Don't eat here. The food was absolutely horrible. I don't think I even have particularly high standards, but this was on par with a frozen hungry man meal. I would have enjoyed lighting a $50 bill on fire more than spending it on these 2 (pretty small) entrees and one side of egg rolls. Don't go here. read more

Always love the food. My fav wontons and egg rolls. You can't go wrong at Que Viet!

the egg rolls are to die for! thanks for young special was exquisite! the fried rice with its miniature rice is absolutely perfect! will be back soon. any chance you could come back south of the river ie, Eagan or Apple valley? read more

A well above average vietnamese restaurant. Service is good, interior is fancy, menu has all the classics & then some. Best eggrolls in the twin cities. read more

This was a phenomenal visit!!! We came for dinner tonight after my sister keyed us in that they have spectacular egg rolls. Well the reputation is well deserved. The egg rolls were super crisp & crunchy, absolutely delicious. I also got the hot & spicy chicken which was billed as their specialty. It wasn't very spicy at all but it was tasty. Tangy & sweet w/ onions and some red peppers. The atmosphere there was really cute. They had a pillar in the middle of the dining area with chalk writing on it & a few large photography prints hanging up. Our server was great. She cracked jokes, made suggestions about what was good, and was attentive and quick to anything we asked for. I'm definitely adding this to my "Need to return" list!!! read more

This is one of those places you drive by 100 times and don't notice, but you really should! While it's a small place in a non-descript building, it houses some terrific food, fast service, and a nice clean if basic restaurant. First of all, the eggrolls are SO delicious!! Crunchy, hot, excellent flavor! And big! I would come here just for those actually, but so much more to love! The cream cheese wontons are yummy too. The chow mein is not your typical, cornstarch based type, but fresh vegetables in a deliciously flavored, garlicky light sauce on crunchy noodles. Absolutely terrific! Chicken or beef they have both been amazing! Friends have tried many other dishes and loved all of them. The quality of their ingredients makes the food and flavor shine. Make sure to check their hours because they do close and reopen mid-day for a bit. They actually had a trailer at the State Fair which had the Eggroll on a stick and garlic cream cheese Wontons. I got the Eggroll (see picture) but didnt get to try the wontons :(. Next year! read more

Que Viet - Sooo good!! Eggroll on a stick :) - Vietnamese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I hadn't been back to Que Viet in at least fifteen years, then I stopped on New Years Eve for a to-go order--because MT Noodles and Quang were both closed for the day. Long ago I would order an egg roll noodle salad, because that was the only thing I thought they did well. This order was simple: egg rolls, spring rolls, pork noodle salad and hot and spicy chicken. The service was prompt--less than fifteen minutes. The order was around $50, which seemed a bit high. The food was ... okay, but not great. The egg rolls were the best, though my wife said "they have too much onion." The spring rolls were not bad but not great--they actually had mint in them which seems to be an easy ingredient to skimp on. The pork noodle salad was ordinary but servicable. The hot and spicy chicken was downright inadequate. There was no trace of spiciness, almost no onion, and no trace of the heavily-caramelized sauce that is usually the distinguishing trait of this dish. It was as though the sauce was just heavily-reduced chicken broth. I didn't notice any lemon grass either. It reminded me strongly of the worst hot and spicy chicken I'd ever had, which I now recalled was at the Brooklyn Park Que Viet. My recommendation is, if you want some good Vietnamese egg rolls, this is a good place. If you want anything else, I'd think about going elsewhere. read more

Umm.. this is our go to spot at least a few times per month. Those egg rolls thou.. Im we can can't say enough good things about them. Always order an extra dipping sauce. You'll thank me for this suggestion. read more

Best egg rolls on the planet! Have been coming here since 1981. Sorry they no longer have egg drop soup on the menu.

Excellent food. Best eggrolls in town and the hot and spicy chicken is fabulous.

I won't ever get sick of the egg rolls here. I love the fried rice and the beef/potato entrees too but am happy just stopping in for an order of egg rolls. I didn't realize it but they are made with rice wrappers which makes them perfect for someone who is gluten intolerant. The service can be rough but it's definitely part of the charm. Don't miss out on these egg rolls! read more

The Egg rolls are dang good, as are the entrees - going to make to include this in my Take-out rotation...forte with or post haste...

