This has always been a great restaurant. I’ve been struggling recently with finding a good pho spot, but Pho 79 hit the mark! It was insanely good, flavor was phenomenal. I also got egg rolls, noodle salad with pork and shrimp, and an avocado smoothie with boba. Everything was truly amazing. Thank you!
Stopped in here before a show at Icehouse! No wait, quiet and quaint on a Wednesday night. My partner and I shared veggie egg rolls, lemongrass chicken, and taro bubble tea. Lemongrass chicken was our fave we’ve had in twin cities. Will definitely be back!
I had been here many years ago and wanted to try it again. It was so disappointing. We had the Pork/ Vegetarian Egg Rolls. They were not good. We had the fish sauce and the sweet and sour sauce with them; for sure none of it was worth ordering again. I had the Pho Tai Chin with the spicy Hue. The heat was ok, but again nothing special; the brisket was a bit tough. My wife had the Pho Ga (Chicken) with chicken broth. Her chicken was so tough, it couldn’t be chewed. I ended up spitting it out. It may be that going there at 1 PM is a bit late as the meat needs to be cooked in the broth to flavor it. I asked the server about it and his response was “thanks for telling me” we won’t go back.
Underrated, hidden gem for pho lovers. Great food and great service. Very friendly, attentive, welcoming people. I have never had to wait to be seated, food always comes out very quickly. My most frequented pho spot in the city, been back many times and the quality and flavor always leaves me wishing I had ordered more. Recently went on a Saturday at 6:30 and it was virtually empty, quite shocking because it’s so good. They deserve more customers! Huge portions at really good prices. Dinner for 2 + plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day for under $20. (Basically unheard of in this economy! You can’t even get that at McDonald’s these days) Pad Thai, sesame chicken, pork egg rolls and of course the Pho are some of my favorites. Great spot for a budget date night or lunch with friends. Highly recommend paying a visit. Located conveniently near many cute shops and a short walk from the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
We visited MN and found a social media channel that spoke highly of Pho79. I travel frequently and have tasted many pho dishes in different regions of the US. The broth is good, but the contents and quantities vary among the four pho bowls …
