Little Asia Cafe

This restaurant holds many fond childhood memories for me and I was surprised to learn that it was originally known as Destiny Cafe. I enjoyed a wonderful lunch with my mom, where the food was excellent and the service was quick. I ordered the papaya salad, thankfully they don't use peanuts in any of their dishes, along with purple sticky rice, pork belly, Lao sausages and eggrolls. Each bite brought back nostalgic memories and my cravings were satisfied.

Highlights:*Hmong cuisine *Good-size portions*No frills ambiance, no problem I'm not super familiar with Hmong cuisine, though it was interesting to try. Food:Hmong sausage Beef slices stir fry with pakanaPurple rice There was aot of food with the Hmong sausage. While there was a lot of food total, there wasn't a lot of beef slices in the Beef Slices Stir Fry with Pakana. I was hoping for the ong choy but they had run out. Google Maps and Yelp listed the type of food as Laotian, though when I asked the staff they said Hmong was more accurate. Because of the labeling issue, I'm not sure how many other Hmong restaurants are in the area. Though this was easy to get to, seemed family-owned/operated and a decent value.Parking Plenty of parking since it's a shared lot.Ambiance There are two TVs though neither were showing anything on a Wednesday around 6.

The food was phenomenal! It all tasted very well put together, and the spice of each dish was amazing. I'd say Little Asia is definitely a great place to authentic Hmong style cooking food. Service was a little iffy as in slow, but it was not too much of a big deal. I just hope it isn't as slow when they're super busy Pork Belly was crispy and juicy Beef brisket was the STAR Sticky rice, could've been better. Some of it was a little harder in texture like the outer layer RAW beef laab was good and herb-yKapoon Kua Tshia- tasted well, but we expected more from it as in flavor and meat provided

A hidden gem! One of my favorites around the twin cities area. The food is so good, so fresh, and so flavorful! They give you a TON so you can easily share but we always get our own so we have leftovers. The egg rolls are yummy. A bit small but very very reasonably priced. (2 for $3.50, so you can get a few orders if you like!). Their fried rice is massive and super delicious. Most flavorful fried rice in the area if you ask me! I did the chicken that's similar to orange chicken but has a kick. It's breaded and I was nice and crisp!We've already talked about how we're coming back this week! Note that they are closed on Fridays.

It's been a couple years since I ate here. I used to love the pho broth but it doesn't taste the same anymore. However, their other menu items are still pretty good. I love that they can accommodate parties. The atmosphere is pretty clean and the staff are friendly and always checking in on us.

Staff were friendly during our time there. My noodles were still a bit hard and not cooked fully so it was kind of hard to chew but broth is still good. Food came out about a good amount of time so it wasn't too bad.

Good music, good food and good amount of seat selections. Cannot go wrong with rice dishes or soup. Though the pho is really bland expect other dishes to try. Food portion is just right at least feeding 2 people per plate. Service for seating is usually quick, unless full capacity. Food is promptly brought out.Definitely recommend visiting if it is your first time, or 50th time.

This is my go to spot for Hmong Food to restore my soul. LOL. I ALWAYS get the Combo Fried Rice, Beef Brisket, Roast Pork, and Pork Hli Xia. Not to mention that their homemade pepper is the BEST pairing to these dishes. Has such a good kick and I always ask for extra pepper on the side for my order. This is a bittersweet spot for me because my Mom, who is now in heaven, only enjoyed food from this restaurant. Hope this spot continues to do well in business because I'll always support!

This is the first time for me here. Been eating pho in MN for years and never can find a good place.A little dirty. Need to be quicker on the cleaning.The pho was good. Glass bowl says "extra large bowl here". My father said this place has been going down hill since it first opened years ago. New owners, etc. the original owners gave raw meat which is custom and good. Today, none.The broth was on point but everything else was not. Not enough veg for the pho. Meatballs were very small. Pho back home in Michigan is 1000% better.Recommend because the pho flavor was still good. Still better pho than Hmong village

The food was absolutely delicious. Every time I have come in I'm always greeted in a timely manner and the food is always speedy!
