Vietnam House Restaurant

02/07/2026 (been here several times but here's the current review finally) Banh Canh Gio Heo- Light and refreshing. Porky and herbacious. Ordered w/extra herbs and s/pickled onions. The pork hock was just amazing! Generous bowl of noodle soup. A MUST for sure. SLURP SLURP! Shrimp fried rice was charred beautifully and was perfectly seasoned- not too salty nor sweet

I was craving pho and stumbled to this place and give it a shot. This is my opinion about the food experience i had in this place. I ordered a combination pho large and spring rolls along with hot and spicy chicken and combination fried rice. Pho 3/5 : For my taste, it had too much of star anise flavor overpowering the beef broth, was it bad? No was it to my liking? No. I just wish it had more beef broth flavor, also for the protein it didn’t have much protein in the soup compared to other places Ive been. Spring rolls 3/5 : just typical spring rolls nothing special. Hot and spicy chicken 2/5 : To me it wasn’t even spicy at all and too much of lemon grass was overpowering other flavors. Combination fried rice 2/5 : Also lacking the flavor, it really didn’t have any flavor in them. Maybe kitchen was having a bad day?

Seated right away. Best egg rolls and fabulous pho with flank steak. Friendly server. Clean. Price was fair.

First impression we were welcomed with very friendly greeting and seated right away our server was able to help us with questions about menu items. Our food came out fairly fast. The downside is that the full had a lot of sodium in the broth and you could tell easily after a few bites. We ordered the chicken with the pho and the chicken was plain boiled. We ordered the house fried rice, extra spicy, which had pepper flakes in it, but was not actually spicy. The cream cheese wontons came out hot and gooey and perfect.

A little bit older of a place but I’m not docking points for that. The pho broth is a little bit on the sweeter side and not really our preference. Servers were good and attentive. Beef stew noodle soup was a solid 7/10. Everything here was super affordable, I would go back.

The staff and food were great! There was no wait to sit and our food was quick to come out! Our server kept our glasses full and was knowledgeable of the menu to help us choose our food. We were entertained by the fish tank.

Great spot for some of the most flavorful and authentic food I've had in a while. The bon bo hue is on point. The type of place where they remember you and will always greet you with a friendly smile. Everything is delicious, so try everything!

First time trying out this restaurant after a job interview nearby. Pho was tasty but sweeter than I expected. Good decent portions and prices, but seating and atmosphere could be improved. Will definitely come back!

Pho there always hits on a Sunday morning after a wild night. Noodles are to my texture where it's firm-soft. Broth is text book and on need chili oil and some lime. Cream cheese wontons are a good app while waiting Service is fast and there is always someone able to assist you!

Very solid Vietnamese restaurant! I'll say that it wouldn't be my first choice but everything had flavor and the portions were good. The service was fairly prompt, although we were one of the only tables in the restaurant at an off-hour time. The vibe gave very classic Asian food style feels and the place was pretty clean. I didn't like the fact that silverware was kept in a container at the tables with no covers. How am I supposed to know they're still clean? Would come again but probably order takeout!

Solid place for pho! Came on a Friday afternoon for lunch and ordered egg rolls, PH2 (rare beef), PH3 (rare beef and meatballs), and PH5 (rare beef and brisket). The egg rolls were fine, nothing incredibly memorable. But the pho broth was outstanding! And the pieces of rare beef were tender and delicious. A lot of the times they get chewy, but not here! The staff was so sweet and we received our food really quickly. Would absolutely come here again!

The service at this restaurant was the most memorable. That is the only reason why I am rating them two stars. You can tell this restaurant has loyal customers as they interact with many of them. I ordered the PH5, which was the pho that had beef brisket and rare beef. I counted probably 6-8 slices of beef total in my whole bowl. You can tell there's quite a bit of msg in the soup. The noodle quantity was alright, I ordered regular size so wasn't expecting too much. My husband ordered the seafood banh cuon and I enjoyed that one more than my pho. However, the soup was pretty oily. I rarely stop by BP, so I will likely not be coming back.

