    I've been on a nearby soup hunt since it's been so darn cold! I totally forgot about Quang until recently when I couldn't bare to walk further than 4 blocks away from my apartment, anyone else already want the cold to be done?? Brought my sister here on a Monday afternoon at around 1pm. While it was busy for a later lunch, it wasn't jam-packed, so we got seated right away.The host/server was super fast. Gave us waters and took our order within 5 minutes of being seated. I got the Vegetarian Noodle soup and she got the Pork and Beef Dumpling soup. Both were awesome! I don't think my sister looked up until she was almost done with hers. As usually, Thai basil, bean sprouts, jalapeños, and lime are served with the soup as well as hoisen, sriracha, fish sauce, and whatever on the table to in order to make your soup fit you. I always like this because I can make it as spicy as I like! The broth was very flavorful, tasty, and not too salty. All the veggies in mine still had a little crunch to them; mushy veggies are not my friend. Also the portions are large for the regular size soup, I had enough for another meal and at $7.95 you can't get much cheaper. I saw a table across the way order the large portion, it was bigger than my torso! Prepare for epicness with that! The service was extremely fast yet polite. The bill didn't say anything legible on it, but we brought it to the counter and paid the correct amount. Everyone in there was eating soup and I suggest you do too especially when it's cold!

    It's an ok restaurant. Foods are great, but service was bad. Waitresses rather walk by and not refill our drinks and refilled others. After I received my check, I went up to the cashier to pay for our food that we order, I asked the cashier if I can get a box to go and all he said that it's was only the shelf. I was thinking to myself that it's not right for me to grab it myself but have them do it but they didnt, so I just walk away and just didn't bother to asked them anymore for it. Was there today 02/21/15. I don't think I will ever return to this restaurant.

    If I wasn't now a vegetarian and if I ignore the fact that I've had so much amazing Viet food back in Boston, then I would've rated this place 4 stars. In my opinion, it's a pretty good restaurant here in the TC. However, my newly found taste buds sets this place at 3 stars. They have a really extensive menu including a variety of pho, rice plates, sitr-frys, appetizers, etc. So, they could probably satisfy your Vietnamese food cravings, whatever that might be. The pho broth tastes better than places I've tried in St. Paul, which tend to be sweet (why?!?!) and the portions are fair. They also offer vegetarian variations of your favs, but they're just alright. I think the mock duck stir-fry with broken rice I ordered last time came with a re-adapted maggi sauce...not sure how I feel about that. I remember I liked their meat eggrolls though. They were pretty tasty and, with good reason, are highly regarded. Drawbacks: - They get really packed on the weekends, so be prepared to wait for a table and crazy service. One time I took my nieces here for lunch and we waited 30 minutes to get our order taken and another hour to get our food. - The two parking lots that hug the restaurant are small and crowded. - Service is luck of the draw. If you're lucky, you'll get the buff guy with the tattoos. He's seriously ELITE! I don't know his name but he's probably the 2nd best server I've ever seen in my life.

    Quang is my go-to restaurant in the Twin Cities when I want pho. It is the best I've had in the Twin Cities. It is normally a busy place, but I've never waited more than a few minutes for a table.

  • Kristi C.

    My first pho experience. Beef & meatball, I thought the broth had nice flavor. Our server was helpful and enthusiastically explained the basics to us newbies. Lots of families and couples enjoying all kinds of dishes, the place was hoppin'.

  • Nikola S.

    I ordered the #301 grilled beef salad. I was highly disappointed that most of the meat was chewy, filled with fat , and unable to be eaten. Yes, the portion size was generous, but what difference does it make if you can't chew the meat? After a quarter of it was gone, I wondered if I should even eat the rest. I will not be back..

  • Lindsey D.

    The food was ok. Not bad and great price. The menu is rough if you only speak English. The service sucked. Waitress seats two of us and we say we are waiting for a third. She hands us menus and asks us to order. We tell her we want to wait. 5min later, as our third buddy is taking her coat off to sit the waitress comes back and asks us to order. So we tell her we need a min. We get ONE minute. So I just order something random. It comes to the table in 5 min. The whole time I just felt rushed. The cashier was rude. Really rude. It just wasn't a good experience. And there is so much Pho in this neighborhood. Pho 79 is great! And polite! And their menu has pictures of everything.

  • David C.

    Short and to the point. This is great food at a very reasonable price. The only bad part is that is an hour and a half or be to get there for me.

  • LynAnne E.

    I love everything on the menu here except for the fried sweet potato appetizer. Cold minnesota winter means steaming hot bowls of pho need to happen. Service is quick and borders on rude sometimes, but seriously, I'm not here for service.

  • Olivia T.

    So good. My family goes here probably once every two weeks or more. It's delicious! And everyone is super nice. The service isn't always great but that's because they're consistently so busy and just have to many people and tables to get through but they're all great and the food is so worth it.

  • Jonathan R.

    Great food. Quite possibly the worst service I have ever encountered. To start we ordered spring rolls which were great! We also ordered our entrees at the same time. We got Pork Pho and a Bahn Mi sandwich. We got our Bahn Mi relatively fast, the Pho on the other hand came out 5 minutes later. Not a massive problem, besides the fact that the table sitting behind us ordered the exact same Pho and received it five minutes before us??? When they ordered a four course meal ten minutes after us?? I was slightly confused to say the least. I'm not the person to usually say anything but that really had me. When I did ask her about it she instantly came up with excuse after excuse. None of which explained why they got there food before us. I have no problem with reasons for things I work in the industry, but to not apologize or offer to do anything about an upset costumer. Not ok!! So no tip for you...... sorry! Next time it will be take out.

    Quang is in our top fave favorite "go to" restaurants. What an efficient and well run place! The staff are friendly and they work very cohesively together. The environment is clean and lively. So many dishes we love, but our top picks are the spring rolls, cream cheese wontons, iced coffee with condensed milk, lo mein, and pho.

  • Jessie A.

    Honestly, I have read many reviews about less than exemplary services at Quang Restaurant and while I agree that it isn't always 100% AMAZING.........the service is not bad. I always get my food quickly, even on packed days, and maybe because my family is considered a regular I find that the staff is always friendly and helpful. Most of the servers know our order right off the bat! There isn't a dish that I have had that has been less than delicious. I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS recommend Quang restaurant to my friends. Keep up the good work :) We've had Vietnamese food on both coasts of the US and Quang Restaurant blows those places out of the water. Now if I make it to Vietnam I will let everyone know ;)

  • Mia T.

    Quang really is catering to a different crowd than back in the days, but that's ok . Their food is good (even though probably way too much MSG). It always comes out within 5 minutes. It's a busy, fast-paced- eat and go place so the wait staff will usually sits, take your order, leave you a check and go. They're busy and it's not those sort of restaurants so as long as I get my food, it's all good.

  • Tian Q.

    It does NOT mean that Quang has the most legit Vietnamese food just because it's fucking crammed with asian people all the time, it just reminds me of a fallout shelter. Food: -#108 Banh Tom Chien (fried shrimp and sweet battered yams), pretty predictable and exactly how it sounds; tasted fine but again I'd have a hard time fathom how much you've fucked up if you can't make FRIED food taste good -#505 Pho Tai (basic pho), this fell short of my expectations, a little too bland and ordinary and non-magical for how much people have raved about this place -#213 Che Thuan (mung bean dessert with dried longan, seaweed and coconut milk), I fucking love asian desserts Service: -Quick despite the whole people-mountain-people-sea deal, kudos to our fragile-looking but agile waiter boy Overall, Quang may not have the best Vietnamese food, but it's pretty good considering how they've kept their prices low and portions large, good bang for the buck.

    Despite having moved away from MN, I still make it a point to stop at Quang during EVERY visit back. It is simply THAT good! Faves: spring rolls and wonton egg noodle soup.

  • Dave L.

    The wonton noodle soup was really good. The eggrolls were also bomb digity bomb bomb. This place is legit for vietnamese food.

  • Elizabeth J.

    The food is consistent and the wait staff is always on the move. You'll never catch anyone being lazy on the job here. If you are coming for the first time - avoid weekends, as it is always busy.

    ON THE MARK Visiting from Montana and a local friend took me here. Fabulous! Pho (#503) was great (I opted out of the tripe and tendon). Eggrolls were also terrific. It was packed on a Friday night, but service was fast and friendly. Big servings and prices very reasonable.

    (5)
  • Sam C.

    It was average in service and also in pho. The broth was clean but the other ingredients were lacking freshness and flavor.

  • Anne T.

    Probably the best spring rolls I have ever had. Their pho is amazing. Service is pretty good, food is very fresh and well priced. They have such a huge menu, I'm going to keep coming back to try all the items that sound good! Best Vietnamese restaurant in the Twin Cities.

  • Risa Y.

    Quang's has known to be GOOD and as anyone's favorite Viet place in Minnesota for years and years... ...and it's still consistently good delicious Viet food, fast friendly service, and at a great location. This is the Vietnamese restaurant I do recommend to others.... definitely the best on our famous Eat Street on Nicollet in Minneapolis. I have a couple of bff's who are Vietnamese and they recommend this restaurant highly, too. When my good friends who are native Vietnamese say it's good. It has to be good.. I trust their judgement! I always have the Grilled Shrimp Rice Vermacelli Salad or the Grilled Pork over broken rice..my favorite dishes here. 4 stars rating ..and only reason I can not rate Quang's a 5 is because, they do use MSG in the soups, and I'm MSG sensitive....so I can't eat their soups. I go to another restaurant for Viet/Thai soups (my fave is Ruby Thai @ MOA)...that is why my rating is 4 stars... Please note - 4 stars is excellent. I am a fan..I love that I can eat the flavorful salads and broken rice dishes with grilled meats or shrimp even with my MSG sensitivity.

    JOY. As my first experience with Vietnamese food, Quang will always be close to my heart. Eat in, take it to go or now due to the amazing BITE SQUAD get it delivered. It's always a winner. The food is wonderful and so are the prices. They have friendly staff to help with the busy crowds and plenty of seating for everyone! Highlights: 310.

    I was brought here by a friend and wished that I would have found it sooner. Their pad thai and spring rolls were the best that I have had in Minneapolis.

  • BleepBloop P.

    This place is fine, but one of the female cashiers is so off-putting and unfriendly that it makes me never want to eat there. It's a young woman who has absolutely no happiness in her voice or face and even seems annoyed you (whether you're Asian or not) are giving the place business. If the food were spectacular, I might suffer through it, but not when better (and friendlier) alternatives surround it (Pho 79 and My Huong).

  • Christa B.

    I've been here a few times. Never to return. This place has a 0% interpersonal set of skills. No accommodations for requests. Looks at you with dollar signs, no human activity. I could care less how good the food "may" be.

  • Jason W.

    It took me awhile to get to Quangs mainly because it was too hard to try something other than Pho Tau Bay and Pho 79 for my Pho cravings which happen quite frequently. I've read many reviews going back and forth on who has the better pho so I was pretty excited to check this place out. I really liked the setup and atmosphere of Quangs. Clean large room with plenty of space between the diners. I did prefer sitting in the booth up against the wall. I hear a lot about the service being sub-par but that wasn't my experience today. * I was seated promptly * My order was taken promptly *My Food was delivered promptly *My Bill was delivered *I was able to pay promptly On to the food! Ordered the shredded pork spring rolls just because I've never had them before and thought they were good. Especially with the cup of Nouc Cham they give you (fish sauce, sugar, chili flakes, water, garlic and lime) A bit different from the run of the mill spring rolls. Nice bite to them but It was missing the mint which I like because of the fresh profile it gives. I ordered the #503 which I call the everything Pho. Tripe, beef balls, tendon, brisket. I didn't think it could get better the PTB or Pho79 as far as the broth goes but I think Quangs wins here. It was super clear and had clean deep flavors with a nice aroma. I was liking this. Where Quangs wins in the broth department they lose in the fixing department. Although I thought the beef balls reigned above the others; the tendon and tripe were undercooked. A nice piece of tendon will melt in your mouth; this was slightly chewy. The tripe was also under cooked and chewy. It didn't ruin my meal but if I'm being critical, which I am, I must point this out. I'm definitely a fan and will add Quangs into my rotation. Looking to compare the broken rice dishes next!

    Why are so many Asian restaurants closed on Sunday, the very day when we most desire it after a late Saturday night out and no desire to cook? Thankfully, Quang breaks the mold on that. I was recommended this place as being the best Vietnamese in the Twin Cities by a Vietnamese-American girl who is a great chef herself, and I was not disappointed in my first of hopefully many future trips here. On Sunday this place was packed with a very wide array of people from older Minnesotans and families to Vietnamese regulars young and old. The decor is casually inviting, with big windows and pretty large space in general, it looks like it may have been a Perkins in a former life. The service was very good, the staff had very good English and were on top of getting everyone in the long line served quickly. They have a bakery counter that sells bread, bahn mis, and various other things to go such as mochi in ginger syrup, vietnamese coffee and bubble teas. Many baked items were sold out by the time I was there around 2 pm, which I will take as a good sign. The food is very cheap and delicious. I had the pork chop, which is a very large thin cut of pork very well-seasoned served with especially tasty broken rice for about $7. The egg rolls are also very generous and good (meaty), and my wife had the pad thai which she said was very good. There is a parking lot, which was full, but parking on the street very close was easy. Delivery is possible through BiteSquad.

    Quang has become my new go to Asian Restaurant - I love everything about this place! Located in the Whittier neighborhood, Quang has a lot of good competition, but based on their friendly, efficient service, pleasant, clean dining environment, and consistently great food, it's no surprised the place is always packed. I love the bun (vermicelli noodle salads). The tangy sauce poured over the briny pickled veggies and tender noodles makes a protein almost unnecessary. But if I have to choose, I would definitely go with mildly sweet flavored sugar cane shrimp - this unique protein option is mince shrimp, wrapped around a sugar cane that boasts lightly crisp outer shell. In addition, the pho offers well developed meaty broth, with perfectly toothsome noodles and tender, juicy beef. All in all, I really love Quang! If you're ever on eat street, check it out!

  • Ronnie G.

    One more Star! Why? Because it's super infant/kid friendly. Being a new parent, I am now on the hunt for awesome restaurants that accommodate babies. Quang is one of them. Aside from the hum and drum of the restaurant, they gave us a carseat holder to seat baby G. It's the little things my friends.

  • Dee N.

    This is my favorite place for pho. They really do have great selections of tasty phos. Just keep in mind that if you expect any hospitality from a server here, you will be greatly disappointed.

  • Katrina O.

    The best vietnamese place i've found so far since moving from CA. They are always busy but the wait is never too long since it's such a big place. Love their egg rolls, spring rolls, pho, and bun salads. This is my go to place when I don't know where to eat. Food is also super affordable!

  • Sammy S.

    Like Annie D, "Quang's" just flows more naturally for me so don't get confused. Quang's is one of my favorite restaurants, and boasts probably my favorite meal in Minneapolis: Spring Rolls #101 and Vegetable Pho #525. BEST SPRING ROLLS IN THE WORLD. And yes, I feel as though caps are a necessity because I really need you to hear me on this. The Pho (and when I say "The Pho" I'm talking about #525 since that's the only one I've had, and ever need to have) is healthy, filling, clean, fresh, and comes out steaming hot. The vegetables are so beautiful and cooked perfectly. The broth is delicious and soothing, and I heat it up a little bit with their chili oil. Add in a couple jalapenos & bean sprouts and the best meal ever is complete. I can literally feel myself getting healthier while eating this dish. I could eat this meal every day, although that technically isn't possible since they are closed on Tuesdays. Random day, I know, but I don't blame them! One visit here and you'll see that this restaurant works their behind off to get you in, get you full & satisfied, then get you out. Don't let the hustle and bustle turn you away, because Quang's the little engine that not only could but does. My tummy and I love you, Quang's!

  • William G.

    The Bun Rieu is still great and keeps me coming back every week end, but they really need to work on their customer relations. I know that they are busy but they could try and greet you with a smile rather than a scowl and thank you when you leave. Recently I was there and they started removing our dishes while we were still eating. If their Bun Rieu were not so fantastic I would probably stop going there.

  • Ursula M.

    This seems like the place to be on a Sunday afternoon! The pho was great, the bubble tea delicious and the egg rolls spectacular! Our waitress was very knowledgeable and attentive, even on a super busy day. I would not return to Minneapolis and not come back here!

  • Bob D.

    This is our once-a-week restaurant for Vietnamese. The food is always excellent, they respect vegetarians (when you order a veggie dish, you get a soy-based dipping sauce instead of the usual fish sauce-based sauce) and the portions are huge. I always plan to take home half of whatever I order, but I usually end up eating all of it because it tastes so great. Try the Banh Tom Chien sometime--sweet battered yams and (unshelled) shrimps. The Pho is great here (although there are plenty of great places for Pho in the neighborhood). Banh Mi sandwiches are excellent. My personal favorite is Bun Chay. It's a vegetarian salad with rice noodles, mock duck, tofu and herbs and it's wonderful. Service is fast and efficient. A few on the wait staff speak limited English, so don't expect them to be chatty. That's a big plus in my book. Update: I originally gave Quang five stars, but the surly cashiers and the TERRIBLE remodel have lowered our opinion of the place. Ask the crabby guy or the crabby woman at the register for a receipt and they act like you've insulted them. And getting a polite "thank you" or a smile? Not likely. Quang, you're going in the wrong direction.

  • Keith K.

    Quang has the best Pho I have tasted anywhere. My wife and I come here a few times a month and thry the different Pho combinations, spring rolls and other appetizers. The food is always exemplary and the service good. Ambiance is a bit like a cafeteria, but with the best Vietnamese food and incredibly low prices - who can ask for more?

    (5)
  • Chris E.

    For it's category: inexpensive, Vietnamese comfort food, Quang is the best. I've been here many times and expect to continue that trend in perpetuity. I'll usually start with the freshest spring rolls around, then go straight for the Pho Tai. Depending on how ambitious I'm feeling, I might get the large (there are two sizes), but be warned: the large is LARGE. It's best with all the fixins and a healthy squeeze of Sriracha and hoisin sauce. The perfect steamy soup for a chilly Minnesota day. The food is great, as most reviews here will attest. So let's talk logistics. It's always packed (with lots of Asians: a good sign for an Asian restaurant), but the space is managed well. I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a table no matter how long the line. The servers are always prompt and friendly. Need more water, extra limes for your Pho? Done and done, in no time flat. Before you know it, you're paying up front at the counter and your visit is over, leaving you with a happy belly and thoughts of returning as soon as possible. Keep in mind: they are closed on Tuesday. I've forgotten this a few times and was forced to walk away in a sad stupor.

    The beef pho is loaded with meatballs. I tried the beef salad, some kind of meatballs on 2 skewers, equally fantastic. I love the atmosphere, not dark, and very upbeat. Great server and we managed to just beat the lunch crowd. I'm impressed with the counter that seems to be loaded with homemade sweets, though I have no idea what they are. I'm not a pho expert yet, but I'm starting to get cravings for it in this weather.

    I thought Quang Restuarant was really good. Great Pho and despite what yelpers were saying I thought service was good, not great but good. Very family friendly place. I will definitely be going back.

    Quang is a pho lovers dream. They have a large variety, the portions are HUGE, (plus you can pay an extra $2 to get an absolutely gigantic bowl), the prices are reasonable, and the service is fast! The other items on their menu are decent as well, the bubble tea is delicious and their special weekend soups are worth the busy restaurant. The place always seems busy. If you go on a weekend, expect to wait a little while. The pho is very good. I do feel like the quality suffers a little bit because of the volume they make, but I really can't complain, it's delicious! The restaurant itself is pretty large and has nice booths and tables to sit at, but all of the times I have been there it has been very loud and bustling. The servers ares till very good, but do not have a lot of extra time as they always seem to be rushing around. For a casual lunch/dinner this atmosphere is just fine, and it usually means the food is good! Overall, Quang is a great place for pho, I will definitely continue to go back!

  • Elle L.

    1 star for HORRIBLE SERVICE! Food is decent, but no matter how great the food is, the service must top that. Waited forever to be seated. I get that they're busy at times, but they had 3 people behind the counter, 2 people at the host stand. and just a cluster mess in the entrance. The cashier clerks were not PLEASANT WHATSOEVER! Very rude. no thank you's after people paid. AND when finally seated, took a long time for orders to be taken. Once we got our food, took forever to track down a waiter, especially to refill water/drinks. will not be going here in the future.

    Quang is without a doubt my go to place for all things delicious and Vietnamese. The egg rolls are the standard to which I compare all other egg rolls. My favorites are the pho with sliced beef, Bun salad with grilled beef and egg roll, or the shrimp and pork dumpling soup with roast pork (but make sure to ask for noodles as this soup doesn't come with then on its own). I eat here 2-3 times a month, but I'd eat here everyday if I could.

  • Hale L.

    When we crave for Vietnamese food and only have loose change in our pocket, we head on over to Quang's. I think this is the best Vietnamese restaurant for the price. High value; low cost. The Pho is Phantastic! It is a comforting dish during cold winter weather. I order the #505 fresh sliced beef Pho and the beef is NOT full of fat. Wifey likes the #308 vermicelli salad with egg rolls. Egg rolls are crunchy fresh. Dare I say the price is too cheap? I mean $8.00 for a large bowl of brothy goodness is practically a steal! Service is quick. By the time I take my coat off, the meal is already at the table. Good thing I don't work near this place or I'd be tossing dollar bills at the servers like a gentleman in a club of ill repute.

    I'm from California, so you'd think I know pho like the back of my hand since all the towns I lived in had at least one good vietnamese joint int it. I thought I'd had the best pho when I went to Mr. Pho in O-side...but damn was I wrong... Quang's is hands down the best pho place I've ever been to. It's superb in all the criteria I use for rating: the broth, the portion, the speed of the service. Everything just hits the spot for me. I highly highly recommend this place. To me, this is as good as it gets...at least until I find another place that's worthy of comparing with this one.

  • Nathan W.

    I absolutely loved this place. It's exactly how a true Vietnamese restaurant should be. I ordered the traditional Pho and it was super delicious. The broth was dense and sooooo good. They also brought the correct garnishes with the dish. I will be back.

  • Kat A.

    Oh Quang's glad you rang. We went on a busy Friday night and this place was packed. I had a noodle salad with an egg roll. The portions we ordered were huge and enjoyed. I can't wait to come back and have Pho! Now let's be real, you go to Quang's for the food, not the service. The waters were on the table before we sat down and they asked for our order 30seconds later. One of us got her food first them we waited for 7 minutes until our food showed up minus the sauce it usually comes with but that showed up two minutes later. Our waters sat empty until we were almost finished. Our table was cleared and flipped by the time we made it over to the cash register. Now if you are like me, you can totally appreciate this level of efficient service so maybe you do go to marvel at how the smooth, coordinated and organized service system is operating but if you want slower more attentive service go when it isn't busy.

    Décor: Quite a large space, with both booth and table seating. When I came in on a weekend lunch, the place was quite busy but we got a table with no problem. Like all other Vietnamese places, the hygiene expectations are a bit lower and I just hope that my booth seat wasn't sticky (it wasn't, lol, but the floor might have been). Serivce: As always, they ask you want you want before you're even seated, haha. But after sending the waiter/waitress back the average 3 times because we weren't ready yet, food came out quickly and without problems. Food: We had the: - Fried yams- So delicious ! I've never had these before and my friend urged me to give them a try. Definitely looked deep-fried, but was slightly sweet and had a great crunchy texture with a chewy inside. - I had the Vietnamese salad because I am OBSEESSED with fish sauce. Good amount and seriously hit the spot. Overall: I think many of the Vietnamese restaurants are quite similar, so I don't see a point in comparing them. Just go to the one that's closest to you and that you think you'll be able to get a seat in. I just want my Viet fix.

    Start off your meal right with an order of spring rolls. They are soooo good (I get the ones with shrimp and bbq pork). Then, it's on to the main attraction. When I think of their pho, I think of umami, that elusive fifth basic taste. The soup base is as savory as it gets, and once you drink that first spoonful, you're in bliss. Mix a little of the sriracha with the hoisin sauce to dip your perfectly cooked thin slices of beef. Ooh mama! Wanting to end the meal on a sweet note? Try the honeycomb coconut cake. It's chewy and the subtle sweetness gets me every time! Love the quick service and family atmosphere as well.

    I heart Quang's. I've introduced a few people to it as well and they are into it. I love their spring rolls and yam and shrimp appetizers....my go-tos always. I really don't branch out beyond the pho and noodle salad, so my review may be limited. But I love the pho. It's large and the meat combo is full of variety and I don't think it is too salty. Their service is really fast I also love the fact they are now on Bite Squad.

    Just moved here from SoCal. My sister and I were so happy that we found this spot bc we were going through serious withdraws with moving here only a month ago. Tastes just like home. Will def come ago. Decor is kinda yuck and service wasn't too great but it's a pho shop; can't expect too much.

    I'm only giving a one star in attempt to curb the overly-high rating for this restaurant and school some gringo's about pho. I promise, I have no axe to grind. This is a good Vietnamese dining experience. They have good to great specialty dishes. Some items are worse than average and some are fantastic, but to the point... The service is often fast, but careless, and more to the point, don't expect the owners to help, as they are the worst offenders. The owners should probably find another source of income, as it is obvious that they loathe their existence running this restaurant and have zero appreciation for their customers. In years of dozens of visits, not once has a smile, enthusiastic hello, or thank you been offered. Their pho is well below average. You could go to 3 other places on Nicolette that have good-great pho. If you like pho, hit pho 79 on Nicolette or iPho by Saigon (the best in MN) in St Paul. Service: 2.5 Experience: 2.5 Food: 4 Pho: .5 (literally, thought you'd get a fix but just leave disappointed) .... Still no one else will challenge them with a wide variety of well made Viet dishes... Let the over-rating continue

    I used to love this place and go once a week. That was until a waiter DISCRIMINATED AGAINST ME, or whatever it's called. WAITER: Oh, what you want, yeah, yeah, fine. (He brings my food much later than usual. They typically crank that stuff out. Weird because it's not busy. Food finally comes. No fresh spring roll I ordered. Huh, must've forgotten it.) ME: Hey, got that fresh spring rol- WAITER: Yeah it coming! I'm practically done with my pho by the time it comes. He's incredibly curt the whole time. Meanwhile, he's chatting up some ladies sitting in the other booth. WAITER: Oh, you from Korea? Uhhh, South Korea? (he actually said that, not joking) He's chatting them up like he thinks he's going to get laid. I notice that while he's very rude to me, all the other customers (not white guys) are getting four star service. He gave me my bill, no thank you, not a word. I paid and stiffed him. Let that be a lesson. Bad service=no tip.

    Pretty good pho. Broth is a bit too salty but, if you are eating pho, sodium intake shouldn't be on the top of your list. Good service. Waiters and waitresses are polite and fast. Grilled beef sandwich is good too. The big chic chip cookies by the register are good. Can't really go wrong with this spot if in the area.

    Food is pretty good and the servers most of the time are nice..... But the lady who rings us out at the counter always looks pissed off and has a "whatever" attitude. She doesn't even hand me the dang receipt, just throws it on the counter and walks off. -2 stars for constant terrible service at the pay out counter.

    Great Vietnamese restaurant. I'm not a big fan of Pho, but I loved the Pad Thai here. It was simply delicious! My sister loved the chicken Pho and highly recommends it. However, I wish they served full rice instead of 'broken rice'...when I first ordered that, I was like 'what is broken rice?' Clearly it is white rice...that is literally broken up into smaller pieces. I have never had that before and I will never have that again! But the dishes here are still great nevertheless. Just...stay..away from the broken rice. Pad thai all the way!

  • Maiyer X.

    Do not eat here! Worst place to eat! The pho is so water down and disgusting. There's no herbs or beef flavor in their broth. There is nothing authentic here! Eating here for Vietnamese cuisine is like eating at panda express for Chinese food. No flavors at all just taste like water and sugar in everything! I have given this place so many chances to wow me and I end up leaving unsatisfy.

    Since discovering Quang, I have become a regular patron. Sadly, I have stopped by for both lunch and dinner in the same day. The service is quick and I can stop by for lunch during work, eat in, and still get back within an hour. The spring rolls are fresh and the accompanying sauce hits the spot. Their famous pork egg rolls are crunchy and have the perfect amount of seasoning. As far as entrees go, I have tried the vermicelli salad, pho, lemongrass chicken, and marinated chicken. It is getting harder to decide what to get with everything being my "favorite". All of the food is hot and fresh and I can count on the consistency. I have not tried anything I haven't liked. If Vietnamese is your favorite or you have not given it a change - come to Quang.

  • William C.

    After eating pho all over town, Quang has won 1st place in my heart/belly. I have only eaten a non-pho dish here once before. I believe it was a fried pork chop on rice which was very delicious. But the bee's knees is their Vietnamese noodle soup. If you've never had it before, I challenge you to try it with all the fixins (tripe, meatball, tendon, etc.) The tendon is tender, the tripe is... well tripe, the fresh bean sprouts snap in your mouth, the basil is fragrant and the jalapeno slivers offer the fiery burn of hell. I usually come here for lunch and this place is always packed, but the wait is short and if you know what you want to order right away you will be served in no time. There are lots of tables but unless you are in a booth, you will find yourself sitting very close to your neighbors. In the end it doesn't matter because your face will be all up in that soup bowl like a hog eating hot slops from a trough. A warning, I often get food coma after I finish eating here which makes for a rather unproductive afternoon.

