The Pho (Fah) is Pho-fulous!!! Portions are enough to feed an army and don't get me started on the egg rolls and spring rolls. Forget about! Delicious! Only con is the size of the place, get there at the wrong time and you'll have to take you order to go. There's about tables that seat about 4 each.
Review Source:Found this place because I was looking for pho near friend's house. I like it! We got there about 30 minutes before it closed, so we were the only ones there. This place is very small...only about three or four tables.
The owners were sooo nice! I ordered pho and my friend got a vermicelli salad. We both really liked our meals. Â My pho was really yummy. It was maybe not the greatest we've ever had, but very good.
I will definitely be eating here again!
I was looking for a healthy, inexpensive meal, and bam! Vietnamese it is. Based on the great reviews, I had wanted to try Cadao for some time, and I was not disappointed one bit.
Holy giant spring rolls Batman! They really are a decent size, filled with yummy veggies, rice noodles, and at least three different kinds of lean meat, and served with delicious peanut sauce. When can I have another one of those things?
The pho was also exceptional. Of course the portions were huge: along with the broth you get beef, scallions, sprouts, rice noodles, peppers, and fresh basil, and once it's all mixed together in the bowl and topped with fish sauce and lime, there's nothing like it. Seriously, where else can you get that meaty, savory, spicy flavor?
One of the best parts: the portions are very generous. My one order of beef pho and cold spring rolls ended up being three full meals of umami heaven. Talk about bang for your buck! I think it worked out to less than $5/meal, including tip. Sure, you could do the Dollar Menu at some fast food restaurant for about the same amount of cash... but of course, cardiologists aren't cheap. I'll stick with the Vietnamese, thanks.
University ave or eat st quality pho, for us people stranded further south? Who knew? Â Now I do.
Pho, Bun salads, and a few other soups. Don't go looking for an exhaustive authentic viet menu, but what there is is excellent in a homestyle made for you two seconds ago way.
I'm very picky about greasy Chinese food (when is it ever even worth it in MN?) , so I'm not even gonna go there here. I got my grease on with the vietnamese egg rolls - they're pretty freakin' good, not the best ever, but far better than I expected.
Tear up your basil (fresh!) , dump in your fish sauce and give it a try.
I got really excited to see a Vietnamese restaurant near my work. Finally! I can have my Bún Tht Nng Ch Giò (Pork and egg roll bun) and I don't have to drive all the way to Nicollet Ave to get it. So the first time I go in I order Bún Tht Nng Ch Giò (which was on the menu) and they tell me they are out of pork. So I ordered the Bún Gà Nng ( and ask for it with an egg roll. Turns out the egg roll was extra even though they did not have what I had asked for. I came in a second time and asked for Bún Tht Nng Ch Giò (still on the menu) "sorry no pork". Ordered the Bún Gà Nng again with the up-sell egg roll (as others have stated is tasty and huge). Same thing happens the third time I try to order. Keep in mind that I have lunch between 11 and 12 so they should not be out of pork yet unless they only order half a pound once a week. At this point I am fairly frustrated and stop going. I figured I would try again and both dishes are no longer on the menu so I left. I really had a craving for some Bún today so I figured I would try one more time. Still gone from the menu. I asked why it went away and I was told that no one ordered it. Of course no one ordered it! How can you order a dish you never have!?!? Then they tell me the pork takes too long to cook. Out of the dozens of Vietnamese cafes I have been to this is the only one that has that issue. This is really sad because the Bún Gà Nng they DID have was quite good and I probably would have gotten it again. At this rate I will probably not return as it is clear by their two entree Chinese-American lunch special and their dwindling Vietnamese menu that this is another of many "Vietnamese" restaurants out there.
Besides my gripe, the Chicken Bun and the egg roll (see the image I posted for this restaurant) was good while they had it. It is a small space so I would plan to take out if you go.
Ditto on the owners, and the eggrolls. I've never seen them this big or this stuffed. The shredded carrots are very noticeable because there's so many. it's a good sauce but not enough for these monsters, get extra. I got the usual beef lomein. Not only was it good, but the most attractively served in a take out I've ever seen. A couple of older women were going to town on the beef pho. I asked if it was as good as it looked. They thought it was delicious, as they told me between slurps. I think I'll check it out. I might even eat in, they now have 3 tables, and pretty good sized. One negative that almost made me dock a star. Lately I've been finding some really great cream cheese puffs. Skip here, more dough surrounding a tiny blob of cream cheese. I'm giving them a pass, since man can't live on cream cheese puffs alone, and here, you won't miss them.
