This restaurant is in the grocery store and they served amazing food..i had the chicken and shrimp Banh Xeo or the savoury pancake and it was huge and delicious! Highly recommend!
Arrived and got seated, me and my wife got forgotten. No water came and another group came after, they got their order first. Communication is a little off at this place. Ordered pho Thai tea, and spring rolls.Thai tea came pretty late into our meal. Spring rolls tastes really good and fresh. Pho was really good. Their chili oil is nice and spicy. Would come back but please work on communication a bit more. We did have a third girl who serviced us checked in multiple times which was nice.
My sister knows when I say I want pho this is where I want it from. I usually get the rare beef pho. The broth is so savory and delicious and they aren’t shy about the meat portions. The people working there are always so polite and nice. Hands down the best place I’ve been to in MN.
We've dined here many times and the food is consistently amazing. The setting is nothing fancy, the efforts and passion of the employees is clearly demonstrated in the food. The cuisine is authentic and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine That Feels Like Home
I recently visited this restaurant with a friend who is originally from Vietnam, and we were both blown away by the authenticity and quality of the food. We started off with the Vietnamese pancake (Bánh Xèo) and I had a Vietnamese sandwich. Every dish was a hit—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The service was top-notch, friendly, and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable.
We also ordered Hue Style Beef Soup (Bún Bò Huê) and Crab Soup with Thick Noodle, and each dish was exceptional. We were so impressed that we couldn't resist ordering more to take home for her family. My friend mentioned that the meal evoked fond memories of Vietnam and made her feel at home here in America. The restaurant even had some great vegetarian options for myself.
Highly recommend for anyone seeking authentic Vietnamese cuisine!

Best Bon Bo Hue that I have taste in MN. This place is well know for this delicious plate, it is the chef special. All the other food is also delicious, we try the Orange Chicken and the Pepper Steak and both were excellent in flavor. The service is great and reasonable price. 💯% Recommended
Restaurant: Saigon Pho Tempo (Bloomington, MN)
Rich Pho broth. Savory, aromatic with a well-balanced ratio of seasoning. Nothing over powering. If you're in the Twin Cities, MN area, come here for your Pho and BBH fix. This is a top 5 Pho restaurant in MN, and I highly recommend their Pho and BBH. Price is on the higher side, but the quality of food makes up for it.
Would I eat here again? Yes. Broth is consistent good.
Eggrolls: 9/10. I love the extra work put into the wrapping and lots of meat.
Vietnamese fish sauce: 9/10
Springrolls: 9/10. Refreshing. Perfect balance of meat, noodles, and veges.
Springroll dipping sauce: 8.75/10
Dumpling: 7.5/10. Average, but the sauce was great.
Bun Bo Hue: 8.5/10. Very well balanced broth. Beefy and porky. Spice was just rite for customers, very herbal, lemongrass was on point.

Overall satisfying. Visited this spot for lunch with friends. Ordered some apps and pho! 1. Oxtail pho: all was good except for the oxtail part. Meat was not tender. Otherwise regular sized bowl had huuuuge portion. Great broth. 2. My sister who is vegan ordered vegetable pho but they do not have veggie broth. It would be nice if they had vegan broth options for vegetable pho and maybe with tofu added as a protein option like a lot of the other places. 3. Egg rolls : they were really good. But didn’t expect them to be so big! :-) haha definitely recommend! 4. It’s in this little strip mall and an Asian market, so it’s nice to look around or go grocery shopping! 5. Place was overall clean and staff was friendly. Spacious seating. I would return again.