    Definitely a go to place for Pho! The Pho is top notch, it was super busy on a sunday night, but a delicious, cheap meal is something everyone can appreciate! The noise level is surprising low given the amount of people in the place, but it was definitely noticed and welcomed since I had something of a headache We also tried the egg rolls, which were tasty and the spring rolls were also pretty standard fare - but very tasty and just how they should be. Would recommend it.

    I dined at this restaurant for the first time yesterday with a friend around 4:30pm, and the place was really busy! However, our food came out pretty quick and was delicious! Very impressive for such a busy day! I got the pad thai with tofu with some cream cheese wontons and my friend got a shrimp rice platter with the tofu egg rolls. Reasonably priced and delicious. We shared everything and ended up finishing it all! For the two of us it was almost $30. I am sure we could have taken some leftovers, but we were a little greedy lol. The setting is comfortable and spacious and very casual. There are lots of wait staff, and they were all running around like crazy. Our waiter was awesome at the beginning but just disappeared after we got our food, which wasn't helpful because we really wanted a water refill! Not sure if this is a good place for a group of friends. If you want to go with a group larger than 3, you might want to call in. I am not sure if they take reservations though. I am definitely going back. It's on Eat Street, which is easy to get to by bus and car!

    This is the Single Number One Best Date-On-A-Friday Night Place if you are: a) Stressed out about the elections b) Sleep deprived c) Subsisting mainly on toast because you're too busy to eat properly, or d) Wanting to just stare at your handsome manfriend in peace This place is full of families, couples, friends, old folks, young folks, folks of color, folks speaking Spanish, folks speaking Vietnamese, folks speaking mostly with their mouths full- basically anyone who lives in Minneapolis pops up here eventually. No one cares what the hell you look like, and no one bugs you. You're free in a way that only great restaurants can promise- you get to just be how and who you are, no judgement, no bullshit. I stumbled into Quang's last night for pho with a back full of knots and a glazed-over look that only comes from reading too much about Mittens Romney. When the vat of beef pho came I put my whole face into the steam and just breathed in the basil and deep earthy goodness, and emerged clear-eyed and perkier than I've felt in weeks. Pho is medicine. Good, hearty, body-fixin medicine. I felt like my oil had been changed. I slept better last night than I've slept in weeks.

    Overall, one of the better places for Vietnamese food that is pretty cheap. I love the bun thit nuong and tricolor dessert. Other than that, I can't really speak for the pho. The service is also so-so at times and the wait can be long especially for dinner. Overall, a nifty place that usually pleases everyone.

    Restaurant was extremely busy and they had a great system, although there was a small waiting area. My only thing is their customer service was very minimal, took about 12 minutes to get water and another 14 minutes for our order to be taken. The hostess was also very cranky--not to us but the other customers. Food was decent.

    Eating the hot, crispy shrimp and yam fritters, dipping them in the sour and pungent fish sauce, and sipping on the tangy, bubbly soda chanh, I thought, hey... maybe this place is going to be really good. Until I got my mi kho (pork and seafood dry noodles). Then: fivespice city! I don't understand, Minneapolis. Do you have a fivespice mine down by the river? No? Then how come you must use 50 tons of it on everything? Plus, fivespice is Chinese! This soup is Vietnamese. These two things are not the same. Vietnamese noodles are not supposed to taste like BBQ pork from a Sam Woo. Grrrrr... But the actual pork happened to be great (despite the residual fivespice) - sliced thinly with all the yummy fat left on. The shrimp was plump and perfect. Not much I can say to complain about the fake crab that I haven't already beaten into the ground in other reviews. It is possible that I ordered wrong (banh cuon was my first choice, but they were out) and everything other than the main course really was good, but I don't understand why you'd take such a normally delicately balanced cuisine and suffocate it with a fivespice shaker. Stop by, obtain soda chanh and shrimp/yam fritters... that's all I can really recommend.

    We Chicago folk do not have a great selection of Banh Mi. One would imagine that the third largest city in the U.S. would have a diverse selection of banh mi, but unfortunately that is just not the reality. I have some family in the Twin Cities and they always take me to Quang. I've had a bunch of their food, but what really stands out to me is their Banh Mi. Last year, I bought 3 banh mi to bring back to Chicago. Needless to say, they were all gone before I boarded my plane. I've had my fair share of Banh Mi in my life (West & East Coast, Saigon and even the Banh Mi Bourdain had in Hoi An), and have definitely had better elsewhere, but for the Midwest, this is a good spot. But if any Twin Cities folk would like the recommend me any better banh mi joints in the area, please leave a comment.

    YOU HAVE TO TRY THE BUN BO HUE here. Everyone talks about Pho but you can get Pho at any Vietnamese restuarant out on eat street and it will taste almost the same and trust me Quang's is nothing out of the ordinary for pho. But their Bun Bo Hue is amazing if you can eat spicy foods, Order it! Its noodles, loaded with different meats, and a very spicy broth but its sooo good. Seems like the last two time's I've gone they ran out and this was at around 7pm on a Sat. I ordered the boun nem nuong which was alright Quang's portions are always a good amount of food to eat. The price is very good won't hurt your wallet but be warned they are usually very busy and their parking lot is always full.

    Perfect place for a rainy day. One of the best Pho in town for sure. My wife was trying Pho for the first time an i so wished it shouldn't go wrong. Bingo! I chose the right place for her first pho expedition. Believe me, if u have a messed up pho the first time u might not turn out to b a big fan of it. Spring rolls are nice Pho is amazing. service was nice. bought some cha siu bao over the counter which was also tasty. for sure a four stars

    I've been going to Quang's for 20 years. My first experience at Quang's was when it was across the street from it's current location in the tiny strip mall and was the size of a postage stamp. The kitchen was a galley and it had about 10 tables and you were lucky to get there early enough to get a table. Today, they have their own building and are still making the same great food they did when I was a kid (I swear the pho bowls were bigger back in the day!). The place is run by a family and their kids now run a majority of the operation; they're not much older than me. I was recently there with my coworkers for our monthly team lunch. We hoped the reliable 18D and it dropped us off about a block away. If you plan on driving to Quang's, especially on the weekend, you'll likely have to park on the street. The private lot they have is pretty small and only holds about a dozen cars (they share it with other businesses). The seating area is pretty large and booths line the outer walls with tables/chairs in between. The service is generally very quick; sometimes you'll get a newer server and it's a tiny bit slower. My usual order is always Vietnamese Egg Rolls (#104) and Mi Kho (#509); which is an egg noddle dish with meat/seafood with soup on the side (really good on warmer summer days). The egg rolls always come out hot (and it's always FAST service on those) and they're served with a dipping sauce. The sauce has a fish sauce base with other ingredients and slices of carrots. I prefer the fried egg rolls over the spring rolls, just my preference. The Mi Kho is served in a large bowl (think cereal bowl but 6 times bigger) with egg noodles on the bottom, sliced beef, seafood, shrimp toast, lettuce and a few other items. It comes with soup on the side and a small bowl of meat sauce. You pour the meat sauce into the noodles, mix everything up and drink the soup separately as you go. I always add Siracha :-) This is one of my absolute favorite places to get Vietnamese food! Before I forget, each time I visit, I always buy a couple of Banh Mi sandwiches. You MUST buy one before you go!!! Cheap and super good!

    If Pho 79 is the Tim Duncan of Eat Street, Quang is Kevin Garnett: consistent, sustained excellence. It's difficult for me to imagine having a bad meal here. And given the volume of business they conduct, the efficiency of their service is particularly impressive and refreshing. The Pad Thai I had here was among the best versions of the dish I've ever had, and the Pho was first rate. Our appetizers - wings, egg rolls - were very good. The wings are extra crunchy, if that's your thing. It worked fine for me, though it's not my ideal preference. Even the Bahn Mi here was better than some of the places I usually see bandied about as best in the city. This is a classic 'ol reliable spot. It's quite affordable to boot, and the portions ensure leftovers for later snacking. Let's hope that unlike KG, Quang never flees Minneapolis.

    Get it to go and get out! The minute I walked in to Quang yesterday, a wall of stale urine smell hit me. Need I add that this was profoundly unappetizing? I wanted to leave immediately, but my buddy wanted her egg rolls. So they led us through a crowded dining room and sat us in the corner booth which was tight that I spent the whole meal waiting for the couple behind me to leave so I could try to move my bench back (I couldn't.) Luckily, I ordered #505 (sliced beef pho) to go since I truly had no appetite in the stench of Piss in The Dining Room. And when I got home, to fresh air, I devoured the heck out of the most amazing Vietnamese soup I've ever had. I plan to never go back there unless it's to do carry out. Clean up your putrid-smelling restaurant and keep making good food, Quang!

    On Saturday night every table in this large restaurant was taken, and this place is easily ten times the size of Jasmine Deli up the street. Quang's always seems to be doing a brisk business, what is it about this restaurant that draws so people in? When there are so 7 Vietnamese places on Eat Street, when people in the Cities talk about Vietnamese on Nicollet why do they usually reference Quang's? Quang's was the first Vietmanese restaurant on Eat Street, and in 1989 first moved into what had been in the 1970s Maggie's Midnite Sauna & Massage , I suspect it was more sanitary (but it later moved across the street where it sits today). I've enjoyed their food many times over the years, but last night we had the Seared Salmon with Ginger Scallion, and Stir Fry Jumbo Shrimp, which has a nice hotness to it. Salmon is god; unless it comes out of a can I have a really hard time not loving it, regardless. I once spent half an hour picking the tiny bones out of a can of mushy pink salmon, and never made that mistake again. I've spent 10 hour days in Alaska doing nothing but pulling Salmon out of the hold of ships, or cleaning out their guts, or humping their carcases around in wheelbarrows, and and that one can was infinitely more disgusting. My salmon itself was a bit overcooked leaving it a little dry, but it was flavorful and I was not expecting Oceanaire or Moto-i. I'm no rice expert by a long shot, but in the world of rice, for me good Vietnamese style broken rice comes second only to good Japanese style rice. And Quang's broken rice is superb. Pouring the fish sauce over the rice and mixing the shrimp or salmon into it is a great way to eat.

    Honestly I think I could eat here at least once a week! I love the #505 Pho...it is my go to dish there. The spring rolls are delicious and so are the sliced beef & egg roll salads!

    For some reason, this is the first place that I think of when I'm cold. And yes, it gets REALLY cold here in Minnesota. Therefore, I think of this place a lot. Hence, I go here a lot. I've never been disappointed-- no MSG-induced headache pangs after inhaling my bowl of pho. Lately, I've been really liking the spicy pork hoc soup. I used to think it was gross, but it's actually REALLY good. Super spicy, meaty, and they really don't skimp you on the noodles. Like some other places I know (cough cough Pho 79 and Pho Hoa-- both places are nearby Quang.) Next time you're feeling a bit chilly.. you know where to go. :)

    Super good food for a cheap price with fast and courteous service! As for my favorites, I have yet to find better tasting spring rolls, their mock duck and tofu vermicelli salad is delicious as are all the types of pho. They are always packed but the servers are almost always super prompt and friendly. The servings are great for me because I can get two meals out of one cheap dish! Just don't forget, they're closed on Tuesdays! Oh and try the hazelnut bubble tea and coconut bread too!

    Amazing service! The food always comes out super fast and the waiters are always busy and running around. The spring rolls are delicious especially the hoisin sauce that comes with it.

    Delicious. Reliable. FAST. Friendly. After being let down a few too many times at another near-by Vietnamese joint, I've made the switch to Quang's. The quality is top notch, portions are good, and service is so efficient (sometimes maybe too fast). Spring rolls are always fresh- there is nothing worse than gummy, hard wrappers. I always get pho or the grilled pork bun which has so much pork! Oh man. As a note, they are also great at take out! Everything separated (no soggy noodles here) and spring rolls even come in the perfect size container. No forgotten sauces either!

  • K D.

    I'm a huge fan of Pho 79 because it serves up a generous amount of pho for about $7, and I've always believed that nothing could surpass this holy land of big-delicious-soup-for-my-cheap-ass. BUT! Today I went to Quangs. I was a bit leery to spend an extra $2 for the large size bowl considering the original price was about a dollar more than a regular Pho79 price but I felt spendy today hehehe And it was so worth it. The large bowl was about a foot in diameter while the original, but still big bowl was about 8" in diameter. My dad and I ordered the chicken wings which were still sizzling when they served it to us! Pho 79 or Quang? Well basically, they are the same thing except Quang is ridiculously busy, even on a thursday night. They have the same kind of meat and broth, but Pho 79 is slightly cheaper by $1-2. BUT, for the price of Quang, they do give a bit more meat.

    4 stars since they have awesome and huge noodle soups. I love the one with the wontons in it! It's only about $7 too. It's very comparable to what you can get in Chicago Chinatown. This is probably the best and most reasonably priced noodle soup place here. It's also really busy during the lunch hours on weekends but you never have to wait more than 10-15 min. The service is pretty fast and your food comes pretty quickly. The decor isn't very posh but the food is most excellent!

    Who knew this place existed out in Minnesota? My friend Spark did, and she was proud to show me this shining star in the midwest. I ordered the Pho, and it was great. Better than most I've had in Los Angeles, where there seems to be an overflood of diluted broth. Service was great and turn around was fast. It seems like it's packed constantly and the parking lot is a bit small... however, those shouldn't be a deterrent from getting your fill of Photabulous goodness. Pricing is very reasonable and anyone with the same mindset should make their way over. I did!

    I tried again, I thought someone must know something I don't. Meatballs. They are freakishly good. Get them in your Bun and you have a good lunch. Forget them in your Bun and you aren't eating badly, but you could be eating better or just as well if you, uh, scan the street a bit. I go other places for every other reason. The waitstaff is really sweet (and gently steered me away from the pho, wow....subversive) The Bun Bo Hue is pretty good.

    One of the best bowls of pho in the Cities. Deep and complex flavors I continue to crave. Haven't found a better one yet. Lemongrass chicken is also a star. Also probably one the better food deals around. It's worth coming in for the weekend specials. Amazingly fast service to boot.

    I had a Groupon for the Edo Pop exhibit at the MIA, so we were in the neighborhood. After taking in some sweet art, we were looking for some serious food that was close by. Enter Quang's! Now, I have read and re-read these reviews before going to Quang's. Can I just say spot on to you 4 & 5rs in my opinion? It was a Sunday night and the place was hopping. However, we got seated right away with another family of four. That's cool, other than they didn't share the condiments. Boo on their sharing skills, but not Quang's fault. I ordered the fresh spring rolls. My mouth is salivating right now because I want those rolls! I also ordered the caramelized lemon grass chicken. I would crawl there, right now, to get more. The portion sizes are large (I had enough for lunch the next day, and I can eat). I had no idea what I owed, but it came out to a reasonable $12 plus tip. For tea, spring rolls and a meal? Not too shabby I say. Not too shabby at all.

  • Emma M.

    Why Quang, why? The recent update to the menu wouldn't be so bad if the prices didn't go up as well! They also have changed the descriptions of some of the soups and I was left wondering if my second favorite soup (seafood soup with fish balls) was still there. Also, kind of picky thing but the website layout now takes forever to load new sections of the menu. I use to never think that I would be looking to try other places for pho but now with the prices up I just may expand my horizons.

    I am definitely a regular at Quang's. I like the variety, the reasonable pricing and the simple fact that I can count on the menu items to be consistent. Consistency isn't a main priority for a lot of Asian mom and pop restaurants. I like that Quang's offers a variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes and I can count on getting the same dish when I come back and order it next week. They definitely have a smooth operation going for them. They are always packed during lunch and dinner hours but the food comes out quickly and they have the right amount of friendly staff on hand to get people in and out in a reasonable amount of time. I never mind the wait. There is this one table in the corner that is a bit hidden, that's the only time I feel like the service was a bit slow so avoid getting seated there of possible. One other thing that Quang's does that most mom and pop Asian restaurants don't, is serve fountain pop with free refills! My boyfriend LOVES that. He's a guzzler when he eats Pho and all of the other Pho joints we go to usually charge $1.50 for a can of pop. I didn't give Quang's 5 stars because I have had better broth before! That's a tough one for a lot of places to beat for me. But I am still a regular because overall I love the place. Gives me a taste of the motherland while my mama lives on the west coast. For that, I thank you!

    I love this place! Great seafood noodles soup, love the spring rolls and the wontons are awesome! My friend got the combo.with pork chop and meatloaf and that was amazing as well!! It is one of my favorites!

  • Brady K.

    Love it! Noodle salads & Pho are absolutely phenomenal. Spring rolls are very good, but I still prefer Pho Tau Bay's a little more. My only complaint is the Vietnamese coffee - comes pre-mixed which defeats half the fun. It needs to come in the little Vietnamese brewer to make it more legit. This is not enough to knock it down to anything lower than 5-stars though

    #310, I don't know if there is more I need to say........Try it, you wont be disappointed. My first visit was with about 10people at 11am on a weekday, we were seated immediately and within minutes the place was packed. Despite the large group, we got our food very quickly and it was hot! If you dont have time to dine in, take out is a great option. We called with an order for three and it was hot and ready by the time we arrived, maybe 10 min later. Quang's is one of my new favorite spots. Careful you may begin experiencing egg roll cravings after just one visit.

    I've been here many times, but today, my friend got the beef pho here and it was exceptionally salty. She couldn't eat it, so she tried to replace it for another dish. We waited about 10 minute for our waitress to get the manager. When the manager finally arrived, she kept repeating that she tasted the pho and that it wasn't salty. Regardless of how salty or not salty the pho is, what's up with the customer service here? She could have easily been pleasant about it. By the time my friend's replacement dish came out, we were all done. And since my friend was feeling bad, we all felt bad. Poor experience here.

    it can get pretty crowded in here. our service was good but the food has been americanized. I use to eat here with my parents after church before they move to this big place and the food was 100 time better now its so industrial almost like asian cafeteria. egg rolls are greasy pho was blan and spring rolls had very little meat or shrimp...

  • Toly M.

    It was really good food. I had some of the soup. For the large variety on the menu, I felt like the waiter could have done a better job on explaining the diffrence in the variety of food. I was not very impressed with the floor being very sticky/dirty. Also we had to wait 5 minuites before someone came over to assist us. Yes I understand it is a very busy place. But judging the food that I had it was very good, and deff a place I would come again on a cold day to get my PHÓ fix.

    This is my go-to pho restaurant. We always get the cream cheese wontons, egg rolls, pho, and vermicelli salad. I have like everything that I've tried here. The broth in the pho is nice and rice and salty. The service is always fast and friendly.

    Quang's has been a family tradition ever since I can remember. We used to go almost every other weekend if not every weekend! I don't live with my parents anymore, but I still find myself going frequently with my roommates and friends. It's nice to open doors to my friends who hasn't tried authentic Vietnamese cuisine. It's even better when the tables turn and they invite me! My order is consistent. I always end up getting pho, if not bun bo hue, and their spring rolls and eggrolls for appetizer. Their springrolls are perfect, you can tell that they are freshly wrapped. Their eggrolls are amazing, almost as good as my moms, but it's pretty close! Whenever my brother comes along, he always gets the sweet yam and shrimp with sweet dipping sauce on the side... delicious. My mouth is watering thinking about it. If I'm not feeling "soupy" I'd usually get the rice platter which consists of BBQ pork, pork loaf, and a fried sunny side up egg laid on top of a bed of rice. The platter also comes with a sweet fish sauce you can add to your platter. Super scrumptious! To satisfy my sweet tooth, I'll order their Vietnamese coffee to go. I'm pretty picky about Vietnamese coffee, but Quang's makes theirs juuuuust the way I like it. All in all, the prices are not bad for the quality you get. You also get a good amount of options in the menu. The only downfall (but, not really) is the wait to be seated on the weekends, but it's all worth it in the end. Quang's is the go to place for me whenever I'm in the mood for anything Vietnamese!

    Pho and spring rolls are divine. The platters are also good. Have had a few consistency problems with the Pad Thai and Chicken Wings, some times excellent, some times subpar Overall, this place is one I frequent and therefore highly recommend.

  • Thao L.

    It's kind of sad that this is actually one of the best Vietnamese places that Minnesota has to offer. It's very evident by the fact that when we went during lunch, it was just packed. We had to wait nearly 20-25 minutes for a table. The food here is okay, nothing outstanding. A lot of the customers here are non-Vietnamese, so that might explain it a little bit. If you're in Minneapolis and craving Vietnamese food, I've tried other places already, this is the place to go.

    (3)
  • Jenna N.

    Quang is the best Vietnamese you will find in the twin cities. There grilled sausage spring rolls and chicken wings are the best way to start off your meal. I highly recommend the pho and the pad Thai. Most people assume pad Thai is all the same but quang is by far the best I have had in the twin cities. The employees are so nice and always provide great recommendations when you want to try something new. On the weekends, they have curry soup that is unbelievably good but you have to get there early before they run out! Enjoy!

    On the venerable, iconic, eclectic and somewhat apocalyptic Nicollet Ave in Minneapolis stands the venerable Quang Vietnamese restaurant....first and quite important , there are 3 authorized ways to say the name KWANGS, KWONGS, or GWONGS...the family seems ok with this.( I like Kwang!!!) This institution is the talk of Vietnamese Authentic food in all of the great state of MN. I admittedly avoided it .....I honestly judged the book by its cover.....and although a full bred urbanite...I just wasn't excited. My girlfriend at the time over time convinced me and I'm glad she did.....the food reasonably priced, she raved over the Pho - I think she had the Pho Ga or the Pho Bo Vien...I had the Bang-Hoi-Nom Nuong ( think rice paper wrapped meatballs) . The service is very fast and very friendly.......a parking lot awaits your arrival if driving , and although almost always crowded...you wont have to wait too long to be served. Their hours are 11-9 six days a week and they family likes to be closing up shop 30 minutes earlier on Sundays (11-8:30). A limited beer and wine list but it works..... I admit I was not eating much on "EAT Street" whilst living in Minneapolis.....but when Im back in town KWANGS_KWONGS_GWONGS will be on my agenda!

    I am giving Quang 4 stars because this has been my go-to Vietnamese place since I discovered it with co-workers back in 2007, however, there is some room for improvement. I always get the Vermicelli Salad with Mock Duck, Tofu & Bean Sprouts - it's absolutely amazing and I love the fish sauce, some sriracha sauce and hoisin - this usually lasts me two meals. I almost ALWAYS have some to take home! Additionally, I help myself to some shrimp and pork spring rolls with peanut sauce - the sauce is amazing - I could just eat it with a spoon - and the spring rolls are ALWAYS so fresh. I've had their Pho - it's very delicious, as well. Really, I have never had a 'food miss' with this place - until last night when we ordered delivery through Bite Squad. When I placed the order, I asked for no fruit (my boyfriend is allergic), which they did honor - there were no limes no anything - thank you! Additionally, I asked for EXTRA hoisin - we received none, at all. Also, there was NONE of the delicious peanut sauce (sad face) with our spring rolls (thank goodness we had some at home). Lastly - the beef in the Pho was RAW....literally, raw. I know it's supposed to cook in the broth, but it was not cooked at all and the broth was cold. We had to microwave it - and that was very unappetizing. I always love to go to Quang - the food is great - the atmosphere is lively....but I wouldn't recommend getting delivery....maybe take-out, so you can check your order before you leave.

    seriously overrated. spring rolls were gummy, which means they were pre-made. actually that was disappointing, since the fillings were good. pho...absolutely nothing special, and for what you get, a bit pricey! Although, I was happy that my rare beef pho was actually rare when it arrived. Honestly, I really have no idea why this place is so popular.

  • Annie D.

    Quaaaang's. I love you. If my boyfriend had his way, we'd eat here every day. Honestly, I'm not sure exactly why I fight it either, because I love the pho here so much. We come here a lot as it is. The spring rolls, fried sweet potatoes and pho tai (#505) are consistently delicious. As I mentioned in my prior review, I've branched out a handful of times to order the lemongrass chicken, curry stew or the pork and wonton soup. All good, but I usually get the pho after hemming and hawing about possibly getting something else. I should just be honest with myself. I always want pho. I haven't tried their boba ('cause boba is one of the only things I genuinely hate), but I liked their iced coffee the one time I tried it. I can't recall loving any of the desserts they have up at the front, but the gelatinous coconut cake thing is a'ight. They also sell sandwiches up there. The only reason this isn't a full five stars for me is because the service was pretty off the last two times I was there (which both happened to be within the same week... don't judge). In the past, service has been much better, even when it's crazy busy... which is basically all the time. If you don't want to be sad, tell your pho cravings to cool it on Tuesdays, because Quang's is closed. P.S. Saying "Quang's" just seems more natural than "Quang," even though I know it's technically "Quang," right?

    Dis place hab the gut Vietnamee food. Quang's is so good and authentic, that's the only way you can say it. I had the Pho and Com Soun Noung. Both were absolutely delicious!!! It is comparable to the Vietnamese food you would find in Houston. The food was so good I had to come back the next day for Banh Mi. The Banh Mi Thit Noung was a party in my mouth. Each bite had me moaning and groaning like the herbal essance girl in her tropic thunder shower. The Cha Gio was amaaazing! My mom says that the bigger sized eggrolls is how she remembered them in Vietnam. I've been dying for good Tapioca since I moved to MN. Quang's tapioca isn't to die for and not all that great but it's good nuff to hush the craving. Go to Quang's for awesome Vietnamese food... your tummy will sank you long time.

    Quang restaurant is one of my favorite places to eat pho. Probably the tastiest pho you'll find in MN. Appetizers and drinks are also very good. I am definitely a huge fan of this place and would rate it 5 stars if it were not for a few workers there who I have noticed been very rude to some customers during their busy hours.

    I'm definitely a fan of the pho at Quang. As a matter of fact, I think I had the best pho I've ever had at Quang. Pho realz! (Sorry, I had to do it!) Thank you Annie D for taking me to this pho factory. Quang is totally my kind of place. I love the casual environment, the modest prices, the authenticity, and the fact that they serve boba! The service is decent (not the most attentive). and the atmosphere is nothing so special, but the food is un-pho-gettable! I wish we had something comparable in (PHOenix) AZ...

  • Dang N.

    OK, so I'm Vietnamese and I live near Westminister, CA which has got a burly Vietnamese community. I mean, there must be 100s of Vietnamese restaurants to eat at and I don't think you could eat at all of them, even if you spent your whole life trying to achieve this. My uncle who's lived there for more than 20+ years hasn't eaten at all of them. But despite the 100s of Vietnamese restaurants there, most of them are really, really excellent. So I know what great Vietnamese food is. This place ain't it. Sorry Twin Cities natives but seriously, this really isn't it. I guess for the Twin Cities this may be great Vietnamese food but in the scheme of the Gourmet World, it's really lacking. I walked in and sat down and ordered the egg rolls (#104) and the pork chops with broken rice (#401). This is some my favorite Vietnamese food. The egg rolls were over cooked, and really dense and hard. What I mean by the latter comments is that great cha gio has got a crunchiness that doesn't fight your bite. It's firm but yields and separates from itself with each bite. This cha gio does not do this. In fact, I wondered if it was even fresh. Quite possibly frozen or they buy it frozen from someone else who mass produces these things. The Com Suong Nuong comes out looking a little lacking. Sometimes it's equivalent to a huge pork chop that sits on top on all this rice with huge slices of tomatoes on top of lettuce. This plate wasn't that. The meat was ok, not bad but not great. The rice wasn't great. I really felt it was kinda a low quality rice. And the sweet fish sauce they give you traditional has got a lot of shredded carrot inside of it and another shredded root. This sauce barely had any. An indicator that they not only skimped out on the ingredients, but also, the additional shredded bits really makes a difference in taste. It's because the carrot and root is marinated in the sauce so you're not only eating this dish with the sauce but with these additional ingredients. Adds a lot of flavor. And finally I asked for hot tea and the waiter pointed to the back of the menu. I didn't fully understand why he did this and just told him I wanted hot tea. He came back with a tea cup and a tea bag. This was a 1st for me. I've never been to a Vietnamese restaurant that didn't have hot tea as default for your drink in those (typically) metal pots. I was really shocked. I mean really shocked. Seriously? I felt like this place was trying to make a buck on everything by skimping out on ingredients and charging for stuff that you shouldn't get charged for. I still can't believe I paid for tea in a Vietnamese restaurant. I think my father flipped a table over in his grave. I'd come back with someone who'd swear the other stuff here is good, but it'd probably turn into a night of education where I'd point all the lacking qualities that True Vietnamese food has.

    The Pho here fluctuates. I give it a 3 out of PHY because 3 out of Phy times I get pho here and it's not as good but it does the job. Now onto good things. The BEST RICE PLATTER and PORK CHOP. Better than most other places. Great appetizers, Recommended try the sweet potatoes. Buy the bahn mi to go, its good. GREAT VIETNAMESE COFFEE HERE!

