Union Hmong Kitchen - Minneapolis

I like the concept of this location but a little dissapointed in the execution. Tried to order the skirt steak Happy meal, they were out, then they were out of the BBQ pork, so onto choice three the Hmong sausage. My favorite part was the charred asparagus and the couple of pickled vegetables that came with it. The sausage was fairly spicy and the sticky rice, once removed from it 's sandwich baggy was extremely sticky and bland... Maybe just a miss for me but the seasoning seemed to be extreme or non existent. I 'm also not a huge fan on the 18% surcharge for counter service, but appreciate they don 't ask for a tip on top. It also took quite awhile to come up for what it was...

Delicious! After watching Iron Chef, our family traveled here to try Union Hmong Kitchen. We loved the flavor profiles. The sauce that came with the pork belly was so good, well balanced, addictive and the skirt steak was flavorful and tender.

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 My husband and I ordered the zoo siab meal for the steak with a side of curried potatoes and chicken with side of khao sen noodles, marinated pork belly and skirt steak, and chicken sandwich. Presentation was mouth-watering. Both steaks and pork belly was marinated very well and tasted good even without pepper (and I love spicy foods). The sides we got were more on the light side which compliments the protein well. The grilled chicken and chicken sandwich was OK, the steak and pork belly was tastier in my opinion. I would definitely come again to try other items on the menu.

First of all, the location is a great place to eat. It?s a good court with tons of different restaurants. Ideal for people who can?t decide on one place to eat. The plating is Instagramable. As for taste, the sticky rice is right on, the pepper has a herby taste that goes well with the skirt steak, and the veggies were tasty. I got the side of Brussels sprouts. Definitely a must try when in town.

Not to be dramatic, but this is one of the best foods I?ve ever had in my entire life. I got the Zoo Siab meal with the BBQ pork and fried Brussels. The tiger bite hot sauce really pulled everything together but even each thing on its own was spectacular. Great flavor and spice. Awesome portion size too; I have some left over. Highly recommend.