So, I ended up here looking for some decent eats around the NE/Roseville area. No official website, OK. I'll let that slide, and we'll see what the restaurant has to offer. Perhaps the restaurant serves a bit more than the typical Vietnamese pho and vermicelli fare found in the cities. A little bit of a hole in the wall, but the inside had an upscale feel that wasn't at all Chinese or Vietnamese. Red flag #1. I mean, I guess the overhead Chinese vocals and music playing kind of gets you somewhat in the mood? Sat down, noticed all there was was some soy sauce, salt, paper shakers, and a fork on the cheap Chinese zodiac paper placemat. Red flag #2. Menu... good god. I shouldn't have sat down and should have just asked for a menu up front to take a look. It's pretty much Americanized Chinese food with some Pho offerings. And egg foo young. Who the hell serves egg foo young in a metropolitan area this day and age?!? Anyway, I asked the server what was recommended, and he touted that the eggrolls were touted to be the best in the State Fair or something to that order.. yeah no. Sigh. Anyway, ordered the hot and spicy chicken, what's supposed to be their most popular dish and the least bad from what they had listed on the menu. Good news, the serving for the dish was generous. Chicken thigh meat with onions cooked in what I'm presuming to be a peanut sauce that had hints of garlic and some ginger, but was overall overwhelmingly salty and sweet. Absolutely no heat. They did serve rice, but it was a meager bowl that was not enough to dilute the overpowering sauce. Good news is that the server did provide some additional chili and oil (though I think it was more broad bean chili paste in retrospect) at request to balance out the sauce, and he also did provide chopsticks, though it was the disposable kind (bummer). Long story short, this is not a legit Chinese restaurant. It's catered to the Northeast MPLS/Minnesotan crowd. Spice level was more from the peppercorns than the actual chili that I think the dish sorely needed... Probably should have gone for their pho/noodle soups? Yeah, avoid this place if you're looking for legit Asian food. However, I've had much worse, so the place gets 2-2.5 stars At least the service was good, and the bathrooms were clean. And they didn't charge extra for rice. /s read more

Egg rolls and beef lomein excellent. Like many Asian restaurants they have no liquor license but take out is always good

This has been one of my favorite restaurants for over 15 years. I'm convinced that they have the best egg rolls and cream cheese puffs in the US! I now live out of state and make a point to come here every time I visit. They expanded and updated the restaurant in the last few years which I think looks great. Meal portions are large and a great value for the quality. Couldn't recommend enough! Order -Garlic Cream Cheese Wontons -Egg roll salad -Sweet and Sour Chicken -Egg rolls read more

Their egg rolls are the best in town! Large portion sizes and great flavors for their entrees. A restaurant that NEVER disappoints.

even though I didn't take any pictures (boooo!) the egg rolls are fantastic and I'm not a big egg roll person. I think it's the light wrapper and the good sized portion of meat filling with the light dipping sauce that helps put a nice glazing on the fried deliciousness. I also picked up some sweet and sour chicken which was all white meat with a nice, not too heavy breading and a tangy sauce with peppers and pineapple to pour of the chicken and steamed rice. Good, family owned restaurant with friendly service and plenty of street parking even on a busy street like Johnson. read more

So, my teen daughter and I, super hangry, hiked up to this place for some much needed nosh. It was 15 min to close and we had our fingers crossed that they would still let us place an order to go. My sister had been ooo-ing about their egg rolls a few days back and said we HAD to try them! In fact she said it's the ONLY time she will eat pork- is if it was this places egg rolls. THE ONLY TIME! (She is seriously missing out on the amazingness of a good pork bacon!!)She was right about them being HUGE! And the outside being so perfectly crisp and perfectly fried. But I personally found the stuffing inside to be a little bland for my taste buds (she had voiced they were really amazing in flavor). read more

I have driven past this place twice a day for 3 years and never tried it. Until tonight. And it was delicious!! We got the egg rolls, sweet and sour pork, and vegetable lo mein for take out, and all of it was piping hot (even after a 10 minute drive home), fresh, good quality, flavorful and huge servings. And all under $25! I highly recommend this place--it'll be a new weekly stop for us! read more

Que Viet - Vegetable lo mein and huge egg roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Everything was delicious despite we received the wrong soup. We ordered a asparagus and grab soup but instead received a wonton soup with meat and my SO is a pescatarian, and she found out it was the wrong soup based on visible protein of chicken. After we received the correct soup, it was a dull let down. Looked like the soup had too much starch since it was really clumpy and lacked any color due to lack of garnishes like the last soup how it had green onions and this one didn't. Due to so much starch, the flavor also fell flat with it read more