    I have a serious problem. Related to Quang's egg rolls. I love them so much that I will drive across town in a snow storm to get them. I dream about their fresh, crunchy goodness. I suppose egg roll addiction isn't bad problem to have, aside from the damage it does to my waistline... The food here (to me at least) is very authentic and not overly americanized, which is generally great. I have occasionally been too adventurous and ended up with something that was perhaps out of my comfort zone... As long as you stick to what you know, you'll be fine. Or, sometimes I look at the tables around us, figure out what looks good and ask the waiter for that. This is also the kind of place where the tables are close enough together we've actually had the table next to us make menu recommendations for things they really loved! The food is also super affordable. The service at Quang's can be a bit hit or miss, we've never had any terrible experiences, but occasionally it's felt like we were forgotten about for a period of time. Overall, I really enjoy coming here to scarf down egg rolls and then try something new! This is also a fun place to bring adventurous out of town guests.

  • Cassie A.

    The food is definitely good. I haven't been there for a while now, because sometimes I find the price they ring up doesn't match up with the price in the menu and if you don't verify on what you order, you could be paying more. Me and 4 of my friends were there last year and the total should've been $48, but they rang the total to $59. When you have a small order, then it's easy to check, but when there's a group order, they mixed up the price a little bit. I've witnessed this several times and also heard of similar instances at this place so beware. Other than that, the food is pretty good.

    Has everyone on Yelp already been here but me! I was not a fan of Vietnamese food until I went to Vietnam. Only 5 days back my husband and I were craving Bun Cha and Bahn Mi. So after reading many reviews on Yelp we settled on Quangs. First of all I love that there is a parking lot. Its the simple things. Now I set the bar high having Bun Cha in Hanoi itself. The Bun Cha Gio I had at Quangs of course was not as good but by no fault of their own. It was still very delicious and at a resonable price. My husband had his Bahn Mi and I think he liked it more than when in Vietnam - perhaps because he actually knew what was in this sandwhich. Most everyone around us had Pho so perhaps we will come back to try this. But I must continue my search for the perfect Bun Cha.

  • Anya S.

    I love pho. I love pho!! Pho and I feel in love a few years ago, and since then we have been going strong. Since moving back to MN I decided to start the search for the perfect pho with this restaurant, as it was recommended to me by my fellow yelpers. They did not dissapoint. We we seated right away, our waters brought and our order taken. 10 min later I was sipping (?) some yummy pho. I had the pho tai (noodles and beef), which was hot, yummy, delicious and ohhh soo fattening. I actually though that the broth was too fattening, but overall it was one of the best pho's Ive had. My mommy had stir fry chicken with rice, but she also had some of my pho, and she liked it too. She said, she will be back, but they need to redo the parking lot. Yes, women in my family cannot park. The service was friendly, the place seems lively, quite happening considering we were there on a weeknight and overall, it was great! Quang, Ill be back.

  • Ericka A.

    Something has changed. Quang is not the beacon of pho hope that it once was. Don't get me wrong, the pho is still delicious. It comes in a bowl large enough to feed Vietnam, or at least enough to keep me swimming in soup over the weekend. It's a good deal, but prices have gone up and it is always crowded. I remember a better, simpler time when I could show up on any given day, at any business hour, and be seated immediately. The waiters and waitresses would do what they are meant to, wait on you. Now they rush around frantically. What makes me really sad? The recipe for their mind blowing cream cheese wontons has changed. I can't put my finger on it. Something is amiss. The filling is just as creamy and flavorful as ever, but the fried wonton is greasier, harder to pull apart and more dough than cream cheese. I would dream of them and couldn't wait to dig in. Now? Not so much. I won't be ordering them again. RIP #112 "Hoanh Thanh Chien"; I'm pouring out a bubble tea for my fallen homey.

    Now I lived in Asia for a few years and lived in California most of my life where Vietnamese restaurant selections are endless. I moved to Minneapolis recently and I have to say Quang has the best Pho around here. I don't love it but it's pretty good. Is it authentic? Good enough. Are their Pho dishes delicious? Satisfying enough for those hang-overs and Asian food cravings. There are not a huge selection of Pho noodles (about 5 or so) but those are all pretty good. I've tried all except the chicken and they were decent. My favorite is the Pho Combo with beef, meatballs, tripe- the whole dank. Is the service good? Ummm just as most Asian family owned restaurants are, the service kinda sucks. They're okay unless you ask to change your order and stuff then prepare to be death stared, and expect no apologies to any mistake they make. They also sell some Vietnamese pastries by the cashier when you walk in. Those are actually pretty good. As far as their bubble tea, I would not go there unless you have never had bubble tea before and so curious to try, or if you are craving bubble tea that badly. The tapioca bubbles were a bit hard. If you want to go during meal times, expect a long wait to get seated. They are pretty good about rushing people out and getting people seats ASAP, but there are just that many people wanting to eat the best Pho in Minneapolis. If you come in during this time, you can tell it's good. It seems like all the Asian Minnesotans gather there during meal times for food and warmth in the winter time.

  • Kee V.

    My cousin recommended this place and usually his recs are right on. I ordered the 503 pho which comes with all the meats. I also ordered a hazelnut bubble tea. The pho was good but, quite honestly, it wasn't an better than what I can get back home in Chicago. I was expecting much more after reading many of the yelp reviews. The broth wasn't as complex as I was hoping for. I will say the meat was very good and of high quality, especially the brisket. It was cut a little thicker than any other place I've had pho I think I prefer the thick cut. Like I said, it was good but I really thought this was 2nd tier compared to the pho I had at Trieu Chau in St. Paul a couple days before. The hazelnut bubble tea seemed to have been made way ahead of time and the boba balls were overcooked. It tasted fine but the mushy tapioca was a turnoff. I didn't finish it. If you ask me, I would recommend Trieu Chau for pho but this isn't a bad second option.

    Another one of my usual spots when I lived in Minneapolis. I have been coming here since they were a tiny deli across the street. Top of the list- 1. Vietnamese sandwiches! 2. Bun Ca Kieng Giang ( their seabass noodle soup) 3. Bun Bo Hue Pho is good here but there are better places. Parking is difficult on the weekends and go early to avoid a long line.

  • Jess F.

    The day I went to Quang, I was told by the regular sitting at the table next to me that the pho was off that day as she added sugar to the soup. Yeah....the broth was pretty salty and oily, but it still had a wonderful flavor. I'll have to try it again another day to see how the broth goes then. Interesting point to note, Quang seems to put less noodle in their pho and vermicelli salads and more meat compared to the other places I've tried around town. Both the pho and salad was really good (although more salty than I'm use to) and well priced for the area. The place was packed, yet service was super fast, yay! If you'd like to get even more food and happen to be in St. Paul, Saigon is just as good tasting (with less salt), give more food, and priced slightly less.

  • Tien L.

    Heard good things about this place + Yelp reviews so I had to try. I've tried over 100s different Pho places across the USA so I consider myself a Pho Expert. I order the pho and it was avg. A bit salty for my taste, cuts of meat were fine, size is decent, price was avg. The pho wasn't hot at all... like steamy hot. Nothing spectacular. My wife order the Bun Bo Hue and that was a mistake. I've had bun bo hue from Cali to VA to Boston and this has to be the worst. It lack spicyness and lemongrass. I was overwhelm with the shrimp paste in it. Way too much. We didn't even finish half of it. Awful. Service - was excellent. Our waiter was pretty cool and provided great service. Too bad the food wasn't up to par. I probably wouldn't come back.

    I've had some great meals here and some very mediocre ones too. Pho is good but a pretty salty (same goes for all their soups). Love the fresh meatballs they use in the pho. Eggrolls are good and I really like their springrolls. Quick service. Decent price. Wish they'd give you the bill like any normal restaurant instead of that green ticket which you have to walk up to the register to pay for.

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed Quang before! I just went the other day and had my two favorites - I believe they are 101 and 301, but don't quote me on that. The spring roll and the beef salad are amazing! So much flavor! Oh, if you go for lunch during peak times, you might have to wait. It's better to go a bit early or later if you can make that work. TIP: If you are in a rush, carry out is always quite fast. Spring rolls are ready in 1 minute and the other dishes are a bit longer than that. Bon Apetite!

    3* if this restaurant was back in L.A. where I live, but 4* in Minneapolis I was pleasantly surprised by Quang restaurant - decided to drop by based on the excellent reviews, and I was not disappointed! VIETNAMESE ICED COFFEE ($2.95): Strong - you have been forewarned PHO THAP CAM ($8.50): Terrific on a rainy day such as today. Broth was pretty good, but could have had more depth by using more beef bones QUANG PAD THAI ($9.95): Generous portion and cooked perfectly but was missing the sweet/tangy tamarind flavor. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area again to try their other dishes! Pay at the counter near the door and don't forget to check out their assorted to-go snacks and drinks :) Easy parking in their lot or on the street.

    This place is one of many gems in my neighborhood. It's always busy and that's because the food is great, the service is great, it's family/kid friendly, and the quantity of food for the price is excellent. I'm a big fan of rice noodle salads and this place has the best one of all the many I've tried from various restaurants. The pho is also wonderful and loved by many of my friends and family. In fact, just about everything this place has to offer is good. If you haven't tried Quang yet you really need to!

    MSG and sodium overload! We ordered veggie pho and chk pho and all 3 of us ballooned up the next morning. Talk about eyes wide shut! It is a pity that they rely on this crazy substance for "taste". I'm going back to Pho 79 or Pho Tau Bay for my pho. Quang's, what happened to you? Sad.

    Most of the reviews seem to be spot on: good not great, consistent, good value. I like the Pho, and I can get spring rolls as well for roughly $10, which I find very reasonable. The grilled beef and egg roll salad is a fav of my wife and daughters. Oh, and they also like the lime-aid here.

    Genius Vietnamese food in Minneapolis. I try to get here whenever I am in from out of town. The weekends are special because they prepare a sea bass soup that is delectable.

    This is one of my favorite places to grab lunch. I haven't had a bad meal here. I usually get a chicken noodle bowl and a Vietnamese coffee for bubble tea. My absolute favorite are the fresh spring rolls. The service is fabulous. If you like Pho I highly recommend Quangs!

  • Nathan T.

    Pho is okay....not as good as its cousin down the street. Don't like how if you order hot tea, you get a cup of hot water and a tea bag. Also if you order Vietnamese coffee it is pre brewed instead of having it steep at table side like other restaurants. It's the little things that irk me about Quangs. It's becoming too western and less authentic.

    I left my heart at Quang - seriously I did. One of my very last meals was at Quang and I will forever regard this place as the SF of Minneapolis. It was love at first bite here for me. I felt as if I was back in San Francisco eating at one of my favorite Pho houses - except I was in Minneapolis on Eat Street. Their food is in a word addictive. I love their Vermicelli Salads and the Pho is unexplainable how fresh and great it truly is. You can't go wrong with any of the choices - but I recommend going in on a weekend and getting one of the specials. Worth it and they always run out! Yes people its that good! Not only is the food great, but I have had some of my greatest meals at Quang with friends and family - it just brings people together. I will especially remember the bond I share with Quang with three very important people - Kelvin, Ari and Jen...ah - we all loved this place. Quang I heart you and always will. If you are ever in Minneapolis this place is a must do - and let's face it do you really need to go to MOA again? LOL

    Good food. Cheap. Quick. The only thing that's probably true about this place is that it's NOT the best pho restaurant in town. Go a few blocks down and you'll find Pho 79. I've also tried their shredded pork sandwiches. Man, they're delicious! Definitely not the same as the Lee's Sandwiches out in the West Coast. Good job. I also love their Thai tea. It's a little too sweet, but that's exactly how I like it.

    Went to Quang for the first time last week, and my dining companion was nursing a cold. He ordered the chicken pho (white meat), and I got the regular ol' pho tai. I asked for extra meat and whoa, they did not disappoint. My dining companion loved loved loved his chicken pho, but I didn't take a bite of his because I didn't want the plague. You'll have to take his word for it by proxy. My (beef) pho was good, but not quite the transcendent experience others have mentioned... but I would certainly go back here again. A tad too oily for my taste, and the flavor wasn't overly complex, but still quite lovely. What WAS totally transcendent, however, was their pork spring roll-- sweet lordy, SO GOOD! The pork was just so perfect... I am drooling just thinking about it. Probably the best pork spring rolls I've ever had. Their cafe sua (no "da" because I got it hot) was ennh, but I still drank it all. I'll have to try it again (for science!) when I'm back in a few weeks.

    I came here with my wife and a friend of mine one afternoon at something like 3pm. It was PACKED! I knew this was a good sign, if there was a wait at such an odd hour. I'm not sure if it is always like this, but based on the reviews here, people must really like this place. I'm certainly no exception. I had the Pho as I always do at Vietnamese restaurants. It was well done with lots of flavorful meat and wonderful broth. Cheap food, and great service despite how busy it was. I'll be back!

    If I had to choose one takeout place that I could take to my desert island, this is it. I could easily eat Quang every week and not get tired of it. I have ordered pho (usually beef with meatballs or the tripe and beef) every time. I cannot get away from it. Fresh ingredients, great broth and just enough heat from the jalapenos (which you can leave out if you prefer). Also, the portion (for less than $9) is such that I can usually eat it for lunch and dinner on a Saturday. The spring rolls, both pork and grilled pork sausage, are excellent. The fried pork egg rolls are the best around. Not 90% cabbage like at a buffet and with an outside cooked to crispy perfection. I'm drooling now just thinking of this place.

    Dear Quangs, I've spent a good portion of my life growing up with your restaurant. I've come accustomed to your food and I can say its definitely one of the best spots for Vietnamese food in Minnesota. Sincerely, Ed

    ** 11/26/2011 Update ** 1 star Food: The last two times I went there for pho I got really sick. And I rarely get sick with food. I'm not sure what it is, but I think it's prob cuz the broth is not hot enough. Sorry, can't never go back. I've rarely got sick and never gotten so sick that drag on to the following day. ** 10/7/2011 Update ** 4 stars Food: Bun Bo Heu is really salty Service is a whole lot better now! ** Original ** 5 stars Food: This the best Vietnamese Restaurant I've eaten so far at Minneapolis. I'm from Boston and so I've had my fair share of good Vietnamese food, unfortunately it is difficult to find it here. All the food on the menu are flavored nicely very authentic. Try all the pho and rice dish. Stay away from the stuff they sells at the counter. The pork and quail egg bun has too much dough and it's just a simple egg (taste different). The bun mi is also bad, no flavor. Location: it's easy to find on a busy street, but parking may be a bit difficult to get since they share parking lot with a few other businesses. Settings: Typical Vietnamese restaurant seating. You'll wait at the front to be seated. It could get pretty busy. Service: Although the food were good, the service is the worse I've ever experience. The owner (assuming it's the boss lady) are rude. Talking to a few people at the same time and keep on rushing everyone. I've been there many times and have never seen a smiley face at the counter. Price: Cheap just like other Vietnamese restaurant

    I visited it and had the special pho. It was tasty and had plenty of meat. It is not the best pho I have ever had but maybe in my top 40. The place also offers excellent rice plate, but I am not a big fan of all-lean grilled pork chops in it. The authentic and good ones have a little fat on them. The pastries and drinks are forgettable.

  • Neka F.

    Hands down the best pho in Minnesota is at quangs!!!! If your also have time to get there before their gone try the beef sandwiches. If you haven't heard I them it's because they only make a limited amount and when they are gone they are gone.

    This shouldn't come as much of a surprise really, but I'm just one more of the many, many fans of Quang. Personally, I don't think I would even need to order another main dish, as I could live off the appetizer menu alone. The egg rolls are amazing and the fried yams with shrimp have to be tasted to be believed! I always get an order of those no matter what. The wontons are good too, as they are the kind that has little bits of carrots and onions in them and I'm pretty sure that they have double wonton wrapping on them when they are fried because they seem thicker than other wontons I've had. The last time I was there I noticed that they did not have the steamed buns filled with pork, sausage and the quail egg anymore. I don't know if that was just for that day, or if they are gone from the menu entirely, but they were also awesome the time I had them. Pretty much like a Vietnamese version of a scotch egg. The prices for these appetizers are cheap enough where you don't mind, or even notice really, getting two or three of them before the meal just to try them out. Although I would love to live off the apps alone (one of these days I will!), I do end up getting a main course... which always ends up being too much. Their soups could probably feed an actual Vietnamese village they are so big and their pad Thai is really tasty. Oh and their hazelnut bubble tea is really smooth and delicious as well. I also love the grilled chicken dishes, as they are always fresh and have amazing flavor. I tend to stay away from the beef dishes, as the one I had seemed too fatty and gristly to me. Aside from that complaint, the other one I have seems to do with the service. I know it's always busy there, but I do feel that they have a general attitude when taking orders or paying up front. Also, they are pretty lax on their water refills, but the overall quality, taste and portions of the food are more than enough to make up for one less glass of water or no smile (it's a little thing, I know, but it helps sometimes). What this all boils down to is this: If you want some great Vietnamese at cheap prices with huge portions and don't care about who takes your order or getting that one refill of water, this is your place.

    Food Poisoning - Twice! - Now I am a Quang lover forever, best Pho and eggrolls in town. Great service, great vibe, but Quang has done me wrong twice by passing on a food born virus to me so I thought I would let everyone know. I have isolated it to the pre-made sandwiches that are sitting up next to the counter. It's not the Pho, that sh*t is heaven. It's those damn sandwiches... put them in the fridge or something. That is a major health hazard, and I'm paying the price for it now. Pork sausage and mayo in bread, left out for days probably. It's a nightmare, and I was twice a fool to eat them.. but never again. STAY AWAY from the sandwiches, they are a health risk and should either be taken off the menu or changed the way they are kept. The health dept. should really take a look at it.... Love Quang, hate the stomach virus it gave me twice. I warned you all.

  • Emily S.

    I'm on the fence about this place. I would never talk down about the food, but I've only had three items. The beef and eggroll salad...ok The caramelized lemongrass chicken...pretty tasty spring rolls...alright (I'm not a huge fan of cilantro though0 I've been here a couple times, and I would agree that the atmosphere is totally a cheap buffet type of place, but the food I think makes up for what it lacks. The price for the portion size is probably the best thing about this place. You will definitely leave with take out for tomorrow! The only thing that gets me, and all vietnamese food for that matter, is the cilantro. I like it, but in in an abundance, and I've noticed that Quang's does not take that lightly. Besides that, its good if your just passing through the area, i would definietly recommend it, but if you are looking for the subtleness and authenticity of food, go somewhere else. The food is pretty "ok" and thats all I can say!

  • Elder Z.

    Came to this place while on vacation. I was told it was some of the best the cities had to offer. I've been to my share of good and bad vietnamese places on both coasts, I seriously wasn't expecting too much from this place. I was a dumb ass. This place is awesome. We arrived in the early evening and it was pretty packed, still we got lucky and got a table pretty quickly. The service was GREAT (a rare thing in vietnamese restaurants, in my experience at least). It was a pretty warm day, too hot for pho (which I had been told was excellent), so instead I got a broken rice plate of porkchop, egg loaf, shredded pork, and a fried egg. We also started with an order each of the egg rolls and spring rolls. The spring rolls were tasty, but were served with a plain hoisin sauce, I preffer a peanuty sauce, but it's all good. The egg rolls however were awesome. A bit different and more robust than the typical vietnamese egg rolls I'm used too, but delicous and perfectly crispy. When my plate arrived I was happy to see a HUGE portion (I was pretty damn hungry), which also proved to be delicious. Well marinated porkchop and delicious egg loaf, but the mvp was the shredded pork, not always my favorite, this one was perfectly cooked and seasoned with toasted rice powder. Awesome. I accompanied my meal with a tasty fresh squeezed soda lemonade. Very, very satisfying experience. Before I left I grabbed a banh mi for later, it turned out to be exactly what I think a banh mi should be. Crusty light bread, salty cold cuts, and just enough vegetables. Considering the size of the portions (we had plenty of left overs) and quality of the food the bill was pretty damn reasoable. Parking kinda sucks, but Quang's is a truly great eatery. I will be back.

    Heard great things about the pho. I didn't enjoy it as much as Pho 79. A little too sweet for my taste. I splitting hairs here. Still top 5 that I've had. The beef was rare and vegetables were fresh. I placed a walk-in take out order when they were slammed and had my food 7 minutes later. I definitely recommend it.

    Hubby and I made a resolution this year to try all new restaurants because we were falling into the trap of eating at the same places even though we like trying new things. I was having tests at Abbott NW Hospital and had three hours to kill between them. Hubby joined me for lunch since he works downtown. We haven't had Vietnamese in a long time and were really happy with everything we ordered. I had the spicy beef soup/stew that has three chilis noted on the menu. I asked the server how hot that was and she said if you don't like spice, it is too spicy. If you like spice, it is great, not too hot but a flavourful spice. She was right! It was fabulous and a huge portion. Hubby had the Pork, wonton and vermicelli soup... which he also enjoyed. We also ordered spring rolls and the paper wrapped rolls which we really liked. The service was great! The gal was friendly and attentive. The food came extremely fast and portionswere huge. We will definitely go back!

    Amazing! Went here for the first time last week and had some awesome caramelized lemongrass chicken over broken rice as well as fresh spring rolls and sticky rice w/coconut. The food and service were both fantastic and we were so impressed we went back the next day. I grew up in Oakland and this is equal to if not better than ANY place in the San Francisco Bay Area! My husband loves Pho with the tendon, tripe, beef, etc. and has eaten it all oven California and says Quang's is the best he's had. We also loved the fried yam/shrimp appetizer and the caramelized shrimp vermicelli bowl. Great food, good service and cheap! My new go to Viet place!

    This is the 3rd time I ate here. Previous visits left me a good memory. I got some stir fry something years ago and 2 years ago got a seafood pho. But last weekend I tried their #504 beef noodle soup/pho. I really wasn't impressed. The broth was oily and seems wasn't a natural broth or they added something into it, the meatball and beef slices were flavorless and the noodles scanty. Compare with Pho 79 I tried several months ago. I definitely will go there although in here their pho was cheaper and the portion was not as big as Pho 79. I guess when there is a comparison I know which place I like for pho. My friend though she likes pho in here not a fan of Pho 79, too sweet she said.

  • Andy B.

    This has to be the best Vietnamese on Eat Street. I think it's terribly consistent, everything I've had on their menu is perfect, cooked very quickly, they have perfect portion size, and is always hot and fresh. The hazelnut bubble tea here is also CRAAZY good. Gotta try. My absolute favorite is #304 Carmelized shrimp over broken rice. You won't be disappointed. I promise.

  • Meghan P.

    This is based on one visit, I'll update if/when I come back! I had beef pho. I'm pretty new to pho so I don't know the ins and outs, but I liked it. It had a good anise flavor. It wasn't served hot enough though (I do know it's supposed to be hot enough to cook the bean sprouts when you add them). The meat came in the soup (not on the side) and was tender. My coworker and I also split spring rolls (the kind with shrimp)- delish! We also had tea (jasmine, from a tea bag), a kind of spongey rice flour cake I can't remember the name of, and bubble tea to take to our consultation . She had the traditional soup of central Vietnam (a kind with a pock hock in it). She thought it was pretty good.

    I'm from Chicago. Quang's Pho blow any Pho place here. One thing about Vietnamese restaurants in Chicago. They overprice soda...sometimes $2 per can, no lower than $1.50. Quang's has FREE refills on soda. The egg rolls is different but very good. I love this place. If Quang was located in Chicago, I'd go there everyday.

  • S O.

    I actually stopped going here for years because I felt food was overrated. I went back recently and I thought the food was much better than I remembered and our server was great. It should be noted that quang's does NOT break out your bill though, so you're left with only a sum total. When you go up to the register to pay, it's so busy up there the last thing you want to do is math. I'm convinced that they pre-tip too, but I cant be sure..

    we went here for thanksgiving! it was one of the only places open that sound good so we thought we would try it out. the place was packed! (good sign) the food rocked. the cheese puffs were wonderful, the deep-fried sweet-potato/shrimp was to die for! everyone except me ordered pho. they were all happy except for my friend who ordered the meatball soup. he said the meatballs were flavorless but the broth was awesome. i ordered the shrimp and onion with broken rice....so good! i was satisfied! who says you have to eat turkey on thanksgiving! i am thankful for delicious ethnic food - that is what our country is all about anyway. the service was great too. our server was so cute and friendly and the food came out unbelievably fast! i didn't use the bathroom so i guess i cant yelp this one :)

    I love and miss this place so much. It was my go to place for delicious pho when I was living in the Twin Cities. I got all my co workers hook on this place. If you're American and is iffy about trying pho; you will not go wrong with their vermecilli salads! They have the best pho that I've ever had from any other place. I also get the vermecilli salads and fresh spring rolls. They have great service and are super busy most of the time. Oh yes, and their vietnamese sub sandwiches are also super yummy! The only con to this place is that parking can be a pain on a busy day. And they are closed on Tuesdays. Otherwise, best place to have some pho!

    Everything I've tried so far is great, particularly the pho and the excellent yam appetizers. I have little else to add that others haven't mentioned already... oh yeah, I forgot. For a Minneapolis restaurant, the prices are very good (few items are above $10 in price)! Come here if you like Vietnamese food.

    One of my favorite lunch spots. The spring rolls are excellent. I'm a fan of big rice noodle salads, these are the best. Big variety of meats/toppings, plus enough for a meal later. The prices are really good, service is ok, can be a little slow on collecting orders but food seems to come out quickly. Large menu with lots of options. My bf enjoys the pho here, says it's one of his fave places as well.

  • Katie B.

    Everybody says 'go to Quang, go to Quang!'. Now, it's not bad. It's bright and has the tacky Asian decor so it seems authentic, but there is just something lacking about this place. I only had a bowl of pho and it was alright, if not a little oily. The prices weren't bad, the service was ok, but I much prefer Pho Tau Bay down the street. I'll go back to Quang if the former is closed.

    I love Quang. I have never had a disappointing meal here. The spring rolls are fresh and delicious, the vermicelli salads hit the spot and the soups are always satisfying. This is one of my favorite places to eat because, well, the food is to die for. The prices are also reasonable. The menu is also extensive enough that I never get bored.

    (5)
  • Foxy L.

    I used to eat here every week (sometimes more) even back when it was a hole in the wall and not even a restaurant. From the testimony of my Vietnamese friends and from my own experience, it is probably the best pho in town. Service is generally very prompt and efficient, but don't expect your water to be refilled. Pricing is very inexpensive, especially to poor starving college kids, there is nothing like a warm huge bowl of Pho.

    (5)
  • Shimkiri S.

    I love the pho here! It is so fresh and delicious! There is really nothing more I can say, I love pho and Quang's pho is the best that I have found in the Twin Cities! Oh, and the appetizers and other soups here are good too.

    (5)
  • Kevin H.

    Considering the large number of Pho destinations of this block alone, Quang has a lot to prove in order to stand out. I have, admittingly, not tried many menu options, but have enjoyed the Pho, although it is a bit on the salty side (I always feel a little bit off after polishing of a bowl). Take out options are good for Pho, I can usually get a few meals out of one $8 purchase, so the price is right. Closed Tuesdays, and often busy enough to have trouble finding a table during dinner rush.

    (4)
  • WK L.

    Hands down the best noodles I have had in the Twin Cities. I don't go there for service. In fact, you have to accept that the service is lacking. The seabass soup (only available on weekends) and the beef curry with clear noodles are my favorite. They are must-try's! Lunch hours are usually pretty busy, so go there for dinner if you don't wanna fight the crowd.

    (5)
  • Ninja S.

    As some of the others have correctly stated, this is the best pho in Minneapolis. Nicollet has a ton of pho houses, but this one reigns supreme. Grab some of the viet iced coffee afterwards and traditional sandwich on your way out the door to share later on with those foolish enough not to come with you.

    No frills, no gimmicks, just quality food served by good people. The Pho here is on a different plateau then most places in the Twin Cities, it's comforting and like no other. The only other item I've had is the Banh Boa or the steamed dumpling filled with pork. It's great for a quick snack or appetizer. Looking forward to stopping by on my next visit.

  • Dan H.

    My 1st time at Quang yesterday. Excellent service, almost uncomfortably prompt but I have yet to suffer any ill effects from hastily prepared cuisine. So I'll chock it up to kicking butt! I had the #307. Yes, using the numbers is completely legit as I lost my Vietnamese, in well, Vietnam. Basically it boiled down to a Vietnamese salad (mock duck, Tofu, lettuce, pho, peanuts, onions). It was super. Although, I must admit if they would have patently ripped off the one from Lotus I would have married the chef. We also had deep fried yam and shrimp artery clogging cakes. That I imagine if there were a Vietnamese state fair they'd be served on a stick and dipped in chocolate. Really good this way though.

  • Patrick M.

    Disclaimer: I've only been to Quang's once and it was in the summer of 2008. So my review is solely based on that experience. Really, really good veggie sandwiches! Truth be told, they weren't that filling but for $4.00 each, you really can't beat the price. While the dining room isn't tiny, it is a bit cramped. As a take out option, Quang's can't be beat. But, it can be a little uncomfortable sitting in their small dining room for a full meal.

