Menu Sept 2023
J.C. L.

This is an extremely small, local business that is a hidden gem. The food is outstanding. Some listings say either Vietnamese or Chinese ... but they do both - and do both well. Huge portions, very good food, and they're run by what I believe is a husband/wife team... and maybe no other staff. With that, they are currently takeout only, your phone conversation when you call will be brief, and they can get busy (they are very good about letting you know if they're busy enough that your food will take longer than usual)... but the food is 100% worth it. Don't look for a website. The phone number is 651-483-1239 and the menus are posted here on Yelp.

Was hoping to try this place at 7:00 p.m. on a Friday night and was greeted by a sign on the door that warned potential customers of a long wait due to an increased demand of take out orders. The restaurant was quite empty and there were only two parties sitting at tables. I was told it was going to be a 45 minute wait. I left as I was not interest in eating dinner at 8:00 p.m. They might want to consider hiring an adequate amount of staff to meet their business demands.

Sesame chicken combo and Mongolian beef combo with egg rolls and cream cheese wontons it was fantastic!

Beat Asian takeout in the area. Total hole in the wall but their portions for price are huge and all of the food is extremely tasty! I would definitely recommend getting takeout here for your next takeout night!

Maybe you have a PHObia of trying something new, but don't make the PHO-pas of passing up this place. Their Vietnamese noodle soup is PHOnominal. Definitely not PHOny at all. This grub is no PHOdder. This is the best PHOreign food I've ever had. I wanted to PHOne my mother and tell her how good it was. I took a picture of it and it was PHOtogenic. It was so much food, they took it to our table in a PHOrklift. I'd like to PHOrnicate with it, but that would probably be PHOrbiddin. I can't think of any more puns because my tummy is way too PHO.

Sesame chicken combo with fried rice
Tino K.

Caravelle is s'alright. If I could give it a 3.5 I would. I ordered the sesame chicken combo, which came with an eggroll and fried rice (my choice) and also an order of the pork spring rolls - all for around 14 bucks. The portion sizes here a HUGE. Like damn! I left wishing I had just ordered one item or the other. The spring rolls are ginormous and a meal in themselves. My only real complaint about them was that there was too little meat and too much lettuce. Otherwise, very fresh and tasty with the dipping sauces that came with. They offered me a choice of spice on a 1-5 scale for the sesame chicken. I played it safe and went with a 3 and upon my first bite was wishing I had opted for a 5 as it wasn't spicy at all. Maybe if you are the kind of person who think ketchup is spicy... The sesame chicken was alright, nothing to get too excited about other than there was easily enough of it for 2-3 meals. I actually really enjoyed the fried rice - they didn't skimp on the egg (love me some fried rice loaded with egg). Also enjoyed the egg roll; thin and crispy with tasty pork filling and a tad bit greasy - yum. I would definitely come back and order from here again, if for no other reason than to snag an order of the egg rolls and fried rice. It's better than a lot of the other options nearby in terms of price, quality and quantity.

I came here for dinner because I had work related events in the state. I dont have any pho in…read moreMadison that is catered for the viet taste bud. I lived in the Houston and Garland Texas area all my life where there is a large vietnamese population... and for the past 5 months, I have just been exploring Minnesota and Wisconsin and Illinois for vietnamese food. This evening... I was just craving pho. lets start with the ambiance. Its a pretty hip place once you get inside. I do like the cultural blend of modern and old school, and you see it with the different type people that come in. The staff there was prompt, and unlike my old school favorite in Richardson Texas... the staff to customer ratio was high. So the service was quick and attentive. Now for the pho. I went with the Dac Biet because I never know sometimes if I will get tough precut preprocessed meats... not in this case. I felt that all the ingrediants were fresh...and catered toward the old school viet palette, which I thank you. I understand a lot of pho house have to stay in business and cater to the local palette but this one was spot on. You can just breath in the right mixture of ingrediants. The bowl was reasonably priced, and the portions were similar to what I am used to having in Houston. It was fantastic as I scarfed it down to quick and forgot to take a picture. However, all the pictures that I have seen associated with this location are accurate. Overall, I would come back here. I am interested in trying their Stone pho next time as th emenu advertisement made it look tasty.

