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

Still on a quest for some really good egg rolls. Someone suggested this place. While the egg rolls are quite large, I was looking for the ones wIth cabbage and pork. This one was mainly meat. I was looking more for the Chinese egg rolls. Service was quick. Prices are fair. May venture back to try some other dishes. read more

A tasty neighborhood Viet Chinese restaurant with friendly staff and a slim menu. Unfortunately they were out of wings that day, so I only ordered pho since I wasn't in the mood for the other appetizers. The broth was very clean tasting and the accoutrements fresh and the expected assortment. Not a destination to plan a road trip, but a wonderful place if you live in the area to have lunch or dinner with friends and family. read more

Que Viet - Pho Tai - Vietnamese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

amazing food. quick take out. decent price for the quality. only wish there was more Thai basil for the pho.

I feel like I am betraying the other pho place I love, but this place is definitely better! I can tell they use very fresh high quality ingredients. The pho was amazing!!! I recommend asking for chili oil, it does t come with it automatically but the meat in the pho tastes amazing dipped in it! I got the birthday cake macaroon, it was good but didn't taste very birthday cake-y. Would like to give it another shot and try the fruity pebbles one next time! The outside of the restaurant looks very nondescript, but the inside is super cute and high end looking! Make sure you don't overlook it if you want great pho! read more

EDIT: Hmm definitely NOT worth the hype and really a MAJOR disappointment. I suggest going to Nicollet (eat street) or St. Paul for good Vietnamese food nearby. The menu was pretty limited and it was mainly bad Americanized Chinese food compared to the classic Vietnamese dishes I expected. Overall- I think the food was pricey compared to other places. The eggrolls were just oily. I know it's traditional Vietnamese style, but in my honest opinion not the best eggrolls out there, they just have a monopoly at the State Fair I'm guessing and that's how people generally know about it. Although the fried rice was a generous portion, it also was just oily and lacked flavor. Surprising they also sell some sweets inside but I didn't bother to try any. They only have regular beef pho- which is classic but a bumper (I prefer seafood). My friend had the pho and seemed to think it was okay. Parking- pretty much just street parking. read more

I have been on a Pho Twin Cities journey recently...I have to say, this place's pho is a disappointment. The first thing I always do is take a spoonful of the broth, unadulterated by the sauces, lime, extra basil, hoisan, sriracha, fish sauce or any other flavorings that people add- I want to know what the base broth tastes like before I throw in all of the condiments and herbs! This place was such a disappointment broth-wise...Pho is about the beef bone-marrow, slow cooked broth with the star anise, coriander, cinnamon sticks, etc...this tasted like better than beef bouillion broth...I love beef bouillion for a quick cook at home...not for a restaurant that advertised service of a very authentic Vietnamese soup based on a beef-bone-marrow broth that is the base definition of pho. I was very disappointed with the broth, and considering the plethora of the Vietnamese restaurants in the area, was the most expensive at $13 for what you receive portion and (lack of) flavorwise. What I will say is that the decor is beautiful, the service superb, and it is a clean restaurant. There is also a bakery, tea and a little sitting space in front. A table next to me, one of the customers took legitimately a shot of fish sauce (what was served on the side of some of the appetizers they took). The server said "wait, did you just take a shot of that fish sauce?" (follow with laughs around...) Server continues without missing a beat "So, can I get anyone anything else, other than another round of fish sauce shots?" I couldn't help but to laugh and suppress a snort. Go to My Huong Kitchen, Pho 400 in New Brighton, Pho DinkyTown, MT Noodles in Brooklyn Park, iPho Saigon, Trieu Chau, or Pho Pasteur in St. Paul instead. Or come for the bakery (which I will still try!) or the tea area and silly servers. read more

They've been in business for over 45 years. Great Vietnamese American style food in a mostly residentially area. Their Hot and Spicy Chicken dish is excellent if you order it with all breast meat, because I confirmed it usually has thigh meat in it as well. I was told I had to buy two orders if I wanted breast only because of the cooking process...which I don't understand why that is, but I was fine with it as it helped me to send some leftovers home with my sister and her husband. The vegetable egg fu yung is REALLY good, full of fresh veggies. We all three thought it was excellent. Nice little neighborhood place, which seems to really be popular with the locals. It's a must-go when in the Northeast area of MPLS. read more

