Bun Mee - Bun Tea

This place doesn't get enough attention because it's in the burbs. The space is clean, bright, and welcoming. The staff is always really friendly and happy to offer any advice you want. Any time I'm in the area without other plans I love to grab something to go.I'm a sucker for spring rolls and their tofu ones are decent. The peanut sauce is the best part. Thick, peanutty, and a hint of pepper to keep it interesting. The tofu rolls are a little lacking in the actual tofu but otherwise are ok.The banh mi are fantastic. They bake the bread in-house and if you're lucky you can smell a fresh batch being taken out of the oven. Crispy exterior and soft, chewy interior. They absolutely stuff them to the gills. Tons of protein and enough condiments/veggies to keep it really flavorful. You could easily make 2 meals out of it. Haven't had their boba but assume it's on the same standard. If you're in the area and craving Vietnamese I highly recommend this place.

We popped by on a Saturday night at 6:30 craving pho soup and hoping the dinner rush would be wrapping up.This was my 3rd time eating here in the last year as the food keeps bringing me back. The cozy vibe is appreciated until you sit down and notice how stained the cushions are. We tried the Vietnamese pork sausage spring rolls to try something new. Naturally, the spring rolls came out 1 minute before our entrees did. Great foundation for a spring roll but the sausage had little to no flavor. We both had the Pho Special which was good but the broth does not stand out. However, the most consistent part that sticks out to me is how SLOW the service is! We don't know if they are just understaffed kitchen as they are in the front of house - but every time we end up waiting at least 30 minutes from the time we order. All tables experience the same which isn't hard to notice. If you are famished - mentally prepare to wait.

I thought going out to Shakopee to try something different, but it was alright. My friend and I got some drinks and a couple of dishes. I got a bowl of pho, and my friend got a bowl of the vermicelli noodle dish. The pho was alright, it tastes better than the vermicelli noodle. The sauce had a weird flavor. It did not go well with the dish, something we mistakenly did was pour the whole sauce into the dish. Do not do that, try it first. The pho was good, but not the best I have tried. The chicken wings were good, just dry

I've never had a bahn mi with so much meat! It was so good and the bread must be baked fresh onsite. The pad thai was ok but the noodles were dry and stuck together a lot. I added lime juice, soy sauce and sirracha to give it more flavor and loosen the noodles up. I opted for NO crushed peanuts on top. The portion was huge for 1 person! The egg rolls were good and I liked the dipping sauce but wish it were a little thicker. The shrimp spring rolls were the best we've had here in the surrounding area. It had a good portion of plump shrimp inside. Service was really good. Lots of parking and easy to get to.

My matcha with mango was unbelievably delicious. I would go back just for the drinks. The egg rolls were good but not GREAT. My steak pho was still good even though I took it to go and same with the banh mi with pork. The inside was very cozy and chill. Our server had recommendations and that's what led me to go the delicious matcha!

A few friends and I stopped by here before an event at Canterbury Park. It was less than 10 minutes to get to the event, so we had plenty of time to enjoy. This place has a great feel to it. The space is very spacious, yet cozy at the same time.We had a few people coming in at different times, but staff was gracious enough to allow us to order as they came in. I'm very impressed with their patience with us. On to the food! Not pictured: The Matcha drink had like an Oreo cookie crumble combined. The flavors mixed well, and it wasn't too sweet. I usually don't like too much sweetness. I would recommend giving it a shot. The pho broth was pretty good. I usually expect a run of the mill taste, but I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful it was. I didn't even add hoison, which I usually add a lot of. It was a little spendy at $18, but I enjoyed it all the same. The banh mi was very tasty as well. I didn't initially get it, but after seeing how much my friends enjoyed it, I had to get one to go. I also picked up 2 banh mi tofu to go as well for my vegetarian parents. I ended up eating it cold, and it was still delicious. One warning for the vegetarians is to remember to ask for no pate. I 100% forgot to make sure there was no meat in the banh mi tofu, so I take the blame here. We reworked the banh mi, and my parents were still able to enjoy parts of it. All in all, I'll likely hit Bun Mee up next time there's an event in Shakopee.

Cute atmosphere. Lots of staff, not a lot of patrons. Lots of open space. Friendly staff. Food probably isn't for me. The ingredients were fresh but it didn't quite meet what I was hoping for. The pudding was nice but with both mung bean and red beans, there was too much bean starch going on. Would love some mint in the spring roll to hep being more flavor to the party.

Bun Mee has a super cute aesthetic. The bubble tea cups are super cute as well. I've been here 2 times - once for take out and once for dine in - both times I thought the food was just okay (tried different things each time). When we dined in we were sat at a somewhat messy table. There was a mess on the table as well as food all over the floor and some on the seats. We stood around the table waiting for the host to come back but he kind of avoided coming back for a while so we went back to the front and asked to be moved tables and another guy put us at clean table.We ordered a few dishes but again the food wasn't that great. It was all kind of bland. I would probably go back for just the bubble tea.

My friend and I came to this establishment today for lunch, and for the most part, my experience was great. There were some highlights, and a few small details that I considered areas of opportunity. Overall, though, I would recommend those around the Shakopee area to come here to dine!I thoroughly enjoyed Bánh Mì Heo Quay, which basically meant crispy pork belly bánh mì, as it was gigantic along with a lot of pork, so it was crunch and flavor all around! Maybe the pork could have a bit less skin and more meat since they were pork bits, but honestly when it comes to crispy pork belly, having just skin is amazing as well.Bún Bò Huế was pretty good. I wasn't sure why it was not on the menu, but rather on the board by the front door, but I felt like one could've easily missed it, not knowing it existed. I am sure they have their reasons, but I would've prefered being able to see it on the menu right away. It tasted pretty good, but didn't have enough content. Even the amount of noodles was just okay, and I wasn't full after a bowl, which might've been why I had to order other food.My friend got the steak & eggs, which she saw from TikTok, which for some reason also wasn't on the menu but just the board. Once again, I felt like that customers could've easily missed it. I liked the fact that they provided baguette and veggies to put steak and eggs into the bread to make a sandwich. The steak tasted pretty good!In terms of the drinks, my friend thought the matcha Vietnamese coffee was too strong, as she started feeling jittery almost right away. I enjoyed my brown sugar fresh milk boba, but I totally forgot to ask about if I could reduce sugar content or ice, because I felt like I would've enjoyed it more if I had no ice and less sugar.Therefore, with all the comments above considered, I would give this establishment a 4 for now. However, I think they have a lot of potential and I wouldn't be surprised if many customers find them worth a 5 star! They have a good amount of innovation with their menu while offering options to those who prefered a more traditional food option. Once again, I would definitely recommend them!

I go here Everytime I visit Minneapolis. Has the taste of Vietnam and I'm Vietnamese so I'm not easily impressed unless food is great. Service is great, Decoration is great, and drinks are great. Highly recommended