Review Source:mmmmmm..More delicious egg rolls! It seems to me that vietnamese restaurants know where it's at for making phenomenal egg rolls! Big, crunchy, and filled with delicous stuff inside. Plus the dipping sauce with some siracha makes it finger licking good!
Pho is delicous too! The meatball and beef Pho had great flavor and the meat came out rare-medium rare which is perfect because it finishes cooking before u can start eating it! Huge portions and great prices.
Warning! If you pay with a card, you need a bill higher than 15$ otherwise there's a 50 cent charge. Not a big deal.
Pretty comparable to Kimsons and will definitely be alternating between the two places.
Yesterday I started feeling a fever and body aches and chills, so I quickly searched Yelp for pho near my home and came across Cadao Express. Â By the time I picked it up and got home, I was officially sick and was never so glad to smell a big container of pho. Â Even in my congested condition I could tell this stuff was top notch. Â To echo another reviewer, I also have had slightly better broth, but this place is second to none around this neighborhood.
The owner was charming and helpful, and talked me into trying their spring rolls, which they made for me while I waited and were really spectacular. Â They're humongous, but luckily the place is generous with their peanut sauce (also fantastic, just the right level of kick.)
I won't wait until I'm sick again to check out their other menu items!
Just your ordinary Americanized Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant. Â Their Vietnamese egg rolls are good though. Â They do deliver within a 2-mile radius so that might keep this restaurant in play for me.
Don't try to dine there. Â The place is a dive and doesn't have seating. Â This place is purely take out or delivery.
Really good prices and large portions. Â The spring rolls are massive! They're like spring roll burritos, and that's kinda awesome.
The pho is pretty good as well. Â I've had better broth, this is best you'll find south of 62. Â Oh, it only comes in one size, massive.
The Egg Roll Salad is fantastic, also massive, and the egg roll is really well flavored.
I eat here about once a week, and the food has been super consistently well done.  Everything tastes fresh, simple, and home made, and the family that runs the place is very kind.  The place has literally 3 tables (4 seater, 4 seater, 2 seater), so it's essentially a hole-in-the-wall.  I call it, "a  place of good eat'in!"
This place used to be Cali's Express, but has changed ownership. Â It is now Cadao Express. Â I saw this place when I was out and about for PennFest, but didn't stop in. Â I was excited that they had pho on their menu so I had to drag the family in for a visit. Â The place is TINY - only 2 tables (they can seat a total of 6 people). Â Luckily, the offer delivery (limited delivery area) and take-out. Â The boys had the #8 pho (fresh sliced beef & meat balls) and I had the special. Â The bowls were large - enough to fill me up and satisfy my pho craving. Â The broth itself was good. Â I wouldn't say that it's as good as Quang's or Jasmine 26, but it's light years better than the pho at Bona or Lotus. Â It was a wee bit greasy and the tendon and tripe in my pho didn't taste as fresh as it does when I order from the restaurants on Nicollet. Â I would recommend sticking with the sliced beef & meat balls. Â I got plenty of meat with my bowl of pho (I hate it when I get all rice noodles and not enough meat) and there were plenty of condiments (bean sprouts, lime wedges, basil, cilantro, jalapeno) to go with the pho.
Most of their menu is the typical Americanized Chinese fare, but they have bun salads and things that make me miss my mom - bun rieu and bun bo hue. Â Unfortunately, they don't have any banh mi. Â
The service was great. Â The owners were very friendly and polite. Â They asked if my 6-year-old wanted onions in his pho, which I appreciated, because the 6-year-old hates onions. Â Most places don't ask.
It's a family-owned business and it was really slow when we were there. Â If you are in the neighborhood or if you're not in the neighborhood but don't want to trek down to Nicollet, stop by and give them some business. Â Just be warned that it's not fine dining. Â I don't want them to close - I need a neighborhood pho restaurant!
