Quang Restaurant, Vietnamese restaurant in Minneapolis, US
Quang Restaurant is a Vietnamese restaurant on Nicollet Avenue in south Minneapolis, known across the city for its wide menu of traditional dishes. The menu centers on pho in several versions, alongside spring rolls, banh mi, and a range of other soups and noodle plates.
The restaurant was founded in the 1970s by a Vietnamese family that had settled in Minnesota, making it one of the first of its kind in the region. Over the following decades it became a reference point for the growing Vietnamese community in Minneapolis.
Quang Restaurant sits in south Minneapolis in a neighborhood long shaped by Vietnamese immigrants, and the dining room reflects that everyday reality. Tables fill with families, older regulars, and newcomers sharing bowls of soup in a setting that feels more local than touristic.
The restaurant sits on Nicollet Avenue in south Minneapolis, in a stretch sometimes called Little Mekong, and is easy to reach on foot or by bus. Waits can be longer during weekend lunch hours, so arriving early or at off-peak times makes the visit smoother.
The broth for the pho is made fresh each day and is not stored frozen or pre-cooked in batches, which is far from standard practice in restaurant kitchens. This daily effort is what regulars often point to when explaining why the soup tastes the same no matter when they visit.
