7. Dong Khanh
Reviewed By Tim D
This great little Chinese restaurant is located off the main drag in a little strip mall near Burlington Coat Factory. Don't let it's location fool you. They serve excellent Chinese food. This particular location doesn't have the extensive menu that their Division location does, but you'll still find your favorites: Curry Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, egg rolls, and more.I like that not all of their entrees are breaded. The Sesame Chicken can be ordered in various degrees of spiciness. I ordered medium and probably could have gone a little hotter. It tasted great, and I really enjoyed the flavorful fried rice that was served on the side. I recommend ordering a half order if you're eating alone. It was plenty of food. If you want food to take home or are sharing with someone, order the full order. The full order would probably be too much food for most people.I also had an egg roll, and I concur with what others have said. These are great homemade eggrolls with thin wrappers. Their not like the typical store bought frozen egg rolls with a thicker wrapper. Served with their house-made sweet and sour sauce, the egg roll was perfect.Service was brisk here over lunch, with a lot of folks coming in for take-out. You can either dine in or take your food to go. There were a lot of regulars who stopped in, speaking to the popularity of the place. I look forward to continuing to use Dong Khanh.

I remember when I first came to St Cloud, they were just starting out and the selection was so-so. Then they expanded their selection, got some notoriety and it was always packed. It was good! Was is the key though. They didnât try to build on that. The place is old and dirty now. One of the servers (shown in the pictures by another reviewer) is horribly rude. She was throwing stuff on the table like she was pissed off about something long before we got there and wouldnât refill my drink until I was almost done. When I dropped my fork and asked for another, it was notably a burden. The place obviously feels they donât need to try to earn your business anymore through service, ambiance, or changing up the food selection. As a local, I wonât be back. If youâre just passing through and donât expect much from the experience other than some deep fried and glazed Chinese food, sure...give it a try.

The meat in all dishes was over cooked, dried out and tough. The fried rice was tasteless. The lemon chicken was like Tyson breaded chicken breast, just reheated several times then sliced and served with lemon sauce on the side. The sweet and sour pork was grossly over done, hard as a rock and dry. We won't make that stop again.

Looking for some Pho for lunch and found this standup spot just off Division St. Menu has several options, but the authentic full blown variety Pho with beef, meatballs, tendon, and tripe will tickle your taste buds. Flavor with cilantro, jalapeños, sprouts, and fish sauce to taste. Canât wait to try the rest of the menu.
3. Hajime Asian Bistro
Reviewed By G8683VWwendys
Third in a chain of Minnesota Japanese dining establishments, Hajime (which means to begin) is a nice beginning to better quality Japanese food in central Minnesota. While nothing beats fresh Sushi near the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo, Hajime is a great central Minnesota substitute for those who cannot make the journey. Their sushi and sashimi has good fresh fish, that is tender and flavorful. Our server was very efficient and the establishment offers both low-sodium and gluten-free (tamari) soy sauce - although they are confusingly "presented" in identical green capped soy sauce bottles. They sem to be able to deal with a variety of dietary needs.Our table ordered two kinds of sashimi and a roll plate and we were all happy. The kaiso/seaweed salad is lovely - not oversweetened and not bulked up with cucumbers. You get a decent amount of salad for once (a pet peeve of mine with regard to other restaurants - getting a teaspoon of seaweed on a mound of cucumbers because it is the seaweed itself that I love! ) The ice cream dessert was appropriate to the meal. The red bean was a bit sweet and not as beany as I would have liked, but the coconut and ginger were excellent. Our avocado salad was delightful and the lettuce was green (unlike my experience in many, many Minnesota restaurants in the winter.) This alone deserves high marks! And my only (minor) complaint is that the eel roll ordered by a companion was a little nondistinct in taste - somehow the eel went into hiding - the roll was sweet and a bit mushy without enough eel texture or flavor. They even have a nice happy hour in the afternoon and then one in the evening with deals on rolls and drinks. There is sadly not yet a lot of choice in terms of individual glasses of sake, but they are working on this.All in all this was a great experience and I look forward to trying other dishes on their rather extensive menu. We have needed something like this in St Cloud for a long time.

We love Mongo's! They have a fantastic selection of protein and veggies to make an amazing bowl (or wrap)! Just add some sauces and oil, top with seasoning and BAM! I always get mine with 2 eggs and brown rice mixed in. Deliciousness! If you don't like it, there's no one to blame but yourself...
