Co Tu Oriental Cuisine - Minneapolis

Very small space for Pho and Essen. The noodles for Pho is somewhat wider, then the regular Pho we usually have. Something different with fried rice and 2 egg rolls and your main meat or duck. Very delicious. Come back soon. The cow silks are also delicious. Very lick.

Had the Pho Tai. Very nice presentation with finely diced green onions on top. Broth was flavorful, but the overall soup was lackluster. Perhaps it was the noodles. I'm more accustomed to rice noodles

Vermicelli salad is AMAZING here! The pork and shrimp were so fresh and tasty. please go check them out truly recommend! Thank you for your service ?

This restaurant serves probably the best Bun Bo Hue in the city and makes a really fun pho fun as in the traditional noodles rather than vermicelli as well as a good platter). I do want to point out that they make outstanding classic Viet-French dishes as well. For this winter, I had their excellent confit which takes forever to cook at home but ready to go in their restaurant. It is a bit more sauced than I would care for this go around, but it is an outstanding dish. The other dish that works especially well that is not soup is their Broken Rice platter which balances several ingredients for a delicious lunch.

Had the oxtail pho. For about $15 it was high but the prices of oxtail cost as much as ribeye now so I can understand. The flavor was good and so was the service. The noodles were a bit too soft but otherwise I like the broth and the oxtail was well cooked. I have been to many Vietnamese pho places in the country and this one is good considering I'm in Minnesota which is not exactly known for pho. Overall it's authentic. Service was good and the the place is your standard strip mall restaurant layout.
