I will confirmed that living in Cali for 26 years and where I'd say some of the best banh mi are! This place is legit! Their banh mi is best in Milwaukee by far and I've tried many here. Bread has nice and great texture, it is filled with all the right ingredients! They definitely know what they are doing! Will be coming back to try other items soon! Cali Approved!!!!

So tasty I ate every single bite! Convenient place to order food! Staff was fast and helpful. There's plenty of seating since it's In a food hall.

Definitely coming back for more!

Crispy Garlic Aioli Chicken Rice Bowl Crispy Chicken…read moreDumplings Bowls of Rice is one of those modern, build-your-own Asian-inspired bowl spots where you order at their self-serve kiosks or online through Uber Eats / DoorDash, super quick, easy, and low-stress if you're just trying to get in, eat, and go. I got the small and honestly... it was more than enough. Super filling for the price and didn't leave me feeling heavy after My favorite part was easily the garlic butter fried rice substitute that extra $ was SO worth it. It tied the whole bowl together and gave it that rich, savory flavor that made everything hit harder ‍ The crispy chicken was crunchy and coated in their garlic aioli, which was flavorful + creamy, but also kinda different than anything I've tasted before. I even liked the salad The dumplings were good, the sauce that came with it was different, almost tasted sweet. 5/5 Would definitely order again, especially for that garlic butter rice. I can confirm it IS worth the hype! & the cute note??!! Check out my full review on Instagram: @ratedbyaleena

The rice bowl was delicious. Highly recommend upgrading the rice. I like that it comes with a salad but wish it was in a separate container. I dislike when the salad gets warm. The salad dressing was good. I also had the crispy pork dumplings and found those to be great. I will definitely order from them again.

Food, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic!…read more We were greeted immediately when we walked in. The place was packed on a Saturday afternoon, so the greeter gave us some menus and let us know we could order and he'd find a table for us ASAP. We got to the counter and the cashier told us it would be a 45 minute wait. We accepted this and ordered anyway. We picked a curry, a noodle dish, and a Thai beer each. The cashier was very friendly. The original greeter found us a table almost immediately after we paid and mentioned the beer is especially nice over ice, so we took his recommendation. Beers came quickly, but food did take at least a half hour, as the cashier mentioned. Table and dining room were clean and nicely decorated with warm lighting and relaxing music. Bathrooms were also clean. Food was very good and flavorful. The portions were decent. We were full, ate most of our dishes, and didn't take anything home. The original greeter came back and checked on us while we were eating. Service was fantastic throughout the experience. The food was pricey, but aligns with other Thai restaurant prices in the area. Dishes were around $20. The whole experience was worth it. We will be returning!

I really wanted to love it based on the reviews but the flavors were not there for me for my go to…read morefavorites. I ordered Thai tea and it had zero flavor and not the traditional color that I grew up on, very light in color so light on the tea. Papaya salad was more salty than the sweet there is typically the perfect balance of fish sauce and lime but just wasn't what I'm used to. The OG wings were great, great flavor, great cook. They use huge wings but cut them in half. The mango sticky rice had a perfect amount of coconut mixture but uses a different mango that is more tart than sweet. They were busy, people order to dine in and for carry out. The food took roughly 35-40 minutes, which was fine, not mad about fresh food. It is a really cute restaurant in a strip mall with a good amount of parking, but it can be hard to find parking when neighboring businesses are also busy. You order from the counter and sit down and they bring your food to you. I'm glad I tried it but likely will try other places next time. Cost was roughly $35.

Loup is the perfect stop for a soup and sandwich combo lunch! I went with the soup flight. I wanted…read moreto try at least two soups, so it just made sense to get the flight and try four! It came out with nicely salted butter for the soft bread served on the side. For soups I got a dill tomato, curry lentil, hatch black bean, and cream of mushroom. The dill tomato was my favorite, I may try to recreate this at home since I am not from the area. The curry lentil was very filling and rich. The hatch black bean soup was something different to try- I ended up really liking it. Lastly, the cream of mushroom soup was not my favorite. It felt very plain and the mushrooms were cut into slices, I think I prefer more of a chopped or slivered mushroom. They have great natural lighting and plenty of seating. I sat and studied at one of the tables for a while.

