    Seafood Pho with Spicy Saté
    Sean G.

    My roommate and I always order pho to go from this restaurant. The chef must have a turbo charger in their kitchen because the food is ready in 10 minutes every time. The pho here is everything you'd hope for in the renowned Vietnamese soup. It has that "it" factor. The broth is full of delicious spices and more and I have yet to order a bull of pho from here where I do not tilt the bowl to my mouth and drink the remaining broth like it's ice cold water on a scorching hot day. The Seafood Pho is delicious and a bit of a departure from my typical order of their Sliced Beef Pho. The combo of shrimp, squid, imitation crab and shrimp meatballs is delicious and not one of those proteins tastes too fishy. The spicy saté option on this bowl adds chili oil and flakes mixed in to add some heat to the dish. The inside is what you'd expect from a hole in the wall, strip mall restaurant. Don't let that dissuade you from stopping by or getting takeout. The food here is A1 quality.

    Grilled Short Rib Rice Platter
    Lori J.

    The sesame chicken was chewy and had tons of breading, very little meat. Low quality chicken is noticeable lol. The sauce itself was good, very sticky. The fried rice was below average. The egg roll was okay. The short ribs were a bit tough but the seasoning was good. Was clearly higher quality meat which I appreciated. It cost extra for fish sauce on the side but chili oil was free. The white rice was nice, good with the sweet pickled veggies and the fish sauce. There was a service fee for ordering online and an additional convenience fee for using a card of any kind. If a business is trying to avoid taxes via money payment, I support it but the card surcharges always raise an eyebrow. Would I come here again? Probably not. It completely outranks new dragon though so if you have a craving and can't go beyond Shakopee, here is passable. Spent a little under 30 for both meals in January of 2025. Order pick up was a breeze.

    Thai tea

    A regular here, the food and service is top tier! The workers are like family, Kenny is usually my guests and I's server and knows our order from heart we don't even need menus. Always a great experience every time I stop in. The restaurant is always clean and tidy. We get our food very quick and the portions are perfect. I usually order the 02 phō with the Vietnamese egg rolls and Thai tea. Would 10/10 recommend stopping by here if you're in the area!

    Chicken Phad Tai, Shrimp Phó, sesame shrimp.
    Blake H.

    Saturday lunch spectacular. The Pho83 luncheon menu is M-F, so ordered from the main menu, and it was delish! My order: Shrimp Phó. Lovely bride had chicken phad Thai. Ordered some sesame shrimp to go for tomorrow. Flavors were delicious. Hearty portions. Not too spicy - I should have dropped in my peppers as I like my Phó on the wild side. No matter - it was really tasty. Food and service was prompt and welcoming. One critique: the cream cheese puffs were average - don't stand out, but we're also lightly fried, as they should be. Vietnamese Egg Rolls were packed full of flavor. I'd get those again, but skip the Cream cheese puffs. We will be back!

    Pho with noodles, sliced beef, and meatballs.
    Katie C.

    A nice little family ran restaurant. Friendly staff. I ordered the pho with noodles, sliced beef, and meatballs. I don't remember what it was called on the menu. I tried it exactly the way it was delivered to my table, and it was a bit bland. However, it was served with a lime wedge and there was a variety of sauces on the table. I squeezed the lime wedge in and added some hoisin and sriracha sauces and in no time the bland flavor became exquisite. I ended up really liking it. I was a little disappointed with the initial bland flavor, but having the ability to add some citrus flavor and other sauces greatly enhanced the flavor and experience. The menu described it as a "big bowl", and that description was accurate. The serving size is immense. You're doing something wrong if you manage to walk away hungry after eating an entire bowl. It was more than I could finish. And unfortunately, I am traveling for work and don't really have a way to carry the leftovers with me and eat them later.

    Bun salad
    Tim R.

    Amazing service. The Pho and Bun salad were perhaps slightly above average but, if you are in Shakopee and want a reasonably priced Vietnamese meal, this place will do.

    This is bbq heaven! First...you need to know I'm a bbq snob. I'm very picky about flavors,…read moretenderness, smokiness, etc. Mr Pigs delivers! We had ribs, pulled pork, brisket, and sausage. All of it was delicious! The brisket was extraordinarily tender. The sausage had a delicious kick to it and was juicy. The pulled pork had a wonderful smokiness to it and didn't need any bbq sauce. The restaurant itself is very clean and everyone was very friendly. Oh...and the Diet Coke was great! We will be back! Chef's kiss!

