"Food was delicious (per usual) and the service was great," wrote Yelper Katie P., who reviewed the restaurant on March 29. "For food, I ordered the slow-roasted pork plate with black beans and yellow rice — classic that can never go wrong, especially with an order of the green sauce. I also ordered a side of cornbread — so sweet and the honey butter is to die for."

2. Alma

Next up is cafe and New American spot Alma, situated at 528 University Ave. SE. With 4.5 stars out of 472 reviews on Yelp, it's proven to be a local favorite.

"Hands down one of the best tasting menus available in Minneapolis with a very thoughtful wine pairing menu to match," noted Yelper Sarah M, who reviewed the spot on Feb. 16. "The price point for such wonderful food is also well below what you would expect for such high-quality dining."

3. Lepot Chinese Hotpot

Chinese spot Lepot Chinese Hotpot, which offers hot pot and more, is another top choice. Yelpers give the business, located at 507 14th Ave. SE, 4.5 stars out of 133 reviews.

"This was my first time at this hot pot place and overall I liked it," wrote Yelper Alysha W., who reviewed the spot on April 17. "I had the house spicy broth medium, which was actually really spicy. I chose to purchase my hot pot items a la carte, which I really like that you can do. I feel I got good portions of the items."

4. Kbop Korean Bistro

Check out Kbop Korean Bistro, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 194 reviews on Yelp. You can find the Korean spot at 425 13th Ave. SE.

Yelper Kat B., who reviewed the Korean spot on April 30, wrote, "The food was great; I just came for lunch and got Japchae with beef. A tiny bit on the oily side, but the meat was perfectly seasoned and tender. They serve each dish on a tray with your own sides and rice. Huge fan, I can't wait to come again."

5. Al's Breakfast

Finally, there's Al's Breakfast, a local favorite with four stars out of 476 reviews. Stop by 413 14th Ave. SE to hit up the diner and breakfast and brunch spot next time you're in the neighborhood.

"Hidden gem," noted Yelper Harington J., who reviewed the diner on May 17. "From the squeaky stools to the quirky dolls and figurines on the counter, this narrow hallway embodies what little is left of Minneapolis in the '50s. I got the huevos rancheros. The smooth texture of the eggs and the freshness of the peppers can turn even a dull dish into something simply delightful."
