    a bowl of soup and chopsticks

    Upon advice from friends, we are trying this place. Despite living in st cloud for over a decade we hadn't tried it. And we were seriously jonesing for some pho and viet noodle salads. I ordered pho with everything, and my wife ordered lemongrass noodle salad. Plus spring rolls for an app. It's definitely a hole in the wall, but the service is nice, pleasant and attentive. The ambiance is definitely 80 Chinese, very retro. While the pho isn't the best I have ever had ( c'mon folks, this ain't Bangkok) it is a good traditional pho. The broth is satisfying without overwhelming, and they do have all the extras like tendon that some places lack. The Spring rolls were also good with an interesting soy based sauce. My wife's chicken was also very good with just the right amount of snap to the spice. Overall I would recommend this almost hidden gem. .

    Wow! I have been looking for a bon meh place since PhoV and VietTen closed. Don't be fooled by the strip mall facade. The best places are usually holes in the wall tiny spots. Excellent bon meh although I missed the pickled veggies. Noodle salad reminded me of San Francisco china town. The shrimp spring rolls were fresh and delicious! Yum yum yum! I am going back sometime this week for sure.

    Good Pho and spring rolls. Restaurant is dated, but very clean and well taken care of. Staff friendly, attentive, and helpful. Definitely recommend if you are looking for Pho.

    Super hard "American Cheese Puffs" inside is like a square of a Kraft single

    It was bad when I last had it ~3 years ago, decided to try and give it a second chance. Big mistake. Lo Mein noodles are just spaghetti noodles, wontons over cooked and tough, rice was undercooked and crunchy. I spent $60 for my partner and I and there isn't one decent thing here. Waste of time, waste of money, save yourself and eat at one of the other Chinese places in Cloud- literally PANDA EXPRESS is better

    Had already been eating this is about half of the order for 2.

    One of the best places for Chinese food in St. Cloud. I ordered beef curry and it was delicious. Friendly staff and fast service.

    The food it good. They have build plates most of the time which are a better price that ordering off the menu.

    **** #1 VIET RESTAURANT ***…read more This place makes the best grilled marinated pork you'll ever have in your entire life. It is char grilled to perfection. This place also makes the best grilled pork banh mi. It is the same grilled pork sliced up as you would get in the entrées. The pho here is also spectacular. You can really taste the oriental spices in their beef broth. I normally do not order the pho from here because they do not have tendon on their menu. I usually get any entrée that has the grilled pork. This place also has the best wonton noodle soup or plain wonton soup. They the wine times are Housemade dumplings and they're absolutely delicious. This place also makes the best eggrolls the most fresh ingredients inside their eggrolls I've ever had in my entire life. Wow, was this place happen for lunch on a Monday packed to the max!

    Food: good Service: good…read moreAmbiance: plenty of tables and good space I like the flavors of MT Noodles. Their fried rice is really good, their pork in the bun cha gio is marinated nicely and tastes flavorful, and I like that they use the rice paper to make their egg rolls. Their nuc mam is close to how my mom makes it too (sweet, sour, and spicy)! The Banh kot is just okay.. it's supposed to have the same batter as banh xeo, but it's not the same. It's thicker, white, and doesn't really have much flavor. I wish the appetizer came with more lettuce too. I want to wrap it all up and dunk it in nuc mam, but I can only do that with 1 piece :( I will go back to try other things and get the bun dac biet again though.
