"Everything was delicious even though the food was more on the sweeter side than traditional Vietnamese dishes. My favorites— fried egg rolls and fresh Vietnamese ice coffee. ☕️ 💜"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our family recently visited Vina Vietnamese in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul while filming a new episode for our @RealTalk Geo YouTube channel — and it was such a memorable dinner. We hadn’t been back in years, and I was honestly blown away by how much the space has changed. The renovations are an absolute knockout. I know they were done a few years ago, but walking in now it feels like a completely different place: spacious, modern, fresh colors, stylish artwork, and great lighting that give the whole space an urban yet welcoming flair. Francis, the owner, his family and the staff were so gracious and attentive — they made our dinner feel like more than just a meal; it felt like community. We ordered the PHO SPECIAL (the broth was rich and comforting), fresh spring rolls, cream‑cheese wontons (golden and gooey), classic pork/wonton soup, and the beef & potato dish — which really stood out. The potatoes were thinly sliced but still had a satisfying chew, and there was a subtle sweetness (I suspect from oyster sauce) that paired beautifully with the beef. Our daughter Benedetta loves pho—and she was completely in awe of the fish tank in the dining room. We sat there, and you could actually see the joy in her face—she kept pointing and smiling. For those who don’t know, Highland Park is a wonderful little corner of St. Paul—a true “small‑town” feel inside the city. I grew up coming here with friends, and eating at places like Vina used to be part of what made it special. If you’re in St. Paul and want to explore a local gem, stop by Vina Vietnamese. You’ll be glad you did. As a very happy and appreciative customer, I’ll say: Thank you, Vina. We’ll be back — and we’ll tell our friends. Geoffrey Serdar | Real Talk Geo"

"Lunch at Vina Vietnamese in Highland was just what I needed after a long moving day on Sunday. To be clear, I’m not moving anywhere; only my stuff was. I had the grilled pork and egg roll rice noodle salad bowl — fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. We also shared a plate of crispy cream cheese wontons with sweet dipping sauce. A nice meal to celebrate getting everything packed into storage, seeing his new place, and—most importantly—starting to explore the local food scene."

"We were craving pho noodles and Vina Vietnamese Restaurant did not disappoint! The pho was flavorful and satisfying—just what we needed. The beef fried rice was also delicious. The service was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. A great spot for a comforting bowl of pho in St. Paul!"

"the food was alright ! i seen my waitress about 3 times. when she asked me for my food , when she brought it, and then when she gave me the check .they did try to charge me for two bowls of pho 🤔 also if dine in for two people expect the 15 % tip to be 68 dollars ."
