When thinking of suburban dining choices, bland chain restaurants are usually the first places that come to mind. But hidden among these cut-and-paste establishments lie several locally owned spots deserving of diners’ attention.

Multiple locally-owned Asian restaurants serve egg rolls worth trying, so I ordered pork egg rolls from three top-rated restaurants in the Mounds View district: Siam Thai Asian Cuisine, Wok Cuisine and PHO 400. At about noon, each restaurant was very quiet with only a few others dining, and each featured great customer service and high-quality food. At each restaurant, one order includes two egg rolls with a dipping sauce, but the portion sizes differ quite a bit from place to place.

While the pork egg rolls from all three restaurants have positive facets, I recommend PHO 400 the most. This restaurant offers the lowest price and still has the largest serving size. I also recommend trying Siam Thai because they have fast service and scrumptious egg rolls. However, I don’t think I would recommend Wok Cuisine because I don’t think it’s worth the price for your portion.
