Hmong Village St. Paul: Visitor Guide and Vendors

Hmong Village is an indoor marketplace on St. Paul's East Side. Many small businesses share one building: produce and meat counters, clothing and jewelry stalls, tailors, herbal medicine, and a food court. Visit Saint Paul describes it as home to 17 restaurants, more than 10 farmers markets and more than 100 merchandise stores.

Stalls are organized more by trade than by any strict map. Walk through and you will pass:

• A butcher counter
• A stall stacked with dried chilies and fish sauce
• A jewelry case of gold and silver pieces
• A tailor with a sewing machine set up at the counter, taking alterations while you wait
• Textile and clothing stalls selling paj ntaub (story cloth), everyday clothing, formalwear and accessories
• Herbal medicine stalls with roots, teas and remedies
• Stalls selling electronics accessories, home goods and small appliances

The mix is not curated the way a mall's tenant list is. It was built stall by stall, as owners decided what they could sell and what the market needed. Regulars know whose counter has the best price on a cut of pork, the freshest bitter melon that week, or the fastest hemline.

For many visitors the food court is the destination. Expect:

• Papaya salad made to order, adjusted to your spice tolerance if you ask
• Egg rolls
• Laab
• Sticky rice
• Khao poon
• Boba and Southeast Asian drinks
• Stalls that do one or two dishes well instead of a long menu done adequately

Each stall is independently run, so quality and specialty vary. Asking a regular which counter does what best will get you further than picking the shortest line.

Most stalls take your order and payment at the counter and give you a number. If the food court is busy:

1. Grab a table first
2. Split up to order from a few different stalls
3. Regroup

St. Paul has two large Hmong markets, and visitors often mix them up. They are separate places with separate buildings and separate vendors.

• Hmong Village: 1001 Johnson Pkwy, St. Paul, MN 55106. Opened November 2010.
• Hmongtown Marketplace: 217 Como Ave, St. Paul, MN 55103, in the Frogtown neighborhood. It is the older of the two.

If a friend names a stall, confirm which market they mean before you drive. Our Hmongtown Marketplace guide covers the other one.

• Go hungry. The food court rewards trying more than one stall, and portions add up fast.
• Bring cash as a backup. Card acceptance varies from stall to stall.
• Weekends tend to be busiest. A weekday visit is quieter if you want to talk with a vendor.
• Check current hours first. Published hours disagree, and this guide may be out of date too.

Prices at most goods stalls are fairly set. Asking about a deal on a larger purchase, especially produce, meat or textiles, is normal. Keep it polite and low pressure. Once you are inside there is no wrong order to walk it. Follow whatever smells good, and do not rush past the smaller goods and jewelry stalls. Some of the most interesting businesses in the building are the ones without a line.

A stall costs far less to open than a standalone lease and buildout, and the market already brings the foot traffic. For many vendors, a stall at Hmong Village has been the first real step into business ownership. A new owner is not betting on whether anyone finds the location. The bet is whether the product beats the stall two rows over, which is a narrower question and an answerable one.

Many stalls are run by more than one generation. A parent works the counter while a son or daughter rings up orders or runs the stall's social media. That is how supplier relationships, recipes and regulars pass down without starting from zero.

The same logic works online. A shared directory does for a single-location business what the shared building does for a stall: it puts you in front of people who are already looking.