    The eggrolls are light and crispy, the spring rolls are cilantro filled. Quang is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in town, and I can't get enough. A bowl of Pho could feed a family of 5, and the first slurp of broth is heavenly. The Vietnamese style sandwiches are great (I forget what they're called at the moment), with lots of cilantro and jalapenos on a crispy roll. Although I'm not one to order pad thai even at a Thai restaurant, (I'm more of a curry girl) a friend ordered it at Quang once, and was pleased. Portions are huge, and even though I'm not a fan of bubble tea, they have that there too. The waitstaff is friendly enough, and there's usually a wait during peak hours, so try to make it there early. The only thing...it's LOUD...so conversations aren't easy. If you don't mind quietly and contentedly slurping soup and crunching eggrolls, this is the place. Parking isn't too bad, there's a lot on both sides of the building (one only available on weekends) and street parking isn't too bad around the neighborhood. I wish they delivered!

    I was all set to love Pho Tau Bay down the street, based upon the glowing recommendation of my pho sifu Asian Mustache and the assurance that the mama-san DID, in fact, have a glass eye (I'm a sucker for that kind of thing), but sadly, Pho Tau Bay served up kinda sweet and bland, and I didn't see the pirate mama-san anywhere. Pho Quang, however, served up with a powerful broth, so much so that I went back in less than 24 hours. I also was charmed by the perky waitresses in their matching red T-shirts; nobody had a glass eye there, but they were cute as hell and that counts for something in my book.

    (5)
  • Ham S.

    Probably one of the better pho places in MN. The service was quite nice (for a Vietnamese place - which is usually no frills) and the noodle soup was good. I got a rice vermicelli dish with beef and egg rolls which wasn't bad. The sauce could be a lot better but they won me over with the nice waiter that we had. I'd recommend it.

  • Jerry M.

    For the money easily one of the most reasonable and delicious restaurants in Minneapolis....Pho, salads, platters...great choices for the meat lovers...not a vegan/veggie. The sandwiches are spectacular but often sell out, literally a steal. No much in the way of atmosphere, but able staff get the food to the table. A total lack of pretense makes it a great place.

    (5)
  • N. S.

    Seemingly authentic Vietnamese at great prices. Service is great, but the tables are sparse. Also, you have to brave the crowds coming in to use the deli counter serving bahn mi and what looked like some kind of dumpling. I tried the egg roll and beef on rice noodles (Bun Thit & Cha Gio). The dish was excellent. A bed of vermicelli topped with slivered carrot, grilled beef with chopped peanuts, a crispy egg roll, and cilantro (a lot of cilantro). And only $6.75. Crazy. If only I could use chopsticks...

  • Jennifer H.

    The food is amazing, quick, cheap, and friendly! There are a good number of vegetarian and pescatarian options. I got bun chay, the tofu and mock duck salad, and it was literally a full pound of food. They're not stingy with the tofu and mock duck either, which really makes me mad about some other Asian joints.

    Delicious food without a doubt, but please change your menu prices online to match what you actually charge. 8.95 + 3.50 does not equal $18. I see this practice at far too many restaurants. It's deceptive at best and a bit devious at worst. C'mon Quangs, you're better than that. You know I'm gonna get the Sea Bass Soup no matter how much it costs, just be honest with me!

  • Pat S.

    In my not so humble opion, the other two reviews are not giving this place due credit. Quang's is still the best Vietnamese joint I've ever experienced. It started as a tiny, 7-table, hole in the wall years ago. Around 1998, it expanded to its current location, right across Nicollet from the old place. The BBQ beef noodle salad is out of this world. The Pho is excellent. There's a bright red beef soup served with french bread that sends me straight to heaven. The mixed plate of pork meat is an adventure. I still don't know how they get the neon yellow color. For about a year I pretty much lived on their main sandwich (pate and headcheese). 2 of those and a liter of coke from the Mercado next door. About $5. It's been almost 2 years since I was last there, so I can't speak for current prices. Seriously, you can't go wrong here. Unless you don't realize what "tripe" is. Too funky for me.

    Whenever I make it back to Mpls, Quang is a must stop. The whole family comes from all corners of the Twin Cities and the requests fly! Spring rolls, chicken wings, beef salad, duck, pho, curry beef soup, pork - 3 ways! All tasty, served fast by a helpful wait staff. Great food and the prices are reasonable. Rush over right now and fill your tummy!

    i live in chicago. every time i come back to mpls (i'm from here) i eat here. it's cheap and good. where can you go wrong? it's more of a lunch spot...and try to get there a little before noon to get a table because the place fills up real quick. the spring rolls are outstanding. i've also had the beef pho. my boyfriend always always gets the lemongrass chicken. the last time i got some sort of noodle dish that blew my socks off. they have some strange pastries at the counter...which i'm sure are good but i normally pass on those. this place is the best vietnamese i have ever had.

    Quang Restaurant is a solid restaurant. I can't say they are the best Vietnamese restaurant in the theTwin Cities, but they are definitely the most popular. I usually order the mi kho which tastes good, but always leaves me with a msg high afterwards that makes me lightheaded. The Vietnamese sandwiches are again solid sandwiches, but not great. The best Vietnamese sandwiches in the US come from Orange county and it's not Lee's sandwiches either contrary to popular belief. Quang Deli is like Lee's, popular and solid food, but not great. I would give them 4 stars, which is how I feel while eating their food, but the msg high afterwards always makes me regret eating there, so I have to subtract a star for that.

  • Johanna C.

    delicious authentic vietnamese food! i usually get the pho with sliced beef and meatballs but i would choose which pho you like based on what cuts of meat you prefer. i definitely want to go back to try their banh mi sandwiches! quang's doesnt get 5 stars bc coming from texas where there are lots of viet restaurant options, the prices are a little higher than i'm normally used to paying for viet food. the counter where you pay also includes some fun snacks/dessert that you can try if you're feeling a little adventurous!

    Oh how I miss Minneapolis and Quangs! This place is ALWASYS packed especially with Asians. IBeing raised in MN I didn't realized how spoiled I had it with good options of Viet food. I miss going here on Sundays with my crew. I love the eggrolls, the spring rolls and the list goes on. I always get a Banh Mi to go! The sea bass is a must! I try to go here when I'm back in town but since Miami doesn't have places like Quangs and I miss it! Stop by and get some yummy Pho if you have a chance.

    Quang... oh Quang. You saucy minx. So good for Pho. But also for traditional Vietnamese fare. They also have Lucky Buddha, which is one of my favorite Asian lagers. Not open on Tuesdays though.. which has gotten me a few times.

    Their's food taste good because a lot MSG. Bad customer service. The service were not nice because they may think I am a poor student. I ask for lemon 3 times and the service still forget it.Finally I tip them good because I don't want be rude like them.

    As far as Vietnamese restaurants go in Minneapolis this is one of the best. Good, 99% authentic, clean, and reasonably priced. Have the Chao Long on weekends during cold or rainy days. Really hits the spot!

  • Aubrey L.

    Oh Quang, I love you! Seriously, really good comfort food is to be found here. I normally get their food as take away but have sat down once to eat in the restaurant as well. On a purely take away basis, they are aces! Order will be up in about 15 mins and you can call ahead if you want. Once my call disconnected mid order and they tried to call me back, which I appreciated. I usually order the Pho Tai Bo Vien which is with sliced beef and meatballs, item 403 or 407 on their menu and some bubble tea. Sometimes I will just get some pho broth if I feel I'm coming down with a cold. Anyway, Quang pretty much improves my day if I'm hungry and feeling down.

    Born and bred in NYC, home of many many authentic ethnic restaurants...including vietnamese. However, QUANG is the BEST VIETNAMESE restaurant I have ever been to. Their pho noodles are great and never ever leave without having had their summer and spring rolls. Oohhh...how i crave those summer rolls.

  • sarah p.

    Pho -- good Lemongrass chicken -- good Beef and eggroll salad -- meh Strawberry bubble tea -- similar to a melted McDonald's Strawberry shake, and IMO, that's a GOOD thing. Highlight of evening: When I dropped off a Yelp pen and "You've been Yelped" card, the girl behind the register said, "Oh, sure, I know Yelp" The guy next to her asked "What's Yelp?" "It's a porn site," she said with a straight face and then burst out laughing.

  • Kedar D.

    Quang has large portions and a decent number of vegan options. But the food itself is industrial, heavy, oily and salty in taste; it surely lacks the delicate flavors that Vietnamese food calls for. Jasmine Deli is still the undisputed king of Vietnamese food and will remain that way. In terms of atmosphere, Quang seems more like a greasy Chinese diner/buffet with laminted tables, vinyl seating and fluorescent lights. This is a good place to get your fix for oily, heavy food, but it is no culinary gem, nor is it representative of true Vietnamese cuisine.

    Great value. Great food. Atmosphere is great for people watching since there are no barriers and it attracts a lot of different groups- families, couples, lots-o-Asians which is always a good sign, hipsters. Good food knows no boundaries! It's one of my favorites to go when I want something cheap, big portions (usually I have lunch the next day), and I don't want to worry if it will be good.

  • Kat W.

    Quang is a marvelous place. My family was introduced by a Vietnamese friend around 1999-2000-ish. And after we had our first Quang experience, it became our Sunday post-church destination for a fair number of years. The only thing that is painful about Quang is figuring out where to park. Otherwise, the food is fantastic. You can order enough food to feed a small army for $30. Personally, I enjoy the wonton soup, the springrolls, the eggrolls, the vietnamese iced coffee and the noodle salads. The pho is phenomenal but I can never seem to tackle an entire bowl on my own. The service can be a bit brusque at times but there's no need to make the waitstaff coddle you at this place. If you waste time being indecisive and not ordering, you're not eating, and eating is why you go to Quang. Quang is pretty much always busy but, they seem to move people through quickly enough that there's never a particularly long wait.

    You know what? For Minneapolis, their Asian food game is above average. But the single reason I am giving them 5 stars is for their chocolate chip cookie. Omfg, it is sooooo good. I think there's an entire stick of butter in each cookie & it's thick as fuck & almost as big as your face. I randomly saw it come out as I was checking out the first time I ate here cuz they're kept on the counter & got it on a whim. I'm not a huge cookie person but these looked good? I don't know exactly what compelled me to buy a giant $2 cookie. Anyways, it took me like 3 days to eat the thing cuz I would break off pieces & warm it up in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. It's so good!! I actually requested only the cookie when my roommate made a food run. Then I WENT BACK to eat here just to get the cookie a 3rd time but they were sold out. This was the day before I moved out of Minneapolis so you can imagine my heartache. I was really sad. Asian food wise: pho, ok.. Vermicelli, dfft spin & needs more flavor but ok.. Egg rolls, ok.. Chicken wings, fine.. That popular chicken dish, tasted Korean/ok.. But get the fucking cookie!!!

  • Sunny T.

    Let me start off by saying that I love Quang. And you're thinking, say whaaaa? Some one get this girl some help--she claims she loves Quang and yet gives them a one star?! Liar. Yes, I love Quang--I've been a loyal customer since day one when they still boasted the green banner sign (long-time customers know what I'm talking about), relying on them for delicious takeout as well as a casual dinner out. From their spring rolls and pho, to their amazing flan, Quang sure delivers on their authentic Vietnamese fare. But where they fail is their service. Now I know what you're all thinking--are you kidding me, a one star simply for service? I've never been the kind of petty person to judge a restaurant solely on service, but Quang--every dang time I call or come to pick up, I leave with a sour taste in my mouth due to the extremely rude boss/manager. Seriously, have you ever heard of the word "nice"? Or possibly "smile"? On my most recent visit, I asked for some clarification on a dessert, and instead of trying to be helpful, the boss gave me several eye rolls and answered in annoyance. I mean, do you have somewhere to be? Clearly not at home taking care of your children since I can assure you the entire Quang staff is family-ran. Even worse, I doubt someone with such a snobby and impatient attitude would dedicate a second of their time to read this review, which in all honesty is meant to provide some feedback on an area where their business lacks: customer service. Bottom line: while Quang serves up delicious food, this gives them no excuse to treat their customers inferiorly.

    My ratings correlate to the type of establishment. This is a Vietnamese restaurant that serves Pho and other authentic Vietnamese dishes. When taking this into account, this is a full five star experience. Friday night. 8pm. Place was PACKED. When I say packed, I mean every chair had a butt in it. We needed a table for two. They sat us at a table with 4 strangers, elbow to elbow. Others would cry out in disservice. Not my date and I. She's from China and I've spend a lot of time overseas. This is authentic. Get over it. I loved it. Does the waiter make small talk with you and ask how your day was. NO. Want to know why? He/she is dealing with more customers at the same time then you have in your life. Haha. Ok, but for real. This was as busy a place as I've ever seen. Everything we ordered came out in lighting fashion and was hot and fresh. The sliced beef pho was downright incredible. The eggroll was hot, crispy and nicely cut for portions. The price was right. The ambience was wonderful. Eat street location in Minneapolis yet free parking. Hmmmm I'll be back.

  • Will V.

    I go out of my way to come here just for the 502 Pho which has seafood in it. Out of all the Pho places I have eaten in the area nothing beats this broth. I also like the spring rolls which are fresh like it should be. I am a definite fan of the food here. The only thing I have to say is it's hit or miss with the wait staff here. Sometimes you end up sitting around waiting for water, a spoon, or something else they forgot to bring. Yes it can get busy here and their aren't that many waiters but this happens also when their slow. You get that feeling like the waiter just doesn't care. From time to time I have had great service here though but the many other times I've had bad service makes me give 3 instead of 5 stars this restaurant is deserving for it's food.

  • Jessica L.

    I have been there couple times and tried almost all the pho they have. I am a big fan of their egg noodle, which reminds me of Taiwanese noodle. The egg noodle has an unique flavor and both dry and soup noodle are good. Also, love their fried shrimp!

    (5)
  • Jerice A.

    They are always busy. You can expect typical service at an Asian restaurant. You should figure out what you want fast, because your server won't be there for more than 10 seconds to take your order. They Bring food fast- not too much on small talk. My favorite is the Vietnamese spring rolls and beef brisket pho. The pork chops and rice though are my second favorite. Pork has been marinated, has grill marks, amazing flavor and pounded thin. Served with cucumber /carrots/lettuce with the special sauce on the side )fish sauce, sugar, water, and other spices. They're desserts are really good too! I like the coffee boba tea, but the jelly drinks are pretty good. Finding a spot is hard especially on the weekends because it's jam packed so come early or order Togo.

  • George G.

    As a former member resident of New York City's Chinatown, I would say that the food in this place was equally as good as the best Vietnamese restaurants I have been to. I like the ambience of the large room as well as the service. Everything about this restaurant fell into place very well. I highly recommend this place. Very impressed what Minnesota has to offer.

  • Jason W.

    This size of this place is like 5 Vietnamese restaurants had a meeting and decided to merge into one big hub. The place is always crowded despite its size but don't let that discourage you, as turnover is high and tables will empty out quicker than you expect. Not always a good thing, as I found out minutes later. Service could definitely be better. As I was poring over their extensive menu, the server came not one, not two, but three times to take my order. I know they're busy and want quick turnarounds but don't they teach you in Serving 101 that a customer is usually only ready to order when they place their menus down? To exacerbate things, our server was also unaware that they were out of several menu items/ingredients, which resulted in even more back and forth. I think a total of 6 trips to my table were made before my order was eventually finalized. Food was decent though! #310 was delicious. I actually never had bun vermicelli before until now, and only got it as my third choice after they were out of my first two. It might now be my first choice in Viet cuisine over the quintessential Pho dishes! Where have you been all my life, bun?! #101 was your standard summer roll with shrimp, which was all right but the dish got really messy when everything burst out of its thin fragile wrappers. I'm certainly interested in trying their other dishes, particularly the sold out specialty ones, but I'll probably come back at a less busy time, if one even exists for this place.

    Back in Minneapolis to hit a favorite--Quang. We had vermicelli with tofu and mock duck, #503 pho with beef, tendons, tripe, meatballs, egg rolls --pork and veggie and a jasmine bubble tea. They do such a nice job. We have leftovers for tomorrow . Service is polite and prompt. Food is fresh and tasty. One of my favorite Vietnamese spots!

  • Vee V.

    There's already a shit ton of reviews here, but I'll throw in my two cents anyhow because I'm Vietnamese and I am proudly a pho snob...well any Viet foods snob. I've taught my boyfriend that when you walk into an Asian restaurant and see it filled with a bunch of Asians here and there, or the majority of the diners are Asian, then you've come to a good Asian food spot. The food is most likely authentic and damn good. If this is not what you see upon entering, then take your ass somewhere else or be prepared to be disappointed. Quang is always packed, and it's packed with Asians, plus all the colors of the Rainbow, this place is the shit. I rarely eat out for Viet food, I'll make it myself or call my mom and beg her to make me pho when I'm lazy. But when she's not available, and my hands don't work to cook, I go to Quangs. Their pho is the only pho in MN, that's not made by a Viet mom in her home kitchen, that I enjoy. The broth is clear, which is a good sign it's done right (remember that all my new pho eaters), and there's depth to the broth. I also love their weekend specials, especially the Bun Rieu, which is a crab noodle soup. Can't go wrong with the rice platters either. I almost always order a few banh mi sandwiches to go. You could order just about anything here and be satisfied on flavor and authenticity. Best part is the prices are reasonable. Only drawbacks are parking and service. The parking lot is always packed. Do yourself a favor and just find street parking right off the bat. The service is hit or miss. I've experienced extremely slow service that just pisses me off as I watch everyone around me chow down. I'll still come back over and over again though.

    Came in for lunch. The place was busy which was really nice to see. Service was really good for how busy they were. They really have this down. Now onto the food. One word: Amazing!! I am a big lover of cream cheese wonton and they ones here are perfect. All the food was very well done.

    I've been a regular at Quangs for sometime now. They are always busy and I love how the staff is friendly and always happy. I always get the combination pho or bun bo hue. So good and fills me up for $8. Everytime I come I never have to wait more than 10 min for my food. The only downfall, you will definitely leave smelling like pho all up in your hair and clothes.

  • Shawn S.

    I don't have a favorite Pho shop in Minneapolis in this area. And I haven't found one yet that I didn't think had delicious food, authentic service and atmosphere, and reasonable prices. Quang has Pho and other dishes that are worth checking out, and is one of the original Eat Street institutions. So check it out and some of the others in the area and pick your favorite. Each is fantastic! Could make for a great argument on which is the best one.

  • Tony D.

    Service: Our waiter was a young man who had "ok" customer service. He did not check up on us after receiving our food and handed us our check half way into the meal. The hostess was fine. After all, you don't come into a restaurant for the customer service. Food: We ordered pho and bun rieu which were great. Quang is the best vietnamese restaurant compared to others surrounding the area. Coming from a Vietnamese background, Quang has excellent food. The food came out quick despite other tables being full. We ate during the early lunch hours of Saturday. It seemed like Quang stayed busy with people constantly leaving and coming in. Our pho and bun rieu (crab soup) had no shortage of fresh vegetables on the plate. They are not cheap with their vegetables as we received different sets of vegetables for the pho and bun rieu. Price: The price of the menu items were cheap and reasonable. Overall, my family and I would come back. The food is one of the best I have in terms of Vietnamese food. I would recommend Quang's to my family and friends.

  • Anya C.

    Good size of food, reasonable price. Fried shrimp and sweet potato was good but the shrimp was small. Pork wonton noodle soup was ok - the soup was quite sweet, wonton was from frozen. Pork platter was good. The egg roll was good. The roasted pork was good. There is a bit spicy in the fish source but was not bad. A bit dirty in the restaurant though. Good service.

  • Justin L.

    I can't really say too much about this place given the fact that they ran our of banh mi when we went to get some...sooo...my review is based on the only thing we could get for take out... spring rolls (goi cuon)! The combo was your typical one you can get everywhere...pork slices and shrimp...shrimp looked kind of sketchy... The nem nuong (grilled pork) spring rolls were worth visiting this place IMO. Tasty grilled pork with cruchy fried onions/shallots in the roll. Great smoky and sweet oniony taste. Perfect. I like how they give the classic peanut/hoisin dipping sauce but also the a spicy peanut/fish sauce dip. Both were great with the rolls. One bite with one sauce, the next bite with the other, repeat! If I ever get back to MN, I will definitely try their sit down menu. Can't go wrong with Viet food/pho at a family owned restaurant!

  • Shawn W.

    One of my favorite spots on eat street. The rare beef pho is ridiculously good and the spring rolls are out of this world. Service is fast but can be unfriendly at times only because the place is always packed. If it's a nice day and you're rolling solo or in a twosome grab a spot on the patio

    Food was easily a 3 or 4. Service was A one. All I wanted was to substitute beef for pork they said it wasn't possible. After thinking about it I decided to get the meal. After being presented the food I was disappointed to see that the pork was not already in the soup but on the side which would make substituting it for beef very possible.

  • Michael B.

    I'm sad to say that Quang is not what it used to be - prices have almost doubled and portions have been reduced. Most upsetting thing of all is that they have run out of my favorite item the last three times I have visited - why not just take it off the menu so I can just forget about this place once and for all?

    We arrived with a party of four at 8:50 on a night when the restaurant closed at 9:00. We were seated and urged to order quickly. That alone would have been fine. We weren't provided menus, so I had to grab some for the party. The waitress came over immediately and impatiently asked us if we were ready. We complied and quickly tried to choose off the menu in real time. We were standoffishly rushed. Then we were separately and rudely approached by 5 staff members separately and asked if we had ordered. This was bush league service. If they want to close earlier they should just change the time on the door.

  • Amy J.

    Quang is always busy and always serves good vietnamese food. All the bubble teas are addicting and the pho is always served in a generous portion at a good price. Everything always hits the spot especially pho on a cold winter day. We ordered 200 spring rolls for my sisters graduation party a while back because they're so dang good! Still have yet to hit up Pho 79 to compare but Quang definitely will have a bigger range in vietnamese food like banh mi and other dishes. I'm pretty sure the pho is laden with MSG however so I don't drink tons of the broth.

  • Sonya K.

    If you aren't looking for an intimate setting, and just looking for a casual restaurant that serves inexpensive, delicious, and consistently good food then this is the place to go and be seen (everyone and their mama goes here, so you'll probably bump into someone you know). It's always busy, but you will get seated rather quickly and the food is ALWAYS consistently delicious. The owner's son is also hot. That's just a plus, haha...

  • Sherry L.

    Don't even bother. The deplorable lack of service at Qang is so ratchet that if I could only get Vietnamese food here and nowhere else in Minnesota I'd rather drive six hours to Chicago than patronize this place. I've read several other yelp reviewers who gave expressed similarly that the rude bitch behind the register barely deigns people with acknowledgement. She becomes so vehemently dismissive of customers that you'd mistakenly assume you were taking up her time by going to their restaurant. If it weren't so off-putting, it'd almost be embarrassing.

  • Andy N.

    Might up the rating after visiting another time but so far my experience has just been mediocre. Cha Gio (pork spring rolls) were rather salty and kind of fatty but at least it was fried just right. Not sure why they cut them both up into a million pieces but it was destroyed! Pho broth is rather meh ... Almost like they got lazy and didn't cook it long enough then covered up the flavor with cloves. At least they didn't OVERkill it with msg but there is a good bit in there. Mr Quang should get with the program and start to offer a filet meat option! Would make this a lot better since I spit out half of the (tai) meat. Soy milk was tasty, not sure if it was canned or not. Service was rather rude for not being packed. The end.

    (2)
  • Sondra S.

    I am officially addicted to this restaurant. Especially to their Vermicelli salad. Usually get combo with grilled shrimp, egg roll and grilled beef. It's always FAST and courteous service no matter how busy the restaurant is. Don't even get me started on their Vietnamese coffee....!

  • Austyn M.

    My husband and I love to grab some pho at Quang's to warm us up on cold days [which in Minnesota is about half of the year!]. The food is always excellent, and every time we have gone (evenings), it is packed. My only gripe is that the servers always seem in such a hurry. It is almost impossible to get a refill on a drink without waving someone down- so we always just get water. I am never able to finish a bowl of pho in one sitting, so for $8 I get 2 meals. This is practically the only place we frequent in the area where we can eat a satisfying dinner for under $25 including tip.

  • Jonathan T.

    Sorry Rachel Ray, but a lot of Viets would have to disagree with you. I appreciate the large variety of reasonably priced rice plates (com tam), the vermicelli salads (bun with insert meat here), and the appetizers. However, I didn't find the soups to be all that great. They are loaded with MSG! I mean, wow, the Bun Bo Hue was almost uneatable. My father, who is a diabetic, had blurry vision after eating pho there! The pho broth needs to have the bones cook much longer to bring out that flavor. Great deli. The Banh Mi Thit or Banh Mi Heo Nuong are both tasty. I would give four stars for the deli, two stars for the soup dishes, and three for everything else. Everything but the soups here are alright.

  • Kate M.

    This is more of a 2-half review, but three isn't horribly inaccurate. Lunch is a mess of people..last time I went the host threw some menus towards a table to seat us. We were at 2-four person tables and ended up sharing the table with some other people who shot us the stink eye most of lunch. Sorry we didn't mean to sit here...first. The food is good enough to return. It comes out fast enough to almost be disconcerting. So, a staple of eat street and pho desires. Not the best food ever, but worth a return trip when a need I vermicelli salad.

  • Allison G.

    I love Quang! The food is absolutely delicious. Today I had the pork and seafood pho with rice noodles- the broth was fantastic, the pork and seafood plentiful, and there were tons of noodles. I of course added lots of jalapeños to my pho :) the portion was very large! I couldn't finish it all. I also ordered a pork bahn mi for later. I couldn't resist! I am very picky when it comes to my bahn mi sandwiches. Quang delivers, but it's not the best I've ever had. The pork was seasoned well, the bread was perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. My only complaint is that there weren't enough vegetables. If they doubled or tripled the veggies I would be in heaven! To drink I had the lychee bubble tea which was a mixture of green tea, lychee juice, and tapioca pearls. It was tasty, but not any different than bubble tea elsewhere. Plus I'm more of a fan of the blended version. Overall, Quang is awesome! :)

    This is a great way to mix up the out-to-eat scene. Quang is always pretty crowded...but for a reason! The pho is phenomenal and beyond filling. The broth alone is to die for. The eggrolls are good enough to order multiple plates and its a great value, too! Parking is very difficult and it may take a little while to get a seat, so plan accordingly!

    My favourite vietnamese restaurant in the twin cities - for sure! Favourites include: Vegetarian Vermicelli and Grilled Beef Vermicelli. Their grilled beef is just amazing and their tofu/ mock duck pieces in the vegetarian vermicelli dish is so flavourful! These are the two dishes I will usually order when I chow down here. Service is always so friendly and efficient. You get to know the wait staff and they get to know you and they always remember your little requests. I love it here :) The only thing is I am always really sleepy and really thirsty and sometimes don't feel all that well after a meal here. But, I keep coming back anyway! Oh, and I think Rachel Ray once made a visit to Quang's too!

    I've been a once-a-month diner at Quang for decades and I still get a thrill when I get the menu and pick out something that I haven't ordered before. Of course the spring rolls are a requirement and I tend towards the soups most weeks, but the combinations are endless and the ability to add in fresh sprouts, basil, jalapeno, add to the pleasure. The waitstaff is fast, efficient, and unflinching when this 20 year customer asks for silverware with the meal. We have introduced many of our guests and friends to Quang and are always pleased when they tell us they have become addicted also.

    I would marry Quang if I could. Seriously. Egg roll, buon mi, and broken rice plate could be my last meal, and I would want Quang to prepare them for me. The egg rolls are perfectly crispy and I could probably drink the fish sauce if that was acceptable. I usually go with my sis, so we can split a delish soup and broken rice plate. We usually go for the rare flank pho or seafood egg noodle soup. All of the broken rice plates are good defending on what meat you're going for - the pork chop is their classic. Summertime is perfect for the noodle salads - I usually go for the beef and dump that beautiful fish sauce allllll overrrr. I typically go home with a buon mi or 2, so I don't slump into a deep depression for not having the entire restaurant come home with me. Sigh. It's simply the best.

    Quang is the best! I've had the pho with meatballs and a couple different noodle dishes with beef and chicken. Everything here is stellar. This place is efficient, so you'll get in and out pretty fast. Not much ambiance, it kind of feels like a nice cafeteria, but I was focusing on the food so it doesn't really matter.

    I was impressed and definitely would be back. After a long tiring flight, I dropped into Quang based on Yelp reviews for dinner. I was not disappointed. The ice coffee was deep and rich. Nice. The pho's (#503) brooth was excellent and not because it was laden with MSG. The staff friendly and quick. I'll be back!!

    All the good things about Quang have been discussed at length here. I've only had the pho, and it is pretty delicious. This would be around 3.5, but rounded up because it is really good food. I do have a few complaints... The broth is REALLY salty. I thought it just was how pho was, but other places I've had it, I don't balloon up the next day. Whenever I go, the place is packed. While this isn't a problem by itself, they seem to be perpetually understaffed. It's not as if the busy night was a one off thing, they should be better prepared for the rushes they get around dinner time. Also, sometimes the broth here is just...meh. Sometimes it's great, but once in a while it just doesn't do the trick. I'm not sure what the deal is with that, but the inconsistency bothers me a little. But when I ask for extra limes, they give me a ton of limes which is great. So there is that.

    I'm glad this Vietnamese restaurant exists in Mpls. I'm used to having legit Vietnamese food and this place meets my expectations. For an affordable price, I'll definitely return!

