The restaurant was small, and in a very cute location with a nice private parking lot. As you enter…read moreyou notice it's not too decorated and definitely has room for improvement on that front. You order at the cash register in the entrance and they will bring the food to you. We ordered a fried chicken sandwich, Char Siu, egg rolls and rice. The favorite was definitely the chicken. It was very crispy, thick, moist and flavorful. It was on a pretzel bun, which normally I am a fan of but I think it takes away from the flavor of the fried chicken and the gochujang sauce we got and doesn't quite make sense. To me, it seems more haha a burger bun than fried chicken. The char Siu was good, but very small pieces of meat for the big price tag. The egg rolls were delicious and we liked the way they were cut along with the dipping sauce. Overall, we would come back but I think we would focus on just getting fried chicken and apps and avoid the rest.

The chicken was crispy and flavorful by itself as well, a big win! The char siu was tasty but the portion size was a bit small. The service was very quick and efficient but the restaurant was pretty loud and it was kind of hard to hear if you were trying to have a conversation. It seemed like just an acoustics thing in the space we were sitting.

There is a good variety of Chinese, Hmong, and Vietnamese options (mainly pho). When I picked up my order the location appeared very clean and chill. I wouldn't mind eating in the restaurant. They also have kiosks where you order rather than ordering with a person, but someone was close to greet me and hand me my to go order. Onto the food, my friend ordered the sesame chicken with white rice. The portion is pretty good sized, unfortunately I don't have a photo. The sauce is very dark, and didnt really give sesame chicken as you'd probably expect from other sesame chickens in the twin cities. However it was a nice umami and cooked well. I enjoyed them, but it was not to my friend's taste nor what she expected. I ordered the braised pork belly special with purple sticky rice and Hmong sausage. The pork belly came with one egg, you can add more for an additional cost. The sausage comes with a spicy sauce, which you can also get extra for additional cost. The pork belly was soooo fatty. Like barely any fat rendering seems to have occurred and for being braised and fatty the meat was surprisingly dry/tough. The flavor was very sweet. It would have been nice for a bit more salty/umami to shine through. The egg was yummy, sauce penetrated the egg white pretty completely. Not sure how those are supposed to be in this particular dish, but it was a hard boil, not jammy or anything like that. The Hmong sausage was my favorite, very nice texture and flavor. The sauce is super spicy and pairs well with everything. The purple sticky rice was also perfect. Last, I added on a mango cheese bun which was fresh, lightly sweet, and delicious however it was not made from Vangz. It was pre packed from a St Paul bakery, so still local at least but I was expecting from their dessert options that those were made in house. Overall, the meal was decent. I purposely went with a special dish rather than a more popular choice because I like to show different options in my reviews. I hate when I can't find the whole menu in actual customer photos. If people are only ordering 5 items from you, that says something about your menu and overall food quality. I'm still curious to see what else Vangz has to offer before I write them off. I was torn between choosing the pork belly stir fry or crispy pork belly. I'd also love to try their pho. I will be back to try more and update my review :)

Amazingly for living in the South West Suburbs of Minneapolis (or maybe a little farther than what…read moreyou would consider that), I had never been to Lat14. Lat14 Asian Eatery is a critically acclaimed restaurant in Golden Valley, Minnesota, created by Chef Ann Ahmed. Its name comes from the 14th parallel north, inspiring a menu of bold, shareable Southeast Asian dishes from Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and the Philippines. The food was phenomenal, which shouldn't be surprising coming from Chef Ann Ahmed's pedigree of awards. We started with a couple of appetizers. First was the Basil Wings which were Tempura Fried with Thai Basil, Jalapenos, and a Signature Dry Rub. Wow the tempura gave a satisfying crunch with a beautiful zing of spices. Next was the Snow Crab Wontons which were filled with Cream Cheese, Snow Crab, and served with Apricot Sweet Chili. These were stuffed with crab and you totally could taste it. The sweet/spicy sauce with nice acidic bite cut through the cream cheese very well. For my main, I went with the Lao Yum Salad which consisted of Mixed Greens, Tomato, Cucumber, Red Onion, Toasted Almonds, Watermelon Radish, Hard Boiled Egg and Lao Yum Dressing. Perfectly balanced and the dressing was delightful. Oh, and can't forget about the House Pickle Assortment of delicious tangy morsels. ___