Date of visit: February 21, 2025…read more Loup is a wonderful little gem that I came across (with a little help from Yelp, of course!) in the Wauwatosa village during one of my monthly lunch excursions with a friend from work and you should definitely check it out. While a tiny place, you're greeted with a wonderful smell as soon as you open the door, embracing your nose like a warm hug. Service was great! Staff was efficient and offered great suggestions, such as when I wanted the grilled cheese but I am not a fan of pepperjack and it was offered to add in some mozzarella instead of the pepperjack and it was not only a thoughtful suggestion, it was an amazing sandwich! I did a combo with the ginger carrot soup and it definitely had the ginger kick but was not too potent for me and I appreciated the suggestion from staff to try this one. Just a couple small quibbles that prevented Loup from getting five stars: - There were no croutons, crackers, or bread served with the soup. That is a must for me and something that can be easily corrected. - The M&M cookie--while quite large--was not great, especially for $4. It's my husband's favorite kind of cookie and he only had about a third of it before passing it on to me. I ended up having it at home with milk (which helped) but it was overall a disappointing and expensive dessert.

The best soup is the African peanut soup. Unfortunately, they only have it a few times a week. I…read moredon't go here that often, because they run out of soup frequently. The service is OK, sometimes it's wonderful sometimes it's not. It's a great place for soup lovers who are open to trying different kinds. Easy to find.

Friendly staff with a fast moving waiting area.

The two daughters took over the business from their parents who opened Vientiane in 2001. It's wonderful to see family owned businesses stay in the family! We even learned more about Laos culture with trivia :) We were offered wine, Lao beer, Thai tea, or iced coffee. I had a white wine and Thai tea. It was my first time to try Thai Tea and I loved it! It's sweet, but delicious. I enjoyed everything I tried! From the apps, I loved their spring roll with sweet chili sauce! Their tofu pad tai was to die for. I would order that for dinner any day! I chose chicken for my Pho and the flavor overall was delicious. For dessert, we got mango sticky rice which was so good! Overall, Vientiane is a great authentic local Laotian restaurant! When you walk in, you can just tell the food is going to be amazing. I will definitely go back soon with more friends and family.

The lunch buffet is a huge selection of different Asian food mostly Thai. Spice levels are normal because they have all of the condiments on the side so you can amp yous up with heat. The first plate of food we got was cold and it wasn't from the one cold buffet. We politely told the waitress who at first didn't believe us. More people complained and they fixed the issue. The food quality and variety was great but cold food definitely takes away from the experience. I need to come back on a more normal day and try this again. The Tom Kha soup was hot and very tasty so it's worn a return trip.

Tried it for the first time with high hopes, but unfortunately it fell short of what I was…read moreexpecting due to positive reviews from friends. I got the grilled pork banh mi with a cup of broth (~1/2 quart, $5) with a Vietnamese iced coffee. Sandwich was good, but it wasn't very big for $10. The meat, which was good I was expecting to be pieces of grilled meat, was very sparse and very thin, like bulgogi. The broth was pretty sweet instead of savory and likely already pre-seasoned with hoisin. In terms of service, I had placed my order first. Sandwich with the coffee. My partner said he'll have the same thing. I confirmed to make sure that was also including the ice coffee, and the person that took our order said yes. We waited for a while for our order (highly recommend ordering online, we just saw different prices on their website vs online ordering service, so we thought we'd just wait to order in person), then she forgot our iced coffees. We waited some more. She only brought out one. She said oh sorry, I only rang you up for one. So we waited some more. At that point I thought she would just let us have the coffee on the house, but she did indeed ring us up. We were probably in and out with our to-go order in about 40 minutes. All in all, I'd go back for the iced coffees if I was in the area because they were good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back.