    Not the best place for any particular Vietnamese item, but it has a wide range of items and it's big enough you almost never need to wait. They have a few items that are only available on weekends, like a pretty sweet snail soup. Note: the snail soup is no more. But they added spring rolls with sausage in them, which are good. My new favorite is a soup with noodles, red pork, and won-tons. It is really good and quite filling. A year or so ago they starting bringing cafe su da pre-mixed in a plastic cup. Boo. The only other drawback is that the parking lot is striped tighter than a Trader Joe's, so you won't be getting the 3/4 ton conversion van in here.

    Everyone's review about Quang is partially right. Service is fast, food is cheap, tastes good, and portion for the price is quite satisfying, but if your also looking to be ignored, receive poor communication, and be rudely looked at this is a great restaurant to experience an out of this mind level of customer service that will get your adrenaline up because you'll be shocked at the rudeness that I unluckily had to experience with one of the cashiers there. I stopped in because I wanted to pick-up a Vietnamese sandwich to go. There were about 8 or 9 already wrapped sandwiches sitting on top of the dessert display and next to it were some take-out boxes in a plastic bag. On the other side of the take-out was a handwritten note that wrote "Out of sandwiches". With this note in mind, I wasn't sure if the sandwiches were part of the take-out order or if these were the last batch for the day that I could potential take. (I came in around dinner time, 6-7pm) A Vietnamese gal came over to where I was standing, didn't acknowledge me whatsoever just went about her business. I peeked over the dessert display and kindly asked, "Are you out of sandwiches for the day?" She quickly points to the sandwiches on the counter without any attempt of eye contact, mumbles something alone the lines of "they're right there" with a rude and condescending tone. I was shocked. I then notified her about the note that said "Out of sandwiches" and she rudely ignored me and went about her business. I stood there full of rage, like a dragon there was steam coming out of nose and my body was scorching fire. I...could not...believe it. Two minutes later, she comes back and does a complete 180 and actually greeted me and the two people I was with AND even asked us if we were ready to order. I looked at her crazily and was so fired up, I had to notify her again about the note and told her my confusion. I was hoping to hear an apology of some sort for the note (I certainly wasn't going to expect one for her behavior), yet she just gave me a blank stare and a half ass smile. I hope to Buddha that she just did not understand me and she in life is not that rude. After this day, I refuse to hand over my money to a restaurant that doesn't care for the people who are the ones that actually keep their business thriving. I don't care how good of a deal or how fast the food is made. I get better service at Taco Bell. BTW the bread in their sandwich was brick hard.

    Overprice Vietnamese Food. Charge you for food you did not order. MSG galore, if you love MSG this is the place to be. (I wouldn't be surprise if they added some MSG to your drink too.) MSG is a food enhancer, it makes poop taste good. MSG gets deposited in your brain because your body doesn't know what to do with it. If you decide you need Vietnamese food I wouldn't recommend this place, there is one down the street that is a little better. But if you must eat here ask them for a breakout of your bill. They like to add tips for them self. So don't tip them because it might already be added to the bill even if your by yourself.

    Overall tho 4.5 stars I will admit i dont know that much about Vietnamese food, which made me a little scurred before i went to Quang, but this place is great.. First of all you cant go wrong with the Vietnamese egg rolls or the spring rolls, both are absolutely delicious and come with some really tasty dipping sauces. The Pot stickers are also great, but the main reason I come here is for the Lemongrass Chicken. I mean, the chicken is tender, sweet, and goes great with the plate of rice cucumbers and carrots. It will probably be the only thing I ever get at Quang because I just would hate to pass it up, its that good. A little on the spicy side but really not too bad. Prices are great, everything I have with apps and dinner and a coke (no alcohol served here) costs around $11-$13 with tip. Lots can be busy but Nicollet street parking is easy The service can leave a little something to be desired and if you don't get there at the right time before noon and before 6 you may have to wait a bit for a table. No big deal though. Note: You will leave full

    I really like this place. I wasn't expecting much at all, and came on the recommendation of a friend. I love that it looks like a Perkins inside, and tastes like Saigon on the inside. I love that it's super duper cheap but that the food tastes fresh and well prepared. I think it's funny that the atmosphere is described as hipster. What does that even mean? Anyway - if you're expecting a fancy four course meal or a romantic date spot or a server who wants to hear how your day was, don't come here. But personally, this is exactly the kind of spot I'm looking for: cheap, delicious, fresh ingredients, decent service of a consistent product, and enough space to bring tons of friends. Ninety thumbs up.

  • Amber E.

    I had my first taste of Pho here and it's still my favorite. The bahn bao are also nothing short of amazing. They're like a steamy, sticky, porky, little Christmas present, and the quail egg tucked in the middle of all that goodness just send it over the top. I've only ever had take-out here, and the service on that end has always been quick and friendly.

    After living in Milwaukee where Viet food is sub-par, this place was fantastic! Service was ehhh, but what do you expect really? It's authentic Vietnamese, and the service was about the same as you'll get in California. (Probably quick and to the point with a small side of rude and impatient.) Dishes: -Sea Bass Noodle soup: (only available wkends) was tasty! -Bun Tom Thit Nuong : well seasoned and well grilled -Com Thit Nuong: also on point My parents, from San Jose, were actually pretty impressed with this place. My MN relatives says that it's the most decent and consistent Viet restaurant. So hey...can't go wrong with 8 Vietnamese opinions, right?

  • Paul B.

    I came during an off time, 4pm on a Monday, and I can tell you: the service was fantastic. The waitress was super efficient and helpful. So maybe it is just the time of day, the luck of the draw, or some other mystery, but I can't figure out why everyone hates on the service so hard here. Next up: The pho was delicious. Screw you NYC, why do you make it so hard for me to get good Vietnamese food. Minneapolis has that shit locked down, why can't NYC? But seriously, I loved the delicate broth, the beef was higher quality than I expected and the portions were apparently designed to feed 14 people per bowl (does anyone ever actually finish these?). I also agree that the spring rolls were really tasty but realistically they used up precious stomach space so I would pass in the future. I can't wait for my next trip to MN fo sho.

    One thirty in the afternoon. Parking lot sucks. Street parking is great. Packed restaurant but only had a five minute wait. Everything was pretty dees (decent). Three orders of eggrolls. Three orders of spring rolls. Seven orders of #503 (combo pho). One order of #502 (seafood pho). Ninety-eight dollars. Holler! Left around two thirty. Empty lot.

    The best thing about Vietnamese food is you have to try really hard to screw it up. The best thing about Quang Restaurant on Eat Street in Minneapolis is that they didn't. I have been craving good Vietnamese food forever ever since arriving in landlocked Minnesota, so I was more than happy when my friend introduced me to this place. Lotus to Go Go on Grant was more of a Chinese restaurant in a Vietnamese restaurant dress, but Quang definitely has the similar menu items that I see in Golden Deli or Vietnam Restaurant in SGV. I was embarrassingly yelping (like the sound, not the act of going to Yelp!) with glee as I looked at the menu, and went for the dish I love ordering: grilled beef and imperial roll over vermicelli noodles and tons of fish sauce. I also had the mango boba tea, just coz they have boba tea, which is a rarity in the Midwest apparently. It's quite possible Quang's does not have the best Vietnamese food in Minnesota, especially with St. Paul around the corner, but any chance I get to munch on fresh-tasting Vietnamese food and raise my bp by literally drinking the nuoc nam, I'll take it. Then savor it.

    We love pho! Quang was our first pho eat-in in the twin cities. This restaurant was packed on a Friday night. Why? Because the food is delicious, comforting, and cheap. We had 1 bowl of the traditional pho, and another bowl of a seafood noodle soup. Perhaps it's because I've been deprived of pho for a couple of months now that I must exaggerate that I LOVE the broth for both soups. So clean yet complex, tasty and savory, sweet and spicy. Add in the bean sprouts and basil sprigs, drizzle the soup with sriracha--you are in for a super fulfilling meal. We spent around $20 for two spring rolls and two bowls of soup, both of which was saved up for another meal at home. I'm a fan!

  • Carolyn A.

    There are two words you need to remember when you're ordering at Quang: Spring Roll. Hands down, Quang's spring rolls are the best I've EVER had. I'm not sure why (and I've even tried dissecting them), but I'm a believer. I especially like the vegetarian ones w/ tofu, but since my BF doesn't like tofu, we order them with shrimp when we share. I love the veggie noodle soups, but my absolute favorite is the weekend special soup with sea bass and shrimp. It's only available on Fridays and Saturdays, so I get a little sad if I'm there on another night and it's not an option. Another thing I love about Quang is that even if it's busy, the dining area has enough tables that you never really wait for a table. The weirdest thing about Quang is that it's closed on Tuesdays. I can't tell you how many times I've pulled into the parking lot to remember that it's Tuesday.

    I nearly jumped for joy when I found this place! Finally, a Minneapolis restaurant that serves wonderful pho! They have numerous different options and weekend soup specials. I make weekly treks to this restaurant. It's quite addicting and a must go spot.

  • eric l.

    One soup, Bun Rieu (available on Sat & Sun), fully activated every last one of my taste buds! It is crazy spicy, but not just hot, also various other flavors including, but not limited to, tomato, mint, salt, lemon, and even slightly sweet (shrimp). They were at capacity on a Sunday, 7pm, but got us in, fed, and out in 30 minutes. Efficient! All for $8!

    This place is just a few steps away fro where i work, and I just love it. It can be very busy, so you might have to wait a bit to be served. The food is very straightforward and unpretentious. I've eaten the spring rolls and the Pho, and they are just as good as i have tasted in pricier places.

  • Ryan C.

    holy crap batman! best vietnamese food i've had in my life! well this is more chinese-vietnamese rather than pure viet food. holy heck, it's still darn good! had the seabass & shrimp noodles special. wow, seabass is fresh and flaky. the shrimp however not too fresh and succulent but it's not too bad. the soup.... WORK OF ART! taste super sweet and tasty! friend had the pho... IMO, the pho is nothing great. it's just plain old pho; good thing is that the soup doesn't stank like usual pho does and the meatballs taste like home-made. next is the yam fritters? i don't know if this is the name. it looked like shrimp fritters covered with pieces of sweet potatoes.. heck, it's good anyways! the fresh rolls are pretty standard, nothing stellar but yeah it does the job filling this stomach.. they have porridge (or congee, some you may call) on the weekends. at the front counter, they sell a lot of crap! so much it looks like a market. they have chinese doughnuts and these fried pillow bread, don't know what it's called but it's what i can get back in asia. too bad i didn't try that. they also have hot desserts; hot doesn't mean hot brownies, cake, or ice-cream... there is one that is made of split green mung beans.. never seen this stateside, i usually had this in singapore. good2 place! oh the damage... cost $18 per person. i don't know why it cost so much, my suspicion is there a miscalculation or they tasked 20% mandatory tip. be careful! otherwise, a pleasant experience!

  • Jasmine L.

    Mmmmm, I am just not a huge fan of this place. I enjoyed the richness of the pho here but something always leaves me wanting to go somewhere else when I eat here. My boyfriend loves their pho though, as do many others, so who knows. I also don't particularly enjoy how busy, crowded, and loud it gets - although, this can be fun at times, if that is what you are looking for. If you do go here, do not order the veggie spring rolls; they consisted of wrap, rice, lettuce, and cilantro - not worth it at all.

  • Jay E.

    BEST pho in all of minneapolis. They don't skimp on the meat and the rare beef is super tender. Broth is on point. Always fast service. Egg rolls and cream cheese wontons come out steaming hot and fresh. I've been to every other pho place on eat street and this is the best.

  • Cualeng V.

    So I've been living in "The Cities" for a little over a month, and in that time have tried Pho at least 4 times at different places. I'm just going to say that Quang's is probably the closest thing to authentic that Minnesota has to offer. I've been up and down University in St. Paul, at small little Vietnamese restaurants in suburbs, and nothing comes close to tasting like the Pho I was used to in Texas, and to a lesser degree, California. That being said, the parking for this place is HORRENDOUS - it literally has about 5 spots in the actual lot. Otherwise, you have to find a place to park on the street or at other business locales, and I don't have any clue about the towing policies in that area. Quang's was bustling but we were still seated promptly. Immediately upon being seated, we received our complimentary water with lime slices and I started off with an order of Spring Rolls, then got a large bowl of Pho and Pad Thai w/Chicken for our entrees. I asked about the Ban Cuon Cha Lua, but every single time I've been here (dating back to the early 2000s, at least 5-6 times) they were always out of it. I wonder why they even keep it on the menu! Maybe there is a special season for this dish only natives are aware of, but they have yet to let me in on the secret... On to the food...The spring rolls were good with a slightly sweet peanut sauce for dipping. For the Pho, the broth tasted clean and delicious. The veggies were very fresh and there was an abundance of meat - rare steak, tripe, flank, brisket, tendon, and meatballs. Even the pad thai was pretty good, surprisingly for a Vietnamese restaurant. I think the only thing I was displeased about was the Cafe Sua Da and the lady at the counter. The coffee was already made when I received it, but they definitely skimped on the condensed milk. As for the lady, maybe she was having a bad day, but she was severely impatient when taking our payment even while we had to wait about 5 minutes to get her attention. It in no way diminishes the friendliness of the waiters and waitresses though. There are numerous Pho restaurants in the area, but this place (so far) is the only one I wouldn't be embarassed to take family or friends to if they had a craving for Pho. Stay classy Quang's, Til we meet again!

    This place consistently serves excellent vietnamese dishes. I have been here many times and honestly I have never been disappointed. The prices are fair and the service is fast. Parking can be a bit of an issue on weekends but they have a small lot next to the restaurant. Definitely worth visiting!

    This place can get crowded but once you get your food, you'll understand why -- great authentic flavors, great prices, fast service. Highly recommend the takeout also (the guy will hang up on you once you finish telling him what you want, but no worries, the food will be ready for you when you get there!) Waitresses are polite and efficient. Love everything about this place. :)

    We tried Quang's the other night after reading favorable reviews and a desire to visit more restaurants on Eat Street. Our verdict: yummy with some room for improvement. The restaurant was packed (Saturday night), but luckily we were seated right away. Unfortunately, service was not as fast. We waited quite a while for someone to take our order, and then we waited some more for our food to arrive. I wanted to try their egg rolls because they seem to be popular, but our waiter advised ordering cream cheese wontons because they would come out faster. Next time I will pass on these. For entrees, we had pho and a beef and shrimp vermicelli salad; the pho was pretty good after adding generous amounts of hoisin sauce and chili paste. As a bonus, the serving was huge so I had plenty for lunch the next day. The beef and shrimp dish was also good, and the Vietnamese iced coffee was delicious. Overall, prices were incredibly reasonable and the food was solid. I would definitely come back here, but not when I'm feeling impatient :)

    I make pilgramages for the sea bass soup on weekends, and will buy a banh mi every time I pass the place just because. Service is usually clueless. Deal with it - it's worth it.

  • Anonymous P.

    This place has great food but no principles. The egg rolls are a lot better than what you typically find at a Vietnamese joint. However, the service was awful, and we ended up tipping the awful waiter 38% because no one bothered to tell us that the tip (labelled "Surcharge") was included in the check! The waiter simply pocketed the tip that we handed him without a word. So BEWARE, and look at your itemized check closely before you pay.

    After reading other reviews online, I decided to try this place. When I walked in, the place was packed...a good sign. Two of us ordered spring rolls, beef and egg roll salad, and chicken pad thai to share. Delicious and fresh. The portions are generous too; there was enough food for left for lunch the next day. Also a good value, it was about $30 for the entire meal plus tip.

  • Don C.

    Probably some of the best Pho I've had. Place is always crowded but they have plenty of room for everyone. Service is good and attentive. Almost has a sort of diner seating feel to it. I've been coming here for years when I'm in the area and haven't had better Pho anywhere else in the US. Spring rolls are great and Combination Pho is all I get. Great, delicious, broth and also an inexpensive meal. Be prepared for an epic food coma afterwards if you do get the Pho haha.

    I don't want to sound n pretentious butt..I use to really love this place have been coming here when they were only a 20 person hole in the wall. My favorite itel use to be pho but now their pho is horrible... what the pho!.. their egg rolls weren't even good anymore. I should have known when all my vietnamese friends kept asking me why I was still going to quangs now I know....

  • Lisa P.

    Step 1 - everyone bring $10 Step 2 - everyone order an app. Make sure someone gets the spring rolls - they're one of my faves. Step 3 - everyone order an entree - there are so many choices, leave time to peruse the menu (pho is okay, salads are pretty good) Step 4 - look at a table full of food that could feed 20 people. Wonder how you could possibly eat it all. Then get to work. Step 5 - get change from your server, because this place is so cheap for the insane amount of food you just saw. Step 6 - start rounding up friends for your next trip. And dig change out of the car seat for next time.

    Just polished off a bowl of Pho Thai...or maybe half a bowl, their portions are huge! It's the best I have had in the cities. Their wontons are great too, but how can you go wrong with fried cream cheese?! Their vermicelli salads are not very salad-y and I would recommend you head down the street to Jasmine 26 if that's what you're in the mood for.

    This place was awesome! It was my first experience at a Vietnamese restaurant (and my first visit to Minneapolis).

On top of that...the prices were beyond reasonable.

  • AJ J.

    I really love this food, but I have to significantly lower my rating due to my most recent experience. It was bad. I've been to this restaurant at least 30 times, and decided to take an out of country business visitor here as she has never tried Vietnamese food and doesn't have any in her country. We, along with two of my colleagues, were seated, about 5-7 minutes later, three people were seated behind us. The people behind us got water first and their order taken before anyone came to us to take our order or even give us water. I motioned to their waitress who said our waiter was on his way. He brought our water and was about to leave, but I told him we were ready to order. He said ok, and impatiently went around the table taking our orders. He quickly brought our appetizer, but it took a while for our entrees. Uncommon for this restaurant. He first brought out one plate, the another, but my plate didn't come. I told my colleagues to eat. I waited 5 minutes...10 minutes...15 minutes and my food never came. Our waiter was sitting and talking with other staff. He finally got up, went into the kitchen, came out and told me that my food was on it's way. 5 more minutes pass, no food. At this point, the rest of the table had finished eating. I found another waitress (because my waiter was MIA), and asked her to tell my waiter to bring my food in a to go container, our lunch break was over and I still hadn't eaten. It took 25 minutes for me to finally get my food in a to go container. REALLY?! When he came out, he said "oh, sorry about the wait," and walked away. I finally got his attention again and got the check. When we went up to the register to pay, I told the man that it needed to be separated. He just stared at me. So I repeated that we needed separate checks. He looked annoyed and said "yeah, who's going first?!?" I'm done with this place. No customer should ever be treated like an annoyance. My money is valuable to me and should be to them too.

    I have been coming to Quang's since I was three years old and keep coming back time after time! The food is delicious and the prices are just as good. They have amazing Pho. Some days are better than others for the broth but overall it is superb. The spring rolls are also some of the best I've had. The peanut sauce that comes along with it is very tasty, unlike a lot of other peanut sauces I've had at other Vietnamese restaurants. The broken rice dishes are also delicious! Try the caramelized lemon grass chicken if you aren't very adventurous. I also recommend the tri-color bean drink. It is supposed to be a dessert but I have them bring it out with my meal. It is coconut milk with 2 different types of beans, and gelatin with crushed ice. They also have a very attentive wait staff that are on top of things. You never have to wait long for your food to arrive either. SO YUMMY.

    Back in the day, when I was a card-carrying mid-westerner, I too worshipped at the alter of Quang, cuz I'm a registered Vietnamese food snob & my Mom is a terrible teacher: Recipe? What recipe? You know, how do you make it? Erm...I just throw it together in the pot? [long pause. sigh.] Well, at least tell me what the ingredients are. Oh...well, I just use whatever leftovers you have in the refrigerator. [arrrrrrrrrgggh!!!] I do miss the days when there were more yellow homies, fewer yuppies, & cheaper prices but given the fact that the quality of the food & complex tastes have remained true I can't really grouse...much. Despite not being much of a soup fan & the sticky summer heat I couldn't stop myself from slurping down the Mi hoanh thanh (wonton soup with egg noodles garnished with chives floating in a slurpalicious savory light broth). And don't forget the scrumptious cha gio (spring rolls) with a lovely melding of flavors--ground pork, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, crispety wrapper, & accompanying ambrosial nuoc chum with just the perfect ratio of fish sauce, sweetness, & tart zesty goodness. [drool] At this point I would have given them the 5th star BUT the bun thit nuong (noodle salad with grilled pork) was rather disappointing. I'm all for innovation but that means that it should be better than the standard. Using a lean, thin-cut pork chop instead of the traditional thinly sliced pork shoulder or pork butt may cater to the health conscious but unless you're really careful with your cooking times or have a stellar marinade, you may be better off starting up your own Jimmy Choo factory. Dry, dry, dry & stiff with just a little give; great for supporting those arches but not so much for its digestive qualities. Next time the asian invasion exchange program hits town we'll have to make a stop...& if someone were to place some com tam tom (broken rice with grilled shrimp, hopefully on sugarcane skewers) or com tam suong nuong (broken rice with grilled pork chop) in front of me they better make sure that their appendages aren't anywhere near my mouth! [chomp]

    Unfortunately I have not had their Pho yet, so I cannot comment on that. I'll save it for an update review but I have had some of their desserts and side dishes. The food I've had there is very good. The restaurant itself is clean including their bathrooms. Parking is nearly always packed, and getting in and out of the parking lot is difficult but that's the only negative side to my experiences here. I would recommend this place.

    Love the place, though they are frequently out of banh mi. People from New York and California seem to be complaining that it is not True Vietnamese Food, which seems odd given all of the Vietnamese people making and eating it. Perhaps you can get better outside of Minnesota, but if you're not willing to change states for dinner, this is a great place for Vietnamese.

    Ordered the spicy pho #511 I think. It was good, but the meat was really low quality, there were actual veins that looked like an aortic valve. Umm Ewe . I am going to stick with my Lotus to go.

    I have only had take out. Which was exactly as I wished it would be. Highlights: The wonton and meatball soup (2 different soups) both have a crazy good broth. The pork banh mi is freaking addictive. Super cheep price makes my wallet happy and the food makes my tummy happy. Amused by the manderine drink they have there that is basically the pulpy left overs of a manderine orange cup or can with its left over juice too. Flan was pretty good too. Updated: 12/20/09 Also amazing is the broken rice caramelized salmon. Sooo good. Thai dessert-ok this is odd. but kinda addicting. Chunks of fruit and gelatin mixed with a coconut milk. I might even swing over and get a cup of this today. Bummers: Closed on Tuesday Not open super late during the week.-till 9pm (seems like perfect late night food if you ask me) Wish they delivered (then I could slack on my couch and still eat yummy making food).

    I'd heard good things about Quang's pho from several people, and was not disappointed. The Vietnamese iced coffee was good too, but the real deal here are the banh mi sandwiches. Delicious. I like the combination sandwich: just the right amount of meat and pickled vegetables, and their pate is really good too. It's a $2.50 lunch that can't be beat. And although they've been crazy busy every time I've been (Sunday mornings and weekday lunch hours), it's pretty easy to just pick up a pre-made sandwich at the counter. They also sell fabulous banh bao (steamed buns filled with pork and egg) for $2, and these are the big ones, with just the right ratio of bun to meat. They're premade and kept warm, and make another good, quick lunch to go. If you do go to Quang's just be aware that there is limited parking, although there is now additional parking in the dentist's lot on the other side of the building. There is street parking as well, but that's always scarce along Eat Street.

    Heard that Quang's is "THE BEST" by my Minneapolis friends any time I mentioned any of the options on University in St. Paul. "You actually see Asians eating there! It must be good." I think it was a little Minneapolis bravado. First of all, the places I frequent in St. Paul are mostly frequented by Vietnamese or Hmong who choose restaurants they like and eat there, just like anyone else. Vietnamese cuisine isn't like Chinese where there's the corn starch goop menu and secret menu. Quang's Pho is good, probably 4th best I've had in the cities. The fried yams with shrimp were very tasty. However, there is a big difference between their pho and a really great one. If you live near there, it is a great option for Vietnamese, but I live close to Frogtown and better pho is also more convenient. I will return to Quang to try Bun, Banh mi and other stuff, but I'll have to also be in the neighborhood. As far as all of these people from California saying Minnesota Vietnamese food is sub par, you need to STFU. They're from the same Vietnam, and per capita, we have more Vietnamese and Hmong than almost anywhere in the country and there is HUGE competition that results in quality food. This is Minnesota; our statewide population is less than the LA-SD area; no duh there's more restaurants there.

    Quang's is one of my favorite restaurants. I looked through all my reviews to see if I had written about it before, but nope it's not there, so here it is. I recently picked up some banh mi sandwiches to take with to the Twins vs. Yankees game, and was reminded why I continue to go to Quang's over and over and over again. The sandwiches were tasty and they're not cheap on the stuffings. I know there are trendier ways to stuff the sandwiches now, but I like the original pate, and it's really good here. It was a great alternative to the dome dog and other food options at the Dome. My other favorites at Quang's are their wonton soup and grilled pork balls. The pho is always a good bet. Quang's is a great value for your money - good quality and quantity. Service is quick, and friendly most of time.

    I just swooped Quang's to go in hopes some Pho with extra spice might help my cold. It did.The food tastes fresh and well made with good flavor. The vegetarian Pho- ie noodle soup is awesome. Portions are large. It was a Monday night but there were lots of people enjoying dinner and other people leaving with take out. The family that owns the restuarant is super sweet. I'll def be back soon.

    I'm from the mecca of Vietnamese food, Orange County and being Vietnamese myself, I think i know a thing or two. I recently moved to the Twin Cities and of course i had to sample what my new environs had to offer. My family and I ate at Quang's per a recommendation from a family friend. I had the Bun Bo Nuong Cha Gio (Rice Vermicelli "salad" [I've never heard it described like that before] with grilled beef and eggrolls) which is a favorite of mine. I have to say, i found it to be even more enjoyable than some of the places i have eaten at in Little Saigon. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the eggrolls were decent though i have never encountered a restaurant eggroll that was more than just decent. My dad had the com tam (broken rice) and it was pretty decent as well. My brother ordered the Pho. Do not order the Pho here. Ugh, gross. If you like the pho here, then you've probably never had pho as it was supposed to taste. Devoid of that characteristic star anise flavor and the rich beefy body of pho broth, instead all that could be found there is grease and the lingering taste of MSG. That's another thing. Quang's is known among the other restaurants to use a lot of MSG in their food. If you have a weak stomach, i'd go some place else. BOTTOM LINE: Rice Vermicelli "salad" and Broken Rice - Sure, go ahead Pho - Stay home

    Killer Pho! Their beef broth was amazing and they will cure your worst hangovers. I like that sweet basil is provided to add to the soup instead of cilantro. Their egg rolls are as crispy as it can get. The service was fast and friendly as well. I had the beef pho and the egg rolls for $10, which is hard to beat in this economy. I will be a regular here. :) FYI They are closed on Tuesdays!

    Was very excited to finally hit this place... I do love me some banh mi. Ended up kinda disappointed, though. Did take-out. The restaurant itself isn't fancy by any stretch but it is bright and clean, with an attached parking lot (always nice). The staff is exceedingly friendly and there's a pleasant little bench area where you can wait for your take-out food. Service was fast and efficient, I had my grilled chicken banh mi and spring rolls within ten minutes. I arrived home and excitedly tore the paper wrapping off the banh mi. Took my first bite and was... underwhelmed. The crispy crunch I'd been anticipating didn't materialize. The baguette was soft. Not just the end, the entire thing. And there were barely any jalapenos or cilantro. So I was left with a soft, bland sandwich. How sad. On a positive note, there was a generous amount of moist and yummy grilled chicken. And the spring rolls were quite tasty. I just didn't get the transcendental banh mi experience I'd been hoping for. Maybe I'll go back and try the pho. Alternatively, it looks like they offer banh cuon on the weekends; if I can remember, I'll head back and get a taste of that. I definitely plan on trying Lu's, across the street. I'll satisfy my banh mi jones yet...

    Bun Thit, Cha Gio, the beef and egg roll vermicelli salad is a masterpiece, unrivaled for lunch or dinner by anything else in this world. Sure, it's probably bad for you. Yeah, you're getting a heap of salad, noodles, beef, and sliced egg roll. Holy crap, is it delicious. Try their strawberry bubble tea with it. Go home ridiculously full and happy.

  • Nick C.

    Quite tasty. I've heard it mentioned several times but never got around to going until recently. Generally, I take into account the ethnicity of the clientele as an indication of how good/authentic the place is. Since I was the only person who wasn't Asian in the restaurant...and it was quite crowded, I figured they must be doing something right. Sorry if that comment above is somehow misconstrued as racist by some uber PC bot looking for things to be offended about, cuz it isnt. Anyway yeah....delicious food, excellent service, etc etc. I would go back for certain.

  • L V.

    Came here because I was craving some pho and haven't been here for a long time, so I figured why not? The pho was okay only because I like my broth HOT and this broth came out warm. Also ordered the coffee with milk and it came one of those sealed bubble tea cups but when it was handed to me the straw was already punched through the seal. I would have like to have done that myself so that I knew everything was okay. All in all it was okay but probably won't go out of my way to come here as there are better places closer to home.

