Tasty Viet- Chinese restaurant. Stopped by here for dinner to catch up with a friend. The…read morerestaurant is standalone with plenty of parking. We walked in and sat wherever you'd like. The chairs and tables were the type you'd expect at a Vietnamese restaurant; iykyk. The guy was prompt and brought our menus which was pretty slim being a double sided landscaped. More a Chinese restaurant than Viet, but it did have a section for Bun and Pho. Entree: Kung Pao Chicken It was tasty, the brown sauce was fairly generic, but in a good way. Like you'd want the consistency in a neighborhood restaurant, but you wouldn't drive out your way to get it. The chicken could use a bit more quality control since there were some grizzly pieces, but not enough to ruin the meal. The vegetables had a good crunch and were expected in a kung pao dish; carrots, onion, celery, peanuts. The portion was generous enough for leftovers or one very hungry adult male.

I LOVED Ha Long Bay for YEARS! Best Pho I've ever had. Told my whole family about them and they…read morebecame regular customers as well. I ordered food online from them recently (administered thru GrubHub) and when I went to pick it up, there was a sign saying they were closed due to a sudden family emergency. I sincerely hope all is well for them. However, I didn't receive any food on a $55 order. As it was over the weekend, my wife called on Monday asking for a refund as we had given them a decent amount of money for us, but received nothing in return. The person she spoke to told us there was no manager who had access to the GrubHub account, but took our information and promised to resolve it. No answer as of today (Thursday) so I stopped in in-person. I was initially offered a cash refund. Until the person on duty spoke to the manager by phone. He told her it was a GrubHub problem and they couldn't refund money on a credit card purchase. So that was it. thanks for the money, now go away, not our problem. I reached out to GrubHub by chat and was told they couldn't find my order and therefore, wouldn't be offering a refund either. (that's a whole other story.) GrubHub later called back and said, still no refund, but the merchant was willing to offer a 10% discount on my next order. Huh?! I just gave you $55 you refused to give me back for giving me nothing! there isn't going to BE a next order from me, and likely the remainder of my family. I realize it's two entirely different groups saying it's the other one's problem. but Ha Long Bay ALWAYS had the option of doing right by their customers, regardless of who was at fault technically. But they chose not to. And when I called Ha Long Bay 45 minutes before their stated close time to give them one more chance, it went to voice mail. So, I guess I'm looking for a new place for great Pho.

The bread was falling apart and you couldn't even taste the ham. It was thin and barely any in there. If you want to eat veggies in a bahnmi bread that's falling apart, sure go for it but don't call it a bahnmi, literally a disgrace. Not only that but they must have a new Indian worker. He didn't seem to want to be there at all and he works so slow. He moved onto the next order and realized he forgot to give us our food. This place use to be good for a mall food court joint, but never again, don't wanna try my luck!

I did try the cheese Wontons too, and appreciated that they were of the smaller variety. The ambiance feels like what I used to see in old movies for a Chinese restaurant, and I really enjoy that. Service was very good, everyone was very nice and attentive.

Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff is welcoming every time. It's casual, comfortable, and feels like part of the community. Whether you're grabbing takeout or sitting down for a meal, you'll leave satisfied. And if you like your food with a kick, just ask your server--they can make it extra spicy. A true St. Paul staple.

Proteins all served at correct doneness in the Pho Dac Biet so you get the tougher cuts well done and rendered and the thin steak raw so it cooks in the broth. Great side accompaniments, Thai basil still on the stalk and living, fresh bean sprouts, Sri Racha and chiles in oil depending on your tastes, squirt bottle of hoisin. The only tiny nitpick I have is I wish they had bigger spoons available for those of us who like to mix sauces and soup in the spoon instead of muddying up the bowl. Also Vietnamese coffee is prepared old fashioned, not in a boba cup where you can't tell if it was made just now or weeks ago. Great service. This is a tiny little joint which is exactly what you expect from a world class Pho place.

I kept seeing people recommend this spot as having some of the best pho in the Twin Cities, so we…read morefinally decided to check it out for ourselves. We were able to find free street parking nearby, because of parking lot renovations. As soon as we sat down, our waitress made sure we had everything we needed, including chili oil and sriracha for us. She checked in on us throughout our meal without being overbearing and made us feel very welcome. Since it was our first visit, we appreciated that we never felt rushed to order and had plenty of time to look over the menu. The pho was really solid. I loved the clear, deep flavorful broth, and the Vietnamese coffee was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Unfortunately, they were out of bánh mì during our visit, but honestly that just gives me another reason to come back. Between the good food and excellent service, I can definitely see why locals love this place. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a great food and a welcoming dining experience.
