Absolutely the best Vietnamese anywhere! Don't come here for American stir-fry or you will be disappointed (Try Lotus, Kindo or Village Wok). Spring rolls and suce are to die for. Try "F" for a great pho or "Y" if you are feeling like soup (off of the Traditional menu). The crabmeat lagoons are my children's favorite. Service is exceptionally fast. Don't be offended if you get your bill with your food as many who frequent here want quick in/out service. Be careful where you park or you will get booted.

I tried Bona because of recommendations, both on here and from some co-workers. I was quite disappointed. It took 10 minutes for anyone to come and take our order. A group who arrived after we arrived were served before we were (you would think it would be faster and easier to serve 2 people rather than a group). Five minutes after receiving our food, we received our check. It was also the time that a waiter (not our waiter) came by and swiped the pho condiments from our table, even though I had barely started eating my pho. I ordered the pho dac biet (special), which was nothing special. The soup tasted salty and it had more noodles than toppings. The basil leaves that came with the pho were BLACK and inedible. I couldn't salvage a single leaf. The husband had sweet & sour chicken lunch special, which came with exactly 4 pieces of chicken. We counted. The fried rice was just that -- rice that had been fried. There was nothing in it, except later on, the husband found a piece of eggshell in his rice. Needless to say, we will not be back. Try Village Wok, Hong Kong Noodles, or even Lotus (crappy service, but at least the food was better than Bona's).

Although the food is good the service is terrible and ruins the dining experience. During a busy Sunday lunch there was one server for the entire restaurant who got our order wrong, forgot to bring our soup, and couldn't be flagged down.

The egg rolls at this restaurant are unlike anything I've ever eaten. They're far and away the best egg rolls I've had. The pho tai soup is so delicious and its such a great value for its price. I highly recommend this restaurant

Excellent food at a excellent price.
I use to live in the Minneapolis area and frequently visited Bona several time a month. Especially like the Hot & Spicy chicken and the egg rolls are the best I ever had.
Wish they had a web site to order from.

I love this place! It is the best food ever and a great value. Try the pho tai...it is delicious on a cold day. I frequent this restaurant for lunch and avoid the dinner time as they change from non-smoking to smoking in the evening :(
Great place to eat and it will keep you coming back for more.