The PHO here is no joke. Best I've ever had. 4 of us all had different PHO and none of them were disappointing. There are 3 different sizes of PHO, which was great. Service was quick. It's no frills, but the who cares when you're eating the best PHO of your life!

Looked on yelp for a Vietnamese restaurant near my hotel and this one had the best rating so we headed over. It's in a strip mall and not very big. We were seated right away and looked over the menu. I had my usual, the fresh spring rolls with shrimp and the pho with flank and brisket. The rolls were fresh and delicious. I judge my Vietnamese by 2 thing, the fresh rolls and the pho broth. The rolls were good and fresh The pho was really good too. Broth was salty and full of flavor. Plenty of meat in there too. I washed it all down with a Vietnam iced coffee that was really good and refreshing Loved it

Try this place multiple times, but each time it doesnt get better. Today i try the bun bu hue with pho noodle and that did not taste good. The flavor is no where near bun bu hue. It taste like chicken broth and there wasnt a lot of meat. You can literally smell the bun bu hue water down and it taste water down. The pho broth was too sweet, not enough meat as well and the meatball tasted weird. The only good item we got was the spicy fried chicken with oysters sauce. That was the only good food that we got from the menu.

Just moved to the area. And wanted some pho - a little sweeter for my taste. But they had great options large menu to choose from and the serving staff are very attentive

So glad I found this little gem on accident. The place was buzzing when we got there. Waited a few minutes so they can clear a table for us. Very friendly family owned business. Service was great. We got the Bun Bo Xao with an egg roll on the side and Beef with mixed vegetables. Egg rolls were on the smaller side but was perfect with the noodle salad I got and delicious. The noodle salad was delicious with the caramelized beef, cucumbers, lettuce, bean sprouts and mint leaves. The beef dish looked delish but I didn't try it. All in all we had a great experience and we will definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

OK... I do not know what else to say, except that in this area west of the Mississippi in the Twin Cities, by far this is the best place to get Pho. The star anise, other spices, slow roasted beef bone broth, lean beef cooked in the steaming hot broth, portions and low prices are phenomenal. I'm giving this four stars not lightly. I have not given five stars for a review in almost a decade. And the reason I give four stars, is because the tea is a tea bag and not loose leaf like some establishments nearby and I wish that they had a Boba basic black milk tea option! These are the minute reasons why I would not give five stars. In all truth, I have not given a 5 star review in almost a decade. I wish I could give 4.8. The service is great! Constantly checking out water, napkins, utensils, and asking how the meal is. And everyone who works here that I have met are friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Sincerely my craving go to place for Pho. The hardest choice is trying to decide between a large and extra large! Best price this side of the Mississippi with the best portion sizes and quality!!!

I got take-it today for the first time. Egg rolls and shrimp fried rice. Easy and fast while i ran to get a tea next door! Love, thanks!

Great location with plenty of upfront parking as it's located in a plaza. Staff was very attentive and kind. Food was average. We got the combination pho. I've been here a few times before and it was not great but it was good. However this time the pho was sweet, sweeter than usual. I didn't enjoy it as much. We also got some eggrolls. They were also pretty average. But it was pricey for what you get. 2 for $5.75 is expensive, I think.

Good pho for a very good price. Great for a quick stop for good Vietnamese food. I would definitely come back to try their other pho options.

It was very good I loved the food and the pricing is affordable, nice envious and very comforting

I had the PH 6. It was phenomenal. The broth was flavorful and the quality of the meat was fantastic. The egg rolls also fresh and wonderful

Fast, cost efficient,food. Do not leave without ordering their fabulous egg rolls with fish sauce!

I always love coming here, the food is super tasty and the staff is super friendly. One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Brooklyn Park.

