Phongsavan Market Place — Local services in Milwaukee

2025 Stop! The food restaurant is a new owner. The new owners… need some work. No whole chicken which was their prime sale item. It was not pho. It was the whole chicken. No longer available. Sorry. You need to buy from Pho 414 at Hmong Town which is about 10 min from here.

FYI, this place just lost one star because the food restaurant moved. The only thing saving them is the Papaya.

2024 Known as 5Xen Market. Aka Phongsavan Market Place

After coming here a lot of times, i can say the half or whole oven baked chicken is TOP. Yes. It's very good. Get the fresh chicken in the morning. I'm talking about "WS’ BBQ & GRILL".

Traveling from MI, we always drop by this place. I always have to get my Chicken. Everything else is OK. The pho? I'm afraid to touch the pho since this place is hmong owned.

"My Bubble Tea"? What can I say, I don't buy bubble from them. why? They make some crazy Papaya. Yes. Papaya!!! Excellent! It's so good, it rivals MN Papaya. Wow. I said it. Better than MN papaya. For now, this place has the best Papaya in WI/MN.

Highly...

This unassuming pair of warehouses are simple and utilitarian inside and out, but what they contain is great. This might be my new favorite place for pho: the one I tried had tripe and tendon. One building is dedicated solely to food and the other has a food court and market with stalls selling all kinds of wonders.

The food building had a range of fresh produce like lemongrass and jackfruit, and a packaged section with frozen meats, drinks, snacks, as well as seasonings and other staples.

The new building contains meeting rooms, a small food court, and the market with stalls selling a variety of wares. You can buy traditional Hmong embroidered items, jewelry, as well as cosmetics and toiletries. I also spotted a place to get DVDshere's a parking lot behind the "old building" but lots of people...

I've been coming here to support the local community for a while but as of late, not sure if it's COVID related, but not much food vendors left here and additionally, it seems like this building has a long history of numerous projects advertised but never complete (parking structures, upgrades, etc.). I wish the owners and all the vendors the best of luck. It would be good to have a place here in Milwaukee that could mimic similar shopping / dining experience as in the St. Paul, MN area. Definitely not a fair comparison by any measure at this point but a great start. Don't give up, we need strong Hmong businesses in...
