Southeast Asian in Minneapolis from Christina Nguyen, 2024 James Beard Best Chef: Midwest. A handful of dishes are printed vegan, from Balinese cauliflower to mango che.

What to Order

Balinese Cauliflower
Kale and bean sprouts in infused coconut cream with Thai chili sambal, fried shallots, and lime leaf. Printed vegan and gluten-free; the menu flags it spicy.
Banh Xeo, shiitake and sweet corn
Crispy turmeric and coconut milk rice flour crepe, served with lettuce and herbs for wrapping. The shiitake and sweet corn filling is the one printed vegan - the menu doesn't say which nuoc cham comes with it, so make sure it's the vegan one.
Mango "Sticky Rice" Che
Fresh mango, tapioca, salted coconut cream, coconut-pandan and mango jellies, crispy mung bean. Printed vegan and gluten-free.

Good to Know

  • Happy hour (Sun and Tue-Thu, 4-5:30pm) adds a Thai-style Viet crepe "salad" - the crepe broken up with bean sprouts, cucumber, onion, and Thai chili in vegan nuoc cham, printed vegan.
  • Spring rolls and Hanoi sticky rice are vegan only with mock duck on request, and the fried tofu only without its green sauce. The dishes above need no changes.
Accuracy is the whole point of MNveg. If a detail here is off - hours, menu, a closure - send a correction and it gets fixed.
