Minneapolis–St. Paul, MNVietnamese

Mpls.St.Paul Magazine's Eat Street tour describes Quang through steaming pho, spring rolls, steamed buns and grilled chicken, a range that explains the restaurant's lasting pull beyond one signature bowl. The Nicollet Avenue dining room remains busy and direct, with a large menu grounded in Vietnamese family cooking and decades on the corridor.

Pho Tau Bay keeps its focus on piping hot bowls of pho, the specialty emphasized by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine's Eat Street guide. House jerkies and other Vietnamese dishes broaden the meal without distracting from the broth. The Nicollet Avenue address places the restaurant within easy walking distance of several peers while preserving its own loyal following.

Pho 79 & Caravelle offers an unusually broad soup section, with Mpls.St.Paul Magazine noting roughly fifty meal sized bowls anchored by the Special Pho 79. The composite name is the business's current first party header, even though some contact copy reverses it. This exact Nicollet Avenue address helps Google resolve the intended longstanding restaurant.

Mpls.St.Paul Magazine includes My Huong Kitchen in its Eat Street dining tour, identifying the small Nicollet Avenue restaurant within the corridor's Vietnamese community. The menu moves through pho, noodle salads, rice plates and other home style preparations. Its compact room and exact address distinguish the independent kitchen from similarly named restaurants outside Minnesota.

Hai Hai draws on chef Christina Nguyen's Vietnamese heritage and the wider street food traditions of Southeast Asia. Mpls.St.Paul Magazine's substantive feature explains how bright herbs, fermented flavors and contrasting textures shape the menu. The lively Northeast room occupies a former strip club, but the reporting keeps attention on the cooking rather than the building's novelty.