Love this place. I think their Pork Fried Rice is the best fried rice so far for me in my experience. Love the vibe inside. Little bits salty for some tastes. Parking spot is hard to find as well. But overall, Foods make it worth it. Recommend: Pork Fried Rice, Egg Roll, Wonton Soup read more

It's a no-brainer to order the egg rolls that this place is known for. So delicious! Tightly packed, meat dense, crispy skin and yummy dipping sauce. You could drive across the city just to have the egg rolls and it'd be worth it. I had the pho soup which was very tasty. The serving was HUGE. I ate plenty, took home the leftovers and had two meals out of it! Fried rice is my daughters favorite although I don't find it particularly spectacular. It's ok. Makes a good compliment to the beef and potato dish which has a very rich gravy. The potatoes are always so crispy! How do they do that?! The service was a bit slow with just one server. He was working hard to take care of everyone and he did a fine job. Very friendly. Parking in this area is poor. If you're planning to meet people, may want to allow a bit extra time to make sure you find a spot. The restaurant is made up if a few different rooms. We sat in the front/street room which has large windows with a street view. Bright, airy. Nice. My 5-star rating is based solely on the egg rolls. Other food was good and ambiance was fine, but the egg rolls! My God, the egg rolls. read more

This place is so good! Great service. Huge portions. Delicious food. It comes out so Fast. It's Affordable. This is definitely a place to order a couple of items and share. Don't forget to order the egg rolls, they're bigger than in most places. I recommend the special fried rice (if you eat meat). Park on the street and head on in. You won't regret it. read more

A recent visit to Que Viet for take-out left a friend of mine and I with a less-than-favorable impression, to say the least. We both had two Egg Rolls and an order of Lo Mein, with mine being Shrimp LM and hers being Chicken. The Egg Rolls were indeed every bit as good as we have heard, but at $6 apiece are ridiculously over-priced. My two egg Rolls and order of Lo Mein came to a jaw-dropping $29+tip ($35 total)!!!! Our orders of Lo Mein were a different story. Both of them were light on ingredients, including the Shrimp and Chicken, and were mostly just a container full of greasy Noodles. Both of our orders had a very peculiar taste to them as well that was hard to identify. That unusual taste, whatever it was, also contributed to both of us having an potent aftertaste from the food that lingered thru to the next day. What's more, about 30 mins after eating her food, my friend developed what appeared to be a sudden-onset and classic case of food-poisoning. She was quite miserable for about 24 hours with it. Needless to say we will not be back to Que Viet and would not recommend it to anyone else either. read more

Uhm, how could I have overlooked this quiet Vietnamese restaurant all this time? The road in front of the restaurant is being worked on, so I was worried about parking but there was plenty of shaded street parking nearby. We had to try the egg rolls (after ALL the Yelpers suggested them) and we were NOT disappointed. I had pork lo mein and it was surprising-it had a wonderful grilled flavor. The seafood pho was wonderful (but a little speedy at $16-but then again-it was worth it). We had our server make our dishes "spicy" and it brought out the flavors of the pork & veggie entree. Great service, lots of bicycle motifs (yay!), and great food. Next time, I'm doing their fried rice & spicy chicken. read more

This place is pretty hidden from the outside, and seems like it might be a little shabby, and it really sucks bad that they're closed from 2-4pm most days. HOWEVER, this place is one of that few that is so so SO totally worth it. I went with someone last Friday to this place on kind of a whim, and she covered the bill for us to each grab a meal and each get a couple egg rolls (one order of egg rolls comes with 2 big ol egg rolls btw) and off the dinner menu, this cost just shy of $50. The fried rice I got was fantastic. It was warm, almost too hot in some spots, loaded with all sorts of veggies, not too brown and not too light either, or under/overseasoned. Honestly it was some of the best fried rice I've had in a long time, and then after I ate one of the egg rolls, I knew I had to bring one of the egg rolls home for my boyfriend. I asked my friend who paid for us if the egg rolls would reheat in the microwave well, and she said oh yeaaah. This sentiment absolutely rang true. It was just as delicious as the first time around when I had my boyfriend reheat the egg roll to try it, and it was still just as crunchy too. They egg rolls are really dense and not stringy with veggies that are too crunchy or anything like that on the inside. They're like filled with some sort of dense meat, I can't even describe it. And the duck sauce that comes with it is *chef's kiss* Honestly, you could eat the egg rolls by themselves as a meal lol. But the next day, my boyfriend and I were so impressed by the leftovers that we came back Saturday before 2pm to get their lunch menu instead. Got an egg roll to share, and two sweet and sour chicken lunch combos I believe. These rang up more like $35-40 total. The sweet and sour sauce was sooo good, and clearly made in house, with pieces of pineapple, green pepper, and cabbage hanging out. The chicken was standard, and the rice was still made very well. Overall, this place is the place I'm going to when I'm freaking sick of eating Leeann Chin for Panda Express. Definitely hands down one of the best Asian food restaurants around, for the quality they deliver for the price point. It's just hard to beat when you want some really good comfort eats. Thank you for the fantastic experience, and I will be back!! read more