It had been a long while since I was last able to visit this establishment, since I now live out of…read morestate. When I recently finally got a chance to go while in town, it was a must visit. I used to go at least once a month when living in state and on the west side of the river, especially when they had happy hour (the one negative aspect I have to report. But I digress...) Ann Ahmed is a Laotian-American Minnesotan and 3 times James Beard semi-finalist. This restaurant is known to serve food around the "14th latitude" and is FAMILY STYLE, so keep in mind while ordering. The food also comes out as it is ready rather than all at once per course. My twin sister and I went one cloudy summer's afternoon and sat outside on the patio, surrounded by lush greenery under decorative cloth shading hung above us. Of course, we got the lumpia, which they split in half for us since it was only us two and they come 3 to a plate (or 4 if you pay an extra $8 or something...) and the nam khao for "starters." For once, we both decided to try something different rather than our go-to (heavenly exquisite) Khao soi (sincerely, just divine). I ordered the pad thai with fried tofu and she ordered the squash curry with a side of roasted chicken to add. We both also got cocktails. I got the mango margarita and my sister got the old fashion (lat 14 style). The lumpia are crispy, flaky and filled with the perfect ratio of succulent pork to fillings served with a spicy dipping sauce. When cut in half, they sear the end of the cut portion to seal in the flavor and contents. Next came the khao soi, a dish to tantalize and tease the palate with the crunch of puffed rice and peanuts and the umami bite of pork flavored with lemongrass and other seasonings wrapped in a crispy lettuce leaf. Living currently in Miami, an absolute vacuum for even gross asian food, I was CRAVING pad thai and Lat 14 delivered. Perfectly cooked noodles with the right amount of sauce (not too dry and not swimming either) with lots of protein, perfectly cooked scrambled egg, fresh beansprouts that don't overcrowd the other ingredients and the crushed fresh peanuts hit every note my taste buds craved. I also was allowed to try the curry and never knew squash curry with coconut was the flavor I missed in my life. All in all, is it pricy? Yes. Are the portions also generous? Most definitely. Is it worth it and your wallet will be begging you to lighten itself by another visit? ABSOLUTELY! Also, our server was attentive, knowledgable and kind.

Inside is simple, clean, and modern. The menu isn't big but it includes all of the staples that you would expect to find at a good Thai experience. We were sharing plates with little ones so we just ordered a mixture of food from the menu including pineapple fried rice, pad thai, pram ram long song, mango sticky rice and some cream cheese puffs. All of the dishes were flavorful, tasty and came in big portions for the price point. It was a wonderful meal to share with friends! We had so much food to eat and enjoy. The pram ram was excellent heated up the next day for a quick work lunch. I highly recommend this place for authentic and tasty Thai food.

Takeout, however, stayed nonstop busy with steady orders and delivery pickups. That seemed like a great sign. I was surprised by the spacious interior as it appeared smaller from the outside. There are ample tables and booths for any group size, and the atmosphere is ideal for a quiet, calming meal. Our server was polite and attentive, taking our order soon after seating us and delivering everything promptly. We ordered: - Japanese Shumai: served hot, with a crispy exterior and juicy interior, these were such a good bite! I could've eaten 20! Pro tip: I recommend ordering two servings if you're considering this app. - Chicken Fried Rice: a generous portion served with house-made yum yum sauce, complemented our sushi rolls perfectly. - Royal Dragon Roll: King crab, shrimp tempura and cream cheese topped with eel, avocado, spicy mayo & eel sauce. - Firecracker Roll: Shrimp tempura, snow crab, avocado topped with spicy tuna, spicy sriracha mayo. The sushi rolls were exceptional--tightly packed, well held together, and flavorful! Overall, the meal was delicious and satisfying without being overly heavy. We had a great lunch and will return to try more rolls. It's great to have another quality, family-friendly sushi option in the area.

I keep returning to Haven Asian eatery, because I absolutely love their Vietnamese Egg Rolls and…read moretheir Spring Rolls with shrimp. Again, I wish they had a hot and sour soup. That said, this time I tried the Red Curry with chicken. I don't think I selected a spice level, but I must've gotten medium, because the spice level was absolutely perfect. The chicken was tender and not at all dry and the curry was rich and savory. Adding a couple of spoonsful of the included sticky rice made the perfect meal. Of course, I got my favorite Vietnamese egg rolls (perfectly delicious) and Spring Rolls with shrimp. For some reason the shrimp were kind of hard; they looked and tasted fresh but the texture was off. The Sweet Mango Sticky Rice was something I have looked at so many times in different restaurants but never tried and so I decided to try it here. It's slightly sweet and has lots of mangoes, but for some reason, every few bites had an odd fishy taste. It was soupier than I expected so now I need to order it elsewhere to compare.

Service was fast and the inside was pleasant enough (it must have once been a Caribou, it reminded me of one). The food was definitely really good. The stars of the show were the jeows, some of the best we have had. The curry was flavorful and tasty, as was the Moo Krob. The cocktails were good; I would not come here expecting the same quality as a cocktail bar, but for a mom and pop thai restaurant, they were definitely above average. All in all I would definitely reccomed this place, especially before a show at the new amphitheater.