    My boyfriend and I were on the hunt for some great BBQ and unfortunately, we are still on the…read morehunt... This place is located in Shakopee and is next to Canterbury Downs (horse race track) and an amphitheater. It shares a smaller lot with other businesses, so parking can be a bit tricky. We were greeted by a friendly host and she immediately sat us. The waitress/bartender came over right away with water and asked if we wanted anything else. We said we would take a look at the menu. The drink menu however was blank... like nothing inside. When we alerted the waitress she laughed and said "oh well that's not great." But didn't do anything to fix it. We originally said we were going to stick with water but the water was gross! So we ordered sodas instead. The decor here is cute and it appeared to be clean/well taken care of. There are a lot of seating options between booth, high top and low top as well. They also have a fair amount of big screens and pull tabs. This place also smelled amazing but the food just did not capture that. We started with the smoked wings and got the sauces on the side. My boyfriend really liked them. I felt they were just ok. They were moist and a decent sized wing, but lacking any real smoke flavor. The garlic parm sauce was our fav and the ranch here is solid. We got the little pig. Another person noted "bland" and unfortunately we agree. There was absolutely no flavor the any of the meats! This place has the word "smokery" in it, and yet no smokiness at all. The other strange part was the texture. The pork and ribs were both mushy... my boyfriend said it was giving, "reheated" vibes. I don't know if that's true, but I've never had meat have a texture like that. The brisket in my opinion was actually decent. Though I wish it had more flavor, the texture was pretty good. The corn bread muffins were excellent and the sweet potato fries were also good. This place relies heavily on you putting lots of sauce on the meat, that's where the flavor comes in. I didn't care for the sauces very much either though. Unfortunately this was a let down. When you spend over $100 for food, you are expecting a quality experience. We will not be back.

    We love Bravis! Their new location is such an upgrade from their previous spot downtown Shakopee…read more Much more seating - booths, tables, picnic table style seats, bar seating. Love the murals on the walls celebrating the Minnesotan culture and icons. The service is always great, and the servers always have a good menu recommendation if you're unsure what to get. The bar has delicious drinks and their Jamaica juice is so refreshing on a hot summer day. Happy hour is a nice discount on some favorite items. I will say anything with shredded chicken isn't my favorite (not enough seasoning on the chicken for my taste) but everything else we've tried is a hit! We always start off with the chips and salsa flight and add cheese sauce - it's NOT a queso, there's no peppers or spice. The creamy green sauce is our favorite salsa they make, it's delicious on everything. The torta is a great choice if you're unsure what to get, the pineapple bowl is awesome if you're trying to share with others. Tacos and burritos are always a hit - I love the crunch of the pork belly and the flavor of the al pastor, taco toppings are onion and cilantro unless you get the loaded taco with slaw. The burrito could probably feed two people with an appetizer. It's a little higher priced than your typical plate of tacos but the quality of the food is always top notch, the kitchen is open and clean, and I've never left hungry or without leftovers. I will note - if you're looking for "traditional" Mexican food this probably isn't the spot you're looking for. It's still delicious just slightly different than what you'd get at your typical taqueria.

    Homemade flavor and excellent service. Hard surfaces so a bit loud inside but plenty of patio…read moreoptions. Never disappointed. Pineapple bowl superb and shrimp outstanding. Most prices, these day, are higher than 12 months ago. Worth every cent.

I imagine it would be really nice in the spring/summer as there is a horse track right outside of the restaurant which would provide a great view to a race. It definitely got a little loud just sitting inside They had a large variety of options to choose from on the menu. They also offered a great and surprisingly extensive Happy Hour Menu which we got there in time to take advantage of.  We got the burger and thought it was very tasty, we love a good caramelized onion. I thought it definitely needed some ketchup to balance out the heaviness of the onions and cheese with a little bright acidity. I also thought the patties themselves were very good, thin with a slight crisp to them with a soft bun and melty sauces and cheese. Since it was a happy hour option the burger did not come with any sides like it would have as an entrée. We also got fish tacos and we were a big fan of the slaw and pineapple mayo which brought a balance of sweet and savory to the dish. Only came with two tacos (at least for happy hour) which might not be enough food if you're hungry. The hot smoked salmon was one of the more unique items we tried. The salmon itself was super tasty - salty and smoky just what you want. They use the smaller scraps of salmon that wouldn't work in their Wood-Fired King Salmon entrée and incorporate it into this appetizer which is great sustainability-wise! The salmon came with a creamy ricotta, salty capers, crunchy crostini, and sweet and acidic pickled red onions. We liked this combination a lot but felt it could have used even more sweetness/acidity, maybe just adding a couple more onions to the dish. We really enjoyed the 'Garganelli' pasta dish. It was creamy and indulgent with pieces of lobster and freshly shaved parmesan on top. The chili added a really nice layer of heat but wasn't overpowering. The server was nice enough to split up everything we had over the evening to share (which explains the two small portions in the photo). MN Mule - 8/10 Pretty average but solid mule. However, it was served in a plastic spam cup which elevated the whole experience. Margarita - 9/10 Very good margarita - we were told it was a house made margarita not from a mix. Very bright and fresh flavors that definitely let the tequila shine. Overall would definitely recommend!

    Food was very good. Happy hour and prices were attractive as was the service…read more Mostly hard surfaces and quite loud even though less than half full. Next time will be a patio visit. Excellent dessert selection. Loved the deconstructed key lime pie. Not to be missed.