Went for an early dinner on Mother's Day. Was expecting a long wait but was surprisingly seated…read morequickly. Service staff was as expected for a busy day and we kept getting the wrong items sent out but they were nice and apologetic, it was just a busy day and had newer staff. Parking is limited, be sure to pay attention to where you're parking since certain spots are meant for businesses nearby. They have patio seating but I don't know if they actually provide food service outside. Bathrooms are currently out of service so they have two port-o-potties outside. It's a nice space and gets lots of natural sunlight, I do wish they had some tint or blinds though because we were seated next to a window and it was a bit blinding especially with the sun reflecting off the metal cups and laminated menus. I've heard great things about their food but for me it was a miss. We all had pho but the amount of herbs and fresh toppings wasn't sufficient for 6 phos. They were accommodating and gave us additional items we asked for. The calamari was on the greasier end and was bigger than expected. For my palate both the banh mi and pho were lacking in flavor. I put a lot of things into my pho but it just didn't taste like anything to me except for pho powder. The ribeye pho had a generous portion of broth but only like 5 slices of meat. The oxtail stone bowl pho one looked hot and didn't have enough space to add everything in without it overflowing while the other didn't look like the broth was hot enough to cook the noodles. I will say though their ordered drink cups and to-go containers game was top notch. I received a reusable bag with my two banh mis to go instead of a plastic bag. It's probably not somewhere I'd return to unless someone else absolutely had to have it but to each their own.

My personal favorite pho on University, where there are dozens of choices available. Broth is clear…read moreand clean tasting with plenty of warm spices. 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.

Always on the hunt for some really good Wonton Soup.. unfortunately, I didn't find it. Ordered…read moresome wonton soup and it wasn't what I was used to. It had a ton of vegetables which typically I don't mind, but the broth and dumplings just tasted odd. Other food ordered: Appetizer platter- chicken wings, tempura shrimp, fried wontons, cream cheese wontons Pork pad thai- had nice big chunks of pork. It was okay. The service was great, but the flavors for me- I just wasn't a fan. Prices are a tad high.

He made the food and she took the orders. By the time we were leaving it was pretty busy and she was rushing around trying to so everything plus taking walk out orders. I am vegan and explained that to her and they were able to accommodate me. I got the Szechuan Kung pao tofu. I got it spicy level 3/5 it did have some back heat but overall the initial tasted somewhat sweet. The tofu was nicely fried and there was a good bit and a good variety of vegetables. My mom got the Thai basil supreme with shrimp which had a red curry base. She got it spicy 4/5 and said it wasn't spicy and that mine was actually spicier. Overall we both enjoyed our food but the dishes were expensive. I don't know that I would rush back but it was good.

This is the best meal that we have had across the US in a LONG time! Thank you thank you thank you,…read moreKhue's Kitchen, for existing! We were traveling out of MN for work and heading back to Chicago. During our work trip, we had some pretty disappointing gross fried food. Knowing we wanted to have dinner before leaving for home; however, we weren't expecting much. Khue's Kitchen had great reviews on Yelp and availability for us. After placing the reservation, I noticed a very short menu that left me uneasy. Guys, DO NOT FRET ABOUT THE MENU! It is perfectly curated. We got the Chicken Salad, Pork Fried Rice and Pork Chop. Chicken Salad: Literally moaning at our tables. OMG... it doesn't even need the chicken to be good. The fish sauce dressing is what makes this dish. I could eat this everyday. I will be trying to recreate this at home until I can make it back to MN. And the prawn chips - genius! You can make anyone eat veggies on a shrimp chip! Roast Pork Fried Rice: I thought for sure this was cooked on a wok with a higher than thou BTU flame. Eric, the owner, informed me it is not. How can that be?! How can you get that flavor, soulfulness, crispiness, tenderness into this dish without a wok?! Pure magic! The chili crunch is a nice bite. (FYI - took some home and had leftovers for lunch. This dish is even better the next day!) Pork Chop: Nice char and flavor. Not dry at all. We walked into this restaurant without any research. Didn't know who Eric was, his lineage or relationship with Quang, accolades... We walked out full, satisfied, overjoyed and giddy with AN EXPERIENCE, not just a meal. We were so lucky to have time with Eric who is so personable, thoughtful and FUNNY! He made the night for us on top of the food. We will definitely be back in August when we bring our kids for our annual state fair trip and they're going to love the chicken salad as much as we did!

Our experience mirrored another review on here: great service, but the dishes were a miss…read more We couldn't finish the Crispy Pork Lettuce Wraps ($15). The menu describes "Vietnamese roast pork," but what arrived tasted deep fried rather than roasted -- tough, flavorless, with unrendered fat that was still solid. Given the "lettuce wraps" framing, I'd expected something closer to ground pork; instead it was fatty slices that didn't match the description I envisioned. The thin rice noodles underneath were fine but plain and unseasoned, with scallions scattered over the noodles. The chicken sandwich was extremely greasy, and the heavy-handed sauce turned it into a soggy mess -- the bun fell apart almost immediately. It reminded me of Blue Barn's Nashville hot chicken (from the State Fair), but executed poorly. Maybe we came on an off night? Worth flagging: both dishes are listed as entrées but came without sides, and the menu only offers three appetizers. Depending on what you're in the mood for, it's hard to build a full, filling meal.
