Hmongtown Marketplace

I've found the best salmon laab in the Twin Cities! For those unfamiliar, salmon laab is a raw dish packed with Southeast Asian spices, resembling traditional Laotian flavors. This one, however, is made by a Hmong family--and it's absolutely incredible.The balance of lemon juice and pepper is just perfect, creating a flavor that pairs beautifully with either sticky rice or white rice. It's so good that I keep coming back for more!The family is super nice and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I regret not getting their names because I've ordered from them so many times. If you're a fan of bold, authentic flavors, this is a must-try

Went with my boo to visit the Buddhist temple outside Lakeville and it was closed but was beautiful to see it with freshly fallen snow. We decided to head up to Hmongtown Marketplace. Was very excited to try food there! I should have went to Hmoob Kitchen because everyone that ordered there had piping hot bowls of Pho. I was feeling kind of bad for the stall next door and ordered curry noodle and was sadly so disappointed. The how mushy the noodles were and the curry was bland. The broth was pretty cold so wasn't the greatest thing to eat. I don't want to name it bc a. I can't remember the name and b. It was that unappetizing. The bowl was $10 and I gave a $2 tip.While overall displeased with the choice I made but happy to support small biz that's minority owned

Perfect spot for all types of yummy traditional food!This spot is very similar to Hmong village but just smaller, I still think it's worth the visit and has its own unique vendors!Their food court has a variety of vendors selling different meals for cheap prices! The pho I purchased was around 7 dollars and I got egg rolls for 5! I also saw bubble teas for 5 dollars and under. Your money will def go far here! I ordered my food from the vendor from the far left of the food court towards the seating haul and it was delicious. The pho was so flavorful and the staff was so sweet.The marketplace offers everything you can think of! I really recommend visiting this spot to support small businesses in the hmong community! :)

This is a Hmong flew market only sells ethnic items of the Hmong people arranging from clothing, to plants and vegetables to herbal remedies. It might of been very hot in a hot day, however, the day we went was in the 80's. Otherwise, I can imagine it would be very hot inside without AC and outside as well. I had the best deal papaya dad here at the food stall! A $8 container of papaya was packed in a big styrofoam container. I asked for mild, but still, it was very spicy to me. Just FYI, it's highly recommended to specify how many chili you want instead of asking for mild, medium or spicy. I can probably only tolerate 1/2 or even 1/3 of a chili in there so called "mild"

Kinda compacted and wish there was more air circulation... kinda hot in the humid weather. Probably won't come back here but if there is a say for good veggies then I'll come back for that.Fb live has changed the way we buy things... shop while ur home... nothing vintage here

Fun place to check out! Definitely a run down Asian market feel - it's huge inside! Lots of clothes and Knick knacks for sale when you first come in, but keep making your way through and you'll hit the fresh grocery, and then finally the food court! We came in the middle of the week so some of the food court restaurants were closed. Most did sell the same basic things but once in a while you would get a special item in a stall. Our favorites were the coconut sesame ball at the very end and the crazy steak near it! The crazy steak is $25 (with a limit of 3 orders, which was what piqued my interest) but man it was good and a huge portion! You can also add sticky rice on the side, and a small was humongous!! The crazy steak is chargrilled to the temperature you want and doused in this addictive meaty sauce. Hmong sausage was salty but good with rice - had a nice snap and texture to it. The stuffed chicken wing was okay - stuffed with mushrooms and noodles (so tastes like a Chinese sticky rice at dim sum). Take a walk around and pay attention to the one-off items if you want more variety! We also got some mango with chili powder for $5 at the market.

This was my second time coming here. The first time my friend wanted to show me the food here. This time I requested we eat here again (2 years later- I live in CA). Without a doubt your sleeping on this place if you've never been. I'm in absolute love with the curry soup and the pork belly. Oh and the stuffed chicken wings. What I'm saying is throw a rock when you get to the food court. I don't think you can miss. Enjoy!

Pretty interesting place to dine! I enjoyed steamed Catfish wrapped in a banana leaf, egg rolls, and a Thai style papaya salad (they will also do Lao style which is heavier on the fish sauce). My kids loved many flavors of bubble tea milkshake. The real stand out was the Nava or Navam, about fifteen interesting colorful things mixed with sweet coconut milk. Mostly found in the west building. I would totally come back. I want to try chicken wings, fried pork belly, larb, and some of their spring rolls. Cheap, too. You'll fill up for under $20.

The marketplace is a hidden gem in St. Paul. There are plenty of vendors to get food and the Hmong sausage is definitely worth trying since it's delicious. There is also clothing and produce for sale. If I lived in the area, I would visit more often.

I love the pho and service at Naw-Maw kitchen. I have had a lot of pho but I must admit, this one is one is my top favorite. I highly recommend this place and the other vendors.
