Pham's Rice Bowl

Ever since visiting Midtown Global Market for the past 10-11 years, I have given Pham's Deli a few times of trying and I am sad to say that if the food here was decent in the previous years, then the quality had decreased dramatically. What I would have perceived as a 3 can now only be satisfied with a 2 rating, especially after my experience here two weeks ago.Previously I have ordered bahn mi, pho, etc. from them, and those are probably the two dishes that I can still order from them and be okay with it. Their bubble tea was clearly made from powder and tasted very artificial with no soul, especially nowadays that the world is catching up on providing quality bubble tea, the bubble tea here still tasted like it was trying to fool the Americans. Two weeks ago when my partner and I were here, my partner ordered some dumplings from them and I took a bite. I have almost never had to had my partner finish her food after just one bite, and those dumplings did so, unfortunately. They looked sloppy and tasted like water, to the point that I decided to not take a photo at all.Overall I think there are way better Vietnamese food places elsewhere in the Twin Cities, but if one is in the Midtown Global Market and craves Vietnamese food, then sure I would still say yes to giving Pham's Deli a shot, ordering the right things.

Stopped into the global market to eat at Pham's rice bowl on a Monday afternoon, which is the best time to come to this side of town. Cheap parking lot ($2 for 90 minutes) and central to many other eateries, bakeries and grocery shops. I ordered the beef lo mein while my bf ordered the Kung Pao Chicken. The lo Mein was good although a bit basic. I added two packets of soy sauce for a tad more flavor. I should have tried something more out of my comfort zone like the Kung pao chicken (spice level hot) that my bf ordered because the flavors were spot on! The peanuts, green peppers and carrots complimented the chicken well. We shared some steamed dumplings although I am not too impressed with them. They tasted bland and the soy sauce that came with it did not help. However all food items came out hot and fresh! The wait time wasn't too bad considering we took a lap around the Global Market to admire the rest of the small pop up shops they had to offer. And the pricing was not bad at all. We will definitely be returning to explore the rest of the menu!

I love Pham's Rice Bowl! I've visited this stall quite a few times. It's located in the middle of the Midtown Global Market along the major dining space. The team here is really friendly and it's always a good service experience!I've tried a lot of menu items like Banh Mi, pho, and their boba! All of it is pretty good and I'll be continuing to get food here!

Located in Midtown Global, Pham's is a spot where you are going to get a MASSIVE amount of food for a VERY low price. My friend and I went to sample a number of things, so I'll describe each below.Shrimp Spring Rolls- Monster size/value and you get 2 for $4.50. Not a TON of shrimp in there, but they were still super good. 5/5 for combination of taste and value.Beef Banh Mi- Again, massive in portion. The sandwich itself was a tad mediocre, with really nice bread and a massive amount of toppings. Would probably get it again. 4/5.Lemongrass Chicken (got super spicy option)- OUTSTANDING. Really nice spice level that is not for the faint of heart. The sauce that they put on it was outstanding and they gave you a really nice portion of chicken. This was the standout of our meal and had great value ($8) to go along with exceptional taste. 5/5. Szechuan Chicken (got very spicy option)- This was a bit underwhelming. I'd say it was certainly user error by us for ordering from a Vietnamese spot. Massive amount of veggies and not a ton of meat. I'd say 2/5 and if you are thinking of getting this dish, go to an actual Sichuan spot.Overall, it is super SoIid spot in my neighborhood that I wiII be returning to!

Decent veggie noodle salad bowl - not the worst, not the greatest. Noodles were a little slimy for my liking. I would have preferred far more veggie toppings (menu lists crisp lettuce, fresh cucumber, carrots, and crushed peanuts) compared to the massive amount of noodles. The veggie egg roll had a nice, crispy shell, but was quite greasy. For $10, I had higher hopes. Best part was my fortune.

Hands down the BEST Egg rolls I have ever had!!Love the fish sauce and pork or chicken fried rice!!! Great food for groups/parties/luncheons!

It was alright because the beef was alright n the other ingredients, the bread small so it's kinda messy to eat

We used Pham's Rice Bowl for catering our business meeting. It was great! The food was hot, very delicious, and the service was excellent. The owner was very responsive, on time, and very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. The spring rolls are wonderful. So fresh! The cream cheese wontons were crunch and filled just the right amount of cream cheese.They provided serving spoons and tongs along with the plates/napkins/silverware, that were sturdy and didn't break upon lifting the hearty chicken w/vegetables or digging into the white and fried rice.They catered a great lunch!! Very pleased! Thank you Pham's Rice Bowl. Definitely coming back!!

Went there yesterday to grabbed dinner. first time there, order chicken fried rice and beef pad Thai. Waited 10 minutes. Food tasted amazing.

Great food - even BETTER service. I've had pho before, didn't really know what to order so they suggested it and walked me through how to tweak it to my liking. Simple dish, fantastic taste, even better service. BIG portions too.