Got takeout with friends and the restaurant was busy so we figured it was gonna be good. I excitedly ordered hot and spicy chicken with lemongrass and was immediately disappointed once I saw it. I wish I ate there instead of take out because I would not have paid for it. Seems like there is more onions than chicken and it is soo bland. You can't even call this hot and spicy chicken with lemongrass. The oyster wings are okay, a little more flavor than the hot and spicy chicken but still pretty bland. My friend ordered lo mein and she also said, don't order it it's bland. I don't know what's going on but I'm very disappointed I spent $50 on food I don't even want to eat. Absolutely will not be eating here again unless to try the pho because maybe that's what's keeping them in business.

A friend suggested Vietnam House and I am so happy to have come here. They have a large menu with something for everyone. My favorite thing on the menu is their spring rolls. Their peanut sauce is delicious. With so many pho options, there are many combinations. The pho #2 is my absolute favorite. With all of the pho places in Minneapolis, Vietnam House is one of the best.

We ordered the pho, BBH, eggrolls, spring rolls and chicken wings. Everything was delicious and fresh. The pho was light and full of flavor and hands down my favorite place to eat BBH in the area.

The service at the restaurant is one of the worst I have ever experienced in my life. 1. The website is outdated in terms of prices. when I simply told the lady at the front desk the website was wrong, she immediately grabbed the food I was about to pay for saying "you don't have to eat it".

I absolutely love this place and I mean I love it. Every since a buddy of mine introduced me to this place I eat here at least once a week. The customer service is always on point and they are quite friendly in here. My buddy swears by the Pho but it's the house special Pad Thai for me. I swear I die and go to heaven every time I eat it. The noodles are cooked a perfect al dente and the flavor this dish packs is phenomenal. I'm typing this review as I wait for my weekly fix lol but you gotta here and try this place.

I stopped by here when I was heading out of Minneapolis and I am glad I did. I only ordered the regular bowl of pho and I'm glad I did. The serving size is a good amount. I've been to many different pho places in other places and still have my favorites, but this place is definitely worth going to if you are in the area and have that pho craving. It was pretty busy in there but the service was fast and the workers there are very attentive. The pho itself was great. Theres some places that have broth that you have to add a bunch of hoisin sauce for flavor, but for me, this place was the perfect blend that no sauce was necessary. They gave a plate of veggie with it and I dumped it all in there with jalepenos and it was a good blend. Definietly squeeze the lime in there for the additional tang. Would definitely recommend.

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).

Coming from the west coast I was determined to find a decent pho! Tons of recommendations and none of them were for Vietnam house. Wasn't until I asked my nail lady that she told me go here! I am so glad I did!!!! Really good and will be my go to from now on!

Their pho selections are very good. As well as their spring rolls. It's hard to disagree with anything on their menu. Great place!

After just one visit to Vietnam House, my taste buds will testify that wings are their thing and the sauce is the boss! My friend and I had Spicy Fried Oyster Chicken Wings and Pho Bowl #1 from this absolute hidden gem in Brooklyn Park I know it's a lot of new flavors and words and dishes, but trust me. The chicken is dynamite and the entrees are "pho" real Pretty good prices, fantastic food!

One of my top 5 places for pho around the twin cities. I've been coming here for over 10 years now.

A very mediocre pho restaurant. Nothing amazing. For the price it's not bad, but I do think it can go down in price a little more. Since I live nearby then I come here often, but I much prefer Lotus Maple Grove. It's a little further away but IMO the pho is much better.

Love this place. Bon is awesome, Pho is incredible as well. You can't go wrong with anything on this menu!!

The Pho and the egg rolls was super tasty! We did take out, so I ordered before seeing the inside. The place was PACKED! Parking is not an issue as this is located in a little strip mall. I was not a fan of the inside, but the food was GOOD! The egg rolls were super crispy and tasty. Smaller than my liking! The Pho was as expected! I ordered the Brisket Pho and the Veggie Pho. Although, the Veggie pho was good, the Brisket Pho was more flavorful! I also ordered the Special House fried rice which was not my fav, it was mediocre. But I will be back for the Pho! This is my new spot for Pho! I don't have to drive across town to have something tasty. Now I need to try more things on the menu! Just picked up some Pho today and the service was not so good.. It's been 2 not so great experiences

Rule people don't put your money in your hand put it on the counter when giving change back

Great food, service and prices. There's never any regrets from attending this restaurant.

