    Pho toppings

    Nice spot, you can tell they rushed opening no shades and bathrooms not put together yet. You order from a machine which is okay but as a new spot it would be nice to talk about the menu. They have self service water station and I asked the lady at the counter for a picture to bring to my family of water and they didn't have any. The food we all enjoyed everything we tried. Spring rolls- sauce made these. Egg rolls- delicious classic , flavorful Sesame chicken- breading was light but sauce was flavorful. Vegetable fried rice was average but good to have with chicken. Pho - less flavor than most phos but lots of chili sauce on the table to add. While there are things to work through this is a nice spot and we are excited to go back and try the ramen.

    Don't entertain the low ratings cuz they're being dishonest about Vangz!!! Show a pic of why the low rating. Some folks refuse others to thrive in business and this is the case here. The food is Good!!! I've actually eaten here and I have zero to gain by being honest about my experience. Delicious combination pho!!! Clean and light broth which only needed a tad of fish sauce and Siracha. Chicken wings are crispy and the Hmong pepper sauce complimented them well. Shrimp spring rolls are fresh and yummy. My family and I are so Happy there is Hmong food in Cottage Grove!!! Thank You.

    Decent effort for the suburbs. Service is a bit rough as they just opened. You place your order at one of two kiosks, grab a number and find a seat. My favorite items were the lo mein and pork Hmong sausage. The owner of the previous restaurant in that location was there this opening weekend to cook the Chinese food dishes so it was wonderful to get that nostalgic taste in the lo mein and sesame chicken. I'd probably pass on the pork eggrolls next time. Our party thought that they looked pinkish but supposedly you can eat pork a bit pink now *shrug* and it didn't taste or look raw. No one in our party got sick. Papaya salad was okay. It could use a bit more tartness/sourness and definitely more spice. Perhaps some more tamarind or lime. I would love more beef flavor or maybe have beef paste available at the condiment table to amp up the beefiness. Definitely could use more meat, felt like a very small portion in the pho. The pork belly must have been pretty popular as they were sold out as the dinner hour came about. Khao poon was sold out as well. Soda was pretty costly at 3.99 for a small cup. I'm not sure if refills are included but at that price, I'd rather try a boba drink. Lots of updates to the building. It was pretty crowded and felt smaller than before the renovation but they did build an office into the entryway. Lots of hustle and bustle. Service felt a bit lacking but I assume it's because they just opened and with them just recently looking to hire people, they are still adjusting. I'd be interested in seeing if service improves as they start to settle in. *update* service has improved now that the craziness of opening weekend has died down. The owner was seen going around welcoming people and checking on everyone. Hoping they'll introduce an online ordering system. Tried the pork belly. It was deliciously salty and crispy. I got more skin than meat or fat cap but I didn't mind cause how can you hate the crispy belly skin when that's the best part. Chicken wings were flavorful and crispy.

    Pho combo

    They are very generous with the ingredients for the pho! Lots of meat! Love it! So far the favorite items are the pho combo, chicken wing laab, and eggroll! Keep up the good work and customer service!

    The food was all great! Bright, clean, beautiful sit down area. The ramen station was a fun experience (just would have been nice to have a label on the menu with which were spicy and which weren't). The staff were super helpful and accommodating.

    Vegetable lo mein, rice, cream cheese wonton, and sesame chicken.   Ordered it take out. This was taken at home.

    Paid an extra $4.00 for a combination meat lo Mein and there was hardly any meat ingredients. $18.00 for lo Mein should be packed with meat.

    I had no intention of writing a review but the ease of ordering through Yelp and the quality of the…read morefood I received proved that it was necessary! I was leaving my sand volleyball league and needed something simple I could grab on my way home. I ordered at the start of my last game, set my pickup time, and went about my business. By the time I left the game and arrived to pick-up my food it had just been finished - right on time! Staff was very friendly and the process was effortless. I walked into the lobby, grabbed my order, and went home. I think because it was so affordable I was expecting to compromise on quality but the hibachi was really good! We both had steak and shrimp with yum yum sauce and it was reminiscent of Benihana. Honestly, the only concern I have is knowing Hibachi express exists and that I have to pass it once a week when I can barely control myself. I have to enthusiastically recommend you give Izumi Hibachi Express a try next time you're looking to grab takeout!

