Trieu Chau RestaurantB+

500 University Ave W, St Paul, MN 55103 · Vietnamese restaurant, Chicken restaurant, Lunch restaurant · Summit-University

Beloved, no-frills Vietnamese stalwart with standout pho and bun bo hue, fast service, and great prices, though sweetness in broths and occasional service lapses divide opinions.

The verdict

Trieu Chau delivers solid neighborhood Vietnamese dining with strong food quality anchored by praised pho, bun bo hue, and hu tieu, plus exceptional value and generous portions. Consistency challenges—broth sweetness and seasoning variation—prevent a higher grade, though loyal repeat customers over decades and fast, efficient service confirm reliable core execution. The no-frills setting and occasional service oversights keep it competitive with respected local favorites rather than a destination standout.

One caveat: Some diners find pho broth sweet or underpowered compared to other area shops