Food is affordable and taste good! I've ordered their pho, spicy chicken wings, banh mi sandwiches, and pork fried rice and all were flavorful. It's also conveniently located near my house so my husband and I order there frequently. There is always a lot of parking space available as well.

I'm new to the area and stopped in here a couple of times. Lo mein is good, as is the spring roll. Prices are good. Each time I was there there was a group of loud teens which was so annoying and took away from the dining experience. Not sure what the owners can do about that, but it would cause me not to stay next time. I will probably go here again because of the good prices, but it's not so good that I would make a special effort to go here.

Place is bussin. Pho on point. Bun bo hue in point. Service is quick. Place is packed but have plenty of room for bigger parties.

I love iPho in St Paul, and this is like the iPho of Brooklyn Park. It is a very popular Vietnamese place in an ostensibly unremarkable sea of strip malls and big box stores. But that's not what matters; what matters is very satisfying food at very reasonable prices. I was there at 3pm on a Saturday and it was packed. I have it on authority that it is always busy there, but we were able to land a table. We all got pho and were all satisfied with what we got. My friends noted the yumminess of the bits of tendon they got. Mostly, I thought my beef pho tasted exactly as good as what I get at iPho. I wouldn't change a thing about that. We got spring rolls as well, and I wasn't too big a fan of the sauce. My friends thought it was fine though. I'm not in this area often, but I suspect that if I were, I'd be stopping in for great pho on the reg'.

Honestly surprised this place has 4 stars, but maybe it's for a specialty dish or something. We ordered the Bun Bo Hue and the Pho Dac Biet and neither were impressive. The BBH was bland and they didn't give a lot of meat at all. And when I mean hardly any meat, I mean a total of 3 paper thin slices of brisket and then a slice of the Vietnamese meatloaf (cha lua). Their lack of meat was apparent in the broth which was almost clear with barely any of the usual meaty flavor, a tiny splash of chili oil, and not spicy at all. This is probably the worst bowl of BBH I've had around the Twin Cities. My husband got the Pho Dac Biet and while it did have the flavors of the spice, the spices were definitely left in the broth too long and overpowered the flavor of the broth itself. It didn't have that usual comforting pho broth flavor. The only upside here on the Pho Dac Biet is that they have a good amount of meat with the order. It wasn't more than most places give, but compared to the scarcity of the BBH the Pho Dac Biet was extremely generous. All in all, probably won't make this my usual Viet food spot. I'll give them another try for one of their other dishes, but their soups were a no go for me.

Got the spring rolls which were clearly made some time ago because the wrapper was dry. The filling was dry sliced pork with shredded iceberg lettuce with noodles. Plain and boring. I also got the Chicken and broccoli. The sauce was bland and the chicken was extremely dry. I had my friend try it as well and agreed with me. Interior is your typical strip mall There are too many other restaurants like this That are really good so don't bother with this one.

Good! Just good!! The service is so nice and the atmosphere is homey, I feel like the owners are brining us into their living room for a family meal. Walking you immediately get the sense this is going to be a good meal, after ordering all the fixings are conveniently on the table and you sit in anticipation. I have the traditional beef pho and it was very tasty, a little heavy on the noodles, but the broth and beef was very good! It's a smaller place, family feel, great food!

Soooo it was pretty packed which didn't surprise me but we were still seated in a timely manner, their service was great and I have never been disappointed by their dishes! Butttt the water tasted kind of funny like it was just served out of the tab, I don't know I can be really finicky when it comes to water but overall I had a great experience with my auntie will always come back since it's so close to where I live lol!

