Amazing food. The Pho is on point, beef and fried potatoes is out of this world. Difficult to describe, but oh so good!
Have had different service experiences here. Came in on a Friday evening. Had exceptional service – very attentive, friendly, and fast! There were plenty of people there, but they made us feel like we were the only ones in the whole restaurant.
On the other hand, when we came in with a group of 7 for the lunch buffet it seemed like they could barely keep up. Most of us got the buffet (which is passable for a lunch option, but nothing to write home about). If you
haven’t done it before, plan to mostly help yourself.
Also – GET the Vietnamese coffee! So good!
So, I’d give dinner 6 stars, and lunch 4. That averages out to a good experience, and a place I recommend to colleagues looking for a good lunch spot in the south metro.

My family and I eat here all the time,we love their pho, wontons and egg rolls… the egg rolls are jumbo and love the egg roll sauce, it’s sweet
sweet with fishs sauce…. the wontons are my kids favorite with the sweet and sour sauce. Just basic cream cheese. Also if you want to try something different I recommend trying their happy dish, which is vietnamese pancake. It’s like an omelet but it’s not not with egg. It’s more like corn batter. How you eat it, is by grabbing a spoon full of the pancake and wrap it with lettuces and dip in the fish sauce. It’s very tasty. The number one reason why my family comes here is their pho, my family we always order p1 that comes with everything… it hits the spot just right… we will travel from saint Paul just for a bowl of pho here. We like our pho not too sweet and cinnamon taste. The pho here, you can taste more of the broth, and nothing is very over powering the other ingredients. Which we love, and I recommend just trying the pho broth before adding any other ingredients. I hope this review helps for anyone who wants to try this place. One bad thing about this place is that they are not really on top of refilling your water but are getting better at getting to it now vs then but other then that the food are awesome.

We love their eggrolls. You can choose 4 or 2 big fat eggrolls. I recommend the smaller but 4 pieces because they stayed crunchier longer. I ordered a dozen on Xmas Eve and my family are them fast. I still crave them today and so I ordered two more orders along with “pho” bowls. I highly recommend their spicy chicken wings, very juicy & tasty. I’ll review them on my instag ram account at Kangen_Water_Panacea too.

My husband and I were very impressed with our first visit here. Neither of us had tried pho before, and my husband has a severe mushroom allergy, so we had quite a few questions. Our server did a fantastic job of guiding us through the menu and helped us both choose just the right dish for us.
The pho was delicious! The broth was fragrant and flavorful, and it was full of noodles and meat. It was honestly so good that we were both tempted to lick the bowl clean!
Excellent service, helpful with food allergies, and delicious food… we will definitely be back again soon!

I would give 1 star. I called in ordered 4 Vietnamese sandwiches, 1 Bún Bò Huế ( beef rice noodles soup), 1 chicken fried rice. I didn’t asked for the price. At the time I got to my car in their parking lot to eat my sandwich, I looked at the receipt, it shows $67 dollars. The receipt didn’t show the items I purchased. I ate and saw a long string inside the sandwich. I called into their phone and asked for the price of each item. The gentleman told me $7.99 per sandwich, $13 for the fried rice. I told him I found the string inside the sandwich and that I’m eating it in my car in their parking lot. He didn’t even sorry to me. The sandwich tasted is 1/5 compared to Ai Hue restaurant in St. PAUL and other Restaurant. The price is way to high and the Bun Bo Huế and fried rice are very very bad. Too salty. Too dry and hard too eat. My kids couldn’t eat even second spoon. Omg. I never see any restaurant that charges too high and tasted so bad like this. Double price compare to other restaurant. Especially, the food has a Strang string in it but they don’t even apologize for it. Becareful, don’t come to this restaurant because you don’t want to pay over price, mess up your tast and got something that is not suppose in your food.
Thank you

Great food. Egg rolls are awesome. Vietnamese coffee was also unbelievable. Great place to eat and also looking for staff, after talking to cashier.

Service was fine. Tables are gross sticky good thing for placemats. The pop was flat like they poured it from a bottle and they charged $3.15 for it (pretty spendy for a small coke). The pho is more on the oily side. The noodles were over done. Not my favorite but if you’re in the area it’s the only one in Bloomington.

I’ve eaten here on and off for probably 20 years. It’s a good meal for a decent price. Their Vietnamese cuisine selection isn’t as robust as some others, but what they do offer is quality.

Found a fly in my soup. They were really apologetic but didn’t really make up for it in another way. The prices are way too much for mediocre food. As soon as I walked in, one of the waitresses gave me an unwelcoming look and proceeded to say something about me in Vietnamese, as she assumed I didn’t understand.

Beef and Potato is an amazing entree. It has crispy potatoes with a very generous portion of sliced beef. Enough for 2 to share. We also love the spicy chicken wings.
