You open the door and they welcome you in with a greeting and big smiles. All the Filipinos coming in here call the owner Ate (big sister). Great ambience. We ordered a lot, as usual, and everything tastes the way they should. Lumpia Shanghai - 4 pcs per order - perfectly crunchy & tastes amazing- pork filling Pork bbq skewers - salty sweet Filipino style bbq - so good & tender Pancit bam-i - this one has shiitake mushrooms and so much umami Longganisa - one of the best longganizas we've ever had - they say they imported it from the Philippines, one of the few things they don't make from scratch- 4 pcs per order Lechon Kawali - nice & crunchy and a huge portion Sisig - this was a Saturday special- the flavors are on point but I prefer a crispy sisig Turon - 3 per order - philippine saba babana in a spring roll wrapper with caramelized sugar - so good & crunchy Halo-halo - probably one of the best ever - instead of just crushed ice & milk - they do ice with milk like in bingsu so it's very smooth & creamy plus the homemade ube ice cream & leche flan are outstanding If you've never tried Filipino food, this is where to go

I work with a diverse group of people, with many Ethnic backgrounds. And as much as I love (prefer) burgers and wraps, I have also come to enjoy rice and noodles. My doctor team had to work on Saturday and we get lunch "catered". Typical delivery options: JJs, Davani's, Chipolte, Vietnamese or Thai. But a new option was presented to the team: FILIPINO cuisine! My mind went "oh no, something new. (Insert grimace face). I know what to order at the regular places. Will I even like it?" On Thursday, I looked at the online menu and grabbed "A" (a Filipino coworker) and asked what things were. I'm not a fan of SPICY SPICY food (like Indian) and she assured me I was safe here. I asked about the noodles (glass and flour mixed with vegetables, similar to fried rice). She said they'll be dry but full of flavor. Lumpia are miniature egg rolls (thin, flaky wrapper). BBQ pork skewer (self explitory). I decided on Combo #1! Saturday: Holy smokes! This is my new favorite place. Let's start back with the noodles. Yes they are dry, but the catering box came with sauces (soy, sweet chili and HOT sauce). I added a little bit of soy just to add wetness to be able to swirl the fork, but the flavor is on point. The egg rolls..2 is not enough. Give me at least 6 and all the sweet chili sauce. Very addictive. The bbq pork skewer... If I didn't know any better, I would have thought it was steak. I was delighted to taste smokiness from the grill. I could imaging eating this at a 4th of July picnic. Combo #1 was filling. Half of the office ordered the combo #1 and the other half did the Combo #2 (Chicken Adabo). How good it tasted was all anyone could talk about the rest of the day between seeing patients. I have no doubt we'll be ordering this again in the future. Again, I was shown that trying new things isn't always a bad thing.

Overall, I really like food here! My favorite thing is the Bo kho. The sauce is flavorful and…read morehearty, and the meat is tender. I also recommend getting the egg noodles with duck. I liked that it was light yet flavorful. The Hainan chicken was basic and kind of disappointing. It's good for boiled chicken with fish sauce, which I do like eating together, but the rice was just regular white rice. Lastly, the chicken wings were crispy, but too salty. After trying so many dishes, I think Ai Hue has the most homey Vietnamese food I've had in MN. I love coming here because the owner is so kind and patient, and she told me her mom started the restaurant in 1998!

I always recommended it, if anyone's craving Matcha, a little pick me up, or a sweet treat. Service is always amazing. They are so happy to help and excited to see you. The owner is also so kind and so involved, it's amazing seeing café owned by a woman doing so well!! The hours it's the only thing that I would complain about, just because if it was up to me, I would want them open 24/7. I would double check their hours before coming. Also check their socials too, they do new flavors very often!! Parking on Grand Ave is always a little bit of a mess. But this place is so worth it!

I had the beef w saffron rice and onions, plantains and cabbage and tried all 3 sauces and every bite was delicious. The manager was very friendly and made some great recommendations.

So, no guests felt like they missed out on food, but it wasn't too much to fit in our fridge at the end. Perfect! As a side note, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Cambodian food is different than Thai or Vietnamese. I kind of thought they were all sort of the same (somewhat embarrassing...), but there are definitely different flavors going on here. It can be hard to spot this gem hidden on University Ave. in St. Paul, but it is definitely worth the trip!

If you're looking to try a dish that is uniquely Khmer, this soup is one of them. The soup has flavors from roasted rice and kreung, a fragrant blend of lemongrass, makrut lime leaves, garlic, galangal, tumeric. Cheng Heng's version had green beans, round green eggplants, spinach, young papaya, and kabocha squash, plus a protein choice (I chose chicken). The somlaw was hearty, and very filling. The portion was more than enough to share. I can imagine myself ordering this on a cold winter evening. Their menu was full of amazing Cambodian dishes, but unfortunately, I was one, otherwise I would have ordered other items like the Somlaw Machu Kreung, and Somlaw Machu Angkor as well. I would love to return but with company, so I can taste more of their dishes.
