About

Minh Hai Restaurant was opened in the fall of 2005 by Minh and his brother Hai. Although there are many wonderful local Asian restaurants, Minh Hai is one of the few restaurants focusing only on authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

Story

Authentic, pure Vietnamese cuisine. Vibrant flavors, the freshest ingredients. Offering many varieties of PHO, a wide variety of beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, seafood, tofu, vegetable, rice and noodle dishes.

Minh Hai Restaurant
Real Deal
By Lisa. E. Harrison
There’s more to Vietnamese food than noodles, fish sauce and protein. A lot more. Which is why we needed help navigating Minh Hai’s menu. (We’ll be honest: many of the sixty-plus dishes sound the same, give or take an ingredient.) If you ask a bunch of questions, as we did, you may get lucky and get Minh himself to appear tableside (he mans the small, clean, very well-lit storefront, while brother Hai’s in the kitchen). Minh chose goi bo ($8.50), a spicy grilled beef salad tossed with pickled carrots, daikon, mint, jalapeno peppers and a like-nothing-we’d-ever-tasted, smoky-flavored dressing. And then steered us toward chicken bun cha gio ($7.95), a slurp-worthy traditional vermicelli bowl with bean sprouts, iceberg lettuce and, of course, fish sauce.

Really, really good food. Stuff I haven't seen in any other restaurant, Vietnamese or otherwise. Friendly family run place that I always make a point of stopping at when I am in the area. Hole in the wall, not much to look at, but terrific, fresh food that will make you happy. Great value too.

Sometimes the service is slow, particularly slow when there's more than 3 tables. The food is worth it though. The rice plates are wonderful. Cash only. Update: After my last two visits, I have to reduce my rating from 4-stars to 2-stars. It took 15 mins after ordering to tell us that they were out of rice and it would take 10-15 mins for rice to be done cooking. The food is still good but the service is too slow to recommend. So, if you have at least a hour, Minh Hai would be good (though we were there 1.5 hours a couple months ago; we're fast eaters as well)

Love going to Minh's! It is the best Vietnamese food I have ever had. While the service may be a bit slow the warmth of Minh and his family more tha make up for it. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

I eat Pho a lot. Had it in Boston, London, NY...this place is better than Hon’s. Have not tried Pho Horn’s. But this broth is great! Sprouts and basil are fresh and they give you lots of jalapeños! I will definitely return. No need for the Extra Large. The large is plenty HUGE! Highly recommend for Pho soup!

Truly awful service. Came in for my birthday with 5 other people. 2 other parties (one table of 2, one table of 3) in the restaurant at 645 on a Saturday night and still had to wait for a table to be cleared. Once cleared, we were invited to sit, and NO ONE came to our table for 10 minutes. Then, they only brought wine glasses for the BYOB bottle I had brought. I asked for water/other beverages for those who were not drinking wine—including a child—and was told “yeah yeah, I don’t bring those, ‘she’ will bring that” then no ‘she’ visited the table (?!). Very poor customer service. This restaurant does not want your business. I wish the positive reviews I looked at, which drew me to this restaurant in the first place, had mentioned this sad fact.
