We got the Vietnamese coffee and the pork banh mi there. The service was super fast and the people were very friendly.When you get your sandwich, you get to help build it, so you get the "Subway" feel. I would say this is one of the best banh mi I've had in Minnesota. I'll definitely need to go back. read more

Working closeby, I'm always looking for quick, easy, and healthy options to grab when I don't bring a lunch with me! Lu's has been on my shortlist for a while! Parking is a bit tough in this part of town, but there are some street parking spots available on nearby streets. The space itself is tucked between a few other establishments. It is small, with tables for groups of two and four, which is perfect for the students and staff passing through. The staff is always very helpful and friendly when I stop by! This spot is known for its Bahn Mi and Rice Bowls! I always get a Bahn Mi, which comes in small (plenty for one meal) or a large (perfect for leftovers or to split). The pork is my favorite, which is always tender, flavorful, and piled high! The sandwich also comes with a plethora of traditional veggies, including carrots, cucumber, jalapenos, and cilantro! The crusty, crunchy bread really makes this sandwich! I like mine with pate and mayo for a bit of creaminess! Never hurts to add a side of their freshly fried cream cheese wontons! The serving size of everything is also a great value for the cost. Truly one of my favorite slightly hidden gems in the Stadium Village area. Will be returning regularly! read more

One of my favorite Bánh mi spots!! They have so many options, noodle salad, appetizers, teas, and banh mi! It's an easy lunch spot, and easy grab after a long day. This was a classic spot for me on campus. I'd often feel revitalized and deeply replenished after a Thai tea and a chicken banh mi here. I miss the spot that was there before, Fly Chix, but this was a welcomed new spot:) Definitely check this spot out, the ingredients are very fresh and delicious! I enjoy sitting inside, it has a nice amount of seating and gets great lighting! read more

Ordered the Grilled Pork Banh-Mi and split Pork Egg Rolls with a co-worker. Customer Service did a great job on presentation for a to go order. A crispy French Baguette with fresh pickled vegetables, house mayo, French pate, had so much unique flavors. Egg rolls were crispy with a good amount of food inside as well. A hearty meal for the money. Follow me for more reviews and message me what I should try next. read more

Was walking by this restaurant and had to stop in because the smells outside were too delicious to walk past. I ordered at the kiosk and chose the salad bowl. You can customize it to your preferences but I had them make it without any substitutions. That was a slight mistake on my part since there are fresh jalapeños cut up on top that were a little too hot for my spice level. Despite my jalapeño ordering error, the dish still was very fresh and flavorful. I ordered the chicken and it was tender and well seasoned. The fish sauce I ordered on the side added a slight sweetness to balance out the other flavors. After seeing the bahn-mi and hearing how delicious it was from my companion, I will have to return again to try it! read more

We like Bahn Mi sandwiches so were happy to see this place near our hotel. We came in early for lunch. Only one person was working, fielding online orders and the steady stream of I -person orders. She was trying her best, but really seemed to be struggling. I had the chicken Bahn Mi. I liked the flavor of the sauce and marinade for the chicken. Also, the veg was fresh and plentiful. Unfortunately, there was a lot of fatty chicken skin in the meat, which impacted my enjoyment. read more

we were near the University of Minnesota and were looking for something to eat and online recommendations suggested Lus sandwich so decided to check it out. they are vietnamese based but have an open concept similar to chipotle so you can modify your meal to your preference we got the spring rolls with curry tofu and the curry tofu banh mi. we have had both before at other vietnamese places and for me they were better at Lus because the tofu had flavor and spice and that added flavor to the entire meal. was it traditional, no but it was tasty. portion size was good and service was average read more

Create your own bahn mi with all your favorite toppings! Love how convenient the location is and the quality/quantity of the food. Ordered a small bbq bahn mi with all the toppings and a spring roll side (to go). It was a lot of food (for me), which left me with lunch for the next day. The service was fast and friendly. Everything looked nice and clean. Will most likely come back. read more

Small nice place. Nice decor for a sandwich place. They have many other locations but this one is near U of M. Decor and seatings are nicely chosen. A bit Modern and hip. Order 2 sandwiches: Special ham: made with there special ham. Flavor and everything is good. Just didn't put enough Mayo or pate to give the classic French influence banh mi taste that has captivated us here in America. Cold cut: nothing too special, classic Vietnamese ham and pork meatloaf combination. Feel like there wasn't enough meat in there to make the sandwich full filling. Besides that flavor is good nothing extra. Lu' has a lot of locations around, this one is so so. Wouldn't go back for a sandwich. My only critique: they have 2 sizes for sandwich choices. We got the small size for around 7$. It's just how the market price for a banh mi has shot up from 3-5$ to 7$ for small size and 10$ for a larger version. So just don't be surprised themonce cheap delicious and affordable Vietnamese banh mi price has sky rocketed pass your typical sandwich prices. read more

This is the newest location of Lu's and they serve fresh Vietnamese Banh Mi made to order. The inside is modern with art of scenery from Vietnam with lots of natural lighting. The banh mi artists load the sandwiches and the banh mi dac biet and banh mi thit nuong (special and grilled meat) are pretty good. I love that they load up on pate and butter. The Viet coffee is also pretty solid and the staff are super nice. read more

Ordered the BANH-MI sandwich with Pork. They were out of pork. Asked for chicken got beef. 4 salads in front of me waiting for avocado. Lady on till at a dead stop because the phone is more important than the patrons in front of you, you know the ones who ordered food before you picked up the phone. So after a solid 10 minutes of waiting in line for avocados and phone conversations I get a cold sandwich with the wrong meat. Thanks. Never again. read more

The food was excellent very fresh and flavorful! Definitely on my list to go back! There were no wait times, the order was ready when I arrived for pick up. read more

I ordered a Grilled Pork Salad Bowl for lunch and it was pretty tasty, but I wish the portion size of the noodles and veggies was slightly larger. The grilled pork was flavorful. I loved that the spring roll was crispy, but I also wished it was slightly less oily. Regardless, it went great with the fish sauce! read more

Meh. The banh mi I got was lacking so much flavor. Maybe the saving grace here is the large portion but you just end up with a large portion of meh food. read more

The person working was 5 star wonderful. The sandwich was not. I came to know Lu's over in northeast when I was at Aveda institute. The sandwiches were always balanced there. A good amount of veg to go with the perfect bread and succulent chicken. Not here. Quite disappointed. When you say a sandwich comes with "xyz" please put more than one slice of carrot, cucumber and cilantro. read more

I had the roasted pork banh mi with all veggies and mayo and soy sauce. The veggies are very fresh, and the roast pork was good. The bread was slightly crusty, and tasted very good, but it could have a little more 'chew' to it (if you know French bread, you know what I'm talking about). Definitely would eat here again. read more

Best Bahn Mi on campus. Quick service and great food. Very reasonable prices. There is also usually space open to eat in.