  • Bryan T.

    Quang's is what it is. There's definitely better in the area and there's a lot of trade-offs you have to put up with, including crappy parking that leaves me unmotivated to come here if I've got a choice.

    Quangs: Best deal in town. Ever since my first taste, I've had a consistent stream of Pho course though my veins. At the same time, about 10 years back, I tried my first spring roll. My opinion of food changed forever. I actually tasted the season of spring! Never thought that possible. I've tried (more than once) almost every Vietnamese place on Eat Street (and a few in Frog Town) which I can find the entrance to. I always order their Pho and spring rolls. I've liked them all but not equally. I have 0 idea of what Quangs secret ingredient is. Might be the sprinkles of Love or MSG. Not sure but what ever it is, Quangs uses it with out restraint. Jasmin Deli, Pho 79 all have special places in my stomach and I revisit them from time to time. Quangs, however, has me in its weekly grip. Eggrolls: Chrispy and so flavorful. Pho: rich broth, perfectly done noodles, basil, lime, and sprouts on the side. Spring Rolls: Soft and fresh with crispy greens inside and an addictive peanut dipping sauce. Chicken Wing App: Deep frying takes time compared to the rest but the best wings in town. Weekend specials include one of the best soups ever born: The Sea Bass Soup. It desivers all capitol letters. Try it for under $8 and you'll understand. Also, a new menu item gave us another reason to keep up our weekly visits: the Grilled Ginger Salmon over Broken Rice. If you've tried their Grilled Marinated Chicken over broken rice, its the same great plate of food but Salmon and an entirely new flavor. Love it! One thing I've learned though is that picking up To Go makes a big difference in food experience. If you dine in, things are fast, very fresh, and service is great. By the time food gets home, it can loose its edge so I recommend dining in and shooting the shit with some of the awesome servers.

    Quang's is great. I love their pho, their spring rolls, and their banh mi sandwiches. The pho broth can vary from being spot on to being a bit oily. I've had enough good experiences here to keep coming back for the pho despite the few times I've had bad pho. The prices are great and the service is always decent. I hate that this place is always so packed and the parking lot is too small and this part of Nicollet is too busy. Quang, I need you to open up another restaurant at the U of M.

    I have Bun Rieu today at Quang Restaurant. I'm not sure whether it is the same as in the South of Vietnam, it is not like the authentic one I have in my home town Hanoi. The smell is not the same, the "rieu" is not really "rieu". However I still feel great. Definitely will come back to try Bun ca Kien Giang next time.

  • Melissa M.

    The way I judge if an ethnic restaurant is truly authentic is if you see people from that particular ethnicity eating....This is true at Quang! Setting: Very casual spot on Eat Street. Food: Pho noodle Soup, Spring Rolls & Vietnamese Noodle Salad Pros: Quick service and seating, delicious food at an exceptional value Insider Tip: Be careful what you order. If you order coagulated blood, it's not a figure of speech.

    I'm a simple girl. I like to watch the same movies, eat the same foods, listen to the same song on repeat and not leave my house more than absolutely necessary. All I wanted to do on Wednesday night was watch Role Models and eat some pho. Oh lord, how I love me some pho. I'm also incredibly lazy. I printed off a million different recipes for Pho because my relationship with the stuff is kind of like an episode of that Intervention show - I'm the broke girl passed out on the couch, taking hits from a can of Febreeze air freshener all while screaming out I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. Whatever, I love the stuff. Anyways, my "problem" is slowly draining my bank account but I can't stop eating pho. But I'm not about to buy 2 chickens and sit over the stove for 11 hours. I need my fix now. We ordered the beef pho, pork spring rolls, the bahn mi with the pate and the lemongrass chicken. The boyfriend drove to get it (we live near Richfield, so it's not like the place is around the block) and when he got home, the chicken wasn't in the bag. Now he gets to drive all the way back (because he did pay for it) while I physically lock myself in the bedroom (away from my own personal version of the crazy girl's can of Febreeze.) Sure, they gave us a free dessert and it was really good (tapioca pudding with fried bananas) but the rest of the food wasn't. The pork in the spring rolls had the texture of sand, the pho was ok and the lemongrass chicken had no flavor at all. The bahn mi was really impressive, but I think that's mainly because it's gigantic and only $2.95. Maybe I was just pissed because the order wasn't right in the first place but, honestly, I probably won't be going back. Two stars because, yes, I have experienced better.

    Rare 5. Gem in MSP. Great dishes. Classics like pho off the chain. Good spring and egg rolls. On the weekends they have some tasty seafood pho that you cant get anywhere else. Their sandwiches and deserts by the register are nice little pick ups on the way out

  • John B.

    Want excellent Vietnamese food cheap? Quang is the place to go. Their spring rolls are a great value and very fresh. My favorite entrees include the caramelized lemongrass chicken (#407), beef and egg roll salad (#310), and grilled jumbo shrimp salad (#304). Oh yeah, I need to talk about the pho. Can you say wonderful! My favorite is the seafood and pork soup with rice noodles (#502), but you can't go wrong with any one you choose. Don't forget to check out their weekend specials, too. If you've never been to Quang you are missing out. Get off of your couch and go there now, unless it's Tuesday, because they're closed on Tuesdays. Enjoy!

    $4.00 for a grilled chicken sandwich on a french baguette?? SOLD! As a poor student, I'm always down for an awesome bang-for-the-buck (or 4). They make these sandwiches everyday, but by evening, they tend to run out...well, at least the chicken sandwich. Their pho is also a pretty sweet deal too.

    (4)
  • Anna L.

    I see a lot of good reviews about their pho. I didn't like it. The meat was all gristle, the garnishes were old and limp, and the broth was not as good as others I've had. However, it's a lot better than no pho at all. It's not like you can just go around not eating pho. That said, I like a lot of their other food, especially the shrimp/sweet potato appetizers. I'd go there just for those!

  • Jackie C.

    I love this place!! Whenever I find myself on Nicollet I will make a stop here. The vietnamese sandwiches are delicious and I always pair mine with a thai bubble tea. The service is here super fast even though it is always packed in here. I've been here for lunch and dinner during almost every day of the week and have never seen it slow. I never wait longer than 15 min for my order and they get it right every time! When you are done eating you get up and pay at the register in the front instead of them bringing the check to you. Parking is easy, you can park in the lot right next to it or on the street which is always easy to find.

  • John L.

    Looking for some Pho in Minneapolis. Nicollet Ave was full of pho restaurants. Picked Quang for their free parking. They have an actual lot versus having to parallel park at metered street parking. Pho was mediocre, same with spring rolls. Spring roll used romaine lettuce... maybe I am spoiled with Houston Asian food. For Minneapolis, it must have been pretty good. Restaurant was busy, and a diverse crowd including college students.

  • Sarah A.

    Of all the restaurants my sister and I like to dine at, Quang is by far our favorite for many reasons. The service is fast and the food always comes out tasting amazing. I usually order #401 which is the grilled pork with rice because the flavor is perfect. Try the appetizers like the fried yams with shrimp, and the shrimp spring rolls! It's so good.

    (5)
  • Marino K.

    One of the better Vietnamese spots in Minneapolis. Good food and consistent service from my experience. The pho is authentic, but I typically order a bunch of finger foods to eat for the fun and variety. I like the fried yams with shrimp, chicken wings (very big!), spring rolls and egg rolls. The bahn mi sandwiches are tasty too. The only downfall is parking at times. It's located right on Eat Street (Nicollet) and has a tiny, shared parking spot. Gotta be creative and park in other locations, but it's totally worth it.

  • Aruna R.

    WHY do I always crave Quang on Tuesdays?! (Aka...the one day it's closed!) This place is unreal - super authentic pho, amazing bahn mi sandwiches (cheapest in the city, I'm almost positive) and really good bun salads, bubble tea and iced coffee! Huge parking lot, tons of seating and very quick, efficient service! Menu options are awesome, and while it can be overwhelming, it's worth a gander to see what they have to offer. I know people may have some qualms with the MSG (I tend to be oblivious to this, admittedly) but just ask the staff about it beforehand if you have an issue. Pho is my go-to on a freezing cold day. The pork and shrimp are my favorites! I really like all the noodle options too! I brought friends from out of town and one was so impressed, he got a second one to-go (and he's spent a lot of time in Vietnam!) I love Quang. It's fantastic. Props to you guys!

    Loved Quang!! The existing reviews are a clear indicator of how good the place is, simple interiors, ample parking space, friendly staff, quick service, all important tasty food. Came in here late on a Sunday afternoon and the place was full, mostly asians which means only one thing to me - good asian food. We started off with #107 tofu and veggies fired egg roll, a bit too oily but the stuffing was flavorful. Ordered the grilled salmon and lemongrass chicken. The salmon was cooked to perfection and tasted really good. Lemongrass chicken was ok, but not spicy as mentioned on the menu. Had their lychee green tea and thai pearl milk tea. The lychee green tea was bomb, loved it. Thai milk tea was definitely better then a lot of other place in uptown area. Saw them serving bog bowl of pho filled with accomplishments. They have lot of other things on their menu too, will definitely be back to try their Pho.

  • carebear l.

    I love this place. It is crazy crowded on weekends, so be prepared! The service is just average, but what do you expect from a Pho restaurant? They take your order, bring you your food and water and you won't see them until it's time for the bill.... typical for any Pho restaurant. What I love eating here? I like their fried sweet portatoes. Sometimes you can tell if the oil they use is old oil though. I love coming on weekends and getting the weekend special- Bun Rieu. it's a tomato based broth, with crab and shrimp meat in the noodle soup. Too bad they only serve it during the weekend. I also like their Beef Curry Stew. Not really any curry in it, but that's what most restaurants call it. It comes with yummy fresh toasty french bread to dip into the broth. YUM! I haven't had their highly talked about Pho, but everytime I come here, someone that I'm with always orders it and says it's tasty. I suppose it helps that their broths are always consistent. I like getting their fresh lemonade, always made just the way I like- slightly tart. The #1 reason why I love coming here, other than the food is the price. Cheap eats! Well worth the wait during the weekends. The one thing that sucks is the parking lot. Too crowed, not very big, especially with other shops in the strip mall, but there is street parking, if you can find it.

  • M A.

    This is one of my standard weekend brunch places (so much so that after about the fifth Sunday in a row of eating here my wife threw down the gauntlet). The entire experience here at the weekend is stimulating. There will be a crowd waiting for seats when you enter, a crowd waiting while you eat and a crowd waiting when you leave. Service can be a little spotty and I definitely have my favorite and not so favorite wait staff but ultimately it's about the food which is outstanding every single time. The Shrimp and Seabass noodle soup (only available Fri-Sun) will get you hooked. The other noodle soups will keep you coming back; the spicy beef and pork wonton are a couple of my favorites. Even the rice plates and sandwiches are outstanding (try anything with the grilled pork). I'm not a bubble tea fan but my wife says they're great. The iced coffee (Vietnamese style) and the fresh lime soda (add a little salt!) are my drinks of choice.

    I think we have found our to go Vietnamese restaurant in the twin cities. We have been searching for the pho that we use to get in San Francisco and Hawaii and I think Quang has met our expectations. The interior was clean, expect for the infamous cart used to bus tables, our server (didn't catch his name but a young male) was outstanding, and the food was satisfying. We had the chicken pho (weekend special) which came with a lot of chicken, the meat combo pho- also came with a lot of meatballs, tendon, tripe, beef, and the fried spring rolls which was better than Orlando's one. The broth was sure tasty! We will definitely be going back to Quang...

  • Eddie C.

    Summary: - Probably one of the best pho places in the Twin Cities - The place is constantly busy but they move you in and out quickly - Come here during the winter - Parking can be found on the streets or in the private lot --- I've been here many times and recently came here after the pride parade. As usual, the place was packed with people, which is impressive considering how large the place is. I had just gotten back for Vietnam and though Quang's would be another run of the mill shop there, for Minnesota, that means its pretty good. I always get the Pho Tai because I prefer that particular cut of meat. Quang's is tender and actually gives more meat than pho from Vietnam. Guess that's cause it's located in 'Murica? The broth is all right, though a bit salty. I learned in Vietnam that high quality beef broth should be pretty clear, and Quang's is quite murky. Their service is pretty fast; the pho usually comes out within 5-10 minutes of ordering! The service isn't exactly on the level of a 3 star Michelin restaurant but as far as hole in the wall Asian places go, this place is top notch. Overall, I come to Quang's for some quality pho when I crave it. Though it's not the best pho I've ever had, for Minnesota, it's satisfying enough. Come during the winters!

    You have to come here. Food is ALWAYS great. I've been coming here for years! Even before word got out about how good this place was and it was the same regulars you saw each week. Now the average wait time for a table (for about 4 people) is around 15 minutes during the lunch rush (on Sunday's, which is longer than other days understandably) Early dinner on any of the weekdays you won't have to wait. Try for that! For appetizers I usually order the egg rolls and cream cheese wontons. And by usually I mean every single time without fail because they're so good. They come out piping hot and full of flavor, and they're both affordable for how big the servings are. For the main entree I get #407 (~$8) which is spicy lemon grass chicken with rice. It's the perfect level of spiciness for me. Occasionally I get the strawberry bubble tea, you should too. ($3.50) Would come back! As if I don't already do. Again. And again. And again. 10000/10

    I finally made it to Quang. After years of having it on my "cheap places to eat" list, I went out to lunch with a friend and we decided to go to Quang to try the pho. The noodle soup was flavorful, slurpy goodness. The portion is huge. Be prepared to sit very close to people you don't know. The dining room was bigger than I thought it was going to be. The service isn't anything to write home about-- our waitress took our order, came back with the food and brought us our check. Took us a few minutes to realize that we had to go up front to pay.

    My family and I have been going to Quangs for years! We love the food and it's always consistent. However, I left this visit with a sour taste in my mouth, literally! I was coming home sick from work and wanted some Pho to help make me feel better. Before I even left my work's parking lot I called in to Quangs to place my order. When I got there I picked up my food and paid and left, however when I got home and tasted the soup it just didn't taste right and I couldn't eat it. It tasted like straight up oil and I just couldn't get over the taste. I called right away and spoke to the usually polite cashier on the phone but this time she wasn't so polite. I told her the Pho didn't taste right and she began to argue with me, " What do you mean?" "Oil? That's impossible!" I told her that I always get their Pho and it just didn't taste the same, after arguing with me for 3 mins she bitterly said that I can come exchange. On the drive there I was so confused! I kept thinking She usually is so nice but why is she being so mean! I'm sick! Can't she see?? As I got there I watched her look at me and then take her time cutting banana bread ever so carefully so, politely I cleared my sore throat and said "Excuse me?" She turned around as if I broke her out of her banana bread heaven to attend to me, I said "Hi" with a smile, "I'm not sure if I talked to you, but I called about the pho and decided I just want a refund, she rolls her eyes and opens the bag and proclaims "There is no oil!" I then said "It tasted that way to me and just would like my money" she then says " It is always like that! It's not even made with oil!" And shoves the money into my hand. I thank her and walk away feeling shitter then when I left work still hungry and still sore. I'm currently still in the parking lot writing this review to let everyone know about the horrible service I received so others won't make the same mistake. They will never ever receive a red cent from me and I will make sure everyone knows about my horrible experience at Quangs.

    Quang's has been a staple in our restaurant rotation for years. My man brought me here when we first started dating to test my chop stick skills. Let's just say I'm thankful that they have forks and many meals that require a spoon. I love that we can make it to Quang's, wait for a table, order an appetizer and entrees, eat and be on our way in an hour. Seriously, they're so fast. Our spring rolls often come out before our beverages. For starters, we've tried the cream cheese wontons, spring rolls, fried yams and shrimp, egg rolls and I'm sure some others. My point is, they're all delicious. As for entrees, I'm a soup kind of gal. I love their sea bass soup (last page of menu) and wonton soup personally. I've also enjoyed many of their stir fries with a protein and veggies- super delicious. Most recently, I had the #411 salmon. Wicked good. It comes with this sauce that is lemony, gingery, soy delight. It's my new fave. My man prefers the #310 or any soup with innards. The not so awesome- parking. That's pretty much it.

    Update to review.... What the hell is up with the seating? From 5 star to 2. -------------------------------- Parking is hard. At least for me. I try to park in the first few rows Some people drive the wrong way. Walking in is usually packed anytime during Saturday or Sunday. The wait can be anywhere from 5-50 minutes. Good news is that the food comes quickly and the servers run run run! Our regular server that practices CPR and first aid to be a nurse calls us sweetie now. She knows our orders too! Ugh! 101-spring rolls 112- cream cheese wontons - full of crab and cream cheese. I love it with the peanut sauce that comes with the spring rolls. 504-large pho with beef and meatballs. Extra lime- sri racha and hoisen sauce. 605- weekends only. Curry beef with carrots and noodles. The pho has the most savory deliciousness this planet has ever presented before. I love it. Funny thing is when my husband wants to go I always say no.... Then he always gets his way and I always leave saying.... "Ugh... I ate so much!" Haha. Love this place. It is a MUST have to bring guest that are staying over or if they are visiting. Yum.-just do It

    Everything about Quang is authentic and worth the investment in time to get seated! I usually get the noodle salad or Pho. They also have great ramen options. For a complete experience, check out the bubble tea offerings as well. There is usually a healthy - for good reason since the food is so tasty! - so plan some wait time into your schedule when you plan to check it out. We need more options like Quang throughout the Twin Cities!

    AVOID THIS PLACE. Hit or Miss Flavor & Service. Always short staffed with the servers running around like this place is a gym. Never seen them have the time or patience to properly interact with customers. Must be the good business that doesn't call for emphasis on better service. This place is becoming white people's Pho experience place. The food is eh. The wait will be long. The noise is high. Now if you experience street food kinda disorganized atmosphere then this is the place. I found a bit nicer vegetarian Pho joint a block ahead called Pho Boan. You can relax and enjoy your veggie pho there.

    If you're looking for some quick, will do Viet food, look no further. This place has been around for many, many years, been here when it was a hole in the wall place. The ambience hasn't changed much it just expanded. The service has improved here tremendously from way back when. I still prefer Kim Anh, My Huong and of course my mamas home cooking to this place. The food here lost its love. Thumbs up: -you get what you pay for -variety on menu -drinks, desserts too -c.s. is better then most Asian restaurants around Thumbs down: -parking can be a pain even with lot, place is almost always busy -large groups beware this joint is packed -food is average Will I be back? Only if out of towners want to patron it.

    Impressed at the breadth of the menu offerings and the prices? Yes, I was. For a Monday night, the place was brimming full of diners. Wow. This meant that the food had to be fresh! Families, singles, friends, etc., all were there at various tables. Almost every table had noodle soup- pho or otherwise. Lots of spring rolls and lettuce wraps. Super affordable, so why not? Portions were quite generous! The menu marks what's spicy, gluten free and veg. Only 2 items were marked vegan, but I am sure others could be easily veganized if the mock meat were to be cut from those entrees. The vegan noodle soup was filled with so many veggies, I was surprised! So often, there are 2 veggies and all noodles with soup. Not here!!! Loved it! Plus, the tofu was fresh tofu! Loved it- not fried! The spring rolls had a delicious peanut sauce. Portions, price and freshness- a definite must go if you like noodle soup and are in Minneapolis!!

    The best pho -- even better than the pho in vietnam! They also have amazing ban mis! Highly reccomend quangs :)

  • John W.

    One of the best beef pho around! Awesome eggrolls too. Great beef pho with all the extras to add in. Broth is great, maybe a little too good (MSG?)... They definitely try to turn over tables as fast as possible. Feels rushed when you eat in.

  • Julianne Z.

    The best pho in MInneapolis I think! THey are always so busy but the service is so quick, there is just super fast turnover in their food so everything is super fresh. My favorite is the 503 which is the pho with tendon, meatballs, tripe and flank steak. For some, this might sound a bit strange, but you can tell all of their soups are fresh and so flavorful because of all the ingredients they must use. I also get the spring rolls when I am there. If you are not fan of the traditional fresh spring rolls, get the fried prok and vegetable ones and they will knock your socks off! The best meal you can get for just $8! Perfect for the tundra days!

    Zombies would stop eating brains if they knew about Quang! I love Vietnamese food and am always looking for new spots to eat. I took my oldest son for dinner at Quang and we really enjoyed ourselves. The broth on the Phomwas really good, flavorful, and inexpensive. I had Bung Bo and it was tremendous and filling. I liked their fresh spring rolls, but would say that the wrapper was just the tiniest bit tough and that is why I'm only giving 4 stars. Service is good, and all were friendly until we got to the cashier, who was either having a bad day, or needed a hug as she was pretty crabby. Go for the food, you will be glad you went.

    I woke up on Christmas morning with a hankering for shrimp Spring rolls and sauce, and something delicious that comes with rice. So I called Quang's and they were open from 11am - 9pm on Christmas Day. I thought, Ok I'll go in for a quick bite and they'll probably be empty because of the holiday. WRONG. Place was getting packed by 11:30am when I arrived. I met a little girl in the bathroom, probably around 9 or 10, who was still wearing her pajamas. I asked her if she's picking up food to go, but she informed me that her family owns the restaurant. Amused, I smiled and said Ok and wished her happy holidays and that I was going to sit down to eat. I got myself seated by the host. Table for one. Sometimes there's nothing more pleasant than dining alone! Service was not especially friendly, but it was fast. I'll hazard a guess that people have not had the best experiences here, service-wise, after reading all the reviews. However, I was not unhappy with how my morning turned out. And after a grueling week, I needed some Vietnamese comfort food. The Lemongrass Chicken #407 was sweet and savory, with just the right amount of spicy burn at the end of each bite. The rice was nice and hot, and the salad of cucumber, carrot and lettuce was crunchy and refreshing. I saw giant bowls of Pho being served, complete with accompaniments, and for a split second I felt a slight twinge of regret - perhaps I should've tried their Pho. Next time. The Spring Rolls #101 were good, however they were probably not the best I've ever had. The dipping sauce was delicious though, especially after I topped it off with a healthy pour of sriracha. I also got the Crispy Fried Egg Rolls, and these came out steaming and had to rest before I could eat them. They were delicious. The Viet Coffee was uncommonly good, and only slightly sweet which pleased me exceedingly. Sometimes it's so sweet that it makes your teeth hurt, but it was simply not the case here at Quang's. It suited the spicy meal perfectly. At the counter I saw a large amount of baked goodies, so I got a giant chocolate chip cookie that was still warm, fresh out the oven from what the cashier lady said. She was right. I enjoyed a few bites in my car as I was leaving. I also enjoyed the parking lot, it's a good sized lot for customers. There are a lot of other places I enjoy going to for my Asian cravings, which I suffer from almost on a daily basis. And today my tummy is happy!

    I've now gone here three days in a row -- needless to say, I am a fan! On the first and most recent occasion, I ordered the Pho Tai with spring rolls (wow, good). It's really wonderful: aromatic and packed with delicious sliced beef, rice noodles, herbs, and broth. Probably the best cure for cold weather. For my second outing, I ordered the vegetarian pho (Hu Tieu Chay). This is, as expected, a bit more bland but definitely a great alternative for vegetarians. The location, right on Eat Street, is marvelous. The restaurant itself has a pretty basic interior, but that really doesn't matter. It's PHOnomenal.

  • Stacy T.

    I went here about a year ago. I ordered the pork chops & iced coffee. The food was great and service was awesome too. We went on a Sunday right when they were opening for the day. Great food, fast service, but friendliness of the waiter was mediocre.

    It was a cold winter day, as are all days in Minnesota during the winter. My boyfriend and I ended up checking out Quang Restaurant. it was a rash decision, but it was a a very excellent one. We were seated right away and the service was prompt. 1. We shared with spring rolls with sausage. I like spring rolls, but the sausages made these spring rolls amazing. I declare all spring rolls should contain sausage (sorry vegetarians! I'll take your sausage spring rolls if you don't want them). The texture and taste contrast between the veggies and the sausage was on point. I highly recommend the spring rolls with sausage. The dipping sauce was also great! 2. The banh mi was okay. It wasn't anything special. 3. 310. Bo Nuong, Cha Gio Grilled Beef and Eggrolls- yummy! 4. The pho with sliced beef was phobulous. I did not need to add any other sauces to the pho. The portion was huge. I had enough to take home for lunch. This pho is one of my favorites in town. My one mistake is not writing this review right after going to Quang. I am now craving the spring rolls with sausage and the pho. I regret nothing else. Please go and experience Quang!

    Came here for lunch on a Wednesday. Pretty full house - this place is obviously one of the twin cities favorites. Service was top notch. Today I had pho. While good, I didn't find it to be the ultimate experience others here have. The broth was good, but lacking in aromatics. Good amount of noodles, meat was kind of clumped together but of good quality. The basil served to me was not as abundant as I would have liked, and not as fresh as I would expect it to be in mid summer. Still, all in all a solid performance, certainly several notches above Hoa Bien. I will return. Have had banh mi from here previously, and to my taste, I would recommend that over the pho.

  • Vy B.

    I will keep this review short and sweet. There are four, and only four reasons I go to Quang. 1. Broken rice with grilled pork special (flavorful, nice veggie to rice/pork ratio, delicious with a fried egg, quality meat/egg loaf) 2. Ridiculously cheap vietnamese sandwiches (basic banh mi fillings but hits the spot every time, sometimes, less is more). They pack the sandwiches with pate and the special mayo..and put adequate amounts of cold cuts so it's not just bread -- and the baguette's are always fresh and never stale. 3. Meatball spring roll (aka nem nuong cuon) - I don't know if it's the crunchy onion the put in the spring roll or the savory yet sweet dipping sauce that comes with it but I could eat these things every day for the rest of my life and not get sick of them. 4. FAST service. It's always busy here so the servers and staff don't have time to mess around. Table turnover is super fast and take out is efficient. As a customer, I really appreciate how quick everything goes. Tip -- order extra of the meatball spring roll sauce to pour over the broken rice dish. #nomnom There's a free parking lot in "Quang Plaza" or else street parking all over.

    I've been ordering here for quite a few years. It used to only be a mile away from where I lived and even though I moved to South Minneapolis, I still make the small trek to get my fix of Pho and spring roles. The food is delicious, I've just about ordered it all and the MSG keeps me coming back for more! I gave this place three stars because the service is so terrible. I have to send my Korean american partner to get our food because he is the only one of us who ever gets treated with decency. We don't even dine in anymore because its so uncomfortable. It doesn't matter how fat the tip is that I give them, they always mess up my order, or don't even acknowledge my existence. They love my partner, though... they know him by name and even give him freebies when he picks up food. It grinds my gears, and I'M THE NICE ONE! ha Anyways, I've given up on dining in at Quangs, and if it wasn't for my partner going to get food for me, I would give up on this place, completely. If I find a place that sells pho half as good as this place with amazing service, I will definitely change my Viet spot.

  • Todd D.

    3.5 stars. I've been to Quang a few times in the past and quite enjoyed it. Hard to know if the food has changed much over the years, the locals would be better placed to know that - my three or four visits have been years apart. The service was fine, the food was fine. Maybe part of my issue is that I now live near the heart of the Vietnamese area in DC (Eden Center in NoVa) and have more exposure to really good offerings. We had two of the pork tenderloins over noodles, one of the massive noodle bowls (with sea bass), and the tofu bahn me. I think there was only one beer, the rest water. About $65 for four at lunch. Reasonable enough. I'd certainly continue to visit Quang, but maybe branching out when in the Cities is an option.

    This was probably the biggest vietnamese restaurant I've ever stepped foot in and oddly enough its in the most random place (Minnesota). I came here on a Sunday night around 5 or 6 and the place was packed, luckily we didn't wait more than 5 minutes to be seated. I highly recommend coming here early because all the things I wanted to order were sold out. I ended up having to change my order to grilled beef vermicelli, spring rolls and wonton egg noodle soup with beef balls. The food came pretty quick, but our server seemed really flustered cause she was so overwhelmed from so many customers. I don't blame her since the place was so packed and we continued to be patient with her even when she forget about our need for extra spoons and such. The grilled vermicelli salad was really good, one of the best I've had. The wonton noodle soup was really good as well but I don't see it as vietnamese cuisine?? The wontons were wrapped nicely and it didnt fall apart, the broth wasn't oily either. The spring rolls were really sloppily put together. All the filling was coming out because the ends weren't sealed. Very unprofessional... Portions are rather big, you can easily share one noodle soup with 2 people. Most people usually doggy bag whatever is left. I would give this place 3.5 stars because the grilled vermicelli was good, stick to the more vietnamese dishes and maybe try the cha gio instead of goi cuon.

    Quang is the ultimate *Kanye shrug* to me. And I would leave my review at just that, but I don't like getting my reviews flagged and removed (winky emoji!) I get it, people love this place. No wait, I don't get /WHY/ they love it. But I know that I don't. There's so many other places on Eat St. that have MUCH BETTER Vietnamese food. Like Pho? Go to Pho79. Banh mi? Pho Tau Bay. Bun? My Huong (right across the street!) Spring rolls? Basically anywhere else. What is fantastic is their parking lot, but so many weirdos like coming here that this isn't even much of a bonus. The restaurant is pretty old, dirty and I want to write bastard, but that doesn't make any sense. Neither does coming here. I can't imagine coming back.

    ehhh..... supposed to be known for their pho.. SO OVERRATED. it's popularity caused a fall in quality of food, not to mention lack of cleanliness. Sticky floors and hair in my soup. The only thing worth eating here is beef noodle salad, fortunately I can save the trip and make that easy dish at home.

