Any late night Pho joints?

One thing I’ve hard a hard time accepting being back in MN is the lack of quality late night food. Are there any good Pho places open past 10pm?

thats my complaint about this city too. I work nights. If someone opened a late night ramen place, i would put their kids through college.

Jasmine 26 is really the only place that comes to mind. Their pho is passable, but you'd never choose it over Quang or iPho, etc. TBH I usually just opt for non-pho soup at HK Noodle instead, when it comes down to it..

If anyone else has any late-night pho suggestions I'd be very interested in hearing them.

I just looked up every Pho place in the Twin Cities on google maps and the only other one that's open past 10pm is Hai Hai in Northeast. Haven't been there myself so I can't speak for their quality. They've got great reviews though.

I've never had Hai Hai's pho but everything I've tried there is delicious.

Hai Hai is supposedly very decent. Of note though, they are open late, but do not serve food late. Their regular menu appears to end @ 22:30 after which a happy-hour menu goes into effect.

The only time I've been there was actually for a late night supper and their menu had ended, so we were unable to try their highly recommended food, unfortunately.

Oh that’s good to know, thank you!

Just here to say Pho Hoa is the best pho on eat street. Cadao Express is the best in the state

Better than Quang, I find that hard to believe but maybe. IPho by Saigon is about equal to Quang and those are the best two I have found.

Quang is too heavy on the staranese and rock sugar imo, I've always found it overrated

Cadao Express

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll have to try to make it a point to get all the way down to Cadao Express.

Out of curiosity, what's your impression of iPho? (apart from their tendon being too tough?)

I actually haven't tried iPho, I'll try to give it a chance sometime but it'll be hard to pass over Pho Hoa or Cadao

I don't understand the Pho obsession here. I've never had Pho that stood out to me as exceptional here in MN or anywhere else, it seems to be the usual broth and questionably fresh veggies and meat no matter where you go.

If you haven't tried Pho Hoa or Cadao Express then I would 100% agree, every other place is meh but I really suggest giving these two a shot

id say it has to do with the cold weather. nothing beats a huge steaming bowl of pho when its -hellish outside

What a tragedy. Got back from the Seattle area and didn't have a problem finding a 24/7 Pho place.
