Quangs-Best Vietnamese Restaurant
If you are looking for tasty Vietnamese food at moderate prices, journey to Eat Street in south Minneapolis. Eat Street is a 17-block stretch, starting downtown near the Minneapolis Community and Development Agency on Nicollet Avenue and winding south through the Whittier neighborhood.

What attracts this loyal following is a menu of well-made noodle soups, salads and other Vietnamese favorites served in large portions at very reasonable prices."

Their hours are Wednesday through Monday 10am to 9pm; Quang is closed on Tuesdays. The spring rolls are some of the best in town. Their hearty soups warm when you come in out of the fall chill. Visit Quang, one of the best Vietnamese and vegetarian restaurants in the Twin Cities. prices, but because the atmosphere is relaxed and cheerful. The service is personal, but not obtrusive, even at their busy times. Casual decor accents the dark green booths. Chair rail, a wooden trim, divides the wall with white painted surfaces on the top half and a dark maroon, burl oak pattern on the bottom. There are two walls of windows making the daytime dining light, airy and very open. Each large window is graced with a large vase of lucky bamboo. Silk plants adorn the dividers in the middle. Forks are typically not provided. Chopsticks and soupspoons are on the table along with various sauces: soy sauce, houisin sauce, hot chili sau
