There are several things about this place that are great, one not so great, and one very bad.
The very bad was that their prices on their menu did not match the price they charged, and they have upcharges which are not on the menu that they do not inform you about when they ask.
The not so great includes the prices and portions. Some of their drinks cost over 7 dollars, which is steep but understandable, but they filled the cup with ice effectively halving the amount of the drink. The portions are just quite smash for the price. Even having some rice or something on the side could help justify the price. They also prompt for a tip before service at a largely self serve establishment.
Now for the great! The atmosphere was very clean, but still tastefully decorated. The music was good and at a good volume. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food tasted great generally, and is fairly unique in the area.
If they hadn't misrepresented their prices, they would have gotten 4 stars. If the portions were bigger, or prices lower they could easily be 5 stars.
What a gem! This family-owned, Northern Vietnamese inspired restaurant is a breath of fresh air for eatery... Incredible pho, some of the best chicken fried rice I've ever tasted, and creative/delicious drinks that will have you exploring the menu further. A must stop for the foodie and casual
What a fantastic meal! We tried the bahn mi and shrimp chips and absolutely loved every bite... Perfectly savory, refreshing, and the perfect spiciness. Be prepared to wait a little for food in the drive-thru, but it's well worth it. It's great to have a brand new choice for food in Winona, and we can't wait to go back and try something new!
Their Bahn my was quite literally the best sandwich I have ever had in my life. Balanced perfectly with a little spice from the sriracha! Love being able to customize drinks find my perfect mix with their recipes. Can’t wait to see and try more!!! Winona has been waiting for a place like this! I will be going back very often 5 stars isn’t enough!
I definitely recommend Norvary! The food I have had is very good and the staff are very pleasant. And I can see that the owners read and respond to comments, so I want to take time to share my opinion for you to consider. I do agree with Kennedy about the bahn mi. I prefer a hard crusted and lighter French bread and--for my taste--I really missed not having cilantro on the sandwich. I understand from your previous reply that cilantro is not customary for the North region, but I would appreciate if cilantro could be an option to add on. Thank you.
With regard to your response... Okay, I get it (as I noted in my review). I will go elsewhere. Thanks and good luck to you!
Great food, great owners, great drinks. It was the perfect dinner choice with to eat with friends. We all agreed it is 5 star worthy! Everything was delicious. I’m so excited to try more from the menu and see the atmosphere of dining in.