The wait time to get in was over 20 minutes even though there were plenty of tables open. I was so anxious to try their famous egg rolls. I didn't know that the vegetarian egg rolls were so nasty. I could not eat them. The texture was like a gel. The ingredients were mysterious. There wasn't the lovely texture of the outside of the pork egg roll. It was the pork egg rolls that are worth having. They are $12 for two of them. The older lady who served us insisted on charging us for the inedible $10 egg rolls, and would not let me order the ones I had come for. It was extremely discouraging. She would only give me 10% off. I also had the chicken almond ding which did not seem like chicken almond ding because the almonds were tiny fragments of almond. I thought the ingredients seemed fresh which was good. But I was very, very disappointed that I didn't get to try the good pork egg rolls. My friends went there yesterday. Their bill came to $358.00. The restaurant now adds the tip on automatically. Many restaurants are doing that now and it's not a good thing. I can't go to a restaurant that doesn't stand behind their food and insists on charging you for it even if it is inedible. I was not angry, only disappointed. She apologized many times but wouldn't let me order the good egg rolls. read more

Very great tasting food. I enjoyed the phu and egrolls. It was a long wait for our order to be taken then to receive the food. There was 3 other tables at the time. read more

Que Viet - Vietnamese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This place was hard to find, but totally worth the hunt. It is located in a little Residential neighborhood in St. Anthony. The pho is made with ribeye not some sad looking sheet meat. We had ours to go after a hard night of drinking. The egg rolls were on point, nothing like a phish sauce egg roll and some pho to cure a hang. read more

I first visited Que Viet in the eighties, and I've never been dissatisfied with my purchases. I typically craved egg rolls from Que Viet. The price has jumped but you can't find better egg rolls. And the fish sauce provided, it's awesome! read more

1. The name is very misleading because this is not an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. There's nothing on their menu that screams Vietnamese. It's more of a Chinese-American restaurant. Lo mein, chow mein, sweet and sour chicken/pork, fried rice, etc. Granted, the workers are the only Vietnamese thing about this place. 2. This place can be very deceiving, it looks like a run down place on the outside but the inside is actually quite cute. It's got a modern touch with some chalkboard additions. There's Vietnamese art pieces around the restaurant but that doesn't really compensate for their Chinese American menu. 3. Service here is confusing, it is not a first come first serve place. People who came in 10 minutes after we ordered got their water and food before us? ??they were seated with drinks right away when we were there for a good ten minutes before them, on top of that, we already ordered and still didn't get water. I was a little baffled when they got their food and check before us too. Especially considering no one else was there. It's hard to miss when you were the only table other than the new table that just walked in. 4. We ordered the chicken wings, which turned out to be delicious garlic oyster wings. The sauce was actually very good. These were different because usually at other places, they're crispy, battered, and sauced. Here, they're sauced. No crisp but it was still very good. -We ended up getting the chicken chow mein and the beef and vegetables. Now, when we ordered or server asked if we wanted mushroom with the chicken chow mein, we said yes. --When the food came out, they were made with the same exact vegetables and sauce for both dishes. The chicken chow mein was basically the same dish, but with chicken and the chow mein crackers. Not to mention there was one piece of sliced mushroom. That is not chow mein. ---the sauce was also very liquidy and bland. I don't recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food. read more

Where do I begin? The service is incredible and welcome the moment you get seated. Everyone is so kind. My waiter made me feel at home. The other customers and myself got our drinks and food so quickly. The pho was pho-nomenal! I live in the neighborhood and I can't believe I've been missing out. Ordered: Pho Biet (well done) and shrimp fried rice I wish I could've tried the egg rolls but it contains pork. I took the fried rice to go and just took a bite, and let me tell you, I'm writing this review quickly so I can indulge in my food. 8/10, only because I wish they had non pork egg rolls, otherwise food was next level!!! 1000000% recommend!!

