If you are in the mood for Vietnamese and Chinese food and do not mind a short drive out of the city, Viet Hoa Vietnamese and Chinese Restaurant is worth the trip. It sits in Westwind Plaza in Minnetonka, at 4773 County Road 101, and runs on a family-owned model that leans on a simple promise: traditional, healthy, and delicious. The place is built around the dream of owner Hoa Luu, who cooks the dishes he grew up with, and it has earned a reputation as a reliable spot for families and singles alike, young and old.

The menu is a broad mix of Vietnamese and Chinese classics. You will find the house favorites alongside egg rolls, spring rolls, Pho, fried rice, and banh mi, plus more specific pulls like pan-fried dumplings, sesame tofu, shrimp chow fun, walnut shrimp, Mongolian beef, Singapore noodles, cream cheese wontons, beef fried rice, and Thai tea. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well, so it is not a dead end for anyone at the table. Whether you are after a comforting bowl of Pho or something fried and savory, the range covers a lot of ground.
Beyond the food, the place is set up to be easy to visit. It offers dine-in, take-out, party trays, and catering for larger events, with kerbside pickup for when you are in a rush. The space is wheelchair accessible from the entrance through to the parking, restrooms, and seating, and it comes with free parking and free Wi-Fi. It is kid-friendly and pet-friendly, too, which makes it an easy choice for a casual family meal. Payments are flexible, taking credit, debit, and NFC mobile options.
One thing to keep in mind before you head out is the schedule, because it is not a seven-day-a-week spot. Viet Hoa is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10:30 AM to 8:30 PM, and Sunday from 10:30 AM to 8:00 PM, but it stays closed on Tuesdays. If you are planning to sit down and eat, the dine-in kitchen closes a bit earlier than the doors: 8:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 7:30 PM on Sunday. It is the kind of place that rewards a little planning rather than a last-minute impulse.
The reviews tell you why it has stayed busy. It holds a 4.9 out of 5 stars across more than 4,500 public reviews, with people consistently pointing to the authentic Pho and the fried dishes. There is also a softer side to the business that does not show up on the menu: the owner is known for supporting the community, including donating food to the homeless. That combination of good food and a genuine connection to the neighborhood is a big part of what keeps people coming back.
So, if you are looking for a solid Vietnamese and Chinese meal and do not mind the Minnetonka address, Viet Hoa is a strong contender. Just remember to check the day of the week before you go, and give yourself a little buffer if you are planning to dine in rather than take out.
