely get the egg rolls if you visit but overall worth the trip for other meal options! read more

Based on this visit, we will never return to Que Viet. Our waitress was pleasant but not capable. We asked 3 times for tea before we got it.

Came here to try the "best eggrolls in Minnesota" and they didn't disappoint. They were EXTRA LARGE. (If you're by yourself just order one cause it's more than enough) The flavor profile was good. They're clearly hand rolled and the meat tastes good. The sauce they come with wasn't zesty enough for me personally. But I'm a sauce girly. But they were good. The service was really good too. I also tried the garlic wings and I wasn't a big fan of them but that's probably on me. They were cooked well and a nice large portion but the sauce just was a little bland for me. Overall, a good experience. read more

Just go for the eggrolls, you'll feel a lot happier. This restaurant has this food down pat, and it's difficult to just eat one of them. The rest of the food is bland, unfortunately. You can't get anything spicy (maybe spice isn't a part of Vietnamese cuisine?) and there's nothing distinctive about it. The service is friendly, quick, and efficient. read more

I love Que Viet so much. I finally made it to the og location. A typical restaurant setting, nothing fabulous nothing terrible. Honestly though who cares when their egg rolls are soooo very good. I love to eat them as is or in the salad option. You just can't miss when you order a Que Viet egg roll! I was impressed with all of their dessert options here too! I just stopped in to place an order to go and waited in the lobby. I could not believe how quickly my order came up. Fast and friendly service and amazing food. You really can't go wrong here. read more

I'm fortunate enough to have lived only blocks from Que Viet for years. I've explored much of the menu and have never been disappointed.

Que Viet - Vietnamese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Met here for dinner on a weeknight. It's a good Vietnamese restaurant. Not sure if it is a must try place but a good spot if you're nearby. They are known for their egg rolls at the MN State Fair and Reader's Poll Award in 2022. Vibes & Aesthetics * A casual restaurant with lots of space! There is a private room that fits about 25 people. Might be a good spot if you're needing a space like that. Our Order * Vermicelli salad (egg roll) - I thought there was too many egg rolls on top. I also like my salad more wet (so more dressing) so I threw my egg roll sauce in. * Egg rolls - My friend ordered the egg rolls. If you don't know, Vietnamese egg rolls are larger and the wrap is a rice wrapper which makes it extra crunchy. * Cream cheese wontons - They seemed fried for a little longer than I'd like. They also have green onions in them so the flavor is quite strong. * Pho - My friend ordered the pho and liked it. It doesn't come out appetizing because there's a lot of cilantro floating at the top. After mixing, it was good! Service * We were well served. I did find something in my water and kindly asked for a new cup of water. read more

My wife decided we were trying something new, and she had heard that Que Viet was the place to try. For Appetizers, we ordered Egg Rolls, Cream Cheese Wantons and Butterfly Shrimp. The egg rolls are huge and delicious. The sauce for the egg rolls was mild and provided a good additional taste. The wantons and shrimp were good, and enjoyable enough. I wasn't fond of their menu. It only provided the name of the dish, with no explanation of the ingredients. There was also nothing that explained a heat index. I went with Beef Pad Thai, asking the waiter for medium heat. My wife ordered Chicken Chow Main. My son ordered Chicken over Rice. Each dish was plentiful, almost heaping. Beef Pad Thai: The dish looked fantastic when it arrived. I'm not being mean, but the dish had no taste, and it was zero heat. My wife and son also tried it, agreeing that the dish was somehow tasteless. I poured all of our remaining Egg Roll sauce over it, which gave it mild flavor. Chicken Chow Main: Overall this had a good flavor, but the vegetables were lightly undercooked. My wife liked this better reheated the next day, softening the vegetables a little more. Chicken Over Rice: My son quite liked this dish. The chicken had a great flavor and the sauce poured over all of it was perfect. The chicken was tough to cut with a fork, but eventually my son used a spoon to cut the meat (no joke) Overall the meal was fine, but not excellent. I think we'll come back and try it all again, along with trying three more appetizers. There was a decent amount of seating, maybe able to seat 50-60. read more

