The Top 10 Restaurants Near Puma Yu's
-
The nam khao, a crispy rice salad built with fermented pork sausage, herbs, and peanuts, gives you a pretty clear idea of what Snackboxe Bistro is doing. This Duluth strip-mall spot serves Lao street food with Thai and Vietnamese overlap, and the portions run large enough that going solo is a genuine logistical problem. The chef's western Laos roots are the throughline, and the Michelin Guide has taken notice.

Rank 3. Masterpiece
Sichuan
A Sichuan restaurant in a Duluth strip mall that the Michelin Guide gave a Bib Gourmand, which should tell you something about the drive. Inside, red booths and yellow walls set a no-frills scene, and the family-style food is the entire point. The kitchen leans into the numbing heat Sichuan is known for, with big, carefully cooked dishes that take their time. Regulars tend to know exactly what they're ordering before they sit down.

Rank 4. Pho House
Vietnamese
Order at the register, find a seat, and eat until you feel better about everything: that's the full operating model at this Vietnamese comfort food spot in Duluth. Pho anchors the menu, with a combination bowl running filet mignon, flank steak, brisket, and meatball, and the bánh mì packed with chargrilled pork and pâté pulls equal weight. The Michelin Guide has it listed, which seems to please nobody and surprise everybody in equal measure.
