There were good things and not-so-good things about our visit to Vietnam House. Overall, it is not the best place for Vietnamese.
The good: They have different sizes of pho, which is rare and I always appreciate being able to get a smaller size along with an appetizer. Their prices are pretty good too! The Vietnamese iced coffee was tasty and served in the little metal filter with the cup of ice on the side. I only wish it was a slightly larger portion, but my husband loved it. They also offer an appetizer sampler which comes with an eggroll, wings, and cream cheese wontons, and I loved that because it's always so hard to decide what app to get.
The front desk hostess was also friendly and funny, which is always nice!
The not as good: The eggrolls were a letdown. Usually, Vietnamese eggrolls are the best of any eggroll out there, but these were small and looked and tasted like they came from the freezer aisle. The pho was decent, but not the best I've had or even in the top 5, as it was fairly bland. Overall, our food was fine, but nothing to write home about.
As far as suburban pho goes, I prefer MT Noodles in Brooklyn Park, Gion in New Hope, and Pho 400 in St. Anthony (I have heard the wings at the latter are fantastic as well but have not gotten around to trying them yet).
