I came here to get a quick and casual lunch while working in the area. Service was very friendly and attentive. I got the 8.50 combo meal with beef and broccoli, fried rice, and an egg roll. My food was hot and flavorful, and came out quickly. The portion was large enough to give me a filling lunch plus leftovers. Despite not being super busy, it seemed to be a popular place with some regulars who staff knew by name. I'll definitely be coming back soon, and I am excited to try a dessert next time when I'm not in a hurry.

This place is amazing! I put in a large order for my office and within 30 minutes it was really for pick up. Everything we ordered was included and the service staff were great. They also have convenient parking right off of University ave. If you're looking for lunch I totally recommend Tay Ho

We ordered the Bun Bo Hue, chicken fried rice, chicken wings (perfect crunch), bahn mi, and beef with lemon grass. Everything was absolutely delicious! Very high-quality flavors and portion was just right. We came on a weekday lunchtime and it was not busy. The service was good and super fast. Got our food in less than 5 minutes.

Great pho broth. Great vegetarian broth. Generous portion of fixings. Good egg rolls. The restaurant is a classic little hole in the wall Vietnamese place so set your expectations for dated diner decor but come for the food.

Best Vietnamese food in my opinion in St Paul. For sure I will be back. It’s what some people would call a “dive” but I’m here for the food. Not for a photo shoot. Pic is the Mike’s rice platter special. Chinese sausage is like sweeter chorizo. My go to is usually either pho or vermicelli salads but a lot of people have probably commented on those dishes. Will try next time I am in the area.

Just had take out from here and wow! I’m a new fan. The take out pho was meticulously put together so that it could be assembled at home for the freshest experience. Then the special noodle salad was excellent as well. They are very generous with portions. Tremendous value and delicious. Can’t wait to dine in or order take out again soon.