    I was super excited about coming to Quang for a change for the usual Sunday brunch Pho, but came out a little disappointed. As busy as it was, we were able to get a seat in a good amount of time, and our food was delicious. The only issue I had was the service, it was not good. To start, it took a while for the server to even some over to us, but no big deal we were chatting away, and he stopped by to tell us it will be a bit. We ordered our apps and food together, I decided to change it up a bit; instead of my usual Pho with meatballs, I got the Pho with meat AND meatballs. Crazy, huh? Anyways, the spring rolls and some sweet potato thing we ordered were amazing. Then our orders came and he brought Pho with meat, and I said oh no, I had the pho with meat AND meatballs, so he must've just brought it to the back and added THREE measly meatballs to the bowl. Not to be a pain, but if I order meat and meatballs you better be darn sure I get my share of meatballs. We also ordered chicken wings as an app that never showed up even when we had our meals. NO big deal, as we had enough food already, just thought we should tell him because we would like them eventually, so we politely asked him as he checked in on us, and he interrupted us mid-sentence with an angry "chicken, yeah i know!" Yikes! Despite the poor service, I will be be back because the food is amazing. And the rest of the party said service is usually good. Sadly, that experience gave me a salty taste in mouth (not because of the food). But I'll be back to give it another try!!

    Go on the weekends when they offer special items such as the #606 seabass & shrimp soup or the #607 pork and crabmeat noodle soup. As an avid fan of Vietnamese food I give this place a big thumbs up! In addition the service is efficient and the place is big and clean.

    Hey Quang, can we talk? Alone? Hehe sorry, this all seemed so much easier practicing in the mirror. Kind of awkward having you right here and...well...I guess I've just never felt this way about a restaurant before. I think about you all the time. Sometimes I find myself whispering your name on the bus, at work, before I go to sleep. I can't pretended there haven't been other restaurants in the past but what we have is unique. I know you feel it too. I taste it in the crunch of the egg rolls in the #310, the flirty spice mixture you slide my way on the Lemongrass Chicken. My friends say I'm crazy. "You said this about the last Vietnamese restaurant." They're just jealous of what we have. Anyway sorry to dump this on you out of the blue. We can still take it slowly; our love set to a low simmer like a cauldron of Pho broth.

    Their foods are good..lots of choices to pick from.. BUT HATE their customer services..... it used to be our family to go spot whenever we go to Minneapolis until the last time that we went. Waited 10 mins for a table then when we sat down, waited 20 MINUTES for someone to come and give us our drinks... then MORE waitin until they come back to get our orders... jeezus.. and that lady(I believe it's the owner) behind the counter(cashier) always look mad as heck.. smile for once will ya...and her attitude..

    Large menu, so no matter the size of your group everyone will no doubt find something they love. This is place has always been full of people all the times I've gone, but don't let that turn you away! The table turn time is fast! The servers are always busy, busy, busy, but still manage to be attentive. The food is fast without taking away from the quality. They do have a parking lot, however it is smaller for how big the restaurant is. There is plenty of street parking though!

  • Rowena N.

    The place that makes winter more bearable in Minneapolis. I generally come weekends only because they have specials that they don't have on weekdays. Banh Tom Chien (fried sweet yams and shrimp balls) that comes with the typical sweet/sour sauce is probably my favorite dish here. The portion for this is huge so I definitely would share with others. The other go to is bun rieu which is crab and pork cake with rice noodles. They have this on the weekend as well and are limited in quantity (same with sea bass noodle soup, another recommended dish). They prepare materials for it in the morning so if you come late in the weekend, you might be out of luck. In terms of the standard stuff (beef pho), they are good but you can also find decent beef pho a block away at Pho 76 too.

    My favorite place now for Vietnamese food. It's a family run business by the QuangGang . . . a great picture of them is right inside the door. It's a very busy place around meal times and the number of SA clientele is the best advertisement one could ever want for authenticity of their menu. But even when busy, the wait staff are courteous even when travelling 90 miles an hour to take and deliver your order. Treat yourself and your family. They even have Lucky Buddha brew . . . one of my faves and tough to find.

    I consider Quang's the best place in the Twin Cities for Vietnamese Food! I have tried many different Vietnamese Restaurants and non of them is as good as Quang's in the Twin Cities. My favorites are: Seafood Clear Noodle Soup; Grilled Pork Chop Rice; Grilled Pork Chop Salad; Vietnamese Egg Roll; Spring Roll; Bun Bo Hue; Strawberry Bubble Tea; Hazelnut Bubble Tea; and Classic Beef Pho. They are family owned! Price is fair! ** they are CLOSED on Tuesday's **

    It is one of the best pho restaurant in MN for me, but the service of people is not 4 stars. They have crispy sweet potato and shrimp, that's not easy to find in other pho house. Bubble teas are good, they don't use powder stuff, but they use real tea to make it. Overall, I like the food but the service.

  • Justin B.

    The food was fantastic and I am very happy yelp pointed me in the right direction. The ambiance was underwealming, but again the freshness and choices made up for that. The issue I have with this place is this; the food and wait staff I experienced were above average. What brings this to 3 stars is the interior experience and the experience I had with the cashier. the interior of a restaurant should match the quality of the food. In this case, it would appear this place got real popular via social media and is enjoying the high, but is not updating the restaurant to match the demand and popularity. The cashier is what really drove me to the 3 star rating. She was very annoyed even when not busy, rolled her eyes when I asked for a paper receipt and made me feel that; "hey you already paid, get the hell out of here". With that said, I would still go back!

    I came here because of yelp. We came in on a Sunday night, and it was packed. We had to wait quite awhile for the table and for the food. Whatever my family ordered, they were all good.

    What a workout! From the moment you walk in, there is typically a long line of folks waiting for tables and people who are paying their check. While there is a small waiting area, this is not the typical place you'd come alone (unless it's for take out), so it gets noisy and crowded real quick. Upon sitting down, you'll notice the decoration is bland, and watiers/waitresses overworked to accommodate refilling water, taking orders, get more hoisin sauce and push large carts of dirty dishes from various tables. But the food is so delicious. Typically I go with pho when I go to a Vietnamese restaurant, but I knew being from out-of-town, I had to go unconventional, so I went straight for the weekend specials (towards the back, typically starting with item #601 and up). The Bun Ca Kien Giang might as well be translated into "order this and you will love it," even though it's probably seabass noodle soup. The soup itself was a little bit sweet, but not enough to overpower the seabass - it will satisfy most people in terms of portion, and most likely avoid a food coma as well. The prices are fairly reasonable for the area, and they definitely provide plenty of beansprouts, veggies and others for your soup. Next time when I come back to Minneapolis, I'd swing back to Quang for more of their weekend specials!

  • Linh D.

    3.5/5 I have been going to Quang for basically my entire existence. I can remember being 5 and sharing a bowl of pho with my mom. Growing up it was one of my favorite restaurants. Their pho rivaled even my own mother's, and those words should not be taken lightly. I don't know what has happened in recent years but I just don't feel that magic anymore. The pho is still SO good, don't get me wrong, but it was just once the BEST. The bun bo hue is also worth mentioning. It is one of my most favorite noodle soups, so I was very disappointed with Quang's interpretation of it. To make matters worse they were out of the correct noodles for this dish. A restaurant should never run out of one of their most important ingredients on a weekend, you have to prepare for that! Com tap cam has been my brother's favorite all his life, and still is. The one thing that stays constant in quality are their banh mi sandwiches. The same can be said about their banh mi sandwiches that can be said about the pho, it is not what it once was. The difference though, is their sandwiches are still the very best you can get in the cities. The bread is baked fresh every morning so its crust is still crisp. I'm a classicist and I get the regular combination sandwich, but their other options are all grilled fresh to order and also very tasty. So, maybe not deserving of a 3, but not quite a 4. In its glory days it might have even been a 5, but with popularity it has become more overrated than anything.

    This was probably the first time I received my pho so fast in any place I've eaten besides at home, haha. Service was quick and great but typical of most Vietnamese joints I've been to. The pho was one of the best I'be had so far being in the Twin Cities. I love chili oil, but it was only given upon request. You can also request for the beef to be put on the side, which was what I did. They are also very generous with the amount of limes they give out! I'd give this place five stars, but I must venture back a few more times and explore their other dishes.

    I am biased, I grew up going to this place and it helped me understand how much I truly love Vietnamese food. Quang's grew from a small deli into a fantastic full figured restaurant and I have loved the place every step of the way. Now I'll tell you why: 1. Their food is always delicious (we'll get into this in more detail in a minute) 2. Their prices have always been fair (cheap compared to most) 3. I have been to Vietnam and I'll be honest I like Quangs better... I don't know what that means. 4. The service is good, they are amazingly fast. Also, I like the fact that you never know how much you owe or even what in the hell you ordered when you get your check. Only when you bring it to the cash register do you understand what a great deal you got. Now lets talk about what you should get: 1. Shrimps fried in sweet potatoes - My god! What in the hell are these things? They are amazing... Sweet, fried, hot, delicious and don't forget to dip them in the fish sauce until they are dripping with it (which in my opinion is the key to Vietnamese food!) 2. Fresh Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls - Oh lordy, this is one of my favorite foods in the world and Quang's does it just right.... Like I said about #1, don't forget the fish sauce, get extra if you have to, so that you can cover everything in it like you are at some sort of fantastical health spa where you get to decide who feels good and who gets eaten. Also, the sweet peanut sauce is quite delectable. 3. VERMICELLI NOODLE BOWL - My sweet baby jesus -- JUST THROW THE FISH SAUCE ALL OVER IT! DO IT! it needs to be smothered to be properly enjoyed. Let's all face facts, this dish is fresh, noodley and full of herbs and flavors. Please get the one that comes with egg rolls on top, that crunch really rubs my gullet in the right way - the way a gullet should be rubbed. 4. Don't forget the PHO - I've had Pho in Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia. I have to say I am confident that Quangs makes some damn good Pho, god damn it! The key to Pho is the fixins (and the fish sauce of course.) Quang's Pho comes with lots of fixins. May I also recommend the carmelized lemongrass chicken with broken rice - that shit is great... Oh and the the big fat sweet pork buns are pretty good too and so is the FISH SAUCE! You know what I'm sayin? Fuck it, I'm out - Peace yall - go eat some Quangs - seriously. Love, Max

    DEEEEEELLLLLIIIIIIISHHH!! I grew up on Pho being Asian and this place has the closest Pho to home-made for me. YUMMY!!! If I could live off of pho, this would be the place except for having to actually drive there. Everything here is A-MAY-ZIIIIING! If you are going to do an appetizer than you MUST try the egg-rolls. Completely authentic and phenom. Even their drinks were great! Im getting hungry, maybe it's time for more Quang Restaurant.

    The food is good... the place even got a shout out in a Van Son production! Color me confused as H E Double Hockey Sticks at the dissent around here. Such quality Vietnamese food is unheard of this far from the coasts and it seems like Minnesotans have figured it out: this was by far the busiest Vietnamese restaurant I've ever seen. Banh tom chien, com tam (everything-but-the-kitchen-sink-style with bi, ga kho, and a specially requested side of pho broth!), bun, banh bo nuong, banh chuoi hap, all excellent. Huge portions, all of the flavors on point. These guys know what they're doing. Follow your heart's desire.

  • Yelpe R.

    I know Pho and this is not the real deal! Their menu (and soup) is completely watered down to appeal to mediocre Minnesotan palates. Quang's needs to get back to basics. Service was fast, but so is every other pho establishment. Do yourself a favor and skip this one, despite the uptown hipsters and apparent popularity.

    First time in the city and first thng i was gonna try was a nice pho place, The establisment of this place was really pack and busy on a sunday. I totally felt like i was home because I knew the kind of food that they bring. I love the food here, and cant wait to come back for me. Loving Minnesota already

    One of these days I hope to try a sandwich since I have heard nothing but good things, but they are usually sold out by the time I get there. I always end up going with the beef and egg roll sandwich, it is amazing and probably the best egg rolls I have ever had.

  • Boris T.

    EXcellent food. Very busy on a typical weekday. Their Pho is great -- do beware if you get takeout the beef will be raw so you may want to cook it. The sandwiches are exellent as well! two thumbs up!

    I stopped in for a quick lunch, I was in the mood for some Pho and I heard this was a place to check out. The Pho was good, something like $7 for a pretty large bowl. I've had better, but this is good. I had some spring rolls as well. Again they were good, but I've certainly had better. There is a new trend of drinking Bubble Tea that I am a little behind the ball on, so I tried my first sample at Quang's. A cup cost $3.50, but I was pleasantly surprised. I got the Chai Tea flavored version. It was a sweet refreshing drink with maybe 2 dozen small round fruit like balls. They give you a very wide straw, so you can suck the fruit balls through the straw. I'd recommend that you check out the Bubble Tea.

    Wow! Ate here once on a business trip to Minnesota. Co-worker took me here because he said it was the best Viet food in the state. 100% agreed. Everything was perfectly seasoned and just delicious. yum! Place was packed on a weekday night during dinner hours.

    Try going early in the morning on the weekends,around 10:30 -11am.Once Noon hits,the place is jammed packed and the wait times are from 10-20 minutes.I prefer to eat when its not so crowded.Excellent Pho,he best broken rice dishes and the Sausage Spring Rolls are the best,also the chicken wings!

  • Mere W.

    I love Pho! (That is my caveat.) I have eaten pho in at least 5 Twin Cities spots. My husband and I went to Quang on a Friday night so I could get my pho on. We knew it was a good sign when they were packed - with a variety of people. There were families, couples, large groups and all different ethnicity's waiting for a table. The wait was minimal, only about 15 minutes for the the two of us and it looked like they had a healthy takeout business. They can seat a ton of people and they turn tables fast so don't get discouraged by a crowd. Now to the food - yum! As I mentioned I love pho but not the traditional beef kind. I eat chicken pho. The chicken was well cooked and tender. The noodles were perfect and they had all the standard toppings. However, the reason I'm giving them 4 instead of 5 stars is the oil in the broth. You could see the oil on top of the broth and it was not the best broth I've had in the cities. My husband ordered the lemongrass chicken and I was jealous. It was so good! He usually does not care for Vietnamese but I know we'll be back. Don't come for the ambiance but come for the food!

    I'm a latecomer, finally ate at Quang this week. It was a hot day so I wasn't in the mood for pho. I ordered grilled beef salad noodles (bún). Seasoning was awesome. Quang's version has a higher noodle-to-lettuce ratio than I prefer, but that would be easily remedied by just asking when ordering. This bowl also had LOTS of beef in thin strips--really tasty, but a couple of the pieces were too tough to chew. My dining companion had grilled shrimp salad noodles, also really delicious. I am eager to return to try pho or perhaps a rice plate. Everything coming from the kitchen looked mouth-watering yummy. Service was friendly and quick.

  • Cheryl T.

    Gotta be honest with you, at most asian restaurants if you're looking for friendly service you're barking up the wrong tree but I can agree that the cashier and the woman who seats you are abnormally true to the typically rude character. Food was great and authentic and reminded me of home. Downside is how regularly they run out of banh mi and that they're closed on Tuesdays. That led me to trying out Lu's Sandwiches across the street which has turned into an excellent find!

  • Samnang B.

    It's listed as the #1 Hot spot for Pho eaters! I just came from there and it wasn't that great. Their spring rolls today were sloppy and their food was kinda salty. Hmm must be a new chef in town or so. The food was kinda quick but they sucked on refilling water! This place serves different types of food from Pho to broken rice... to Vermicelli and other entrees. If you decide to go there, you must try their fried taro with shrimp balls. Parking is pretty tight... Good luck on finding a place to park.

    Quang's was my go-to place for pho for a while, simply because everyone I know goes to Quang's for pho. Then I discovered some other places I like better so I haven't gone to Quang's in a while. Regarding their pho, Quang's is pretty good. The pho tai comes with semi-raw slices of beef that cook up quickly in the hot broth. Some places that cater to non-Vietnamese tend to serve it all cooked, which ruins the experience. Like Anne M says, the broth can be oily. I also find that it can be a little too cinnamon-y. Because of the high volume of pho they sell, you can tell they are trying to be efficient, but it kind of comes off negatively when you get their pho and spring rolls. The rice paper wrapping on the spring rolls are also always a little too dry, making the spring rolls stick together and the eating part a little chewier than I like. Even though they come apart easily, the rice noodles come a little too clumped. There's also not really enough noodles compared to noodle soups that I've had else where. My parents are pretty skinny but eat A LOT, so they were disappointed by the amount of noodles. Noodles are cheap, so I'm not sure why they have so little in their regular size bowl. Their banh mi are cheap. They are also one of the few places that include pate in their traditional banh mi, but it's a little skimpy. I feel I should start bringing in my own teeny can of pate whenever I order a sandwich. My friend - who is my local authority on Vietnamese food because she is a foodie and Vietnamese - likes Quang's because they serve a more traditional pho broth. However, she warns that you should always get an itemized receipt because she's been overcharged for items. Like $1.85 for a $1.55 milk tea. Not a lot, but it's still shady. I don't know about this since I never ask for one, but I will when I go there next time. Overall, Quang's is a reliable place to go. Service and food are decent, but if you want pho and spring rolls that are a little better, try going elsewhere.

    The food is very consistent but not unique. It is the McDonalds of pho resturaunts. The service is fair at best due to the poor layout of the kitchen to the dining room. It's pretty clear to see that the staff is urged to keep the clients turning as fast as possible. Don't even try to get in on the weekends anywhere near the lunch or dinner time. It's not unusual to have a 30 minute wait and in the winter that means standing in the cold doorway. You can take a table outside in the summer but remember your server has to navigate through the customers waiting in line to get in. I recommend going to Pho Tau Bay two blocks to the south. The menu is almost word for word the same and I've NEVER waited in line.

    Ok, i am not going to lie, but I get headaches whenever I eat Pho! (and I'm Asian) I don't really order pho anyways. This place has varieties of selections in pho, vermicilli, and other entrees. I absolutely love their springs rolls, I forgot the name of it but it has the crunchy meat inside, yum! I love their Thai desert. Fast service and friendly staffs. Expect a wait but not long, this place is always BUSY!

    This is where I go for Vietnamese food that is as authentic as it gets. The Pho is great (a bit too much broth, but still amazing), I love the egg rolls, and my absolute favorite is the 310 - cold noodle salad with beef and egg roll. Service is quick and it is very reasonably priced. Their banh mi and bubble tea are good, as well!

    Quang's: Speedy Service. Yummy Food. I walked in w/the GF full of snow and ready to chow down. I had the chicken breast eggroll over rice, yummy! the soup? so-so. The service was awesome though and that made for a quick and fresh meal. The rice was steamin' hot and the food all tasted super fresh. A place definitely worth trying out. Parking is limited and the place gets packed quick. If you can walk/bike, that's a plus. Plus, you won't feel so guilty for ingesting all those carbs.

    I grew up eating at Quang's Deli/Restaurant - it has the best Vietnamese noodles and rice dishes in Minneapolis. My favorite is their broken rice and grilled pork dishes - a must! Yes, you can get Pho there but...There are better Pho places down the street. That doesn't change the facts this place has the 'best' everything else!

    It was time for a little jaunt out on the town with the team at work on our mission to try unique restaurants the other guys on the team have not tried before. We hopped on the 18 bus outside work on Nicollet Ave. and went down to 27th. Street and Nicollet Ave. The simple awning read Quang on the front and looks very unobtrusive with its simple brown paint job. We sauntered in the restaurant and the expansive dining area was about 4/5 full and a mixed conglomerate of clientele. We started out with the egg rolls, and they were delicious. Crispy layers covering the sweet pork and veggie filling with a dipping sauce. Thinking back I should have requested some hot mustard to dip it in. The egg rolls were 4 bucks for two of them, but they are pretty long and they cut them into bite size hunks of goodness. Most of our team ordered the lemon chicken because it had 2 spicy peppers next to the description in the menu and Diet Pepsi was the drink of choice around the table. The drinks were refilled many times and the service was fantastic (More on that later) The chicken came on a bed of rice and some cucumber slices and leaves of lettuce. The chicken was piquant but not too spicy. It didn't make your nose run or anything, but add some rooster sauce on it and now you are talking fun. Spiciness everywhere and mixing the rice with the chicken with droplets of the red liquid of the morning crower was like heaven. If they added cashews to the dish, it would be a solid top ten dish. Two of the other guys ordered one of the huge bowls of soup with rice noodles in it and shrimp that looked gorged on the huge bowl of broth that it was swimming in. It looked real good and the other dish had an egg roll in it and noodles I think but it was all the way across the table so I didn't get a great look at it, but it was his recommendation, so I am guessing it was good. Now the only sucky part. We each left 2 bucks on the table for a tip for the great service, but when we went up front to pay, we didn't realize the cashier also added the gratuity into our bill. Not a big deal, but it was just the principle of the thing that irked me. No where that I saw mentioned them adding in gratuity automatically. Leave that up to me please. Other than that I would definitely try the subs they have pictured on the wall that look delicious, but I'll make sure not to get double "Tipped" again.

    #505 Pho Soup (Pho Tai- Fresh sliced beef noodle soup $6.95) is so delicious! all the great trad Pho sides. excellent flavor. great quality. not at all greasy. As was the excellent #310 Bun Thit, Cha Gio - (Grilled beef and egg roll salad $7.50) This is a warm/hot "salad", I'd call it a noodle dish more than salad. Hot eggroll, warm noodles and hot BBQ grilled with excellent smokey grill taste meat. lots of good basil, and either mint or cilantro along with cucumber, peanuts, carrots. Also tried the #407 Com Ga Xao (Caramelized lemon grass chicken served w/ broken rice $7.50). First, it was not at all spicy even though the menu had two chili peppers on it. also, you got very little of it! smallest portion of any Vietnamese or Chinese food I've ever seen! It did taste good but not spicy at all and far too small a portion. The first two dishes you got a lot more for your money. I posted photos of all three. Service was good and friendly. the place was real busy but we were seated right away and our food came pretty quick.

    This was my first time having Vietnamese food and I enjoyed it. Food: I ordered the pork chop w/ broken rice platter. The rice is basically white rice, but different from your typical Uncle Ben's brand. It's sticky and the grain is short. I liked it! The ladies I went with ordered the Pho soup, which several other patrons were having. After tasting some of theirs, I realized why it was popular; it's very rich and savory. I ended up ordering the Pho Tai (beef soup) to go. Price: Affordable. An entree and soda will cost about $10. Add a yummy appetizer (like spring rolls or egg rolls) and your bill is still under $15. Ambiance: By the looks on the outside and the decor inside, this is a no-frills kind of place. However, it is very relaxed, unpretentious, and offers a large open space that can accommodate larger groups (I'd suggest calling ahead to have them hold tables). Service: This isn't the type of place where people linger around after eating so waiting to be seated wasn't an issue. Once seated, the staff was attentive, but not at all annoying. Never once did I feel rushed or ignored. Also the food came out quickly. Thanks to Mariel L. for suggesting we go.

    This is the best Vietnamese food I've had so far in the Twin Cities. I've only tried three things off the menu (Pho with sliced beef, grilled chicken with broken rice, and some BBQ beef salad thing), but they've all been great. Prices and portions are very reasonable. This place gets super busy around mealtimes and service is kind of slow, in general.

    QUANGS! I cannot get enough. Been here a few times and every time I am jazzed to go, jazzed to be there and jazzed I still have food remaining for another night of QUANGS! I've only got their pho here and it.is.to .die.for! Can't go wrong. At all. I've had a pork and seafood pho, beef and meatballs pho and roast pork with dry egg pho here. The broth has been perfect every time and the helping is generous - with all the fixins to boot. Quang's, you have left a pho cut out hole in my heart. ....until I come back.

    I've been coming to Quang for years now, and found it a bit of a surprise that I never got around to writing a review for this place. From how packed this place always is, it's not a surprise to see such favorable reviews across the board. I pretty much feel the same about this place. My typical order is one version of the variety of pho soups they have on order. If I am not feeling like pho, I'll grab a bowl of one of their Chinese style egg noodle soups, or if I am there on a weekend, the seafood seabass soup is without a doubt one of the best soups in the Twin Cities. I have had some of their non soup dishes, but in my opinion, the soup is what to come for. Oh yeah, and while it is not a soup, they do make some of the best spring rolls I've ever had. I don't quite know what they do here, but they are really really good.

    A friend from Hong Kong recommended this restaurant and Pho 79. I have now tried them both. This restaurant seems larger than Pho 79 with a large open room. it was very busy when we arrived at about 6pm on a Wednesday night. Our waiter spoke English, but was very hard to understand given his accent. We shared some spring rolls, which were good. I ordered the Com Ga Xao which was carmelized lemon grass chicken with broken rice. The food was good, but the quantity was quite small. It was enough food, but I would expect that I would be service enough so that I had a decent size quantity to take home once I am finished eating. The decor isn't upgraded or modern, but that's not expected with this style of restaurant. I did get a spot in the parking lot, but it was very full. I managed to get a spot as someone was exiting. One thing to watch out for- is there doesn't seem to be capability to move between sections of the parking lot- so if I hadn't gotten the particular spot that opened up, I'd need to back out into the sometimes busy Nicollet street to try to get into the next "row" in the parking lot.

    I've eaten precisely one meal AT Quang. It was a Friday night and was complete bedlam. Now, I just settle for a contact high of that craziness by doing take out on average about once every other week. On that first trip, I ordered the pho with meatballs. I can't say it was for me. The meatballs were really tightly packed and unpleasantly tough with an over-spiced quality to them (not too spicy, mind you, but the several whole coriander seeds proved to be too much for even a veteran coriander lover such as myself). On subsequent take out trips, I've stood firmly by the pho with thinly sliced raw beef and it's like a religious experience. That beef broth could raise the dead and heal the terminally ill. That and an order of the pork spring rolls (split with my husband) ends up being a MASSIVE dinner by my standards. And the total (even after tax and tip)? Less than $20 for two bowls of pho and an order of spring rolls. I've been interested in trying their sandwiches at lunch for a while, but they always seem to be sold out by the time I get there. They evidently have a following! Quang is great. Certainly not upscale or even all that original, but darned tasty and beloved. Don't try to go on a weekend evening and if you do, godspeed.

    I see a trend of Cali or other people who live in vietnamese dense cities giving low reviews. Why? Because you can get crazy good Vietnamese food for dirt cheap. I'm from Seattle and we can get some pretty good food there too, though, not as good as Cali. For just moving to the Midwest however, this place will satisfy your Vietnamese craving with pretty decent food. Having said this, it's one of the better ones that I have experienced in the Midwest as far as price, variety, and authenticity goes. This place was busy but we didn't have to wait too long. And it was worth it considering I really haven't had any good Vietnamese restaurant food for a while now. On weekends they had some deli items you can get to go. Service is what to be expected at Vietnamese places. Nothing special but still friendly and fast. Will definitely return when in town again.

  • Angie C.

    They were good, but then they got over their heads Experience: The service isn't that great. It seems like they're always understaffed so prepare to not see your waiter/waitress much. If you do see them they're often forgetful of your requests. Food: The food has been consistent in quality, which is good. It wasn't anything spectacular to begin with, but at least the quality hasn't gone down in the past 10 years...just the service. I don't recommend the Viet Ice Coffee, it's a hit or miss. Back in the day they use to prepare it fresh at your table, but now it's pre-made and sits in a container. Overall: The family used to care more about customer service, but it seems like with growth in business they've developed a bit of an attitude. It's unfortunate since I've been going to them for years now. However, if you want cheap and fast pho this is a decent spot.

    Love Quang....love love love. Had a doctor's appointment on Friday-and met a friend for lunch at Quang after. I'm one week from my due date, and heard spicy food might give baby a "boost"-so off we went. I've been here a few times-my favorite has been a special that's only on the weekend-a tomato/crab/pork/noodle soup. They didn't have it on Friday, so i settled for some meatball Pho. With lots of added Sraicha to make it fun. Egg rolls awesome as usual. This place is always packed-cuz people know what's good.

    This is my favorite place for vietnamese food in the city!!! I only like my pho with slices of beef and tendon, and the Quang is great about not loading my soup with anything else. The fried chicken, spring rolls, sandwiches, limeade soda, sugarcane shrimp and tropical fruit dessert are also yummy choices. My friends surprised me with a cake for my birthday here and the wait staff was very pleasant.

  • Salinee H.

    Pho is such a wonderful thing for a Sunday lunch. And Quang's has some of the best. Their deep fried sweet potatoes with shrimp is also a must have for an appetizer. I always get the chicken pho (they put 2 quail eggs in it too which isnt necessary) and an order of the sweet potatoes with shrimp. The place is always busy. But everything seems to run so efficiently that you'll never have to wait for too long. I do wish they had more options for entrees. Sometimes when I go to eat Vietnamese, I switch it up so I can get some rice. But nothing seems like it would be better than their pho.

    This is a very busy restaurant though even with that we got our food quickly and prepared well.

Everything that was ordered at my table was very tasty.

