★★★★★ 5.0 Steph Semler · Jan 2026

The owner was on his own. He took orders and delivered the beverages and food. He was also in charge of the bar drinks. I had hot Vietnamese hot jasmine tea (delicious) two egg rolls and Sesame chicken with fried rice. The egg rolls were very small compared to the spring rolls. The flavor was spot on I could have eaten a dozen. The Sesame chicken was very good. The fried rice was eggs, peas, carrots and green onion. A good portion. Enough for another meal. There were six of us in our party. Everyone was happy, except for the French fries which were to dark in color and tasted weird. We would all gladly come back again.

Excellent all around! Such a relief to have some great options in a northern MN city. We tried a variety of items. The cream cheese puffs are quite delicious, pho flavorful, dumplings delightful, lo mein masterful, and fried rice robust flavors. Highly recommend!

First time going in and was very pleased with everything. The seating area is very open with lots of seating and still spacious. Everything was clean and well kept. The food was amazing! Everything that was ordered was much better than expected. Fresh ingredients, tons of flavor and no leftovers to be had. I definitely recommend to anyone looking for something out of the ordinary for the region.

Sunny’s Restaurant is a hidden gem for anyone looking for absolutely authentic Vietnamese food. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this is a place that takes pride in tradition, flavor, and consistency. Nothing feels watered down or adapted for trends—this is real Vietnamese cooking done right. The pho is outstanding, with a deep, rich broth that clearly takes hours to prepare. It’s clean, aromatic, and layered with flavor, exactly how pho should be. The fresh herbs, tender meats, and perfectly cooked noodles come together in a way that’s comforting and satisfying. Their banh mi is another highlight—crispy bread, well-seasoned proteins, and fresh vegetables that balance every bite. You can taste the care in the preparation. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the food arrive
