EaterOctober 8, 2013From the crispy rabbit dumpling with tomato confit to the pho-spiced pork belly with cilantro sauce, the menu at this University Ave. restaurant is unlike any other spot in the city. [Eater 18 Member]
Brennen StenkeAugust 20, 2015The Bún salad is great with tofu. The careful French fusion here makes for an intriguing menu. As a bonus (or requisite, perhaps) they place an emphasis on local ingredients. The space is cool, too.
JayJanuary 14, 2016Amazing food! Great place for lunch. You can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches and the sweet potato fries are the best. Lastly try their handmade sodas for new sweet flavor profiles.
City PagesAugust 5, 2014While the restaurant offers American bistro staples, its Vietnamese classics tend to be stronger: The beef pho might just be the best in the state, with a sweet, winter-spice accented broth. Read more
- Lucille FisherMay 28, 2019Best beef pho outside of Saigon. Every dish we had was delicious. Would love to go back to try every single dish in the menu.
The pork bún is so freaking delicious. Trust me…you'll have to keep coming back for more. I might recommend paying a little extra for more pork to throw in…seems like there was less than before?- Lucille FisherJune 3, 2019The ribeye pho is the best pho I’ve had outside of Vietnam. Every single dish was outstanding-best paired with Surly beer.
Daniel HoeffelOctober 24, 2016The three meat pho is full of flavor, very good. If you like it spicy ask for a bottle of their hot sauce "The Wrath of Khan"
- City PagesMarch 4, 2013The patio is a little oasis where parents can slurp hearty bowls of traditional pho while kids can happily scarf down one of the finest croque madams to be found in town.
Claire McDonoughMarch 31, 2017Great service. I was well looked after. Waitress had good recommendations. Ultimately, food was more hyped than how good it was.
Janis BabcockSeptember 8, 2012Croquettes, wine and service are amazing. Super hip environment. The hangar steak was really terrible I must say. Should have stuck to a traditional Vietnamese entree.- Sarah HaleyFebruary 28, 2012Apps you have to try: the rabbit dumplings and sweet potato shrimp croquettes. I would eat the spicy aioli on it's own!
Great new cocktail menu... Awesome Bun noodle salad with Shrimp eggrolls... Yummy!
Natalie Wyatt-BrownJune 18, 2016Pho is excellent, good beer selection, many other great things to eat here.
- Jen WApril 6, 2010Anything on the menu made with Fischer Farms pork is going to be delicious. They do something amazing to it. My favorite is the bún salad with the pork.
Anna ChristiansenOctober 15, 2013Probably the best pho I will ever have in my life.... Besides the pho in Vietnam.
Wednesday date night special: choice of two traditional entrees, dessert, & bottle of wine for $30
Rachel RAugust 23, 2009In addition to the great food, the beer menu is great! Includes locals such as Surly, Lift Bridge, & Flat Earth both on tap and in the Cask!
- Amazing food, great atmosphere, fantastic tap beer list. Don't miss this place!
absolutely loved the tofu lettuce wraps,with crisp and flavorful pickled vegetables and a spicey hoisin sauce!
Mary PJanuary 24, 2014Temporarily closed due to a water pipe bursting - be sure to check their website for re-opening. - jan 22
There isn't a better Minnesota-made tap beer list in the Twin Cities. Concise. Smart. Tasty.
Heavy TableMay 20, 2009The duck confit appetizer, featuring Wild Acres duck breast with coconut curry sauce is always outstanding. Read more
They have desserts. Ask for the desert menu. It changes often.

"This Target gets a bad wrap. Nice, big, plenty of parking, & if you time it right it's not too busy. Usually can find everything I'm looking for from the adds & Cartwheel."