Super friendly staff and fun atmosphere for a nice sit down dinner. The egg rolls are amazing like everyone says! It is a bit pricey which is why I'm hesitant to give it a 5 star but other than that it's great. read more

My favorite restaurant in Minneapolis! Food is always consistent. The egg rolls over rice noodles are the best. So happy they are expanding to more locations across the metro! read more

Que Viet dinner: beef with crispy potatoes and chicken chow mein. Both tasty, in fact, Bobby couldn't wait to get bck to have the beef with crispy potatoes which come in a finger-licking suce. This is a neighborhood-type restaurant that closes at 8:00 - which means at 7:55 they lean over your table and whisk your empty plates away without a word and begin spraying tables to clean them - leaving unfortunate smells to replace the lovely food aromas. Wait staff definitely needs training in customer service. read more

I use to eat chicken wings back in the day from this place. Since it's been awhile, I decided to visit and order hot & spicy chicken, with eggrolls. And it came with white rice. Well the chicken wasn't very hot spicy, so I had my own red pepper sauce and that made it taste much better. It was filled with lots of chicken and onions, and the eggrolls were good also. Overall a four star, bc it was in a brown sauce with no heat. read more

A co-worker recommended this place to me and another co-worker. We all enjoyed the large portions and excellent quality of the food. The egg rolls are ginormous. The wonton were crispy and fantastic. The egg fu young was also delicious. I liked it so much that I brought my wife in the next weekend. She enjoyed it too. Enjoy my photos read more

Been going her for over 12 years! NEVER HAD A PROBLEM AND FOOD IS ALWAYS GOOD! House special fried rice is one of my faves

I love it here, they one of the best egg rolls in Minneapolis. Family run, very quiet and service was awesome as always.

Tasty food, friendly service, and they get things out fast. For a place that's been open since 1980, you know they've earned their place in the neighborhood. With limited hours of 4-7 pm, you have a limited time to try their offerings. That's just what happened tonight. We had a variety of things to get a feel for their flavors, and were satisfied mostly. The egg rolls are the star of the show by far. Large, crispy, piping hot, aromatic, and delicious. They have a flavor you want more of. A close second were the butterfly shrimp. The tempura batter is special. One of the slight let downs were the beef & potatoes. I saw a lot of reviews about how great they were, but after trying them, they just seemed like potato chips folded into a beef and onion dish. The pork platter was a bit light on the pork, and a bit heavy on the rice and salad. The service was very attentive and friendly, and the flavors were great. You should eat here. read more

I remember going here when they first opened a long time ago so I was excited to finally try it again. I read all the reviews about how good it was so I ordered take out. I got the chicken lo mein- in the pictures it looked amazing so I couldn't wait to try it. I'm not sure if it was an off night or something but it was so dry I could barely eat it. Small overdone chunks of chicken didn't help. I literally had to add some sauce I had in the fridge & even then it was still horrible. The noodles didn't seem to be cooked all the way - tough & dry. Sucks because I was really hoping it was going to be as good as it looked in the pics. I will probably give it another try sometime but not any time read more

One of the greatest spots in NE. Easily one of my favorite Vietnamese spots in the city. Legendary egg rolls. Great lunch specials. Good phở (both Thai & Ribeye). The food is fresh, hot, and always exceptional. The service is fantastic. I hope this place never changes. read more

