FG4_ AndrewHaven’t tried Destiny Cafe in Years. Decided to try it out instead of going to HV down the street. Honestly was a complete disappointment. Thai Boat 1/5, Straight Salty To The Max! Pho 1/5 WATERED DOWN! I mean if you look at my photo, it’s clear as heck! Used to be good, now things just changed! Overall waiter was phenomenal. But the 2 kids in the front, needs to be monitored w/ this being a family owned business.
melvin yangHighly recommend the pad Thai, the noodles are juicy with the flat noodles. The tom yum soup is one of the best soups, it’s spicy but full of flavor. The koh pua is phenomenal. This is my go to place whenever I stop by to Minnesota.
Randy KimMy friend who’s been there plenty of times took me to this place and despite the low reviews, I trusted my friend’s judgment and came away feeling quite impressed with the Hmong food they had. Loved all my dishes including the fried tilapia with tomatoes. Definitely enjoyed it
Ceecee Vang10/21/23… lunch time.. food was good and service wasn’t bad either. Don’t recommend the spring roll sauce.. it was kind of salty, but ate it anyways. Will Recommend everything we ate pictured with this post. Portions were good as well. Worth the price.
Chimua LorIt has been years since my wife and I have dined in at DC2. The hype after its first opening seems to have died down. Usually when asked about DC2's food, folks seem to have mixed reviews. So because we were around in the area yesterday, we decided to give it a try to see what has changed. The menu seems about the same, with a few less items. The biggest change is the prices, which definitely is dollars more than it use to. Understanding with economy/inflation, pricing up is eventually going to happen. But is it worth really spending about $5-$10 on dishes where you can go a few blocks over to Hmong Village for cheaper? We ordered the combination pad thai (big noodles), papaya salad (Thai med spicy), and hli xiab (fried pork with tamarind sauce). I was always a big fan of the pad thai sauce from DC2, which seems to be the same as I remember it. However, the noodles are a bit thicker, like chow fun noodles. It was soft, feels homemade, and paired very well with the sauce & meats. The papaya salad was not overly sauced, and tasted very fresh. It had just the right amount of spiciness, sweetness, and sourness for both my wife and I. The hli xiab was a dish we have not tried before, and did very much enjoy. You pick a choice of meat which is stir fried with a sweet tamarind sauce accompanied with bell peppers and onions. There is an option to add spiciness, which we did do. We chose pork which was first fried, then cooked with the sauce and veggies. If you love sweet like in orange chicken, then this is the dish for you! The service was great, much better then I remember it. We were seated immediately, and the waiter was attentive. They also have a call system button now which you can click to ask for something or add things too. Overall, I was very impressed with DC2 and will come again. To go back on my question, I would rather spend few more dollars here then go to Hmong Village.
