Ventured to Vinai from downtown and it was well worth the trip. The restaurant has a dimly lit intimate vibe with an open kitchen and I appreciated the distance in between tables. Shout out to China for an excellent dining experience! She had though

Fantastic experience from start to finish.
Exactly what we were looking for to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Great ambience, everyone from the hostess to the bartender was exceptional and the food was amazing. Went on the recommendations from friends and staff and each dish was delic

We visited to celebrate our anniversary, and the atmosphere and service were lovely. I'm usually a bit hesitant about upscale Asian cuisine since I grew up with it and have certain expectations-but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was delici

I have been thinking about this amazing place quite often since we went. Stuffed trout, eggplant and carrots and more! Every one was attentive without being intrusive. Knowledgeable w/o being pretentious. Warm atmosphere lively but not noisy. Food wa

Wow! This place was absolutely a perfect culinary experience! The food was excellent! Our server was amazing. Very helpful and made excellent suggestions. The restaurant is in an old brick building and the interior is a blend of old and new. Very in
Really wasn't impressed.
As an industry vet, the flavors just weren't there. Dishes are very hit or miss and while the portion sizes are generous, you can get much better given the multitude of Hmong establishments in the twin cities. Over-salting your entrees does not

We were not at the restaurant itself, but at a wedding reception (at the Modus Locus Expansion) that was catered by Vinai. If their catered food is this good, then I can only imagine what the restaurant must be like. It was wonderful. They served Hi

I had just gone on a work trip to the Minneapolis area when the Best Ever Food Review Show episode with Chef Yia Vang popped on my FB feed. It was a great episode and I booked mark Vinai in case I needed to return to Minneapolis for work again. Sli

Wow, the crabby fried rice was some of the best food I've eaten. The grilled carrots is a fun, unique dish that I very much enjoyed. The laab carpaccio the curry rice ball were both good as well. The staff were pleasant & ambiance was decent
Started with drinks.
I got the hmoob ntsuab "hmong-JUAH" $17. I liked it and would get again. Gin,pandan,pistachio orgeat, lime - menu says bright, nutty, rich and this fits nicely. Most other drinks were good and liked by the person ordering. I might try the

This might be the best meal I've ever had! Loved the crab fried rice, sticky ribs, charred cabbage and ended with an awesome lava cake. The service was perfect, too. Fair prices for huge portions of quality food and a great experience overall. L

Scored a kitchen table seat about a month in advance, as reservations run out like crazy here!! Named one of the best new restaurants in the world by Condé Nast Traveler, a luxury lifestyle and travel magazine. This is a Hmong restaurant, a cuisine
A simple yet elegant ambiance.
Good host and servers that provide you with a lot of information about the menu when asked. As good as ambiance and service is, the food is the star here. Menu items are described as sharing size portions. We ordered sardines as app. I have never
Thanks Roman.

Connect with users posting reservations for Vinai Minneapolis
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Vinai Minneapolis. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Vinai Minneapolis at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Vinai Minneapolis page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CompellingStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CompellingStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CompellingStation67 for any questions Peter may have as CompellingStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CompellingStation67 now uses their connections at Vinai Minneapolis to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CompellingStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CompellingStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CompellingStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Vinai Minneapolis!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