The Pho here is really good !!! We stumbled in here and enjoyed everything !!! The portion is generous. If we come back in town we would be back. read more

Although the café and restaurant look very cute, I have only had Que Viet for take out. The service for take out has always been great, with food ready on time, hot, and packaged well. Although I have not experienced their dining service, the beef lo mein is too amazing not to share about! I usually order the cheese puffs, chicken fried rice, and beef lo mein. The cheese puffs are very large and tastey, so they definitely exceed expectations. The chicken fried rice is a safe choice. The beef lo mein is incredible, though. The beef and each vegetable retains its own flavor, and they taste a little smoky like they were grilled. I highly recommend the lo mein to anyone considering eating at Que Viet! This restaurant is the tastiest little hole in the wall! read more

Worst delivery experience. They use Bite Squad, a company that delivered my food 30 minutes late and only offered a 20% BITE SQUAD credit instead of a refund. I called the restaurant to see when my food would arrive and all I got was a shrug, "there's nothing we can do about your order". The booking, tax, and miscellaneous fees came up to almost $17, half the cost of the food. What a shit experience. Unless I'm picking up or dining in, I will NEVER order from Que Viet again. Tastes like garbage when it's been sitting for 45+ minutes too. read more

Make sure you check their website for their hours, as they are not open as often as my stomach wishes they were. Que viet has the best egg rolls of all time, including actually really good veggie egg rolls. My favorite thing to order is the veggie egg rolls over rice noodles. Check out their egg rolls at the MN state fair!! Parking available on the street (free). Good for take out or dine in, they've done a lot of renovations inside that bring a really fun vibe. Their staff are always quick, friendly and kind. read more

Que Viet has been around for since 1980 and claims to be "the longest running Vietnamese restaurant in Minnesota"... which is worth celebrating and supporting! With a huge crunchy egg roll! Or 3! Honestly, they don't have all authentic Vietnamese dishes, but they do offer a variety of fusion and classic dishes that are crowd-pleasers like: egg rolls, rice dishes, egg fu young, and chow mein. But no bun salads, banh mi, bun bo hue, or broken rice dishes. However, what they do do, they do well. Their eggs rolls are big, meaty, crispy, and the best in THE cities. Their beef with potatoes dish has a dedicated following, and I love their current special: lobster fried rice (Fridays in March). Their pho is very good, but kinda pricey. A classic combo of ribeye + meatballs pho will cost ya $16 + tax + tip. Service is 100% wonderful and they always remember to give me all the fixin's and side sauces when I order takeout. Their space has been recently remodeled and is lovely! They also added some beautiful bakery items, and I look forward to seeing what new specials they come up with. read more

Que Viet - Lobster fried rice (only avail Fridays in March) and Egg Rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

For a traditional Vietnamese restaurant, I think the food can help you miss home a little bit less, especially if you don't have your mom's home cooking. I don't think the menu is completely traditional (lo mein and chow mein are not words you find on a Vietnamese menu though we do eat noodles). My boyfriend enjoyed the pho, particularly enjoying the soft cuts of beef, though I thought the broth had too strong of a flavor to star anise or some other herb that gives pho its kick. I didn't particularly like my lo mein dish but it was not a bad dish in itself. I was unsure why my noodles were completely broken. Noodles should never be broken IMO, otherwise I would eat rice. My mom enjoyed her bbq pork with rice noodles. The wait staff was very nice and talked to my mom for a while, connecting on their Vietnamese upbringing. Overall, food is decent and great staff. read more

I have been coming to Que Viet since it opened in 1978. In the past , Que Viet had the best egg rolls in the Twin Cities. This is no longer true. They are now merely ok. Their Bun was formerly very good. It is now just ok. I do not know the reason for the slippage in quality but I have observed it in the last two meals I have had at Que Viet. read more

I would drive to eat here, and I don't like to drive - I'm all about quick and easy. We came for the egg rolls, after seing them on TV. I'm a sucker for a good egg roll. These are pretty good. They are not the mass-produced egg rolls you get at most places, which automatically gets 3 stars. I give them the 4th because they are large and tasty. The rest of the food was good to, but I will make the trek for the egg rolls any time I have a hankering! read more
