Minneapolis' Pho Quan Restaurant on Nicollet Avenue - Homely Decor, Outstanding Food!

I discovered Pho Quan Restaurant in Minneapolis, located at 1815 Nicollet Avenue, some years ago. It's still there, still homely, and still one of the best places to grab lunch in the Twin Cities.

Don't look for charming ambiance, clean tables or cute southeast Asian decor. You won't find it at Pho Quan. But the Vietnamese noodle soup is the best anywhere.

The place is frequented by some of my musician friends from the Minnesota Orchestra, including colleagues Robert Anderson (bass) and Taichi Chen (violin). Pho Quan was recently rated among the "25 Great Places to Eat" in the Twin Cities by TwinCities.com and other food sites have followed suit.

Choose from vegetable, beef, chicken or shrimp bowls, available in three sizes. The price is astonishing and the Pho is unquestionably tasty!

Eric - Pho Quan sounds like a great place to dine. Some of the casual places offer the best food, and being around for years is testimony to their success.

Hi Eric, So great to hear about your local favorites. It looks like you have been gone from AR for a bit as well. I'm glad to see you are back and look forward to reading your insightful posts in the future!

Eric: Nothing like a good restaurant! It's a great localism subject. I've done good and bad reviews on restaurants. I guess you have to have an ultra positive or ultra negative experience to get noticed.

Sounds great Eric, and it's nice to see you. Haven't seen you around here in a while!

Hi Eric,

Did you post this on Yelp?

Eric, So good to see you back here in AR world. 8~)

I love to find restaurants like the Pho Quan you describe.

For me, it is all about the food anyway. I'll sit almost anywhere for good eats!

I will have to go check it out! I am always up for a new spot! I had a friend who made a great authentic Pho. I was always trying to pronounce it and he would just laugh at me!

Jeff, I discovered this place while looking to grab a quick lunch between rehearsals at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, and I've been going back regularly ever since!

Diane, the "quiet time" around the holidays has given me an oppportunity to do some writing again..it feels good!

Chris Ann, I usually don't bother to review a restaurant unless I find something nice to say about it! :)

Chris Fisher -- It's good to be back!
