"A sprawling shopping center just south of Lake Phalen, Hmong Village has an excellent produce section, and is a great place to stock up on lemongrass, fresh chiles, mangos, and hefty Hmong cucumbers. Sidle over to the food court for Hmong sausage with purple sticky rice, steaming bowls of khao poon, and chicken wings stuffed with bean thread noodles, herbs, and ground meat. Get there early on weekends — the parking lot fills up fast." - Cecilia Johnson, Eater Staff