I know that it's pretty strange to do a review over 30 years after eating at a restaurant. But I used to live on Tyler NE, and Que Viet was a favorite of mine and my future wife. Our favorite dishes were (of course) the egg rolls, the Vietnamese pancake, and the bowl of noodles with grilled pork and egg rolls (got to have more egg rolls). To this day, of all the really good Vietnamese food we've had in the Chicago area and in the San Francisco Bay area, plus in our travels, we've never had egg rolls as good as Que Viet. read more

I cannot believe that this place has been open since 1980 and I had never visited it (through delivery) until tonight! My wife and I and my mother had dinner together and we got food delivered (thank you Bite Squad!) and everything was fabulous! The egg rolls are truly the best ones I've ever had in Minnesota. The entrees were all delicious and so plentiful that we will have no problem putting together a dinner tomorrow night! After two bites my wife and I said we'd be calling on them again.......and again! The scales have been lifted from my eyes! read more

I got the hot and spicy chicken and the vegetable egg roll to go. First of all, the staff was very friendly on the phone and the food was done very quickly. The egg roll (or should I say egg rolls) were massive. Super crispy on the outside and perfect amount of filling with a nice flavor. Overall the meal was a huge portion and I'll definitely be going back! read more

Quite possibly my favorite eggroll salad in town - no doubt because of the excellent eggrolls! I also really, really love the chicken wings. A bit sweet and garlicky and so so good! read more

Honestly the only thing that is good there are the egg rolls! The rest is about equivalent to leann chin! $15 for a small container of flavorless fried rice! Stick with the egg rolls you will be fine!! read more

Had never been to Que Viet despite living in MPLS all my life. The place I used to go to get pho closed recently leaving me to look for a new place. Que Viet is it. Great staff,lot of fun to speak with while waiting for my take out order. I tried the sweet and sour shrimp and the meatball pho. Sweet and sour shrimp has the style of sweet and sour sauce I like, with peppers, tomatoes and pineapple in a rich sauce. Shrimp pieces are nicely battered with the batter staying on during frying, and they are good size shrimp. 1 order, which would feed 2 people very well, comes with white rice and approximately 8 pieces of shrimp. Meatball pho comes with bean shoots, cilantro, tripe, onion, lime wedges, and rice noodles. Meatballs are about 1 inch diameter and plenty filling, you get about 15 - 20 meatballs to a quart of broth. Did not try any of the deserts but the lady I spoke with was telling me how they were made, may have to try them next time. My experience was take out only but from what I saw it looks like a good place. Parking is kind of hard in front but it's right off 22nd and Johnson NE so side street might be available. read more

Me and a friend went to this restaurant this evening, and sat down to order our food. We said we were gonna think about ordering egg rolls, but were unsure. They served them to us anyway. Then, we got our drinks. The Vietnamese coffee had about three smalls sips worth of coffe, the rest was ice. The food was bland. read more

Friendly and quick, fresh stellar service. My lo mein was the best I've ever had. If you like Leann Chin this isn't the place for you because this is authentic and, again very fresh. The egg rolls are burrito sized and so crispy and light- not the heavy sink in your stomach kind. I will definitely be back to try everything on the menu. read more

Que Viet - Lo mein - Vietnamese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I love this place! Que Viet is a northeast staple and has been a favorite of mine most of my life. They can get very busy (so be a little expectant of that) however the service is usually always friendly and prompt! One of my favorite dishes they have is the Egg Foo Young, and it's usually big enough to split or take home for leftovers. They also have delicious egg rolls and their cream cheese wontons are amazing. They are also the home of the state fair legendary for the egg rolls, cream cheese wontons, and Vietnamese iced coffee! read more

I went around lunchtime and they were relatively busy. The lady at the counter was yelling something to people in the back. It was straight out of a old kung-fu movie. Despite the amount of people that were there, I was seated right away at my own little one chair table. I ordered the infamous egg roles and chicken chow mein. The egg roles were out within five minutes and the chow mein came before I could even start on the second roll. The egg rolls were as good as everyone has claimed. Heavy on the meat and very greasy. Nice crunchy wrapper. They come with a sweet vinegar dipping sauce too. Check out the pic I snapped. The chicken chow mein was surprisingly good. I wasn't expecting much since most of the reviews I read said the food wasn't that great with the exception of the egg rolls. The veggies were perfectly done, the chicken was just right and the sweet sauce was unlike any I have ever had. The rice was average at best. Snapped a pic of this too. This will be my only visit since I didn't see anything that begged me to come back again, but definitely worth the visit. There was a large group of people in the back that were all seated together, so I'm assuming you can call ahead for a large group. read more
