I took a drive to the university area on a Saturday afternoon looking for a place to eat and passed by Ngon Vietnamese Bistro. I decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did! The cuisine here is Vietnamese/Asian fusion, featuring favorites like pho, spring rolls, and run mi. In the summer, there’s a lovely small outdoor terrace, but I chose to dine inside. The dining room is bright and cheerful, with vibrant colors and large picture windows at the front, making it fun to watch the trams pass by on the Green Line metro—Victoria St. stop is nearby.
The menu is simple but excellent, offering a small yet carefully selected range of Vietnamese/Asian-inspired dishes along with a page of daily...
I had a fantastic date on the patio, giving my experience a rating of 4.5! Service outdoors is managed through the Toast app, allowing you to scan a code at your table to order and pay directly from your phone. I kicked off my meal with an Old Fashioned and some crispy rabbit dumplings. The dumplings were served hot in a delicious coconut curry, while the Old Fashioned had a pleasant aroma but could have used a stronger alcoholic or sweeter flavor.
Next, I tried the steamed duck bao, which was flavorful but slightly dry, possibly because we visited closer to the end of the restaurant's hours. We enhanced the bao by dipping it into the coconut curry, which made it much more enjoyable. The s...

This restaurant stands out as one of the few upscale dining options in my area. My partner and I decided to go there for a date tonight. Upon our arrival, we noticed that about half of the tables were occupied. The host was getting ready to seat us when suddenly, the manager rushed over to inform us that there would be a 30-minute wait. We were fine with waiting and suggested enjoying a drink while we did, but the manager insisted that we couldn't even sit for 30 minutes because all the other guests had just arrived. Feeling confused and frustrated by this response, we ultimately chose to leave. It’s disappointing to have had this experience, especially since we've been living in Minnesota f...
This restaurant was nearly empty during our visit, and we found the prices to be quite high. If you're Hmong, you might want to think twice about dining here, as it could lead to disappointment. There were only three customers, including us, when we arrived. The eggrolls are quite large and seem designed for Western tastes. We ordered the Bo Kho, which was priced at $20—a steep amount for a plate of beef stew. The dish itself wasn’t anything special; you could easily replicate it at home, and it might even taste better. We also ordered Bun and asked for ribeye along with the eggrolls, but instead, we received double the eggrolls and no ribeye. It feels like we mistakenly ended up at the wron...
Ngon’s has fantastic food (it was one of my favorites before I became vegan), but they really need to expand their vegan options. Recently, we wanted to order from Ngon for a family dinner, but since there are four vegans in our group, we needed a variety of choices. Unfortunately, the current vegan offerings on the menu aren’t sufficient to accommodate us for a meal. With skilled chefs at their disposal, they should be able to create more substantial vegan dishes. Why isn’t Ngon stepping up to this challenge?
Our nephew recommended Ngon I am sure I would have never picked it. I tell you I am looking forward to going back. I just had the rice bowl with chicken, it was really good. Our nephew had the pasta and pork that's what I am going to have the time. From what I hear you will want to try it.

Amazing spring rolls (limited availability).And the Pho is absolutely amazing.There is a bar to sit at.The ambient lighting and music makes dinner for a great date night.I enjoy the usage of metal chop sticks. However they seem to not hold the noodles as well.
update: terrace is open. dog-friendly terrace. the pho is so amazing! there are fun drinks and all local beers served. the owner places great value on keeping the menu fresh and new. great atmosphere.
