Description

Quang owner, chef, and mastermind Mrs. Truong has done more to introduce real Vietnamese cooking to Twin Citizens than anyone in town. When she opened her deli in a closet of a Nicollet Avenue space in 1989, she dazzled those willing to venture with big bowls of soup or bun (pronounced "boon") noodles topped with fresh herbs and barbecued pork, mock duck, even kebabs of ground shrimp molded around fresh sugar-cane skewers. Now that she's moved the restaurant to a vast, bright space across the street, devotees and neophytes alike are stacked five deep, clamoring for more of the cheap, tasty treats with the lime and cilantro inflections: More beef-curry stews (banh mi bo kho)! More pork chops on rice (com tam thit nuong)! More!

  • 2009 | Best Vietnamese Restaurant

    Walk into Quang, even at 3:30 on a Sunday afternoon, and the place will be bumping. The family-run Eat Street restaurant is a consistent hive of activity, and deservedly so. Quang is an institution, started by the Quang family in a smaller location across the street and eventually moved to their current, sizeable site. These folks know how to run a business: Despite the throngs, lines diminish quickly, and the needs of both dine-in and carry-out customers are met smoothly and efficiently.... More »

  • 2009 | Best Place To Eat Out With Your Kids

    Guest Best: Stewart Woodman When a family dines out as a team, simplicity is essential. Here are foolproof instructions for feeding your clan by the most direct route possible. First, go to Quang. Order a strawberry bubble tea for each child, a pho (number 506 is preferred) to split, no onions or "green stuff," with small bowls for each child and a glass of water. When your food arrives, which will be in about 40 seconds (speed is a key element to dining with children),... More »

  • 2003 | BEST VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT

    There are a lot of tasty Vietnamese dining spots around town (and certainly Quang, which shares an "Eat Street" address with this year's winner, deserves a mention), but there's something about the hole-in-the-wall Jasmine Deli that gives it the edge in this competitive category. Packed during the lunch hour with MCAD students, Minneapolis Institute of Arts staffers, and downtown denizens escaping skyway fare, this joint jumps--thanks to a hard-working (if sometimes overwhelmed) crew....

  • 2001 | BEST VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT

    As Morrissey sang, we hate it when our friend become successful. "What," we start to wonder, "are they too good for us now" If your friend is a restaurant, you're bound to feel the same proprietary interest. Take the case of Quang. The success of this Minneapolis perennial--they recently moved into larger, brighter digs across the street from their former home--tracks with the renaissance of Nicollet Avenue's "Eat Street." The secret of Quang's unassuming excellence is undoubtedly out; on... More »

  • 2000 | BEST CHEAP EATS

    Three-dollar falafel at Sahib's. Vietnamese hoagies at Quang for $1.75. Pork buns for two bucks at Trieu Chau. Five dollars for an entire Mexican meal at Tacos Morelos, El Mariachi, and Los Gallos. The same price for Vietnamese noodle feasts at Pho Tau Bay, Phuong Cafe, Vientiane, and the aforementioned Quang. If you can't buy somebody lunch along this stretch of "Eat Street" for less than the price of a paperback book, we want to know where you're buying your paperbacks. More »

  • 2000 | BEST VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT

    There's nothing but the freshest, zippiest, quickest, most goshdarn appealing food at Quang. Maybe, in fact, just a little too appealing: Our last visit found us reeling from a thick and delicious curry stew, then suddenly whipping out our calculator to try and figure out whether it made economic sense to sell the refrigerator, stove, and sundry appliances in hopes of eating nothing but Quang, forevermore. Do the math yourself--if you just stuck to the five- and six-dollar soups and bowls... More »

    When I move - this is one I will miss. If you have a guest in town - this is where you take them! It’s about the food - not the people!
