The name here is no case of hyperbole. Mai Vang truly is the Eggroll Queen. Known throughout the Minneapolis, MN food scene as much for her enduring spirit as her delicious egg rolls, Vang started cooking as a means of coping with hardship. In 2014, she unexpectedly lost her hearing without a medical explanation. She started making egg rolls to relieve stress, often serving them at fundraising events for local charities. Eventually gaining the designation of the Eggroll Queen, Vang founded her very own food truck. Now, she whips up egg rolls and more professionally.

Vang’s egg rolls are basically the Platonic Ideal of this tasty appetizer. These perfectly crisp, golden brown rolls come stuffed with loads of ingredients, including fillings you wouldn't expect. While traditionalists can grab a chicken or veggie egg roll (which will definitely not disappoint), you can also sample egg rolls stuffed with more American ingredients like bacon and cream cheese. Plus, the menu sports other Asian classics like chicken teriyaki and fried rice. If you’re drooling, stop by Eggroll Queen ASAP and sample the fare. Even better? Book them for your next event. You won’t regret it.