    Please give it a chance. I was hesitant about going in because it didn't have many reviews but…read moreended up going in and got the gyoza and hibachi steak+shrimp and the food was good. Everything tasted homemade and fresh. The yum yum sauce also tasted homemade and unique. We heard multiple people who were dining in talking about how good it was--which I agree. This is definitely the place to go if you want the taste of hibachi without paying $90 for two!! You do get smaller portions than at a hibachi restaurant though. Flavor of the fried rice was on the blander side by itself but when you mix it in with the meat it fixes that problem. Also the staff were really nice :)

I truly wanted to try the pre-made foods. We walked in and the lights were dimmed. It felt more like I was walking into an art gallery than an Asian grocery store. No one shouting. No funky smells. The produce section was what I walked into first. I was met with 4 green onions, 2 onions, a bag of bean sprouts, and a few fruits but all the produce were all wilted. At least everything else was neatly organized. Then we went to the sauce area, then to the ramen, then to snacks and so forth. All the products were at least 25% or more, higher in price than what's available in the grocers in St. Paul. Yes, you're paying more for the ambiance. Make the drive over to the hundreds of other Asian grocery stores there. I don't even live close and I make the effort to do my big grocery shopping in St. Paul for the price and variety. Anyway, I didn't see any or much SE Asian grocery items that would help me cook my dishes. Most items were catered to East Asian cuisine. Their precooked food area was sad. The pre-cooked rice looked mushy. The breads were dried and flaky. Disappointed to say the least. As an Asian person, I wouldn't frequent the establishment even in desperate times.

    I was making ramen from the first time and needed a few specialty ingredients that I haven't used…read morebefore. I was thrilled to see that there is an Asian grocery in Woodbury and it's just down the road from Costco. So I gassed up with some cheap fuel, bought a vacuum that I probably don't need (Costco, amiright?) and swung into United Noodles with my ramen recipe. The store is immaculate and well organized. The woman working the counter was super helpful and showed me where all my ingredients were located. They have an impressive selection of Asian and Hawaiian brands. I'm looking forward to shopping here more often!

    The best banh mi in the state! My goto spot for roast duck & bbq crispy pork ribs & pork belly…read more I can't be in an Asian grocery store long lol I only go here during the off peak times to avoid the long deli line. If I need any Asian grocery items, I usually just have my mom get them for me from a list that I would send her. I am very sensitive to smell and vomit very easily so I try to go in and out of Asian grocery stores as quickly as possible and especially on an empty stomach just in case I do vomit. The raw meat section smell is terrifying at every Asian market I wish it was sectioned far away from the entrance of deli foods. But it's not & they cut the raw meats in the open air (not enclosed or closed door separate room) & the smell lingers into the entire store at every Asian market & just makes me very ill. Luckily, the deli register line is only for the deli so I can just order deli foods and check out in the same line and then I'm out the door.

Again, so many things to try. The entrees I've tried haven't been my favorite items. I'd say, definitely try a banh mi or the roast duck. Service is not really something I take into consideration when reviewing Ha Tien as there's not a ton of interaction for me, most of the time. I get in, peruse the aisles and get out.

    I tried Bambu Kitchen & Sushi Restaurant in Oakdale for the first time tonight via delivery, and as…read moresomeone who loves both sushi and Thai food, I was excited to give it a shot. The sushi genuinely impressed me. It was affordable, flavorful, and the fish tasted fresh. I ordered the spicy tuna roll and really appreciated that the tuna wasn't ground into mush - these were solid, thick cuts of fish with just the right amount of heat. My only minor critique is that the roll could've been wrapped a bit tighter to keep the end pieces from falling apart, but honestly, it didn't take away from how delicious it was. I would happily order it again (and again). The Drunken Mussels were also a hit. The portion size was generous and the sauce was salty in a satisfying way--overall, a great dish. I ordered the Spicy & Sweet Blast Curry (mild), but unlike other Thai spots where mild still brings the heat, this one had zero spice and ended up feeling a bit flat. It wasn't bad; just not very flavorful or authentic-tasting to me. Next time, I'd skip the curry or at least order it hotter, because I think more spice could make a big difference. Overall, I was very happy with my order and will definitely be ordering from Bambu again. Especially for the sushi.

    When my wife and I walked in, we decided to give the restaurant a try because she had been there…read moreyears ago and wanted to see if anything had changed enough to make us want to return. I ordered the teriyaki chicken kabobs for my appetizer and the chicken and shrimp Pad Thai. The food was delivered on a robot, which was pretty cool. However, the noodles in the Pad Thai were hard, the chicken tasted a bit stale, and they messed up my order; there were no shrimp in it. The man working there remade the dish, and while it was okay, the chicken still tasted like it was a day old. My wife didn't care much for her Pho either. The biggest disappointment was that I came to visit this restaurant specifically to try the sushi, and there was no sign or notice on the door stating that sushi wouldn't be available because the chef was gone for a week and a half. We didn't find out there was no sushi until we put our appetizer order in, which should have been told prior to us being seated. I was glad to give the restaurant a try, but I won't be returning. The food lacked flavor, the decor was rather basic, and not having sushi, which was the main reason for my visit, was just too much of a letdown for a first visit.