I've been going here before the current Owners right now. Probably been 12 years now. My favorite spot for pho . Quick and fast service . The owners are super friendly and will remember you if you come in a lot.

Best Vietnamese food in town. Best customer service ever. Hot and spicy chicken, egg rolls, and fried rice are my favorites. The lunch specials are where its at. I only wish they were open Mondays.

Yes! My people doing Pho the right way! Glad I stumbled upon this place for lunch. I was with a coworker who discovered his phone was stolen right as we sat down, so he darted out to our last location to check and left me sitting there. I ordered the appetizer sampler which consisted of one egg roll, cream cheese wontons, and chicken wings. The couple working there were so darn friendly. I explained what happened, they just let me sit and wait and checked on me often. When my coworker returned, mad and phone-less, I made him order a bowl of Pho to sooth his soul. I opted for the Bún bò Hu. Food all came really quickly. The appetizers were okay, typical fried food. Most likely previously frozen. The Bún bò Hu was decent too, but I found myself wishing for more depth in the broth, and more tendon. I love that stuff. I kept stealing sips of the Pho though. I saw a couple reviews that said it was too sweet, but they must have changed up their recipe. I don't like a sweet broth, and I didn't find it sweet at all. Nice clear broth, meaty depth, and wonderful Pho aroma of spices and herbs. It was excellent. It reminded me of my mom's, and Viet moms make the best! I bought a few Bánh Mì sandwiches to go. These were delicious. The service definitely bumped this review to a 4 star. I'm sad to say this, but many Asian restaurants I visit have pretty horrendous service. You kinda go in expecting stank face. Not here though. Very friendly and attentive service. I'm coming back.

Didn't mean to give your Business a bad rating or anything but found this in our To go Fries Rice. Aluminum Foil.

Delicious Bun Mi!!!! This place is an unassuming hole in the wall In the not very amazing town of Brooklyn Park. But I'll be back because it's amazing. .. (And the servers are beautiful. ) can I say that?

This place is outstanding. Pho #1 - all the meat styles. Broth was really nice. Really rich with nice fat content floating on top. Tender meats. Good pricing. Standard service. Welcoming staff. Highly recommend.

Right off the bat, it's a small crowded restaurant. I went around 11 am, and most of the tables were seated. After standing for about five minutes we were seated. Instead of seating us at a booth, they seated us at three connecting tables when I only had a party of two, including myself. Another five minutes, they decided to move us from the table since they needed to seat a bigger party. Caused me to feel a bit annoyed. After being seated to the new table, they also forgot to bring water. After requesting for water and ordered our food, appetizer came out first (about 10-15mins.) Since it was super busy, I can see why it awhile for our entrees. I was pleasantly satisfied with my bun bo xao dish. However, I don't think I'll come back to the restaurant unless I'm around the area.

I just want to thank the Lord for showing me such a delicious place! I'm so annoyed that I went to school for 2 years here and I JUST discovered it! It's amazing :) Honestly, no words to describe it! I probably say that about every pho place I go to, but this one is lowkey my new favorite! The broth is yummy, they give me a looooot or noodles, and the meat is A+! They have 3 sizes for pho: regular, large & extra large. I always get the large and it's like a super bowl of deliciousness. It's not very expensive either, I think around $10 total. The customer service is great and the employees are friendly, funny, and kind! I want to learn Vietnamese because these are the kind of people I'd be friends with.. haha. There's lots of tables to sit and I can see that they're very popular around here. They also do takeout if you'd rather eat at home. When you finish your meal, you get a fortune cookie and you can pop in next door for a bubble tea, #winning !

In the last two times I was there I thought the short waitress with glasses was unfriendly as I'm standing there waiting to be seat it she just look at you and pointed at the table for me to sit and when my pho arrived I've flagged her down to ask fir more line slice all she yes you need something. like really ? doesn't make you feel welcome and I was there well after lunch hours I thought the broth was so so as far as the flavor I used to like going there but now I think I'll stay away for a while there's other pho restaurants I can give my money to .
