Minneapolis Foodie | Quang Restaurant π So many PHO options!
On a whim, I headed to the city's much - recommended Quang Restaurant. Just a quick glance at the menu revealed a densely packed list of dishes ππΈ The restaurant is spacious, and the variety of dishes is impressive. The average cost per person is around $10 - $20. There's a free parking lot right in front, and across the street is a Chinese grocery store. π I ordered the 504 PHO TAI BO VIEN πππ To be honest, I was a bit disappointed. It felt like a standard - level pho. ππΈ The blanched raw beef was slightly fishy, but the beef balls were delightfully chewy and had a slight burst of juice when bitten into. The combination with fresh bean sprouts, perilla leaves, and basil made for a rich texture. ππΈ I could accept all these elements, but since the other ingredients were chopped up, it was hard to identify them. There was one green leaf that tasted like detergent, which was really odd in the soup. π My teammate ordered the 511 BUN BO HUE ππππ I thought it was better than mine. It's like a domestic version of braised beef noodle soup. There's plenty of beef and a piece of pig's trotter in it. ππΈ Checking Google reviews, I found that the portion size has decreased compared to pre - pandemic times, but it's understandable. The soup base is beef broth with a touch of sour and spicy. Caution for those who don't eat spicy foodβοΈ ππΈ 2719 Nicollet Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55408 #Minnesota #MinneapolisFoodie #MinnesotaCuisine π