No joke - I got stopped on my way in by a fanatical lady telling me they are the best egg rolls in Minnesota! She pumped us up for our ensuing meal. Lemme tell ya - the humble exterior does not prepare you for the adorable and MASSIVE interior! They recently renovated the inside with a cute lounge area and a few different dining rooms with cute decor. I couldn't believe this huge space was behind the small entryway! We had exceptional service start to finish. Our server was attentive and friendly, and the cashier who checked us out at the end was so lovely - welcoming us and thanking us for coming in. Now the food (what you're really reading this for): - Egg rolls are massive and PACKED with meat! They're so crispy and gluten -free since it's a rice paper roll. I may prefer my egg rolls a little less meaty, but they are definitely hearty and many are huge fans' - Cheese puffs were tasty, maybe a bit too crispy/overdone. Great in the micro the next day! - I can never not get bun and was so pleased with the massive portion and delicious grilled pork! - My partner got pho as usual and loved their broth - very umami with a heavy meat flavor, maybe a touch oily but gave it great flavor. - The banana bread was staring us down at checkout so got that too - not mind-blowing, but very good. We'll be back when we're in the area for sure! Exceptional service, great food, and tons of space. read more

Que Viet is good for some delicious fusion Vietnamese-American cuisine. Believe this is one of the oldest Vietnamese establishments in Minnesota so it has been a neighborhood classic since 1980s. Was lucky to have lunch here a few months ago after visiting a friend. Menu is simple, but covers many popular Vietnamese and Asian dishes such as chow mein, egg foo young, and vermicelli bowls. Ordered - Egg Roll Vermicelli Bowl (4/5). If you didn't know, Que Viet is known for their egg rolls, largely with having a stand at the State Fair, Pride, and other major events in MN. The egg rolls are really crispy and packed with meat and veggies that goes with a light fish sauce. This dish was pretty good. I think some other meat to help diversify would be better though. Overall, this wouldn't be the place I go to for pho or more traditional dishes but I would if I'm looking for all types of dishes to cover different palates. read more

I met up with a friend here for lunch and we both had terrific meals. The reviews are right: the food here is amazing. Definitely worth the trip. Definitely order the egg rolls ($12 for 2 huge egg rolls) and they are phenomenal. Ya gotta when you're here. We split them and loved them. I had the sweet and sour chicken (breaded) served mixed with the the sauce on it. The chicken pieces were large, so they don't skimp on that. He ordered the hot and spicy chicken, which was also great, and does pack serious heat. Service was pretty good, and steady. As others have noted, the restaurant is spread out over several rooms. We noticed the one server was the only one running out all the dishes and waiting on tables. There were a couple of kids were kind of floating around, cleaning up. We ended up having to flag someone down to ask for refills, not really sure why the kids wouldn't step up for this. I'm not knocking the staff for this at all, just found it very odd. The ambiance was solid. The only problem I had parking. Apparently there's a very tiny lot for only a handful of cars behind the building, and street parking in front of the building is limited, only 1 hour from 10am to 7pm. Traffic along Johnson Street (the restaurant street front) moves fast and there's very little room,, so parking on the side streets is very strongly suggested. All in all, highly recommended meal. read more

I've gotten takeout from Que Viet many times over the past 15 years and the basics are always excellent. I admittedly don't always eat super adventurously when I go here, but I can tell you two things that are definitely good: Egg rolls. A must get. They are famous for them. My brother served them at his high school graduation party. They are humongous tubes of fried goodness. Hot and Spicy Chicken. Savory and just the right amount of spice that makes it addictive. Creamy sauce and better quality chicken than you normally get at run of the mill takeout places. Takeout service is always prompt and on time. Will continue to frequent this place! read more
