"Known and loved for its state fair egg rolls — crispy and humongous and served, as it goes, on a stick — chef Dat Le of Que Viet is opening Em Que Viet in St. Paul. The latest addition to the Que Viet restaurants, which Le owns with his wife Lauren Le, the new location will offer traditional Vietnamese dishes like banh xeo, stuffed rice pancakes. But Que Viet’s egg rolls, folklorically voted best egg rolls in Minnesota, will remain at the heart of the menu. The new space, owned by Maria Nyugen and Brianna Le, was formerly a used book store — it’ll have restrooms decorated with phoenix and dragon themes, a full cocktail menu, and a bakery case. An opening date hasn’t been announced yet, but expect sometime this spring — the Star Tribune has the full story." - Justine Jones
