Diane's Place

"Diane’s Place, a landmark new restaurant for Hmong American cuisine, serves brunch and dinner in Northeast Minneapolis’s Food Building. The menu is robust, featuring a Hmong sausage with sticky rice; pandan French toast; a Spam and nori croissant; and an Asian chicken noodle soup, among other dishes. Whatever the time of day, swing by the pastry counter for a green scallion Danish with garlic butter or an ube coconut croissant. Book a table on Resy." - Stacy Brooks

"Diane’s Place, a landmark new restaurant for Hmong American cuisine from chef Diane Moua, is open for breakfast, lunch, and — as of November 9 — dinner service in Northeast Minneapolis. The daytime menu is robust, featuring a banh mi-esque chicken sandwich on croissant bread; Thai tea French toast; a Spam and nori croissant; and an Asian chicken noodle soup swimming with thick, springy, homemade rice noodles, among other dishes. (Or swing by the pastry counter for a sweet pork and salted egg yolk croissant, or a tart calamansi raspberry Danish.) For dinner, expect warming duck and Thai eggplant stew; Hmong pulled pork infused with bright ginger; seafood red curry soup; and more. Make reservations on Resy." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Diane’s Place — a landmark new restaurant for Hmong American cuisine in Northeast Minneapolis — has a killer cocktail menu. Chef Diane Moua’s deft pastry chef flourishes shine through: The “She-Eye,” a peachy, floral riff on a Sex on the Beach, is garnished with a sweet vanilla whirl. There’s a shot menu, too, with options like Hmong Tea with Red Locks whiskey, green tea, peach, and ginger." - Natalia Mendez

"This restaurant, from notable Hmong chef Diane Moua, is open all day. The morning menu includes a Spam and Nori croissant, heavily influenced by banh mi and served with city ham and chili-crisp aioli. A sunny side egg tops off the sandwich served between a sliced croissant." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