    We go to Quang's once or twice a month - whenever the mood strikes. I usually get #407 and ask them to make it spicy. The food is always good. Never had any problems with it. I highly recommend it! On the other hand, the service is hit or miss. The hostess seems to always want to fill the outside perimeter booths and inside tables first. This can lead to sitting somewhere that has you crammed in uncomfortably. Speak up and get the table you want. The college age asian guy with the spikey hair and thick (trendy) black glasses is the waiter you want. Ask to be seated in his section. Having had him many times, he is hands-down their best waiter and always gets everything right. The orders are always correct, he has no problem doing little extras (like bringing out boxes or containers for leftovers, special requests for food, extra sauce, etc). He's always very very happy and friendly. The bill is always accurate and he's always around if we need him. The two younger, attractive, women waitresses are both terrible and have an attitude. Every time we've been stuck with one of them we've had an issue. Just yesterday we were stuck with one of them. She forgot our sodas, even after we asked twice. She also forgot to bring out my plate, but brought out everyone elses. Everyone else was done eating before mine was brought out. It was seriously a good 20 extra minutes for mine - stir fry chicken - not exactly complicated. I kept trying to track her down but she was no where to be found. We also asked for boxes and she never brought them out. I eventually had to just go up to the front counter myself and get them from the counter staff. It wasn't even busy! The place was half empty! On other occasions with the two of them, they've forgotten items and overcharged us. I'm not sure if they are intentionally padding the bill or are just sloppy, but it's gotten so bad that we now have to ask for an itemized bill (normally they just write your total on a ticket) and we keep one of the menus and do the math at the end to make sure we aren't getting ripped off. We've been overcharged $5-$10 on different occasions. So, the food is great, and if you get a good waiter and a nice table, the experience overall can be great too. Just be careful about your bill - double check it!

    Compared to other Pho and Vietnamese food in the Twin Cities, this place falls short. Generic flavors, bland pho, and so-so prices. I suggest going up the street to Pho 79 for a bowl of pho. I've tried this place several times and always leave feeling a bit disappointed. It is also one of the few Vietnamese restaurants in the city where you will see very few Vietnamese people, warning sign number 1!

    I just read a review that gave a 2 star with lot of negative comments on this restaurant. I am not a Vietnamese but I think this restaurant is the best one I have had so far. I think Pho was as good as it could get. The spring rolls were so yummy that I had to take some more to my hotel. The place was packed when we got there and it was absolutely obvious that people around me were all happy with the food. Strongly recommend this place unless you are either Vietnamese or have 100 Vietnamese restaurant in your area.

    Quang is a Minneapolis staple for Vietnamese food on Eat Street. It can get packed during lunchtime, and the food comes out very quickly. Prices are also reasonable, though there is an extra cost to eat-in banh mi (lame). It is good, not great, but will hit the spot if you are craving Vietnamese. I don't eat beef or pork, so I've only had the chicken/vegetarian dishes personally. They have been fresh, full of delicious veggies, in a huge bowl full of food. The chicken has been well cooked and tender. Again, the food is decent, but I'm not sure anything beyond reputation (and occasionally some cute waitresses) sets it apart from its competitors.

    I loved walking into this restaurant and seeing all different types of people eating here. Colleagues, families, friends, birthday parties, etc. Also, not just Asian people, sooo diverse. Pho obviously is a must, their broth is amazing. Rolls are great and so are their vermicelli cold salads. Anything with pork chop is amazing and they give you so much pork chop. Price is right too. Awesome for Vietnamese in the Twin Cities.

    My family is Vietnamese and this is the place my parents always want to go when they come to visit. I usually get the rice, pork chop, shredded pork plate (com bi). I've also tried the pho which was pretty good but still not as good as my parents. Prices are good but slowly increasing so hopefully they keep it reasonable. I really want to give it that 5th star but I just can't - maybe because I still prefer my parents cooking so I know this isn't the best, at least for me.

    mmmmm..... my favorite spring rolls live here. My other favorite is the beef and meatball PHO. I've never been disappointed when I branch out and try something new and the old stand-bys always taste consistently good. The service is fast and friendly. Ohh.... and cheap!! A giant bowl of soup for 7 bucks?!?!?

    This place has the atmosphere of a FAST food place (more so than other Vietnamese places that I have been). At 2pm on a Sunday afternoon, it was jammed pack with people coming and going. But it was not difficult getting a sit. Service was kinda lacking and the timing of the food was not great (husband got food 10 minutes before mine), but what do you expect from a fast food place? The Pho broth was quite good (slightly better than most places that I have visited). Too much meat (but that's just me)! My husband insisted on getting the spring rolls because some person was raving about them on Yelp. Overrated. Spring roll is spring roll and if you mess it up, then you definitely didn't know what you were doing! The bun noodle salad was good (crispy and fresh greens, noodle cocked properly, fried roll was average) but I have definitely had MUCH MUCH better elsewhere. Overall, very satisfying lunch and I would totally go back cause I'm too lazy to make my own. On the coast, I would probably give this 2 (maybe slightly higher). I guess this is probably as good as it gets out here (in Minneapolis).

    This place is packed! I had a 20 minute wait around 1:30pm on a Sat. So yes, this place is popular. If you follow me, you know that I love pho and I usually get egg rolls, Lime/Lemon drink, and of coarse steak/beef pho. -Pho is amazing, broth is rich and has all the flavors that make it great mmm mmm mmm I want some now as I write this! -Egg rolls are good, get them. -The lime drink is the best I've had at a Vietnamese restaurant. I love pho and this place just adds to my love. Hugs to you Quang Restaurant!!

    Prices are fair and super tasty. The lady running the register was super rude. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt and say t was because they were super busy. I ordered sandwiches to go and asked to have my vegetables packed separately (to take them out of town). She said that it's not possible but they do pack the carrots separately, which was fine. Problem was, there isn't enough for all of my sandwiches! I'm going to ask for extra next time. Their flan was really good! Creamy in consistency and perfect level of sweetness. I will be returning!

    3.5 Stars Quang Restaurant didn't quite live up to the hype. We ate dinner here last winter while in the area for a concert. It was PACKED when we walked in and we had to wait a bit for a table. FYI -- Many of the tables are communal, so Quang's may not be the place for you if you don't like sitting with strangers or a "mess hall" atmosphere. The three of us ordered about five different things, and none of them arrived at the table at the same time. I also think the people that sat down next to us after we were seated got their food before we did. I was excited to see vegetarian pho on the menu since it can be hard to find. I was less excited when I ordered a banh mi and they told me they were "out" of the kind I wanted. I think Quang's pre-makes their banh mi and that's just kind of wrong. Anyways, all the food we did get was very good, but not so memorable that I can recall any details six months later. Quang's just might be too big for its britches. Not sure if I'll be back.

    I really liked this place, it truly looks and tastes like a family restaurant. The broth itself here, was so delicious. I wanted to take a dip in it, so simple yet so good. I really don't have words to describe it. Lots of options and even more for vegetarians. One of the best Vietnamese food I have had. The servers are friendly and the service was good as well. I ordered the Mock Duck and was very fast in wiping the plate. As I was told they always have clear broth with their food in Vietnam. The broth with it did I say amazing? A must try place in MN.

    A bowl of piping hot pho can go a long way as the season changes, so fellow Yelper Fia R and I decided to visit this popular Vietnamese restaurant just down the street from Pho 79. The large interior was festive, super crowded, and they sell a range of snacks and steamed buns at the front counter. The protocol included a short wait, abbreviated table service, and pay at the counter as you leave. Goi Guon ($3.50) came with two spring rolls and shrimp, pork, vermicelli, and mix of veggies embedded. The score of ingredients were dry and unimpressive. The rice paper was gummy and difficult to chew. The price was good, but it was pre-made and mass-produced. Not worth getting. Pho Thap Cam ($8.50) came with slices of beef, tendon, brisket, meatballs, and tripe. For the price, the bowl was smaller than expected, but the broth received a passing grade with a decent beefy depth and a moderate sweet surge at the end. I've had much better broth but in this case it was better than the one at Pho 79. The beef was still red at the center, but the flavor was not as exceptional as their down the street counterpart. The rest of the support cast was delicious, and the squeeze of lime, siracha, and plum sauce brought all the flavors to live. Bun Thit Nuong Cha Go ($7.95) came with grilled beef, Vietnamese egg roll, peanuts, mix veggies, vermicelli, and fish sauce. The egg roll was crispy, tasty, and goes well with the fish sauce. The beef had a nice lemongrass flavor, and there was good separation on the vermicelli. Recommendable but not exceptional. The experience was solid with an above average broth. However, when compared to other pho restaurants I have been to, the price and value did not add up to what I consider as exceptional. Service was friendly, quick, and to the point. Except for the appetizer, we enjoyed the overall experience, but thought Pho 79 still received a higher mark. I hope to try some of the other Vietnamese restaurants in the area before deciding whether to come back.

  • Ka Noog Y.

    The food here is better then your average Vietnamese restaurant. The food is great, BUT, some major cons about this restaurant is, ITS ALMOST ALWAYS PACKED ! I feel like the place is too small and overly packed with guest. It's so busy that it took us almost an hour to get our food. We were seated so closely to the table next to us, that it seemed like we were dining in with the people sitting beside us. The staff was okay, they weren't the best, but it's understandable, since the place was crowded. Overall, if you don't mind dining in a cramped restaurant, or being seated close to strangers, or waiting for an hour for food, come to Quang, their food is great.

  • Melissa H.

    This place is great on so many levels. First, most importantly the food is fantastic. I've never had a better spring roll, bahn mi or pho. The vegetable tofu pho is the bomb. The egg roll vermicelli salad is incredible, the shrimp/pork spring rolls are a perfect starter. Also, they are very efficient. It is amazing how fast they are even though it's packed all the time. They must have a great process in place because they get it right every time. I could eat here almost every day I think. If only I didn't live so far from it.

    Got the tip for this place from Vy B. My job was in the area so I figured I had to give it a shot. Nicollet Ave in that area has a few Vietnamese businesses with a nice little store across the street from Quang. I walked in and was seated almost immediately. In a another review I read that the Nem Nuong Cuon was a must try so I got that and an order of Com Tom Xao and Che Dau Trang for dessert. While I was waiting a nice woman in the booth in front of me let me try her Pho Tai which she only had eaten a small bit of. After trying the pho I was afraid I would be in for a disappointing evening. It was rather bland even with the mint. My order came out though and after trying the rolls I was feeling a bit better. The rolls were crunchy and spicy and came with a great dipping sauce. The shrimp was next and was seasoned fantastically. I was slightly disappointed in the Che Dau Trang because of the bean to rice ratio; too many beans for my taste and not enough rice and coconut. A rather good restaurant, I like that they take cards, parking wasn't too brutal, service wasn't what I would call friendly but was very quick. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area again.

    Can I just say....OMG! I'd been hearing great things about Quang's Pho soups and finally was in the area to try it out. That soup was even better than I had imagined! I had the Beef Pho with extra rare beef. The best Pho in Minneapolis!

    Another really good place to go for Vietnamese food off Nicollet Ave. I have been going here since they used to be in their first location. Always packed on the weekends, be ready for a wait but worth it. My favorites to have here are the shrimp and sweet potato appetizer, beef stew with French bread, and the Seafood Hu Tieu ( clear noodle soup). They also have bubble tea, love strawberry and plenty of other drink and dessert options as well. They always have Banh Mi and variety of bakery items at the register that you can buy to take home.

  • Jessica C.

    sometimes I just crave Quang and it won't go away until I get it. I love that they have vegetarian options that are actually delicious and satisfying. they have the best rice noodle salads I've tried so far in the twin cities, just a great balance of flavors and freshness. yummy bahn mi sandwiches if they haven't run out yet. my hubby likes the lemongrass chicken and a broken rice dish he's had. oh and I'm obsessed with the fresh lime-aide soda. just an all around solid go-to Vietnamese place. haven't tried the pho yet, but probably will the next time I go because it seems like that's what's most people are eating there. must be good : )

  • Sarah C.

    I don't even know how to form the words to express my deep, deep love for Quang. Their pho is absolutely the best in the city and I crave it several times a week. They also happen to have the best egg rolls, spring rolls, noodle salads and banh mi that I've tried. I can see how some people might be turned off by the service, but this place is always packed and the servers are just trying to keep things rolling. Grab one of the huge, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies on your way out, if you can handle it after just ladling a gallon of hot beef broth into your body.

    I went there once a while back and was trill to return again after 3 years because the food was amazing. I've seen friends talking about the bad customer service there but didn't think it was true. Today my friend, husband and 5 month old daughter went in. We waited about 10 minutes to be seated. When seated the lady that took us to our seat didn't even gave us a booster seat for my daughters car seat we had to put the car seat on another chair ( Very unsafe ). We got our drinks and ordered. After our first couple dishes my friend finished his drink and my was almost done I watched a waiter refill the couple next to us and walked past our table to the next table on our other side and refill their drinks. At first I didn't think anything of it. When we were finish my husband went to pay and had asked for the to go boxes since we couldn't finish our chicken and the cashier goes the boxes are on the shelve. Of course they were still in bags since he's not an employee there he didn't want to go grab it. We left the chicken on the table and left. I was so upset I told my husband not to even tip because 1. It took them 10 minutes to seat us. 2. My baby didn't even get a proper seating. 3. We didn't even get any drink refills, worst they refilled the customers next to us and skipped us when one of our cup was empty and another almost empty. 4. The cashier told my husband to grab the to go boxes when my husband doesn't even work there and didn't feel comfortable to get it. If only we were as rude as they were I have much things I would've like to say to them. We don't complain much, we just like to get our food, eat and leave. We would like to be treated like everyone else too. The reviews we've received from friends and family is that they are great with other customers but when it comes to Asian they give us bad customers service. Honestly I would return but if it comes to something that I have to point out yes next time I will speak out.

    I've been coming here for years, and for years they've been serving the best Vietnamese food in the Twin cities. Their service however gets worse and worse. The wait times are longer, you hardly see your server after they drop off your food, and their tables are getting closer and closer together. It feels like you're sharing a meal with the next table. Tonight, we were seated by a 10 year old, never saw our server after they dropped off our food, and when we went to pay, the bitchy cashier told me she couldn't ring me up without a check, then walked away. It makes sense, but she made no effort to go find my server; like I was to go to the kitchen and find them myself. Great food, but horrible service. I'll never forget that cashier's face. Go somewhere else or do take out.

    Sometimes on a cold day, I like to get cold food. So I got myself a vermicelli with beef. It had the fish sauce where you pour over the noodles. The fish sauce could have been a little sweeter and a tad bit less watery but overall it was good for the fact that it's in Minnesota. Definitely, nothing can beat Vietnamese food from SoCal! If I'm back in Minneapolis and I'm craving some kind of Vietnamese food, I wouldn't mind coming back here. Make sure to get here a little early before normal dinner time because it can get busy pretty quickly. I got here around 6:30 or 7pm and it was packed but service was still great.

  • Moody S.

    PROS: Please read the "CONS" CONS: Unbelievably rude and self-entitled cashier (I suspect she's the owner)! The food was okay. The server we had was actually good and polite. It was the lady standing behind the cashier counter that was extremely rude from the moment we walked in. Twice, throughout the evening she assumed I took something from he desert counter without paying for it! I was even more irked when I saw the way she talked to other staff members, which led me to deduce that she's the owner or somehow related to the owner. I had to give her a piece of my mind before I left. There are way too many restaurants out there that make the same quality food, if not better, AND knows how to treat its customers well, for me to ever think of going back ever again. I definitely do not recommend it. PARKING: Available. All-in-all, never setting foot in that place again.

    Efficiently run Vietnamese kitchen that packs big flavor and portions with great value. Combination Pho (dac biet): A Noodles were cooked well, broth was delicious. Generous portions of beef, tendon, flank. Spring Rolls: B A bit overdone on the skins made them sticky and prone to breakage. Definitely nothing special. Egg Rolls: A Fried to a nice golden brown. Served with fish sauce and pickled dikon / carrots. I was disappointed to find that the Bun Bo Hue did not contain pork blood (traditional). Overall a great place for some Vietnamese noodle soup, which is hard to come by in Minneapolis.

    Like pho? Get it here. Don't like pho or looking for something different? No problem, there's a big menu with lots to choose from. Nothing fancy about the place, but the food is quality and I've never left hungry. FYI: they're closed on Tuesdays.

  • Bryce V.

    Quang, more like dang... I used to love quangs when I first moved to Minneapolis a year ago, I had never been exposed to Vietnamese food so I thought it was great. After having homemade and other restaurants, I now see through that facade. The food is either pretty good, or sub-par. It's about a 25/75, sub par being the latter of the two. The wait staff is okay, they have a lot of customers so they're usually very busy. The front of house seems very unappreciative of customers and very impersonable. Last time I went I asked if they had any banh mi, and the person coldly and quickly said no. She didn't offer any substitute or any apology, it was if she was rushing me out. As a restaurant I understand running out of ingredients occasionally, but half the time it seems like they're out of some ingredient or a dish. Overall, it's an mediocre experience, and if you're thinking quangs, let me spare you hindsight later as I urge you to reconsider.

    (2)
  • Jeff H.

    Wow, this is great food. The Pho, the grilled chicken noodle salad, the pad Thai, all great choices. So many good things on this menu that I would have to give up my favorites to try them all. Only downside is they close by 9 pm, and lock the door around 8:45, so if you order take out late, you have to wait for someone inside to leave to get in and get your food.

    Went here for the first time last night. We had the vegetarian egg rolls, which as others have said--are incredibly good. We also each ordered pho. My wife had the vegetarian (HU TIEU CHAY), which she thought was the best she's ever had. I had seafood and pork over rice noodles (HU TIEU MEM), which was also really well prepared. We arrived at around 6pm on a Saturday and although the place was packed, we were able to land a table right away. The serving staff was busy, but attentive. Prices were very reasonable. We'll definitely be back soon.

    Service was friendly and the pricing is fair but the food is just ok. We ordered the bun bo hue and pho. Bun bo hue was overwhelmingly spicy which detracted from the beefy, lemongrass broth. The pho's broth lacked a fatty richness and was over salted. As a Vietnamese-Canadian who likes to eat spicy, meh.

    (2)
  • Jessica S.

    My first Vietnamese food experience. I know pho is all the rage, but I never have soup cravings so opted for one of the vermicelli "salads." By vermicelli salad, they mean a bath tub-sized bowl of spaghetti-like noodles (but thinner, lighter than spaghetti). The noodles are topped with an assortment of veggies (crunchy sprouts, shredded carrots and lettuce, cilantro, mint, and possibly some other goodies that I don't clearly remember) along with crushed peanuts. The so-called salad is accompanied by a cup of broth (fish-based? chicken-based?) to drown your noodles in. I got the vegetarian version (if you are strict about vegetarianism, I'd double check what's in the broth) that came with plentiful tofu and mock dock. Mock dock sound funky but I enjoyed it--darker, more dense (but not as dense as real meat), and more flavorful than plain old tofu. This dish was good and I would order again if I returned to Quang, but I wish the noodle to topping ratio was more balanced. However, I visited Pho Tau Bay a few nights later, ordered the same dish, and was somewhat more impressed with Pho Tau Bay's version. We also split the veggie spring rolls. These were disappointingly lame minus the peanut sauce. I didn't like how the main contents of the rolls were vermicelli noodles. They need to pack with more tasty veggies. Quang was packed on a weeknight, but we got seated very quickly. Service was friendly and the food arrived quickly enough. There is nothing standout about the atmosphere here, which is totally okay. Prices are awesome--cheap eats, no doubt. At the same time, my meal was hardly more than a whopping bowl of noodles with accouterments, so I'd not be a happy camper if I was paying anything more than $8. Overall, my Quang experience was simply average. You'll probably not be wholly disappointed if you eat here, but I'd venture to say there are a few better options on Eat Street.

    A group of four of us went here for lunch one day - one of the group had never tried Pho Ga before and after my raving about it - wanted to try it. Place was packed when we arrived for lunch on a Thursday, It was cold and blustery out - perfect Pho weather. I ordered the Spring rolls (not fried) and a bowl of Pho Ga. When the soup came out, I was surprised to see something floating in the broth that I had never seen before - two small white orbs that looked like eggs. Turns out they were quail eggs. *shrug* Okay, I'll try anything once. For me, the flavor of the Quail eggs did not enhance the Pho experience - I felt like the flavor was at odds with the rest of the Pho. The eggs were hardcooked on the outside - yet the yolks were still partially in liquid form. The rest of the soup, however - was excellent! The white chicken meat was plentiful and tender - not overcooked. The broth was outstanding. I slurped down a good bit of it before I spiced it up with some Sriracha sauce. Service was fast and attentive. If you are ever in Minneapolis and you crave Pho - check this place out!

    Why oh Why did I wait so long to try this place? I have been on a search for a consistent go-to Vietnamese restaurant for about a year now. I have tried several in St. Paul along Pho alley (University Avenue) as well as a few in Minneapolis and none even come close to Quang. I have been here three times and each time, the service and food have been spot-on. The spring rolls, egg rolls, and Beef vermicelli salad with perfectly seasoned tender strips of beef and fish sauce so yummy you'll want to pick up the cup and drink it are my fave eats here. Friends have had a grilled shrimp dish with broken noodles and caramelized shrimp and have been very happy with those dishes as well. Everything here looks so good and I see many large big bowls of Pho coming out of the kitchen so I might have to try Pho for the first time on my next visit. The ingredients are so fresh, the service is great, and the prices so reasonable, I have finally found my place!

    I have been going to this restaurant for YEARS! Since I was a child. I LOVE the food. I always order the Seafood pho. (One male waiter said we don't have and never had Seafood pho!) Spring rolls & the Crunchy Spring Roll. BUT the owners are HORRIBLE people! The female who is usually behind the counter has such a horrible attitude! Very nasty like she does NOT want to be there. She is usually on her iPhone constantly texting. There are people in line waiting for her to get off her phone to pay for our orders. Whoever is answering the business phone has ZERO manners. No "HI" or "Goodbye" or even "Thank You". They really need a swift kick to the face sometimes, ok... most of the time. If the food wasn't so tasty, I would NOT eat here. I am waiting on for a better Vietnamese place to dine at & will NEVER eat here again. Until then, I just gotta put up with the HORRIBLE management.

    Quang has got to be my favorite restaurant in the TC. I have never had a bad experience there and the food is so damn good! The soups (508 is my fave), the platters (410 for me), and the appetizers (all the spring rolls are awesome), really the whole menu is great. Never gotten a cold dish, never had to wait too long, never had anyone be rude to me, and they just started making and selling these big yummy chocolate chip cookies that perfectly satisfy my sweet tooth. I've been going to Quang since 2006 at least twice a month, and have never been disappointed, I highly recommend it!

    QUANG MAN! I wandered into Quang a couple years ago to try this mystical food called PHO. I was immediately hooked. I have tried PHO at a few other places, but they do not COMPARE to Quang. Especially on a cold Minnesota day! I went back again recently and was still highly impressed. The staff is extremely nice and curteous while they bring you the best, tastiest, tummy-warming food around. Their spring rolls are BOMB MONEY. The Pho Thap Cam is my favorite, but I recently tried the Seafood and Pork pho -- AMAZING! If you're looking for a warm, affordable, amazing meal.. check out Quang. You won't be disappointed! Suddenly craving pho again....

    With 230 reviews I suppose there isn't much more to say than Hot Damn The Pho Here Is Good! I'd put it in the top 3 places in the entire TC. Eating a bowl of Pho here leaves your stomach full and happy. My only complaint is they could throw a little more green into the soup but its not a big deal. Spring rolls were the bomb too. My normally eat-like-a-bird gf roared like a lion and was looking fierce when I tried to snag the last piece. So she got three and I got one, the lioness prevails. Next time I come here I might just get an extra order of spring rolls for takeout. hehe. Oh yes, there will be a next time., even with that parking mess. lol

    Quang, how I want to love you. You're just like the pretty girls from high school. You appear to have the entire package, but fail to deliver on the goods. If Quang's food was bad, there would be no way they would have stayed open the past 22 years. The food's tastes themselves are not the problem. Quang's issue is branding themselves as authentic Vietnamese food, whereas their authenticity is questionable. Take, for instance, the bun salad, the litmus test of any Vietnamese restaurant worth its salt. While the salad is tasty, the nuoc cham is startlingly sweet, and the absence of daikon radish diminishes its authenticity. The bun portion of the menu is lacking, with only eight or so offerings, compared to the 12-15 at traditional Vietnamese restaurants. Quang also serves many non-traditional dishes, dishes commonly found on Chinese-American menus. While most Asian restaurants do this, Quang devotes a surprising two pages of their menu to these dishes. For a restaurant claiming to be authentic, this raises a red flag. That aside, I would happily return to Quang. I just accept it for what it is - relatively tasty Vietnamese food that's in the middle of the authenticity continuum.

    There are a bunch of Vietnamese places on Nicollet and we were so glad we chose this one. We had to wait for around 20 minutes to get a table - which was usually a good sign that the place is so crowded. Try the chicken spring rolls - fantastic combination of flavors, you can taste the mint in the roll and it is not fried which makes it even better. Terrific starters (fried pork spring rolls, chicken spring rolls which were not fried - DELICIOUS, jumbo shrimp battered and fried - all of them were just great) I had the seared salmon which was fantastic and all my buddies were completely satisfied with their food also. They have great sandwiches and freshly baked stuff at the counter. GREAT prices and EVEN better food.

    Awesome food, awesome prices. Don't go for the ambiance, this place is packed and there are often too many children. But the food rocks so it's worth it.

    This place will make you truly understand what the fuss about pho is. A meal in a bowl. Be sure to toss some of the basil in (and some jalapeños if you can stand it). Banh Mi is also fantastic. I always get the grilled pork despite having to wait a bit for it.

    This place is always packed! In fact I've never ever bothered trying to get a seat in the restaurant because it's just too crowded and gives me a headache. The hostess isn't there sometimes, so some oblivious people will bud in front of you, so if you really want a seat and don't want to wait even longer while someone else that came after you gets seated first, make sure you claim your spot in line! It's an animal house in there! The only thing I do at Quang is order the banh-mi sandwich and I even ordered take home Pho before too. It's WAY quicker ordering TO GO than trying to wait in line for a table. They're on top of the TO GO orders, so no problems there. I've only had the banh mi sandwich and Pho before, and I loved both! The Pho was really delicious, and is the closest thing to authentic Pho I've seen. Fair warning, the Pho is a huge bowl. I was only half way through eating and became full. They're definitely cooking for Asian people's taste, without any sugarcoating to appeal to white people's taste. You'll see the place swarmed by Asians. It's rare to find Asian costumers at any Minnesotan establishment, so that says something.

    Ah, Quang. I haven't lived in Minneapolis for over a year, but I'm still dreaming about the weekend bass pho special. I've yet to find its equal (then again, I live in Columbus, OH).

    Beware of going here if you at all value customer service or like to be treated like someone they appreciate. I've been there mutiple times and I can say from experience that I will not be going back and will spread the good word and let as many people know that there are better places to go. There are much better restaurants that you can go to with food that is just as good if not better. More specifically I will mention Pho Tau Bay which is literally just down the street. The people there are more friendly and traditional. There is also Tae Ho in St. Paul, MN. But back to the story. Let me elaborate. Granted there are a few people who work at Quang that are friendly and deserve the tips they get. But, then you also have more specifically two regular employees in particular (sisters I think) that have been there for a long time. One of them works as a host to seat the guests and the other is always on the register to take your money when you leave. Oh yes. They know who they are. What they are is bunch of disrespectful snotty stuck-up bitches who need to get over themselves and realize that they are not attractive and are not God's gift. I don't go there for the woman anyways but there is no excuse for their poor excuse of customer service or lack thereof. My server was nice and did a decent job of helping us. I was feeling good and went up to pay for my food when that whole experience was ruined by the snotty bitch at the register. Unless you are Vietnamese or Asian, don't expect to be treated like a customer, let alone a human being. Busy or not there is NO excuse for her terrible customer skills. If you don't like your job, then quit. If you don't like white/American people, then go back to Vietnam. She waited there impatiently for me to pay for my food, glaring at me with her racist/prejudice look like I killed a member of her family. I definitely get the impression that there are some racist people that work there. Such a shame to see what a lack of good parental upbringing/influence with good traditional values and too much pop culture/materialism turns people like her into. A uppity and ignorant bitch who lives a spoiled/pampered life and thinks they don't have to treat anyone with respect. She and her sister set a terrible example for their restaurant and their culture. I guess the people at Quang think that because they get customers to pay for their food that can justifiably treat their customers like shit. All I can say is karma is a bitch. Now, would you really want to eat at a place such as this and have to deal with garbage like that? I didn't think so. See you at Pho Tau Bay and continue to spread the bad reviews about this place from your own experience.

    The food is great, yet the the service is bad. The first time I came here I was pleased with my service, however the second time I came here. It was on my anniversary (June 23rd), and I got a horrible waitress. My wife and I waited longer than other customers who were seated after us and yet they received their orders well ahead of us. The customers seated next to us even noticed this and told me to complain to the owner. Our order took more than 20 minutes to be served to us while others waited less than 10 minutes. I haven't been back since, because this is a grave insult especially on our anniversary.
