Que Viet
2211 Johnson St NE
Minneapolis, MN 55418
Pros: Best egg rolls ever, large portions, some items make from scratch.
Cons: Service is not too experienced, fortune cookies are dumb, great with some things and mediocre in others.
Que Viet Village House is a great little restaurant in Northeast Minneapolis. It is, as far as I can tell, reasonably authentic Vietnamese food. Some of the items are homemade recipes and are made from scratch.
One of the most defining menu items are the egg rolls. They are homemade and perhaps some of the best fried egg rolls I’ve ever had. You get two for $4.25 and they are quite large. In addition, you get a dipping sauce that is the icing on the cake…or the dipping sauce on the egg roll to be more accurate.
The sweet and sour chicken is decent. The sauce is has a good balance, but doesn’t have a defining flavor. Each entrée is big enough to split if you order an appetizer, which is what Molly and I did.
You also get a nice portion of white rice in a separate bowl so you can mix it with the chicken or keep separate.
If you’re looking for a solid Vietnamese meal, this is a great place. It’s nestled in one of the best food communities in the state (Northeast Minneapolis) and adds a great Asian piece of the Northeast food puzzle. I would recommend it highly for groups or families who are OK with sharing a variety of dishes. In fact, that is probably be best way to enjoy Que Viet > Take a bunch of your friends and order a few different entrées and then you can really enjoy multiple dishes at one sitting.
Have you been to Que Viet Village House? What did you think?
Asian eating has always been an adventure for me…and I’ve never been disappointed.
It sounds like a great place to take your mother-in-law for her birthday!
My favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities.
